Chapter 42: Freaky
Gordo POV
Isabella and I carefully snuck backstage, where we saw Lizzie, pacing back and forth. The moment she saw us, she screamed.
"You-you're me!" She exclaimed.
We walked closer.
"Oh, my gosh! You're that girl..." She trailed off.

Lizzie POV
I didn't know how to finish that sentence. 'you're that girl who was making out with Gordo' sounded kind of wrong.
Then it suddenly hit me.
Animated Lizzie: It-it couldn't be!
"YOU'RE ISABELLA!!!"
Isabella cocked her head. "And you are Lizzie, I'm guessing. David has told me all about you."
Animated Lizzie: He *has*?
There was a long pause between us three as I started at Isabella, and she stared back.
"Freaky, huh?" Gordo asked.
I was stunned. "Way freaky." I admitted.
"Way, way freaky." Isabella added in her Italian accent.
It was so weird. First, I see Gordo kissing some random girl at the train station. Why was he kissing her when he was supposed to be meeting with me? Then I see my mom screaming with the security guards. I mean, how did she find out about me? How did she get here? And *then*, Isabella shows up from nowhere. Then I find out that *she* was the one Gordo was kissing. I mean, what was up with that? Did Gordo know her from before?
There was only one word to describe that day.
Freaky.
After some planning, we decided that I could do the first song, What Dreams Are Made Of, and Isabella could sing the rest. Then we only had one more thing to do...
"Oh, Pao-lo!" I called in a singsong voice.
He came running to me. "What-"He started. His jaw dropped about ten feet.
"Isabella?" He asked.
She nodded.
"You-you're here! Where were you? You almost got us sued until Lizzie here showed up and took your place." Paolo still looked amazed.
"I'm so sorry, Paolo." She said.
"It's okay." Paolo's eyes filled up with tears.
"It's so beautiful." Gordo joked, whispering into my ear.
I giggled. "I know, isn't it?"
Paolo took Isabella's hand as she explained our agreement. "But I have to hide out until Lizzie does her first song. Then we'll switch." She said.
Paolo nodded. "I missed you, Isabella." He said, looking deeply into her eyes.
"I missed you, too."
"Uh, we'll be going now."
I looked puzzled. "We will?"
Gordo looked at me with a knowing look.
Animated Lizzie: Uh, no duh.
"Oh, yeah, we will." Gordo and I walked to another part of the backstage, leaving Paolo and Isabella to make up in private.
I decided this was my chance to ask him about kissing Isabella. "Uh... Gordo?" I asked.
"Yeah?"
"Well... I-uh, um..."
A/N: I love cliffies!
