bHey everyone! Yes, I'm back. It's been a while. Now, for this story, a
few things are a little different. One is that the only person who really,
really knows Gordo is Miranda. Otherwise, all of them really don't know
what he's like. Um, Pudge is a new character. She became best friends with
the gang a little after Rome. Lizzie's dad won a huge lottery jackpot so he
is now rich. Um, Gordo's dad owns a big field on which he grows tobacco.
Matt and Lizzie are NOT related. I repeat, they are NOT related. Also, this
takes place when all of them are just out of high school. This is their
last summer together. I got the idea for this story from IShag The
MovieI. Shag is a type of dance. The movie is kinda old, but I though the
characters would fit just perfectly.b
I don't own Lizzie McGuire or any of the characters from the show. Nor do I own Shag the Movie or any thing from there. So, in other words, this story isn't even mine. It's just me typing it...anyways..on with the story.
*~~* At the Pavilion *~~*
Pudge had just pulled up with Melina. Melina still had the same dress on and so did Pudge. Melina got out of the car.
"Are you coming in?" she asked.
"No, there's no point now. I have to get back. Lizzie will be angry."
"Well, thanks for the lift. I'll write you from California."
"OK. Good luck with Ethan Craft."
"Ethan Craft? Why, he's out of the picture."
"I'll miss you Melina."
"Me too." She said as she gave one last wave to Pudge.
Melina walked into the Pavilion and Pudge stayed in the car. Suddenly a car horn honked which caused Pudge to turn around. She discovered that Melina forgot her bag.
"Oh, Melina, you forgot..." but she was already out of hearing range.
Meanwhile, Melina had already found Ethan's manager and walked up to him with as much confidence as possible. She sat down next to him and pulled out a cigarette. He pulled out a lighter to light it.
"Where have I seen you before?" he said.
"Maybe in one of your better dreams." She said.
Pudge had walked in trying to find Melina. What she did find, however was much better. She saw Chip leaning against a pillar. His feet were moving to the song and she smiled. He looked miserable. She knew what she had to do.
*~~* Later *~~*
Chip was sitting watching couple number one do their routine. He wished Pudge was there. Then, out of nowhere:
"Hey Rocky, want to see me pull a rabbit out of my hat?" she said. This caused him to turn around.
She revealed to him two buttons that said 12 on there. She had entered them in the contest.
"You came back." He said.
She smiled as they both leaned in for a kiss. He then gave her a big hug. They made their way up to the front so they could watch. Melina spotted them.
"Pudge!" she mouthed to her. Pudge waved and Melina crossed her fingers.
"And next, the popular Jack and Eddie Stroors from Georgetown," said the announcer.
"Who's that old couple?" asked Pudge.
"They're famous. They're varsity. They win every year," said Chip.
"Well, not this year," said Pudge as she smiled.
Little did they know that they were being looked at.
"Jo, that young man there," said Sam as he looked at Chip. "Isn't he our driver?"
"Yes. Isn't that girl like Pudge?" she asked.
"Ah, Cintas," said Sam as he looked down the list of the contestants. She must be Olivia and Angelo's daughter."
"No way! She's pretty. Pudge is fat."
The old couple finished their turn dancing. Everyone applauded. "Way to go varsity!" yelled Pudge.
"Now up: Nadine Thatcher and Bob Conway from Myrtle Beach," said the announcer.
UP walked Nadine with Bob. She passed by Pudge. Now, her and Pudge had not really had good relations in the past.
"Move it fat ass," said Nadine as she walked past Pudge.
"Go play in the traffic, bitch," said Chip. Big Bob just sized himself up to Chip.
Bob and Nadine did a rather disturbing routine. Let's just say it was very adulterated.
Just then, Melina and her manager walked up. "An associate of mine is putting together kind of a teen thing- you know, music, dance...he calls it a shindig. I think you got something kid. Kind of like a Mona Lisa quality." He said.
"You really think so?" she asked smiling.
"Oh yeah." He said.
Melina had just walked up to Pudge. "We're rooting for you Pudge...and Chip."
"Thank you." They both said.
"Melina, is everything ok?" asked Pudge
"I'm having the most fun."
Just then, Jo caught a sight of Melina. Only, she had no idea it was she. It was the dress on Melina that pulled Jo's attention. It looked just like one of hers. She shrugged it off.
*~~* Outside *~~*
Lizzie, Gordo, Matt, and Miranda are all driving looking for Lizzie's mom's car.
"Does anybody see the car?" asked Lizzie.
"No, I don't see it," said Gordo.
"Ok, let's try the other parking lot." She said.
Then, suddenly, Lizzie yelled. "STOP!"
She got out of the car and looked towards the beach. Sure enough, there was the car. It was just stuck in the sand.
*~~* Back Inside *~~*
"Finally, couple number 12. Heidi Cintas and Chip Gulliyard," said the announcer.
Chip and Pudge walked out onto the dance floor. They both smiled and got in the start position of their dance routine. They started. It was one of the best dance routines the judges had seen in a while.
Outside, Miranda, Matt, Lizzie, and Gordo were running to the entrance. Gordo was holding Lizzie's hand and Miranda was holding Matt's. They stopped for a second, switched people so Miranda was holding Gordo's and Lizzie was holding Matt's and then continued on. They were all about to run in when Lizzie stopped them.
"Now, don't go in there!" she said as she found her parents. "They're already here. We have to think of a lie."
"Hey look everybody!" yelled Miranda. "There's Pudge!"
"And Chip!" added Matt.
Pudge and Chip continued their incredible dance routine with smiles. Matt held onto Miranda as she jumped up and down with excitement for Pudge. The music faded and Pudge and Chip hugged in the middle of the dance floor. Miranda screamed and hugged Lizzie who was also screaming. Melina, who was with Ethan's manager, also smiled with delight. Jo and Sam were putting down the score for the performance. Nadine was right behind them with Kate, who was right behind Ethan. He too was judging.
"A ten?" said Nadine. "Excuse me, a ten? Are you sure?"
Miranda wanted to run out on the dance floor to congratulate Pudge. She started but Lizzie stopped her.
"Lizzie!" she yelled.
"Come back! They'll see you!" yelled Lizzie.
"Lizzie, what does it matter? Your mom and dad obviously know Pudge."
"I'm going to tell them that she went crazy. And that she ran off from us. And we didn't know what to do. So we called the police. And the police tracked her here to Myrtle Beach."
"Lizzie, why don't we just go up there and say 'this was our last weekend together and we didn't feel like going to Fort Sumter and touring God- damned colonial homes!" said Miranda getting loud. "'We wanted to go to the beach, and meet boys, and go to wild parties, and dance.' I mean why can't we tell them the truth?" said Miranda as Matt nodded his head in approval.
"I'll tell my parents the truth, when you tell Gordo the truth," said Lizzie suddenly looking very serious.
Miranda turned around to face Gordo who had a questioning look on his face.
"I can't marry you Gordo." She said giving him his ring back. "I'm in love with Matt," said Miranda a little unstably.
"They...they went all the way!" said Lizzie.
Miranda turned around to give her a death glare. Matt looked at Gordo and shrugged. Gordo went to punch him but Matt ducked which caused Gordo to break the mirror that was behind Matt.
"Son of a bitch!" yelled Gordo as Lizzie went to comfort him.
"The winners of the 2003 Sun Fun dance contest..." said the announcer. "Couple number 12!"
Chip hugged Pudge and she hugged him back as they went out onto the dance floor to receive their trophies. He spun her around in the air. They walked up to the judges. Ethan Craft handed them the trophies.
"Now that was the *most* fun," he said.
"They were awful!" whined Nadine to Kate who just rolled her eyes.
*~~* Back at the house *~~*
Lizzie's parents weren't too upset with the whole thing. In fact, they even threw the girls a 'going away' party. Every one was there.
Gordo, Lizzie, and Lizzie's mom were all standing together.
"Of course, the girls had their hearts set on Fort Sumter but I pleaded with them. I said 'you all should come down to Myrtle Beach. We can surprise your parents."
"Well I'm glad you did," said Jo.
*~~* Melina and the manager *~~*
A maid had just walked up to Melina with a tray of pastries. Melina reached for one.
"Uh-uh," said the manager. "Here." He said holding out an apple.
She frowned. "I don't like apples."
*~~* Pudge and Chip *~~*
"So, after basic training is done, I want to get commissioned for Camp Pendleton," said Chip.
"Where's that?" asked Pudge.
"California. And from there, I can go anywhere."
Pudge nodded approvingly.
*~~* Lizzie and Gordo *~~*
"Gordo, I've always disapproved of tobacco use," said Lizzie nervously. She was afraid that he would get upset what with his dad owning a tobacco company and all.
"To tell you the truth, so have I," he said.
*~~* Matt and Melina *~~*
"You don't own anything like a winter coat, do you?" asked Matt.
"I might," said Miranda as she smiled mischievously.
"It gets cold in New Haven at Thanksgiving," he said.
"Now, why would I want to go to New Haven?" she asked still smiling mischievously.
She reached for a beer and held one out to him. "Beer?" she asked as she started to laugh.
