Gianna and Lizzie's City Trip

Our adventure has begun. I'm excited to be in Los Angeles. What I am even more excited is to have my best friend Lizzie with me on this adventure.

Lizzie is a bookworm. She doesn't like to go out and have fun, but not me. I love to go out on big adventures, now I dragged Lizzie with me to Los Angeles.

This is our last trip before we go to college and I want Lizzie to experience the city for herself. I want Lizzie to have fun. I want Lizzie to experience life outside of a book.

I planned this trip so we can explore a new place, but also to go to a few parties after all we are in Los Angeles.

Me and Lizzie left home early this morning by train and arrived in Los Angeles late in the afternoon.

All through the train ride Lizzie was reading her book. I don't think she is as excited as I am. I hope to god Lizzie has a good time.

Ever since I met Lizzie, she was a bookworm. I don't think it's bad to love books, but with Lizzie she never stops and smell the roses. She never looks up at the sky and see the sun shining.

Lizzie is the reason why I planned this trip. This is the last time me and Lizzie will have time to have fun and to be together.

I love Lizzie and I love the fact she loves to read, but for once in her life I want her to stop reading and to look out at the real world.

This trip is going to do that for Lizzie. I'm going to make her have fun even if I have to hide her books.

Lizzie

I love Gianna with all my heart. I love that she is a free-spirited woman. I also love my books. I love to read all day everyday. Nobody can take me away from my books, but there is one person who can do that and that is Gianna.

Gianna planned this trip to Los Angeles for just the two us and I promised her I will have a good time. I know Gianna is having her doubts. I'm going to prove her wrong.

I'm going to prove to Gianna that I can tear myself away from my books and have fun.

I already checked me and Lizzie into the hotel. We unpacked and put on comfortable clothes. I saw Lizzie unpack her books. She tried to hide them from me.

"I saw your books Lizzie."

"I love you to G."

We both laughed.

"What's on the agenda for today?"

"We are going sightseeing. Don't bring your books."

"You wound me G."

I smile.

Me and Lizzie leave the room and head down stairs and out of the hotel. We grab a taxi and head to Hollywood Blvd, where we hop on a sightseeing tour bus.

I already see a smile creeping up on Lizzie's face.

"What do you want to see first?"

"There are so many things to see."

"And do Lizzie."

"I'm scared to even ask what you mean by that."

"You will see."

"I can't wait."

The tour bus pulls out. Our first stop is to Warner Bros. studios. This is going to be amazing seeing where they make all the movies.

I see Lizzie's face lighting up. I'm glad she's starting to have fun. I know I'm having fun being with Lizzie.

"This is amazing G, seeing the city for the first time."

I know. I love it."

"I know why you did this G."

"Good. I don't have to trick you anymore."

Me and Lizzie laugh.

We arrive at Warner Bros. studios. This place is incredible. Lizzie takes out her camera. She takes pictures of the studio and me.

We begin the tour. We go to every place they film. It feels like we are one of the actors.

"This is amazing G. I love it."

"Me too."

We finish the tour. We go back to the bus.

Now we are going out on our own. We go back to where the tour bus picked us up.

We get off the bus.

Me and Lizzie are going sightseeing on our own. We are going to experience Los Angeles, just the two of us.

Tomorrow is another important day for us. I have so many things planned. Lizzie is going to love it.

So, we are back at the hotel. I cannot tell how much fun me and Lizzie had. We went everywhere in Los Angeles.

Me and Lizzie went to the beach for the first time. We jumped and splashed around in the water. We even learned how to surf. I can't believe Lizzie actually got on the surf board, of course I got on too.

After the beach we went to the aquarium, then we went to see the Hollywood sign. Lizzie took so many pictures. For the first time I saw lizzie having a good time instead of being in her books.

My plan for tomorrow is do what every girl loves to do and that is shopping, then we are going on another tour to see the homes of the movie stars and last I'm taking Lizzie on a private helicopter tour.

After all our touring is done, I have something special planned for Lizzie. She is going o love it.

Today is another big day for me and Lizzie. First we go and have breakfast.

"What is the plan for today?"

"Shopping, a tour to see celebrity homes, and a private helicopter tour."

"Cool. Let's go."

Me and Lizzie spent two hours shopping. We bought so many things for us, friends and family, now we are seeing celebrity homes. This is cool seeing all the incredible mansions.

The private helicopter tour is next. I know Lizzie is afraid of flying, but she won't admit it, that's what I love about her. She is so strong.

"Ready."

"Yea."

We get on the helicopter. I hold Lizzie's hand. She smiles at me. I smile back. A few minutes in Lizzie starts to relax. We both look out the window and see the most amazing view.

"You see this G."

"I see it."

The helicopter ride last half an hour. Me and Lizzie had so much fun. Our first helicopter ride.

"What know?"

"We go back to the hotel and change for the party."

"What party?"

"You will see. Let's go."

Me and Lizzie go back to the hotel. Lizzie is giving me the stink eye. She hates parties, but she is going to love this one.

Lizzie puts on the new dress she bought. I do the same. I do Lizzie's hair and she does mine.

"Where is this party?"

"You will see."

"Okay."

Me and Lizzie head to the club. I can't wait to see Lizzie's face when she sees what I planned for her.

"Don't worry. You will love it."

Me and Lizzie arrive at the Conga Room. I blindfold Lizzie and lead her inside.

The room is quiet. I take the blindfold off. Our family and friends yell surprise.

Lizzie turns to me with a shock expression. She gives me a hug.

"I can't believe you did this."

"I asked our family and friends to come to L.A. to celebrate you finally getting out our your shell and to celebrate us going to college."

"Thanks G. I love you."

"I love you too."

I'm so happy I got Lizzie to see a world beyond her books.
