Sorry it's taken me so long to update! Okay, I know... this is like the shortest chapter ever! But... I am adding to chapters in one day, and this next one will be long! Please enjoy! This chapter is just basically getting Lizzie's lyrics done; you may recognize the song as another one of Hilary Duff's.

A/N: In this chapter the italics are the lyrics, and for some reason the horizontal line break isn't working right now, so I tried to make it distinct when a scene changes.

I do not own Lizzie McGuire, Hilary Duff, or anything to do with either of them. I wish I did own Adam Lamberg (Gordo) though!!!

Chapter 11

Shine

"I am still so stuck!" Lizzie whined to Miranda, as they sat in her room trying to write lyrics for Lizzie's song.

"Just write what you feel," Miranda insisted. "Write about Gordo."

"I can't write about Gordo!" Lizzie exclaimed. "What if he found out?"

"It might make all the difference in the world," Miranda said.

"Yeah, it might make him never want anything to do with me again!" Lizzie snapped.

"Fine, don't take my advice. I'm telling you though, I'm sure what Gordo said to Matt was just a cover. I mean, do you seriously think Gordo would tell Matt the truth if he does have feelings for you?" asked Miranda.

"Well when you put it that way..." Lizzie started.

"See? I'm right! Now start writing!"

"Why don't I work on this tomorrow?" Lizzie suggested.

"Because then you'll never do it!" Miranda admitted. "And why did you tell Gordo you had to have it done by tomorrow?"

"I just wanted an excuse to leave," Lizzie said. "It's not that I don't wanna be around him, it's just hard when I know I have no chance," Lizzie responded.

"But you don't know!" Miranda said, her voice rising. "Lizzie, Gordo cares about you; he always has! If you're that blind and won't tell him yourself, then I'll just do it for you!"

"Miranda!"

"Okay, I won't; it's your business, but seriously Lizzie, it's so obvious!"

"Whatever Miranda, lets work on the lyrics."

"Oh, now you want to work on your lyrics? Trying to change the subject, eh?"

"Yes! Now c'mon!"

ONE HOUR LATER...

Lizzie and Miranda are still sitting in the same positions as they were before. And Lizzie's paper was still blank.

"Lizzie, if you don't write anything done then I'm about to leave," Miranda threatened.

"Okay, I'm trying... Wait! I've got it!" Lizzie shouted.

"What?" Miranda asked excited.

"The title! I want it to be called 'Shine,'" Lizzie announced proudly.

"That's good, but why that?" Miranda questioned.

"It sounds sweet, and it makes me think of Gordo; because he just shines in so many ways," Lizzie said.

"Okay, but please don't get too mushy Lizzie," Miranda pleaded.

"I won't," Lizzie promised, as she transferred the words straight from her heart onto the paper.

"So... what do you think?" Lizzie asked nervously as Miranda scanned the paper.

This is what Miranda read:

Everyone knows that I'm ten feet under

'Till you come alongand brighten my day

Everyone knows that you kill the thunder

The roaring in my brain Is given me the strength

To see right through the haze

CHORUS:

Shine

C'mon and let it shine

Light me up Make me feel alive

You've got what it takes (Shine for me today)

Shine

Only you know how To lift my spirit off the ground

And chase those clouds away

Shine on me today

When everything's wrong I just pick the phone up

The sound of your voice Well it feels my eyes

With tears of joy 'Cuz I know you'll be there

When I'm hanging by a thread You're my heaven sent

CHORUS

Oh you have this way of making me feel like I can fly

You're underneath my wings So I won't free-fall out of the sky

You're always there to save me

You know you save me

CHORUS

C'mon and shine...shine...shine on me

Shine on me Shine on me tonight Shine on me today

Everyone knows That I'm ten feet under

'Till you come along And brighten my world

"Lizzie! This is amazing!" Miranda exclaimed with wide eyes.

"Really?" Lizzie asked. "You were right Miranda; it just came to me."

"Well, you did take my advice; you did right about Gordo," Miranda added.

"I did not," Lizzie lied. Miranda gave her an unsure look. "Oh, alright I did," Lizzie admitted, her face turning pink. "He's very inspiring."

"Now you have to tell him," Miranda said. "If you don't he'll find out sooner or later."

"How? It's not like he has any idea. I don't mention his name or anything. He may just think it's a bunch of words."

"Lizzie, Gordo's not dumb. He'll know."

"Well, right now is not the time," Lizzie said. "I will tell him, but not yet."

"Okay, but I'll never let you live it down until you do," Miranda teased.

"Believe me, I know," Lizzie said jokingly. "C'mon, let's go get something to eat! All this work has made me hungry!" Lizzie grabbed Miranda's arm and dragged her downstairs to the kitchen.

Told ya it was extremely short... but I added another one to enjoy! Please R&R!
