I do not own Lizzie McGuire (Hilary however will be mine all mine HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!)

Chapter 4: The Conversation

Gordo looked at his friend Miranda. She had been his confidant about his feelings for Lizzie since she had figured out that Gordo was confused about how he felt about her many months ago. He then began to ready himself for another long conversation about his favorite confusing subject.

"I talked to Lizzie," Miranda began.

"I figured, what did you guys talk about?" Gordo replied wanting to get to the point.

"About Paolo, about you getting kicked off the trip for her, about Isabella, about the awards show, about the kiss," Miranda answered trying to deadpan the events of the day

"What did she say about it?" Gordo asked obviously aching to know the answer.

"Whoa Whoa Gordo slow down," Miranda replied quickly.

"I'm sorry, It's just..." Gordo started to explain.

His rant however was cut off by Miranda empathetically telling him, "I know Gordo, I know."

Gordo stared at Miranda with a look that said: So tell me.

Miranda sighed, looked at her dear friend and agreed with a nod

"She said it just felt right. She doesn't know why she did it, but she doesn't regret it either." She stated trying to not mix words

Gordo stared at her blankly, clearly confused again.

Miranda paused, thought about what she wanted to say then continued on.

"Look Gordo, she is really confused right now. She's feeling things she never expected to feel for you, especially now after the kiss, and she doesn't understand why she is feeling this way or what they are supposed to mean. She is afraid of the same thing you are. She is afraid of making a mistake or simply misreading feelings and ruining what she has built with you. She needs time to sort through all these confusing feelings and figure out for sure how she really feels about you. If it's meant to happen it will." She finished in her best, 'trust me I know what I'm talking about' tone.

Gordo sat there and let what he had just been told soak in. He finally smiled as Miranda was very good at helping him understand the great mystery that was his and Lizzie's relationship.

"What would I do without you Miranda?" Gordo asked with a smile that let Miranda know exactly what she meant to him.

"Lets hope you never have to find out Gordo," She answered with a smile that acknowledged that she knew how much she meant to Gordo.

Gordo then decided to bring up his confusing conversation with Jo McGuire.

"Lizzie's mom talked to me right before you showed up," Gordo began.

"Oh Really?" "What about?" Miranda asked intrigued.

Gordo went over his conversation with Lizzie's mother in detail hoping Miranda could explain why it happened. Upon finishing Miranda began laughing.

"What?" he asked noticeably annoyed.

"I'm sorry Gordo, ..but she is right you know," Miranda answered with a very large grin on her face.

"Excuse me?" Gordo snapped obviously wanting an explanation of what she had just said.

"You two do do all the things Lizzie's mom said and a bunch of other stuff that give you two away." Miranda replied enjoying herself at this point.

"Like?" Gordo fired back making sure she finished her point.

"Gordo you watch her every step as she walks up, you watch her walk away until she is out of site and you ignore me while you do it. I've seen you completely forget that a waitress is standing there asking what you want to drink because your too busy watching Lizzie play with her silverware.

I've heard Lizzie ask me if you would like an outfit was holding up and then act like she meant to say something else. I've seen her watch you when you were not paying attention. I saw her completely lost without you the day you were in high school.

We all see you watch her hips when she isn't looking at you and we all see her smile that goofy 'I love my life and what is in front of me right now' smile at you when your not paying attention." Miranda finished glad to finally tell Gordo how horribly obvious he and Lizzie could be.

Gordo just shook his head. He finally got up and motioned for her to get up as well.

"I need sleep..This day has worn me out" he said emotionally exhausted.

"Ok, if you need to talk some more or whatever I'm in Lizzie's old room. Her parents are making her stay in their room to make sure she doesn't sneak out." She stated in her 'I'm here for you' tone she had been using with Gordo a lot recently.

"Thanks," Gordo answered her first statement before chuckling at the second one. They hugged and Miranda went out of Gordo's room and down the hall. Gordo sat down on his bed, shook his head, then laid back on his bed. He laid there a minute then finally smiled.

"What a day!" he said out loud to himself as he got up to go turn the light out.
