Chapter 5: A relaxing day before a big night

Lizzie could tell by the look on Gordo's face that he wasn't happy and probably knew what was going on.

Lizzie smiled up at Adam and said, "Adam and I have some news."

Adam smiled at everyone.

"Lizzie and I are together!"

Lizzie squealed with delight and kissed him.

"Aren't you guys happy for us?" Lizzie asked.

"I'm ecstatic! I'm so fucking happy I could jump for joy!" Gordo screamed and then stormed out.

"Gordo wait!" Lizzie started to go after him.

Miranda stopped her.

"Don't! You have no idea how much you just hurt him!" Miranda went to follow him.

Lizzie looked up at Adam.

"That didn't go so well did it?"

He kissed her and Lizzie deepened it.

He pulled away abruptly and narrowed his eyes at her.

"What's going on between you and Gordo? I mean, why did he get so mad?"

Lizzie looked taken aback. "Nothing! Gordo and I have never dated!"

"There's more to 'going on' than dating... kissing?" He looked even more suspicious.

"Baby look, I swear nothing is or has ever been going on between Gordo and I! We have always been friends and I guess he feels more for me than I for him."

"Promise?"

"Of course." Lizzie smiled at him and had a mischievous look in his eye.

"Good!" He pulled her close and kissed her. "You should go to bed. Tomorrow is a big day." He smiled at her like a Cheshire cat.

"Oh, and what is going on tomorrow that makes it so big?"

"Nothing... go to bed!" He kissed her and gave her a little shove towards the steps. She laughed and went.

She was content that her life was taking a turn for the better. She also wondered what was going on the next day that Adam had been talking about.

She got the most rest that night since the night of the accident.

The next day Miranda had decided to take Lizzie to a spa, so that way her parents could set everything up.

Lizzie was excited to go to the spa. She had never been to one before and wanted to do everything they offered. Miranda was just as excited.

When they pulled up to the spa, Lizzie couldn't believe how big it was! As soon as they walked in two people rushed towards them and gave them instructions. They were handed robes, towels, and slippers and told to take a shower.

There were different types of showers; peppermint, to revitalize; lavender, to calm and jasmine, to soothe.

Lizzie chose the jasmine while Miranda chose the lavender.

The showers certainly relaxed them. As soon as they stepped out they smiled at each other.

Soon after they were whisked off to get a massage, which was heavenly. Then they got a mud bath and a soak in the hot tub.

Soon they were ready for hair, Lizzie loved getting her hair washed. It felt like a massage for you scalp. The stylist met with Lizzie about her hair.

"Hi, my name is Angela Quinn." She stuck her hand out.

"Hi, Lizzie McGuire." She smiled at her.

"I have some questions for you." She sat down in a chair and instructed Lizzie to do the same.

"How long have you had that hair style?"

"Umm... probably two years." Lizzie confessed. She looked nervous as Angela focused on her.

"Okay and are you going for a change today or do you want to stay the same??

Hmm Thought Lizzie. I don't see harm in change.

"A change."

Angela gave a huge grin. "Fantastic! I know just what to do for you!"

For what seemed like hours Lizzie sat in that chair. She was starting to get nervous. Her hair had been cut, dyed and highlighted. She had no clue what it looked like.

At last Angela finished blow-drying it and announced that she was ready for Lizzie to see it.

Lizzie gasped.

"Oh my god! I love it!" She gushed happily.

Her hair had been cut to just below her shoulders with layers up to her nose. It was a dirty blonde color with subtle red and brown highlights. It looked great!

"I can't wait to show Miranda!"

"Well let's find her!" Angela guided Lizzie over to Miranda's chair and her eyes popped out of their sockets. Miranda looked horrible!

She had been given a shag cut and it was also dyed a dirty blonde. A horrible combination for her.

Miranda had yet to see herself.

"So? Lizzie! You look amazing... So what about me?"

"Umm... look in the mirror!" Lizzie tried to sound cheerful but her tone brought a look of horror to Miranda's face and she turned around to look in the mirror. She almost started crying!

"Alex, I need to talk to you alone!" Angela took Miranda's stylist, Alex, across the room and started yelling at her.

Miranda just kept muttering, "my hair." With those tears in her eyes.

"Miss McGuire, Miss Sanchez. This spa visit is on me. I am really very sorry about all the confusion with your hair Miss Sanchez. But if you come back in about one week I can fix your color and if you are willing to let me I can straighten up your cut." Angela told them.

She picked up the scissors and added some layers. The cut looked 100% better.

"Go get your nails done!" Angela ordered at them and the girls went off to you manicures and pedicures.

As Miranda pulled the car into the driveway she was relieved to see no extra cars, meaning they had parked down the street. Even her parent's car was gone. Miranda knew that was so it looked like no one was there. All the lights were off.

"I wonder where Adam and your parents are." Lizzie wondered aloud.

"More like where Adam is!" Miranda quipped and they both giggled.

As they walked up to the door Lizzie was a note that said

Went to eat. Come and join us at Stoneys! Happy Birthday Lizzie!

She read it aloud.

"Well let's go in and change then!" Miranda said.

Lizzie opened the door and fumbled around for the light switch. She found it and flipped it.

SURPRISE

Someone grabbed Lizzie's arm causing her to scream. She was so shocked. She hadn't had any idea.

"Hey babe!" Adam came up and kissed her.

"Hey! What's going on! You guys scared me half to death!"

"We know!" he gave her a cheeky grin.

Someone had started the music and everyone had started talking to each other.

"By the way Lizzie, I love your hair! But... what happened to Miranda's?" He shot a look towards Miranda who was in a heated argument with her boyfriend Josh.

"Don't ask." Lizzie said as she giggled.

The night went on perfectly. Until the gifts.

Lizzie got two plane tickets to Maryland to see her real mother. She knew she was taking Miranda or Adam. She just didn't know which one yet. That gift came from Miranda's parents.

Adam ended up giving her a gorgeous bracelet. It was white gold and had x's and o's linked. The os were diamonds. Lizzie told him he had already gotten her a gift.

"Fine, I can take if back!" He declared playfully.

"Oh no you cant!" Lizzie kissed him and said, "Thanks baby!"

Everything was fine until Gordo's gift.

When Lizzie opened it she was shocked. It looked like an engagement ring.

"Gordo, what is this?" She asked in a small voice.

Adam looked mad as hell. What the fuck is he thinking? Lizzie is my girlfriend!

"Well, it's a friendship ring." He gave her a weak smile. This is the girl I love! He thought.

"I'm sorry Gordo. I can't accept this." Lizzie gave it back to him.

"Why! You don't want to be friends?!" He was semi shouting at her now.

"Gordo you know I'm with Adam!"

"Dammit Liz! I don't want to fuck you! I just want to be friends! Don't be such a bitch!" He screamed.

"Gordo!" Lizzie stood up as he started to get up.

"Don't talk to her like that Gordo. She deserves better!" Adam stood up and got in Gordo's face.

"Yeah, better than you." Gordo stared at him.

Adam shot at him quickly and punched him.
