Lizzie McGuire and S.W.A.T. Finale

Chris literally ripped the vest off from Lizzie, she was hoping that the bullets didn't go through, to her dismay one of the bullets went through.

-Hold on to it Elizabeth you'll be fine, Jim call an ambulance- Chris instructed

-It's already on the way

Chris noted that instead of being scared Lizzie was calmed.

-Miranda is all right...

-Huh? What are you talking about? - said Chris

-I can feel it...

Chris got really scared when Lizzie coughed blood, at that moment she saw the same boy that was at school and at the hospital, the boy ran towards Lizzie

-Gordo...

-Miranda is OK, she's coming over to explain everything, you'll be free in no time... -he said in tears

Lizzie smiled as tears ran down her cheek.

-I'm... already free Gordo...

-Don't talk like that, you'll be fine, the paramedics are on their way and

-I just need rest Gordo... would you... would you please... take care of Miranda for me?

-Lizzie please...

-Promise me...

Crying Gordo nodded

-I love you Gordo.... you... you were the best thing I had...

Chris got beside her and held her hand.

-Listen to me Elizabeth, Miranda loves you, you're her best friend, now you hold on, and the paramedics just arrived, ok?

Lizzie just coughed up more blood

-COME ON WHERE ARE THE PARAMEDICS???? -Yelled Chris

-Gordo...

-Don't talk you

-Remember... that day at school... when it all happened?

Gordo nodded

-When I saw Kate fell... I... just wondered... what she was feeling...

-But you'll be fine...

For any answer Lizzie held Gordo's hand as she closed her eyes slowly

-Lizzie?

-Move kid, 15 miligrams of ephy, now –ordered a paramedic

-She has no BP !!! –Yelled the other one

-START RCP!!! –the first one ordered

Another paramedic arrived with a defibrillator

-Charging 20, CLEAR!!

Gordo just sat crying silently against the wall as he hear the buzzing and saw Lizzie's motionless body shake with the discharge.

-Charging 30, CLEAR!!!

The paramedics glared at each other as the one checking for pulse shook his head.

-One more time... charging to 40, CLEAR!!!

Once again the paramedic shook his head as the others just remained silent, waiting to see which one would have the last word.

-... Time of death... 14:55... -one said with a whisper for a voice.

In one of the offices Sam held his wife as she cried when Lt. Hondo told them the news, Gordo just held Matt who was silent, perhaps too shocked to have any emotions after hearing what had happened to his sister.

FOUR MONTHS LATER....

It's the last day of school, the students gathered in the garden to say goodbye to the students who graduated that year and to hear a speech that was part of a tribute to the two students who died on the events that took place earlier that year.

-Now we're going to have some words from our best student, the winner of this year's Excellence in achievement award, Miss Miranda Isabella Sanchez.

All students remained silent as Miranda walked to the podium, beside it there were poster-sized pictures of Kate and Lizzie, among the public, Lizzie and Kate's families were present.

-Hi... a few months ago this school was the scene of one of the most despicable acts one can be witness of... a senseless and stupid act that nearly took my life and took the life of my best friend and the life of the captain of our cheerleading team. Lizzie and Kate died because someone thought that violence was that way to express one's feelings about something, because that person or persons thought that by using guns they could scare us or tell us what to do, I just feel sorry for them, because what they did achieved everything but that... and just resulted in the loss of people that we love, people that we shared our lives with, people...

Miranda had to stop because the tears on her eyes didn't allow her to keep reading her speech; the principal offered her a tissue, and Miranda continued.

-...sorry... people that we grew up with... we have to understand that violence is not and will never be the solution to any problems, that violence will lead to nothing but pain and sufferment, we are the future of this country, it's on our hands to change it, we have the power to stop things like this, we have the power to make a different world, to create a world in which we won't lose our friends just because of hate... a world... in which Lizzie would be here...

Gordo got up and ran to the podium where he held Miranda as she cried.

Sam McGuire got up and started to clap intensely, Jo, Matt and the Sanchez's followed, in seconds all people present gave Miranda a standing ovation. Two days after Gordo went to see Miranda, when he entered her room he saw her packing her bags.

-What are you doing?

-I'm leaving... I'm going to México

-You never said you were going back there on vacation again. –Gordo said

-That's because I'm not going on vacation

-What?

-I'm moving to my Aunt Maria's, I already asked to be transferred.

-Miranda you still have two years of high school left, you can't just go

-No? Just watch and you'll see me leave.

-Miranda you don't have to leave...

Miranda glared at him for a minute, and then, without caring a bit for anything she took off her blouse.

-Miranda

-LOOK!! YOU SEE THIS?? –she pointed at the scars of the gun shots she had in her chest and abdomen – YOU SEE THEM? EVERY TIME I BATHE I REMEMBER EVERYTHING!!! I REMEMBER THE DAY WHEN THIS ALL BEGAN!!! AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I CAN LIVE WITH IT, WHAT I CAN'T IS LIVE SEEING MY BEST FRIEND'S DESK EMPTY EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE!!! I CAN'T LIVE SEEING HER CHAIR EMPTY AT LUNCH!!! I CAN'T LIVE WIHTOUT HEARING HER VOICE EVERY DAY SAYING GOOD MORNING!!! I CAN'T LIVE WAITING FOR THAT PHONE TO RING AND HEAR HER VOICE TELLING ME STUFF... I miss her too much...

Miranda sat in her bed and cried, Gordo sat beside her and covered her with his jacket.

-Please... tell me I'll wake up... and this will be a bad dream...

-I can't tell you that... but what I can tell you is that I love you, and that I will always be with you.

Miranda glared at him.

-What are you saying?

-I love you Miranda... I have loved you for several years but I couldn't tell my feelings until this began... I want you to stay Miranda... I will do all I have to do to help you go through this... I know that wherever Lizzie is now she will help us.

-Gordo...

-What?

Miranda cleaned the tears from her eyes

-I... just felt... something...

-What?

-I just felt a warm sensation... the same feeling I had when Lizzie hugged me... a feeling of being safe... of being with someone who really cared for me... you think...

-Perhaps she just wanted you to know that she's fine...

Miranda hugged Gordo

-I love you...

-And I love you too Miranda...
