A/N: I like this, none of you really know what's going to happen. Well, the only one is starcraze because she partly gave me the idea, and she's the only one who's heard it all.

Reviews:

Adam4me: Good to hear you're enjoying the story.

TheRealXenocide: The identity will be revealed. I'm actually going to change the genre, it started out more angsty, then it sort of changed. Just wait, apathy678 is officially revealed this chapter. By the way, I love love love No Time To Waste

Mandy: In Lizzie's mind only one guy likes her like that, so who else could it be?

Chapter 12: Truly, Madly, Deeply

"I mean, I just never knew the two of you ever had anything romantic going on," Lizzie finally said.

"Honestly, no one really did. The summer everyone went to Rome, I came back from Mexico while you guys were still gone and we just hung out a lot and got really close," Miranda admitted.

"This is just, wow. Are you going to pursue anything?"

"I think so. I want to."

Lizzie hugged her friend, "Miranda that is so great."

"I didn't expect you to be so happy about us."

"It's different, but if it's what you want, of course I'm happy."

"Thanks. What do you think Gordo will say when he finds out that I'm engaging in a relationship with Larry Tudgeman?" Miranda inquired.

"I don't know. We'll just have to see. He'll probably be happy for you."

"Yeah. So you and Scott? Back together?" Miranda replied, changing the subject.

"Well, tonight was sort of spur of the moment, but I had a lot of fun. He asked me to think about going official again. I'm thinking of saying yes because of this CD he slipped under my door," Lizzie confessed as she passed the CD over to Miranda.

Miranda read the little note and was curious, "May I?" she asked motioning towards Lizzie's computer.

"Go ahead." Lizzie said beaming.

Miranda inserted the disk and listened to the two songs, "I'll Keep Waiting" and "Natural" 'OK, there is no way that this was Scott. I don't even think he knows anything about S Club 7 other than Lizzie's likes them and they're foreign. It's got to be Gordo. But there's no way I can tell Lizzie until I talk to Gordo about this.' Instead of revealing her reservations, she simply said, "Wow. I guess he's sorry he let you go."

"I know," Lizzie answered dreamily.

Miranda glanced at her watch, "Liz, as much as I loved this little revealing session we had here, I gotta go."

"Yeah, my parents should be home soon anyways. Call me tomorrow and we'll get together."

"You know it," She replied as she exited Lizzie's house. 'How do I bring this up to Gordo?'

"Crap, it's too late to call Scott, I'll just have to tell him tomorrow morning," Lizzie said aloud.

*******The Next Morning*******

Lizzie awoke the next day at 10:00 feeling refreshed. She went about her normal Saturday routine and at 11:00 picked up the phone to call Scott. Alas, he was already at work. 'I'll just have to wait.' Lizzie went to the couch and started watching some bad cartoons. 'TV is not the same as it used to be. I need some good shows like Boy Meets World to come back.'

"LIZZIE! Gordo and Miranda called," Jo McGuire called out to her.

"What? The phone didn't ring."

"Call waiting, sweetheart."

"Right. I'm gonna go call them back." Lizzie said as she cascaded up the steps to her room. She reached her phone and dialed Miranda's number.

"Hello?" Miranda said into the phone.

"Hey, Miranda. It's Liz. What's up?"

"Gordo and I were wondering if you wanted to go see a movie or something."

"Yeah, I'm up for a movie, but what movie. Not much is out at the moment."

"Well, we haven't seen Old School yet," Miranda suggested. (A/N: Remember they are now juniors in high school, R-rated movies are okay.)

"True. Sounds good to me."

"All right. I'm gonna three-way to Gordo. Hold on," Miranda said as she clicked over.

Lizzie waited while Miranda got a hold of Gordo. A few minutes later, the two were on line with Lizzie, mapping out their plans for the day. They decided that Gordo would drive and then they would go to the show that was an hour away from starting. Lizzie was the first to hang up, that left Miranda open to talk with Gordo.

"Gordo, can you stay on for a while, there are a few things I want to talk to you about."

"Good or bad?" Gordo asked,

"Both, I think. First, what would you say if I started seeing Larry Tudgeman?" Miranda nervously asked.

"Really? That's the guy you like? Wow. That'd be fine."

"Yup, he's the big secret crush. Secondly, this CD."

'Oh, crap.' Gordo thought and gulped, "Yeah?"

"You're going to have to tell her."

"Tell her what?" Gordo was lost.

"That you made it for her."

"Who does she think made it?"

"Scott." Gordo's heart sank. He felt like crying.

"I knew I lost my chance again, I should've told her sooner."

"Hey! Gordo you still have a chance, I don't think she's talk to Scott about it."

"Yeah, right. She probably hasn't talked to him because he'd be lost, but there's no chance for me."

"Will you just open your eyes? She wants you. Deal with it. I'm gonna go get ready, but you think of a way to tell her." Miranda said before hanging up.

A/N: It's Larry! For those that wanted Scott, I didn't want him to be playerish. If it was him, Miranda and Lizzie both would have been fooled by him. For those that wanted Matt, sorry, I may like No Time To Waste (a Matt/Miranda story), but I just think at this age, their maturity levels and everything is to great of a difference. As for Larry, he's the only other suitable guy because I do not like Ethan, he's too stupid. Also, if Larry is in the upcoming movie, which I'm pretty sure that he is, oh well, now he isn't. Oh, and I was wondering has anyone read or seen the book out for the movie? I was thinking of getting it, I heard there was one out and since I won't be going to the theater to see the movie, I'd like to read it.
