Disclaimer: Good news! I will most likely be having a really up-to-date
computer by next week, so I would be having no more problems with the
computer. As to the show, I can't say the same thing as I could never own
"Lizzie McGuire".
A/N: Whoa, I did not know college life was both exciting and tiring! I have not been updating as often as I have before, but as soon as opportunity knocks, you can be sure that I have uploaded another installment of "David Gordo". It's sad that the plan for high school "Lizzie McGuire" would be scrapped, though...
Chapter 11 - How Are Things Looking Up?
It was yet another boring biology session in the eighth grade Hillridge Junior High. The day was already so depressing and monotonous even without the science teacher presenting such a dull lecture, that is, at least for Miranda and Lizzie.
Lizzie herself was about to doze off when a neatly folded page taken from a notebook fell on his desk. Seeing as how the note couldn't have come from anyone else but Gordo, who sat in front of her, she made sure their teacher wasn't watching. She then proceeded to open the letter.
"Lizzie,
I have great news for you and Miranda! I have convinced my parents to let the two of you come see me at our house! Though we may only talk for up to an hour, at least I'm getting somewhere. Oh, yeah, PLEASE don't talk to me just yet inside the campus, as my dad still have faculty all over the place looking after me.
You can't believe how overjoyed I am to finally get to talk with you guys! You simply have no idea how I've missed you so much. At any rate, drop by my house at four-thirty; I expect that the both of you have a lot of stuff to share with me.
See you until then!
Gordo
P.S. Also, could you buy me some curly fries? I would ever be grateful for that."
Lizzie immediately became thrilled at reading the news. From the comfort of his chair, Gordo could tell Lizzie was very excited, but thought it better not to get the attention of their teacher. Miranda, on the other hand, who sat at the other end of the room, saw that Lizzie suddenly was full of life. Miranda simply became curious about what happened.
Biology class soon ended, and Lizzie wanted to have a word with Gordo. Before she got to stand, however, Gordo had already darted out the door. Seeing she had no chance to catch up with him, Lizzie approached Miranda instead.
"Hey Miranda! Read this... it is very important!"
"Lizzie, slow down... what's this all about?"
"Just read it; you'll find out just why!"
Miranda opened the note and began to read. Her eyes grew bigger and bigger with every word she had read. Before she even got to finish, she cried out for joy.
"Omigosh Lizzie! We'll finally be able to talk with Gordo again! I so can't believe it! I feel like it was months ago since we got the chance to sit down together and talk and share stuff!"
"I know! I can't believe it either! Well, I hope Gordo won't be too surprised about how much he has missed since then."
"Wait, do you know what this means? We need to go shopping!"
"Uh, Miranda, it's just Gordo..."
"Sure it's Gordo, but it's the Gordo we haven't been able to talk with for a while! Let's go!"
"Well... it HAS been a while since I've checked out new outfits... sure!"

A quarter before five... Gordo was already getting impatient. He was walking back and forth along the hallway.
'Where are those two? I distinctly told them to be here by four-thirty! I can't believe they would not want to meet me as soon as possible! Figures... that's how girls are... just why did I have girls for best friends anyway? Maybe it's in my...'
Gordo was utterly interrupted when the doorbell sounded. Immediately, Gordo hastened to the door.
"It's about time you got..." Gordo was then cut short, surprised at what Lizzie and Miranda were wearing. Gordo snapped back to reality.
"Uhm, ladies, I think you have the wrong house..."
"Is that all you can say after all this time?"
"So, um, can we come in now?"
"Ok, ok, sure, come in. Do you have those fries that I asked for?"
"Of course. How could we ever forget that?"
"Great, thanks! Sit over here."
There was a brief moment of silence. Gordo began to munch on his fries.
"So," Miranda spoke up.
"O don't mind me... please, tell me about everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING..."
"Okay, so where do we start?"
From there, Lizzie took off, sometimes taking turns with Miranda, sharing stories about their talks with Mr. Dig, encounters and showdowns with Kate and Claire, common geeky obsessions of Larry Tudgeman, sharing of love problems with Matt(which Gordo found very hard to believe that he almost choked on his fries), new girl problems of their own, and yes, even Miranda's impending departure for Mexico. After that part, things became serious.
"Gordo, you don't know how much Miranda and I have missed you all this time..."
"...and how much I will be missing the both of you when I leave for my homeland," Miranda added.
The three paused for a while, as Lizzie and Miranda were on the verge of tears. Gordo saw how their eyes watered, and suddenly he grew weak and nervous. Soon, the two girls began to cry. Gordo did not know what to do, but he knew he needed to tell them something... anything. He was racking his brain for anything to say when his heart exploded.
"Guys... Miranda... Lizzie..." Gordo was about to cry as well. "You... you never know how much... how much you mean to me... I love you both... I do not know what... what to do without you guys around... I feel like my world would... would... would crumble down if we ever separated again..." Gordo paused to breathe.
Lizzie and Miranda were listening intently. Gordo continued, "I'm... I'm... sorry guys... I know that I should... that I should be strong for the three of us... I mean, I want to be strong now more than ever but... but... I'm just sorry..."
"Gordo," Lizzie spoke up. "It's alright... we understand." She patted him on the shoulder.
"Yeah. We were often the ones constantly turning to you for strength... It's our turn to help you."
Gordo did not know what to say at that moment. He finally could not stand it and then burst into tears. He went to sit in between Lizzie and Miranda, and then hugged them closely to his chest.
"Thanks... for understanding me..."
= = = = = = = = = = @ = @ = = = = = = = = = =
Mr. and Mrs. Gordon entered the living room. They were wondering why it was awfully quiet.
"David, time's up. Tell your friends to."
They were awed by the sight. Mrs. Gordon whispered to her husband, "Honey, look..."
Gordo was on the couch, hugging his two best friends so tightly to his chest as if he did not want to let them go. The three were all asleep. From where Mr. and Mrs. Gordon were standing, they saw that their cheeks were wet with tears. They watched the kids in awe.
"Howard honey, do you think we made the right decision, to keep David and his best friends apart? You see, they suffered so much, more than necessary..."
"While it is true that they suffered a great deal," Mr. Gordon replied, "I think I have taught him something that is far greater than responsibility... he has very incredible friends..." A tear escaped from the corner of his eye.
"I think our David has out matured us. Why don't we trust him more?"
"Alright. David is far greater a man than I have become. I love him."
Mr. and Mrs. Gordon did not wake the trio; instead, they left them in peace, with a sincere smile on their faces. They could never be happier... and maybe, just maybe... so could Gordo...
A/N: Aww... Does this mean a lot of things for Gordo? How would things change? What's in store for the three friends? Stick around to reward your curiosities! R/R!
This has got to be the most moving and dramatic piece I have ever written in my entire life... I just can't believe it! I guess it does not take long to discover and develop your "artistic side". Gordo, to others you may seem weak, but you are the emotionally strongest person I have ever met! Please REVIEW, everyone!
