Disclaimer: I don't own Lizzie McGuire or anything involved with her, but I do own this plot.

Summary: After the movie, things changed. They stayed there for another week and some things happened (no one talks about them). But, when a foreign visitor comes, those secrets are exposed. R&R!

Chapter 1. Lizzie's birthday.

(ring)
"Hello?", a sleepy David Gordon said.
"Hey Gordy!", the voice of his girlfriend, Miranda Sanchez replied.
"How are ya, Randy?"
"Pretty cool. Do you know what day is it today?"
"Uhm…"
"It's Liz's birthday!", Miranda said.
"Yah, right"
"Why don't we go to the pool?", she asked.
"Okay… Bye Randy" (He hangs up) "Oh, man!"

Flashback, 2 months before:
(Lizzie and Gordo are inn her backyard)
"Lizzie…", he started.
"Yeah?", the pretty blonde asked.
"We need to talk", he stated.
"About?", she asked confused.
"Rome. The rooftop. Our kiss"
"Gordo, I'm so sorry if that made you uncomfortable, it was just a 'thank you' kiss.
"Maybe that was for you. For me, it was the most incredible night I ever had"
"Gordo, please!", she begged him.
"No, Lizzie! I love you! Why can't you just see it?", he asked, furious.
"I do see it, but I don't feel it. I'm sorry, but you're my best friend, and I never felt anything more towards you", she replied, hurt and breaking his heart. He has the face he had when he heard Parker calling him short.
"You-you'll never understand how I'm feeling right now. When you hear the person you're in love with telling you this, you…", he leaves running and bumps with Miranda outside Lizzie's house.
"Hey! How are you?", the brunette asked.
"Like crap. How was Mexico?"
"It was the coolest!", she notices his face. "What happened? Where's Lizzie?"
"Inside"
"Are you ok? You have the face you had when- She rejected you?"
"Huh?"
"She did, didn't she?" he nods sadly, she hugs him "Don't worry, I'll always be here" he leans in and kisses her "I love you Gordo. I always did" she kisses him. Lizzie watches all this with tears streaming down her face, and runs to her house. Inside, Gordo feels guilty, but… what can he do now?
End of flashback.

"Hello?"
"Hey, it's me again. Can you call Liz? I gotta go to the mall"
"But-"
"Thanks Gordy! You're so sweet!", she hungs up.
(Gordo reads a paper:
Lizzie:
Pro's: -She's Lizzie.
- She's cute, sweet, perfect, funny, innocent, clumsy, beautiful, kind, a great friend and person…
- I love her.
Con's: - She doesn't like me.
- We haven't talk for a long time.
- I'm with Miranda now.
- She's a little naïve.
- Too into her looks.
- She can be a little shallow.

Miranda:
Pro's: - She really seems to like me.
- She's cute.
Con's: - She keeps calling me 'Gordy'.
- She calls me all the time.
- She never listens to me.
- She's annoying.
- She's aggressive.
- She's not Lizzie…)

(He calls Lizzie)
"Hello?", her voice replied.
"Lizzie, Randy wants you to come with us to the pool today"
"Randy?"
"Happy birthday"
"Randy? When?"
"Uhm… now"
"Tell her I'll be there. Bye"
"Bye" (hangs up)

Later, at the pool (Miranda isn't there yet):

"Hey. Happy birthday", Gordo said.
"Thanks", Lizzie replied. "Where's Randa?"
"I dunno" Lizzie takes her top and her skirt off, she's wearing a baby-pink bikini.
"I'll go swimming. You coming?" he nods and they get in the water.
"Hey Liz! Happy birthday!", Miranda said.
"Thanks!"
"Hey Gordy!", she kisses him.
"Are you two dating?", Lizzie asked.
"Yah, you didn't know?", Miranda replied, Lizzie shakes her head. "And how's your love life?"
"I'm going out with Ethan. I invited him, is that ok?"
"I wanted it to be the Three Amigos…"
"Well, we haven't been that lately, or I should've known about you two." Ethan comes.
"Hey babe!", they kiss. "Happy birthday! I got you this", he gives her a pink box, she opens it.
"How sweet!" (The card says:
To My Liz-zay,
Love ya,
Ethan.)
"Omigosh! A silver bracelet with a neck- They're white gold!", she hugs him and squeals.
"Happy sweet sixteen, babe"
"I love you too", she kisses Ethan. "Let's go swimmin!" (they go)
"Well, I guess two moths change people", Gordo said, and they join the happy couple.
"Liz!", Miranda whispered. "What's the deal with Ethan?"
"I like him. And he likes me… What about you and Gordo?"
"Same"
"Since when are you two together?"
"About… two months ago", she replied. "And you?"
"A month and a half"
"Cool"

"You and Lizzie?", Gordo asked.
"Yep. She's great. And Randa?"
"Yah…"
"You don't sound very convinced about it"
"Cuz I'm not"
"You still like Liz, don't you?"
"What are you talk- Who told you?"
"Herself"
"Then, I screwed it up"
"You're her best friend. She needs you. She loves you, in a different way, more than she'll ever love me. She has been missing you. I could never take your place. You are more important to her than myself"
"...you really think so?" Ethan nods.
"I'd tell you to go talk to her, but Randa's very jealous"
"Yep. You're right. Anyway, it's not working. I mean, it's working just cuz I pretend"
"Man! You gotta end this, dude!"
"But... I don't wanna lose her... as a friend" The girls come, Ethan immediately puts his arm around Lizzie's tiny waist. "Hey girls"
"Hey. What were you guys doing?"
"Admiring the two beauties we have in front... Ready to go, babe?" Lizzie nods and they kiss. "We have reservations in the Chateau Latour... I ruined the surprise" Lizzie squeals.
"Baby, you're the greatest!", kiss "Bye Randa. Bye Gordo. I hope we see soon!" They leave.
"How was your day with Lizzie?", Gordo asked his girlfriend.
"She has become a snotty btch. Maybe she's friends with Kate"
"Why are you talking sht about her? Isn't she your best friend?"
"She was, two months ago. People change. Times change. You can't live in the past, Gordy"
"Well, maybe she hasn't changed. Maybe you did"
"What do you mean?"
"Your new friends. Angel Lieberman, Parker McKenzie, Claire Miller. Your new Goth look"
"Do those things bother you? Cuz that's me. If I bother you, then, why are we together?"
"You're not the same girl I kissed two months ago"
"I changed too, ok?" She leaves.
"You sure did..."

End of chapter 1.

AN: Some things you should know:
1- Gordo, Ethan, Miranda and Lizzie are 16 (just like all their friends). Matt and his friends are 14.
2- Lizzie's new friends and their boyfriends are made up by me. Everybody calls her Liz now, but Kate also calls her Brookie.
3- Kay, I guess that's it for now.
 See ya!
