A/N: Hello all my enthralled fans. I'd like to inform you that this is my last chapter and Teresa, Lizzie, Gordo, Miranda, and all those other loveable characters will be moving up to tenth grade! Yay! Finally! I'm just getting a little bored with them being freshmen. A reason why I'm so bored with it because I, too, am moving up, and will no longer be at the bottom of the food chain. I'm boring you… so I'll stop blabbing and get on with the story.

"Can you believe it's almost the end of the school year?" Teresa grabbed her books from her locker.
"It seems like only yesterday you came into English asking whether it was worse to have no windows or painted on windows." Gordo slammed his locker and leaned against it, smiling at Teresa.
She laughed, "My gosh! Don't remind me! We've changed so much this year, it's unbelievable." The two headed for class. "Lizzie seems a whole lot more, confident then she was at the beginning of the year. And Miranda seems more sure of herself. And of course you have become more debonair then ever."
"Oh puhlease, I never was and never will be as suave as you portray me to be. But look at you! You've made new friends, and next year you're going to be an editor on the school newspaper." Teresa blushed, proud of the accomplishment, but she was one who wasn't used to the praise. "You might even get a lead in the school play, Mr. Digg loves you so much. Don't be shy to brag a little about your good deeds." He patted her on the shoulder and took his seat in class. They were in history and, being the last week of school, were watching some "educational" movies. Today they were watching the tail-end of Robin Hood, Men in Tights. Extremely enlightening no?
"Hey Lizzie," Teresa pulled something out of her bag, "Would sign my yearbook?"
"Sure," Lizzie grabbed a pen from Miranda's desk.
"Hey Liz, when you're done, pass it over here!" Gordo whispered to his friend before being quieted down by the teacher.
"You'll sign it after I get my hands on it." Miranda said, poking Gordo in the ribs.
Teresa laughed, "I didn't know I was so popular!"

Finally the sixth period bell rung, allowing Teresa to get some time to herself and read what everyone had written in her yearbook.
Lizzie: Hey Girlie! You are one FUNNY chick. And I don't mean it in a bad way. You were always there to brighten my day when I was feeling blue. And you always knew how to turn an awkward situation into one that is fun. It's been great getting to know you this year. I hope we continue to be friends as time goes on. Lizzie 555-6948
Miranda: Hola Chica! ¡Tu eres una muchacha muy comica! We've had so much fun together this year! You just keep the jokes a comin'! Do you ever stop laughing? Remember when we came up with reasons why the chicken crossed the road? That was great! Keep in touch over the summer! Miranda 555-9812
Ethan: Hey sexy thang! You're one pretty sweet gal! I'm glad I met you this year. I can still remember the time you babysat Lizzie's little bro and I helped you. Stay cool in this hot hot heat! Love, Ethan 555-8428
Kate: To tell you the truth, I was pretty jealous of you when you first got here. You had so much style and class. You were so nice, and everybody liked you. You were so popular. But you are pretty cool, and I've learned not to be so envious. See ya' next year! Kate
Larry: Hey, my LOTR buddy! I'm glad you came to Hillridge to help explain to these simpletons what a 5 speed pod-racer was. You're a pretty and nice girl. May the Force be with You! Larry
Gordo: Ugh! I hate signing yearbooks. I usually can't think of what to say! But with you, it's different. You are the most amiable person I have ever met. You always have a smile on your face, and a kind word just bursting out of your mouth. You always know how to cheer me up when I'm down. You have so many talents that I'm sure we'll discover over the next four years. I don't know how you can put up with Lizzie and Miranda's constant "girl talk" though I'm sure you get tired of my constant "boy gripes". Whenever you're with me, you don't go on about how Ethan is the hottest boy in school or how you can't wait to go to the latest bra sale. We always have something to talk about. I don't think I could have survived this year (or Lizzie and Miranda in general) if it hadn't been for you. Have a wonderful summer! Gordo 555-8694
Teresa smiled. Everyone had written something so personal and so sweet. Teresa sighed, next year was gonna be great in LIMBO LAND.
A/N: Yay! It's all over! Whohoo! Find out what the gang did over the summer in ISLAND FEVER. And stay tuned for Lizzie and the gang's adventures as Sophomores in… LIMBO LAND.
