In no time Ren and the girls arrived at Karen's house. It was very pretty.
Just as she had remembered, except for the tire swing her and Alan had put
up many years before. Ren, Miranda and Lizzie all jumped from the car. Ren
popped the trunk and each girl had a bag of some kind in their hands, as an
ecstatic Uncle Rob greeted them.
Uncle Rob looked different from last time Lizzie had seen him. Last time Rob had blonde hair, much like Alan's, and it was short. This time, his hair was longer and was put back into a tight blonde ponytail. "Lizzie! My God, you have grown so much! You look great!" Lizzie smiled and hugged her uncle around the neck. "Uncle Rob, I missed you and Aunt Karen so much!" with that she hugged him a little bit tighter. After letting go, Lizzie turned to Miranda and said, "Rob, this is my best friend in the world-" But he cut her off. "Lets see you can't be David. You are much prettier than that picture Lizzie sent me. You must be Miranda." Miranda and Lizzie laughed. Miranda laughed because she was flattered, and Lizzie laughed because earlier that year she had dated David Gordon.
"Well come on in. It's much to hot out here. Ren would you like to come in?" asked Rob. "Oh no thanks Mr. Rob, I've got to go home. It's my turn to prepare dinner." Replied Ren. "Well, you make sure that Alan brings me back some tako!" "Sure thing!" At that, Ren got in her car and drove not but three houses away.
"MMM tacos!" Miranda yelled. Rob started to laugh. "What?" Miranda said. Rob proceeded to laugh. "I don't think your going to like this tako." Miranda looked confused. "Miranda," said Rob "T-A-K-O. Tako." Miranda still looked confused. "Tako is a type of sushi." Miranda gave a look of relief. "Sushi! I could go for some California rolls! What is Tako?" Rob smiled and simply said "Octopus" when he was ushering them through the door.
After Miranda's face stopped twisting in disgust Rob told showed them where they were to sleep. They were to sleep in the room across the hall from Alan. "Alan is at Ren's house now. He wont be home until later. He said if you wanted to play his X-box you could go upstairs in his room. Girls I'm ordering pizza. I'm assuming no anchovies." Both girls snickered again and Lizzie said, "Cheese, please" as they started to climb the stairs.
They entered Alan's room silently, frankly scared to see what they would see, and hoping that his room was as clean as David's. To their surprise it wasn't as dirty as they suspected. Lizzie started to turn on the game while Miranda was standing in the middle of the room.
"Lizzie this is crazy. This room is awesome." Miranda said while looking around. Miranda spotted a picture frame and picked it up. It was a picture of Lizzie's cousin Alan and a boy who had short spiky black hair. He had a goofy smile. He had an arm around Alan and a girl who was pale and had long black hair.
Lizzie had begun to play a game when Miranda shoved the picture in Lizzie's face and said, " I guess she knows how Gordo feels." But Lizzie wasn't looking at the girl. Her eyes were fixed on this raven-haired beauty with the crazy grin on his face. Lizzie ripped the frame from Miranda's hands. Lizzie caught herself staring at this beautiful stranger, and shook her head, to bring herself back to reality.
"Yea I bet she does." Lizzie said nonchalantly as she moved her eyes back to the screen. Miranda put the picture back in its place and sat on the floor next to Lizzie. Soon they were battling aliens and finding treasures, and before they knew it, it was ten o'clock. Alan knew that his cousin was in his room playing the system with her friend. He could see the light from the television. Alan had brought his friend Louis over. They were going to get up early and look for jobs.
Alan opened the door to his room and noticed that the television was on and his cousin and her friend were sprawled out on his floor sleeping. Alan, being a good cousin, walked into their room and put some comforters on their beds just in case they needed it, not like they would, but you'd never know.
While Alan was in the next room, Louis casually walked into Alan's room thinking it was him watching television. "Hey man, this stuffs good. I haven't had any good-" He turned into Alan's room and saw the two girl sleeping undisturbed. Louis noticed one girl had black hair, much like Tawny's, and the other girl had blonde hair. Louis liked black hair, but loved blonde. Louis figured that the blonde was "Twitty's" cousin. Louis turned on a light.
Lizzie was awoken from the light. She pushed herself up from the ground and turned around. She thought she was dreaming when she saw this guy that she had just seen in the picture. She smiled sweetly and rubbed her eyes to make sure he wasn't a mirage. He wasn't.
When Lizzie sat up from her slumber, Louis noticed how beautiful she was. He smiled as Lizzie said "Hey." Louis lost all control of his mouth and mouthed "Hi." Lizzie smiled and said, "I'm Alan's cousin Lizzie. My friend here is Miranda. We'll be out of your way in a second." Lizzie nudged Miranda but she didn't wake.
"I'm Louis. I'm Twitty's friend." Said Louis shyly. Lizzie laughed at the similarity of calling their friends by their last name. "So does Al-Twitty call you by your last name?" Louis said, "No, he calls me Lou, Louis, Lou- Dawg." Lizzie laughed. She thought, he's cute AND funny. "I better get her up." With that, Lizzie poked Miranda a little harder when Alan came in.
"I'm up, I'm up!" Said Miranda sleepily. Miranda walked right past both Alan and Louis, and right into their guestroom. Lizzie gave Alan a kiss on the cheek and a big hug. As Lizzie was leaving the room she said, "Goodnight Alan!" Louis was still standing in the doorway. She quietly said to Louis, "Nice to meet you. Good night Lou" As she was leaving, she smiled at Louis and winked at him.
Softly Louis said to him self "No, it's a wonderful night for Lou."
Uncle Rob looked different from last time Lizzie had seen him. Last time Rob had blonde hair, much like Alan's, and it was short. This time, his hair was longer and was put back into a tight blonde ponytail. "Lizzie! My God, you have grown so much! You look great!" Lizzie smiled and hugged her uncle around the neck.
