~Always and Forever~
Disclaimer: Do I really have too? But I dun wanna.
"Yo Lizzie? Oh I came to see Lizzie, is she here?" Ethan asked from the doorway. I laughed and walked out the door closing it behind me.
"It is me Ethan, don't be silly." I said, turning around so he could see it was me, and if he needed any more convincing he got it because at that moment I lost my balance and fell into his arms.
"Woah, you all right?" he asked, steadying me again. How embarrassing! Gordo had probably seen that from my lounge room window. He told me that he had been invited over by Matt to have a video night. Personally, I think he's insane for willingly spending time with my brother. But hey what can you do?
"Yeah, I'm fine thanks Ethan, lets just go yeah?" I asked, trying to cover my clumsiness.
We walked out to the street where this beautiful white limo was parked. I was all set to admire and walk past when Ethan held open a door for me.
"We're.going in that?" I asked, totally astounded.
"Well, sure. But if you don't want to we don't have too." He said, about to close the door again.
"No no! I mean, I'd love to go in that. I just never dreamed that we would be going out to Spaghetti and a movie in a limo! I said controlling a squeal as it threatened to bubble up from my throat. I wished that everyone could see me right now. It would send me on the way to popularity for sure!
Ethan held the door and I climbed in then he followed me in, pulling the door shut behind him. The limo ride didn't last nearly long enough, the way I saw it but once we got to the restaurant the ride was completely out of my head. We had been brought to Linguini's the new Spaghetti restaurant in town. I laughed slightly at the hungry look on Ethan's face. He grabbed me by the hand and pulled me inside. We chose a table by the window, so that we could look outside at the beautiful garden out there with fairy lights sprinkled here and there.
Ethan seemed to know what he wanted straight away so I looked down at the Menu as he waited for a waiter to come over to us. Everything and I mean everything had at least some form of pasta spaghetti in it. I had to bite my lip to stop laughing. Trust Ethan to love a place like this. If he ever tries to take me here for breakfast, I will draw the line. Soon enough the waiter (Mitchell) walked up to our table.
"Ahh Ethan, back again I see? This time with a lovely lady I see?"
"One of the loveliest." Ethan said flashing a grin at me. "I'll have the Spaghetti and Meatballs." Ethan said with relish.
I glanced down at my Menu again, and looked back to the waiter.
"Uh what do you suggest? I asked, having no clue what half the fancy names even meant.
"Personally I recommend the Spaghetti Platter." He said smiling gently at me. I feel so out of place here!
"Well I'll have that then thank you." I said, putting my Menu back on the table.
"I will be back with your meals soon." Mitchell said snootily. Someone like this liked Ethan?

"Penny for your thoughts Ethan?" I said looking across at him. We had finished dinner about an hour ago and had relocated to out side to the lovely garden. Ethan had been leaning on the railing with me and had stopped talking about how amazing Spaghetti was about twenty minutes ago. I didn't really mind, I had been thinking too about different things and hadn't really noticed how quiet it was.
"Hmm? Oh, just thinking." I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. It wouldn't be very polite if I did.
"Yeah.what about if you don't mind me asking?" I prodded gently.
"Just this girl." He said. then seemed to realise that he was talking to his date about a girl who definitely wasn't her. "I mean." he seemed to be searching frantically for the right thing to say. Me? I was relieved, least I knew that he didn't have a crush on me if he was thinking about another girl whilst on a date with me.
"Go ahead Ethan, I know you don't like me it's ok, because. Well I don't really like you that way either." I said, trying to be nice about it but having it come out all wrong anyway, but he seemed to understand.
"Ok. Well this girl, I've known her for a long time but I don't think she knows it. We did try dating once but id didn't work out and now I think that she may possibly hate me. I know it didn't work then but I really care about her and want to give it another go but I don't know how to tell her." He said looking hopeless.
"I don't know who she is but I do know that any girl would be crazy to turn you down for a date.so why don't you ask her out like you did me? Why did you ask me out by the way if you didn't like me?" I asked, I didn't mean to turn this around to be about me but I wanted to know.
"Don't be mad.but I thought that asking you out might make her jealous and then she'd want to give things another go. " he grinned sheepishly at me. I smiled back. I put a comforting arm on his shoulders and looked in the same direction that he had taken to staring at and said the first thing that came to my mind:
"Ethan, I don't know what this girl is like, but I say follow you're heart and do what you think it best. It will all work out in the end, I'm sure." Actually I wasn't sure, but I find that when someone says those words to me, then everything turns out all right.
He turned to look at me and stood up fully and hugged me.
"Thanks Lizzie McGuire. You rock." I hugged him back, dimly thinking about how amazing this would have been a few years ago. On the plus side if dinner hadn't been that amazing, I had made myself a true friend. Even if it was Ethan "perfect hair" Craft.

"I'm sorry about the movie Lizzie, you don't mind that we blew it off do you?" Ethan asked from the back seat of the limo as it pulled up to the curb outside my house.
"Not at all, in fact that Spaghetti filled me up, I don't think I could eat popcorn too!" I said laughing.
"Cool, I'm glad you're not miffed. It's just I wanna sort out how I'm gonna get my lady and It's gonna take a while. Just for the record, can we not tell anyone cool that we didn't finish our date? It wouldn't look good on my dating resume." He said scratching his chin thoughtfully. I laughed and waved good night.
"No problem Ethan. Consider it done." I walked up to the front of my house and let myself in.
"Take that!" I heard Matt yell to someone. I stuck my head around the corner to see him and Gordo sitting on the couch with a bowl of popcorn between them, eyes glued to the TV screen. I grinned and sat down between them, putting the bowl on my lap.
"Woah!" Gordo said as he brushed against my arm, reaching for the popcorn. He clicked the light on beside him to look at me.
"Man Lizzie, don't do that!"
"Do what? Come into my house and sit on my couch and eat the popcorn that probably belongs to me to some degree?"
"Shut up." He said, flicking a piece of popcorn at me. Soon it was an all out war of popcorn flying everywhere. I was laughing so hard that I could barely breathe and I fell sideways onto Gordo and he started tickling me, which made it even worse.
"Gordo no! Come on, I had Spaghetti for tea. I've already seen it, I do not wish to see it again." I said gulping for air.
"Good point," he said straightening up "So how was your date with Prince Ethan?" he asked, seemingly interested.
"It was.interesting."
"What? No details?" he asked gasping in surprise. I poked my tongue out at him and put a handful of popcorn down his shirt.

For chapters and I have two reviewers. How sad lol. Why is it that no one seems to like my Lizzie stories until I've nearly finished posting them?!
