For Lizzie the Enterprise had been a truly awesome experience. The combination of the ride's g-forces and being wrapped up in Gordo's arms was possibly the best thing Lizzie had ever experienced. Neither Gordo nor Lizzie was ready for the ride to end when it ground to a halt.

The two disembarked from the ride and sat down on a nearby bench. "I can't believe this is real," Gordo said, "I've dreamed about this for so long."

"Dreamed about what exactly?" Lizzie asked.

"Just being more than friends with you," Gordo said shyly. "I'm not ready to sit down and have a serious discussion about where we want this to go, or anything. I just want to enjoy this and see where it takes us naturally."

Lizzie nodded in agreement and asked, "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure," Gordo said, taking Lizzie's hand.

"How long have you, ya know, liked me?" Lizzie asked.

Gordo blushed and said, "I should have known you'd ask that. I guess I don't really know exactly. I've probably been developing a crush on you since we were like 12; I don't know."

It was Lizzie's turn to blush, "Wow Gordo, I never knew you felt that way. It's very flattering to hear something like that."

"So, how long have you liked me?" Gordo asked and added, "It seems so weird to say that."

"Well, it took me a lot longer to figure out. But, every time you've ever shown interest in another girl I became horribly jealous," Lizzie confided.

"Let me ask you another question," Gordo said, "Last night at the movie theater, if that woman wouldn't have interrupted us, would you have kissed me?"

Lizzie simply said, "Yes."

Gordo raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can I kiss you now?"

Lizzie nodded and Gordo scooted closer to her on the bench. Neither was an inexperienced kisser, yet the tension that hung between them made it seem that way. The difference between this kiss and any other kiss before, was that they were about to kiss the person they had been waiting their whole lives for and not just the second best. Each had imagined this moment and had invested a lot in it.

Gordo moved as close to Lizzie on the bench as he could get. He looked deep into her beautiful hazel eyes and put his hands on her shoulders. Both closed their eyes and tentatively moved in. As their lips met, fireworks exploded in their minds. After a soft tender kiss they pulled away, smiled at each other and moved in for a much deeper kiss.

Slightly breathlessly Lizzie said, "We should stop, we are totally in public."

"You're right," Gordo agreed, "Just one more?"

"Okay," Lizzie said as their mouths met again.

After another minute or five, Lizzie said, "Seriously this time. Let's get up. We can always continue this later, there's plenty of time."

Gordo nodded and tried to quickly regain his composure.

Gordo and Lizzie decided to have lunch and then hit the water park. For lunch they had cheeseburgers and shared a basket of cheese fries. After retrieving their stuff from the lockers they walked hand in hand to the water park, separating only to go into the men and women's locker rooms. Gordo and Lizzie had a blast. They went on all the different slides and rapids rides. They decided before they would head back out to the amusement park they would take one last ride around the lazy river raft ride. Gordo grabbed a two-person raft and both climbed on board and flopped down on their stomachs. Gordo turned slightly to the side so he could have a better view of Lizzie.

Lizzie had the same idea and was admiring Gordo's arms, "You were not this buff last summer, I swear," Lizzie said while poking one bicep.

"Yeah, because I took weight training in school this year," Gordo said as his eyes passed over her body, "But I can say that you don't look the same as you did last summer either. You are much more...um, curvy."

Lizzie laughed and said, "You like?"

"Very much," Gordo said as he drew in closer for a kiss.

"Get a room!" they heard someone yell from behind them.

"Shut up Kate!" Lizzie yelled back.

At the end of the ride they headed into the locker rooms to change back into their street clothes. The rest of the afternoon and early evening went by quickly. They rode almost every ride in the park and had a blast. They talked a lot and continued to warm up to their budding romance. Stealing kisses through out the day, neither could wait to get home and tell Miranda about their great day.

Miranda waved good-bye to her grandma as she pulled out of the driveway. "Mom, Gordo and Lizzie called and they are having movie night at Lizzie's, can I go?"

"Sure, don't stay out too late," she said.

As Miranda climbed the stairs to Lizzie's room she wondered how their day had gone. She hoped that things had progressed. Miranda poked her head into the room, squealed and did a victory dance! She'd walked in on Gordo and Lizzie making out on Lizzie's bed, and she couldn't have been more thrilled.

Author's Note: Thanks to all the great support I have been getting about my story. This is the first Fan Fic I have ever written and I'm really enjoying it. People keep commenting on how quickly I keep posting more chapters – try not to get too used to it. Work has been a little slow, so I just have extra time right now, I don't plan to always have this much time to work on this. My original goal of this story was to get Gordo and Lizzie together, but now I am there and I have a few more ideas. Let me know if any of you out there reading this have story ideas. Thanks!
