(A/N: Well, here's the newest chapter for you!)

Monopoly lasted almost 3 hours and Gordo ended up winning. By that time, dinner was ready.

"Did you tell your mom you were staying for dinner?" Gordo asked Lizzie.

"Well, not really, I just said you and I were going to the movies," she
said.

"She's probably wondering what happened to you then, so maybe you
should call her," he suggested.

"Ok," she said as Gordo handed her the phone.

(Lizzie's House)

Ring ring!

"Hello?" asked Jo.

"Hi Mom, it's me. Just thought I'd say I'm staying for dinner at
Gordo's."

"Oh ok. How was the movies?"

"Great, we had a good time."

"Good, well, I'll see you later, have fun!"

"Thanks Mom, bye!" Lizzie hung up and handed Gordo the phone. Seeing that no one was in the room, Gordo took Lizzie's arm and said: "May I escort you to dinner Elizabeth?"

"Why, of course David!" she said, walking with him to the dining room
table. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon were both seated at the heads of the table and Gorgeous was on one side, across from Gordo and Lizzie.

"Well David, I did you a favor this time, I made brisket," 'Gorgeous'
told him. He looked very happy when she said this. The he whispered to Lizzie: "You WILL like it, I promise." Lizzie just smiled and took her fork and gingerly touched it.

Gordo's Point of View:
She's about to try Grandma's brisket. What if she doesn't like it? That
would be a letdown, because when we get married, I plan on having
brisket everyday!! And curly fries! And cake! Wait! Married? Us? Wow,
that'd be nice. But hey, my parents don't even know her and I are
together now, so how can I think of marriage? My parents. Man oh man, I need to tell them. Well, tonight's as good a time as any. Especially since Lizize is here.

End of Point of View.

Gordo suddenly stood up. "I have an announcement to make," he began. Everyone looked at him, puzzled. Especially Lizzie. "Dad, Mom, Grandma, I just wanted to say, that I, or I should say Lizzie and I, realized we are meant to be more than best friends and I, uh, wanted to say that we're, uh, together now, as uh, boyfriend and girlfriend," he had started to slow down with his announcement out of embarrassment when he saw everyone's shocked looks. Lizzie looked more surprised than any of them. She had never, not on her life, thought Gordo would actually have the guts to annouce something like this at the dinner table. He was always so quiet, and never seemed the type to do something, well, like this!

"Congratulations Gordo, what a fine girl you've chosen," 'Gorgeous'
beamed.

"Thanks Grandma, I think so too," he said, smiling at Lizzie.

Mrs. Gordon wasn't upset, because she had always thought this would happen. She just couldn't come up with anything to say. Mr. Gordon just continued to look kind of stunned.(A/N: For any of you who have seen "The Cosby Show", you may remember that one episode when Denise told her parents that she had gotten married and all Cliff could do was just stare stupidly with a blank face. Well, that's what Mr. Gordon is doing.)

"I'm proud of you son," was all he could say. He got up and headed to the family room to see what was on tv without even finishing his meal. Lizzie still haden't tried the brisket. Gordo had an idea.

"Lizzie," he asked,"Could I have the honors of giving you your first bite of brisket?"

"Sure Gordo," she said, still a little anxious about trying it. He took
her fork and scooped a little of it on it and put it in her mouth,
ready for her (hopefully good) response. She smiled and started chewing it. "Well?" Gordo asked.

"Not bad, not bad at all, this is great 'Gorgeous'," she said.

"YES!! She likes it!!" thought Gordo excitedly.

"Why, thank you!" Gorgeous said happily.

After dinner, Lizzie decided she should probably get going, since it was getting late. Gordo offered to walk her back home. But, Mr. Gordon interrupted. "No David, it's really windy out there, how about I drive her home?"

"Yeah, I guess, but could I come along?" Gordo asked hesitantly, thinking maybe his dad would say no since he haden't seemed to like the idea of Lizzie and him being together.

"Sure, of course you can!" Mr. Gordon said, grabbing his keys off the
counter, "Let's go!"
