"...Gordo, I-"

"Miranda, there you are!" A familiar voice interrupted, "We've been looking all over for you!"

Miranda just closed her eyes in disappointment. The one time she had the courage to tell Gordo the truth, she was interrupted... by her BEST FRIEND, none-the-less. Well, Lizzie didn't mean to interrupt her. She just had- band timing. REAL bad timing.

"Well, I've been here, just talking to Gordo." She stated, turning around to face Lizzie (with Ethan by her side), "We just needed some air."

"I know! It got just a little to hot in there." Lizzie said happily, as she walked towards the two, "So what were you two talking about?"

"Nothing!" Miranda replied hastily, while Lizzie and Ethan gave her a weird look

"Well, she was gonna tell me something, but you two so rudely interrupted us!" Gordo said in a joking matter

"Hey man, I can see when we're not wanted." Ethan said, also joking

"I know, I know... my two best friends don't want to be my friends anymore! How will I ever live?" Lizzie replied, also playing along. The four all shared a little laugh until Lizzie interrupted, "Well, me and Ethan will let you get back to whatever you were alking about. Just look for us inside when your done, ok?"

Miranda nodded, as Lizzie and Ethan entered the ballroom.

"So- you were saying?" Gordo asked, once they were gone

But Miranda couldn't tell Gordo anymore. The mood was gone.

She gave him a half smile. "I really don't know where I would be if it weren't for you. I mean, you've been there for me for most of my life, but- but this was different. You actually knew what I was going through and you helped me get through it. I just wanted to say thank you."

"Miranda- you don't have to say thank you. As corny as this may sound: that's what friends are for. I wanted to help you because you needed and wanted me to help you. I mean, if anyone needs to thank anyone, I should thank you. You saw me at my worst when I was at your house and you still knew how to get through to me."

"I've seen worse of you, Gordo." Miranda said with a slight laugh

"I know." Gordo replied

And there they were. They just stood there, staring at each other. Neither one not knowing what to say. But what they didn't know was that their own eyes were doing the talking for them. Miranda's were saying, "I love you Gordo. I can honestly say I do... but I don't know how to tell you" while Gordo's were saying, "Miranda, I think I'm falling for you."

-+- back in the ballroom -+-

Lizzie and Ethan were standing at the window that overlooked the balcony. Lizzie staring intently and Miranda and Gordo and Ethan looking very confused.

"Lizzie, why do you keep looking at Gordo and Miranda?" Ethan asked "They're just talking."

"I know." Lizzie replied, "But I think we may have interrupted the most important conversation Miranda has ever wanted to have with Gordo."

"What are you talking about?"

"N-nothing. Its just- nothing. Nevermind, forget I said anything, ok?" Ethan nodded, "Wanna dance?" Lizzie asked, hoping that he'd truly forget about their conversation

"Yah, sure." He replied

-+- back at the balcony -+-

"Uh.. y-you wanna go back inside?" Miranda asked, breaking the silent and unknown conversation

"Sure." Gordo replied, as he intertwined his had with hers

At that moment Miranda knew with her whole being that Gordo was the one for her. She couldn't imagine anyone more perfect than Gordo... maybe because there WASN'T anyone more perfect thank Gordo.
