Lizzie just went back upstairs and waited for them to come back. When they did come back they all just pretended like nothing happened and finished helping Lizzie pack for the next morning. Pretty soon it was 11 p.m. and Gordo and Miranda had to leave so they could get their rest. They all hugged and Miranda promised Lizzie that she would come by in the morning before Lizzie had to leave so that they could have their final good-bye.

~*Morning*~

The Gordon's had already arrived at the McGuire's and Matt was already on his way to Colorado with Lanny. They were all loading their luggage into the Ford Excursion except for Lizzie who was still getting ready. After Gordo was all done loading his stuff, he decided to go check to see if Lizzie was ready yet.

GORDO'S POV

I knocked on Lizzie's door just in case she wasn't decent or something. She answered the door and I walk in to see 3 big luggage bags surrounding her.

"Geeze, Lizzie, we're gonna be able to wash clothes ya know. You Don't need all that. I didn't realize you packed all of that yesterday.," I informed her.

"Gordo, people notice if you wear the same outfits over again, you know.," she replied.

"So what? Its not like we're ever going to see any of those people there again anyway.," I told her.

"You never know, Gordo.," She said.

"Whatever. Do you need help with your bags?," I asked her.

"Yeah, thanks."

"You better hope that the airlines let you have all of those bags on the plane."

"I know"

Then I tried to take one of the bags and it was so heavy that I fell over, right on top of Lizzie.

NOBODY'S POV

"AHHH!!!," they both screamed in unison, as they fell to the floor, Gordo on top of Lizzie.

After several moments of changing emotions toward one another, Lizzie finally managed to say something.

"Gordo, um…we better get going before our parents think something is going on."

"Oh…uh…yeah. Let's go."

With that I got up and took all of Lizzie's luggage downstairs with a lot more caution than they had in Lizzie's room.

Then Miranda came and helped them load her luggage and then after that they hugged each other to say their final good-bye.

'Girls are such crybabies. I am so glad I'm a guy. I couldn't stand putting up with all of that.,' Gordo thought and then softly laughed.

Anyway, there were a lot of tears involved in their good-bye. Even Gordo got a little teary eyed when it was his turn to hug and say good-bye to Miranda.

'So much for being a guy!.,' Gordo thought to himself.

He tried not to show it though because he knew that they would make fun of him and he'd never hear the end of it. It was just that they hadn't been away from each other this long before ever since they met.

After all of the good-byes were through, they all piled up into the van and were on the way to the airport. Their flight had gotten slightly delayed because of some storms that were in the path of the flight. The pilot just wanted to make sure they were going to be ok. Mr. & Mrs. McGuire, and Mr.& Mrs. Gordon all went to get some magazines and such for the long, 13 hour flight there. Since the airport was so big, they had a lot of different stores (A/N: kind of like the Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, if you ever been there.) which is what Lizzie talked Gordo into doing, going into all of the stores.

Both groups of people had a two-way radio so they called each other and decided to meet each other at the McDonalds in seven minutes. Since they had seven minutes and they had already gone into all of the stores that they were interested in, they decided to go get some ice cream at the TCBY.

LIZZIE'S POV

We walked to the TCBY and ordered what we wanted. Gordo got a Butter Pecan and I just got a plain Vanilla cone. We were eating our ice cream really slowly until I looked down at my watch and realized we only had three minutes left. We had to hurry and finish our ice cream and get to the McDonald's!

"Gordo! We only have three minutes left!," I told Gordo.

"What!?," he replied.

"We have to get going. Hurry up and finish your ice cream.," I said.

So after that we practically chowed down on the ice cream so that we would get there on time. When we were done we looked at each other and started laughing uncontrollably after seeing each others faces with ice cream splattered all over them.

After the laughter died down and they were both back to their regular selves, we looked at each other and held the gaze for quite awhile, not awkwardly, but more knowingly, and lovingly. I reached over to wipe some of the ice cream off the sides of his lips. I don't know who started leaning first but we got closer and closer……

(A/N: haha cliffy! Yeah, anyway.. I only have like what, 4 reviews? COME ON people! Is it really that bad? Well, if it is then you can at least review and give me some advice on how to make it better. Besides, this is my first story, so im willing to take anything.)
