Pairing: Established Rua x Rally.
Summary:
Rua and Rally Dawson cause a scene at the premiere of Jack Atlas' second movie.
Fudo Yusei, Izayoi Aki, Crow Hogan, and Ruka made small talk. It was premiere night of the second entry in Jack Atlas' cinematic oeuvre, Road of the King: The Control Towers.
They were short a couple people.
The man of the hour himself begrudgingly entertained the press pool, enduring a no-holds-barred interview from Neo Domino City's star reporter, Angela. To her amazement, the movie was not another propaganda piece, but instead a reasonably accurate portrayal of Jack's role combatting the Dark Signers.
Also absent was Ruka's brother, Rua, a no-show after they arrived for a photo op with Misty Lola on the red carpet. In a twist of fate, the world's top model had been cast as Carly Nagisa, an irony that went over the real Carly's head when she viewed the film, since she hadn't regained her memories of her membership in the doomsday cult or her Duel against her dearest Jack.
"You there!" A big guy in a suit apprehended Ruka. "Nowhere to run!"
"Hey! Let me go!"
"What's this about, now?" Yusei removed the guard's hand, composed yet vaguely threatening.
"This girl was caught stealing food!"
"Stealing? It's an all-you-can-eat buffet! Everything's up for grabs!" Crow retorted.
"Not when the food is from the table reserved for VIPs!"
"It wasn't me!"
Yusei calmly downplayed the situation, reasoning, "There must be some misunderstanding. Ruka has been with us all evening."
"The cameras don't lie! We have video evidence! Her face is clear as day!"
"M-my face?"
She and Crow groaned, as if to grouch, "You know who hasn't been with us all evening?"
"Where is your accomplice? The other girl who was with you?"
"I'm not a girl!" the tablecloth behind them angrily rebuked.
Crow agitatedly did the jobber's job for him, lifting the sheet.
Underneath were Rua and Rally Dawson, the former chowing on a chicken drumstick, and the latter scooping handfuls of chips into his mouth, crumbs flaking his dress.
Yusei looked ashamed of them both, though unsurprised.
"There's the guilty one!" Ruka sold her twin out.
"Ha! So you admit it! We do have the same face!" he celebrated.
"We are not the same!" she refused.
"I'm taking you two in!"
"Th-the whole thing was my idea! Just leave Rally out of it!"
"Whatever. Come along, kid!" The bouncer hauled him away.
"R-Rua!"
"Wait for me, Rally! I'll write you from jail!" the boy hammed. Microseconds later, he unworriedly asked his capturer, "Say, Mister Security Man! Do I get a cool criminal marker like Yusei and Crow?"
"He's taking this rather well…" Aki wondered whether they should intervene.
Rally nibbled his last chip overemotionally. "I miss him already!"
