Disclaimer: People, I do not own Lizzie McGuire nor do I have anything to
do with it. I'm just a big fan of the show and the only thing I own is my
very, VERY slow computer!
A/N: I haven't been getting reviews lately, but I'm still trying to come up with a lot of chapters for you! Please, I'm getting discouraged recently, so if I don't get to read more reviews, I might not update for a long time. For the meantime, enjoy chapter 8! R/R PLEASE! I'm dying to hear from you!
Chapter 8 - The Hillridge Trio's Fun
The morning brought about a special mood in the air; the birds are chirping along happily, children are walking down the streets without a care, even mothers seem to be cheerfully going about their own routines at home. It was as if a fairy had turned this very ordinary community (A/N: Actually I don't think so.) into a very lively suburb.
I guess nobody could blame it, therefore, that Gordo woke up with such a glowing start. Usually he would not wake up until noon and would only do so after fighting with his mom to get out of bed. Gordo, however, did not find anything strange; he went about his morning ritual and decided to go over what he planned to do with the girls that day.
'Lemme see... first I have to call up the Digital Bean to make sure they have loaded up a big bunch of french fries, prepared a big tank of chocolate smoothies and some other stuff; I really can't imagine a blowout running out of food... next I have to call Miranda and Lizzie to make sure things are still looking up today, and then... maybe I'll handle the rest of the details later on.'
Gordo called up the Digital Bean and checked up on the food. One thing Gordo would surely never forget, other than her two best friends of course, is food... and lots of it! Since everything was fine as he had intended, Gordo called up the two girls.
"Hello?"
"Uhm, Mrs. Sanchez, could I please speak to Miranda?"
"Sure sweetie, just hold on a sec... MIRANDA! DAVID'S ON THE PHONE!!" Miranda was heard yelling back and was soon on the phone.
"Hello, Gordo, what's up?"
"Could you hold on a minute? I'll just call on Lizzie..."
"Hello. Mr. McGuire?"
"Yeah? Gordo?"
"You guessed it! Could I talk to Lizzie?"
"Sure Gordo, I'll just toss her the phone..." Lizzie just entered the dining room... and she answers the phone.
"Good morning Gordo, what's all this about? You never call this time of day, nor do you wake up this early during weekends. What's up?"
"Hello Lizzie. By the way, Miranda's on the line too. Anyway, I just called the both of you to make sure that our plans... or make it MY plans today with the both of you are still on this afternoon... are you still up to it?"
"Gordo, of course I'm going..."
"...and so am I. You don't have to check us up about that; we do this all the time Gordo."
"Well, I don't know; maybe something's in the air that made me call you guys; I can never be too sure that my two best friends are still up to what I'm planning..."
"What, you don't trust us now? Come on Gordo, we've already had hurdled a lot of trials about trust and friendship before..."
".and don't even think that we wouldn't stick up to our best buds ever, 'coz we surely would!"
"Cool! So everything's good?"
"Yup." "Yeah."
"Great! Why don't we all meet at the Digital Bean by three o'clock? Until then! Bye!"
"Bye Gordo!" "See yah!"
"Miranda, I wonder what's with Gordo today? He sounds so... spirited over the phone."
"Well Lizzie, this day feels kinda. different. Even I feel so upbeat today."
"Well, I guess I should get 'into the mood' else I wouldn't be able to catch up with you guys. Anyway, I still have some other chores to do this morning, so I'll see you then! Bye!"
"Bye Lizzie! Don't forget, it's three o'clock!"
"Don't worry, I won't! Bye!"
Time seemed to fly by, and soon, Gordo realized he had been into his homework that he had totally let 2:30 come by unnoticed. When he finally stopped, he saw that it was about already 2:53! Gordo then decided to have a quick change of clothes before heading off to their meeting place.
When Gordo arrived, he found nothing... it seemed like a deserted Digital Bean, that was, before he was greeted...
"Surprise Gordo! Congratulations!"
"Hello Gordo!"
"Hello Miranda, Lizzie..."
'Wha. what's this all about? I thought I was the one who was going to surprise Miranda and Lizzie... I guess that the trick's on me then...'
"Guys guys guys! What's all this about?"
"It's for winning last night's contest!"
"Gordo, why do you look so surprised?"
"Well... I was supposed to be the one who is going to surprise you, but then, you really got me this time! Really now guys, you didn't have to do this..."
"We didn't have to..."
"... but we really wanted to! You're our best friend, Gordo!"
"We just wanted to make you so happy!"
"Well... uhm... thanks! Well then, why don't we get started on those french fries? And before we forget, you can have all the smoothies you want; it's on me."
"Yay!"
"Now that's what we're here for... just kidding! Let's eat!"
Gordo, Miranda and Lizzie started to munch on their food, sharing stories and a lot of jokes in between bites. That wasn't too bad. After all of them had their fill, Gordo decided to do something really special; he simply can't stop having fun on this special day...
"Hey guys, let's go now."
"Why Gordo? Where are we going?"
"You mean this is not just it?"
"This? It's not even half of it!"
"Really? Well, then, wherever it is, just take us there!"
"Well, if you want to, let's hurry; it's already 5:10!"
The three then left the Digital Bean, with Gordo at their head and Miranda and Lizzie just in tow. The girls still had no clue as to where they were headed. They kept on asking Gordo along the way, but he just kept silent.
"Well, here we are! Where do you want to go first?"
It was a carnival that just settled outside town two weeks before. Miranda and Lizzie were totally surprised.
"Why don't we go ride the merry-go-round?"
"Lizzie, really now... I can't be seen riding... that!"
"But you brought us here. I thought you wanted us to have fun..." Lizzie faked a frown.
"Okay, okay. Let's get this over with... but I'm choosing the next one!"
"Fine with us!" Miranda and Lizzie giggled, much to Gordo's displeasure.
The ride turned out to be okay, and Gordo became less conscious about it. As soon as it was over, they went to the hall of mirrors. The three couldn't help but laugh at how they looked in the different mirrors. Afterwards they went inside the haunted house. Gordo did not find anything scary inside, but he constantly had to look after Lizzie and Miranda who always held on to him tightly whenever something scared the wits out of them. As soon as they got out, the girls were greatly relieved. They had some cotton candy and soda while they took a rest from all that running. Just then, Lizzie saw a cute teddy bear she liked.
"Gordo, could you get me that teddy bear in that toss booth? Pleeeeaaaaaaase!"
"Uhm, Lizzie, aren't you too old for that?"
"Don't be so mean Gordo! Could you get me that? Pretty pretty please with cherries on top..."
"Okay, okay, I will... anything to make you happy..."
'Anything to make you happy... now that's something new.'
Gordo got to the booth and luckily, after just a few tries, he finally won the bear Lizzie wanted. Once he gave it to Lizzie, she gave him a peck on the cheek. Gordo was shocked, and so was Miranda who kept quiet all this time. Gordo touched where he was kissed and at the same time wondered,
"What was that for?"
"For winning this... and of course, for being such a great best friend. Thanks!"
"Well, you're... you're welcome... anytime..."
'Wow. Now that's a keeper... wait, what am I saying? Now what's gotten into me? Strange... what's this? What exactly does this mean... Maybe this is something more than I had expected. Well before anything else happens, maybe I should put my final plan into action...'
"Guys, are you finished with your food?"
"Why? What is it this time?"
"Yeah! Is this another one of your surprises?"
"Maybe. Do you want to go or not," Gordo asked almost impatiently.
"Sure. I'm growing tired of this place anyway."
"Looks like you took the words out of my mouth, Lizzie. Let's go!"
Once again, they took off. This time however, they headed back into town. Miranda could almost already tell where they are going. Lizzie, on the other hand, felt nothing else but excited as she tailed Gordo all the way. They soon arrived at a very beautiful park.
"Okay Gordo, what's so special about this park," Miranda asked.
"Oh right, you were not yet part of our circle back then. Well, just to let you know, this is the park where Lizzie and I..."
Lizzie butted in, "... spent our afternoons together when our moms were off relaxing here. You wouldn't believe how much memories we had."
"Well," Gordo uttered, "that's not why I brought you here... lie down here on the leaves and look at the sky."
It was dark, and the stars shone brightly in the evening sky. It was simply marvelous.
"Wow Gordo, this has got to be the best thing I've ever seen today," Miranda said.
"Well, I discovered this when I was off thinking before classes began this year. I thought it would be nice to let you see it too."
"This is so nice Gordo. It's just so... perfect... by the way, thanks for letting us have such a great time today."
"Yeah Gordo, this beats just about every other experience we ever had! Thanks!"
"You're very welcome."
They spent a couple of minutes finding stars and constellations in the sky. They were having so much fun that they had totally forgotten about the time; it was already 8:05. When Gordo realized that it was getting late, he decided they should be getting home.
On the way home, the three kept silent. Each one was thinking...
Miranda: 'I never had this much fun in my entire life since my family went to a bullfight back in Mexico! I can't believe how much Gordo has planned for us, it's just not like him. I always wondered what Gordo was off to before, and I guess I have no more reason to doubt what he's doing...'
Lizzie: 'Wow! Gordo had gotten through a lot of trouble just to let us have a great time... I never knew that Gordo could be this great! Not only is he such a great best friend, but he also knows how to have a great time! I could never replace someone like Gordo... ever; he's simply... so great a friend.'
Gordo: 'Hm, I never thought that this day would turn out this way. Not only do I give Miranda and Lizzie such a great time in their lives, but I get to impress Lizzie... wait, did I just think that? Why would I impress Lizzie? Because we're friends? Maybe that's it... but I just can't figure out why it turns out that way. Whatever it is, I still have a lot of things to think about... what a wonderful day this turned out to be!'
As soon as they all arrived at Lizzie's house, the McGuires, the Sanchezes and the Gordons were all gathered at the front porch. The three couldn't help but feel like they are going to get the grounding of their lives.
"ELIZABETH BROOKE MCGUIRE!" Mr. and Mrs. McGuire shouted out.
"MIRANDA ISABELLA SANCHEZ!" Mr. and Mrs. Sanchez yelled.
"DAVID ZEPHYR GORDON!" It was Mr. and Mrs. Gordon who screamed.
"WHERE HAVE THE THREE OF YOU BEEN??!!" the six worried parents asked in unison.
"Well, mom, it's like this." Lizzie nervously started.
"...Gordo won this contest yesterday..." Miranda continued. They began finishing each other's sentences.
"...then we decided to have this party today..."
"...but we had gone to the carnival..."
"Miranda, Lizzie," Gordo had finally gotten the courage to speak up. He nervously but responsibly started again, "I think I should do this... it is, after all, my own doing."
"And just exactly what was that plan," Mrs. Gordon inquired.
"You see dad, mom, Mr. and Mrs. Sanchez, Mr. and Mrs. McGuire, I... won this contest yesterday, and Miranda and Lizzie helped me with it. So in return, I invited them to have some fun and spend the day with me. We met at the Digital Bean, went to the carnival and then the park, but because we did not realize it was already late, we came back just now. Please do not blame Miranda or Lizzie because really, it was all part of my plan to thank them. I really should have told you all about this, but because you may tell them, I thought it better not to. Whatever the punishment, I am willing to take all of Miranda and Lizzie's punishment, even if that means being grounded for the rest of my life. I take full responsibility for all my actions."
The six angry parents then had a conference. Miranda and Lizzie, on the other hand, was so surprised and sorry at the same time for Gordo. They could tell it was not going too well.
"Mom, dad, Mr. and Mrs. Sanchez and Mr. and Mrs. Gordon," Lizzie uttered all of a sudden, "please do not punish Gordo..."
The parents then stopped to listen.
"Yeah," Miranda continued, "Gordo was really thoughtful and kind and nice to us today..."
"And he was really responsible for the both of us. Look, I know that before we had been very irresponsible and careless, but look, we're still in one piece. The story might have been different with a different guy, but, this is Gordo, our best friend. You might not fully trust him entirely, but we do, we really do. So please, if you decide to punish Gordo, please punish us as well. We wouldn't be good best friends if we let him be punished alone."
That changed everything. Gordo was equally surprised at what Lizzie had said.
'Does she care that much for me? Wait, that should go like "do they care that much for me"... Lizzie, Lizzie, Lizzie, I never thought you cared for me like that. Wait, does this mean she cares for me as a friend or as something more? What's happening? Am I falling for Lizzie? I can't be... Yeah right Gordo. Maybe it's just your nerves getting to you... yeah, that must be it.'
"Well," Mrs. McGuire began, "we all better go home now. We will still discuss your situation later on. It's really getting late. Say goodbye now."
The three sadly bid each other goodbye. They could tell that they might not be seeing each other outside school for a long, long time. Gordo couldn't help but feel very sad and responsible about what turned out, but at the same time happy and curious about what he was feeling. He decided not to think about anything but the punishment for the moment.
A/N: How brave and responsible Gordo is, don't you think? He's simply wise and responsible beyond his years. But what would his/their punishment/s be? Thinking of anything harsh? Stick around! R/R!
My chapters are getting longer and longer every time, and even I surprise myself! I guess I have a knack for this after all!
A/N: I haven't been getting reviews lately, but I'm still trying to come up with a lot of chapters for you! Please, I'm getting discouraged recently, so if I don't get to read more reviews, I might not update for a long time. For the meantime, enjoy chapter 8! R/R PLEASE! I'm dying to hear from you!
