Chapter 1

NO POV:

"Hey, you guys," said Lizzie to Miranda and Gordo at the Digital Bean. "I have to hurry, because, my mom has some 'super big important news' to tell the family." Lizzie rolled her eyes.

"What could she want to tell you," said Miranda.

"Well, maybe it's the 'extra special' family vacation we go on every year...as if!" said Lizzie rolling her eyes again. "We do all this family bonding stuff that really gets on my nerves."

"Same here," said Gordo.

"Ditto," agreed Miranda.

"Then, the whole rest of the summer will be wasted...and I won't spend it with you guys," said Lizzie pouting. She hugged her two best friends. "I don't know how I'd live without you two."

"Maybe, maybe your mom is having a baby," said Miranda.

"Oh my gosh, I hope not! One Matt is enough!" said Lizzie.

"What if it's a little sister?" asked Miranda. "You can dress her up, do her hair..." started Miranda.

"Have her steal my makeup and nail color! No way!" interrupted Lizzie. "Well, I guess we could share," said Lizzie quickly thinking about how she sounded selfish. "Still I hope my parents aren't having a baby! Ew, that is so gross."

"There's your mom, Lizzie," said Gordo. "Hi, Mrs. McGuire!" Gordo waved.

Lizzie covered her eyes and tapped on Gordo's shoulder. "Gordo, please don't do that. She's my mom! She's just here to pick me up, and you are encouraging her to talk by waving to her! She might come over here and say something embarrassing," Lizzie said.

"It seems that other people's parents aren't as embarrassing as your own," said Miranda.

"Hi, Lizzie!" yelled Mrs. McGuire. Then she bumped into a chair by accident.

"Or, maybe I'm wrong," said Miranda.

"You know, you guys, I'm going before my mom makes an even bigger fool of herself and me. I'll talk to you guys later," said Lizzie. She grabbed her small pink purse and got out of her chair.

When Lizzie was gone and out of sight, Miranda turned to Gordo and said, "You were very quiet today. How come?"

"I-I dunno. Am I supposed to talk all the time?" asked Gordo.

Miranda raised an eyebrow. "Right...something's on your mind. Would you like to talk about it?" asked Miranda. Gordo shrugged. Miranda pulled her hair back, smoothed out the wrinkles in her shirt, and took a sip of her drink. "Think of me as mental helper. You can tell me your problems, and I'll help you through it." Gordo shrugged again. "We're best friends you know." Gordo remained silent. Miranda took another sip of her drink.

Miranda got up to leave, and Gordo stopped her, "Wait, Miranda!" he said. Miranda stopped and looked around. "There is something on my mind," he said quietly. "A lot on my mind." Miranda reclaimed the seat next to Gordo. "I can't believe I'm telling you this, but...there's this girl, and she's wonderful. She's..." started Gordo.

"She's beautiful, cool, smart, and you want to spend every minute with her, but you're not sure how to tell her how you feel," said Miranda in one breath. Gordo's mouth dropped open.

"Yeah...it's exactly like that," he said in astonishment. Miranda guessed that the girl was Lizzie. He acted weirdly around her sometimes, and she knew that Gordo liked Lizzie. She could feel it. She had wanted to see them together as a couple. She could do this; she could help them.

"Gordo, this GIRL likes to be complimented. Compliment her clothes, her hair, her smile. Any girl likes their smile commented on...er, just as long as it's a nice compliment. Hint that you like her, and if she's gets the hints then she will start playing along. Catch her eye, and smile at her. These are just some ideas, but remember to take it slow. Just rushing into a relationship isn't the best thing..." said Miranda. "for either of you."

"It's harder than it sounds," muttered Gordo, "but thanks for the advice."

"That's what I'm here for," said Miranda. She patted Gordo on the back. Good ole Gordo was in love. Ah, just as she had expected him to be.

"Lizzie, Matt," said Mrs. McGuire, "there's something your father and I have to tell you. Something very important."

"Hey kids, I'm not sure how to say this, but I might as well say it straight out. I got a job offer in Colorado, and well, it's a great job. We're moving," said Mr. McGuire. He seemed excited and upbeat about the whole situation. Lizzie and Matt's smiles turned upside down. "We will be leaving sometime during this summer. I've told the company that I accept their offer, and they'll be telling me soon when I'll be starting business."

"Dad! Mom! How could you do this to me? I'll be leaving friends and...I'll be leaving my school!" yelled Lizzie.

"You would be going to a new school this year anyway, because you're starting high school," said Mr. McGuire.

"But my friends, Dad!" yelled Lizzie. "I can't believe you! You didn't even ask me what I wanted. You don't care about me!" Lizzie burst into tears and ran up the stairs. Mr. and Mrs. McGuire heard a door slam. Matt walked over to the couch and sank down. He was silent. Sam and Jo looked at each other.

"I'll take her and you work on him," said Mrs. McGuire.

"Good idea," said Mr. McGuire. "She hates me worst of all right now, doesn't she?"

Mrs. McGuire paused and then nodded her head. "No one said this was going to be easy."

A/N: IMPORTANT: The first ten chapters to this story are the same as my original story, "Moving On." Chapter eleven will be all new material. I just decided to repost these chapters to prevent confusion, and also because I figured you might've forgotten the storyline (I did). I suggest even if you read the LG "Moving On," to still read the repeated chapters just to get a feel for the story. I wanted to try my hand at turning this into MG. Thanks for reading, and please review!

I'll try to upload all the chapters but I don't know if I will be able to. I'm having huge problems with this site. So sorry. I can't even use the quick edit any more.
