AN/ Sorry for the wait on this chapter! Enjoy! =D

Lizzie knew that it would be a while before she could get her mind clear, so that she could try to figure out the whole thing…try to piece together the puzzle.

So, she had told Gordo to meet her at the tree in an hour.

Thirty minutes had passed, and she was now pacing around in front of the mature apple tree.

She couldn't seem to think that way, so she picked a shiny, bright red apple from a low hanging branch, and sat down in the shade to do some serious thinking.

Lizzie's POV:

Ok, time to really think back on the past few days. Hmm. Well, first I got the note in my locker; then I got the locket; then came the poem; and then the letter…and through all of this, Gordo didn't seem that surprised about any of it. But, how this all fits in with Gordo coaching Ethan, is still a mystery to me. Well, maybe it will all make sense when Gordo gets here. This apple is delicious…

Her thinking followed this pattern for the next thirty minutes.

Gordo shuffled up with a guilty look on his face, exactly on time.

"Well?" Lizzie said, standing up and approaching him.

Gordo took a nervous breath before beginning.

"Well, it all started a few days ago when Ethan first came to talk to me." Gordo began.

He started playing with his hands and staring at his feet.

"And…" Lizzie urged him on.

"And, he told me that he liked you, and he wanted to do one of those secret admirer things to tell you. And I knew how much you liked him so I asked him what I could do to help him out. He said that he wasn't that good with words and that he didn't know how to put into words how he felt. So I wrote the letters for him…" Gordo chanced a look at Lizzie.

He hadn't thought it possible for some ones jaw to drop that far, but Lizzie had proven him wrong.

Since she had nothing to say apparently, he continued.

"And then, he said that he wanted you to know who it was, and would I write another letter for him asking you to meet him at The Digital Bean today. And since he isn't that good with words he wanted me to be there to tell him what to say. And that's when you found out." Gordo said.

Lizzie finally closed her mouth, "Is that it?"

"No, I have one more confession…the notes that I wrote for Ethan…well, that's really how I feel. I think that you're beautiful, and sweet, and kind. The truth is…I love you."

Lizzie's eyes grew as round as saucers.

Gordo gulped.

Gordo's POV:

Oh, no! I made a mistake. I shouldn't have told her! She's gonna hate me now!

Animated Lizzie:

He likes me! No, he LOVES me! Yes! I love you too, Gordo! Lizzie McGuire, tell him! Don't let him walk away not thinking that you love him too! Say it!

Lizzie inwardly screamed at herself.

Gordo was beginning to walk away.

She could feel tears building up behind her eyes.

Tell him!

"Gordo, WAIT!" Lizzie shouted.

"What?" he asked turning around and walking back to her.

"I love you too!" she cried.

"You do?"

"Yes! I really do! Please don't go!" Lizzie pleaded.

"I'm not going anywhere."

And with that, he pulled her to him and kissed her softly.

The End.
