Time we get back on the 'Milo Murphy's Law' train! And with an idea recently cooked up, I'm personally excited to think this up when I did! Anyway, enjoy!


It was just another exciting day for Milo and his friends... well, in terms of Murphy's Law standards. The three friends had just reached Milo's house as Melissa was removing a branch from her hair and shook it around.

"Man, what a day." Melissa smiled. "Who knew a shortcut back to your place would only take eleven minutes to get here?"

"That is, if you don't include the pile-up car crash when we tried to cross the street when the lights changed quickly on us... and the pogo-stick teeter-totter competition in the park that sent all three of us into some trees..." Zack counted from his fingers.

"Knocking over a pistachio stand by mistake... I swear I keep seeing these guys around lately..." Milo said, scratching his head.

"...and there was the loose screw on the street light we went past... make that at least multiple loose screws on MOST of the streetlights." Zack pointed out.

"And the fact we somehow ended up on a model cruise ship... that was sent away at sea..." Melissa counted.

"Yeah... but all that aside, it's just nice to get back home." Milo laughed as he knocked on the door... only for the door to fall off the hinges backwards. "Whoops... looks like we're going to have to fix that door again."

"Well... at least we made it to the weekend." Melissa sighed in relief as she, Zack and Milo went inside. "So, Zack, got any plans for the weekend?"

"Yes, actually." Zack smiled as he sat down on the couch... before a spring popped up and sent him straight up to the ceiling, bumping his head before he fell back down. Zack looked over at Milo, who chuckled in concern.

"Looks like we'll need to fix that couch..." Milo said in embarrassment.

Zack looked up at his worried friend, before laughing. "Ah, don't worry about it, it's Murphy's Law. And as it always states, anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Anyway, my parents plan to take me out to a baseball game this Saturday."

"Ah, baseball." Milo smiled. "You know, I remember the first time I went to a baseball game..."

"Let me guess, Murphy's Law kicked in at most of the wrong moments." Zack raised an eyebrow.

"You read me like a book." Milo said as he looked around. "Hmmm, I wonder where everyone is. Usually, Sara's home before me."

"Maybe she left a note..." Melissa said as she looked around the kitchen and smiled. "Oh, here's the note. "Milo, I went with Mom to take Diogee to the vet. Nothing serious, just needs to get his shots. As usual, if you're going to past by my room, try not to enter inside. You know how neat I want my room. We'll be back around five. Love, Sara."."

"Well, that does explain why we haven't seen Diogee most of the day. Usually, he's just around in random spots when we're on our way home." Milo sighed in relief as he leaned towards a corner railing... before it somehow broke off, causing Milo to back off. "But enough about Diogee. Let me tell you my baseball story."

Zack nodded as he gave a smile, looking up at Milo as Melissa gave a nod as she said, "Trust me, I was there with him on that day, it was a hoot."

"I can believe that." Zack smiled as he looked up at Milo.

"Well, see, it all began like any other day. My family and I just picked up Melissa from her house and we were on our way to the park... but when we turned a corner, the bumper from our car fell straight off. A simple fix at that, but before we could move, the windshield on our car just spontaneously broke and turned into dust." Milo smiled.

Zack nodded as he looked down from Milo... before blinking in shock, noticing something beneath Milo's feet, etched on the wall. The story that Milo was telling just got tuned out as he was focusing on the object that caught his attention. His eyes were focused on it, but he seemed to lean down towards it.

"...and get this. When we finally got to the baseball game, not only did the tickets get blown away, but they somehow went into-" Milo was looking over at Zack as he noticed that Zack seemed unfocused. "Uh, Zack, Zack? Zack!"

Melissa looked over and frowned towards her friend as she slapped him in the back, causing Zack to shake his head. "Huh, wha?"

"Zack, were you listening to the story at all?" Melissa frowned.

"S-sorry guys. I kinda got distracted by the small etching on the wall." Zack said in embarrassment. Milo and Melissa blinked in confusion as Zack noticed. "Near where Milo broke off that small piece of wood per Murphy's Law, I noticed a small etching near the end of the wall. Lean down."

Zack got off the couch and crawled down towards the floor as he was examining the etching near the wall. Milo and Melissa gathered around as well as they looked examined the etching on the wall. Milo stated, "I don't remember ever seeing that."

"It looks like a heart... being pierced by an arrow... and it looks like there's writing on there..." Melissa squinted. "It's a bit hard to make out."

Zack got a little closer and squinted. "I think I can make it out, but... it looks like a weird word... M-M-..." Zack's eyes widened. "MiLissa?"

"What the heck is My Lissa?" Melissa raised an eyebrow.

"No, it's MiLissa, one word... with the M and L capitalized." Zack pointed out.

"But why would they want to capitalize both letters and put it on a heart?" Milo asked as Zack looked between Milo and Melissa in shock. Milo noticed, much to his confusion. "Uh, why are you looking at us in bewilderment like that?"

Zack looked shocked, then started to laugh a bit. "Oh my gosh, Milo... why didn't you tell me?"

"Tell you what?" Milo asked as Melissa frowned.

"That you have a crush on Melissa!" Zack smiled.

Milo and Melissa's eyes widened in shock as they yelled, "WHAT? Wait... what?"

Melissa blinked twice... before saying, "How did you get 'Milo has a crush on me' from 'My Lissa'?"

"Well... usually, when someone likes somebody, they would usually combine both first names to indicate that that somebody is in love with that other somebody... and 'MiLissa' means 'Milo and Melissa'!" Zack explained as Melissa's mouth dropped in shock.

Melissa's eyes then turned towards Milo as he was looking around in concern... before laughing. "Y-you're joking, right?"

"Come on, Milo, you don't have to hide it." Zack smirked as he sat down and crossed his legs. "I guess I should have seen it coming."

"M-Milo, do you- did you really-" Melissa stammered, still in total confusion.

"I-I-I wouldn't-" Milo started to stammer as well as he looked back at the etching. "W-wait a minute, you don't think 'I' etched this on the wall?"

"Well, it IS your house. And unless Melissa's the one who did it, then the only culprit is you." Zack explained.

Milo looked at the etching, still in shock. Despite evidence sitting there, he didn't remember anything about this etching at all. All the while, Melissa is just sitting there, still in shock and confusion.

It was one mystery they needed to know, that was for sure!
