Disclaimer: I do not own and of the characters from Lizzie McGuire or the title. The title is owned by Simple Plan. I do not own the trigger either. I got that from the movie Zoolander.

The story:

That day at school all I did was think about the sign on the side of that truck. Did my alien send it? Is it not just a sign on a truck, but a sign on my life? Just then it hit me, it had to do with my dream. On the truck it said, 'Pull the trigger, it doesn't always kill', and in my dream my alien kept whispering "The Trigger", "The Trigger". I was deep in thought about the connections of these two when I saw a hand being waved in front of my face.

"Earth to Gordo!" Lizzie was tyring to attract my attention.

"Mr. Gordon!" And apparently so was my English substitute Mr. Digg.

"Yes Mr. Digg?" I responded, totally oblivious to what we were doing.

"Please answer my question Mr. Gordon."

"Can you repeat the question please?" I asked. I never had to ask before in my life for a teacher to repeat a question. Maybe this alien wasn't such a saint after all . . .

"The question was," Mr Digg started. "Who would you like as your partner or partners for your next English project?"

"Oh, sorry Mr. Digg. Miranda and Lizzie." I stated.

"Very well then, I am placing you with Tudgeman and Kraft." Mr. Digg had to be joking.

"But you asked me who I wanted for partners." I was confused, very confused.

"I asked you who you wanted, I never said that was who you were gonna get! Moving on. McGuire I liked your work on the last project so you're with Sanchez." Mr. Digg gave everyone else the partners they wanted except for me. I know I sound babyish but doesn't that seem just a little unfair? Oh well, might as well shrug it off.

That day at lunch was the worst, Lizzie kept telling there was no alien and Miranda kept telling me I was going insane. Well they're the insane ones. If I have a belief, they're supposed to support me. They are my best friends after all.

"Gordo what has been up with you lately?" Lizzie asked. "You're acting all out of this world like."

"The trigger." I simply stated.

"The what?" Miranda asked, still confused.

"The trigger. I have to figure out what the trigger is, what it means," The girls were still confused so I decided to further explain. "I had a dream last night, I was at the talent show and my alien kept whispering to me, "The Trigger, "The Trigger", then this morning I was outside, right after you left Miranda, and I told my alien that I wished I could leave it all and go with her, because nobody here understands, then a truck rode by and the sign on the side said 'Pull the trigger, It doesn't always kill'."

"Coincidence maybe?" Lizzie inquired.

"No, nothing's coincidence." I said. [[A.n: The line "Nothing's coincidence is owned by the movie A Walk To Remember . . .Or at least that's where I got it from]]

"Well Gordo, good luck finding your alien." The girls said as they walked off giggling to put their trays back from finishing their lunch. Like I said, they don't understand. No one understands.

I decided not to let them get to me this time and chased after them. "Lizzie! Miranda!" I called. They turned around in reaction to hearing their names. "Will you help me?" I asked.

"Help you with what?" The two questioned in unison.

"Find the trigger. Find what will help me get to her, my alien."

"Gordo I hardly believe in monsters, ghosts, or aliens anymore." Lizzie said.

"Yeah me too. That was from when we were babies." Miranda agreed.

"Fine, but if you two were any sort of friends you would want what was happy for the other friend. Well this is what is going to make me happy, being with her, my alien." Lizzie and Miranda stopped dead in their tracks and fully faced me.

"Ok," Lizzie started.

"Well halp you." Miranda finished.

Together, Lizzie, Miranda, and I walked to the chemistry lab since it was open during free period and that was what all three of us had next.
