Chapter 6: Perfect

Their sets were over, the prom was almost over, only half an hour left, and the gang was blissfully happy. Lizzie and Gordo had been dancing the night away, while Miranda and Jon had snuck outside to be alone.

J: Are you having fun?

M: Of course I'm having fun, I'm here with you.

J: Well, that's good, because I have fun when I'm with you. I know that this is technically not a date, because it's prom and it's too big of a deal to be a real date when it's the first one, you can't really get to know the person, it's more a group activity, but I would love it if we could have a real first date and hopefully many more after that. You are amazing and I am such a dork not to have realized it before now. Will you go out with me for real?

MT: (smiling to herself) He is so adorable. This is exactly what I told Lizzie I want, a guy this sweet and absolutely perfect.

M: Yes, Jon, I would love to go out with you for real,' although this date already seems pretty real to me.

And with that Jon leaned over slowly and gave her a subtle kiss, one right out of the movies. Then Jon took Miranda's hand and they danced right there under the stars. It was the perfect moment.

Meanwhile, Lizzie and Gordo were slow dancing for about the millionth time. Gordo looked down at Lizzie's head, which was laid perfectly on his chest, and thought about how she was the most wonderful, amazing girl in the whole world. He tilted his head down and gave the top of her head a soft kiss.

L: (taking her head off of Gordo's chest and looking up at him) What are you thinking about?

G:

L: You are too good to me, how will I ever be able to be just as good to you?

G: Just be my wonderful Lizzie. That's enough for me.

She got up on her tippy-toes to kiss him perfectly and passionately. She then got down and putting her head on his chest once again, they continued to dance.

MT, JT, LT, GT: This has been the perfect night. I am here with the most amazing person in the world. Life is perfect. How could things go wrong?

Prom was over, school was almost done, all of the big projects had been turned in, life had finally calmed down after a long, stressful semester. The only thing coming up was graduation and while they were all really sad to leave high school, they knew they wouldn't be leaving anyone behind. Miranda was starting a new relationship with a terrific guy, Lizzie and Gordo were hopelessly in love, so school ending wouldn't mean relationships ending. In fact Gordo had turned down Harvard to be near Lizzie. A few months ago, when he had gotten his acceptance, they had sat down and talked about it. Although Lizzie didn't want him to give up his dream of Harvard just for her, he assured her that she was ten times better than some Ivy League school out east. It was decided that he would go to Stanford while she attended UCLA with Miranda. Jon would enroll in art school in LA next year. It was perfect, they could all still be together and Lizzie and Miranda could still have their band in college, as the other guys in the band would be in town as well. The morning of graduation Miranda woke up to a soft tink noise. She climbed out of bed and walked towards her window.

MT: (peering outside) What the heck? It's 5:30 in the morning.

The sight that she was taking in below was of Jon throwing pebbles at her window. She opened her window, looked down at him and put her finger up to her mouth, signaling for him to be quiet. She quickly put on some shoes and quietly made her way downstairs and outside. It was just starting to get light out.

M: (whispering) What are you doing here? It's 5:30 in the morning.

J: I couldn't sleep, I kept thinking about you. I thought we could watch the sunrise together.

M: That's so cute. Even though it's total bull. You just said that to get me to make out with you.

J: (blushing) Well, ok, that was partly it. I didn't say it JUST so you'd make out with me, I thought it would be nice to watch it too.

M: I see, well, because you went to all that trouble...

She kisses him deeply but quickly, then grabs his hand and runs into the woods behind her house. She takes him down a hill towards a creek, hidden deep in the woods. She sits them down on the bank and then kisses him again.

J: (after a few moments)

M: I know.

Then kisses him again as the sun rises on their last day as seniors of Hillridge High School.

Lizzie woke up early too, only she decided to head out onto the balcony. She needed time to think. But lo and behold, when she got there she discovered that Gordo had had the same idea. He was leaning on the railing looking into sky. She quietly tip-toed up behind him and slowly put her hands over his eyes.

L: (trying to disguise her voice) Guess who!

G: (without turning around) Umm, Kate? You're late, I was expecting you a half an hour ago. We gotta be quick before Lizzie hears us.

Lizzie quickly slipped her hands off of his eyes and jumped back.

L: (in an attempted stern, yet mostly hurt voice) No, Gordo, it's not Kate, it's Lizzie.

Instead of him turning around looking guilty, he turned around, grabbed Lizzie around the waist.

G: I knew it was you. I was just teasing you.

Lizzie shoved him.

L: That was mean.

G: You know that there could never be anyone for me except you.

L: (softening, but still trying to make him suffer a little) It was still mean. I know that one day you will probably wake up and realize that there are so many girls out there much better than me.

G: Better than you? The only thing better than you is...is...oh, I can't even think of anything, or anyone, better than you.

L: (completely melting) Oh, Gordo. I hope you always feel that way.

G: I will. I love you and nothing will ever change that. Come on, we still have plenty of time until graduation, you wanna watch a movie and snuggle on my bed?

L: Ok, you sweet talker you. Let's go.

She grabbed his hand and led him into his bedroom, shutting the door behind her. He let go of her hand so that he could start a movie while she climbed onto his bed. He popped in one of her favorites Where The Heart Is, grabbed the remote and climbed onto his bed next here. They snuggled down into each other as he hit
