A/N: Well, i have decided that I am going to have this story completely finished by the forth of March at the latest. Thats just under a month from now, and i'm hoping to make it at least 10 chapters, as in my opinion, the bigger the drama, the more the reader gets hooked on a good peice of writing. I hope this is a good peice! I'd also like to inform you all that I took the risk of write the ending earlier tonight. And no i'm not going to give any hints. So dont bother emailing me asking for info. :P So, the start and the ending are complete, but the middle is still a mystery. I have no idea what i'll write about, this is why i ask desperately for any ideas you guys might have. However. I have wrote the ending, and i'm sticking to it. So that means that a couple of the HUGE events that lead to ending are already fixed into place. I Have no idea when or how they will happen though. Anyways, on with the third installment.

Disclaimer: Disney own it all... dam them to hell.

It was finally here. The first day of High school for the now, Two musketeers. Miranda's parents had liked it so much in Mexico, that they had decided to move there for good. This news was not welcomed nicely by either of one the remaining friends. Neither of them had managed to gather the courage to call the other since getting off the plane from Rome. Lizzie, was just too embarrassed or too scared of what she or Gordo might say. Gordo was just too plain scared that he might not say anything and just hang the phone up on his best friend.

"Hello? Oh thank God, its you Miranda. I thought it might be Gordo." Lizzie said, in utter relief that it was the female part of her best friends on the other end of the line.

"Erm, yeah, it's me. So have you still not talked to Gordo about what happened? If you don't feel anything other than just wanting to be friends, then you need to talk to him and make sure he doesn't think you do. Thats just cruel, it feels like you are leading him on, Lizzie. But if you feel the same way he feels, and I know he does, because he told me... if you do, then you have to talk to him about what the two of you are going to do about it." Miranda finished, and she took in a deep breath.

"I know your right, Miranda, but its just so hard to make the first move, He's my best friend... If I suddenly try to flirt with him, he might get scared and not talk to me ever again. But if I don't talk to him, then he'll think I hate him, and still not ever talk to me again. Both choices end up with either talking to him, and not knowing what's going to happen, or not talking to him and losing him forever." Lizzie said. After hearing herself say all that, she had made up her mind, she would talk to Gordo the first chance she got. This needed to be straightened out.

"Well it seems I'm not needed anymore for this situation." Miranda said, knowing her best friend all too well. Miranda knew that after that speech, Lizzie knew what she was doing was crazy.

"Ok, Randa. I got to go get my Gordo back." Lizzie said, with a determined look on her face.

"That's my girl. Ok i'll talk to you soon, chica!" And she hung up.

Lizzie had a long shower, then put on her regular jeans, and a green top with half cut sleeves and yellow flowers on the bottom edge. She then got her lunch, said goodbye to her mom, and walked to high school.

The very thought of high school and how scary it was all going to be had suddenly disappeared for Lizzie, being replaced by utter terror about what she was going to say to Gordo, once it got to the time she had to explain the last few months events to him.

Gordo on the other hand, was even more scared than Lizzie was. He had gotten up at around 5am this morning, and hadn't got much sleep the previous night to start off with. He had been up all night thinking about Lizzie. He got out of bed, had a quick shower, and put on some jeans, and a button up top. He still felt weird wearing jeans, even after a couple of months of wearing them. He had no idea why he had started to wear them, only knowing that Lizzie thought they looked cool.

He walked out of his bedroom, and down the stairs.

"Mom, I'm gona take my breakfast with me, I'll eat it on the way to high school." He said, with a smile. He liked the way 'going to high school' sounded.

"Ok, David. Don't forget to talk to Lizzie, do you hear me? she's a nice girl. I won't have you not talk to her any longer. It'll only make her feel more and more uneasy around you, and more insecure." Said Erin Gordon.

Gordo's parents were both psychologists and really knew how the mind worked, especially his mom, she knew exatly how the female mind worked, and her advise had helped him through some tight spots before. Maybe he should talk to Lizzie.

Gordo reached the doorway, with toast in hand.

"Bye mom... I'll take you up on your advise." Gordo shouted to his mother, as he walked out of the door and into the next phase of his life, High school.

By the time Lizzie had made it to school, it was only 8:15. She couldn't believe that she had made it to school early! this had never happened before in her entire life. Maybe this new place was going to be a good change for her.

Oh no. Here he comes, Ok, Lizzie, breathe... just breathe and take it slow. She kept repeating in her mind, as Gordo opened the doors to Hillridge High School.

They both ran towards eachother, and both opened their mouths at the same time.

"I'm sorry" They both said to eachother at exactly the same time. They both laughed awkwardly, and Gordo let Lizzie go first.

"Ok, Gordo, I'm sorry for not talking to you at all these past few days. I'm sorry for ruining your whole trip in Rome. I cant believe I shut you out after my huge speech about us two having adventures and starting over. I should never have done what I did, but there's one thing I am not sorry for. I am not sorry for kissing you on that balcony. You had done so much for me on that trip and I just wanted to be close to you in anyway possible." Lizzie said, and she looked at her best friends face, hoping for an 'Apology accepted'.

"Lizzie, it makes me so glad that you are still my best friend after all of this drama. I couldn't ask for a better friend, and yes, your apology is accepted. I just hope we can move on from all this and start again, with a new slate." Gordo finished, and Lizzie jumped into Gordo's arms. For the rest of the day Lizzie and Gordo exchanged stories about their own experiences in Rome and in middle school. Gordo felt that he had so much to tell his best friend, so much that he wanted to reveal. He felt this new bond between them, and it was even more stronger than their relationship had been before Rome.

"So, my house after school?" Said Lizzie, with a hopeful smile.

"Sounds good." Gordo answered, happy to have his best friend back on speaking terms. There was still a big weight hovering over them both, however, the fact that they had not discussed their feelings for eachother. But to either of them, this didn't matter at the moment. They only wanted to enjoy eachothers company as much as they could for now. They both figured that they would just hang out for a while over the next few weeks, and everything would just slide into place.

Gordo reached Lizzie's house at around 7, and before he could knock, the door opened to a gleeful Lizzie. She had a huge smile on her face. She quickly ushered her best friend inside and they made their way to the living room.

They both sat down, and Gordo took off his coat.

"So, anything inparticular you wanted to watch this evening?" Lizzie said, hoping that he would get the hint, and pick a film that he knew she would like.

"Hmm..." he hovered over the science fiction side, and looked back to Lizzie who was now laughing, as she had worked out he had got the hint, and was teasing her.

"Don't tease, you got the hint...pick a chick-flick... now!" She shouted, both of them laughing. He picked out a film called 'Boys And Girls' and they sat down to watch it. Lizzie moved closer to Gordo, and Gordo put his arm around her shoulders. It didn't feel weird for either of them, they actually started to feel more comfortable around eachother, for the first time in a year.

"You know, after our little chat earlier today, I don't feel weird at all in this situation. I'm happy that we are best friends again, Lizzie." Gordo said. Wow, i cant believe i just said that, He thought to himself. He then realised that his usually awkward feelings towards Lizzie had disappeared, and she felt like his best friend again, not his crush.

"I think your right, Gordo. This doesn't feel at all uncomfortable." Lizzie said. And she knew he was correct. They felt like best friends again, and everytihng was right with the two musketeers again.

The movie finished, and it was time for Gordo to head out. He didn't want to leave, he wanted to stay and be in her company for a little longer, but knowing the wrath of Mr.McGuire, he sided against it.

"Bye Lizzie. See you at school tomorrow!" Gordo shouted behind him.

"Bye Gordo!" Lizzie replied.

A/N: Well , that was interesting. I know it wasn't so fluffy as you might thought it would be. But it'll all get a bit more raunchy after a couple more chapters of Lizzie and Gordo's progress back to trusting eachother again and becoming a more stronger unit as best friends rather than lovers. Keep reading to find out what happens next. RandR!
