Hello.....well, I wouldn't be suprised if everyone forgot about this story!! I know I did! But

because I don't really want to continue with this, I'm just going to post the rest of the

chapters at once so I can be done with it....oh by the way, I have a site now! Please go to

http://www.freewebs.com/whit_whit and sign the guestbook! Okay, now...here is the *LONG* awaited

chapters to "On Our Way To Rome".......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lizzie was still kind of in a daze after that kiss, but she knew that she had to say *something*.

She searched for her words in silence.....

"I really like you too Gordo..." Lizzie replied to him.

Short, yet...to the point.

"So...." Gordo started.

"So...." Lizzie said right back to him.

"Um, so do we go out now, or...what?" Gordo asked.

Lizzie sighed.

"Well you know....you sorta, kinda have to *ask* me first." Lizzie said with a sarcastic smile.

"Oh yeah, ahem...Lizzie, will you go out with me?" Gordo asked her.

"Well, I dunno now...you know...it took you so long to ask me, so I just don't know if-" Lizzie

of course was just kidding, but she was interupted by Gordo's lips on hers. Soon, they parted

yet again.

"Okay." Lizzie said in reply to Gordo's last question.

"I thought so...." Gordo said with a laugh.

For a moment they just sat there, soaking in what had just happened. The silence was broken by

Gordo looking over at her, before he called her name.

"Lizzie..." Gordo said quietly.

"Yeah?" Lizzie replied.

Gordo didn't say anything. All he did was taker her right hand, with his left, and gently laced

their fingers. They sat like that for the rest of the plane ride. Until finally, they were forced

to let go when they got off the plane, and carried their luggage.

They were finally there...Rome...and to Lizzie, it was just *so* romantic! She couldn't take

her eyes off the scenery, and of course Gordo.

Miranda was so happy to see them together. But also just a little worried...from now on, she'd

probably feel like a third-wheel. They'd always be kissing, holding hands, and all of that

boyfriend/girlfriend stuff....and she'd have to watch it. It was official. She needed a boyfriend.

But who? There was one person to ask this question to: Lizzie.

"Hey Lizzie, can I talk to you for a sec?" Miranda asked her.

"Sure!" she said as she giggled, and hesitantly let go of Gordo's hand.

Miranda sighed.

"What's up?" Lizzie said in the most perky voice you had ever heard.

"Well...I have a problem. I want...no, *need* a boyfriend! If I'm gonna hang out with you and

Gordo, I'm gonna need a boyfriend." Miranda said.

"Miranda...you don't need a boyfriend just to hang out with me and Gordo! We're your friends!!"

"Yeah, I know, but I want one. You think you can try helping me get one?" Miranda asked.

"Sure....why not?" Lizzie replied.

Lizzie started back to Gordo..

"Hey Gordo, um, I hate to do this and all, but I think me and Miranda need some girl time...she's

really bummed...you know, not having a boyfriend in like, the most romantic City in the world. Do

you mind if we hang out for a few hours?" Lizzie asked Gordo.

"Sure, take all the time you need...I wanna explore too, so we'll meet up in a few hours, okay?"

"It's a date." Lizzie said as she smiled, and went back to Miranda.

"Okay Miranda. For the next few hours, it's just gonna be you and me.....looking for guys, and

exploring this beautiful city!" Lizzie exclaimed.

"But I thought you'd wanna be with Gordo...this is totally romantic and all..." Miranda said.

"Well, I wanted to help you first, besides, Gordo understands! Now lets find you a boyfriend!"

Lizzie replied.

"It's gonna be kind of hard for Sanchez, don't you think?" a voice said from behind them.

They turned around....Kate. Before she could say anything else, Lizzie silenced her.

"Save it for someone who actually *cares* what you say.....oh, and good luck finding someone who

does." Lizzie said as she pulled Miranda out the hotel door.

Kate just stood there in shock that someone had actually stood up to her...not to mention told

her off.

"Lizzie...how did you do that?!" Miranda asked her, also in shock.

"I don't know.....but I'm sick of her trying to destroy our lives. This year is different. I don't

care what she thinks....and I'm gonna let her know that too." Lizzie replied.

"I think it's Gordo...and if it is, then you should have gone out with him a *long* time ago."

Miranda smirked.

Lizzie just rolled her eyes playfully in return.

Luckily, Miss Ungermeyer gave them three hours of free time to do whatever they wanted.

And during that three hours, they were going to find Miranda a boyfriend.....or at least that's

what Lizzie hoped......
