Angel: "Aww, thank you! We'll try our best. And you're right! Yugo and Shinji do have a lot in common so I can see the appeal, but it isn't one of my favorites."
Yugo: "Thank Ra."
Angel: "Pawnshipping is personally my favorite 'Yugo' ship."
Yugo: "Why are you like this?"
Angel: "Because...I can."
Unknowedz
(The Arc-V Cast exchange terrified glances with each other.)
Gloria: "...We don't have a choice, do we?"
Angel: "Haha! Nope! You guys are binding by contracts!"
Gloria: "Why did we sign?"
(Gloria sighs.)
Angel: "It's not like I force you to sign."
Gloria: "That's what makes this hurt more."
Grace: "Oh, come on, sis! You have to admit, this has been really fun!"
Angel: "I'm glad you feel that way, Grace! Because you two are next!"
Grace: "Next?"
Angel: "...Did I stutter?"
queen of stars
Pen: "Yugo, you're so pretty!"
Yugo: "What is this?! Change me back now!"
Pen: "Aww, but I think you look cute. You too, Yuri!"
Yuri: "I hate you all."
Pen: "Come on now, you two just have those personalities that just click!"
Yugo: "But we hate each other."
(Pen snaps her fingers as she walking back towards the stage.)
Pen: "That's the idea!"
Yuri: "What is with that girl?"
Yugo: "Same."
DestinysTacos
Angel: "Thank you, Destiny! You really help out! Now next is Grace and Gloria!"
Grace: "Already here!"
Gloria: "Unfortunately."
Angel: "Let's go!"
Shinji: "Are we free to go?"
Angel: "Yes! Except for Yugo!"
Yugo: "What?! Why?!"
Angel: "You said so yourself. You have a billion ships with your name in it."
Yugo: "I regret ever agreeing to this."
Angel: "You and everyone else, Yugo."
Angel: "Okay, everyone! Now we have Amazonesshipping! The shipping name for Grace Tyler and Gloria Tyler. Yes, they are siblings! If you're uncomfortable with that than this could totally be seen in a platonic sense! Okay, good? Good. This AU follows the Canon Storyline with Grace and Gloria's betrayal of Duel Academia! Let's see where this goes! Also! This story is a direct copy from the last shipping collection. Reason being, me and Fable didn't feel a need to rewrite the story so we're gonna post two chapters instead of one! So don't forget to check out Amethyshipping."
Ship Name: Amazonesshipping (Grace Tyler x Gloria Tyler)
Name Reason: Named so because they both use Amazoness decks.
The Queen and Her Liger
"Here ya go!" Grace said cheerfully as she handed a bowl to an elderly woman. The woman thanked her quietly with a small smile before shuffling off. Gloria narrowed her eyes. Grace may be able to fool everyone else with those fake smiles and assuring words, but she knew better.
Gloria could see the paleness in her cheeks, the dull shine in her eyes, the occasion stumble in her step. Her sister wasn't okay. She was sick. Probably from overworking. She was pushing herself too hard.
Suddenly, Grace began coughing which quickly turned into a fit. Saya, the girl who was working with her, stop serving and placed a hand on her back, rubbing it gently.
"Hey, are you alright, Grace?" She asked, concern clear in her blue eyes.
"I'm fine. Just something got stuck in my throat is all. Like, no worries." Grace smiled. Saya stared at her for a moment, her concern unwavering.
"Uhh...Saya?! A little help over here?!" Allen called from the other side of the room. The boy was struggling under the weight of four boxes stacked on top of one another in his arms. They were filled with soup cans. Looks like Aster had finally gotten the kid to do some actual work.
"Ah! Allen! I thought I told you not to take so much at one time!" Saya lightly scolded, much like a worried mother would before rushing over to help. Gloria gritted her teeth as Saya completely abandon her sister to serve all by herself. However, Grace seemed okay with it. She just smiled and served another bowl of soup to the next person in line.
"Here you go! Like, eat up!"
"G-Grace? I'm going to help Allen with these boxes. Is that okay?" Saya called, now holding two out of the four boxes her friend had been holding.
"No worries! You go and help your 'totally not' boyfriend! I can handle this!" Grace said. Both her and Grace, heck, anyone with a brain could see that Saya had lovey dovey feelings for Allen, however, Allen didn't even have a single brain cell so he was pretty much out of the loop.
"Boyfriend? What are you talking about?" Allen questioned. Gloria rolled her eyes at how dense the boy was as Saya nudge past him.
"C-come on, Allen! Let's get these to the kitchen!" Saya quickly left, followed by Allen. Gloria watch for a moment as her sister continued to serve soup to the Resistance until another one of her coughing fits happen, much worse than the others.
"Young lady, are you alright?" The older man she had been serving asked.
"W-who? Me?" Grace coughed, clearing her throat. "I'm like, totally fine! Just a frog in the throat." Okay, this was just too painful to watch any longer. Gloria moved forward and reached her sister's side in only a couple of strides. She placed a hand on her shoulder. "Oh, hey sis! What's up?"
"I'll take it from here. You need a break from soup duty." Grace's eyes widen.
"What? But sis, I can handle it!"
"No, you can't. Go take a break." Gloria repeated, a bit more forcefully, pushing her out of the way. Grace pouted at her like an immature child.
"Fine! Like, whatever!" Grace then left, her long silver hair waving as she moved. Even her hair had lost its shine. Gloria then got to work, serving the rest of the people their lunch.
She didn't like doing this. It made her stomach feel all tingly when she handed the bowl back to the other and got a warm smile in return. She even found herself smiling a few times. She had already talked about this with Aster but he just told her it was because she was doing something 'good' for a change. She didn't understand though. She did 'good' things for Academia and she hasn't felt like this before.
Was this how Grace felt when she served soup? Is this why she liked soup duty so much and hardly took any time off? If so, she was handling the feeling much better than she was. Once everyone had their bowls, Gloria took the nearly empty soup pots and headed back to the kitchen to get them washed. When she entered the kitchen she nearly drop the pots.
"Grace!" Gloria snaps. This caused her younger sister, as well as Allen and Saya, to look up at her. They were putting the soup cans away and Grace was helping them. Gloria gritted her teeth once more. Grace had ignored her orders and didn't leave to rest like she had asked.
"Like, what's your problem?" Grace asked. Gloria's eye twitched.
"I thought I told you to rest."
"No. You told me I needed a break from soup duty." Grace pointed at the cans. "This isn't soup duty. Like, duh." Gloria wanted to smack her for finding such a dumb loophole.
"Uhh...Grace? I'm a bit worried too." Saya said, setting down a soup can.
"Huh?"
"You've been working so hard. And we really appreciate it, but...I think you might be...overworking yourself."
"I have to agree with Saya on that. You've been doing more work than anyone else here. Even me! And that's saying something." Allen said as he set some more cans on the shelf. Gloria and Grace rolled their eyes while Saya just smiled kindly.
"Oh, come on you guys. Don't tell me you're turning into a worrywart like Gloria over there. So lame." Grace sighed, crossing her arms. Gloria grabbed her sister's shoulder.
"Bed. Now."
"Huh?"
"You heard me." Gloria growled. Grace met her gaze evenly, well, evenly as she could through feverishly bright eyes. When she saw that Allen nor Saya were coming to her defense she shoved away her hand.
"If you're going to be like that then fine!" She snaps before marching off. Gloria watched her go with a sigh. Why was she so difficult? She was never like this when they were at Academia.
"Hey, I know that look well." Gloria looked over at Allen, who was smirking at her. "I feel your pain."
"I sincerely doubt you do."
"Saya's the same way. She tries to do everything herself."
"H-hey! I do not! I'm just doing my part!" Saya objected, nearly dropping her soup cans. Allen just gave her a knowing look.
"Anyway, you should probably go after her. If she's anything like Saya, then she's probably doing the opposite of what you asked."
"For once you said something smart." Gloria said, before leaving. Allen went back to stocking the shelf before stopping. He blinked a couple of times as if his brain was trying to process something.
"Wait a minute...hey!"
Gloria found Grace wandering the halls of the Duel Sanctuary. In the opposite direction of their room. That wasn't surprising.
"Grace!" Gloria called. Grace didn't appear to have heard her and kept on walking. Gloria wasn't sure if this was on purpose or not. "Grace!" She called again, this time, getting an answer.
"Ugh! Like, what is it now?!" Grace snapped, turning to face her sister. "I'm going to bed so would you quit nagging at me like I'm some kid you're babysitting!"
"The only reason I'm nagging you is because you're not doing what I asked!" Gloria counter.
"Well excuse me, your majesty! I can't just 'teleport' to the damn room!"
"Then what exactly are you doing?! Taking the scenic route?!" Grace blinked in surprise.
"I...am?" Grace looked around for a moment as if she finally now realized that she wasn't even going in the right direction. "Whoa. How did I end up here?"
Okay. That was it.
Gloria grabbed Grace's arm and began to pull her down the hallway.
"You're going to bed and I'm going to make sure you do." Gloria said in such a tone that was not meant to be argued with.
"I'm not some little kid, you know." Grace huffed, but there was a trace of relief in her voice.
When they got to the room Grace took off her shoes and laid down on the bed. Their room wasn't anything fancy like in Academia, but you couldn't exactly expect that in this dimension. In fact, the two shared the room with two other Academia students but they weren't here right now. They were out, helping the shattered dimension and its people.
"Once you wake up, I'll get you some soup to eat." Grace opened her mouth, but Gloria shook her head. "I don't care what you say. I'm the oldest and what I say goes." Seeing that Grace was finally settling in for some rest she began to leave.
"Whatever. You are so bossy." Grace yawned as she curled up underneath the thin sheets. Gloria paused at the doorway.
"I'm bossy because I'm the oldest. I'm not going to sit back and watch you work yourself to death." Gloria took a deep breath. "That isn't what a big sister does."
"I know." Grace's reply was quick and soft. "And that's what I love about you. No matter what I do..." Gloria closed her eyes.
"I'll always be there for you, Grace. Nothing can change that. Not the Professor, not this war, not anything." Gloria allowed that last sentence to hang in the air for a moment. She then smirked to herself. "The Queen will always be there for her kitten."
"Oh, come on! Liger is not a kitten and neither am I!" Grace protested. Gloria allowed herself to chuckle. Sick or not, Grace still had that same reaction that she never got tired of.
"Goodnight, Grace." Gloria shuts the door behind her. Grace sighs and lays back down on the bed. Grace tried to stay pouty but found that she couldn't. Her body and mind felt like mush and the sweet embrace of sleep was more than tempting.
But just before falling asleep, Grace giggled quietly as she repeated her sister's words in her head.
The Queen will always be there for her pet Liger, just as Gloria will always be there for her.
Gloria: "That was awkward."
Angel: "It was awkward for all of us. So lets move past that awkwardness with the next ship!"
Grace: "Right now?"
Angel: "Right now."
