Dis: Nope I don't own L McG, yet.
A/N: Thanks for the reviews! Thanks Black Knight 03 for the beta-ing! Oh yeah and Yuck! NO! Superman is now, always has been and always will be the BEST! At least he was smart enough not to get bitten by some radio active bug! (lol, sorry to all ya' Spidy fans, but as you can see I LOVE SUPERMAN!)
Sunday afternoon Miranda was over at Gordo's house and was seated on the floor of his bedroom building a "house" out of his CD boxes. Gordo sat in his desk chair trying desperately to get her attention. "Miranda?" Gordo asks impatiently. "Miranda!?!" he finally yelled after getting no reply. "Huh? Oh sorry Gordo what did you say?" she asked snapping out of her day dream and almost knocking over the CD house. "What happened with Kate?" Gordo asked for what seemed the thousandth time. "Oh, not much we just ya' know talked" How could she tell him that Kate had a date? "You talked? Could you be any more vague?" Gordo asked sarcastically raising an eyebrow, obviously waiting for details. Miranda took a deep breath, 'Here goes nothing' she thought to herself, "Okay Gordo, we did talk about you, and she said you were a nice guy, and that she would consider you for a date to the dance" Gordo's face visibly lit up only making Miranda dread what she was about to say even more, "She said she'd consider you..., if she weren't already going to that dance with Ethan...which she is" Miranda said quietly looking down, unable to bear the disappointment surely evident on her best friend¡'s face. "Oh, yeah...um it was a long shot any way. I guess I just won't be going to the dance." Gordo said. "What!?!" Miranda gasped her head snapping up. "What do you mean you're not going?" She questioned truly shocked. "Well it's not like any one would ask me any way." he said simply looking at his hands trying to avoid eye contact. 'Damn it Gordo! I'd ask you!' "Um... do you want to go with me?" Miranda blurted out. 'Where did that come from? Damn it Miranda!' She mentally scolded herself. Gordo did a stunning fish impersonation before answering "Um, Miranda you can ask who ever you want, I don't want your pity..."
"Pity?" Miranda cut him off "Gordo, I did ask who I wanted." he raised an eye brow at this, "You're my best friend, Gordo. What better person to go to the dance with? If you don't want to ..."
"Okay" he cut her off.
"What?"
"Okay let's go." Gordo said with a genuine smile.
"Really?" she jumped up from her seat on the floor.
Gordo chuckled at her enthusiasm 'some things never change' he thought as he watched her.
"Yay!" She squealed and hugged Gordo.
"Ahh, I have to breath!" he scolded her good naturedly chuckling.
"Sorry, this is going to be so fun" Gordo smiled at her enthusiasm, maybe he could have a good time without Kate right?
"Hey Rand I got the tickets" Gordo said as he walked up to her yard. She'd missed school because of the dance preparations, and since today was the first day the tickets would be sold Gordo volunteered to buy them during school. Though he hadn't told her that Larry (who was selling them) let him have first pick of the tickets right before they went on sale, he wasn't supposed to but he owed Gordo a favor. Now he held the tickets up for Miranda to see deliberately covering the part indicating the card to which they corresponded.
"Yay, did we get some good ones?" she asked curiously, referring to the card they were to dress as.
"Naw, not really." he said trying his hardest to keep a mildly dejected face.
"Let me see." Miranda made to grab the tickets but Gordo quickly held them out of her reach, Gordo chuckled at her attempts, and completely taking advantage of his growth spurt he kept the tickets just beyond her grasp.
"Gordo! Come on!" Miranda pouted trying her best to look cute.
"Sorry, I just don't think that's a good idea, Miranda you know how you get and I really don't think you'll be able to keep from going psycho once you see the tickets." he said while she tried in vain to get the tickets.
So Miranda was forced to use her last resort, she tickled him.
"Miranda...stop...Mir...an...da...gah...here" he said between hysterics finally giving in.
"Thank you." She looked at the ticket, then inevitably let out a shriek "Were king and queen of spades!?!?!"
"See I told you you'd go psycho" he said with a smirk. He loved making her happy, but he loved teasing her even more.
"Ah, shut up!" she said once again starting to tickle him, if he was going to tease her, then he had to pay.
They spent most of the afternoon like that...just playing around.
"So do you know what you're going to wear?" Miranda asked once they were both exhausted.
"I just got the tickets, today."
"So? Hey why don't we do like a retro thing?"
Gordo raised an eyebrow, at this "What like the rat pack dance?"
"No, well sort of, like hold on, let me get my sketch book." She ran inside then came back out with something Gordo knew all too well, her beat up old sketch book. That thing was heavier and thicker than any one of his school books, and that was saying a lot.
She opened it to a blank page and started sketching away quickly coming up with a full diagram of both of there outfits.
"Okay now, how are we going to find clothes like that?" Gordo asked looking over her shoulder.
"Well yours is easy enough you can get yours from that store where you got the retro clothing. All you need is black on black, and the tie has to be white then we can paint the K and the spade on it. The shoes you have, as well as the black fedora, and we need a white feather and we paint the same thing on it." He smiled at the fact that she said all of that in one breath.
"And yours?"
"Well I have the gloves, and I have some dresses I could take apart and put back together to make that one, and I'll just draw the Q and the spade on it as well."
She smiled knowing that she had thought of everything.
"Okay, that sounds good, we'll be the best dressed there."
"What's that? Gordo caring about his appearance?" she mocked him and faked a gasp.
"Well it takes time and effort to look this good all the time and play it off."
"Shut up!" she laughed playfully back handing him.
