A/N: I'm finally back from my vacation, where I did manage to come up with
a whole new story! I'll be putting it on the computer soon, hopefully. The
bad news is that my computer got hit with that stupid Blaster Worm, so all
the updates I had for you guys got lost. None were too long, but it was
still a bummer. So, I've been trying to get those back on track, while
attempting to finish my summer work for my classes. Its been busy. Anyway,
look for some updates. Review and enjoy!

A Summer of Changes
Chapter 18: A Midnight Rendez-Vous (At 2:00)
The pair entered the family room and dropped their hands. They continued to the den where there parents were still sitting.
"Hi kids." Roberta chirped, happily.
"What have you guys been up to?" Sam asked, taking a sip of his drink.
"We've um, we.." Lizzie started.
"We've been hanging out in the family room." Gordo finished. "I was helping Lizzie program her phone."
"This whole time?" Jo asked, looking at her watch. "I didn't hear you once! I knew I shouldn't have had that last martini."
The adults laughed, and Lizzie giggled nervously.
"Well, I'm gonna head on up to bed." She declared. "Night."
"Goodnight!" called Roberta, Howard and Sam.
"Happy Birthday sweetie!" Jo added.
Lizzie retreated to her bedroom, and heard Gordo do the same. She had just started to nod off when she heard a knock on the door. She got up and opened it, but no one was there. Instead she found a small piece of paper. She picked it up and brought it back into her room, where she unfolded it and read to herself.
"Lizzie." It said on the front. The inside was covered with Gordo's barely- legible scrawl. "I know you said we'd talk tomorrow, but I need to see you. Meet m in the kitchen at 2:00. See you then, Gordo."
Lizzie smiled. He needed to see her. She glanced at the clock next to her bed. Perfect. She'd set her watch alarm for 2:00 and sleep until then. She laid back down and heard the adults come upstairs. She listened for the shutting of the two doors, and fell asleep.
The next thing she knew, her watch was beeping. She quickly got up, threw on her robe and slippers and quietly crept downstairs. She reached the kitchen, which was dimly lit. Gordo was already there and he had put out Lizzie's favorite midnight snack: milk and cookies.
"Hey." She greeted, sleepily.
"I knew you'd come." Gordo smiled, his adorable half smile. He looked as though he hadn't slept.
"Well, I never turn down a midnight snack." She replied, sitting down at the counter.
Gordo smiled again and they both started in on the cookies.
"Ok." He started. "I know this is sudden and it's totally unlike me, but I need to tell you something."
"Let me guess." Lizzie joked around, knowing his inability to ever say how he was feeling. "I give great advice."
"No." Gordo replied, not getting the joke at first. "Well, you do. But that wasn't funny. I'm being serious."
"Ok." Lizzie conceded. "Shoot."
"Well, I suppose it's not so much a statement as a question." Gordo hesitated.
"Gordo, go ahead." Lizzie encouraged. "I'm all ears."
"It's just that, in the past, on two separate occasions, I might add, we've kissed and not discussed it afterwards, and I think we need to talk about where we stand." Gordo continued.
Lizzie nodded.
"Because I don't want to think one thing and then have it turn out that you were thinking something else and.."
"Gordo?" Lizzie interrupted.
"Yeah?"
"You're rambling. Just get to the point." She instructed.
Gordo laughed nervously. "What I'm saying is, I'm ready to.I think we should.." He ran a hand through his messy hair. "Lizzie?" he asked, looking at her with his puppy dog eyes.
"Yes Gordo?" Lizzie mused, with a pretty good idea of what was coming.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" he asked, tentatively.
A huge smile cracked across Lizzie's face. He was so cute! "Only if you'll be my boyfriend." She replied, smirking.
Gordo's face lit up and then broke into a mischievous grin. "Ok." He replied. "Deal."
They shook hands and Lizzie laughed.
"So." Gordo remarked.
"So." Lizzie mimicked.
"What do we do now?" he asked.
"I dunno." Lizzie replied. "Do we tell people?"
"I dunno." Gordo remarked. "Maybe Miranda."
"I bet she already knows." Lizzie commented.
"Probably." Gordoo nodded. "Do we tell our parents."
"Not yet." Lizzie decided. "If we do, they'll be all weird about us hanging out together for the rest of the trip. I say we keep us a secret. Not because I don't want people to know, but because I think it'll be fun for a while."
"Yeah." Gordo agreed. "We can go on secret dates, and have secret kisses."
Lizzie laughed. "Sounds good. But right now, I need some secret sleep."
"Ok." Gordo replied. Lizzie headed out, but turned around.
"Hey Gordo?"
"What?"
"This is definitely the best birthday ever." Lizzie replied. "Thank you." She turned to him and gave him a "secret kiss" right on the lips. Gordo deepened it, and then they pulled away.
"Goodnight, girlfriend." He whispered in her ear.
"See you in the morning, boyfriend." She replied, continuing upstairs.
TBC!
