And that is PRECISELY why so many people like that shipping! There's no use beating around the bush - I am all for WordGirlxTobey.

It is true, as of right now, that there are absolutely no WGxScoops stories on Fanfiction.net, and a plethora of WGxTobey ones. Now, why is that? Simply the fact that it's the "classic" scene - two people who can't be together, the old "Romeo/Juliet" setting. So what if they have problems? What if she's a hero and he's a villain? That's what makes it exciting! It's about their characters growing and overcoming their problems because of their passionate love. Remember Twilight, everybody? A pair that have some sort of major flaw in their relationship, but manage to let their love bloom anyway. I can't say I'm the most avid Twilight fan in the world, and comparing Twilight to WordGirl isn't exactly "spot on"... but still, as Shakespeare said, "Love blossoms under the most unlikely circumstances". Sure they fight a lot, but that's because WG is too blind to see it. It's that great love and hate relationship that gets people so fired up.

Now, let me move on to ScoopsxBecky. Sigh. There's only one word needed: Workaholic. The Daily Rag is Scoop's life, he doesn't know what he'd be without it. He'd do anything for a great headline, even revealing his girlfriend's secret identity. Remember "Vocab Bee" when Scoops found out Becky was WordGirl? What did he do? Did he promise to keep her secret because it was important to her and because he was such a considerate friend? Did he even ASK what Becky wanted? No, he screamed at the top of his lungs, "I'm going to tell everyone that you're WordGirl!" What kind of guy would betray one of his best friends, just for a story? And let's be honest, Becky's been so adamant with her affection for Scoops that the only thing that's left to get his attention is to take a biplane and skywrite their names in the sky. Let's face it: he's not interested.
