(A/N: Sorry for the long wait everyone! Well, I guess it wasn't too long. Thanks so much for the positive reviews! My life has been so busy lately, it's hard for me to find time to come up with a new chapter so soon. Plus, FanFiction keeps giving me problems. (Grr!) Ok, well, here's chapter 6! Enjoy!)

Chapter Six: "More Boredom"

Once Gordo, Lizzie and Matt got back to the room, there was honestly nothing to do. After all of that traveling and trying to find ways to keep themselves entertained, they were flat out of ideas. They couldn't watch TV because Sam and Jo were watching some old movie. Gordo decided to just go to bed, since there was nothing else to do. Lizzie also decided to, and finally, Matt conked out too.

The next morning, Sam woke everyone up at 6 AM.

"Five more minutes Dad," Lizzie moaned.

"No, we have to start on today's adventure!" Matt yelled.

"Oh just go without me," Gordo moaned.

"Nope, everyone, get up, we need to get the free, continental breakfast," Sam said.

"There's only old people down there at this time," Gordo complained.

"And us, let's get ready and get going," Jo said.

Gordo slowly rose up and looked at himself in the mirror. He yawned and ran his hand through his hair a few times. Lizzie, however, would never be seen anywhere looking like she just woke up. She went to the bathroom and washed her face, brushed and fixed her hair, and brushed her teeth, even though she was just about to eat.

Matt really wanted to go down there with just his pajamas for the heck of it, but Jo said a flat "NO" to that.

As it turned out, all there was to eat was some stale doughnuts, watered down coffee, and ruined fruit salad.

"See, there was nothing worth eating anyways," Gordo complained.

"Oh well, at least we're all up now, so we can leave and do more traveling," said Sam.

Both Gordo and Lizzie groaned.

"How long today Dad?" Lizzie asked as they walked back to the room to go put their stuff in the car.

"Oh, at least 5 hours," said Sam.

Both Lizzie and Gordo groaned.

"Can we stop at Walmart or something so I can pick up a new book to read so I don't die of boredom?" Lizzie asked.

"No sweetie, we don't have time for that," Sam told her.

Lizzie went to go put her suitcase in the car.

"Here, let me get that for you," Gordo offered.

"Thanks Gordo," Lizzie smiled.

In a little while, they were back on the road again. After about an hour, Sam decided to stop at a national park so they could do some hiking.

"Oh boy, won't this be fun," Lizzie said sarcastically.

"It'll be all right," Gordo assured her.

Matt sort of "led the parade". Sam and Jo followed along, holding hands, pointing out pretty sites in nature. Lizzie and Gordo just tagged along. The park ranger they had met up with earlier said that there was supposed to be all kinds of exciting wildlife to look for. But so far, all they had seen were two robins, a mosquito, and oh-how-exciting, a dead snake.

"Oh come on, this is lameville!" Lizzie complained.

"How about you and I go back, and sit on that bench we saw earlier, and let your family finish up the hike," Gordo suggested.

"Sounds good to me," Lizzie agreed.

They headed back and sat on the bench.

"So, what do we do now?" Lizzie asked.

"Here, you have a leaf in your hair," Gordo reached in her hair and took it out. They both blushed. Of course, that made the moment more awkward than it already was.

Over by a tree, a young couple in their 20's were making out happily. Gordo sighed, wishing it were Lizzie and him. 'You're never going to get anywhere if you don't tell her,' an inner voice said to him, 'Never.'

(A/N: Unless plans change, another chapter should be up really quick after this one. I can't stand to leave Gordo and Lizzie hanging like that! :-) Leave me a review please!!! Thanks and have a good weekend!)
