"Howdy! Welcome to Laser Corral!" a man dressed as a cowboy greeted them as they walked in.

"Oh! There's Miranda!" Lizzie exclaimed. Miranda and Carlos were already checked in and were selecting their names at a computer in the back.

"Miranda's here?" Gordo asked, surprised. Lizzie nodded.

"I asked her to meet us here. I mean, what's the point of reliving memories if you don't include everyone who was part of it?" Kate signed them all up and they headed to Miranda and Carlos to come up with their Laser Corral alter egos. This had always been Lizzie's favorite part.

"Miranda, who are you?" Lizzie asked, looking at the list of players on the screen.

"MexicanSexGoddess," Miranda replied casually. Carlos pinched her ass and howled. "And believe me, baby, you are a sex goddess," he said seductively. Lizzie, Gordo, and Kate, were all taken aback. Um, ok… Lizzie thought. Gordo and Lizzie looked at each other uncomfortably.

"Wait, so you're not a virgin?" Lizzie asked. Carlos laughed.

"Lizzie, not everyone wants to save themselves for marriage like you do, you know," Miranda said.

Miranda's no virgin," Carlos told her. "Last night she let me – "

"Carlos! There are kids here!" Miranda interrupted.

"Oh yeah? Let's give them a little preview of what they have to look forward to," Carlos said in a raunchy voice. Miranda laughed and pressed Carlos up against the wall, kissing him passionately.

"Jesus Christ! Why don't you get a room?" Kate shouted. She had been against inviting Miranda from the beginning, and had only called her because Lizzie insisted on it.

"Actually, that's a good idea," Miranda said icily. She grabbed Carlos' wrist and led him towards the exit. "Let's get the hell out of here!" Lizzie, Kate, and Gordo watched them.

"Um, since when did Miranda become such a slut?" Lizzie asked. She didn't know what to do anymore. She'd tried to patch things up with Miranda but she honestly didn't know if she could still be friends with her. They were just growing apart and maybe no matter how much they tried to stop it, it was just inevitable. Gordo sensed that Lizzie was upset and gave her a quick hug.

"Come on, McGuire! It's time for Laser Corral!" he said cheerily, pumping a fist through the air. Lizzie squealed and hurried into the holding room. The entire time that their guide, Bradley, was explaining the rules, Lizzie was staring at Gordo. He looked so hot. Gordo caught her staring and winked at her. Bradley opened the gates and everyone ran to their favorite hiding spots, waiting for other people to invade so that they could shoot them with a laser gun.

"Let's stay together," Lizzie said. Kate snorted.

"You guys do what you want. I'm hunting down every person in this room," she announced, running to a nearby cove. Kate hated to lose, and she sure as hell was not about to let a group of 10 year old kids beat her at laser tag.

"Okay, so I guess it's just us," Gordo said.

"You're with me?" Lizzie asked.

"Why not?" Gordo smiled. "For old times sake." Lizzie ran to the second story and took a right, heading for her favorite hiding spot. It was a small cove in the corner of the building, and she really doubted that anyone else even knew about it.

"Crouch down!" she instructed Gordo. They crouched behind the plastic "rock" wall and Lizzie glanced at Gordo. He looked skeptical.

"How are we going to shoot anyone here?" he asked. "Maybe we should move." Lizzie shook her head.

"I didn't come here to play laser tag," she admitted. She leaned in towards Gordo and kissed him, backing him up against the corner and running her hands through his soft curly hair.

"Gordo, I know that we've been best friends forever," she said. "But sometimes I wonder what it would be like if we were more than that." She paused, waiting for a response. Gordo looked pleased.

"So do I," he confessed. "So, do you want to be more?" Lizzie looked up at him, her green eyes hopeful.

"Do you?"

"I asked you first," Gordo teased. Lizzie pouted and Gordo decided he would just go first. "Okay. I'll just go ahead and say it, since I know you're probably too nervous. Yes. I do want to be more. And I think that we can. I know you don't want this to hurt our friendship, and neither do I. But we can't just turn our backs on it. I say, we at least try it for a while. If it's not working, we'll go back to being just friends," Lizzie couldn't believe it. She'd been waiting for this since 8th grade. "Lizzie McGuire," Gordo said. "Will you be my girlfriend?" Lizzie laughed, nodding her head.

"Of course!" she answered. Suddenly a little boy popped out from behind the cove, hitting them both with a stream of red light from his laser gun.

"Got you!" he shouted. "You shouldn't talk during laser tag! You gave away your hiding place!"
