Well, today's Halloween and I think I've got time for a MiloLissa short to fit the occasion. HERE IT IS!
It's Halloween in Swamp City, California (which apparently is a suburb of Danville). Just about everyone is in costume and there's sweet treats to be had for everyone - including Milo Murphy, Melissa Chase and new kid on the block, Zack Underwood. Milo and Melissa are keeping up their now 13 year long tradition of trick or treating. This year, they're going as Cat Noir and Ladybug from Melissa's favorite cartoon, 'Miraculous Ladybug'. Zack, on the other hand, was dressed as Jeff Probst from the CBS series 'Survivor'.
"Melissa's a Miraculer?" Zack shockingly asked.
"Yeah! How did you not know, Zack?"
"I should've known from the costume you're wearing, Milo. Speaking of which, where is your other half?"
"She should be here any moment now."
Then, the guys heard the sound of a piano...
'In the daytime, I'm Marinette - just a normal girl with a normal life. But there's something about me that no one knows yet, 'cause I have a secret!'
That's right! Melissa was entering the fray with the 'Miraculous Ladybug' theme song in the background! Her hair was done in Marinette's signature pigtails, her costume was a red jumpsuit with black ladybug spots, her mask and earrings had the same color scheme and of course, she had the ladybug yo-yo. Her entrance didn't go as planned, though...she tripped over Zack and fell right into Milo's arms.
"Look what the cat dragged in!" Milo said in his best Cat Noir impression.
"No cat dragged me anywhere, Cat Noir. I flew in here all on my own," Melissa retorted, getting back to her feet and twirling her yo-yo.
Zack had about enough of the flirting, mouthing 'The Tribe Has Spoken' before regaining his composure.
"Get a room, you two! We better get rolling if we wanna knock this out and get to Amanda's Halloween party!"
Milo and Melissa just smiled each other as they walked out with Zack, implying to one another that Zack may or may not have a crush on Amanda, Milo's former flame.
They all decided to stay as a group, hitting every house in their neighborhood and in the next neighborhood over to maximize their haul. Though it was in the 60s, the cold didn't stop the trio from getting the most out of their Halloween, despite Melissa's yo-yo snapping, Milo breaking a claw, a broken torch-snuffer on Zack's end, Melissa losing an earring...you get the picture. Milo replaced them all anyway. Once they thought they collected enough treats, Milo, Melissa and Zack headed off to Amanda's Halloween party.
Meanwhile...
Amanda's Halloween party had become the center of attention. Everyone in the 7th grade was there...especially Bradley Nicholson, the nerd with an insane crush on Melissa, oblivious to the fact that Melissa was spoken for. This year, he was dressed as New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning. (Note: This is a reference to Bradley's voice actor, Vincent Martella. His favorite NFL team is the New York Giants) Amanda had just gotten a text from Melissa informing her that she, Milo and Zack are on their way.
"Mort, you're our lookout. Tell me when Milo and his friends get here," she told Mort. "Bradley, don't you dare cause trouble for any of them! This is Milo and Melissa's first Halloween as a couple!" Amanda scolded the teen genius.
"Geez, Amanda! No need to get your panties in a bunch!" Bradley scoffed. "That Milo Murphy's got it all...he gets all the attention, he's got the love of my life...how do I always lose to him?"
You'll never figure it out, Bradley. Prepare to be Akumatized!
Just then, Milo, Melissa and Zack entered, greeted by Amanda.
"Milo! Melissa! Zack! Glad you 3 could make it!" Amanda said. "Let's see...we have Jeff Probst with Cat Noir and Miraculous Ladybug. Continuing your tradition, eh, Milo?"
"13 years straight..." Milo began.
"13 Halloweens, 13 costume pairs for me and Milo," Melissa added as she whipped out her yo-yo, grabbed Milo's hand and swung their way to where the snacks were, leaving Zack to follow them.
After seeing Melissa in her Ladybug costume, Amanda was left to wonder if she and Melissa had the same idea. Her suspicions were confirmed when she met up with Milo and his crew.
"You're a Miraculer?" Amanda and Melissa said in unison.
"Two Ladybugs?" Milo asked, shocked.
Silence...
"This is awkward," the girls said in unison, Melissa making a note to herself not to wear the same costume as Amanda next year. Little did she know, Amanda made the same note.
The games began soon after and one game that Melissa and Milo were waiting to play...7 Minutes. And guess who were the ones to be picked? That's right...Milo and Melissa! Blame Murphy's law, blame whatever you like, bottom line is that they were the ones to be locked in a closet and were allowed to do whatever they liked for 7 minutes. Of course, they've only been dating just over a month now and they were too young to go all the way.
"Who would've ever thought that we'd be picked, huh, Melissa?"
"Not me, Milo," Melissa said as she took off her costume. Luckily, she still had her signature look on underneath, but would quickly shed her white long-sleeve shirt and black top, revealing her lacy black bra and scaring Milo.
"Aren't we a little young for that?"
"If you're talking about going all the way, then yes, yes we are. But we can still go Tier 7 - snuggling and making out...but no shirts." Melissa explained.
Milo smiled as Melissa took off his sweater vest and yellow shirt (he was already out of his Cat Noir costume). "Melissa, you are the most paw-some girl I know!" he said, kissing her.
"Milo, you can cut the cat puns. You're not in your Cat Noir costume," Melissa said as she pulled Milo close.
Immediately, they started making out; their bodies pressed up against one another, snuggling in a warm embrace. Though they were in 7th grade, this felt like heaven to them.
"Milo, you've got me spinning 'round..." Melissa started, still kissing Milo. "...my feet are off the ground...and when the sun goes down..."
"...you become Miraculous, Melissa," Milo added. "Simply the best...up to the test when things go wrong. You're the luckiest, the power of love always so strong..."
The pair kept snuggling and making out for the next 5 minutes straight. Then, as they heard the doorknob move, they quickly got dressed, costumes included and were broken out by Zack, who caught them with their hair all messed up.
"Milo, Melissa...what happened?"
The couple said nothing. They just motioned to Amanda.
"Amanda, you have some explaining to do!"
Just got it in on time! Happy Halloween, everyone! As always, if you have any ideas, feel free to send 'em over to me! And remember...
IT'S MILO'S WORLD AND WE'RE ALL LIVING IN IT!
