Have Yourself A Merry Little
Christmas

CHAPTER 1

Five Minutes to Freedom

Five, four, three, two, it was last period and Lizzie McGuire and her best friends, Gordo and Miranda, are waiting for the bell to ring so they'll be free, ONE.

"Finally," said Lizzie, "free for sixteen wonderful days."

"I know," said Miranda "I love Christmas brake."

"So do I," said Gordo, "even though I'm Jewish I still like getting out of school for a couple of weeks.

"Gordo," said Lizzie, "you know that your family celebrates Christmas with us every year."

"True," said Gordo, "so what do you guy's want to do on our first free night,"

"Why don't we go to the mall and movies," suggested Lizzie.

"Fine with me," said Miranda.

"Me too," said Gordo.

"Oh yeah," said Miranda, "I'll only go if both of you don't get all mushy, I hate that."

"Miranda," said Lizzie falling into Gordo's arms "I can't resist."

"I'm glad you two are together," said Miranda, "but now I have know one to talk about Ethan with."

"I still don't see what you see in him," said Gordo.

"Hay," said Lizzie smacking him in the head.

"I wasn't talking to you," said Gordo.

"Oh sorry," said Lizzie

Latter when Lizzie, Gordo, and Miranda were at the mall they were looking at cloths, music and other things when Lizzie saw the most beautiful necklace she could imagine.

"Wow," said Lizzie looking in the store window.

"What is it," asked Miranda and Gordo walking up to the store.

"That necklace it's beautiful," said Lizzie looking at the sapphire necklace cut into the shape of a heart suspended from a fragile silver chain.

"Lizzie have you seen the price," said Miranda pointing to the price tag.

" Wow," said Lizzie looking at the price, seventy dollars, "there is no way I could afford that on what my parents give me."

"Come on lets go," said Miranda

"Aright," said Lizzie walking away from the jewelry store disappointed.

"So," said Gordo looking at Lizzie's sad face, "what movie do you guy's want to see."

"Anything is fine with me," said Lizzie a little more cheered up now.

"Me to," said Miranda, "but if we are all going there will be no making out between the two of you."

"Fine," said Lizzie "I'll suffer."
