The Night That Came and Went
^Some Unknown Place, Present Day^

"Hey! What's up, L? What is that you are watching?" A young man asked his friend.

"Nothing much. I am just watching my crystal ball," 'L' said as he took a sip of some liquid that looked very green.

"Oooh! Anything interesting to watch?" The friend asked as he took a seat next to his friend, eagerly looking at the screen.

"Ehh, I have seen better. The blonde girl is so clueless, though."

"Oh, Luke, always looking for excitement," the friend said as he looked back at the screen. "What is going on?"

"Well, Charlie, if you must know, this girl is one of the people I talked to on my last trip to Earth. She is nice, and a lot of what I have said is happening, but tonight is pivotal. Perhaps I should start at the beginning," Luke said and he told Charlie what he said to Lizzie McGuire, and Charlie listened intently.

"What is so important about tonight?" Charlie asked.

"Well, so far, her brother has had an accident, her friend Gordo, obsesses over her, and a friend is about to be in grave danger."

"Oh! Danger? What kind?"

"The most unexpected kind there is, Charlie, the most unexpected kind," Luke told Charlie. "Just watch."

^Lizzie's House, Present Day^

"Have you seen Miranda tonight?" the voice echoed in her ears. Her mind rushed through what could have happened. "Lizzie? Are you there?"

"Yes, I am sorry, Mr. Sanchez. I have not seen Miranda today. Have you tried calling Suki Robinson's? I think she might be there."

"Thank you so much, Lizzie," Mr. Sanchez said as he hung up the phone immediately.

As Lizzie turned her phone off, she tried to think of where Miranda could be. Almost immediately called Gordo, forgetting about the time.

"Hello?" Gordo's voice said on the other end. It was obvious that Lizzie had woken him up.

"Gordo? This is Lizzie and- "

"Lizzie? Hey! It is 2 in the morning! Why are you calling are you okay?"

"Oh, Gordo, I don't know! Mr. Sanchez just called and asked if I knew where Miranda was, which means she isn't home from the party. Gordo, what if she is hurt? Gordo- what if she is dead?" Lizzie squeaked as she started to cry.

"Lizzie, calm down! Miranda is a smart girl! Probably nothing happened to her. Just in case, I am coming over to pick you up and we will start to look for her. Okay?"

Lizzie nodded her head, as if Gordo could see her. "Okay. Please hurry, Gordo."

"I will be right over," Gordo said as he hung up the phone.

Lizzie woke her parents up to explain what was happening, and they got up and agreed to answer any phone calls. Five minutes later, Lizzie heard the doorbell ring, and she knew it was Gordo, and they left together.

They figured their first try should be Suki's house, so they went to that house, only no one seemed to be there, and the lights were all out. Gordo got out of the car anyway, and knocked on the door, and as he expected, no one answered.

After that house, they tried to think of people to call. The first person they could think of was Ethan. They called over to his house, and his step- mother answered the phone.

"Hello?" She said, tiredly.

"Hi, Mrs. Craft? This is Lizzie McGuire. May I please speak to Ethan?"

"Sure! Hold on," she said. She heard a few murmurs and then silence, and then they finally heard another phone pick up.

"Hello?" Ethan said groggily.

"Ethan. Hi, this is Lizzie. I am sorry to bother you but have you by any chance seen Miranda tonight?" Lizzie asked.

"Miranda? Um, I don't think so. Is she okay?"

"I don't know. Nobody can find her."

"That is not good. Can I help?"

"No, you don't have to help, just if you hear anything call me on my cell phone."

"Sure thing, Liz," Ethan said and he hung up.

Just as Lizzie hung up, her cell phone rang, and the number looked unfamiliar.

"Hello?"

"Hi. This is Sam Robinson from school."

"Who?" Lizzie asked as if she were annoyed.

"Sam Robinson. Maybe you know me. Some people call me Suki."

Suki. "Oh, hey, Suki," she said and she glanced at Gordo, who looked back at her.

"Hi. I got this number from Miranda's cell phone, and I figured perhaps you could pass this information on to her parents. Miranda is in the hospital right now."

"What? How?" Lizzie said, alarmed.
