Chapter 17. The Last Song

4 years later:

A beautiful 23 years Lizzie McGuire smiled at her audience and sat in front of the mic. A pretty 23 years old Isabella Parigi gave her a thumbs up sign. Lizzie smiled, took a deep breath and started.

"Someday you will find the place
It's a place where love takes over hate
Then you'll see all the things you do
Affect everyone around you"
. She smiled at her friends, Isabella, Miranda and Larry Tudgeman, Kate and Ethan Craft, Matt and Melina McGuire, Andie Robinson, and David Gordon.

"Then you'll see there's no fear at all
You held my hand we took down that wall
As I looked at you with nothing to say
Now I understand why you pushed me away
I looked far and now I see
That the only one I needed was me"
. Tons of claps came from the full room. She smiled again and ran down to hug Isabella. Her best friend, conscience, confident and roomy.

"That was great!" she squeaked. Lizzie smiled and they hugged again. Lizzie gave her a little lavender book.

"I finished it… I want you to keep it" Isabella's eyes filled with tears, she smiled and nodded. That little book was Lizzie's journal. It had all the songs she had written. Her eyes stopped at a song she hadn't sing yet. Lizzie's eyes glowed, Isabella looked up and Lizzie nodded. They hugged again. Their friends started to approach, but Isabella stopped them. Lizzie got on stage again and sang:

"In these eyes
More than words
More than anything that I've spoken
As the skies turned to gray
My heart's just about to crack open
So the story goes
There's something you should know
Before I walk away
and I blow the ending" Gordo looked at her, trying to think clearly.

"I never wanna be without you
Oh no, here I go
Now you know
What I feel about you
there's no running
I must have been wrong to doubt you (You)
Oh no
There I go
No control
And I'm fallen
So now you know"
Isabella's eyes switched from Lizzie to Gordo, smiling at their happy faces.

"Feel so light
Craving oxygen
All this truth's left me empty
Will you run
Can you handle it
Cause I need you to tell me
Maybe this is bold
But I'm hoping you'll stay for the happy ending" His eyes got lost in her. She looked completely perfect, singing, on stage, where she belonged.

"I never wanna be without you
Oh no, here I go
Now you know
What I feel about you
there's no running
I must have been wrong to doubt chu (You)
Oh no
There I go
No control
And I'm fallen
So now you know" Kate-Ethan, Miranda-Larry and Matt-Melina kissed. Enjoying their friends love puppies stares."No I won't look back

"When I tell you what I think about chu (You)
No I won't look back
When I tell you what I think about chu (You)" He got up and walked to the stage, standing in front of her.

"So the story goes
Yeah
You already know
So don't be a fool
And go spoil the ending" Isabella got on stage and sang with her the chorus twice.

"I never wanna be without you
Oh no, here I go
Now you know
What I feel about chu (you)
There's no running
I must have been wrong to doubt chu (You)
Oh no
There I go
No control
And I'm fallen
So now you know" 22 years old Andie Robinson smiled at the new couple. She had had a fresh start.

"I never wanna be without you
Oh no, here I go
Now you know
What I feel about chu (you)
There's no running
I must have been wrong to doubt chu (You)
Oh no
There I go
No control
And I'm fallen
So now you know" Lizzie couldn't take it more and jumped off stage to her one and only love's arms.

"I love you…" she whispered. He kissed her cheek, then they locked eyes.

"I always did," he whispered back, before kissing her.

The End.

AN: Yeah, I know… Not a great ending…
Anyway, it didn't fit with the other chapter, but it was just cause I changed 'Jericho'.

Hotchic12: I couldn't believe it either! Thanx for reviewing every chapter!
Princess Of Pirates: Thanx a lot!
Mark Of Ctown: You should hear 'Jericho', bcause it's a great song. Anyway, thanx a lot for always reviewing!
JoJoLookAlike1220: I can't wait to read more of your stories. Thanx again.

AN2: Well, apparently it's over. I'm not thinking about writing anything else about this, though I'm kinda sad I didn't give Bella and Andie boyfriends…
Anyway, thanx a lot again!
