Okay, so I got a flood of reveiws telling me to hurry up and update. So here you go--oh, sorry I

didn't sooner, but I had that stupid flu...yuck. Alright, so here it is.....

Oh! One more thing! Me and my really good friend Nicole are co-writing a story together. Okay, so,

it's mostly hers...but I'm doing a chapter here and there, so check it out! It's called

"Lizzie's Diary".

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

It was the first day of the two-week trip to Rome....and Gordo was pumped! Well, he was mostly

excited because he'd have Lizzie to share it with...as his *girlfriend*. This was gonna be

the best two weeks ever!

Unfortunatly, when they had gotten there, Lizzie told him that she needed some "bonding" time

with Miranda. No biggie...but he had wished that he could spend that time with her. Oh well. He

decided he would spend that time sight seeing by him self.

That is, until he was fixing to walk out the door.....

"Mr. Gordon, just where do you think you're going?" Ms. Ungermeyer asked him.

"Um..just sight-seeing.." Gordo answered bluntly.

"Yeah, well, not alone. You have to have someone with you. Fortunatly someone else is looking

for a travel buddy too." Ms Ungermeyer informed him.

"Who?" he sighed.

"Mr. Craft! I found you a travel buddy! Get over here!" Ms Ungermeyer said to Ethan as he walked

towards the two of them.

'Oh, you have to be kidding me..' Gordo thought.

"Fine. Let's go Ethan." Gordo said.

It's not that he didn't like Ethan, but since he was just a *little* smarter, Ethan kinda got in

the way at times.

"That's cool with me brotha-dude." Ethan said as he followed Gordo.

This was going to be very interesting.....

Meanwhile, Miranda and Lizzie were at the Trevi Fountain also sight seeing....for guys of course.

"Oh, look at him!" Lizzie said as she nudged Miranda pointing to an Italian boy.

"Um...nah, too...um, too....unbelieveably perfect." Miranda said as she sighed.

"Okay! Then let's go talk to him!" Lizzie said as she took Miranda's arm and pulled her towards

him. She wasn't budging.

"No. This is silly Lizzie. I'm not gonna find a boyfriend by just looking for cute guys on the

streets of Rome. Trust me. It's not gonna happen." Miranda said.

"C'mon...it'll be alright!" Lizzie said still pulling her best friend...she was moving this time!

Lizzie and Miranda walked through the crowds as they looked for the boy.

Just then coins, lipgloss, and everything in Miranda's purse went flying everywhere when she

bumped into someone.

"Oh, I'm sorry I wasn't watching where I was going." the boy said as he began to pick up the

things on the ground.

"That's alright, it's my fault. I was just-" Miranda stopped. She had just bumped into this

amazingly gorgeous guy.

He also looked up and smiled.

"Hi..." Miranda said as she blushed.

"Hi..." the boy said as he looked down from embarassment.

"I'm Miranda."

"I'm Paolo."

Lizzie just watched the two, and held in her screams of excitment.

"Gordo dude, can we like, go get some of that ice cream stuff? I'm hungry yo." Ethan complained

as Gordo walked with his tour guide in hand.

"Ethan, can I ask you something?" Gordo said frusterated.

"What's up dawg?" Ethan said in reply.

"Why aren't you with Kate?" Gordo said bluntly.

"Oh...her. Well see, we kind of broke up. It was wicked sad. I miss her so much." Ethan said as

he held his head down.

"You miss her? Why?" Gordo laughed.

"I don't know. I mean, I know she's like...totally into herself and all. But there's just like

something about her...that I can't explain. Ya know?" Ethan said.

"Yeah...I do know...I'll tell you what. I'll try and help you out with Kate, if you please be

cooperative with the tour we're going on. Oh, and we'll get that 'icecream stuff' too." Gordo

reasoned.

"Deal." Ethan said as they shook hands.

This was going to be hard. Gordo thought how he would get them back together, and soon figured

out that he'd need Lizzie's help too.
