Life is Like a Hurricane (ducktales 2017)

Love Triangle

Summary: Just an alternate ending to the first scene in episode:  The Golden Lagoon of White Agony Plains.

***

"Hello, Scrooge. This is my date, Goldie. What's that? Your ex, you say. How awkward this must be for you," Flintheart said, laughing manically.

"I'm not your date," Goldie insisted, removing the man's hand from her back.

"If we're going by those standards, you're both my exes," Scrooge commented, rolling his eyes. Goldie's eyes widened, her gaze flickering to the hefty duck next to her.

Flintheart, on the other hand, let out a cry of outrage. "That's not true. You never once took me on a date! You've never even bought me a coffee."

"Are you asking me to take you out for coffee?" Scrooge asked, raising a brow at his rival.

"Well... eh, it might be nice, once in a while. Bit of a change from being bitter rivals all the time," the hefty billionaire admitted.

"Yes, Scroogie, why don't you take US out for coffee," Goldie suggested, her voice deepening to an amused purr.

"What?" Scrooge looked affronted at the suggestion. "Why do I have to pay? Why don't you both treat ME to coffee?"

"You're the richest duck in the world," the pair said, their voices echoing each other.

"But you..." Scrooge broke off, letting out a frustrated groan. "Fine. But one of you gets the cheque next time," he announced, tapping his foot impatiently.

"Fine by me, Scroogie," Flintheart said, grinning.

"I'm a little tapped for cash, actually. I'm sure two wealthy gentleducks, like you, can handle the bill," Goldie stated, grabbing the two men by the arms, and pulling them close on either side of her.

Scrooge rolled his eyes, letting out a sigh.

"Is she always like this?" Flintheart asked.

"Always," Scrooge told him.

Note: And then I watched the full episode. Not only were Scrooge and Goldie written perfectly for each other, there was this lovely love triangle, as well.
