A/N: First off, a few reviewers have made comments about Gordo not being in
character when he offers to hold Lizzie's hand. I know that might not be
him exactly, but since we haven't seen a L/G romance on the show, I'm kind
of writing what I want - which is basically all a fanfic is. So, if you
don't want to read it, don't. That being said, here's an update for those
of you who want to read it! Review please!

A Summer of Changes
Chapter 4: Are We There Yet?
Lizzie opened her eyes after awakening from her nap. "Hey." She said sleepily to Gordo.
"Hey." He replied, looking up from his magazine. "You have a good nap?"
"Yeah." She answered, stretching her arms. "How long was I out for?"
"About an hour. We land in about 3." He told her.
"Yuck! 3 more hours!" she exclaimed.
"I know." He agreed. "I've read this magazine 3 times already."
"Well, I'd offer you my CosmoGirl or Seventeen, but I doubt you'd enjoy the Josh Hartnett centerfold." She joked.
"I'll pass." He replied.
"Well, I think my mom packed some travel games for Matt and Lanny. I'll go get one." She decided.
"Ok." Gordo agreed.
Lizzie got up and crossed the aisle to where her parents were sitting. Both her father and Gordo's father were snoring loudly. Mrs. Gordon was reading Psychology Today, and Jo was reading a book. She looked up when she heard Lizzie walk over.
"Hi honey." She said.
"Hi Mom." Lizzie replied.
"You feeling ok?" asked Jo.
"Oh yeah, I'm fine." Replied Lizzie. "I just wanted to grab a game. Gordo and I are bored out of our minds."
"I know." Remarked Jo. "It's a long flight. I gave the games to Matt and Lanny, why don't you go get one."
"OK." Replied Lizzie. She walked around to the other aisle and Jo returned to her book.
"Hey look Lanny, it's Princess Puke!" called Matt, seeing Lizzie approach.
Lanny leaned over and Matt nodded his head. "Lanny wants to know if he can have your autograph, your highness."
"Matt, I'm not in the mood." Lizzie glared. "Just give me a travel game."
"Fine." Replied Matt. He handed her Connect Four.
"Thank you." She replied, and she walked back to her seat.
Gordo and Lizzie played about 10 games of Connect Four, and decided they had had enough.
"How much time left?" asked Lizzie, hopefully.
"2 hours and 45 minutes." Responded Gordo.
"Ugh!" said Lizzie, frustrated. "That only killed 15 minutes!"
"How come these plane rides never seemed so long when we were little?" asked Gordo.
"I don't know." Replied Lizzie. "Probably we slept the whole time." She looked over at Matt and Lanny. They were both sound asleep.
"Yeah." Laughed Gordo. "Those were the days."
"Mmm hmm." Agreed Lizzie.
"So are you totally bummed Miranda couldn't come?" asked Gordo, trying to pass time.
"Yeah. A little bit." Admitted Lizzie.
"Me too." Replied Gordo.
The McGuires' and the Gordons' had been friends for a long time. Lizzie and Gordo had known each other since birth, their families were close. Every year, they went to New Hampshire. Mrs. Gordon's sister owned a huge house on Lake Winnipesauke. Lizzie always brought Miranda with her, and the three friends always had the best time. This year however, Miranda had been sent to Mexico for the summer. Something about "discovering her heritage". She had pleaded with her parents, but one week after school had ended, she was shipped away. It was a disappointment for all three of them.
"We'll still have fun though." Decided Lizzie.
"Definitely." Agreed Gordo. "If this freakin' plane ever lands!"
TBC!
