Hey everyone, I'm back. Thanks for sticking with this. I hope you like this chapter, I really had a hard time writing it. The ideas just weren't flowing but I knew I owed you all a new chapter. Well, here you go.
Chapter 3: Surprise
Prom. It was all anyone could talk about for like the past month. Everyone had prom on the brain and now it was finally here. The morning of prom, Lizzie woke up early at like 9 am. Ok, so Lizzie was a late sleeper. And ok, so she didn't even wake up that early on her own, her mom woke her up to tell her that Miranda was on the phone.
L: (sounding sleepy)
M: Hey, sleepy head, get up. The sun is shining, the bird's are singing and we have a ton of things to do today.
L: Like what?
M: Like the fact that our hair appointments are in less than two hours.
L: Oh, crap, I forgot about that.
M: Well, get up, I'm coming over in like 10 seconds.
L: Ok, I'm up, I'm up.
Lizzie hung up the phone, got out of bed and began to get ready for the day. Miranda arrived shortly after. They went and got their hair done. (I have no idea about any of this so I'm not even going to try and describe it.) After that they went back to Lizzie's house and hung out in her room for awhile, resting up for the big night. Meanwhile Gordo had just barely gotten out of bed at noon and decided he should probably go get his tux. On arriving back at his house, he noticed that their car was back.
GT: Ah, the girl's must be back from getting their hair done.
He went into his house, up to his room and out onto the balcony. He saw that the curtains on Lizzie's door were haphazardly closed. He could tell that they were in there though from the light that spilled out from under the doors. He decided that a knock couldn't hurt.
L: Who the heck is knocking on my door?
M: Liz, think about it. It's the door to your balcony. Who is the only person who has access?
L: Well, Gordo, I guess. Should I let him in? Isn't it bad luck for him to see me?
M: Calm down. Just go open the door. That's for weddings anyway.
Lizzie got up off her bed and went to the door.
G: Uh, hey, I just saw that you guys were home and thought I'd drop in. That's ok right?
L: Yeah, sure. Come in.
M: We're just hanging out until we actually have to start getting dressed and everything. You're welcome to join us if you want. We'll kick you out when we need to.
The three sat around and watched a movie. It was like old times again. The three amigos, like they hadn't changed at all. And in essence they hadn't really but usually when they watched movies together lately Lizzie and Gordo would cuddle. But not this time, this time they all just sat around Lizzie's room, not saying much, just being together. That was enough.
Gordo had long since gone back to his place, Lizzie and Miranda had begun to get ready and in fact they were nearing the time when Gordo and Jon would arrive to pick them up. Gordo had met Jon at his place where the limo would pick them up. They knew they hadn't had to hire a limo for the night but they wanted to do something really special for their two really special girls. The limo arrived and Gordo and Jon were on their way to picking up Lizzie and Miranda.
Ding-dong!
L: (squealing) Oh, my gosh, they're here! This is going to the best night ever!
Even Miranda, who was normally the sane, calm one, was freaking out.
M: Ok, it's ok. I'm just going to go downstairs and get the door. No big deal. Then I'll give the signal for you to come down.
Miranda and Lizzie had come up with a plan. Lizzie wanted to make a grand entrance for Gordo, to really surprise him with her dress. Miranda was to go first and then say, Lizzie will be down in a minute.
Lizzie stayed up in her room, double checking that she had everything. Then she stood by her door just listening for Miranda's signal.
LT: Ok, here we go.
Lizzie walked out of her room and slowly down the stairs. Miranda and Jon were off to the side and Gordo was right at the bottom of the stairs. Gordo's mouth opened wide when he saw Lizzie and never took his eyes off of her. She smiled down at him, staring straight into his eyes. As she reached the bottom, Gordo lifted his hand up to take hers.
G: I can't believe you got that dress. I mean, wow, I just...I don't know what to say.
L: Good, that was the intent. I wanted to surprise you.
G: Well, you certainly did. Wow, I just can't get over it.
L: (giggling) Let's go, Loverboy, we don't have all night.
The two couples were just about out the door when Lizzie's mom showed up.
Jo McGuire: You guys can't leave until I get some pictures.
L: Oh, geez, Mom, are you serious?
JM: You will only go to prom once. This is a very special night and it must be documented.
L: Fine, let's just get this over with.
After about 500 pictures they were able to finally leave. The two couples walked out the door and the moment they saw the limo both Lizzie and Miranda screamed.
M: How did you two afford this? And why?
Jon: We wanted to surprise you two.
G: Yeah, we wanted to make this special for the two most special girls in the universe.
L: Oh, my gosh, you two are so cute. This is perfect. A night full of surprises.
G: And it's barely begun.
The actually prom is to come. Not sure when I'll have to time to write it. I might need to actually go to prom to write it accurately and that's not for a month. But summer's coming up in about six weeks, so look forward to more frequent posts. Anyways, review please, that's what keeps me going. Luv ya all!
