Standard disclaimer: I own nothing, Disney owns everything, and I don't own Disney, I don't even work for Disney, if I did own Disney, I'd probably be living a lot more comfortably then I do right now and wouldn't be doing things like writing fanfictions at 4 a.m.
Chapter 7 - The Flight
"Standby passenger Gordon, please report to the counter," came the voice on the PA system again. Gordo approached the counter and showed his ID, The agent told him although he was listed for Business Class both Business Class and Coach were full, there was an extra seat up in First so he took it, it wasn't often he got to fly first, even though he was flying on flight benefits and could do it for practically nothing.
Once the plane was in the air the flight attendant asked him which meal of the choices he would want, he made his selection and asked for a Coke, flying always made him thirsty.
After watching the first movie of the 2 movie flight, he decided he really didn't care to see the next movie so instead pulled out the book he was reading and read it instead. Unfortunately for Gordo he was a very fast reader and it wasn't long before he had completed the entire book, he knew he shouldn't start the other books he had brought with him or he would completely run out of things to read before his trip home, so instead he sat there thinking about how he was going to tell Lizzie. He had been so determined the day before when he went to ask his parents for permission to fly overseas, but now that he was going in that direction his resolve was wearing thin.
After contemplating it for a while he decided that he needed to start by figuring out how Lizzie felt about Frankie. Gordo really did love Lizzie so much that he was more concerned with her being happy then with him. If he figured out that Lizzie was in love with Frankie, he decided he would not tell her, he had to make sure that no matter how he felt, Lizzie would be happy.
So with that decision made, he decided he was going to spy on Lizzie a little, but first give her an indication that she is appreciated. He sat down and started writing out a letter in 3 parts, the first 2 parts from memory and the last as a footnote. Upon finishing writing the letter out, Gordo just sat and waited for touch down.
Upon arrival in Paris, Gordo found a ride to the hotel that his parents had made reservations for him at. When he arrived at the hotel he sat outside across the street for a while waiting and staring, not ready to test his resolve. About 20 minutes later he saw Frankie Muniz approach the hotel and go inside, about 15 minutes after that, Frankie and Lizzie emerged and got into a vehicle and drove down the street.
After waiting another 10 minutes to get his nerve up, Gordo got up, went inside and checked in to the hotel. He went to his room, got unpacked, and then he took the letter he had written on the plane, put it in an envelope addressed only "Lizzie" and walked out into the hall and slipped it under her door, then he returned to his room and took a much needed nap.
