Up in Lizzie's hotel room, Gordo watched over Lizzie as she rested. "She really has had some night," he said to himself, looking at her sleep. "She sure has," said Kate, who was walking in. "Maybe I should
just let her rest," Gordo said, making an attempt to leave. "No, wait," Kate smiled. "Stay," she said. After seeing Lizzie and Gordo being so close, she had to put a stop to it. "I love you," she said. "WHAT?
Kate, you don't know what you're saying. Maybe you should get some rest, too." "I saw you and Lizzie kissing in the lobby today. And then you said that she must've not been feeling well afterward. Did you
say that because you don't like her back? I know that you used to like Lizzie. Maybe you just can't wait for her anymore. You need someone who can react faster instead of waiting for years. I can do that."
Kate looked at Gordo with passion. "Look, you have no idea what you're saying. It's like, 1:00 in the morning, and you must be really sleep deprived. Get some rest, okay?" "Aw, that's so sweet, you care
about me. Alright, sweetie pie, I'll see you in the morning." she said. "You know what? I said the same thing to Lizzie. Does that make ant difference to you?" "It's ok. I've seen plenty of people who like more
than one person at a time. But Lizzie can't be everything you want her to be; she's confused aboout her feelings. But me, I'm willing to go out with you. I know what I want, and I'll do anything to get it."
"KATE! I don't like more than one person right now," Gordo said. Kate just batted her eyelashes. "So that means you're over Lizzie?" "I WAS NEVER OVER LIZZIE! I love her," he whispered loudly so
he wouldn't wake Lizzie. Little did he know that Lizzie was listening the entire time. She felt the need to make it clear to Kate that she loved Gordo as well, so she leaped up, and said, "Kate! Just back off of
him, ok? If he doesn't like you, then stop trying to convince him to love you! It doesn't work. Trust me, I've tried." And at that, Kate just stormed out of the room. But before she did, she said, "I'm moving
into Gordo's room tonight. Gordo's going to have to sleep here tonight with you because all you want to do is be with eachother." Then, she packed, left, and only came back with Gordo's suitcase. "Oh, and
Lizzie, about what I said about you turning into a pumpkin when we get back? Instead, I'm gonna make you a squash!"
"So, I guess we're roomates now?" Lizzie said, trying to lighten the mood. "I guess you're feeling better," Gordo smiled as he unpacked. "You know, Kate was trying to make a move on me. I would never
go out with someone like her. Not even if I got paid with a million dollars," "I'm glad to hear that," Oops... I didn't meant ot say that! "You are?" "Y..yeah. I couldn't stad to see you fall for someone" other
than me "Like her." "Thanks for looking out for me," he said. "Like you've done for me all of these years?" he laughed. "Yeah, like that." Lizzie started to pack for the plane ride home. "You know, the ride's
not until later on tonight," Gordo said, looking at his watch. "It's 2:00 in the morning." Lizzie just shrugged. "So what does Mrs. Ungermeyer have planned for the last day in Rome?" "It's a free day for
everyone to explore." "No chaperones, notheing like that?" "Nope. Mrs. Ungermeyer even said that she'd be sleeping the entire day." Lizzie just plopped on her bed. "Cool," she said, and then dozed off to
sleep.
