Melissa Chase/History

Early life[]

Melissa has been Milo's best friend for a very long time and she cherishes their time together. As the only person brave enough to choose to face Murphy's Law on a daily basis, she remained one of Milo's only friends until they met Zack.

In “First Impressions,” it is revealed that she met Milo in front of the bus on their first day of first grade, when they were both six years old. At first, Melissa was nervous around Milo and declines sitting next to him on the bus, but after her curiosity gets the better of her she begins to talk to him. By the end of the episode, she declares them best friends. She has kept photographs of Milo from when he was little (“Missing Milo”).

Over the years, Melissa dedicated a lot of her time to collecting vast amounts of stuff from Milo in an attempt to cure Murphy's Law. Eventually, she realized he wouldn't want that, but she kept collecting information anyway, for reasons she herself is unsure of (“Missing Milo”).

Her two front teeth are fake- at one point in her life, she'd lost her real front teeth after catching a pop-fly to the face (“Secrets and Pies”).

ML35 — Melissa builds a ”cool” science project, right before she develops her fear of roller coasters.

On the first day of summer before the current events of Season 1, Melissa had been setting up a science project for a summer science fair when a helicopter dropped a roller coaster into her backyard, crushing the project. This caused her to develop a crippling fear of roller coasters that she tried to keep hidden from her friends until they helped her get over it at Lard World (“Murphy's Lard”).

Melissa has gone on many adventures with her best friend, such as putting away robots in a shark cage and going to a lumber yard to apologize (“Missing Milo”). One of her and Milo's most famous adventures was “The Llama Incident”. A trip to a llama production of Hamlet went horribly wrong, leading to Melissa and Milo chasing after Milo's back pack from one crazy location to the next. The two manage to go through it and go on to look back at the adventure positively. They continue to treasure and laugh about it to this day (“The Llama Incident”).
