Chapter 5
Gordo woke up from a short, unintentional nap later that afternoon, and found it to be almost 6 o'clock. He fixed himself a frozen pizza for dinner, then set up his laptop to log online. First he signed on AOL, then signed onto AIM. He had a different name on AIM, that none of his friends or family knew about, because Miranda and Lizzie had always liked to get on his screen names and talk to the people on his buddy list, and it had embarrassed him greatly sometimes.
Almost immediately, an instant message popped up from Lizzie.
LizzieMac06: Hey Gordo! DG Man2000: Whats up Lizzie? LizzieMac06: Nothin much... I'm done whining about Miranda tho... ugh its just... nevermind I know you're sick of hearing me talk about it (lol). DG Man2000: Just stop worrying. Okay? LizzieMac06: Alright... so, when are you going to come visit me in beautiful sunny Florida? DG Man2000: Name a time, I'll be there. I want to see this new place of yours. LizzieMac06: You wanna come visit in a couple weeks or so? DG Man2000: Wait a minute... I can't, not for at least another few months... I'm starting a new job, I forgot to tell you... I don't want to ask for a bunch of time off right away. LizzieMac06: Oh... okay.
Lizzie sighed and signed onto AIM, on a name that she had never told Miranda or Gordo about because, well... it contained a childhood nickname that she didn't particularly want them teasing her about. She wondered how they didn't know it anyway, but shrugged and typed in her password.
As soon as she logged on there, an instant message from one of her internet buddies popped up.
JRSplbrg: Hey there, princess!
Ah, it was him! She had been talking to him a lot over the past few months, and they had become good friends over the internet. He had invited her recently to come visit him up in New York, and she liked him an awful lot, so she had planned to go up there for a week before she started her new job. She would be starting in the fall of that year, and it was barely spring, so she had plenty of time.
PrincessLizard: Hey, JR. What's up? JRSplbrg: Nothing really... waiting for you to sign on. PrincessLizard: Aww, I feel special. JRSplbrg: And you are. PrincessLizard: So are you. So, you still want me to come visit you? JRSplbrg: Of course!
Lizzie remembered the other IM from Gordo, and clicked back to it for a minute.
DG Man2000: Lizzie, you alive? LizzieMac06: Oops... yeah, I'm here. Sorry, I had a message from someone else. DG Man2000: Gee, I don't love you either! lol Just kiddin! LizzieMac06: Oh, you know you do! :) Listen, Gordo... hang on a minute, okay? I gotta run and do something real quick, I'll be back in a few.
She clicked back to JR's instant message.
PrincessLizard: Well when's a good time? I've got time to take a trip up there sometime soon JRSplbrg: Whenever you want. Tomorrow's good! lol PrincessLizard: I could leave tomorrow, and be there in about 3 days... I've got a friend who lives up there, and I've learned by now that it's a 3 day drive. JRSplbrg: You could fly, you know. I'll pay for a plane ticket for you to come up here for a few days. You'd be able to stay and see the city more, and maybe visit your other friend, too. PrincessLizard: Oh, no... I couldn't do that. JRSplbrg: Come on... please? PrincessLizard: I'll pay for the plane ticket. JRSplbrg: Are you sure? PrincessLizard: Yep. When would you like me to come up? JRSplbrg: As soon as you can. Are there any flights leaving tonight? I've got this luncheon thing for my work tomorrow, and you could be my date! PrincessLizard: Alright... let me look up tickets, okay? BRB
Lizzie typed in a website so she could order a plane ticket, excited about this trip. It was definitely a spur of the moment thing, but she could meet JR finally, and probably go pay Gordo a surprise visit, too!
She found a reasonably priced ticket, that was on a flight that left in three hours... that would leave her two hours to get ready and get out the door. That would work. She ordered it right away, then ran to get in the shower and get ready to go.
