Chapter 1: The Surprise Visitor

Lizzie McGuire was just finishing up her almost-perfect outfit as the doorbell rang. She ran downstairs in a hurry. Who could it be?

"I'll get it!!!!" Lizzie's 12-year-old (AUTHORS NOTE: Is that right? Is Matt 12 years old? I don't really follow the show....) brother, Matt, cried from his room. Fortunatly, Lizzie was already down the stairs.

She opened the door to find a girl around her age, maybe a few years younger. She had straight brown hair, big blue eyes, a perfect face, and the latest Abercrombie apparals.

"Is this the McGuire residence?" She asked in a perfectly polite voice.

"Uhh... Hey! Yeah. Hold on a sec, okay?" Lizzie mumbled. Her mom better be able to explain who this UWP (unidentified walking person) is...

**Who is this girl and why isn't she on goody-goody perfect planet?**

"Mom," Lizzie called from her kitchen. "There is a girl outside. Who the hell is it?"

"Oh my goodness, Lizzie. I totally forgot to tell you! Oh my, Okay Jo, calm down. Oh no! The house is a total pigpen!" Jo Mcguire ran across the room in panic.

"Mom, just tell me who the girl is!!!" Lizzie cried.

"Well, honey," Mrs. McGuire stated. "This may be a little on the late side to tell you this, but that is your cousin, Lisa McGuire. Her parents are overseas for business and they are looking for a house around here so I told them I would watch Lisa for a while. She is using the extra bedroom, the one next to you."

**A LITTLE on the late side??? What the hell is she thinking??? I guess this means I can have the sister I always wanted, but on the other hand, she looks like a brunette Kate mini-me. JUST GREAT!!!**
