Disclaimer: The closet thing I've seen of any relations to Lizzie McGuire
is the kid at my school who has "Gordo hair." It's nice hair.
A/N: I'm sitting here, with a decreasing headache and a really bad smell of my new air freshener that I'm not too partial to and I figured, I'm not doing anything better, why not update? Of course, I'm starting this on Thursday and you won't see it until Friday. Whatever. Maybe Friday. We'll see.
Reviews:
Meggs: I didn't know that song was as popular as it has been. Thank you for 'falling in love with this fic.'
BrownEyedGurl: I completely understand. You should try the 'dunking technique' I included in this chapter.
Tanguay40: I bet many people had forgotten about Miranda, seeing as how I failed to mention her, a lot. Veruca is the girl with red hair, a tad chunky, she's in Clue-Less and Dear Lizzie. She might be in a couple others. Random character will be used.
Cute But Psycho: Yeah, that was a pretty good conversation.
Chapter 11: Home Is Where The Heart Is
Miranda ran up to Lizzie's driveway 20 minutes later and leaned against the doorbell. Surprisingly, Lizzie answered, dressed appropriately for the pool.
"Let's go," Lizzie muttered to Miranda.
"You don't have to be so dramatic, you know," Miranda reasoned to her.
"Don't say anything to any of them. Especially Parker," Lizzie pointed at her big-mouthed friend.
"My lips are sealed," Miranda dragged her index finger and thumb across her lips, sealing them tight.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah."
They entered the pool the same way as always and peeled their over-clothes off before officially entering the pool.
"All right. Where to?" Miranda smiled wide, awaiting her meeting with Lizzie's new love interest.
"Up there," Lizzie pointed to the regular spot and led Miranda there.
As luck would have it, she found Gordo at his bag, pulling something out. He heard someone approaching and lifted his head and was surprised to say the least.
"Lizzie? When did you get back?"
"Today."
"That's awesome."
Miranda coughed and Lizzie finally realized she had neglected her other friend.
"Oh, sorry, Gordo this is my friend Miranda. Miranda, Gordo."
Miranda and Gordo exchanged pleasantries and Miranda help back her urge to laugh at the awkwardness of the situation.
It turned out, Parker was there and so was Larry. But there were two other people who had not been there during Lizzie's time. Larry's brother, Sean and Veruca were there. Veruca had been coming with Parker since Lizzie left and Sean had just come today.
They were now all in the water, continuing the game of Dunk Fest '02. By now, the lifeguards had given up on telling the group that it was against pool rules to dunk another person. Purely because it got useless and it was actually kind of entertaining watching the dunking. The girls, being weaker than the guys, had come up with a different way of dunking, that needed little strength. The guys were still pushed under, just not the same way. Lizzie had originally done it, she took her hand to the side of Larry's head one day and pushed it the opposite way, forcing it down with ease. This continued and was still being used. Today, however, a real classic dunk happened. A once in a lifetime dunk.
Lizzie, Miranda and Veruca were standing and Parker was a few yards ahead of them and they were all talking. Suddenly, Sean came up behind Parker and lifted her into the air. Lizzie, Miranda and Veruca gaped at the scene in front of them as Parker continued talking, not realizing that her feet were no longer on the ground.
"Uh, Parker...." Veruca stammered out first.
"Yeah?" The three girls glanced and Parker followed their lead. "AH!" Next thing Parker knew she was flying and then was under the water again. She was in deep enough to not get injured and Sean hadn't thrown her far, it was just the fact that he had lifted her out. It was a true spectacle.
Parker came up and Sean, Gordo, Larry, Lizzie, Miranda, Veruca, and even the lifeguards on the chairs were laughing.
"That was the scariest moment of my life! I could have freaking died! What a rush!"
Everyone started laughing harder now and Parker's insanity.
Sean, Gordo, Miranda and Lizzie were seated at a table at the concession stand catching up and getting to know each other (in cases of Miranda and Sean).
Gordo looked at Lizzie and couldn't help but say, "I missed you so much." He looked a little embarrassed but tried to cover it up.
"I missed you, too," Lizzie replied surprised. Was it normal for guys to say that? Was it normal for your guy friends and only friends to say that?
Sean had no idea what was going on with Lizzie and Gordo, but Miranda's mind was clearly reeling at those few words and expressions she had heard spoken. She felt like Lizzie and Gordo didn't realize that Scott and her were seating right there, but that just made it all the more magical.
Everyone had said their goodbyes, Gordo would be leaving for vacation and then school would start. This was truly the end of their summer together. Lizzie and Gordo shared an awkward and nervous hug as he left into the black Jeep. Then, Parker and Veruca left, leaving Lizzie all to Miranda.
"You two are disgusting. And stupid."
"He is not stupid. Or disgusting."
"And neither are you. By yourself, but together, oh yeah. He totally likes you Lizzie and you are completely head over heels."
"You're wrong. He's just my friend."
"Come on! Do you know anything about guys? Especially one's that are thirteen? They don't say things like, 'I missed you so much,' without wanting something more than friendship. He actually missed you, Liz!"
"I know," Lizzie couldn't help but smiling thinking back at the memory.
"Gordo likes you. Oh, wow. You just twinkled." Miranda laughed.
Lizzie gave her a questioning look, "I did not. Wait, what?"
"Your eyes fully twinkled when I said, 'Gordo.' See? They did it again!" Miranda mused.
"You are so weird."
"Yeah, well, at least I know when a guy likes me."
"No, you don't."
"I know when a guy likes you."
"You think you know when a guy likes me. You're wrong. Gordo and I would never ever work, we go to different schools, it'd be way too hard, even if he did like me, which he doesn't."
Miranda just rolled her eyes.
A/N: I melt every time at that. Come on, a guy saying "I missed you so much" who wouldn't? Too amazing.
