Author's Note: Okay, so this took an obscenely long amount of time to get out. Please forgive me, and keep the rotten vegetables at bay! Avast! :)
hyuinn: Ohhh... you reviewed again? From the bestest little sister in the whole wide world, that means alot. (go-go picture commando ;) ) And any resemblance to '10 Things I Hate About You' is good, but definitely unintentional. Thanks, hon. :)
Donna: Yay! Yeah, I'm glad I finally got to that part. And I can't say I updated soon, but... er... here's another chapter. :)
BabyBunnie1: Thanks so much! I just love Lizzie and Gordo together. After all, Gordo wuv Lizzie, Lizzie wuv Gordo. :) I'm gonna try to continue this story, we'll see how it goes. If not, I'll try to find inspiration for another story. We will see where the wind takes me. (And really... it *did* take long enough for them to get together.)
ThatsMe: I'm glad you're liking it so much. :) Thanks!
MsJML: Wooh! I love that kind of reaction! :) I know what you mean, it took her long enough indeed! The characters really just lead me where they want, though I try to give them a nudge in the 'right' direction, y'know? Thanks so much!
Purplerks: That's a good idea, and I'll probably implement that when I go through and edit everything (you know, fix the little spelling mistakes or grammatical errors I find, things like that, so don't look for anything major!) :) Thanks for reading and the critique... I really appreciate it! And here's an update, even though it took forever.... :)
BethanyKatherine: hehehe... thanks! And by the way, I've just started reading My Fair Lady and I'm really enjoying it. Haven't put a review yet cuz I'm not finished with it, but make no mistake I will!
amanda: Hey, no problem chica! I love responding to you guys. (I think it gets me more reviews, anyways... hehehe...) Thanks again for reading my story. And I know what you mean... high school can be a killer. I remember when I started. And my little sister just started. Wow, I feel old now... geez.... ;)
I LOVE GORDO: I think you'll have a few dozen people fighting for that name.... :-D And as you can see, I've written more, but it took way too long.... ::sigh:: Ah, well, here it is. Enjoy! :)
DarkMuse2003: That is always an idea, and one I have been playing with. I need a plot to make it interesting, though, so I'm trying to work something out in my head. If I can't think of anything interesting, I'll just end the story with this chapter. I think it's an acceptable ending point, either way. :) And a spatula up the rear? Wooh, you don't mess around, do you? :)
starwatcher31: Thanks! Sorry for the long wait.... :)
cutechica06: Wow, thanks for the high praise! I hope I deserve it, even with the exceedingly sporadic updating. And I will check out your stories, believe you me! :)
RainGoddess: Well, here's another chapter, even though I didn't make it soon.... :) Wow, you've put my story in a binder? I feel all... warm and squishy inside... :)

"Kickboxing," Gordo stated, still unbelieving.
"Kickboxing," Lizzie affirmed. "You remember, right?" she asked with a smile.
"Shyah, but I didn't know Tae-Bo could teach you that!" Gordo exclaimed. Lizzie opened her mouth to reply, but stopped at a groan from Kevin's almost-comatose figure still lying on the ground. Lizzie and Gordo looked down.
"Erm.... Maaaaybe we should get going," Lizzie suggested sheepishly. Gordo nodded, grabbing her hand as they walked down the hallway away from Kevin, both trying to look casual as they glanced behind themselves every few feet, their walk becoming faster and faster until it broke into a full-fledged run....
~*~
Gordo and Lizzie kept running until they got to the parking lot, diving into Lizzie's car and speeding out of the parking lot.
"Whew," Lizzie breathed. With a smile, she glanced at Gordo and said, "Well, that was exhilarating, wasn't it?"
"You could say that," Gordo mumbled, still out of breath. Lizzie giggled.
"Oh c'mon, it was an adventure!" Lizzie exclaimed.
"It was kinda nice to see Kevin get his butt kicked," Gordo conceded.
"Kinda?" Lizzie asked, lifting an eyebrow.
"Really nice, then," Gordo said with a grin.
"Oh good," Lizzie said. "It was all for you anyway." Gordo smiled even wider.
"That's nice," he said softly, taking her hand as they continued driving. Lizzie glanced over and smiled back, making Gordo's heart thump a little faster. As they continued driving, Gordo mused that for once in his life, he really felt like he didn't have to hold anything back around Lizzie. Maybe that was the nicest thing of all.
Author's Note: Okay, I think this chapter was incredibly lame but I've kept you guys waiting for too long not to give a satisfying conclusion. Now, I might continue this story, and it really isn't a 'maybe' due to lack of support, it's a 'maybe' due to I-don't-know-how-to-continue-this-and-keep-it-interesting. So. Again, sorry for the lameness, but here it is. Hope you enjoy! :)
