Narration
At ten this morning, the first official morning of summer break, Gordo walks over to Lizzie's. Mrs. McGuire tells him to go on upstairs; she knows Lizzie is awake from the loud blast of music. When Gordo arrives in her room, he finds Lizzie jumping on her bed, her back to him dressed in her pajamas, singing to her stereo.
"I woke up in the morning light my mother says when you gonna live your life right/ Oh momma dear we're not the fortunate ones/ and girls just wanna have fun/ oh girls just wanna have fun!" Lizzie stops jumping on her bed and hops into the floor, still singing and dancing around. "The phone rings in the middle of the night/ my father yells whatcha gonna do with your life/ oh daddy dear you know you're still number one! But girls, they wanna have fu-un!" She spins around singing the chorus when she spots Gordo. "Oh my gosh! Gordo!" She rushes over to the stereo to turn the volume down while Gordo laughs. "Gordo! I'm going to kill you!"
He claps and says, "Good show, McGuire."
Lizzie thinks, "Agg! I look horrible! I just woke up! I have morning breath! I'm wearing frog pajamas! Wait, its Gordo. He's seen my frog pajamas."
Gordo continues, "Let's see if you still want to kill me after I offer you a proposition."
"Can it wait? I need to get dressed and brush my hair and,"
Gordo interrupts her. "You look fine. Come on, I've seen you eat dirt before, Lizzie. Sit down." Lizzie takes a seat in her chair while Gordo sits down at the edge of her unmade bed. "My parents have to go to Florida for a convention, and I am being dragged along. But the good thing is that I am able to invite someone along. So, what do you say? A week on the beach with your best friend sound okay with you?"
"Are you serious? All the way to Florida? For a week? YES!" Lizzie suddenly forgets her self-consciousness about her appearance. She tackles Gordo in a hug. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Gordo falls backwards on Lizzie's bed with her on top of him. She rolls onto her back beside him and they both stare up at the ceiling. "I hope my parents let me go. And what about Miranda?"
Gordo sits back up. "Miranda will probably have to go back to Mexico, considering her dad works there now. And your parents we need to ask. Come on." Gordo pulls Lizzie up and they go downstairs to ask. Surprisingly to Lizzie, they say yes. They'd known the Gordon's for a long time, and trusted them enough to have Lizzie go on a vacation with them. Plus, Jo had run into Gordo's mother at the store the other day and they discussed the vacation before even Gordo knew anything about it.
"When are we going?" Lizzie asks, leaning against a counter.
"Tomorrow," Gordo says, smiling. "Be packed and ready by five in the morning, Lizzie. We'll pick you up." Gordo heads toward the front door.
"Tomorrow!" Lizzie shouts, baffled that the trip would be so soon. She realizes Gordo is leaving and quickly runs from the kitchen to stop him. "Where are you going?"
"Home, I guess." Gordo opens the door and pauses on the step.
"Well, you wanna meet somewhere later?" Lizzie joins him on the porch, shutting the door behind her.
"Sure." Gordo answers.
"The Digital Bean?" Lizzie asks, running her fingers through her tangled hair.
Gordo stares at her a moment. When Lizzie asks him again, he shakes his head. "Nah. Let's do something different for a change,"
"What did you have in mind?" Lizzie asks, giving him a funny look.
"I just got an idea for a music video. Let's go on a hike."
"A hike? Like we do when we go camping? Gordo, exactly what song are you doing for the video?"
"Not sure yet, but I'll find something," he smiles a mischievous smile and heads down the walkway.
"Wait! Am I in the video?"
Gordo turns around. "Yes."
"Gordo, you're up to something."
"Yes. I'll come by at one to pick you up."
"What should I wear?"
"Make it twelve thirty. I'll pick the wardrobe." He quickly walks away, a big smile on his face.
Lizzie watches him leave, and, shaking her head at his unpredictability, she goes back inside to take a shower.
