The Trip Of A Lifetime
A/N: OK, not very much publicity (one review, but thanks for it, loopyllou1!) but of course I ALWAYS start like that . . . so I'm not too shaken up over it! Well, I'm home sick today (totally sucks, but I really need to get better for tomorrow's honor choir tryouts) so I can write more for you guys! A few chapters are guaranteed, so be grateful! Hehe! Well, here you go: Chapter 2!
Chapter 2: The Long-Awaited Long Ride
As the last Friday before Spring Break approached the trio very quickly, Lizzie found out how hard it was to pack for DISNEYLAND, of all places! It was supposed to be about 80-90 degrees on average during that week, and in Hillridge, it's usually around 65 degrees this time of year. She, of course, had a shopping spree with Miranda, and picked out some new halters and flip-flops and tanks, not to mention shorts. They hit the sale racks and surprisingly found some awesome stuff. Altogether, they had 8 halters, 6 tanks, and 6 pairs of shorts, costing $60.00. And they each got a pair of flip-flops, $10 each. The harder part was actually packing all of that stuff!
The following day was the planned departure date. Since 10 people couldn't fit into one car, they decided to have the Sanchez and McGuire families ride together in the McGuire's Expedition and to have the Gordon's ride in their BMW 330CI.
"Why are you doing this to me? I thought I was your friend," Gordo said melodramatically.
"Oh, come on, Gordo; you need 'quality family time'," Miranda teased.
"Thank goodness for CD players," Gordo looked at them and cracked up.
"Whatever, we have to 'load up our million bags'," Lizzie rolled her eyes and looked at her mom. She was struggling with Matt, who was saying that he couldn't leave without his TV and poster and weird junk . . . "Sorry, I just have to be involved in torturing Matt! I'll be right back." And with that, she ran over to the midnight blue Expedition.
"Yo, Matt, want us to leave you here with the babysitter? Oh, what was her name again? Maybe . . . Mrs. Harvey?" Lizzie taunted. Matt absolutely HATED Mrs. Harvey, because, as he said, 'She smells DEAD!' (A/N: I just HAD to use that!)
"Maybe I don't need the TV and Weird Al poster and all of my stuff . . ." Matt said, his voice shaky.
"Took you long enough. Now get in the car and leave Mom alone," Lizzie said in a harsh voice. He ran in, muttering the words 'Mrs. Harvey, for a whole week!' and shaking his head. Lizzie smiled at her mom, and her mom laughed.
"OK, I was wrong. You can mess around with Matt's head anytime that I can't. Deal?" Jo held out her hand, and Lizzie shook it. Lizzie ran back to her friends, who were getting their stuff in the cars. Miranda had an evil smile on her face, and Gordo looked reluctant and mad at himself. As Miranda shot him a glance, she raised her eyebrows and shook her head. Lizzie was puzzled.
"What's going on with you two?" Lizzie asked Miranda as she threw her bag into the car. Miranda just kept throwing in luggage until there was nothing left. She smiled, and denied anything was happening.
Really, though, something great happened in Miranda and Gordo's conversation. It was especially good for Lizzie, which was why Miranda didn't tell her what happened. It went a little like this: Miranda asked Gordo about his feelings for Lizzie. He replied with a "Why should I tell you?" Miranda just glared at him, and said, "Fine, I guess you'll never know how she feels about you." He immediately told Miranda how he felt about her (which just happened to be that he wasn't sure) and it was truthful, Miranda could tell. So she left him alone to work on the luggage.
"Fine, don't tell me. But come on! We have to get on the road!" Lizzie exclaimed.
"Lizzie, I just wanted to tell you that I'm going with the Gordon's to help them get to the park. So you and Miranda can have the back seat," Jo said. Miranda and Lizzie high-fived and got into the car.
As they started up the car, the DVD player started and Matt, along with Mrs. Sanchez, watched "Rush Hour" in the second row. The ride was just a little bit longer than the actual movie, which worked perfectly, because Miranda and Lizzie wanted to talk and gossip.
"So Lizzie, how's your love life?" Miranda teased.
"How about non-existent love life? That works better. But, to answer your question, it's not going anywhere," Lizzie groaned. She looked back to see Gordo and his dad in the front seat, and Mrs. McGuire and Mrs. Gordon in the back. Gordo smiled at Lizzie and waved. She waved back, then turned back around to Miranda.
"Doesn't really look like it," Miranda muttered.
"What? Sorry, I couldn't hear you," Lizzie said. 'She seriously is blonde', Miranda thought, and laughed.
"Oh, nothing. Nothing at all," Miranda assured her, and that was the end of that conversation.
E/N: How was that for a really bad chapter? Sorry, but it was sort of thrown together into something I hoped would be good. I love the Gordons' car! LOL . . . But then I love the McGuire car too! So, let's just say that my creativity and my health are linked! Just kidding! Well, I have some more writing to do!
