I got another MiloLissa short for ya! In response to the Cubs making their first World Series since World War II ended, this one's gonna be set on the night of Game 6 of this year's National League Championship Series...and yes, Milo's a Cubs fan, but will be rooting for the Dodgers just to screw them up! ROLL TAPE!


It's a cool Saturday night in Swamp City, California. Everyone was decked out in LA Dodgers gear and they had converged on Jefferson County Middle School for a massive outdoor viewing party for Game 6 of the National League Championship Series...including 3 teens who have had more than their fair share of adventures - Milo Murphy, his girlfriend Melissa Chase and their friend Zack Underwood. Melissa and Zack were in Cubs gear. Milo on the other hand, was dressed in Dodger blue.

"Hey, Milo...why the Dodger blue?" asked his girlfriend.

"Remember Zack's first football game, Melissa?" Milo fired back. Melissa and Zack remembered that night all too well. It was Milo's first football game in years and everything went wrong around him and Melissa. The Geckos were down 42-0, but came storming back once Milo started rooting for the enemy. Zack ended up winning the game with a running drop kick field goal. "Well, I figure that if I wear the enemy's colors, the Cubs could win this game tonight," Milo explained.

"That's some paradoxical scheme you got there, Milo," Zack said. That's when Bradley Nicholson, Milo's archenemy who still harbored a crush on Melissa, came in.

"So...trying to jinx the Dodgers, I see, Murphy," Bradley quipped. "If that's the case, I challenge you to a little wager..."

"BRING. IT. BRADLEY!"

"If your precious Chicago Cubs win, which they won't, I'll stop chasing Melissa around and never call you a jinx again. But if the Dodgers win, your little girlfriend has to go on a date with me!"

"IT'S ON, NICHOLSON!"

Zack and Melissa gasped. "Milo, are you out of your mind?" Zack freaked.

"No. Why do you think I'm wearing Dodger colors tonight? It's because I'm confident the Cubs will win tonight, but I've decided to take extra precautions. That's the thing about Murphy's law...it's unpredictable!"

Zack just turned to Melissa..."I swear you taught him how to gamble, Melissa."

Melissa just smiled as she, Zack and Milo took their seats, Melissa holding a 'We Ain't Afraid Of No Goats' sign, with a cartoon goat done in the style of the 'Ghostbusters' logo.

The Dodgers got things started with a lead-off single off the bat of Andrew Toles...but he was quickly eliminated thanks to a double play ball hit by consensus Rookie of the Year Corey Seager. Justin Turner would subsequently fly out on a 3-2 pitch to end the inning. In the Cubs' half of the first inning, Dexter Fowler led off with a fan interference double and was later driven in by a Kris Bryant base hit. Anthony Rizzo was next and he'd hit one that would fall into the glove of Toles...OR NOT! It bounced out at the last moment! Murphy's Law strikes in Chicago! Runners at 2nd and 3rd with no outs! Ben Zobrist would drive Rizzo in to make it 2-0 in favor of the Cubs, much to Bradley's dismay.

"This can't be happening! Kershaw's never given up 2 runs in the first inning!" Bradley complained. "Murphy...I SHOULD'VE KNOWN HE'D WEAR DODGER COLORS JUST TO JINX THEM!"

The Cubs tacked on 2 more hits and another run against Kershaw in the 2nd to make it 3-0...while the Cubs starter was wheeling and dealing, having only faced the minimum through 7. By then, it was 5-0 after Wilson Contreras and Anthony Rizzo hit solo home runs, all but ensuring that Bradley Nicholson and his favorite team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, would become just another victim of the Chicago Cubs and of Murphy's law.

"NO! NO! NO! NO! I-I'M GONNA LOSE!" Bradley beamed. "I never should've made that wager with Milo."

25 minutes later, Yasiel Puig would end the Dodgers' season.

'Grounded to Russell! Throw to Baez for one! Throw over to Rizzo...DOUBLE PLAY! THE CUBS ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!'

THIS ONE'S OVER! CUBS ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1945! After the final outs were called, Amanda Lopez, another of Milo's classmates, put on the iconic Cubs victory song - 'Go Cubs Go' - and as it played, Milo jumped into Melissa's arms and kissed her.

"I taught you well, young Padawan," Melissa said to her boyfriend. She and Milo were about to kiss again, only to be interrupted by Bradley. And yes, that was also Murphy's law.

"Pardon me for interrupting, Milo. But you were right...I was wrong to bet against you and your team. I'm sorry for how I've treated you and your friends. I'm just fearful of all that stuff happening to me," he explained.

"I get that all the time, Bradley. You're no different," Milo told his now former rival.

"Thank you, Milo Danger Murphy. Now, if you'll excuse me..." Bradley began, turning his attention to Amanda, "...I've got another fish to go after."

Once Bradley left the scene, Milo and Melissa kissed again. Unfortunately, they got stuck for a bit and when they finally got unstuck, Melissa's Cubs shirt got torn off, accidentally revealing her lacy Cubs blue bra. Milo was prepared, though and produced another shirt, same player - #22, Jason Heyward - same everything as the one that was torn off. He even looked away while Melissa put it on. Milo and Melissa then swapped jackets - Melissa getting Milo's Cubs jacket and Milo getting Melissa's signature white vest and blue jean jacket.

"Now everyone knows you two are dating, you guys!" Zack pointed out.

"And we wouldn't have it any other way, Zack," Melissa said, kissing Milo again.

"One more, Mel? To celebrate breaking the curse?"

"Oh, alright, Milo! One more! The Cubs' curse is broken!"

This kiss lasted longer than the ones they shared before. It lasted through the rest of 'Go Cubs Go' and right into the trophy presentation.

Milo, having had enough celebration for the night, thinks up a plan to chill out.

"Guys, if we hurry, we can catch the 9:30 showing of 'Sulley'!"

Melissa and Zack smiled. "We'll have plenty of time to celebrate once the Cubbies have that World Series trophy in hand!"

"4 wins to go, guys..."

As they set off for the movie theater, Milo produced a big white flag with a blue 'W' on it and draped it over himself, Melissa and Zack.

"FLY THE W, EVERYONE! CUBS WIN!"


Actually Zack, as of tonight, it's 3 wins to go. Even though I'm a Mets fan, I gotta stay true to the National League and pull for the Cubs in this year's World Series. GO CUBS GO!

So, was that enough Murphy's Law for you?

Also, if you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them!

As always, IT'S MILO'S WORLD AND WE'RE ALL LIVING IN IT!
