It's Your Turn To Win
Summary: "It's your turn to win." Those words remained etched into Lizzie's mind. Now, with another murder mystery party approaching, Lizzie's determined to show Gordo that the feelings for one another are mutual.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Lizzie McGuire characters. All of them were created by Disney except maybe Ethan's dad. I don't think Disney ever stated what his name was so for my sake let's just leave him as Mr. Craft. The idea is mine too. I've never seen another story with my exact plot nor am I willing to search through 60 some pages for any story of this nature. Therefore, I'm claiming this idea as mine own.
Author's Note: Miranda is still absent from this "episode" due to yet ANOTHER illness. Hey, at least it's more reasonable then spending like a year in Mexico or at her grandma's. I mean will she ever come home?! Lol. Warning I'm a big L/G shipper so don't read if your not a big fan of fluff between the two. Also, the movie never happened and this is taking place sometime in ninth grade so um yea I think that's all you need to know so moving on with the story.
"Yo Gordon!" Ethan's voice penetrated the hallway as every girl gave out a disappointed sigh, hoping that he would be calling for one of them instead. Just about the only thing that didn't come to a halt at the sudden presence of Ethan Craft was David Gordon. In fact, he'd rather be just about anywhere but next to Ethan at the moment, who in Gordo's mind was as dimwitted as they come. Unfortunately, by having the whole hallway stare at him Gordo had no choice but to acknowledge Ethan's presence.
"Um. Hey Ethan.What's up?" Gordo's face plastered with a pained expression as he tried to dramatically lower his IQ for at least a few moments.
"Dude I have a favor to ask of you. I was thinking of throwing another one of those murder mystery party things. And my party plans were proceeding with fineness until Tawny broke the bad news to me. Apparently the last time they gasified my house for the bugs it didn't kill them. Instead, it attracted more bugs to the house so they have to try again. Anyways I didn't want to impose on Lizzie a second time although her brother is so totally awesome. I love that little guy! So I was hoping you would be willing to lend me your non-gasified house for a day to throw my party?"
Up until Lizzie's name Gordo had found the conversation well.... actually he hadn't really been paying attention at all but suddenly his interest peaked. "Whoa wait! Did you say Lizzie?"
"Yea and Kate and her cousin and Veruca and the Tudge... all the people that were invited last time ya know?"
"Yea yea of course," Gordo mumbled under his breath, still contemplating whether or not to accept. Suddenly Lizzie comes skipping down the hallway with her glistening lips in an enthusiastic grin.
"Oh my gosh guess what! I GOT AN A ON MY MATH TEST!" Lizzie shouted much louder then need be for the close proximity of her congratulating audience. "And I couldn't have done it without you Gordo! All the time you spent studying with me really paid off!" She quickly leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, a friendly habit she had gotten into starting with the eighth grade class photo. She claimed it meant nothing but every time she would kiss Gordo it meant the world to him.
Ethan proceeded to tell Lizzie about the party plans while Gordo still remained in a daze from the kiss. It amazed him that a friendly gesture like that could become even more perfect and wonderful each and every time. Her kiss always had a stunning affect on him that would send chills up and down his spine and make him forget all that was wrong in the world. "Oh my gosh that sounds like so much fun! So are you going to host the party Gordo?" Lizzie's ecstatic angelic voice swept through Gordo's daydream and snapped him back into reality. She looked at him with the sad puppy dog eyes that worked magic when wanting to get her way. She knew that she would have to make them extra sad in order to get Gordo to agree. After all, they had been best friends forever and she knew his gut instinct would be to say no to anything Ethan Craft asks.
"Well..." Gordo wasn't fooled for a minute by her puppy dog eyes. But it wasn't the sad look that made him consider the idea. It was the thought of seeing her happy again, jumping up and down, shouting excited phrases, and maybe, just maybe giving him a kiss on the cheek. "Why not? I'll do it!"
"Oh thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!" Lizzie exclaimed with happiness bouncing around in her hazel eyes. She ran over and embraced him in a big hug sending yet another wave of chills down Gordo's back before taking off towards the library.
"Righteous! I don't know how I'll ever repay you dude. Here's the list of things you need to have ready at your house. Spread the word to everybody that the party is this Friday at 7 and everyone is the same character that they were last time. See ya!" Ethan marched out the nearest exit into the courtyard where he managed to walk a good 20 yards before running into a pole.
Normally Gordo would have laughed at the site but he couldn't help touching his cheek where he had hoped to receive another kiss. Suddenly, he was tackled from behind by a mass of blonde hair, nearly knocking him to the floor. There she was, squeezing him so tight he was having difficulty breathing, yet he didn't seem to mind. "Thanks again Gordo!" Lizzie said, getting an even tighter grip around her best friend.
Gordo was glad she couldn't see his face because he was sure it was bright red, either from blushing or lack of oxygen. "No problem. Besides, it's your turn to win." Gordo said, quoting himself from last year's extravaganza.
Lizzie loosened her grip, stepped back, and flashed him another hundred watt smile. "You remembered!" Almost instantly Gordo felt her lips on his cheek once again although she seemed to linger on a bit longer for this one, not that Gordo complained. As quick as she had kissed him, she was gone.
Gordo noticed he was now alone in the empty hallway and smiled to himself. "Yea, it's your turn to win."
Author's Note: Enjoy? 5 reviews and I update. I'm going on vacation 'till Sunday so it'll be a few days till my next update, assuming I get the reviews! I know it's a bit bland right now but I think you'll enjoy the rest of the story. I have a lot of it planned out already so I know where I'm going with it. The party will start next chapter most likely. If not, then chapter 3. The chapters will be a bit longer too I promise. Each one will have at least 1,000 words. Either way. 5 REVIEWS OR NO UPDATES!
