AN: Today was so awesome! I saw like all these stars and was so close to
all of them. Anyway, this chapter seems kind of filler-y but it becomes
important later on.

Statue of Liberty
The ferry they went on somehow put them with a lot of old people on a trip to New York from Oregon. Since Lizzie and Gordo were by far the youngest people there and didn't know anyone, they tried to stick together. They were looking out at the water when all the sudden, they heard voices to the right of them from an old pair of ladies.
"Oh, Edna, look at those two! You know, I remember my first love. It was with Martin Percy and we were in college," one of them said.
Gordo and Lizzie both heard her, and tried to hold back their laughter. "Let's play along," Gordo murmured. Lizzie nodded her head lightly.
"College? I met my one and only love of my life in preschool," Edna responded.
"You liar!" the other one said.
"Am not! I married him, too."
"Sure you did, Eddy. I wonder why that camera is there. You think this is their Honeymoon or something? I mean, kids today are filming everyone and it wouldn't surprise me if they hired someone to film their honeymoon. You know, courting is not as sacred as it was when we grew up. Now, everyone is getting a divorce or having inappropriate others."
"I agree. I don't know why those cameras are here. Maybe we should ask," Edna replied and she turned to her left where Gordo was and tapped his shoulder. "Excuse me, young man? Hi! My friend and I were admiring you and your young lady and . . ."
"Are you two married?" the other lady interrupted Edna. Edna nudged her friend.
Gordo glanced at Lizzie and winked. "Actually, this is my wife's sister. My wife is out of town and Lizzie over here has agreed to keep my company for the week," Gordo stuck out his hand expecting one of them to shake it. "And you are?"
The ladies were stunned at his comment, so when Gordo held his hand out, they stepped back a little and reluctantly shook it.
"I am Edna and this is Harriet," Edna said finally. "What are the cameras here for?"
"Oh, them? They are filming us so when my sister does find out about us, she wont be able to doubt us," Lizzie said, joining in on the joke.
"Oh," Harriet replied and they slowly moved away from Gordo and Lizzie to the other side of the boat. When they walked away, Lizzie heard Harriet whisper to Edna, "So young and yet so stupid."
Once Edna and Harriet were out of earshot and could no longer see the ladies, they laughed.
"Ah, I love torturing old people," Gordo said.
"We are so mean," Lizzie said.
"Yeah, but it was so fun," Gordo said. Gordo noticed the ladies had joined friends and they were all looking in this direction. "Oh, they are staring at us. Quick, put your arm around me."
This was a new Gordo, Lizzie thought as she laughed with him as she put her arm around his waist. Gordo did the same as he winked to the older people. The older people quickly turned around. Gordo and Lizzie were laughing so hard that they almost missed getting off the boat.
They walked around the island acting really immature. New York seemed to bring a new side out of Gordo. He seemed happier and more secure here. Lizzie noticed this, and just being around him made her happier. Joking around with him was fun and refreshing.
After looking and admiring the Statue, they returned to the ferry, only to discover that a lot of the same people were on the ferry going back. Lizzie and Gordo just looked at each other and smiled.
Exhausted from running around the island, Gordo and Lizzie sat down in the empty seats and Lizzie rested her head on Gordo's shoulder. Word on the boat must have gotten around quickly because soon, an old man sat down next to Gordo, and looked at them disgustedly and then spoke up.
"Excuse me, son? I heard about your moral wrongdoings, and you should be ashamed. This world is full of lies and deceit and people like you are at fault. Where is your wife?"
Words do get around fast with old people. "My wife is out of town for business," Gordo said.
The man looked at Lizzie. "Is this true?"
"Yes sir."
The old man looked like he was about to loose it. "Your poor sister is out of town and here you are courting her husband. You should be ashamed, going behind her back like that," the old man started.
"Oh, but she knows," Lizzie said.
As soon as she said this, the old man gave her a funny look and said, "Who knows?"
"My sister," Lizzie responded. She fully supports us and is very happy for us.
The poor man was speechless. "Hasn't anyone heard of monogamy?" He murmured to himself. He sat there a while longer and did not leave or say anything until the ferry stopped.
As soon as they were off and safe, Lizzie and Gordo once again laughed and recapped what just happened.
"I didn't know you were so comical, Gordo," Lizzie said.
"What are you talking about? I am a funny person," Gordo said back.
"Yeah, but I have never seen you like this. It is like New York has gotten into you or something."
"You know, I noticed that, too. It is like I belong here or something."
"Well that is good. You seem happy."
"Yeah, I am, actually. I am really happy," Gordo agreed. They then walked back to the car and drove home.
