And now, we're moving right along with this next chapter! Anyway, enjoy!

Inside the car, as Melissa was sulking in the back seat in anger, Milo turned to Sara as he said, "I think you'll like Tilapia. She's actually pretty enjoyable to talk to once you know her."

"I'm sure I do." Sara frowned a bit as she turned her eyes towards Milo, but kept them on the road at the same time, as she was driving the car to the ice cream shop. "Listen, Milo, I never usually question the friends you usually make, but... what makes you think this... 'Tilapia'... is a good person?"

"Are you kidding?" Milo said, raising an eyebrow. "She's a genuine nice person to just talk to. She tells me how much she enjoys the wildlife and loves protecting the animals... it's actually not a bad hobby."

Melissa frowned hearing this as she shut her eyes. She couldn't believe what she was hearing out of Milo. She was looking down and frowning, wondering why Milo would be falling for this Tiger cheerleader... and at the same time, she was wondering why she was thinking so much about Milo... sure, she thought about Milo most of the time, but not to this much extent. As a friend, she felt genuine concern... but she had felt a little anger towards this... girl. She didn't know why that was.

Before Melissa could ponder any further, she felt the car stopping as she looked out to see the ice cream shop. Milo looked out and smiled as he noticed a long haired blonde girl around Milo's age, with blue eyes, a ponytail, an orange T-shirt, a blue skirt and black shoes was sitting and waiting. "Ah, there she is now."

Milo immediately got out of the car as the girl looked up and smiled. "Milo! Like, thanks for coming over to see me!"

"Hey, you know I can't say no to a good invitation!" Milo smiled as he sat down next to the girl... Tilapia, Melissa assumed.

Tilapia looked over as she noticed the two girls coming out of the car, Sara and Melissa. Tilapia examined Sara first as she said, "Blonde, wears green mostly... you must be Milo's older sister, right? I've heard a lot about you in Milo's letters!"

"Really?" Sara paused.

"Yeah, I think you look good." Tilapia smiled as Sara blushed a bit. Tilapia turned and saw Melissa standing with a bit of a frown on her face. ""And you must be..."

"Melissa Chase... Milo's first friend." Melissa glared as she sat down next to Tilapia, giving a glare at her.

But Tilapia seemed to be oblivious to the glare as she turned to Milo. "I have to say, Milo, your girlfriend is, like, a good looker."

"Girlfriend?" Milo asked in confusion... then smiled, "Oh no, Tilapia, Melissa's just my friend. She's not really my girlfriend. Though I can see why people would think that. Anyway, should I pick up some ice cream for all of us?"

"I better go with you, Milo, just to be safe." Sara said as she got up at the same time as Milo.

"All right..." Milo nodded as he turned to Melissa. "Melissa, I believe you want a banana split, and Tilapia, you're more of a chocolate peanut butter shake girl."

Tilapia smiled as she gave a nod. Milo smiled as he and Sara went inside. "We'll be back in a moment."

As soon as Milo and Sara went inside, Tilapia gave a smile as he said, "Like, Milo is such a great guy, isn't he? I'm surprised you're not dating him."

Melissa bared her teeth as she said, "So... Tilapia... that's quite an odd name for a girl, isn't it?"

"Well, I have to admit, like, it is a pretty name, but a bit bizarre, like. To tell you the truth, my name is actually Ch-" Tilapia started.

"Look... Tilapia, right?" Melissa said as Tilapia stopped speaking for a moment. "I'm curious about your... intentions on Milo. Because I'm warning you about him... he is one of the most dangerous..."

"...people with that Extreme Hereditary Murphy's Law? I'm aware of it. He even confessed to sabotaging my team's game because of it... but he can't help himself, I mean, even if he was weaponized against us, Milo's actually a pretty sweet guy."

As Melissa and Tilapia were talking, a snapping sound was heard inside as people were running off. Melissa frowned as she said, "Aren't you at the least bit intimidated that you might get hurt due to one hint of Murphy's Law?"

"Maybe a little, but I'm sure things will get better eventually." Tilapia said. "After all, we're all people... and no sort of law could ever keep people separate, like, am I right, or am I right?"

Melissa gave a slight frown as she thought to herself, "You're up to something, I just know it."

At that moment, both Sara and Milo were seen surfing out of the ice cream shop, each of them holding some sundaes in hand as Milo and Sara recovered. Sara then called back, "Sorry about the damages, we'll replace it!"

Milo looked between the two girls as he handed Tilapia her chocolate peanut butter milkshake and Melissa her banana split. "Here you go, sorry to keep you girls waiting."

"So what was keeping you in there? And... like, what is with that wave of ice cream?" Tilapia asked.

"Oh, you know, same old business, we order our ice cream, one of the handles that's on the automatic ice cream machine breaks, the floors are covered in vanilla ice cream." Milo said as Sara sat down with a butter-pecan cone.

"Yeah, so, you know, normal Murphy's Law in effect." Sara said.

"Wow..." Tilapia said as he turned to Milo. "You poor guy. Like, that must be so tough."

"Not really." Melissa frowned. "Milo's used to this type of stuff."

Milo turned to Tilapia as he nodded. "It's true. But it keeps me up and going..."

"Like, you're so brave, Milo." Tilapia giggled as she leaned closer to Milo. "I always have a thing for very brave people..."

Milo gave a slight blush as Melissa's teeth were seething as she thought to herself, "You touch him, I will bash that dumb blonde brain in..."

Sara looked between the two oblivious kids in the world... and Melissa, who was looking on at the two kids frowning. Sara just licked her butter pecan both worried for her little brother and concerned for Melissa. All she knew was that... this was going to be trouble.
