Dragonfruit

Dragonfruit is the het ship between Mei and Red Son from the Lego Monkie Kid fandom.

Canon
Mei initially mistook Red Son for MK's friend when she saw Red Son chasing MK, believing they were racing and suggested to MK that he should invite Red Son to play Monkey Mech with them. However, MK replied that Red Son tried to kill him, prompting Mei to half-jokingly ask MK where Red Son lives so that she could nuke him. When MK's team believed MK had been killed, a furious Mei insisted on fighting Red Son herself.

Mei is at first distrustful of Red Son after he shows up on the Team Dronecopter and tackles him along with Pigsy and a reluctant Sandy, but slowly calms down after Red Son reveals that the reason he came to them was because his father was trapped by the Spider Queen. After MK makes the decision to let him help them defeat the Spider Queen, she reluctantly agrees.

When Red Son brings them to the Celestial Realm to get the ingredients they needed for the antidote, Mei teased Red Son and refuses to let him go after the Immortal Peach on his own, he is condescending to her, so she bites him. Once they are in Heaven, the team is divided into groups, with Mei paired up with Red Son. While looking for a peach, Mei reminded Red Son of when he helped MK defeat his father, making him angry and defensive. Mei then jokes that since he was helping them now, he was a hero. Red Son then makes a note to put her on his hit list. She and Red Son are both angered when Strong Spider insinuates that they are in a romantic relationship. While the team fought against the Spider Queen, Red Son attempted to protect Mei but it only ended up in both of them captured. When DBK frees his son from the cocoon Spider Queen wrapped him in, Red Son in turn frees Mei. When Mei tells his father about how Red Son acted "like a real hero", he yells at her before teleporting himself and his father away.

Fanon
Dragonfruit is one of the most popular het ships in the fandom. People seem to like the enemy to lovers trope. Many people like to draw Mei and Redson with Redson being a tsundere and Mei being very, very tolerant, finding his antics cute. This ship seemed to become a bit more popular in season 3, as Redson and Mei had more screentime. People freaked out by the last Dragonfruit frame in the Season 3 finale, which shows the two cuddling. People like to headcanon Mei as non-binary and headcanon Redson as genderfluid. Some people like to ship Mei and Redson with MK, as a olyamorous

ship.
