* FriendshipOnTheSet: A very interesting one between Melissa, her Casting Director Marcia Ross through employment by Half Pint Enterprise, and Creator/RobinShou during the filming of ''Filn/ForbiddenNights''. If anyone wants to thank someone for helping Robin become the Chosen one, then thank Melissa for introducing Marcia to Robin. Melissa and Marcia's friendship in later years on ''Little House on the Prairie'' helped lead to a relatively unknown friendship with Robin in making his silver screen debut in 1995. No, you are not reading this wrong! [[ItMakesSenseInContext Half Pint's friendship in her later years with a Runaway Shaolin Monk helped save Earth Realm by sending said monk to stop Shang Tsung only after Shang Tsung killed his little brother]]. Weird... that's one thing they both have in common. [[{{Irony}} Both Half Pint and Liu Kang lost their little brothers by fate]]. Meaning one thing... [[Film/MortalKombatTheMovie That fate of billions will depend upon a monk meeting a former resident of Walnut Grove! Ha ha ha... sorry]].
