Time for another drabble featuring Milo Murphy and the life of the townsfolk! Anyway, enjoy!
"Thanks for coming over, you guys." Milo smiled as Melissa and Zack came in with backpacks in hand.
"Hey, anything to get away from the hustle and bustle of our regular homes..." Melissa smiled.
"Well, that and Melissa's house is going through renovations, so we obviously couldn't go there." Zack explained.
"Well, since you guys are here, let's sit around and get some homework done, shall we?" Milo smiled as he pulled out his math book. "These math problems are fun, but can be pretty tough."
As the three friends started to go over, they heard a scream from nearby. Milo looked over to see Milo's older sister, Sara a bit freaked out. "Sara, what's wrong?"
"Bug, bug!" Sara said, pointing down towards the floor as Milo, Zack and Melissa came towards the living room. The three friends looked over to see a tiny ant crawling around.
"Ah... a black formicidae." Milo said as he put his hand out and let the bug crawl on his finger. "There, it's off the floor, and now I'm going to gently get it towards the window."
As Milo turned around, Zack, Melissa and Sara noticed Milo's dog, Diogee running out the open door pretty quickly. Sara, gulping, nodded. "I happen to agree with Diogee, we better head outside."
"Why?" Zack asked as he followed Melissa and Sara out.
"You seriously can't be asking that question." Melissa said in a deadpan voice as the three went out.
"There you go, little guy, now, off my finger and into the outside world. Maybe you can find your anthill." Milo said as he opened the window and stuck his finger out near the edge of the window. With that, the ant crawled off Milo's finger and was now crawling on the wall of the house, intending to head straight for the grass.
"There we go. Now to gently close the window, and..." Milo said as he slowly started to put the window down.
Unfortunately for Milo, as soon as he had the window near the ground, he felt it warp. "Hey... this window is stuck... I think this needs a little bit of... force here and..."
Milo then pushed the window down hard as the glass of the window broke, Milo looking over. "Uh... whoops..."
With that, the window broke off from the wall, falling into the grass... followed by the entire wall, causing Milo to yelp as he noticed the whole house was shaking. He stepped out of the way in time as the entire house collapsed.
"Oh no!" Milo said in concern... but then he noticed the black ant crawling alongside the grass. "Oh, close one. It didn't squash you!"
Sara, Melissa and Zack just watched as Zack sighed. "Of course... Murphy's Law."
"Fortunately, we have a quick fixer on speed dial." Sara sighed as she pulled out her phone and dialed the number. "Hello, Mom? Yeah, the house fell apart again, do you think you and Dad can order a house repair? Thanks."
Melissa and Zack came over to Milo as he watched the bug scurry on his way as Melissa bent down and put her arm around Milo's shoulder. "You okay, Milo?"
"Hey, as long as the bug's okay, I'm okay." Milo smiled towards Melissa.
Melissa gave a warm smile towards her friend. "This is why I like you, Milo. Always friendly and helpful, no matter the outcome."
It was then Milo noticed the house in shambles. "Oh gee, looks like the house fell apart again. Either we're not getting good structures on this place or nobody nailed this place down enough. At least we have our fixers on speed dial."
"If it's all the same, maybe we can do our homework out here." Zack smiled as he sat down. "It is a beautiful day out, after all."
Milo and Melissa looked up and saw the sun shining. Milo smiled as he sat down. "Yeah, I think that'll work just fine."
"If it means getting our homework done faster, I'm sure everything will be fine." Melissa said as she moved a little closer to Milo, but not too close.
Sara smiled as she looked over Milo's group of friends and smiled as she chuckled a bit.
