DestinysTacos

Angelina: "Hey, DestinysTacos! I haven't seen you since Youtube! It's great to see you again!"

(Angelina then notices the door DestinysTacos had kicked down.)

Angelina: "And you're as excitable as ever I see. Fable would be happy to see you too, however, we're having a bit of trouble tracking her down at the moment. But I'm sure she'll be glad to see you once we do find her! After all, she can only hide for so long!"

(Angelina giggles.)

Angelina: "And if Aceshipping has gotten you confuzzled, this is just the tip of the shipping iceberg. Trust me, there are a lot 'weirder' ones down the line. Like this next one for example. Now please, excuse me. I gotta go find Yugo and Shinji."


Ulrich362

(Quill appears out of nowhere.)

Quill: "You would be right, my friend! Every single one! Fable is active in the shipping scene with Arc-V so she's pretty familiar with most Arc-V ships!"

(Paper then also appears out of nowhere.)

Paper: "242 ships to be exact as of now. It would certainly be a miracle if Fable even gets close to halfway through this list. After all, she does have a...'habit' of deleting her work when she feels like its garbage..."

(As Paper is talking to Ulrich362, Quill is subtly trying to scoot away. Paper is aware of this and is slowly moving in the same direction as Quill but is still talking to Ulrich362.)

Paper: "...Although she has been a writer for years now, she's still very much a novice and some chapters may be vastly better than others. We hope you'll continue to enjoy the show."

(Just as Paper is about to wrap up his conversation, Quill makes a break for it.)

Paper: "GET BACK HERE, YOU BASTARD!"

(Paper immediately gives chase.)


Unknowedz

Pen: "Hey! It's Unknowedz! It's good to see ya, buddy! And don't worry! There's no such thing as a stupid question here! As far as I know, yes. This collection will be limited to Arc-V Ships only. I'm not sure if Fable would want to include Crossover Arc-V Ships but since she is just starting out, I think she just wants to keep things basic for now. And of course she had to bring back the role plays! She loves chatting with the reviewers...most of the time, heh. Don't worry! Pencil and Brush will find her soon!...I hope."


Leo

Angelina: "Oh, if you hate it already then it's all downhill from here, my guy."


Queen of Stars

Pen: "Of course we remember you! Well...Fable told us about you but it's great to meet you all the same! And I'm really sorry about my twin. He's a Ritual User and isn't a big fan of the 'newer' Summoning Methods. Even Synchro or Xyz. Also, don't worry about memorizing our names. We pretty much showed up out of nowhere and there's 7 of us so don't worry about getting our names on the first try."

(Pen then turns to Yugo.)

Pen: "You haven't looked at the list, have you?"

Yugo: "What's that suppose to mean?"

(Angeline finally spots Yugo.)

Angelina: "Oh! There you are! Yugo, come on! You're up!"

Yugo: "Wait...what?! Already?!"

Angelina: "Yup! You and Shinji."

Yugo / Yuya / Yuto: "Shinji?"

Yuri: "Who the hell is Shinji?"


(Angelina jumps back on stage.)

Angelina: "Everyone! Your attention, please! The show will now continue with Alterationshipping! The shipping name for Yugo and Shinji Weber! In this AU, Yugo grew up as a Top but after his father is killed, he must learn to survive in the Commons with Rin, Crow, and Shinji. Now this is a ship that Fable skip over the first time around she did this collection, but after getting to know Shinji's character a bit more she manage to get those creative juices flowing! So here we go!


Ship Name: Alterationshipping (Yugo x Shinji Weber)

Name Reason: Named as such because they're both trying to change their fate, Shinji wants to change the city with his revolution and Yugo is trying to change his life to a better one like Jack did.


Make Up or Break Up

"GAHHH!" Due to the scream, Shinji naturally raised his head up quickly, but he forgot that he was underneath the bike and ended up smacking his head against the metal. Groaning, he rolled out from beneath the white Duel Runner, rubbing his head.

"Yugo-?"

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY BABY?!" Yugo shouted, eyes wide. He looked at Shinji like he had just committed the worse crime.

"Oh, I was just making a few adjustments." Shinji replied, reaching for a rag to wipe the sweat off his forehead. "I figured since you wouldn't stop nagging about the speed output I just went ahead and fixed it for you." Shinji stood up and grabbed his tools so that he could put them back on the shelf. He expected Yugo to start thanking him but instead he got the opposite reaction.

"Why would you do that?!"

"Huh?"

"Why would you touch another's man bike?! That's like! The worse thing you could possibly do!"

"Yugo, I didn't break anything. I was just fixing it up for you." Shinji explained.

"You might as well have! You ruined my baby! She'll never be the same!" Yugo sobbed. Shinji rolled his eyes.

"Stop being so over dramatic. And honestly you should be thanking me."

"Thanking you?!" Yugo sounded appalled. "After what you just did to my bike?!"

"I fixed your bike!" Shinji snapped. "You've been complaining about it for weeks now!"

"That doesn't mean I wanted you to fix it!"

"What is with all the yelling down here?!" Rin shouted from the top of the garage steps.

"Yugo's being dumb again!"

"I am not!" Yugo growled back. Rin came down the steps and looked around, seeing nothing immediately amiss. "He touched my bike!" Yugo shouted, pointing at him. Rin glanced over at Shinji and shook her head.

"Bad move, Shinji."

"Are you serious?" Shinji muttered, confused on why levelheaded Rin wasn't taking his side.

"Yugo is super picky about his bike. You shouldn't have been messing with it."

"I! Was! Fixing! It!" Shinji emphasized.

"How would you like it if I started messing with your Duel Runner without permission?!" Yugo shouted.

"Well, I wouldn't be acting like a Top's brat for one!" Shinji argued back, throwing his hands in the air. "I'm done." And with those final words Shinji climbed back up the stairs, brushing past Rin as he did so and ignoring the hurt look in Yugo's eyes.

Feeling a need to cool down, Shinji went to the kitchen where Crow was cooking. The kids were out so the house was quiet. Crow looked up from the stew he was making and took in his friend's sour expression.

"I heard shouting. Is everything okay?"

"It's nothing. Yugo is just acting like a child." Shinji muttered as he reached into the fridge for a soda can. Crow raised an eyebrow at him.

"More details, please?" Shinji opened his can and took a few sips before answering.

"I was trying to be a good person and help Yugo with his bike. You know how he's been complaining about not being able to accelerate fast enough for the past two weeks? Well, I did a few tweaks and worked out a few dents and that kid has the nerve to yell at me for helping." Shinji took another sip to calm his nerves. "And not just him. Him and Rin!"

Shinji waited for Crow to start agreeing with him, but instead, he just sat there and stared at him like he had grown an extra arm.

"Did you ask him if he wanted help?"

"No, I just assumed-"

"That's the problem, Shinji." Crow placed a cover over the pot of stew. "You can't just 'assume' Yugo would be okay with that, and with his bike no less."

"But-"

"Everyone has a special connection to their Duel Runners, more so with Yugo. Shinji, that Duel Runner is the only thing Yugo has of his old life." Crow leaned back against the counter, his arms crossed. "It's the only thing the Tops didn't take away when his father died." Shinji's heart drop into his stomach.

Yugo used to be a Top. The keyword was 'used to'. Yugo's father was some hotshot pro Turbo duelist but after a fatal crash Yugo was left alone and the Tops just threw him in the orphanage, along with his father's Duel Runner. Due to Yugo's age and the laws of the City, the Duel Runner was the only thing that would fall into his possession. Any money the family had was used to pay for the funeral and given back to the city.

It was how Yugo ended up here in the slums, living with him and Crow. That's when Shinji realized that his parting words carried much more venom than he mean too.

"Shit." Shinji swore, running a hand through his bangs. "I gotta apologize."

"You do that." Crow said, nodding before returning his attention back to the stew. "But don't look so worried. Yugo is a pretty chill guy. It takes a lot to get on his bad side." Shinji hopes his friend is right as he heads back to the garage.

Both Yugo and Rin were still down there. He could hear their voices from the staircase but they were speaking too quietly for him to make out what they were saying. Taking a breath, Shinji went down the steps.

Yugo was seated beside his Duel Runner with Rin crouched beside him. Both of them went silent when he came in. At first, Shinji wasn't sure where to start and he shifted awkwardly in place. Rin stood up.

"Well guess that's my cue to leave. You both have fun." Rin said over her shoulder before climbing back up the stairs, leaving the two of them alone. Once Rin was gone, Shinji looked back at Yugo to see that he had turned his attention back to his Duel Runner.

"Yugo, look I-"

"Don't say it." Yugo interrupted, toying with the screwdriver in his hand. "I get it. I was being a dumb ass again. I know." Shinji really wanted to take that out Yugo was giving him, but he couldn't let Yugo take all the blame for the argument.

"No, no, we're both dumb asses. A Duel Runner is the only thing that can make a Commoner really feel free and those that have them are very lucky to have them." Shinji laid a hand on his own Duel Runner that was parked next to Yugo's. "I shouldn't have started tinkering with your's, especially without permission. I'm sorry about that. It won't happen again."

Yugo stood up from the ground and smiled warmly at Shinji.

"Eh, it's really no big deal. I was just being over dramatic. It's not like you actually broke it or anything. You really did a nice job tuning her up." Yugo patted the bike affectionately. "You have some real skills, Shinji. More than me or my dad."

"You learn a few things after living in the slums for so long."

"Maybe you could teach me a few things. Compared to you and Crow, me and Rin don't know all that much."

"Sure thing. It isn't as complicated as other Tops make it out to be."

"Yugo! Shinji! Are you guys done making out yet?! It's time for dinner!" Rin called from upstairs. Shinji's face redden as did Yugo's.

"Don't you mean make up?!" Yugo shouted back.

"Same thing!" Rin responded causing Yugo to sigh and rub a hand over his face.

"Sorry. She's...uhh...yeah..." Yugo stumble over his words before rushing for the stairs. "Let's go eat!" Yugo said, a bit too loudly before disappearing. Shinji had to wait a few extra minutes for his blush to go down before he could join them.


Angelina: "Oh! And I forgot to mention! This story is going to update every week on Friday until we got through all the A and B ships."

Yugo: "Good to know our torture only occurs once every week..."

(Yugo groans.)

Angelina: "Oh stop whining, Yugo. It's not like you're doing this alone. You think Shinji is enjoying this?"

Yugo: "The guy only has 4 ships to his name! I got like a billion!"

Angelina: "Well it's not my fault you are such a well liked character!"

Shinji: "What are you saying?! I am very well liked as well!"

Angelina: "And besides, Yuya has it far worse than anybody. He's paired with literally everybody."

Yuya: "No need to remind me..."

Angelina: "In fact, it would probably be easier to list the people he isn't shipped with."

(Angelina thinks for a moment.)

Angelina: "...Shinji."

Shinji: "Oh come on! Are you serious? But I had a duel with him!"

Yuri: "That's what happens when you're a forgettable character!"

(Yuri calls out from off stage.)

Angelina: "Yuri, stop being an asshole. We're getting off topic. Yugo, Shinji, take a bow. We're moving on."
