So...this just came into my mind! If you've ever seen that show 'How I Met Your Mother', then you'll know the inspiration for this Milolissa story. Milo and Melissa...let's say they're 27 here, Cory and Topanga (my fan kids for Milo and Melissa) are about 6 years old. So this would make this story an AU from 'Aftermath'. ROLL IT!


It was a crisp, early September night in Danville. Milo Murphy and his wife, Melissa Chase-Murphy were just about to tuck in their kids - Cory Benjamin Murphy and Topanga Danielle Murphy - after their first day of 1st grade. Cory had made a new best friend - Bradley and Lydia's daughter, Alyson Taylor Nicholson. As for Topanga, her new friend was Candace and Jeremy's youngest son - Xavier Noah Johnson.

Much like any 6 year old kid will do, Cory and Topanga put up a bit of a fuss when it came to bedtime.


"Aw, come on, dad! Can't I stay up and watch 'Boy Meets World' with you?" Cory asked of his father.

"Cory, I know you're named after the main character on that show, but it's a little late for you to be staying up," Milo explained.

"Plus, it's a school night for both you and Topanga, Cor'," Melissa told the youngest Murphy.

"Aw! No fair!" Topanga said dejectedly, snapping her fingers.

"Sometimes life's like that, 'Pangs," Melissa told her daughter, picking her up into her arms. "Take it from Bill Gates, the man who founded Microsoft. His #1 rule was 'Life's not fair.' He took that rule to heart and became one of the most powerful and richest people on the face of the Earth."

This left Cory and Topanga awestruck.

"Cool!" The brother and sister duo said in unison.


"I suppose it is rather cool, but Bill Gates also needed a good education to get to where he is today and I highly doubt you'll both get that unless you get to bed on time, 'kay?" Milo reminded the duo, to which they responded with a nod and raced upstairs, soon followed by their parents.

Once Cory and Topanga were in their 'Cars' and 'Frozen'-themed pajamas, respectively, Milo and Melissa tucked them in. This is when Cory would ask the question that would change his and Topanga's lives forever.


"Hey, daddy..."

"Yes, Cory?"

"How did you and mom meet?"

Upon hearing this, Milo pulled Melissa close. He knew this day would come, but didn't think it would come this soon.


"It finally happened, Melissa...Cory finally asked to hear how you and I met."

"The full story?"

"Sounds like it, 'Liss."

Melissa smiled. "It's time, Milo. Cory and Topanga deserve to know how you and I met," she said before sitting down on Cory and Topanga's bunk bed.


"I had a feeling this day would come..." Milo said to himself. "Cory, get your sister down from top bunk..." the jinxed man started.

"...and get ready for a story full of wonder, amazement, enchantment and a lot of Murphy's law shenanigans!" Melissa finished.

"COOL!" Cory and Topanga cheered.

"Your dad and I can promise you this - it'll be one bedtime story you won't soon forget..."


Alright, you guys! Get ready for the ride of your lives! The story of how Milo and Melissa met will begin...NEXT TIME! Remember...

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