In My Life I've Loved You More

Suite Madame Blue

Author's Note: I'll make this short and sweet. I wanted to make these characters real. They're not glamorous, they're not going to hell and back, and they are far from being even close to perfect. They're real, they're alive, and I hope you like this. And I don't own any of these characters (Disney does) except for Jake who's flaws and traits belong to the person I modeled him after.

But somehow you've changed,
You're so far away.
I long for the past
and dream of the days...
with you, Madame Blue… - "Suite Madame Blue" Styx

High School does things to people that when they turn 30, make them wonder what happened and where their lives went. It is also at this point in many of these people's lives that they realize they are in fact, 30, and begin to freak out.

For Lizzie McGuire, this realization happened around the time that her sophomore year occured. And although she wasn't 30 yet or anywhere near it for that matter, she still freaked out.

Now in order to follow why Lizzie decided to do things the way she did, you must know the facts. As an intelligent reader and television viewer, you must also follow along with the truth of things. As eighth grade ended, the friendship of Miranda Sanchez, David Gordon, and Lizzie McGuire remained strong. Then Rome happened, where Isabella happened, where Paolo happened, where Lizzie and Gordo happened…

Again, as an intelligent reader and myself being allowed a certain artistic license, you must also follow along with what is also true and mostly harmless. Lizzie McGuire was fourteen when she kissed her best friend on that rooftop in Rome. And because she was fourteen, she did what many girls her age would do and what Lizzie was trademarked as doing despite her age.

She freaked out.

The bell rang starting her sophomore year and while she was no longer a small fish in an ocean of upperclassmen, her nerves were still alive and well and Lizzie just wanted to get through her first day with little conflict. He was the first one she truly saw that day among the masses on her way to math class and the last one that left her mind later that evening.

After arriving home from Rome two summers ago, Lizzie and Gordo did something nobody ever thought would happen; they went their separate ways. Hurt and pain only followed that summer while Lizzie threw herself immediately into music and Gordo surprised himself by taking up sports. Soon they both moved on, never forgetting the rooftop kiss that both blew them away and apart. Even their friend Miranda couldn't get them to be the same Lizzie and Gordo they used to be.

For Miranda's sake, the pair allowed themselves to be civil towards one another. However, it soon faded and the trio became two separate pairs with one third of the group being split in half. Every so often, one would ask Miranda about the other, but besides these curious instances of small talk, they two had moved on and developed separate lives.

When Lizzie's eyes met Gordo's that day in the hallway, Miranda Sanchez felt a chill run down her back. "Change is in the air," she whispered to herself. Now some people may call this some sort of psychic ability while others would write it off as coincidence. The truth is, these three had interlaced souls and nothing, not even one crazy summer two years ago, could mess that up…

I'm not done. Constructive Criticism is greatly appreciated and any thing else that decides to make its way upon my review board is also greatly appreciated. I'm not gonna beg for reviews, I just hope that you all enjoy where this is going.
