A/N: In response to popular demand, here comes another chapter for you all to read and review. I have fully noted down the full plot of my story down to last detail now, the only thing left to do now is to write it and make sure it all 'flows'. Hope you all like it, looking at my notes, this story is going to end in 16 chapters. But good news! I'm going to be filtering out chapters maybe 2 times a week or 3, due to the fact I have no need to think of ideas anymore as their all wrote down in my notes. R&R.

The Plan: Phase Two

Miranda and Gordo rounded the corner to Ethans party holding hands. Miranda had loved the whole day, going to the movies, having that wonderful dinner, Gordo had treated her like a princess all day. It took a lot of thinking and considering the options, but she had finally decided that she would ask out Gordo at the party.

They both entered the house, to find Lizzie stood laughing with a tall brown haired guy at the other end of the room. Miranda told Gordo that she was going to get drinks, and she walked away through the crowd to the mini-bar.

Gordo felt a tap on the shoulder, when he turned around he saw Tudgeman stood there.

"Hey Gordo, hows it going." He said, looking derailed.

"Not so bad, Tudge. What's wrong?" Gordo answered, taking a sip of the drink that Tudge had handed him.

"What do they want?" Tudge asked, and Gordo looked confused.

"Who?"

"Chicks, I mean...I'm busting my ass out there trying to fit into their little mould that makes me an interesting, sexy guy, and I can't seem to figure out what they want." Tudge said, frowning.

"What do you want from a girl?"

"Hey, I don't know... um...to have fun, to get laid! Have someone love me for who I am." Tudge replied, desperately.

"It's not particularly hard, Tudge. Just be yourself, and be true to yourself." Gordo said, feeling proud of himself for giving such good advise.

Tudge had an annoyed look on his face, "It's that easy, huh? Then why don't you drop the whole 'cool guy' act, and go tell Lizzie how you really feel about her?" Tudge nearly shouted.

Gordo looked bemused."I don't feel that way about her."

"Really... So, seeing her with that guy right now, it doesn't bother you?" Tudge said, pointing at Lizzie and her tall, well built 'friend'.

"No. She goes on dates all the time, Tudge, we talk about her dates." Gordo said, getting angry, but also reluctantly feeling a little jealous.

"And your fine with that?"

"Yes!" Gordo reassured him.

"Ok then, so how come your here with only with your friend? If your expecting a girl to come over and do all the work, then your wrong, they don't things that way, trust me." Tudge said.

With that, Miranda tapped Gordo on the shoulder and gave him another drink. She gave him a flirty smile, and tudge's theory was blown out of the water.

"What are the odds?" Tudge said, as he walked away, leaving Gordo to laugh quietly.

"So, want to dance?" Miranda asked.

"Shouldn't we be focusing on the plan, Miranda?" Gordo said, and Miranda sighed. She had tottally forgotten about Lizzie for a moment, only concentrating on Gordo.

"Sure" Miranda said, knowing she was fighting a losing battle for Gordo's affections with Lizzie. Lizzie doesn't deserve a guy like this to care about her so much, Miranda thought. Figuring she would attempt to win him over later on, she gave up her fight, and focused on the plan.

They both edged closer to where Lizzie was, now standing on her own next to the dancefloor, looking lost. She saw Miranda and Gordo, and the biggest smile hit her face. I should go apologise for being so insensitive with them this morning. Oh, I hope they forgive me, Lizzie thought to herself.

They all met in the middle of the room, and for a second all of them stood awkwardly, thinking of what to say.

Gordo broke the silence. "So, have fun with Ethan all day?" He said sarcastically.

"No, it was horrible, all I could think about was how guilty I was about letting both of you guys down this morning." Miranda smiled."And I've also decided that I'm not quite as attracted to Ethan now as I was in middle school, he's just a jock. There's not a sensitive bone in his body. I need someone who can be romantic." Gordo finally smiled.

"No worries, Liz. We forgive you. Just don't ruin the last day of my next visit to Hillridge, huh?" Miranda said, and they all laughed. The plan had worked. After, Lizzie told them that she had to go to the bathroom, then they would leave. Lizzie ran towards the ladies, and left Miranda and Gordo standing alone again.

Miranda seized the moment and homed in."So, you haven't got a girlfriend anymore, right?"

"Nope, I'm a free man, at last." Gordo said. "Why do you ask?"

"Well, because I was wondering, and I know this might sound strange coming from me, but I think I'm not the only one in this group that may like their best friend as more than a friend." Miranda said, and looked into Gordo's eyes.

"Miranda, I'm flattered, and I think I may like you as more than a friend too, but I'm going through some stuff right now, and I really don't have time for a long distance relationship right now. Maybe soon we could..." Gordo was interupted.

"No problem, Gordo. I understand. God, I feel so stupid now." Miranda said, blushing.

"Don't be, maybe next time you are visiting, I might be in a better state of mind for that kind of thing." Gordo answered, and he hoped she took his hint.

"Oh... Ok, until then."Miranda said, and she playfully punched Gordo's arm.

Meanwhile Lizzie had rounded the corner back to where her two best friends were stood.

"Ok, so are we ready to go, Musketeers?" She said, and they all walked out of the party doors with arms over eachothers shoulders.

A/N: The plot thickens. Miranda's chasing after Gordo may have knocked down his defences a slight bit, but can she woo him enough for him to stop thinking about Lizzie?

Read and Review. If I'm in the mood later tonight, I might even write another chapter! Two in one day, thats like, a new record.
