A/N: I know these chapters haven't been as "spicy" as the first few, but I'm going somewhere with this (and this isn't supposed to be a porno anyways!) . Give me a few more chapters and it will be juicy again. Until then, enjoy the story. ___________________________________________________________

Gordo was shaken away early the next morning. "David, time to get up!"

"What time is it?" Gordo demanded.

"Come on David, it's 5:30, we need to get moving."

"Okay, okay, I'm up!" Gordo said getting out of bed and searching for some clothes.

Ten minutes later they were in the car and on the road toward the lake. Ladybug Lake wasn't the most impressive place in the world, but it's where Gordo and his father used to go all the time when Gordo was young. It was about 2 hours drive and hidden back in a little forest.

Gordo's father looked over at him. He was already back asleep. Mr. Gordon sighed and continued the long drive to Ladybug Lake.

When they got to the lake Mr. Gordon parked the car. He went in to the little supply store and bought worms, two fishing licenses, and rented a boat. When he got back to the car he attempted to wake up Gordo. He shook him slightly.

"Lizzie leave me alone and go back to sleep!" Gordo shouted. This caused his father to break into hysterical laughter. "What's going on?" Gordo asked as he sat up.

"Well, son, we're here at the lake for one, and secondly you called me Lizzie!"

Gordo blushed deep red in embarrassment, which caused his father to laugh harder. Gordo got out of the car and started to grab his fishing gear. He dragged it over to the boat. In a few minutes they were rowing for the middle of the lake.

When they had gotten a ways away from shore, Gordo's father suddenly stopped rowing. "David, I wanted to talk to you about something."

"What is it Dad?"

"I wanted to talk to you about Lizzie. You two have been best friend for forever, and I just want to make sure that you know what you're doing. Sometimes when two people know each other so well, they start to believe that they are in love, even though it's really just-"

Gordo cut him off. "Dad, I do know what I'm doing. I've been in love with Lizzie for five years now. There's no mistake here. I really think she's the one."

"David, you're too young to know that. You should be thinking about college and other teenage stuff, not marriage."

"I didn't say that I was going to marry her right now! I just know that she makes me happy and I don't ever want to lose her."

"Then keep a firm grasp on her, David, girls like that don't come around too often."

Gordo and his dad spent the rest of the time at the lake talking and laughing like they hadn't done in years. They didn't end up catching anything even near big enough to keep, but that didn't matter to either one of them.

On the car ride home Gordo turned to his dad and said, "Thanks Dad, for everything today. It really meant a lot to me. And thanks for what you said about Lizzie. I know I'm too young to get married, but life in LA just wouldn't be the same without her."

"You're welcome, David. We'll have to do this more often. When you come home for breaks and such. I know you'll do great at UCLA."

They pulled up into the driveway and unpacked the car. After the long day they had, they were both tired and headed to their rooms. Gordo called Lizzie and said goodnight to her and then went to bed. He was glad his father and him had their day together.
