Chapter Three: "Fast Food"

A couple of hours later, Sam pulled into a McDonalds drive-thru so they could get breakfast. Gordo and Lizzie both got Sausage McGriddles, hashbrowns, and a Coke. As they got back on the freeway, Lizzie spilled her drink all over the place.

"Aww man!" she complained. Jo handed her some napkins so Lizzie could clean up the spill. Unfortunately, Lizzie's shirt was ruined and she was drinkless.

"Here, you can have my drink," Gordo offered.

"Thanks, but then, you won't have any," Lizzie said. To that, he just shook his head, popped off the lid off of his drink, grabbed Lizzie's straw out of her hand, and put it in his drink.

"There we go!" he said, "You drink out of your straw, I drink out of mine." Lizzie was a little grossed out at first, but didn't really mind. Matt thought it was "disgusting!".

'This is great, we're drinking out of the same cup," Gordo thought happily.

After Gordo and Lizzie were done eating, they played Tic-Tac-Toe for a long time. After winning over half of the games, Gordo finally decided to take a break and listen to some music and Lizzie did some reading. Matt was playing his Gameboy and would occassionly let out a yell of protest when he didn't complete a level or something.

After reading two 'Seventeen' magazines and a Nancy Drew File, Lizzie was sick of reading. Gordo had listened to the same rock band CD three times and couldn't stand to listen to it again for a long time. It was good timing though, because it was time to stop somewhere for lunch. Matt had picked Taco Bell.

'Great, all of that Mexican food is going to make me want to belch, and I'm certainly not doing that in front of Lizzie!' Gordo thought.

The McGuire's decided to take a break from the road and eat inside the fast food place. Gordo ordered a salad so he wouldn't be belching.

"Gordo," Lizzie started, "This is vacation, you're not supposed to have salad!"

"Hey! I like this stuff and it's pretty healthy too," Gordo lied.

"Uh, not with all that dressing you just loaded it up with," Lizzie pointed out.

"Well, still, it's better than that," he said pointing at her cheese stuffed burrito. Lizzie just rolled her eyes and bit into it.

(A/N:Ok, sorry so short, but this story will get good! Leave me lots of reviews please! 5 reviews and a new chapter will be up MEGA soon! Thanks!)
