A/N: Thanks to all those who have constantly been reading. I want to give my special thanks to Black Night; now I know I've improved a lot. As for JP5638, do not worry about the plot; I know that this is pretty much the way many of the fictions are going, but you will never know, so just watch out!
Chapter 7 - Gordo A Big Hit
"Oh my gosh! I'm gonna be late for school... again... Mom! Dad! Is everybody but me already up?" Lizzie had sprung awake, and waking up a sleepy Miranda in the process.
"Lizzie, it's Saturday morning," Miranda groggily complained. "Have you forgotten that we just spent the night here at Gordo's? Sheesh Lizzie, you're much worse than my alarm clock..."
"Sorry about that Miranda, It must have been something about my dream... I've forgotten what it was about, though."
"Are you guys up now?" Gordo was yelling down from the kitchen to the girls. "Breakfast will be ready in ten minutes! I'm cooking bacon and eggs!"
Lizzie was shocked. Gordo, cooking breakfast?
"Did I hear him right? Did I hear him say 'cook breakfast'?"
"I'm just as stumped as you are, Lizzie. I mean, the only things Gordo knows in the kitchen are the sink, the dishwasher, and the refrigerator!"
"I guess we don't give Gordo too much credit... anyway, why don't we go down now?"
"Sure. But really, Gordo, cooking?"
Just as Gordo had finished cooking their meal, Lizzie and Miranda had entered the dining room. Such a great aroma filled the air...
"Wow! Now I've seen everything Gordo... you can both get A's and cook delicious food," Miranda finally admitted.
"Well, that's what you get for always taking me for just a studious person. I'm not only about books you know."
They all settled down and began to eat breakfast. By the looks on their faces, Miranda and Lizzie appreciated how delicious Gordo's bacon and eggs tasted. After quite a lot of the food, they had finally had their fill.
"Miranda, Lizzie, why don't the two of you head up to my room? I just need to take care of these... my mom is very strict about responsibility. Don't worry, I'll be joining you in a short while."
"Okay. But I need to use your bathroom."
"Sure; our bathroom is your bathroom... at least while you're my guests." The three of them laughed. The girls then headed up the stairs.
It really did not take long for Gordo to clean up, and soon, he had joined Miranda and Lizzie to begin their project.
"Okay, guys, this is it... ready, now..." "Science, In Your Everyday Life... by David Gordon."
"Ladies and gentlemen, man, by nature, is surrounded by science," Lizzie began in front of the camera. "Wherever you turn to, you will always find, in one way or the other, that science governs all things in life."
Miranda then continued, "One, however, may not know that he is already coming face-to-face with science with its many problems and principles."
Lizzie then joined in, "That is why, our dear friends, our director has decided to call to your attention the presence of science in our everyday lives..."
A/N: Imagine that they have finished recording. I'm going to fast-forward the story to the actual presentation of the film at the auditorium during their science fair, so I hope you don't get confused. Now back to the documentary...
Gordo's Voice Over(GVO): "Who says physics has nothing to do with everyday life? Why don't we take a look at this situation..."

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Loozie and her dorky friends..." You guessed it, that was Kate Sanders with her usual routine. "What happened back yesterday in Math class, when, you know, you had this pant-astically funny incident?" Kate and Claire broke out into laughter.
"Wow Kate, I never thought that you would show yourself to the school, much more to us, after having that 'close encounter' with Lord Larry during our Health class that was about CPR? How did that feel?" Miranda was on the defense.
"Yeah, oh how I wish I would've been in your place..." Lizzie sarcastically added.
"Ugh, Bye you losers! I can't afford to be seen talking to you guys now, can I?" Kate and her posse left.
= = = = = = = = = = @ = @ = = = = = = = = = =
GVO: "One would have to agree... that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." "How about biology? Surely one could pick up something in there..."

"Mom, Dad, why is my pet lizard lying on her back? And why does she look so pale? Did she..." It was Matt, surprised to see his pet lizard.
"Sorry honey, but she escaped from her cage and when we found her she looked like that... And since she looked dead, we buried her and..."
"You WHAT??!!"
"Honey, we did not know she really does that ALIVE. We're so sorry."
"So let me get this straight, you thought she was dead when she wasn't and then you buried her, but when you found out that she really does that alive you dug her up again?! Aaaahh! I can NEVER ever show my face to the class now! Aaaahh!"
= = = = = = = = = = @ = @ = = = = = = = = = =
GVO: "Yup, you should never bury any living thing, even those dead-looking ones... you may never know when they would still need their oxygen..." "Moving on, one may find that chemistry may only be found in the laboratory... WRONG! While many chemical combinations have been found helpful to modern man, there are still things one ought not to do..."
= = = = = = = = = = @ = @ = = = = = = = = = =
"Matt, what did you put in my hair spray??!!" An infuriated Lizzie came storming through the living room.
"Oh Lizzie! What did I put in your hair spray? Well... uhm... nothing harmful really, and it's nothing you would not know... and besides, I found out that your hair spray was getting quite empty, so I filled it up. No need to worry..."
"Worry?! WORRY?! Matt, you better tell me what you put in my hair spray or I'm gonna get mom to ground you for the rest of your life! Or better yet, I'll convince mom to let me do the punishing for her... Matt!"
"Okay, okay... it's nothing really, it's just glue and I know..."
"WHAT??!! GLUE??!! You're in for it now dork-brain!"
"Lizzie! Wait! I can show you how to get it off! Heeeeeelp!"
= = = = = = = = = = @ = @ = = = = = = = = = =
GVO: "One should know hair spray and glue don't go together... especially with one's hair..." "So, do you still think that science is nothing more than just boring stuff in the classroom? Maybe you just don't have a life. Go out there! You'll surely find that science is everywhere around you!"
"This documentary was directed, produced and filmed by David Gordon. Special thanks to Lizzie McGuire and Miranda Sanchez for making the film possible..."
Gordo has now sunk deep into his seat, hoping against all hope that at least somebody, other than his two best friends of course, would applaud for him. Gordo however, got more than he wished for; the whole auditorium was filled with applause as the master of ceremonies requested for him to come up the stage and speak to all of them.
'Wow! This is... this is... simply great! I would never have imagined in my junior high school life that I would be recognized! And I even won first place!!! I never knew that I could create something this good... and it's not just me who thinks so, but practically the entire school! Amazing!'
"Uhh... uhm... I would just like to say..." A very long pause... "Whoa! Now that was quite exhilarating, wasn't it? I've never imagined that I would be standing here in front of you guys... and again, whoa!" Everyone laughed at his nervousness. Gordo took a few breaths before he continued.
"I would like to once more give my deepest gratitude to my two best friends Lizzie and Miranda who had been more than inspiration to me. Actually, I would never have even thought of joining this contest if it wasn't for the two of them. And I would like to thank each and every one of you for making this possible for me! Thank you very much!"
Gordo had stepped down from the podium and for the last time received his well-deserved round of applause. As soon as the ceremonies were over, the three decided to take a walk home.
"So Gordo, how did it feel to be praised by the school?"
"Actually, it was virtually the best feeling I've ever had in my entire life! I would have to say that I still can't believe that I actually won, much more first place! But I guess I would never have imagined being the star of the night, the talk of the town! Could you believe that?"
"Yeah. I mean, could you believe what Larry decided to present? It was nothing more than Bore-tropolis raised to a gazillion!"
"You're right, but what actually surprised me was Ethan Craft entering the competition! Since when did Ethan Craft start caring about science? He couldn't even differentiate a kidney from a liver!"
"Hey! Don't be so mean, Gordo! He just wanted to try out and do something different for a change."
"Yeah, but try watching a thirty-minute documentary all about him... and his... hair!"
"Well, Ethan Craft's hair is still a science... at least to us girls. Oh Ethan!"
"Are we going to discuss about Ethan the whole night, just like what has been going for the past couple of months? Can't I have at least one night to be the point of discussion for us guys?"
"Sorry about that, Gordo," Lizzie began, "but really, you so deserve that award. Everyone has his own talents that they are known for, and people often do not recognize them. But if it makes you feel better, we want to let you know that we think you're cool Gordo! Congratulations!"
"Wow. Thanks Lizzie, Miranda. You two are simply the best. Well, it looks like we're finally at your house. Why don't you get in? Stay any longer and they might call the police filing a report for three missing kids." Lizzie and Miranda chuckled.
"Okay. Thanks Gordo!" "Yeah, thanks, and congratulations!"
"Hey guys, wait."
"Yeah?" "What is it?"
"Why don't we hang out at the Digital Bean tomorrow afternoon? I want to pay you back somehow for the help you gave me."
"No need for that Gordo." "Yeah. Didn't we tell you that in exchange for you joining and winning, we would help you in anyway we can? Well, all's quits."
"But I want to do something special for you guys at least this once. Come on, it's my treat anyway. You could have all the smoothies you want!"
"Gordo, there's really no need for that. And besides, you deserve all that prize money to yourself."
"Please now, just this once! I couldn't have all those curly fries for myself you know. Plus, I would really get lonely. Come on now, don't make me force you to do it!"
"Okay, okay Gordo, no need to get so serious about it!"
"Yeah, and don't worry, we'll have the time of our lives!"
"Thanks guys! Now, you go ahead and get to sleep now, I can't afford you two looking so haggard for tomorrow's blowout! Good night!"
"Good night Gordo!" "And take care of yourself! Congratulations again!"
A/N: What a wonderful night that was for Gordo, wasn't it? How about tomorrow? Would it turn out great? Stick around to find out!
Thanks a bunch to my readers; I hope you tell it to your friends too! Hope you don't forget to review! See ya!
