.. "Like, what am I going to wear?" Lizzie repeated anxiously. " You know what that means.Shopping!" It was a good thing for Lizzie and Miranda because it was Friday and they had the whole weekend to shop.till they dropped!

* That evening Miranda called Lizzie. "So, what are you going to wear on our big night? And thanks again for letting me and Gordo go together." Lizzie replied, "No, thank you! Now I get to go with the HOTTY, Yuri!!!Ahhhh!!!" " Your such a lucky butt! So shopping Saturday?" "Of course." Lizzie confirmed.

* Saturday morning Lizzie woke up to see her mom holding the board game Candy Land. Lizzie with a blank expression on her face said, "What?" "Don't you remember dear, today is our bonding day!" Her mom said enthusiastically. Lizzie had only one thing on her mind, shopping. So she answered, "Lets move our bonding day to next Saturday. Miranda and I have plans to get outfits for the dance." "Oh how fun I can drive you and we can have lunch and we can try on dresses and.." "MOM!" Interrupted Lizzie, " We can shop alone were not 3 years old!" Lizzie retorted. "I know that but, it's either shop with me or Candy land." She said brightly. "Fine, great I'll call Miranda and tell her that we will pick her up" Lizzie said with false enthusiasm, as she marched up the stairs.

* They entered a store called 'Dresses Co.' Where they saw Kate with her gang walking down the aisles. Lizzie casually walked across the room when her eye was caught by an untouched, glimmering dress. She rushed over and nearly knocked the rack over. The black materiel contrasted well with the bright red roses, the sequence glimmered smartly round the edges. " Miranda look at this dress! I want!" Her mom over heard this and rushed over. She immediately checked the prize." Lizzie," she said quietly so no one but Miranda and Lizzie heard. " There's no way that we can afford this!' Lizzie glanced at the price, which read, '$185.99' " But mom I'll pay you back, I need it I can already pay $100 of it and then I promise when you ask me to do chores I'll do them!" Lizzie said almost in tears. "I'll think about it over lunch lets go" Lizzie's mom replied.

* The lunch was quiet and the atmosphere was tense. Finally her mom broke the silence and said, "let's see how it fits you." Lizzie's spirits rose! It's a major step from no dress! She thought.

* When she walked in the store she saw Kate buying the dress of Lizzie's dreams. Lizzie's jaw dropped. Kate smirked as she strode out of the store.
