Disclaimer: I don't own any of the original Lizzie McGuire characters in
this story. However, I do own Naomi, Kara, Jack, and anyone else that I
might make up at Kate's party. It feels good to own something! I also own
the song in this chapter.
A/N: This Lizzie fanfic is a sequel to my story "Everything at Once." Hope y'all enjoy it! Hey, Sophia! If you're reading this, I hope you like this chapter! I'm sorry that you were upset that I drew out the party. Woo-hoo, but alas. I drew it out again...sorry! Enjoy.

Chapter 10 LIZZIE'S POV:
I waited anxiously and kept checking the time on my watch. Why weren't Miranda and Gordo here yet?
"Lizzie? Is everything okay?" asked Kate. Like she would care. I rolled my eyes, but tried to act sweet.
"Yes, Kate, I'm fine," I said. Inwardly I was screaming, "Where are my best friends!" I saw Jack lingering around in the distance. He motioned with his hand for me to come there. I wasn't sure he was asking me, so I pointed towards myself and he nodded.
"What do you want?" I whispered as I approached him.
"Well, it seems like you and Kate know each other pretty well, right?" he asked.
"Not actually, but so what?" I asked. I didn't want to sound rude or anything, but what was he getting at anyway?
"You know about the cake we're giving her, don't you?" he asked. I shook my head. "Ok then. Well, we have a big chocolate cake for Kate as a surprise. She's a good cousin to us all."
"She's definitely not my cousin," I mumbled.
"You're pretty enough to be her cousin," he said.
"Thanks, I guess. Hey! Wait a second. What does this have to do with me?" I asked.
"I thought that you might like to have the honors of presenting the cake," he said.
"I'm not exactly Kate's friend. My sister is though," I said. I immediately felt a little rude.
"You're better looking and would look great wheeling it out here," he said. He eyed me from head to toe and raised his eyebrows slightly. Then he reached for my hand. I quickly pulled it back.
"You know what?" I asked. "I am getting sick with you trying to make moves on me! I have a boyfriend, ok? I have a boyfriend! I have enough things to worry about without you flirting around with me."
"I don't mean any harm," he said defensively. He smoothed out his shirt and stood taller. "Just trying to be friendly." Friendly?
"A little too friendly," I mumbled.
"What?" he asked.
"I've got a headache, so I'm gonna go chill in the corner," I said.
"Need an asprin?" he asked.
"No. Just a glass of water...and that I can get myself," I said quietly.
"Who's gonna present the cake for Kate?" asked Jack.
Claire pranced up that minute. "Did I hear something about a...cake?" she asked innocently.
"Are you one of Kate's friends?" he asked.
"Duh! I'm her *best* friend," she said. "So what's this about a little cake?"
"Kate's just such a good cousin and person and all, that some of us pitched in and got a surprise cake. Would you like to present it?" he asked.
"Me? Of course I would!" laughed Claire. "I'd be honored. After all," she said looking at her hands, "we are the best of friends."
"Now since that's cleared up," said Jack, "we can focus on more important things." He took a seat by me. I got up to get a glass of fresh water. I walked over to the sink turned on the cold tap water and got a glass from the cabinet. I closed my eyes and leaned against the counter and took a sip of water. It felt so good to get a drink of nice cold ice water. I drank too much soda anyways. I felt my head. I thought it felt fine. I opened my eyes and saw Jack staring at me right in front of my face. I jumped.
"You scared me to death!" I yelled.
He laughed. "You know, you're real cute when you're scared."
I sighed. If you have a crush on me, you could make it a little less obvious! "Jack, you're really starting to get on my nerves. I know you think it's funny, but it's really annoying."
"Sorry," he said. "Let me make it up to you. Do you want anything? Can I help you in any way?"
I felt like saying, "Yes you can. Leave me alone." I just decided to try to act a little kinder. "I'm ok," I said.
"Well, you'd better be, cuz you're up in less than two minutes," he said.
I finished my last swig of water and cleared my throat. Then I went to find my sister. She was talking to Kate. "Hey, Isabella," I said. "We've gotta get ready."
"Oh dear, you're right!" she exclaimed. "I lost track of the time. Kate and I were just having such a great time talking about all kinds of things." Both of them smiled at each other.
What does Kate have planned? "Yeah, sure," I said, "that's great. Let's get ready to sing." Then I pulled Isabella out of the seat and dragged her into the bathroom. "Are you sure we want to do this?" I asked her. "Something at this party does not feel right, and I would not like to be the object of criticism tonight."
"What do you mean?" asked Isabella.
"Something obviously is going to happen," I said worriedly.
"Just chill, ok!" said Isabella. "Can't you just have a good time?"
"I'm sorry, but my two best friends aren't here yet! What is going on?" I asked. Then quietly I added, "I don't trust Kate."
"She's my friend! Trust her," said Isabella. "Whoops, we'd better go sing now." Then she rushed out of the bathroom. I sighed heavily and ran out after her. Kate had turned on some spotlights onto the platform. Isabella and I both stepped onto it and grabbed a mike. Quickly, before we could say anything, Kate ran up and talked on the microphone. My heart beat loudly. Was she going to say something to embarrass us?
"Hi, everybody!" she chirped. "I'm so glad you could come to my party! I hope you have enjoyed yourself and will continue to. To enhance your entertainment, I have some live performers with us. Isabella and Lizzie McGuire!" Then she hopped off stage and wished us luck. So far so good...
We started singing.
*****************************

*****************************
After we finished, everyone cheered and clapped. A few people shouted, "encore!" I looked at Isabella and then we began to sing again when a shout was heard. All of the lights went on, and a distressed Kate was seen in the crowd. Her skirt had a huge tear in the back, her hair was cut, and her face was smothered in chocolate cake. "Claire!" she yelled. She started screaming and crying. A few people laughed at her and pointed, but most people were silent. "Claire!" she yelled again, "What have you done!"
But Claire was nowhere to be seen.
