As soon as they left Gordo's house and rounded the corner to Lizzie's house, Gordo and Tom ran into the reason why blonde jokes exsist...
Ethan Craft.
"Hey, Gordon! Who's the new kid on the block?" he asked in his surfer voice.
"Well Ethan, this is Tom Jefferson. And no, he's not a president," Gordo introduced.
"Of course not! But this is still cool. I'm meeting a dead guy!" Ethan shook his hand.
"Right... Come on Tom, we have to get to Lizzie's house," Gordo tugged on the taller teen's jersey as Ethan told them 'See ya later'.
At the McGuire home, Matt and Lanny are in the living trying to untangle themselves from the yarn covering their legs by using a pair of scissors.
"We got to do something about this new bully at our school, Lanny," Mat said clipping the yarn away. "But ho are we suppose to match up with a guy with a brother in the 7th grade?" Lanny thought for a second and said... nothing actually... "You're right, Lanny! (A/N: o.O??) If we can find some muscles, maybe he can scare Charlie away from us for good. But where can we find muscles this time of year?" As they pondered, they heard the doorbell ring and they, still tied together, went to answer the door. They gapped at the people who was behind Gordo.
"Hey, is Lizzie here?" Gordo asked.
"Yes, but who's that?" Matt asks, still in awe.
"Great. She might be in her room. Come on Tom," Tom followed Gordo up the stairs to Lizzie's room. Matt and Lanny both looked at each other and smiled.
"He's perfect," Matt grinned as Lanny nodded his head.
As Gordo and Tom approached the door and knocked on it, they heard a female voice yelled 'Come in!'. They both entered to see both Lizzie and Miranda already in the room. "Hey Gordo, who's the new guy behind you?" Lizzed asked.
"Oh," Gordo pushed Tom in front of them, "this is Tom. He just move here a couple of days ago and I was wondering if he could tag along with us while we showed him around."
"Sure he can!" Miranda replied rather quickly.
"Yea, let's go. We can show you the Digital Bean," Lizzie said as they filed down the stairs and left the house. Before they even reached the sidewalk, they was stopped by Matt and Lanny.
"Move you little good for nothing!" Lizzie demanded.
"You, Tom," Matt and Lanny walked over to him, "can you flex a muscle and tell us what grade you're going to."
"Uh... I'm going to the 9th...?" Tom answered showing that he'd indeed has been working out. Matt pulled out a measuring tape and wrapped it around Tom's arm.
"Get away from him you dweep!" Lizzie picked up the two and put them back in the house. "Let's go before they come back out."
After a day of touring Tom around the mall and their favorite hangouts, the four teens dropped off Miranda before stopping at Lizzie's house.
"I had a great time. Thanks for showing me around the place," Tom complimented smiling.
"No problem. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye," Lizzie said cheerfully entering her house.
"Lizzie wait. I need to ask you something," Gordo said stopping the door from closing.
"What is it, Gordo?"
"It's that... um... the... at Ro-.... nevermind.... See you tomorrow," Gordo waved as he and Tom made their way back to their own block.
"What was that about? You like her or something?" Tom asks before he decided to walk up his own driveway.
"Me? No! It's jsut that I care about her... a lot," Gordo mumbled the last part.
"Alright. I'm always next door if you wanna talk. Later."
"Yea... talk..." Gordo sighed as he walked into his house, reached his room, and just layed in bed and fell asleep with his clothes on.
