"Hey Larry!" Lizzie called and ran up to him, congratulating him.
"When are you two getting married?" Lizzie asked.
Larry was confused. "Married? Who?"
"Don't you remember? You proposed to Miranda last night." Lizzie said, now a bit confused herself.
"No, I didn't."
"But Miranda called me and said you did."
Larry said, "She told me she was calling you guys to congratulate you."
"She did?"
"Yep. I did plan on proposing to her, but it's kind of early for that. I'm gonna do it later. I have to get going now. See ya!"
Lizzie thought to herself as Larry went away. What about the proposal she had been through? Was it really right for them to be engaged? Yeah, they did graduate in one week, but it was still high school- then again, other people got engaged and even married before their senior year even started. She knew what she had to do. She went to her house, where Gordo was on the sofa.
"Hey Lizzie." Gordo said.
"Hey. I just found out that Miranda was making it up about Larry proposing."
"Oh yeah- he said he was proposing in a few months, so I was wondering why he would do that so early."
"And Gordo, in speaking of proposals....."
"Lizzie?" Gordo said breathlessly as he saw what she was doing.
Lizzie slowly pulled the ring down her finger- then she stopped halfway, and looked at Gordo's shocked and disappointed face. Memories swooped into her mind.
The time she first met Gordo....
The first smile she got from him....
The time they had first held hands....
The first hug they had shared....
The first night they spent alone....
The time she first fell asleep beside him....
The first time she kissed him....
The first date alone together....
The time she had first kissed him passionately....
The time he had proposed to her....
All these memories were too good to let go. She placed the ring back on and fought the tears down, thinking about how stupid she was to want to break the relationship.
"This ring is a little too tight."
Gordo stepped forward suspiciously, saying, "That's not what you were prepared to tell me, was it?"
Lizzie wasn't going to lie. "No, but I realized I couldn't lose everything. I love you too damn much."
Gordo pulled her into a tight hug and said, "Well, if the ring is too tight, let's go and get another one."
They went to the jewelry store, and they saw Miranda there, who was busy looking for the ring that matched Lizzie's.
"I think it looks like this one over here- no this one. Argh! What did that ring look like?"
Lizzie stepped forward and said, "Like this." And showed her the ring.
"Hi, Lizzie. I...I lost my ring, so I'm here buying a new one so Larry won't be uhh.....angry."
"Miranda, I know for a fact you couldn't have lost that ring."
"How could I not have?"
"There was no ring to begin with."
"But Larry proposed to me last night!"
"He said that he didn't propose last night."
"But he gave me the ring, and then he lost it- I mean I lost it, so now you're looking for another- I mean I'M looking for another and then I....oh, forget it. He didn't propose to me."
"Miranda...." Lizzie started, but Miranda simply ran her fastest out the door.
Gordo came from the spot he was hiding in and said, "That went unexpectedly."
Lizzie smiled and said, "She'll get over it in about an hour. Now, where were we?"
They got Lizzie a larger ring, and they went to see if Miranda had calmed down. When they went inside, they found Larry pacing back and forth nervously. "What's going on, Tudgeman?" Gordo asked, and Larry said, "Miranda came home and got all mad at me for not proposing. I tried to tell her I was going to propose, but she said to forget that we were ever together."
"OK, Larry- just go to Miranda's house and try to talk it over with her. Gordo and I are gonna come up with another plan in case this one won't work."
Larry left, hoping that this would all end soon. Gordo and Lizzie went to Gordo's house, and they soon got a call from Larry, saying that Miranda just told him to go away and slammed the door in his face. So, they sat down in the kitchen and started a plan.
"We know for a fact that Miranda will always go out somewhere with is, no matter what condition she's in. So why don't we take her somewhere tonight?" Gordo suggested
"That's a pretty good idea, Gordo. Then we can talk everything out while we're out there, and then she'll probably forget she was ever mad at Larry. Remember, we need to get her back with Larry. Those two were meant to be." Lizzie said
"Yeah, just as much as we're meant to be." Gordo agreed.
Lizzie giggled and kissed Gordo. Then, they waited a few minutes before getting ready to call Miranda. Miranda was hesitant at first, but she agreed to go with them.
It was official. Operation LARRY AND MIRANDA had just started.
There's chapter 7 for ya, chapter 8 will be up soon! See ya!
