A/N: Ok here it comes, the chapter I've been waiting to write for a long time, and the chpater you guys have been waiting for a few days now, so here goes. I'm gona start to alternate between my two ongoing stories, doing a chapter for each of them in turn, however 'True Colours' will only be 3 chapters. WARNING... very slight M content in this chapter, but it's the only one which there is.

I haven't added a disclaimer for a while so: I don't own any of the characters out of the LM series or Movie. Disney Does.

Chapter 11 Title: A Breakup, a Fight, and a Revelation

It was 2 days after Adam had broken up with Lizzie over the phone and given her no time to explain herself. This had resulted in Lizzie questioning her own motives, and why she could never seem to hold down a serious relationship for too long. It couldn't be that her friendship with Gordo was interfering with her lovelife could it?

Lizzie had called both Miranda the morning after being dumped. Her feelings of rejection had finally caught up with her after keeping them locked inside last night.

She had cried into the reciever, feeling deeply sorry for herself, and also a little annoyed that she couldn't get a guy to stop being jealous of her relationship with Gordo, and Gordo could somehow keep Miranda from doing the same.

Presently, Lizzie and Gordo were stood together in the line at the local movie theatre, waiting to watch the latest romance movie.

"Gordo, Please, please. I really wana see this movie! I need this to help me off the rebound... maybe it'll help me to come to terms with the whole Adam thing, I don't know." Lizzie said to Gordo. Gordo pu his hands by his side, and gave in.

"Well, if your sanity is at stake, and it'll save me having to give you a shoulder to cry on for the next week or so, then Ok, fine." Lizzie cheered, and hugged Gordo.

They paid for their tickets and started to walk into the theatre.

"So... how's it going with the girlfriend nowadays?" Lizzie said quickly as they sat down.

"Miranda? It's...Ok." Gordo answered, not sounding too enthused.

"Just Ok?"

"Yeah... what am I supposed to say?" Gordo said, and Lizzie sighed heartily. Boys..., She thought, How could they be so stupid?

"Well do you like her?... is she... 'The One' ?" Lizzie pressed.

"I dunno...I'm workin on it!" Gordo said, and Lizzie playfully punched Gordo's arm in annoyance.

Lizzie started to watch the movie, the characters were two people who fell in love, but broke up, and spent time apart from a few years but eventually realised they were meant for eachother, and got together in the end. After the movie finished, Lizzie sat there, thinking. She had realised something. These movie's were a load of crap, nothing like real life. No one on this earth is likely to go through something like these characters have, especially not her. She realised that if the movie had been real life, the characters would probably have broken up and gone their seperate ways never to meet again, certainly not get together and walk off into the sunset. It all seemed so fake to her.

Lizzie kept her mouth shut all the way to the digital bean after the movie. They both sat down, and Gordo went for drinks. Lizzie couldn't hold in her annoyance with the world any longer.

Gordo sat back down, and Lizzie erupted.

"Gordo, I wish we hadn't gone to watch that movie."

"You're the one that wanted to go." Replied Gordo, handing Lizzie her drink, and sipping his.

"Yeah, I thought it would make me feel better." She said, clenching her fists.

They both sat at odds with eachother for a few seocnds, then Lizzie completely blew a fuse. She leant right the way into Gordo's face, and nearly shouted at him.

"I mean... there's such a lot of bullshit."

"Bullshit!" Gordo responded, shocked at Lizzie's use of language.

"Just show me a movie that takes place six months after the characters get together... ya know.. when it all starts to fall apart..."

Gordo sighed. "Lizzie..."

"It's just that I don't think that any of us know who we really are...so how are we supposed to know who 'Mr.Right' is?" Said Lizzie rising to her feet.

Lizzie had lost it. She strolled over to a couple that were sharing a smoothie on the next table over.

"How do you know that he's mister Right?" Lizzie asked the girl. She looked at Lizzie as if she had gone crazy.

"Is is because your both wearing black, is it cause you both drinking a smoothie? Or maybe you both share some other trait that is the key to relationships, huh?" Lizzie shouted. She then turned around to the rest of the people in the cafe.

"Who here has ever been dumped?" And Lizzie put her hand up.When no one joined her, she tried again. "Ok... who here has dumped someone?" Lizzie put up the other hand. Still no takers.

"I mean we've all been in love... but how do we know it's true love until it's over? So what if... What if there is no 'one' or 'two' or 'three'? I mean what if... there is no such thing as TRUE LOVE?" Everyone in the Bean was sat or stood there, shocked.

"But... we're all just too afraid to admit it, so... we keep on dressing up. We keep on pretending to be something that we're not..." She started to cry. "We keep turning our lives upside down...losing ourselves in something that we hope is better that what we think that we are." Lizzie cried even more, she looked at Gordo, and frowned.

"What if that special thing that we all are looking for... JUST DOESN'T EXIST!" Lizzie finished in a shout. With that, she stormed out of the cafe, crying. Gordo immediately ran after her, almost crying himself.

Gordo had felt so sorry for his best friend throughout the whole speech, however he felt that she had said something very deep and insightful, and from the heart, which had touched him deeply.

He found her outside the cafe, leant against a wall, crying.

He walked up to her, just wanting to make it all go away, so that she could be happy.

"You okay?" Stupid question, Gordo. He thought.

"Oh yeah... fine." She said, laughing slightly through her tears.

"I was just working on my fear of public speaking..." Then it was Gordo's turn to laugh slightly. He thought back to the last time she had to speak in public, she was a total disaster at graduation.

"I mean... why does everything just have to be... just so... just so..." Lizzie couldn't find the words.

"I dunno..." answered Gordo, trying to comfort her.

Lizzie reached out and hugged her best friend tightly.

"Your shaking..." Gordo whispered into her ear.

"Well what did you expect, Gordon?" Lizzie replied, half crying, half laughing.

Lizzie pulled out of the hug and leant back on the wall.

"I don't know what's wrong with me... I... can't seem to hold down anything solid." Lizzie said, hiccuping.

"Maybe your getting your period?" Gordo said, smiling.

"Heh...Maybe..." Laughed Lizzie. Gordo was being so great right now. She loved him so much...

They both looked into eachothers eyes. Gordo reached up to her face, and wiped a tear off of her cheek softly. Lizzie was caught in the moment. Before she knew what was happening, she had leant towards Gordo, and they were kissing. They shared a kiss for a few seconds, and Gordo pulled out.

"Wait... hold on a second..." Gordo started to get seocnd thoughts.

"No..." Lizzie said, pulling him back in for a more passionate kiss. She threw her arms around his neck and they kissed on the corner of the street for what seemed like a few minutes. Gordo at first was reluctant, but it all felt so natural to him. He let her take him up to her room, and he lay on the bed. She shut the door, and locked it. They slowly started to undress eachother, all the time kissing and their skin touching places in the other that it had never done before.

Gordo laid under the covers of Lizzie's bed for a few minutes afterwards, still very tired. He stared up, and smiled. He thought of all the times in his early teens where he would fantasise about doing what he had just done with Lizzie. Everything they had done seemed so right, and so natural. He was so happy right now. He leant over Lizzie, who was asleep. Everything was perfect.

Lizzie, unbeknown to Gordo wasn't asleep. She was waging an internal conflict about what she felt about Gordo, what they had just done, and what cruel and evil punishment that Miranda would inflict upon her once she found out.

A/N: Heheh... I've been waiting for that chapter for a long time. R&R
