Chapter Nine: The Way Things are Supposed to Be
Elizabeth sat down in a chair, David in the chair beside her. He was holding her hand. He was so happy.
Elizabeth was happy, too, but something was crossing her mind. Gordo asked him to marry her the second she told him she wasn't married to Jeu anymore. He hadn't even asked for an explanation to her statement, which was weird for practical, over-analyzing Gordo. But she loved him either way, and she knew that now.
"Lizzie," Gordo whispered in her ear. "I hope my question didn't shock you. It's just that, well, I've been waiting to ask you for a long time. I always knew you were the one for me. Ever since that Ronnie guy cam around-"
"You mean me?"
Elizabeth and David looked up. There was Ronnie Jacobs with Miranda at his side. Elizabeth was shocked at the sight of this.
"Miranda! You're married to RONNIE?" Elizabeth just couldn't wrap her mind around that fact.
Miranda slightly smiled. "Lizzie, I'm sorry about what I said at the mall yesterday. I shouldn't have been so rude."
Elizabeth smiled. She squeezed David's hand and looked into his eyes. "Yea, but I needed to hear it. I love him, too." David leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. Then he added, "You've always been correct in your notions, Miranda."
Miranda smiled and turned to Ronnie. "Could you excuse us hun? Maybe you should call Tammy and see how or little Rosa is doing." She turned to her friends. "Rosa's our one-year-old."
Ronnie kissed his wife on the cheek, said, "I'll be right back sweetness," and headed towards the DJ with his cell phone.
Miranda took her seat next to Elizabeth. She smiled. "You guys make the most adorable couple." She looked down. "And you always have." Her smile sank.
Elizabeth became concerned. "Are you okay Miranda?"
Miranda looked up, tears starting to form in her eyes. "It's just that when high school started, you guys were really different. You came back from Rome and I came back from Mexico, and things had changed. You two starting dating, Kate was acting friendly towards us again, and Lizzie was a popstar. I felt like I had missed something totally important."
David leaned over and put a reassuring hand on her shoulder. Elizabeth said, "Oh my gosh Miranda! I never realized we hurt you." Then she laughed. "Remember that time when Miss Ungermeyer accidentally locked us in the library and we missed, like, six classes." She looked around at her friends' confused glances. "We looked at old yearbooks and spent the whole time singing my songs and calling Isabella over in Fiji." David and Miranda were still confused. "We had a great time!" Elizabeth summed up.
David rubbed Elizabeth's shoulder. "It was fun, wasn't it?"
"Until Miss Ungermeyer got us unlocked and practically threw us out of school for not calling the main office to tell us where we were," Miranda added with a laugh. She looked at her best friends carefully. "I had the time of my life."
Suddenly of familiar piano tune drifted into the night air, wrapping around the three of them like wire. Elizabeth smiled and squeezed David's hand again as she heard, "*Have you ever seen such a beautiful night?*"
David stood and held out his hand to Elizabeth. "Care to dance beautiful?" His smile was strong.
"*I could almost kiss the stars for shining so bright.*"
Elizabeth stood up, taking his hand, staring deep into his eyes. "I would love to."
"*When I see you smiling I go, 'Oh, oh, oh.'*"
The two began to dance slowly. It reminded them of the first time they danced when Ethan had turned her down. Elizabeth peered over at him. He was dancing with Lucy, Erin, and Kate all at the same time. It looked so sweet.
"*I would never want to miss this.*"
David kissed her cheek. She blushed hopelessly.
"*In my heart, I know what this is.*"
Elizabeth smiled at the man of her dreams. She began to sing.
"*This is what dreams are made of.*"
Miranda began to dance with Ronnie. She looked over happily at her two best friends, glad that they had reconciled and were dancing.
"*This is what dreams are made of.*"
Everyone stopped and stared at Elizabeth and David. They were BOTH singing now. David was Paolo and she was Isabella.
"*I've got somewhere I belong. I've got somebody to love.*"
Miranda watched Elizabeth and David dance close, seeing Lizzie McGuire and Gordo again for the first time in a long time.
"*This is what dreams are made of.*"
Everyone stood and watched them dance. It then became 100% clear to everyone, including Lizzie and Gordo that this was the way things were supposed to be.
Hey everyone!!! I really like this chapter, don't you? I just got back from seeing the Lizzie McGuire Movie for the second time. I'm still a little disappointed with the ending, but it was better the second time for some reason, like I paid more attention to it or something. I totally listen to "What Dreams are Made Of" like every second of the day, so I memorized all the words to that and "Why Not" and other stuff and the movie soundtrack.
Anyway, keep the reviews coming. I have only one more chapter after this. =( But the last one will be really cool . . . and surprising. Hehehe. I'm so evil.
Keep it Devilly (oops!) I mean "Heavenly,"
