Disclaimer: I still have yet to maintain a grasp on that ownership of
Lizzie McGuire or affiliates. ::tear:: It'd be nice to have ownership of a
show, huh? Especially one that brings in the dough. I've got nothing
against being rich. Screw being a teacher, I'll be in charge of some show
or something. Like that'll ever happen. I could only hope, as we all can.
A/N: Well, it's been a couple days since my last updation and I'm sure you've all been awaiting the coming chapters as much as I have. I have all these chapters in my head and it's hard to get them out into words and make them long. It's not as easy as it seems. Maybe because it's the past and it's factual or something. I don't really know. I am going to try and develop the Parker and Larry relationship next chapter, it's just a little more difficult because I wasn't there during my Parker and Larry's time alone. So, some stuff and incidences will have to be made up. Honestly, everything I've put into this, minus conversations (I will only be having a few of those by heart seeing as how I don't remember EVERYTHING!) completely happened, just switch those names around and, it's my summer. I miss Dunk Fest and watching him dive. Good times. It was a lot of fun. Now that I've written one of the longest author notes ever, for me at least, I shall continue on to the review responses seeing as how I forgot to add those last chapter. Oops!

(: The whole first half of this story IS going to the pool and hanging out, hence the title.
Tanguay40: Yes, my birthday is tomorrow. Thank you. Also, as I said the first half or so will be at the pool. There won't be much school interaction because Gordo and Lizzie don't attend the same school, so that would defeat the purpose. The tan thing, I don't really know. I'm naturally tan, and I don't go out into the sun and tan that much in the summer.
Melanie: Thank you, I'm trying to make it that way. ::wink::
Chapter 5: Competition
Lizzie and Gordo were out on the raft enjoying themselves while Parker and Larry were off basking in the sunlight over by their towels. The previous two were enjoying themselves and watching some people jump off the two diving boards. Many of the people that jumped off the diving board were really talented, but that day, Lizzie and Gordo saw some extreme divers.
"Yeah, these girls'll be good," Gordo joked obviously making fun of the fact that the girls in question were about nine or ten.
"Hey, are you being sexist, buddy?" Lizzie countered.
"Of course not, they're just going up guys who have been doing this for year's."
"Well, I'll give you that. Oh, look one of them is going. What the heck?" Lizzie was confused as the first girl raised her arms over her head, arched her back, smiled and extended her arms ready to dive. The girl ran up to the board and jumped off, perfectly executing a dive at about a 1.5 difficulty.
"See, Gordo. I told you so. She's amazing. Probably better than half of those cannon ball boys." Lizzie said as she stuck her tongue out at him.
"Now who's being mean? She was pretty good though. But you have to admit, the beginning, hilarious."
"Yeah, it was pretty funny and the other one is doing the same exact thing. They've got to compete or something. No one would just randomly do that before a dive. It's almost like gymnasts." Lizzie chuckled.
"I'm going to go off. You watch." Gordo swam over to the ladder and climbed up. He walked over to the line at one of the two boards and took his place. He left Lizzie there, sitting confused and inadvertently watching him as he walked up closer and closer.
Gordo was finally up. Lizzie had seen him go off the board a few times before, and she had as well, but he left so abruptly there had to be something. Out of nowhere, he raised his arms over his head, arched his back, smiled and proceeded to walk up to do his dive. Lizzie didn't see the dive, it didn't really matter that she hadn't either. He didn't want her too. He wanted to make her laugh, make her smile, and he had. She could hardly breathe by the time he swam back over to her.
"So, what'd you think?" He asked looking hopeful.
"I'd say it's a 9.5. Execution could use a little work, but you had a flawless start. Congratulations, you've won." Lizzie said in her best judge like voice.
"Oh, thank you thank you. You like me you really like me." Gordo swiped a fake tear away and accepted a fake bouquet of flowers from Lizzie. They both then broke out in extreme laughter.
Then, after the laughter had ceased to exist, there was a silence between Lizzie and Gordo. It wasn't an awkward silence though, they were comfortable; they didn't need to really say anything. Lizzie lay her head over onto the raft and felt the warm rays come onto her nearly dried back.
"Penny for your thoughts, McGuire." Gordo started up a conversation.
"Nothing, really. It's just I was thinking about how much fun I've been having this summer with Parker and all. It's just a different change for me."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, this is really the first year Parker and I became as close as we have. I have known Parker for a really long time, back before she transferred schools, it's just that we never knew each other that well. Even when she transferred, we didn't have classes together. This year, this was the first time I actually spent time with her and got to know her as well as I have. It just is a little, I don't know what I'm trying to say."
"No, I understand. She's a fun girl."
"Yeah, she is." Lizzie let out a slight laugh.
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing. She's just different than I expected. She's more free and wild than anyone I've ever met. It's a nice change."
"Parker is a wild one, all right," Gordo chuckled. "She was doing the craziest things when we were younger. She always worked her way out of trouble though. If she had gotten caught, though, she'd have been out of there."
"Speaking of Parker. Her and Larry?" Lizzie broached her new favorite topic.
"You are seriously hopeless, you know that? You can't get your mind past the fact that they want to have little hippie Star Wars fans running around."
"Ew. You are **so** not being funny. That's just disgusting and we're only 13!"
"Did I say the hippie Star Wars babies would be crawling anytime soon? I didn't think so. All I'm saying is, that's what they want. Keyword being want."
"I'm the hopeless one? You probably go home and imagine what their "children" will look like." Lizzie smirked.
"Oh, yes. I do every night. I lie in my bed wondering if the child will want to go as Han Solo or Gandhi for Halloween."
"See, in your mind, they're going to have a hippie Star Wars fan little boy. There's no way my daughter would be Han Solo or Gandhi."
"All right. I've got to cut you off. You're done. You're just done. No more elaborate discussion of hippie Star Wars boys or girls."
"Fine. Party pooper."
"Right, then who's dive preparation were you dying of laughter from?"
"I haven't the faintest idea as to what you are speaking of, Mr. Gordon," Lizzie turned away from him.
"I say again, just for good measure, you are hopeless." Gordo added it with a light splash in Lizzie's direction, causing her to turn around with a surprised look on her face.
"Do you dare splash me?" She questioned, shocked.
"No, of course not," he splashed her again.
"I see. That's how it's going to be," Lizzie retorted with a double splash, equaling the two previous ones out.
Needless to say, nothing but a splash fight and a few laughs came from this discussion.
A/N: You know what to do. I still need a good revenge for Parker and Lizzie to execute to Gordo and Larry. I'll give you an Internet cookie! And now updates may be more frequent because I have Internet in my room. Woot!
