Scroldie

Scroldie is the het ship between Scrooge McDuck and Goldie O'Gilt from the DuckTales fandom.

The Golden Lagoon of White Agony Plains!
Scrooge is enjoying the free food at Glomgold's museum wing opening, when he spots a blond haired woman in a gold dress. The triplets ask if it's something villainous, and Scrooge says that it's worse. It's his ex. Huey asks if he's talking about his ex-girlfriend, and Scrooge says she's ex everything from rivals to business partners. She see's him and heads over, as Scrooge tells the boys to watch their wallets. Goldie tells Scrooge that she wouldn't steal from children, and then lists all of exceptions. Scrooge though he heard cloven hooves from Goldie, and Goldie says that it was probably just his brittle bones settling. Flinheart then comes over and says that Goldie is his date, although Goldie denies this. A song starts to play, and Goldie hold out her hand to Scrooge. He takes it and the two make their way to the dance floor.

Goldie says that it's been a long time, and Scrooge says that it still hasn't been soon enough. Goldie says his tango is as rusty as his joints, and he quickly twirls and dips her. She says it wasn't bad, but the lady should lead. They continue to dance, as Goldie steals wallets, and Scrooge quickly returns them. He says that she looks younger since the last time he saw her, and Goldie says that she found a fountain of youth. She asks about him, and he says he got stuck in a demon dimension. Demogorgona where he had to stop a rebellion, which Goldie had started. She grabbed a necklace that made her impervious to burns and must have just missed him.

Scrooge asks what Goldie is up to, and Goldie asks why she always has to be up to something. Scrooge points out all the fires she's left behind her and she says that you can't start a fire without a spark. They're about to kiss, when Glomgold interrupts to unveil his latest addition to the museum. The monster of the Klondike. Scrooge recognizes it, as Goldie kills the light and steals its head.

Scrooge says they have to make it back to the mansion before Goldie and the boys make fun of Scrooge some more. Scrooge explains that he and Goldie were originally searching for the Golden Lagoon in the Klondike when she stole the map. It was ripped in two, and one half was stuck in the teeth of a wooly mammoth, while the other half was with Scrooge. They escaped but got frozen in the ice together for five years. They arrive back at the mansion, and the mammoth skull is in the front yard, a sign that she is there.

Fanon
Scroldie is a fairly popular ship in the DuckTales fandom. It is well liked by fans given the interesting dynamic between the two. Unlike most canon relationships in DuckTales, the two did know each other before the start of the show, so it's fun for fan fic and fan art writers to explore their dynamic from before the show. Many also enjoy exploring Goldie's relationship with Scrooge's family, as it is an unexplored dynamic in the series, aside from her apprenticing Louie for a short while.

On AO3, Scroldie is the most written ship for Goldie and Scrooge. It is also the fourth most written ship in the DuckTales (Cartoon 1987) tag and the seventh most written in the DuckTales (Cartoon 2017) tag.
