The final score was 7-2. Duckator slowly walked away from the stage, his head hanging in shame. "H-how could I lose to the DSP of the Skullgirls community?" he muttered to himself as he walked to the audience and sat in the first free seat he could find. He stared forlornly at the floor, wiping away his tears on the sleeves of his perfectly pressed plaid shirt. He then felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked behind and saw MegamanDS standing there, smiling.
“Hey, Duckie-chan,” he greeted.
Duckator felt his heart skip a beat, and he quickly looked away, hiding his blush. “Oh, h-here to gloat about winning?” he stammered.
MegamanDS' smile fell. “I would never do that,” he replied. “I only have the utmost respect for you, and everyone in this community.”
“Liar!” Duckator shot back, “I bet Wing-kouhai set you up for this!”
MegamanDS knelt to Duck's level. “I don't know who told you that, but I'm here because I wanted to make sure you were feeling okay. And you shouldn't feel so down, you're still the best player in Skullgirls to me.”
Duck slowly looked into MegamanDS' eyes. “Do you mean that, Megaman-kun?” he asked earnestly.
“Of course, Duckie-chan!” MegamanDS replied. “You're the number one player, as rated by SRK. No one could possibly argue with that!”
Duckator began smiling. “Thanks, Megaman-kun. I r-r-really respect you too!”
MegamanDS chuckled and rubbed the back of his head. “Thanks, Duckie-chan,” he replied sincerely. He then snapped his fingers. “Hey, you know what? Why don't we go make the East Coast free again?”
Duckator gasped in joy. “You mean that?”
MegamanDS nodded his head. “Anything for my favorite Skullgirls player. Now come on, the East Coast isn't going to make itself free, now will they?”
Duckator skipped out of the room with MegamanDS that night, hoping deep down, that his true love would finally notice him one day.
