----Lizzie's House---- After they took their showers and got dressed, they decided to call Kate and ask what was up for the day. "Hello." Answered Kate. "Hey, it's Lizzie and Gordo." "Hey! We were just about to call you." "We?" Lizzie asked curiously. "Me and Miranda. She and I had this awesome idea to have a dinner party. It's going to be totally awesome. And it's going to be just for us six. You know, Me, you, Ethan, Gordo, Miranda, and Larry." She explained. "Oh, that sounds really cool." "Yeah, it's gonna be tonight at 6:30. And make sure you and Gordo wear something nice, you know, formal." "Ok, where is it gonna be?" Lizzie asked. "At my house. In the backyard." "Coolie! Well, then, I'll see you tonight!" "Bye!" They both said at the same time, and hung up. "Well, what did she say?" Gordo asked, confused. "She and Miranda are having a dinner party, for the six of us, tonight. And we have to get dressed formally." "Ok, sounds fun. So does this mean our first date?" He asked. "Of course! But, you have to come with me to the mall and help me pick out a dress to wear." Lizzie asked. "I knew I had to go through some torture to be able to go out with you." He joked. "Gordo! It's gonna be fun. Come on, let's go ask my mom for a ride." The couple walked down the stairs and found Lizzie's mom in the kitchen making lunch. "Hey kids," She said. "What are you up to today?" "Hey mom, Kate's throwing a small dinner party tonight. And I wanted to get a dress at the mall. Can you drive us?" "A dinner party? How small? Do you remember the last time Kate had a party? Will it be chaperoned?" Jo said throwing questions to her daughter. "Mom, calm down! It's only us six, me, Gordo, Kate, Miranda, Ethan, and Larry. It's not gonna be a huge wild blowout party. And I'm sure Kate's mom will be there." Lizzie answered. "Well, alright. I guess. I'll drive you to the mall after we eat lunch. All right?" "Thanks, Mom! That sounds good." ----At the Mall---- "Alright, you two. I'll be back here to pick you up at 3:00. Here's some money for that dress, Lizzie. It should be enough." Jo told her. "Thanks, Mom."
"Yeah, thanks, Mrs. McGuire." Gordo said. "Bye kids." The two walked to the entrance, and Jo drove off. Lizzie and Gordo walked around the mall until they found a store for Lizzie to look around. It wasn't until the 6th try until Lizzie found a dress she liked. "This!" Lizzie exclaimed. "This is the dress! I have to try it on!" Lizzie walked off to the dressing room, where Gordo followed, and waited outside. She tried on the dress and looked at herself in the mirror. "Perfect." She said quietly to herself. "Well?" Gordo asked. "Let me see." "Not yet. I want you to see me in this dress tonight. I want you to be surprised." "Alright. But it better be good if you don't want me to see it yet!" "It is." Lizzie smiled. Lizzie got out of the dress and changed back to her clothes. She went to pay for it, and decided it was still early. They went to the food court and they bought a pretzel to share, and walked around the mall. Lizzie stopped by a few stores to buy accessories and then waited for Jo to pick them up. They dropped Gordo off at his house so that he could get ready, and then headed home. "Let me see what dress you got, Lizzie." Jo suggested. "No, not yet, Mom. I want everyone to be surprised." Lizzie said. "Oh Ok. Well, then I guess I'll have to wait." ----Later that day---- Lizzie got ready for the party. She took another shower, dried her hair, and curled it. She put on her dress and shoes, and then finally, put on her make-up. "LIZZIE! GORDO'S HERE!" Jo called from the bottom of the stairs. "OK MOM, I'LL BE RIGHT THERE." Lizzie answered. She took a final look at herself and smiled. It's perfect. Gordo will be blown away. She walked down the stairs and saw Gordo with his mouth fall open when he saw her. Her dress was a red halter dress that was cut off asymmetrical at her knees, and a slightly revealing neckline. "W-Wow! Y-You look, you look amazing." Gordo stuttered. "Thanks, I'm glad you like it!" Lizzie giggled. "Lizzie! You look beautiful! That dress looks really great on you." Jo said. Just then, Sam and Matt walked in. "Oh, hello dear sister, you look amazingly dreadful tonight." Matt said. Sam bumped his hand to his son's head and smiled at Lizzie. "You look great, honey. Your mom told me about the party. Have fun."
"Thanks, Dad." Lizzie smiled.
"Do you two need a ride there?" Jo asked. "No, that's ok, Mom. Kate's house is just a few blocks away. We'll be fine." "Alright. Have fun, and be safe!" Jo advised. "We will, Mrs. McGuire. Thanks. Bye." Gordo said. "Bye." Said Lizzie. They left the house and started walking. "Lizzie, you really look amazing tonight. I thought I'd be surprised, but I'm more than surprised. I'm astounded. You look so gorgeous." Gordo complimented. "Thanks," She said and gave him a kiss on the cheek, "You don't look so bad yourself." Gordo smiled. He was wearing a black suit and tie and really looked amazing himself. The two walked to Kate's house and knocked on the door. "Oh yeah, Gordo? I don't wanna tell them yet. I wanna keep it a secret first. It's fun knowing something they don't." Lizzie giggled. "Ok, but when do you wanna tell them." He asked. "When the time's right." She smiled. They waited at the door for a few seconds. "Hmm, that's funny. Where are they?" Gordo questioned. "Oh, yeah. I think Kate said it was supposed to be in her backyard." They walked to the backyard and found a table next to the pool. On the table were two candles, two plates set, and two roses in a vase. "Why is this set for only two people?" Lizzie asked. Just as she finished her sentence, the maitre'd, Larry arrived, wearing a white suit. "Dinner for two?" He asked. "Larry, what is going on?" Gordo asked. "I'll show you two to your table." Was all he said. They followed, still wondering what was going on, and Larry sat them down. "Here are the menus, what would you like to drink?" "Larry! What are you doing?" Lizzie said quickly, and angrily. "I'm sorry, we don't serve that drink. We serve only non-alcoholic. I prefer Pepsi or Sprite." He said nonchalantly as if he wasn't trying to be funny. "Larry, where is everyone else?" Lizzie asked. "I'll have a Pepsi, please." Gordo asked. "Gordo!" Lizzie exclaimed. "What? I'm thirsty!" Gordo explained. "Ugh," "And the lady?" Larry asked. She sighed and gave up. "I'll have a Pepsi, also." "Thank you. Your waiter will be here any minute now. And by the way, madam, you look exceptionally well tonight. Spock would be proud." Larry said in his Larry way. "Gordo, do you know what the hell is going on?"
"Not a clue. But I am pretty hungry and this salmon is sounding pretty good." He said reading the menu that Kate made up. "Ugh, you're helpless." Ethan came over with their drinks and served it. "Yo! What's goin' on dude and dudette? Lizzie, you look fine as always! Love the dress! Have you guys, like, picked your dinner?" He asked. "I'd like the salmon special." Gordo ordered. "And the lovely lady?" "I'd like to know what's going on!" She said loudly. "Uh, I don't think that's on the menu. Is it?" He asked cluelessly. "I'll have the same." Lizzie finally gave up. "Word." He said. Ethan wrote it down and walked back inside the house. "Gordo. I think I know what's going on." Lizzie whispered. "What?" "I think they're trying to set us up." "But we're already together!" "Yeah, but they don't know that." "Ok, so what do we do now?" "Let's play a little game with them. Since they're trying to pull one on us." She smiled mischievously. "Sounds dangerous." Gordo joked. "Gordo." She smiled. "Here's my plan." She whispered to his ear what she was planning as Gordo nodded. ----Inside Kate's House---- "Aw! Look, Miranda! They're laughing. I knew this would work!" Kate smiled. "They look so cute together! And Lizzie's dress. Whoa, baby. Who knew she would pull something like that off? She looks great!" Miranda exclaimed. "Yeah, that dress is amazing." Kate said as the two girls squealed. "I better go make their salmons before they come in here looking for their food." "Yeah, and I'll go and play their romantic music." Miranda said excitedly. The two walked off, not knowing that there was another plan in the works, which was set for them.
