The Weekend

"What?" Lizzie asked.

"Where should I sleep tonight?" Gordo asked again. Lizzie looked confused. Gordo explained, "Well, I know this is going to sound crazy, but the cameras make me feel really uneasy, and I don't know where you want me to sleep."

"I don't know. You pick. Where would you feel comfortable sleeping?" Lizzie asked.

"Well, that is Louis' bed over there, right?" Gordo asked curiously.

"Yeah. Why?"

"Are the sheets clean?"

"I don't know. We do our own laundry," Lizzie said.

"Well," Gordo started as he started to sit up. "Do you have any blankets?"

"Where are you going to sleep?"

"I guess I will sleep on the sofa," Gordo said.

"No, don't sleep there!"

"Why not?"

"Look, this is a crazy conversation. We are best friends- we are adults and we know nothing is going to happen. If you don't have a problem with it, why don't you just sleep in my bed?" Lizzie suggested.

"With you?" Gordo's asked nervously as his voice cracked.

"Why not?" Lizzie said calmly. "We are best friends and it is not like we are going to have sex."

"But still," Gordo started, "What about the cameras?"

"What cameras? You get used to them being here and what are they going to do? Film us sleeping in the same bed? Gasp! Let me tell you, a lot of much more interesting things happen in other beds that will make a lot more interesting television," Lizzie pointed out.

Gordo thought about it and gave in. Lizzie scooted over to one half of the bed while Gordo climbed in and occupied the other half. Gordo turned out the light, and pretty soon they were both asleep with their backs turned against each other.

In the morning, Lizzie woke up to the sound of the front door opening. "Oh no," She thought, "Louis decided to come home early!" Lizzie looked over where Gordo should have been, but he wasn't there. Lizzie jumped out of bed only to be greeted by Gordo carrying a suitcase.

"Good morning," Gordo cheerily as he set the suitcase down.

"Hey. What is in there?" Lizzie said as she pointed to the suitcase.

"Oh, well, I got up about an hour and a half ago and I realized I didn't bring any clean clothes, so I borrowed the car and drove to pick some up. I hope I didn't worry you. How long have you been up?"

"Oh, I just got up. What time is it?"

"Ten."

"Oh," Lizzie said as she yawned, "So what do you want to do today?"

"Well, how much of New York have you seen since you've been here?" Gordo asked.

"Not too much. I mean with work and my roommates always coming up with some nightly activity, I guess I haven't seen a whole lot. What about you?"

"Not too much. I have been pretty busy myself with school and all, but I have been a few places," Gordo said.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" Lizzie asked.

"Well, if I had a girlfriend, I don't think I would have stayed with you this weekend."

"True."

"Anyway, today I think we should stop being sheltered and go see a part of New York. I looked it up and the weather outside is supposed to be clear, so I say we take the ferry and ride off to the Statue of Liberty. I mean, I say this assuming you have no other plans," Gordo said.

"No, that sounds like a good plan. I have always wanted to go there, so now I can say I have."

"Cool. Let's get some breakfast on the way and go," Gordo said.

"Okay."

Lizzie and Gordo were officially friends again. Lizzie could not wait to tell Miranda, who was surprised that they hadn't made up earlier.

Lizzie got out of her pajamas and dressed into some comfortable clothes.

Lizzie drove the van to a café where they ate breakfast, and by eleven, they were on their way to see the statue of Liberty.
