Laura and Cess are fighting over Kade right now.

Well, maybe if Katie Kane ever returns to the present she and Ace can pair up?

Vampire Hunter D, in my opinion, K.K.'s too bratty and Ace is too nice for that relationship to work.

Frankly, I'm surprised anyone even supports that pairing. She was just using him and stringing him along. Ace deserves better than that
Because there was a nice feeling of mutual discovering in their date. Melissa discovered she was able to enjoy simple things and pleasures, while Ace appeared as a pleasant boyfriend.
He always has, he didn't need Mel for that. :-??

Actually, I'd say Tiffany's done more in that regard 'cuz it seems, in all the time she's spent around her, that some of her good nature has started to rub off on Mel.

As far as dating's concerned, I'd like to see her stop going after other girls' boyfriends. And each time was out of spite for Layla, Faith, and Brooke respectively. If Mel found someone of her own and went out with them because she actually had feelings for them, rather than using them to boost her popularity, or whatever, I'd consider that an improvement.

Her time time spent with Ace did nothing to change that.

Mel didn't go for Ace out of spite for Brooke. She didn't even know Brooke existed until most of hte way through her date with Ace (and look, she was pissed at first, then turned it around).

Thing about thier date was, it was good for Mel. For once, a boy didn't take her out and spoil her and do stuff for her, trying to impress her. he did stuff with her, to have fun, and she enjoyed it. between that and some of the growth she's shown in her own comic, it seems to be grounding her a bit (even if she is still haughty out of habit, or bacause she thinks she has to be).

though, yeah, given what's gone on at hekate academy, I don't think she has time for a relationship right now.

Maybe Tabby'd be interested in Ace?

Hard to say, since she never really showed interest either way, 'til Cerise came onto her.
Well, I'd say Callie would be better for Brooke than Ace in any case.

Mel didn't know about her, at first, but she definitely planned to spite her, once she did. She even threw a pair of jeans in her face, to keep Ace from walking her home.

And Brooke later referred to Mel as a "bottle blonde boyfriend stealing loser." So, yes, Mel's actions were definitely out of spite.

That was out of necessity, not by choice. Ace didn't spoil her 'cuz he couldn't afford to, which is why he suggested they go out for corndogs instead. That was within his budget.

Maybe, but I have to wonder if Callista would be willing to try dating another cryptid, after her experience with Cerise? If it weren't for that, I could almost see it happening.

I still prefer her with Ace though.

Is there any reason to assume this?

She didn't want HER date to end because of Brooke. That's all that says, not that its was spite. She was just trying to save what was left of her date.

Brooke was irritated BEFORE Mel and Ace somehow paired off. Afterward, blaming her boyfriend would mean ending the relationship; blaming herself is out of the question; so, blame Mel, and be extra bitchy about it, because you're STILL irritated from earlier.

Ace's motivation was money, yes, but that fact that Mel was able to discover joy in simple pleasures was still a great step forward for Mel. Even if that's not what Ace was trying to do.

I refuse to speculate on Callie's preferences. Without the Faith Influence, Callie may discover boys ... or not. I'll leave that to the freedom of the writers.

Are you glossing over the fact that Mel intended to steal Ace from Brooke, once she found out he already had a girlfriend, with the added incentive of making her weep? What do you call that? :-\

That's no different than when she tried to steal Kade from Layla, and Ash from Faith. She was motivated by spiting all three of the girls they were with and flat-out said as much.

Brooke didn't become irritated 'til after Ace told her he'd made a date with Melissa, which made her think he was dumping her for Mel. And she had good reason, Ace was her boyfriend. No girl wants to hear about their bf two-timing them. So she had nothing to blame herself for.

What I find interesting is, you give the girl who manipulated Ace into taking her out - which had nothing to do with even liking the guy, but because she was starved for male attention and he was literally the first one that walked by - a free pass. Yet you call the girl who was justifiably upset, "bitchy"? Shouldn't that be the other way around? :-\

This is the only part I agree with.

On reread of the pertinent strips, I guess I'm retro projecting Brooke's more recent bitchiness on the situation.
My recollections had certain events out of order which vastly changed their interpretation.
I still say the jeans were more about wanting the date to continue than spiting Brooke. She wanted her male attention - Brooke was immaterial except in that she needed to be gone for said attention to continue.
And Brooke's characterization of her has more to say about Brooke's state of mind at the time than Melissa's actual actions (not that those were not a factor).

Well, in any case, Ace was good for Mel. What she needs is someone like that who she can enjoy being with. And preferably is single, because it seems competion causes Mel torevert to her more bitchy tendencies.

Not Ace, all the drama surrounding him, with Brooke, and now Nina would be a bit much.
