Ahhh. The week has gone by so fast, and no one expected it... Prom was tomorrow. Some girls were frantic, others were worried something would go wrong, but -Lizzie and Miranda- surprisingly kept their cool.
No one- not even their own families saw their dresses. All Gordo and Ethan saw was the color, so they can buy a nice corsage to match. Their moms' begged and pleaded to see them, but they just wouldn't budge. "You'll see them Saturday!" They would tell them, but they wanted to see them now...
"Please Lizzie, please?" Jo begged her daughter "Just one little peek?" She asked as Lizzie and Miranda, entered the house
"Mom" Lizzie began "You'll see it tomorrow night! Can't you wait one more night?"
"Yah Mrs. McGuire, you don't wanna spoil the surprise now, do you?" Miranda didn't even wait for an answer before she continued, "Besides, if you saw it now, it would suck out all the surprise and excitement when you see it tomorrow!"
Jo let out a sigh of defeat, "I guess you girls are right... its just- it IS you first prom and I would like to know that I helped you out a little."
"Well- uh- you could help me out." Lizzie said giving Miranda a mischievious grin
"Oh! With what?" Mrs. McGuire asked with excitement
"You COULD pay for my manicure and pedicure," Lizzie began, then switched to reverse psychology mode "but- that would be too much and I-"
"No, no!" Jo interjected "How much do you think you'll need? Here- here's 50 so you can get your eyebrows done too." She said getting a fifty out of her wallet
"Thanks, mom. Me and Miranda will be back in an hour or two... see ya later!" Lizzie said as her and Miranda made their way to her car
"Nice reverse psychology." Miranda said as she seated herself in the passenger side
"Thank you very much." Lizzie said with a smile "You didn't do so bad yourself.. you squeezed out a 50 from your mom too!"
"Yah well-" Miranda began "we're just THAT good."

A day at the spa was just what they needed. Their manicures and pedicures hit the spot. When they arrived home, all the could do was relax.
"That was by far the best experience in my life." Miranda said as she plopped onto Lizzie's bed
"Tell me about it." Lizzie said lying down nex to her "I have never felt more- relaxed."
"I know! And we got nice nails, toes, and eyesbrows out of it."
They just laid there for a while. Just resting and relaxing. The past two weeks have been stressful for them, but the managed to get through it a lot better than most girls at their school.
"You know Miranda," Lizzie began as she sat up "I'm glad you're back to normal."
"What are you talking about?" Miranda asked as she sat up too
"Well-" Lizzie was looking for a good way to say this "before you use to be so down, and you had this 'i hate the world' mentality and now- you're YOU again."
"I've always been me." Mirada said "Its just that- i had the that whole 'i hate the world' mentality because of my parents. But my friends helped me through that." She smiled
Lizzie paused for a while before she said anything. "You mean- GORDO helped you through that."
"Yah" Miranda said weakly "It's just that he was going through the same thing and it was KINDA easier for me to-"
"Miranda, it's ok. I don't care that you talked to Gordo about it. Truthfully- I'm kinda glad you did, because I wouldn't know what to say."
Lizzie and Miranda both smiled at eachother.
"But you did help me though." Miranda said
"I know." Lizzie replied, then with a smile, she continued "But Gordo helped you more."

hmm... i think it was too jumpy. i didnt really wanna go into detail with the 2nd shopping trip and buying the corsage's and butonnierre's (sp?) because it isnt that big of a deal, so yah...
i think the next chapter will actually show the link to their dresses, shoes, and hair AND you will finally see an ethan appearance (and probably some others too) so yay!
here's a PREVIEW for the next chapter: (very rare)
"It's getting hot!" Gordo yelled over the blaring music "You wanna go out onto the balcony?"
"Sure!" Miranda replied
Gordo took her hand and led her through the crowd, to the balcony. There weren't many people out- but their were some. The two made their way to the railing and just looked at the view. The city lights made the town of Hillridge illuminate to its' beauty.
But Miranda had something else on her mind besides the view...
"Gordo" Miranda finally said with uncertainty present in her voice "Uhm- there's something I kinda need to tell you. And I think this is the perfect time to do it."
"Go ahead- you can tell me anything Miranda." Gordo replied, as he turned to face her
"Ok" Miranda began "well, I've been keeping this locked inside for a long time and there's no better way then to just tell you. But I can't find myself doing that."
"It's ok, Miranda- I'm right here." Gordo said with care as he took hold of her hand
Miranda let out a deep sigh. 'It's now or never, Sanchez' She thought
