Fable: "Yeah. It's a little sad that this is Iggy's only ship. But I guess that's to be expected since Yuya is really the only one he interacted with in the show. I won't lie. I was sort of expecting Iggy x Dennis and Iggy x Yuto to be on the list, but there isn't. Anyway, I'm glad that you're enjoying the stories, although...heh. Beamshipping isn't next. Next is actually Bardshipping."
Sylvio: "You darn right it is!"
Fable: "I'm sorry! I mixed them up!"

Angel: "Oh! Pizza!"
(Angel grabs a slice.)
Angel: "Yummy!"
Fable: "Deciding to give the pranks a break, Nova?"
Sylvio: "I'm not complaining."
Fable: "Of course, Sylvio. By the way, can you please hurry? You and Lulu are due to go on in five."
Sylvio: "Already done! Let's go, Lulu!"
(Shay glares at Sylvio.)
Angel: "Don't make me lock you in the closet again, Shay."
Lulu: "I'll be fine, brother. Don't worry."
(Shay lets out huff of annoyance but continues to eat his pizza.)
Angel: "So...our bad! Bardshipping, the shipping name for Lulu Obsidian and Sylvio Sawatari was next. Not Beamshipping. That's up next! Also sorry for being late with the update."
(Angel glances over at Fable who is playing on her Nintendo Switch.)
Angel: "We ran into a few...problems. So because of that we're going to post both Bard and Beamshipping! For Bardshipping, this act takes place in an AU where Yuya works as a waiter while Lulu and Sylvio are teachers at the same school. What would you even call this AU? Job AU? Anyway, hope you enjoy!"
Ship Name: Bardshipping (Lulu Obsidian x Sylvio Sawatari)
Name Reason: Named so because a bard is a type of traveling entertainer that focuses on writing and sharing songs, like Sylvio's entertainment/theater troupe cards and Lulu's "lyric" archetype. "Bard" can also sound similar to "bird," like Lulu's bird theme.

"Hello and welcome to Lancers! I'll be your waiter for this evening. Can I start you guys off with some drinks?" The group's tomato haired waiter asked. On his black suit, a silver name tag read - Yuya.
"Just water for me." Zuzu answers.
"Lemonade, please." Sora sets his menu to the side.
"Gong would take an iced tea, thank you." Gong nods. Yuya writes down the orders with a smile.
"And for you, sir?" Yuya turns to Sylvio, but he seem to be transfix by something in the distance. Curious, Yuya followed his gaze to another table which sat a young lady with long purple hair. She was dressed in a cream and white colored gown and was reading from a rather large novel. In front of her was a salad that she had ordered. Lulu Obsidian was one of the restaurant's regulars and Yuya knew her very well. She came in with her brother from time to time, but she usually came in by herself.
"Sylvio." Zuzu hissed at her friend. "Stop staring. You look like a weirdo." Sylvio blinked and shook himself out of his trance.
"What? Huh?"
"Your drink...sir?" Yuya asked again.
"Oh, uhh...j-just a water will be fine." Yuya wrote it down and nodded.
"Alright then. I'll be right back." When Yuya came back with their drinks Sylvio had went back to staring at the girl again.
"Sylvio, quit it with the staring. You're making our waiter think you're a stalker." Sora pointed out as Yuya set down their drinks.
"I am not!" Sylvio quickly protested, his face red.
"Oh, I wasn't thinking that at all." Yuya said, honestly.
"Gong apologizes on his friend's behalf. He isn't usually this creepy." Gong whispers to Yuya, which Sylvio heard.
"Apologize for what?! I'm not even doing anything! S-she just happens to be sitting there! That isn't my fault!" Sylvio crosses his arms and huffs like a child which causes Zuzu to shake her head.
"He's been crushing on that poor girl for months now." She explains to Yuya.
"Oh, I see." Yuya nods.
"Don't tell him that!" Sylvio shouts. Luckily, the restaurant wasn't really busy during this time of the day, and Lulu looked too preoccupied with her book to really notice the other table.
"Sylvio, if you like her that much why don't you tell her?" Sora questions.
"Oh, as if it was that easy." Sylvio mutters sourly. "Don't you think I've tried!"
"Well, can we order now? I'm starving." Zuzu says, opening up her menu. Yuya took the group's orders and went back to the kitchen. Once their food was ready Yuya brought it out, carrying it all on a silver tray.
"Finally!" Sora's mouth waters at the sight of his ice cream sundae, which the boy insisted on ordering first despite Zuzu's protests.
"Will that be all?" Yuya asks the group once everyone had their food.
"Yeah, that girl's phone number." Sylvio says glumly, jerking his head in Lulu's direction. Obviously, it was meant to be a sad joke. Nothing more.
But there was a reason Yuya was one of the Lancers' best servers...
"Excuse me, Ms. Lulu?" Lulu looked up from her book to see Yuya standing beside her.
"Yuya, you don't have to be so formal with me, you know." Lulu smiles.
"Sorry, but I sort of have this odd request."
"Oh?"
"Yeah. You see that guy over there?" Yuya points to Sylvio's table. "The one with the blonde hair? Well, he asked me if I could get your phone number for him."
"He...did?"
"Uh-huh. He seems like a good guy. A little on the weird side, but that should make things interesting, right?" Lulu covers her mouth with her hand to stop her giggles from escaping. Lulu recognized him as the Theater teacher at the school she worked at. She didn't know him personally but she has seem him often enough.
"Yes. You are right. Yuya, may I borrow your pen and pad? I have a special request."
"And that's how our waiter became my wingman." Sylvio finishes the story with a clap of his hands. The classroom of students gave their teacher mostly odd looks. A few looked impress that their goofball of a teacher could even land a date with Ms. Obsidian, the English teacher.
"You have the weirdest life stories, Mr. Sawatari." One of his male students, Tate, deadpans.
Angel: "I can't believe you forgot!"
Fable: "In my defense, Kaiba's deck sucks during the early seasons of Yu-Gi-Oh and I kept on losing."
Angel: "You didn't have to beat the level at that very second!"
Fable: "You underestimate my determination, Angel."
Angel: "..."
Fable: "..."
Fable: "Yuya! Ray! You're up next!"
