After their successful discussion with Lizzie's future-in-laws, the duo walked back to the car followed closely by Mr and Mrs Gordon. Gordo speed- dialled Miranda on his cell-phone. After 3 rings, Miranda answered

"Hello, Miranda Sanchez speaking. May I know who this is?" Miranda asked.

"Hello, Miranda? This is Gordo. We are having dinner at Lizzie's so I think we won't be able to make it to Digital Bean for dinner. Lizzie says you can come too, if you want..." Gordo trailed off, wondering whether to tell his best friend the good news. He decided not to spoil the 'surprise'.

"Sure! Be over in a jiffy! See ya. Send my love to Lizzie. Oh wait, am I supposed to ask Kate, Ethan and Larry?" Miranda answered, a little suspicious of Gordo's sudden halt in his speech. She shook the feeling off and slipped on her favourite jeans and tank top.

"Uh, Lizzie says no." Gordo replied after asking Lizzie for her opinion. "See ya when we get there!" Gordo rang off and turned to Lizzie.

As they reached Lizzie's house, she pulled into the driveway and spotted Miranda's black Mercedes. She had also got her license recently and started showing off.

"Ooh good, Miranda's here! We can start immediately." She stepped out of her car and took Gordo's hand tenderly.

Mr Gordon remarked to his wife, who was standing next to him, "look at those two lovebirds. I can't wait to see our grandchildren. I bet 50 bucks that first born is a boy."

"You sick man. Hmmph! I bet 50 bucks that a set of twins will come out first." Mrs Gordon betted sarcastically, but confident as Lizzie had a twin, Isabella, who was permanently staying in Rome. She slapped him on the arm and walked in, her nose up in the air.

At the table, the four adults crammed themselves and started to talk. Jo and Mrs Gordon chattered excitedly about the gowns, who to invite and about the location. Sam and Mr Gordon had arranged themselves a night of football in the stadium.

Together, the three amigos helped themselves to the chicken, soup and salad. They carried the plates to the coffee and grabbed three stools from under the table. Gordo slipped in an action packed blockbuster into the player. At first, Miranda and Lizzie stared intently at the screen but got tired of the no-romance movie and started gossiped noisily.
