"Hey, honey. Thanks for joining us. Glad you could make it," Lizzie's dad, Sam McGuire greeted her sarcastically as she came late for dinner. She had just got off the phone with Kayla. "I have two important announcements. Who wants the bad news first?"
The family murmured dully.
"OK, well, the bad news is that our phone bill has reached the level that it was at home."
Jo, Lizzie's mom moaned and shot Lizzie a look of warning.
"Well, on that pleasant note, its time for the good news. Guess what it is?"
"We won the lottery?"
"We're moving to Hollywood?"
"We're going on a vacation in Hawaii?"
"Nope," Sam answered. "It's better than that. We're moving back home in California!" The reaction wasn't what Sam had expected.
"But I just finished unpacking!" Jo complained.
"I just got detention!" Matt yelled joyously. "No more detention! No more detention! No more detention!"
"You already got detention?" Jo hollered.
"Well, it wasn't really my fault. The guinea pig was already sick, so he wouldn't have much longer to live anyway. I just, um, put him out of his misery," Matt explained hastily.
"YOU KILLED A GUINEA PIG!!!???" Jo bellowed loud enough for people back in California to hear her.
Matt backed into a corner cowardly.
"I can't believe that we're already moving back. I just made a friend, dad. Why?" Lizzie asked softly.
"Well, um, Mr Ross couldn't see my finer qualities, and let's just say that the WANTED sign is back up."
"YOU were fired?" Matt asked, obviously amazed.
Sam looked very uncomfortable. "Uh, great dinner, honey. I'm going to go for a, uh, walk."

I can't believe that I'm already packing again. It seems like only yesterday that I was unpacking all of this stuff, Lizzie thought as she packed up her room. This is so unfair. When I move back to California, Miranda and Gordo will be so obsessed with Jenny Luke that they won't even look at me. Maybe I should mail Miranda and tell her I'm coming back. Maybe she'll even explain how wonderful Jenny actually is.

Dear Miranda:
Hey! How are you?
I have some news for you.
I'm moving again.
Back to California.
We haven't exactly kept in touch like we said we would.
I guess you're just too busy with Jenny.
I don't mind.
Really.
I'm just a little concerned about my friendships when I'm back in California.
RSVP

Dear Lizzie:
Everything is fine down here. Gordo and I are really happy that you're moving back. We can't wait to see you again!
Jenny is fine, but, as you know, she moves a lot and she's moving out tomorrow. I don't think that the house has been bought yet. Maybe you can move back in there.
You know how Jenny was a replacement of you? Well, since Jenny's moving away and you're moving back, you can replace the girl who replaced you!! Weird, huh?
