Melissa's dad had a change of heart last chapter and the Milo/Melissa friendship was saved! Now comes their first Halloween and Christmas together! HERE WE GO!
It's been nearly 2 months since Melissa lashed out at her dad and preserved her friendship with Milo. Now it's October 31st of 2009 and that can only mean one thing - tricks, treats and people dressing in costumes! It's HALLOWEEN! More specifically, it's Milo and Melissa's first Halloween together! We pick things up at Melissa's house where we see her sporting a green and black jumpsuit and her wavy hair now colored a deep jet black. She was dressed as Shego from 'Kim Possible'. Next to her was her best friend Milo Murphy, who was seen in a blue double-breasted coat and trousers with black gloves and boots. He was also wearing a wide belt and black collar and his hair was also now colored black, but with a ponytail. He was dressed as Dr. Drakken.
"You ready, Shego?" Milo asked his best friend.
"Let's take Danville by storm, Dr. D!" Melissa cheerfully answered. However, she'd get into her Shego character after this as the duo set out.
"Any sign of Kim Possible?"
Melissa scoffed. "It's not my job to keep track of Kimmie! Leave it to the underpaid henchmen and send out your Syntho-Drones when they see her! Like they even work anyway..." she snarked, walking off and filing her nails.
"SHEGO!" Milo called out, following Melissa as they hit every single house in Danville. Their treat bags now full, they poured their combined contents into a wagon and headed for Melissa's house...but not before being round-housed to the ground by young Amanda Lopez, who was dressed as teen hero Kim Possible.
"KIM POSSIBLE! YOU THINK YOU'RE ALL THAT, BUT YOU'RE NOT!" Milo exclaimed as Amanda flipped out of sight.
Once at Melissa's house, the duo got into their normal attire and settled into Melissa's room to watch a marathon of Halloween specials including 'It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown' and the 'Kim Possible' Halloween episode...all while eating their Halloween haul! Unfortunately, their attempt to go through it in one sitting backfired on them as they ended up sick that whole weekend.
"This is totally going in our scrapbook!" Melissa told Milo as she showed him the pictures her parents took of them and put them in a book titled 'Milolissa Forever'.
"This is only the beginning, Melissa..." Milo said to Melissa as they snuggled up to each other. If they only knew what would happen 2 months later.
We skip ahead to Christmas Eve - the Murphys and the Chases coming together for the first time since Milo and Melissa became best friends. Ever since Milo and Melissa became best friends, Murphy's law has pretty much backed off when the duo is together.
"Man, I can't believe Jimmie Johnson won the NASCAR title again this year!" Melissa said to Milo. "I really wanted Kurt Busch to take it this year!"
"I was hoping for Gordon to take #5 and my dad was pulling for Mark Martin. Guess that's Murphy's law for you," Milo remarked.
"You know what I look back on when I think about what happened to Jeff Gordon in the Chase this year? It's that Talladega race. He had a good car, just got tangled up in someone else's mayhem, didn't have enough races to recover. Mark Martin, on the other hand - Charlotte and Talladega both did him in. Now for my guy, Kurt Busch, again I go back to the wreck at Talladega on that green-white-checker restart. He had a good car that race, just got tangled up in someone else's mayhem." Melissa dissected to Milo as they turned on ABC Family for a Christmas Classics marathon. Everything from 'Home Alone' to 'Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town' to 'The Polar Express' was on. For the Christmas dinner, Milo and Melissa were positioned at the kids' table. Actually...they were the only ones at the kids' table (which was probably set up by Melissa's parents as a way to get a spark of romance going between the two).
As the duo enjoyed their Christmas Eve dinner, Melissa noticed something suspicious about their setup.
"Seriously? Dimmed lights, candles between us?"
"It's almost as if your parents are trying to pair us together as boyfriend and girlfriend, Melissa," Milo remarked, to which they both responded...
"THAT IS SICK AND WRONG!"
What they didn't see coming was what happened after Christmas Eve dinner...Mrs. Chase had hooked a mistletoe on a fishing rod and directed it right at Milo and Melissa!
"Seriously, mom?!" Melissa called out.
"You know the rules, honey! You gotta kiss Milo!" Melissa's mom said with a giggle.
Milo was flustered. He didn't know what to do as this was all happening too fast. All of a sudden, Melissa pulled him close and kissed him on the lips. Milo felt a tingling sensation as Melissa's lips merged with his own. He was apprehensive at first, but as the taste of Melissa's cinnamon lip gloss (that she swiped from her mom) and peppermint candy canes overtook him, Milo's resistance wavered. He soon returned the kiss and took off Melissa's hairband, letting her hair flow to its natural length. Just as quickly as they started kissing, they broke for air. Milo, clearly dazed from the kiss, was frozen.
"Merry Christmas, Milo..." Melissa whispered as Milo fell to the floor. "Oooh...perhaps I overdid it on the kiss," she said as she picked Milo up and put him on her back. "I'll take him up to my room."
Needless to say...it was one Christmas neither of them would soon forget.
How about that? 2 holidays in one chapter! Next up - Milo and Melissa's first New Year's together...as well as their first New Year's kiss! See ya then and remember...
IT'S MILO'S WORLD AND WE'RE ALL LIVING IN IT!
