I'd like your attention really quickly.

In the last chapter, Erza sent StingYu and Rogura on separate dates, so things are gonna be slightly altered for the next few chapters. This chapter will be StingYu's date, then next chapter will be Rogura, and I'll alternate between the two until they finish and intertwine together.

OH MY MAVIS!

Ten thousand views! This... is a milestone! A big one! An important one! So naturally, you guys deserve something super special for it!

Now, you guys may not know this, but I make each chapter at least 1,000 words. It's kinda tough, but it's a good number for me.

So, for this chapter, and the next chapter...

2,000 words! Double the chapter, double the fun! It's like they always say.

Prepare for trouble! Make it double!

Now, let's get on with the StingYu! Author-san, away!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-Sting P. O. V.-

Yukino and I left the guild and walked to the ice cream parlor that I always go to. Apparently, she also frequents here.

But when we arrived, we received a rude awakening. A sign on the door.

"Closed."

I punched the wall. "God damn it!"

"Sting, calm down, read the rest of the sign."

Below the closed sign was the times the parlor was open.

"Oh. Okay. Well, unfortunately, this place won't open for another two hours. I guess we'll have to change our current plans. What do you want to do?"

Yukino thought for a moment. "Oh! I know! There was a movie that I wanted to see at the theaters, but I never got a good chance to go yet."

I smiled. "Sounds fun. What's the movie?"

"Zootopia! I know Rogue saw it, because he quoted one of the more popular lines from the movie and the dinner yesterday. He said it was good."

I laughed. "Hey, I've been meaning to see that! Let's go!"

I grabbed her wrist and we ran to the movie theater, laughing all the way.

-Minerva P. O. V.-

"Well, they seem to be having fun already." Lucy said.

"This might be bad." I mumbled.

"How? They're going to movies. They're still on a date. Do they have to get ice cream?"

"That's not the problem, Boobs McKenzie! The problem is that they need to be alone! If they go to a crowded theater, there's a problem there! We need them to make out at least once today, and only rude assholes make out during a movie! Unless, the entire theater does, but that's highly unlikely. Can you remember that happening ever, Time Lord?"

Rufus tapped his sexy head. "No, Lady Tigress, I do not remember that ever happening, not even in a cheesy romance novel."

"You two are getting way to into this." Lucy sighed.

"Be quiet, Boobs McKenzie! I'm going to inform the Rogura Unit about this update." I told her. I then spoke into the walkie talkie.

"Come in, Rogura Unit. Rogura Unit, come in. StingYu Unit calling Rogura Unit."

"Rogura Unit here, Scarlet speaking. What's the sitch?"

"Tigress speaking. There's been a change of plans! StingYu is going to the movies. I repeat, StingYu is going to the movies!"

"What movie?"

"Zootopia."

"Oh, that's good. A nice fluffy heartwarming movie is good, plus there's that romance plot they have going in it."

"Yeah, I remember. I saw it with Rufus. I told him the best joke afterwards!"

"What was the joke?"

"I said 'The fox and the bunny gonna get together and make a funny!' It was great!"

(This is exactly what my cousin said after we saw Zootopia with his friends and my brother. It killed us.)

It was silent on the other end.

"Scarlet? Come in, Scarlet! Scarlet!"

"Muffet here, Tigress. Scarlet just suddenly fell on the ground, laughing uncontrollably. What happened?"

"I told her the best joke in the world."

"... Anyway, Rogue and Kagura are waiting at a magic bus stop. I think they're gonna take it to the boardwalk."

"Ah. The magic bus. Almost as good as the Magic School Bus."

"Also, something else happened. Before they got to the bus stop, Kagura purchased something at a shop. I don't know what it was, and she's carrying it around in a white shopping bag."

"Hmm... Hopefully it won't cause any problems. Anyway, once Scarlet recovers, tell her to keep an eye on what that thing might be. Tigress out."

"Got it. Muffet out."

I hung up the walkie talkie.

"You guys are acting like military secret agents." Lucy sighed.

"I remember that Lady Tigress enjoys role playing or things like that." Rufus said in his sexy voice.

"Just like Scarlet at Fairy Tail." Lucy added.

"Okay, enough chatter. The targets are on the move! We gotta follow them." We started following Sting and Yukino by hiding in the shadows.

-Yukino P. O. V.-

We got to the theater pretty quickly.

"I'll pay for the tickets." Sting said.

"Are you sure? I can pay for my own."

"No, put your money away, Yuki. I'm treating you to what a pretty girl like you deserves. I'll also pay for our concessions."

I smiled. "Thank you, Sting."

He smiled back. "No problem!"

"...Wait... Did you just call me pretty...?"

He froze. "Y-Yeah... Why? It's true, so I'm not gonna take it back... Or, maybe pretty is the wrong word... Beautiful is more like it..." I could see his cheeks turn pink.

I don't blame him. Mine were, too.

We got our tickets and went over to the concessions. Sting and I both got bottles of lemonade. We thought that it would be better to get one large popcorn to share. We also got some candy. I got Junior Mints and Sting got Milk Duds. We did this silly thing where we mixed them in with the popcorn, since we both liked both candies. I always wanted to that when I got a boyfriend!

Wait... B-boyfriend...? No, Sting and I aren't dating... Are we? I mean, we kissed this morning, but... Maybe it was because we both thought we were dreaming... Or... Maybe it WAS all just a dream? Oh, but I wish it wasn't... I'll just act like it did, but I don't know it was, and let Sting decide if we should talk about it.

Sting went to use the restroom before the show, so I watched the snacks.

That's when she called out to me.

"Yukino-chan!"

I turned to see a familiar pair walking towards me. The male carrying a bucket of popcorn while the female was brandishing a bottle of water.

"Juvia! Gray! What are you two doing here?"

"...No reason..." Gray said.

Oh, so they're on a date.

"Gray-sama, you don't have to be so embarrassed. Gray-sama and Juvia are on a date!"

I hugged her. "That's great news! But, I thought that Natsu and Gray were sick with a cold?"

Gray scoffed, then smiled. "Hey, that cold never bothered me anyway. I only was in bed for so long because Juvia insisted that I rest. I got better overnight last night, so I decided to thank Juvia for taking care of me with a movie."

"That's so sweet! What about Natsu? And wasn't Mira in charge of watching you two?"

"Juvia convinced Mira to let Juvia watch me instead, meaning Natsu was the only one to be treated by Satan's Mistress. He's been moaning about how sick he is and how he wants to see Lucy and how Mira keeps yelling at him whenever he uses his scarf as a tissue."

I nodded. "I see. I can understand how much a cold can affect a fire wizard."

"So, what are you doing at the movies, Yukino-chan?"

Before I could answer, Sting can out of the restroom and I gave him his lemonade. He insisted on carrying the popcorn, too. "Okay, I'm good now, Yuki. Are you ready for the movie?"

"Sting?" Gray looked confused.

Juvia was smirking. "Yuki?"

I blushed. "Sting and I wanted to get some ice cream, but the shop is closed right now, so we decided to see Zootopia."

"Hey, Gray-sama is taking Juvia to see that movie, too!"

"Well, Juvia, how about we have a double date? That okay with you two?"

I looked at Sting and he nodded. "Sure." He said. "What could go wrong?"

We went to the theater and took our seats. They were right in the middle of a trailer for The Angry Birds Movie. Cool, Peter Dinklage is in it! And Josh Gad! It's like they're teaming up like they did in Pixels!

I think this will go well.

-Minerva P. O. V.-

This is not going well.

"Min- I mean, Tigress, what's wrong?" Lucy asked me.

We were watching from the entrance. Luckily, we weren't spotted.

"We won't we able to go into the theater. That's the problem. There's nothing wrong with a StingYu and Gruvia double date. It's a bit random, but Scarlet will freak once we radio her next."

"So... are we gonna leave or something?"

I grumbled. "Sorry, Boobs McKenzie, we can't. We need to find a way to monitor them, in case something important happens."

"What could possibly happen that would be so important?" Lucy groaned.

"You fool! Don't you get it! The classic cliche 'hands touch each other while sharing popcorn' trope! Imagine what that trope would do to the shy Sting and Yukino! It's perfect for them! We need ways to draw out shy little interactions between them. Hands touching, falling asleep on each other, hugging. We need these things to make StingYu canon! I need to uphold Mira's creed!"

"Her... creed?" Lucy asked.

She'll regret asking that.

"To ship until the day you die. To never quit and always try. To try to make the ships go canon. To spy and pry with careful plannin'. So sayeth the queen of shipping!" I said, dramatically.

"I was there when Lady Tigress swore that oath. I remember it exactly, and those were the exact words. She also had to swear a beginning part." Rufus added.

"Yeah, I had to say 'I, Minerva Orlando, promise to ship whatever I want, whenever I want, until the day all my ships are canon!' Then I swore the rest of the oath which was the creed I just spoke."

"You guys are just insane. You and Scarlet."

"Never mind that. I have the solution! Time Lord, Boobs McKenzie, come with me!" I led the two to where the answer lied.

The projector room.

"Are you insane!?" Lucy yelled quietly.

"Hey, the guy is off duty right now. We just need to get inside. Boobs McKenzie, this is your department. 'Pick' the lock."

She gave me look, then her eyes widened when she realized what I meant. She then had a given up look when she saw that I was dead serious.

"Fine. I got this."

She stood up and wound up her leg.

"Lucy Kick!"

She kicked the door open and we went inside. I locked the door behind us.

And by lock the door, I mean block the now broken door with a chair.

We peeked through the window and spotted Sting's bright blonde hair and Juvia's blue hair poking out from her hat. Sting was on the far left, on his right was Yukino, then Juvia, then Gray. Perfect.

"Okay, if we see anything important, I'll write it down in this notebook." I said, pulling out my notebook.

"...Where were you keeping that?"

"I have a life outside of you, Boobs McKenzie."

"You just wanted to break in to see Zootopia for free, didn't you?"

"No, that's only 20% of why. 75% was for the double date."

"What was the last 5%?"

"I just really wanted to break in to somewhere."

"...You, Scarlet, and Mira have way too much in common."

"I don't blame Lady Tigress for wanting to see this movie again. It was very good. I remember that the voice of the mayor was J. K. Simmons. He was the voice of Stanford Pines on Gravity Falls and Cave Johnson in Portal 2. He's a very good voice actor."

"Seriously, why do all of you guys play so many video games!?"

"Hey, Time Lord and I played the Portal games, Undertale, and the Ace Attorney games together. They were all fun as hell!"

"...Say Tigress, I think I came up with a better code name for you."

"Hmm. What do you got, Boobs McKenzie?"

"Orlando Bloom."

"... No, too long. Tigress is half the syllables, so we'll be able to say it quicker."

"Then why do my code name and Ninth Grade Ninja's both have four syllables!? Orlando Bloom has the same amount of syllables as that!"

"Quiet, Boobs McKenzie, I'm watching for the 'hands touching while sharing popcorn' trope."

"I hate all of you."
