A/N: Hey, I'm really sorry that I haven't updated for like a month! I was loaded with homework that's all. Anyway, I'll try update more frequently from now on!

I realise I haven't mentioned a disclaimer! Here it is:

Chapter 1: The re-cap is taken from The Lizzie McGuire Movie (which belongs to Disney) and all the characters belong to Disney. I don't own anything to do with Lizzie McGuire; I just own the plot of this story/chapter.

Chapter 2: All the characters belong to Disney. I don't own anything to do with Lizzie McGuire; I just own the plot of this story/chapter.

Chapter 3: Same as chapter 2 (above).

Here's ch 3, hope you all like it!

Chapter 3 – Facing the problem of Highschool

Re-cap:

"Miranda what are you doing here? I didn't think I'd see you until high school!" Lizzie exclaimed. Miranda hugged Gordo and laughed.

"I'll explain it later. In the mean time, here are your presents!" Miranda said cheerfully as she handed Gordo a purple gift and Lizzie a pink one.

Presents? Miranda should holiday more often! Toon Lizzie grinned.

"A new hacky sack! Thanks!" Gordo shouted, and immediately began bouncing it around.

"Boys," Miranda laughed, shaking her head, as Lizzie opened her present. "Oh by the way, if you don't mind me asking, how come you and Gordo were holding hands before?"

A stunned look crossed Lizzie's face.

Since when did my best friend become a spy that watches my every move? Great, MORE explaining to do, Toon Lizzie said, rolling her eyes.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Uh…I…you see, um…" Lizzie stuttered, racking her brain for an answer. She glanced at Gordo who looked as shocked, scared, surprised or whatever Lizzie felt, as she did. Lizzie decided there was no use in lying, after all, she was horrible at it.

Unfortunately, Lizzie wasn't able to move her lips, so Gordo stood in. "Lizzie and I are…" he looked at the ground quickly. He was obviously embarrassed. And believe me, this is GORDO we're talking about, so this must be a very serious case of embarrassment.

Luckily, Miranda read both their minds (and expressions) and figured out the next word to come. "Oh my gosh…TOGETHER!" she screeched, with a grin spreading across her face rapidly.

"Uh…yeah…" Lizzie replied nervously, scratching her head.

"I knew it! I knew it! This is so cute!" Miranda squealed, clapping her hands. She realised she was freaking both Gordo and Lizzie out, so she changed her cheery expression to a serious one. "I mean…so uh, when and how did this happen?"

Lizzie took a deep breath. "Well it all started when…"

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Forty-five minutes later, Miranda, Gordo and Lizzie were in the McGuire lounge room eating snacks. Lizzie had just finished explaining Rome, from her 15 minutes of fame with Paolo and how her and Isabella, a girl who looked just like her, humiliated him, to her and Gordo (Gordo had left the room for that part).

"I am never, ever going to Mexico City for that period of time, again!" Miranda said, annoyed. "Look how much I missed? I can't believe you sang in front of like, a million people without collapsing!"

"Hey watch it, there!" Lizzie said in fake shock. Then the trio all laughed. Together. It was nice having the three amigos together again.

"Can you guys believe we're starting highschool at the end of the summer?" Lizzie asked her friends.

"Yeah, we're at the bottom of the food chain again," Gordo said, rolling his eyes. "But then again, we could create a whole new image for ourselves."

"Uh, Gordo since when do you care about what the other people think?" Miranda asked suspiciously, grabbing a handful of popcorn.

"I don't mean I wanna be popular," Gordo explained, "I mean we could just show people what we're made of!"

"For once, I think I agree with that Gordo," Miranda laughed.

"Yeah we won't be known as the three goofs!" Lizzie joked.

And I could avoid some major fashion don'ts! Toon Lizzie said, remembering some horrible middle school outfits.

They all laughed again. Lizzie paused, as though she was thinking about something.

"What's wrong Lizzie?" Gordo asked, breaking the silence. Lizzie smiled.

"Nothing, but you guys have to promise me something," she replied.

"Sure," Miranda said. "Anything," Gordo agreed.

"Promise me we'll always stick together, at least through highschool," Lizzie said,

"Deal," Miranda and Gordo agreed. Miranda stuck her hand out. "Promise," she said. Lizzie giggled and put her hand on Miranda's. "Promise," she repeated. Gordo put his hand on Lizzie's and repeated what his friends had said. "Friends," he said smiling. They all lifted the their hands into the air and shouted, "Friends to the end!"

A few minutes later, when the trio were in Lizzie's room, the subject of highschool came up again.

"So…do you reckon we'll survive the first day?" Miranda asked, afraid of the answer.

Lizzie put her head in her hands. "We're dead!" she muttered.

Gordo raised his hands. "Hey, why wouldn't we? Have all forgotten what we said before?" Miranda and Lizzie raised their eyebrows. This oughta be good.

"I mean why wouldn't we survive, right?" Gordo said uneasily, realising he was becoming nervous as well. Maybe his friends' phobia of highschool was contagious.

Miranda and Lizzie exchanged glances.

Face it McGuire, you're life is over! Toon Lizzie yelled dramatically. Hey, I better write up my will… she realised, pulling out a pen and a pad of paper.

A/N: Hope it was ok (sorry if it was too short)! Please review, and feel free to give ideas! I'm kinda having a block so I could use some help… Anyway, I promise I'll update soon! angel1992
