A/N: Oh, goodness. So many newbies...so many people to thank..so many
things to say..
Caley: You rock monkeys, Dudette. Serious monkeys. I shall pick a very nice color for you, of course. I hope Miranda ends up with Gordo too..I'm scaring myself with the Lizzie-ness. Parker's appearances are EXTREMELY unique; I'm not quite sure why they are there but OH WELL. Glad you like it, and I'll update ASAP. Thanks!
Jennavette: I'm glad you find it intriguing. I know what you mean about the stupid spacing; I've tired my best (believe me, it was A LOT worse before when it was all one long run-on) to change it, but it refuses because of fan fiction. I'm trying something new in this one though, so thanks for pointing it out. I do like to heard my readers opinions, even if I don't like them sometimes lol. Thanks bunches!
Joe: I love that. "you got more twists than the California coast line." Smart dude there. Glad you find it "classic" (I think), and glad to see you are still reading.
Nahima Tala: No big deal, my amiga. No worries. I LOVE your bio now; you rock monkeys. As a member of the Shoe Sisterhood, you have MANY duties to fulfill. Like....um, getting that bucket....and..bringing it here. Yes, THAT'S it, by Joe. Wow-like. Corn flakes...you crazy boot! I HAVE A BODYGUARD. BWA HA. You kick ass, Groovy Purple Boot. You do that. Thank you MUCHO!!!
Jay: Dude...you're COOL. ::points at Jay:: THIS...is an example of a good reviewer. Short, true, but that's okay! Sweet and simple. Unlike my story. Look! Another chapter! Let's run to it!
KarasumaFirestorm: DID I ever get to thank you? My memory is going..my secret reviewer...oh, god, I AM losing my memory. Well, anyway, yes, thank you! Parker, voice-of-reason..BWA HA. It is quite possible (the homosexual thing). You never know about those Disney shows. Update soon I will, and just did. Props back (can't use slang without sounding like a dork)!
See the light: Miranda, unsympathetic...yes, I see your point. My grammar issues...okay, sorry, I know it is annoying when people say this, but you spelled grammar wrong. One thing grammar and I have in a relationship is the spelling. Yes, everyone does it, so don't worry about it. Anyway, moving on, editing is my issue, of course. I THINK I said that, but with my bad memory, what are you going to do. If you guys don't understand what I say at all, please feel free to tell me and get me to correct it. Writing curse. And about the spacing...that's actually what I do; fan fiction just screws that up for some dumb reason. All the spacing does it make sure each paragraph isn't a huge run-on for me. Like I said, I'll try to separate the author notes and the story more evenly, but there's not much I can do about the regular spacing, sorry. I'm glad you like the story despite it anyway! Thanks a bunch for the advice and the compliments. To you, see the light! Kisses!
Almost-never: THANKS!!!!! Updating as fast as I can! I am SO determined to finish this. ::sobs:: its so close to ending!
Brooke: I get what your saying. I actually write more original fiction than fan fiction; this is just a inspiration-overload type thing. I've never written something based on a Disney show so constantly before lol. The Degrassi thing is a good idea, I just never thought about it. I just thought it would be fun (in a sick kind of way) to write Lizzie McGuire like it was actually like real life, and if solutions weren't made in half an hour. You can see my original stuff on www.fictionpress.net under Rosaline Heartt, if you really want to read it. I'm glad you like it so far though! Thanks a bunch.
Elfin1: Heh, Heh, Heh. We meet again. I'm going to have to start counting reviews (please tell me if you think I missed your fifth review, people). Fruit loops are always dancing on MY head, I know. Glad Gordo actually sounds like himself. Gordo sounding like a Lizzie..::shudders:: WOW. Kisses, Charlotte.
PinkPrincess: I know what you would do! Eat paper. ::blink:: Oh, wait, that's what I would do. WELCOME TO OUR SISTERHOOD. Hey, has anyone else noticed you don't talk to your other sisters? Just curious. Got to love Gordo and his analysis skills!!!!! WOO HOO. Kisses, Joanna, and Thanks bunches!!!

My mother once said being awkward just shows someone you care how they feel. You don't want to come on too strong, or be a push over. I say it is just cheap worry.
"The lion cubs tear apart the third in an angry fight," I cringed as the narrator said this properly. "Victory is endless." God, I hated those science videos. Graphic and uncomfortable...like porn, but really, REALLY boring.
"It is now time for our once cub, now fierce lion, to pick a mate." Oh, God. I felt Gordo and Lizzie shift uncomfortably next to me. They barely spoke to each other; barely met each other's eyes. The video suddenly became a lot more interesting to the viewers around me. Oh, God.
I could feel the room become very heated as the three of us nervously looked elsewhere, finding the references to our own lives in the animal kingdom.
"The kingdom cannot survive without this process; without both men and women, there would be nothing but a barren waste land," The narrator said slowly, emphasizing each word. The horrors of science class.
~@~
"Guys," I addressed Lizzie and Gordo at the Digital Bean. "Do you think anything will ever be the same?"
"People change," Gordo said wisely. "Things change. You can't help it. You can't step in the same river twice."
"I wish that wasn't true," Lizzie said, staring down at her scarred hands. "I feel like we changed by mistake."
"I think we were sort of, you know, destined," I said suddenly. "Like, we're supposed to make all these stupid mistakes so we learn something..."
"Live, learn, and love," Gordo replied.
"Exactly," Lizzie whispered. We sat in silence, watching the people around us laugh and chatter idly.
"Well, I'm outtie," I stood up, pulling on my denim jacket. "Are you guys coming?" They looked at each other.
"Lizzie and I have to talk for a second. You go on," Gordo smiled.
"Okay," I shrugged, hiding my suspicions. "See you guys soon?"
"Sure."
"Of course." And I was gone, leaving them to share a moment I would never know. Jealously is bittersweet.
I trudged along the sidewalk, not really wanting to go anywhere.
"What's going on, Sanchez?," I wasn't surprised to hear Parker's voice. She linked arms with me instantly, catching me off guard.
"Oh. Nothing much," I lied.
"Bullshit," She said calmly. "There's always SOMETHING going on in the fabulous life of Miranda Sanchez. Come now. What are you hiding?"
"You're in a good mood," I eyed her mile wide smile. "Why don't you tell me what's going on for once?"
"Me? Yeah, right. Interesting things happening to me. Heh!," She still grinned.
"Tell me, or I'll push you in the street."
"Fine. I met a guy. Well, I knew him from before, but I met his other side! The one I like. And he asked me out. And I said yes. And I'm excited!" I had never seen Parker so..giddy. So out of character. So...weird.
"Who is he?"
"Larry Tudgeman." And so the surprise train keeps rolling. It's about time he got in on the action.
Someone once told me the world won't stop turning for one mistake. And I guess that's true, in a way. Things that are so important to you aren't nearly as important to other people.
But standing there, listening to Parker, all I could think about was Gordo and Lizzie, knowing the world would stop turning if I could never kiss him again.
A/N: Short chapter, of course. What did you expect? Oh, well. I'm taking this story to an end ::sob:: but we still have about two chapters to go. We have unsettled stuff to deal with. It also happens to be a bad chapter, so flame away!
