Well, with this coronavirus chaos going on, I figure now is a good time to get back to my MML stories, starting with this one. Here is where the investigation begins in full force. ROLL IT!

The weekend came and went without much in the way of Murphy's law shenanigans. It was now Monday at Jefferson County Middle School. Milo and friends arrived super early in the hopes of intercepting Lydia before she could make it to her drama class. Zack was still lamenting over the now infamous 'Crystal carving'.

"Who could've done this?" Zack asked himself. "Who could've made this carving?"

"Not me!" Melissa reiterated.

"And so not me!" Amanda added. "I do have to ask...how does your sister have such advanced technology, Milo?"

"Oh...she was a Fireside Girl. Made Bonfire Brigadier and is now den mother of Troop 46231," Milo explained. This left Milo's inner circle shocked.

"I've known you since we were kids and you never told me that Sara was a Fireside Girl!" Melissa chided Milo.

"Sara swore me to secrecy, Melissa," Milo told his ginger friend. "Now, Sara gave me a list of potential girls who possibly did that carving. First up...Lydia Brooks."

Amanda flinched at hearing that name. "Lydia? You think Lydia has a thing for Zack?"

"Not sure. But there's a key piece of evidence we have to take into account - the lipstick tube. Sara caught it while she was cross-referencing the carving. Amanda, doesn't Lydia wear lipstick?"

"She does, but rarely."

"Well, let's split up, catch Lydia before she hits her drama class," Milo told his friends. The group split up and caught Lydia near the principal's office. They quickly pulled her into Ms. Murawski's classroom, where Milo began the questioning.

"What's this all about, guys?" Lydia asked. Milo then threw down a picture of the infamous carving.

"This. At 6:10 PM Thursday night, Melissa found this carving on a bench outside Principal Milder's office. We believe it was you that left that carving and hid your name so that Zack wouldn't find out that you're crushing on him!"

"Okay, I have no idea what you guys are talking about!"

"What about the tube of lipstick we found at the crime scene?" Melissa retorted. "That is yours, is it not?"

"Like, it's not, Melissa..." Lydia began. That ruled her out as a suspect. "...but, I do know whose it is."

"Spill, Lydia. Whose lipstick is this?" Amanda asked her dramatic actress friend.

"It belongs to my twin sister...Alyson. She's on the cheer squad. She was also a huge fan of the LumberZacks, but she never told anyone," Lydia explained.

"So...we're dealing with a lovestruck fan..." Amanda said in a serious tone.

"Afraid so, Amanda."

"Terrific..." Zack groaned. "Just when I thought I was done with the fan girls..."

"Cool it, Zack!" Milo called out. "Lydia, we'll need you to dig up any info you find. We have a potential girlfriend for Zack here!"

"I'm on it, Milo!"

The opening bell rang, bringing an end to the questioning and a start to the day at JCMS. Lydia quickly ran off to her drama class (which was also her homeroom), while the others settled into Ms. Murawski's class.

"Here's the plan, guys..." Melissa began. "Cheer practice is after school. Amanda and I can go in ourselves and talk to Alyson, grill her on her supposed crush on Zack."

"Just be careful, Melissa," Milo said in a worried tone. "Cheerleaders are a wild bunch..."

"Relax, Milo. We'll be fine!" Amanda reassured the jinx. The plan was now in place - Alyson Brooks, Lydia's twin sister, would be questioned after school. Hopefully then, the mystery of the 'Crystal carving' would be solved.

So...Lydia has a twin sister! Could she be the one behind the carving? Find out next time! Remember...IT'S MILO'S WORLD AND WE'RE ALL LIVING IN IT!
