DISCLAIMER: I don't own Lizzie McGuire, nor any of the character except those that I make up. And I'm not sure exactly whom the song SURE KNOW SOMETHING belongs to but it doesn't belong to me, I'm just using it as a "memories past tigger"-
AND A NOTE: I did change the lyrics to the song a little bit, so it could fit Lizzie and Gordo better!
Gordo awoke and found Lizzie still beside him, but she was stirring in her sleep in a frightened state. Gordo had no clue that she was having one of the worst dreams she'd ever had.
LIZZIE'S DREAM
The masked man grabbed Lizzie by the shoulder and started to drag her. She quickly called out for help- it seemed hopeless when Gordo ran in and punched the bandit in the back of the neck. He let go of Lizzie and faced Gordo. Gordo got to throw another strike before the man got a grip of Gordo's wrist and dealt him three hard punches in the gut and threw him on the ground.
Lizzie looked over to see if Gordo was okay, but her eyes caught something else. She backed up, saying, "Oh, no........please don't- God no.....please, DON'T DO IT" It was too late- the man pulled out a handgun and fired several shots to Gordo. Then sirens were heard, and the man ran away quickly, dropping the gun. Lizzie stumbled over to Gordo and checked if he was breathing. He wasn't.
Her heart started beating faster as she checked for a pulse- no pulse anywhere. "Gordo, wake up. Please, answer me!" Gordo didn't answer. It felt like forever as she knelt there, holding Gordo and sobbing uncontrollably- she looked up once and saw police cars lined all around her, and cops pointing guns at her. One of them shouted, "You are under arrest! Place your hands behind your head and get on the ground!" She didn't listen, she just laid he head on Gordo's torso. Then she heard another gunshot being fired.
END OF LIZZIE'S DREAM
Lizzie was freaking out in her sleep. Gordo was trying to shake her awake. Whjen she did, she sat straight up, looking around and breathing heavily. Her eyes finally laid on Gordo. Her hand slowly caressed his face.
"Gordo?" she asked in a faint voice.
"Yeah. You seem to be happy to see me today."
Lizzie buried her face in Gordo's chest and whimpered almost uncontrollably. Gordo cradled her in his arms, not quite sure what was going on. After Lizzie had calmed down, Gordo asked her what was bothering her.
"I thought I had lost you." Lizzie whispered as she began to tell him her dream. "It seemed so real." She said, beginning to whimper again. Gordo kissed her and stroked her hair, saying, "It was only a dream, baby. I'm not gone." Lizzie calmed down again, and then they were both interrupted by Miranda opening the door, saying, "Are you two gonna stay there and make love all day?"
"MIRANDA!" They both shouted.
"Guys, we were supposed to meet up about an hour ago."
Lizzie and Gordo forgot about that. They both got ready in a hurry and met Miranda and Larry downstairs. They all decided on going to the movies and then going to the carnival in town later in the evening.
They went to two movies, and then they went home to get ready for the carnival. They met up at Miranda's house and all headed toward the lights. They all went on the roller coaster that everyone in the city was talking about. They said they'd go on more thrill rides, but they decided on going on the ferris wheel before they did that.
Miranda and Larry got in one seat, and Lizzie and Gordo got into the seat behind them. They reached the top and looked out over Hillridge. All four of them became silent and meditative. Memories from the past rushed through all their minds, from the start of school, to when they all first met, to the present day. Gordo looked over to Lizzie, and saw that she wasn't remembering the good times. "Lizzie you have to stop thinking about that dream. Don't let it haunt you."
"Gordo, it seemed like it was real. It's scary, especially after last night. Gordo, you shouldn't have given yourself when that car was about to hit me." Lizze said. Gordo answered, "Lizzie, I had to, I couldn't help myself. You're the girl I've loved since I first saw you. I've loved you from the time we saw each other, from when we reached Junior High. Now I don't see how I could live if you weren't ever in my life."
Tears of happiness wanted to rush from Lizzie's eye. She blinked them back, and snuggles against Gordo as they both looked out over Hillridge, now both of them remembering all the times of joy and love. Lizzie looked over the horizon of Hillridge, remembering the trip to Rome, where she had kissed Gordo on that rooftop. That was her first way of letting him know that she loved him. Gordo also was looking past the horizon, thinking about the trip to Rome, about the kiss. And as they remembered this and all the times they'd been together, a song started playing in their minds......
I'VE BEEN UP AND DOWN, I'VE BEEN ALL AROUND
I WAS MYSTIFIED- ALMOST TERRIFIED
BUT LATE AT NIGHT, I STILL HEAR YOU CALL MY NAME
I WAS ON MY OWN, I WAS ALL ALONE
I WAS MYSTIFIED, ALMOST PARALYZED
BUT LATE AT NIGHT I STILL NEED YOU, JUST THE SAME
I WAS A GAMBLER, BUT I'M NOBODY'S FOOL
NOW I SURE KNOW SOMETHING
YOU TOLD THINGS YOU NEVER TOLD ME AT SCHOOL
AND I SURE KNOW SOMETHING
NO ONE CAN MAKE ME FELL THE WAY THAT YOU DO
AND I SURE KNOW SOMETHING
"It looks so beautiful from up here." Lizzie said, in almost a whisper.
"And you look a hundred times more beautiful, Ms. McGuire." Gordo said, running his fingers through her hair. She giggled and leaned up against him. He was so good to her, even long before they were together.
I WAS JUST SEVENTEEN, YOU WERE JUST A DREAMI WAS MESMERIZED, I FELT SCARED INSIDE
IT BROKE MY HEART AND I CAN STILL FEEL THE PAIN
I'VE BEEN COUNTED OUT, I HAD FEAR AND DOUBT
I FELT STARRY EYED, NEVER SATISFIED
AND LATE AT NIGHT I STILL NEED YOU JUST THE SAME.
Memories seemed endless for all of them, from parties to sleepovers, bad times, good times, they remembered just about everything they'd all been through together when the ride was over, and they all got off and headed for the many other rides they had yet to go on.
