A/N: Hey all, what's going on? Nada here. Sorry I haven't updated in a while. See, I am saving my story on a disk and one I was trying to do another chapter, it wouldn't let me so I became real pissed and it took me a long time to fix it. But, I finally got that fixed so enjoy! Disclaimer: Nope, last time I checked I own only my thoughts. Lizzie unfortunately belongs to Disney for a little bit longer.

Chapter 17 The vacation was finally over. The trio had gone back to Colorado. Ethan had taken the news on the baby very well. It was like a silence-little smile-glimmer in eyes-big smile-jumping up and down-and then a big hug for Lizzie type thing. She was almost afraid that Ethan had crushed the baby. Gordo seemed a little jealous at first but he then realized that he shouldn't be because he has one of the most beautiful girls. It ended up that Ethan had quickly found a job in Colorado Springs at Intel. He moved in with Lizzie so he could support her. Miranda went back to her job in the Army, and Gordo was going to college for a Master's Degree. Lizzie decided to stay home because Ethan's job covered both of them. Gordo had a day off from college and was wondering what Miranda was doing. Miranda just so happened to be fixing a tank.

"Hey, we all missed you Randy!" said Guerro, one of her 'comrades' "It seemed that without you, Colonel Smith was having a heart attack, man."

She smiled. One thing Miranda liked about Guerro was his Mexican accent.

"He was all like 'My god, do you all not know how to turn a damned screw? Where the hell is Sanchez when I need her?!'"

"It's good to know that I was missed."

"Hey, cholita, what's with the ring on your finger?"

"Oh, do you remember Gordo?"

"The one that most people like us would think is fat but is really buff and you really like?"

"Um…yeah, that one."

"Hey, I never forget that vato!"

"Yeah, well, he proposed to me."

"Aye, look at Mrs. Gordito!"

"Eh, shut up huh Holmes?" she said trying to imitate his accent.

"What ever you say Sanchez oops I mean Gordito."

"Aye, chingao, shut up!"

"Que? I'm just havin' some fun up in here."

"Ok, what are we supposed to be fixing today?"

"This one, the little sucker is as stubborn as an ass."

"We'll see if it's still stubborn when I'm through with it."

The two worked for a while. Since Miranda was real into her job, she always comes home somewhat dirty like with grease and major cuts. Guerro was standing by the toolbox next to the entrance when suddenly Gordo walked in.

"Can I help you?" asked Guerro.

"Um, I'm looking for Miranda Sanchez."

"Ok, let me go get her real fast." He walked over to the door, which led to the garage where Miranda was working.

"Hey Randy! Gordito is here!" he said in a sing-song voice.

"Guerro! Ok, I'll be out in just a minute, I think I just found the wire we need."

He closed the door and walked back over to the toolbox.

"Gordito?" questioned Gordo.

"Just having fun. My name's Guerro."

"I'm sure you know all about me. Nice to meet you."

"Yeah, Miranda's like a sister to me. So you popped the question eh, vato?"

"yeah."

"Just one piece of advice."

"What?"

"If you ever do anything to hurt her, your gonna have to answer to me."

Now, Gordo was buff, no doubt but this guy was like nothing but muscles. He proved a threat but he seemed really nice so Gordo played around.

"I would never do anything to hurt her."

"Aye vato, I know. You seem nicer than the other guys that she's gone out with. I give you props."

"Ah…Thanks I guess."

Just then, Miranda walked out. She walked over to Gordo and told Guerro to look over things and make sure nobody messed with the tank.

"Alright Gordo, let's go over here."

She led them to a spot and Gordo looked back at Guerro. Guerro took his pointer finger, pointed it to his own eye and then pointed it to Gordo. Then he smiled.

"Was Guerro hassling you?"

"No, he just told me that you were like a sister to him and if I ever hurt you, I'd have to answer to him."

"Ugh, sorry bout that. He's been like that. He's cool, though."

"It's really no problem. So, do you want to eat lunch with me?"

"Oh, Gordo, I'm sorry, I really can't we have to fix all the tanks you saw when you came in."

"How bout tomorrow?"

"Sorry, tomorrow, we have MRE practice because half of these guys here don't know how the hell to actually make one."

"Oh, ok."

"Listen Gordo, I'm really sorry, but I will come home to your house tomorrow since it's Friday and I'll make you a good Mexican Meal, ok?"

"Sure, sounds like a date."

The Gordo and Miranda both leaned in for a kiss.

"Aye, look at Sanchez! Way to go!"

Miranda looked only to find Guerro imitating them kissing. He had turned around and wrapped his hands around himself. Only thing was that he made it seem like Miranda and Gordo were about to get Jiggy with it.

(in a girly tone) "ah, yes, that's it, give it to me!" He was laughing and Miranda was blushing.

"I better go," said Gordo.

"Yeah I'll see ya later." Miranda then rushed off and tackled Guerro right there.

Gordo walked out thinking about what strange friends Miranda had.

A/N: Ha, I thought it was funny. Well, REVIEW!!!!
