Lizzie stared at the clock all day. She was dreading vacation, but looking forward to being on her own for a change. The bell finally rang after 40 minutes of listening to Mr. Dig ramble on about Shakespeare. Lizzie used to like English, but that was when Frankie helped her rehearse. She stood up and her bag knocked her books right off of her desk. She bent over to get them and when she reached down, someone stepped on her fingers.

"Ow!" Lizzie said rubbing her finger.

"Hey hey Lizzay! Sorry I didn't see you there! Let me get those." A clumsy Ethan told the hurt girl as he bent down and picked up her books.

"Oh, thanks Ethan" Lizzie said, blushing as he handed her the books.

"So Lizzie, whatcha doin over vacation?" Ethan asked as they walked out of the English classroom.

"Oh, family vacation to the Bahamas" Lizzie replied, "How bout you?"

"I'm going skiing in Vermont with Kate." Ethan told her.

"Um, nice" Lizzie said managing a weak smile.

"Yeah, well have fun with Matt, I love that guy!" Ethan told her as they reached her locker to find an astonished Miranda.

"Lizzie did Ethan Craft just walk you to your locker?!" Miranda asked excitedly.

"Look's like it." Lizzie replied non-chalantly.

"Wow you really must be bummed about this family vacation thing, last week you almost fainted when he smiled at you." Miranda told Lizzie as they took books out of their lockers.

"Well I am, but I think I'm finally over Ethan." Lizzie told the surprised Miranda.

"No!! Well, it's a good thing because now that you're not hung up on Ethan, you can meet cute guys in the Bahamas." Miranda said.

"Good point, Sanchez!" Lizzie said giving Miranda a high-five.

"I thought you'd like it!" Miranda said, slapping her hand.

"Alright, my mom is picking me up today, I have to pack right away, we leave tonight!" Lizzie said.

"Have fun! And don't forget to write and give me all details.and I mean ALL details!" Miranda said as she hugged Lizzie goodbye.

"Don't worry; I won't forget my best friend! Tell Gordo I said bye and you have fun in Mexico!" Lizzie said hugging her back.

"Lizzie!" Jo McGuire called from the car in front of them.

"Coming Mom! Bye Miranda!" Lizzie said waving at her.

"Bye Lizzie!" Miranda said waving back.

Lizzie scanned her closet, contemplating what to bring with her. She brought a few halter dresses, a tube top dress, and shorts and tank tops. Of course, the best thing she was bringing were the three new bikinis her mom brought her. That's why she had picked her up from school; she brought her shopping to make up for allowing Matt to bring Lanny on the trip. The first one was a plain black bikini, except there was a belt around the bottom with a silver clasp that hooked it in the middle. She also got a tankini that started magenta and faded to lighter pink and then dark and light again Then probably her favorite, a light blue string bikini with cherries on it. She had to admit this kind of made her feel better about having to spend her vacation with her family. You never know she thought to herself it could be full of surprises.

"Lizzie, Phone!" her mom called up the stairs.

"I got it mom!" Lizzie screamed back!

"Hey Lizzie, its Gordo" came the voice on the other end.

"Oh hey Gordo, what's up?" Lizzie said into the receiver.

"Nothing, I just wanted to tell you that I hope you have fun, even though you're stuck with Matt and Lanny." Gordo said.

"Yeah I hope I have fun too, and thanks for calling but I have to finish packing, we're leaving in an hour!" Lizzie told Gordo as she looked around her room at the piles of clothes she was still trying to decide if she should bring them or not.

"Oh, um sure, I'll see you when you get home." Gordo said somewhat hesitantly.

"Bye Gordo!" Lizzie said and hung up.

Stupid Gordon! He was thinking, Why couldn't you just tell her what you wanted to! That you're going to miss her like crazy, because she's the only girl for you. What was Miranda thinking when she encouraged her to meet new guys! Doesn't she know how I feel?

Lizzie finally packed all of the clothes she thought she'd need, plus all of her makeup and a magazine in her carry-on bag. She sat on her suitcase and hooked it so it would stay closed. She picked up her suitcase and dragged it down the hall and down the stairs. It practically knocked her over as it slipped out of her grip and fell down the last few stairs.

"Elizabeth McGuire! What do you have in here?" Her father asked rubbing his ankle where the corner of the suitcase had hit him.

"Oops, sorry dad, I didn't see you there!" Lizzie said "Do you think you could help me with this?"

"Sure, if I don't throw my back out trying to pick it up!" He told her.

Just then the doorbell rang and Lizzie walked over to answer it. She opened the door and Lanny was standing there with his suitcase.

"Hi Lanny, come in." Lizzie told him nicely, opening the door a little wider.

Lanny just nodded and stepped in as Matt ran down the stairs and started what sounded like a one-sided conversation with the silent boy.

"Weird kid." Sam said as he attempted to carry Lizzie's suitcase out to the car.

After stopping for more magazines, the McGuires and Lanny were on a plane on their way to the Bahamas. Lizzie's mom and dad were sitting in front of her, and Matt and Lanny were in front of them. Luckily, nobody had the seat next to Lizzie's, so she stretched out and slept the whole flight. Lizzie missed dinner and the movies, but she wasn't mad, plane food wasn't all that great and she hated scary movies.

"All passengers please fasten your seatbelts, close your tray tables and put your seat in the upright position." said a voice into Lizzie's headphones. She had fallen asleep to the classical station even though she didn't like that kind of music, it was soothing. Lizzie sat up groggily and checked her watch, she tried to change it to the Bahamas time but she forgot what the difference was.

The plane started its descent and after 20 minutes the wheels were meeting the ground which caused a little bit of bumping in the plane. Lizzie rubbed her eyes and checked her makeup in the mirror of her compact. Everyone always looks horrible after being on a plane so she took out her brush and tried to fix it a little bit.

Lizzie stood up and glanced at Matt two seats in front of her. The gel he wore in his hair had caused it all to stick up on one side. Lanny was giggling as he told Matt what his hair looked like. Matt only found it hilarious. Jo shook her head as Sam felt his hair to make sure it didn't look the same as Matt's. They all took down their bags from the overhead compartments and walked off of the plane. It was only the early evening when the arrived and as they walked down the stairs of the plane, Lizzie started humming "Island in the Sun". She felt like she was in that Mary- Kate and Ashley movie.
