Ok so I know I haven't updated this story in like 8 months but, I didn't really like where I was going and I didn't really want to update. But now I think I can make this story better. Sorry to anyone who wanted me to update sooner... I'll try to update a whole lot quicker now but I shouldn't really make any promises.
Anyway, I don't own any characters except for Mike and Natalie and anyone else you've never heard of.

"Gordo? Who's Gordo?" Mike asked with a confused look on his face.
"Uhh... well... you see he's an old friend from high school who I've sort of fell out of touch with." Lizzie said turning from Gordo and slouching so as not to be seen. It was the truth, she just decided to leave out the whole dating aspect of the story.
"Oh, what's so bad about that? Why do you look like you're hiding from him? Why don't you call him over here so you two can catch up?"
"Well, I don't think that would be..."
"Lizzie? Lizzie McGuire? Is that really you?" Lizzie turned to see who was speaking although she was pretty sure she knew and looked into the most gorgeous eyes she had ever seen. She'd never forgotten those eyes.
"Gordo!" Lizzie said completely changing her attitude from when she was hiding from him. "My god I haven't seen you in what, nine maybe ten years! How are you?"
"Well I'm doing fine. I'm working to start filming my very first motion picture in a couple months." Gordo answered.
"No way! I always knew you'd be something big. Why don't you sit down so we can catch up?" Lizzie motioned to an empty chair at their table. "Oh and this is Mike, he's my friend from New York." Mike looked at Lizzie wondering if she had meant to just call him a friend. He dismissed it thinking that she was probably just overwhelmed with seeing an old friend. The two men greeted one another and Mike decided to join in on the conversation.
"So, are you an actor Gordo?" Mike asked.
"No I'm actually a director. I'll take it Lizzie didn't tell you about me." Gordo said feeling a little hurt but not showing it.
"No she didn't actually." Mike answered.
"So, how's your life going? Any girlfriend? Wife? Three kids and a dog?" Lizzie chimed in deciding it was time to end their conversation.
"No actually. I had a girlfriend for about five years in and after college. We were going to get married but she thought I put my work before her and ran off with some model she met while photographing him, she's a photographer if you didn't catch that." Gordo said.
"Oh, I'm so sorry Gordo."
"Oh it's fine. I've had plenty of time to get over it. Besides, I've had worse breakups before, with people I'd loved more then I ever loved her and I'm still standing." With that no-so-subtle refrence to their relationship Lizzie figured she should end this little meeting before old feeling washed up.
"Well Mike and I have to go now. See you at the reunion?" Lizzie said as Mike got his wallet and paid for the food and drinks.
"Yeah, I'll be there. See ya Lizzie." Gordo said getting up.
"See ya Gordo." She got up and hugged Gordo. 'Wow, I almost forgot what this felt like' she thought as she held him. After a little longer then friendly hugs usually last, the two broke apart and Lizzie headed out the door with Mike.
"He seems nice, a little dramatic but mostly nice." Mike commented as the two walked bck to Lizzie's old house.
"Well he hangs around actors a lot, of corse he's dramatic." Lizzie said almost defensively.
"You have a point. So, what's on the itinerary for the rest of the day?" Mike asked.
"Well this afternoon we're just gonna catch up with my family and settle in and tonight we're all going to go see my best friend Miranda in Rent and then we're all going out to dinner." Lizzie said excitedly. She couldn't wait to see Miranda in action.
"Sounds fun." Mike said as they walked in the house.
"It will be." Lizzie assured him while she walked into the family room where her family was all seated and talking.
"Oh hello you two!" Jo McGuire said happily. "Would you like to join us and catch up?"
"We were planning on it." Lizzie said as she plopped herself down on the love seat and Mike sat next to her and grabbed her hand. Lizzie then noticed a woman of about 25 sitting next to Matt on the couch. She had long, wavy brown hair and big brown eyes. Lizzie couldn't help thinking she was gorgeous. "Oh you must be Natalie!" She exclaimed very excited to finally meet her.
"Yeah, hi, I know you're Lizzie. I've heard so much about you. Matt made you sound a lot scarier then you look." Natalie said playfully hitting Matt.
"You hould have seen her when she was around 14, she was evil." Matt said.
"Excuse me, everything I did was in self defense. You're the one who spied on me all the time." Lizzie said. She couldn't help thinking how good it felt to be fighting with her brother again, even if it was playfully. The group talked for a good two hours about everything from the past to the future. Afterward they all split up to get ready for the play. Lizzie was so excited she danced around her room like a girl when she was getting ready. This whole trip was turning out to be really fun. The only problem she could think of was Gordo. She knew she'd always love him but her life was going so well. Mike was so nice to her and she was really beginning to have a great fashion career but something always felt missing and that day when she was talking with Gordo she felt...well... whole again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll leave you on that corny note. Again, I'm really sorry for not updating in a REALLY long time. I forgot that this is pretty fun so I'll probably updat within the next day or two.
Review please! That's the real fun in this whole thing... I love reading reviews!
Anyway, I don't own any characters except for Mike and Natalie and anyone else you've never heard of.
