Modifying Aesthetics - ggplot2

I am trying to learn ggplot2 and have made below plots:

enter image description here

Using this code:

library(ggplot2); library(gridExtra)
gg <- ggplot(mydata,aes(x=Level))
plot1 <- gg + geom_line(aes(y=Experience,colour="xp"),size=1) +
    labs(title="xp") 
g <- ggplot(mydata,aes(x=Level))
plot2 <- g + geom_line(aes(y=Experience,colour="xp"),size=1) + geom_line(aes(y=Accu,colour="accu"),size=1) +
    labs(title="xp vs Accumulated") 
grid.arrange(plot1,plot2,ncol=2)

Where mydata is a data frame containing 3 columns (Level, xp and accu) and 30 rows.

What I am wondering is:

  1. How to get the y-axis on the left-hand plot to have the same form as the right-hand plot.
  2. How to make the color of "xp" the same in both plots without removing the descriptions of what the lines represent.

How about this (with some random data)?

library(ggplot2) 
library(gridExtra)
library(scales)

gg <- ggplot(mydata,aes(x=Level))
plot1 <- gg + geom_line(aes(y=Experience,colour="xp"),size=1) +
  labs(title="xp") + scale_y_continuous(labels = comma) +   
  scale_colour_manual(values = c("red"))

g <- ggplot(mydata,aes(x=Level))
plot2 <- g + geom_line(aes(y=Experience,colour="xp"),size=1) + 
   geom_line(aes(y=Accu,colour="accu"),size=1) +
   labs(title="xp vs Accumulated")  + scale_y_continuous(labels = comma) + 
   scale_colour_manual(values = c("blue", "red"))

grid.arrange(plot1,plot2,ncol=2)
