Scottley

Scottley is the het between Scott Denoga and Hailey Banks from Hailey's On It! fandom.

Early History
Hailey Banks and Scott Denoga first met during childhood and have been Best Friends ever since. They have been next door neighbors almost their whole lives. In third grade, Hailey ate all of Scott’s Halloween candy and lied about it by blaming it on burglars. In fifth grade, Hailey started developing feelings for Scott because she though he was "cute" when he tries a new hair gel before it got recalled for attracting bears. Then Hailey wrote on her bucket list "Kiss Scott Denoga" and claims she wrote it as a joke when in reality she secretly wants to kiss him.

Season One
In "The Beginning of the Friend", Scott and Hailey are seen riding a bicycle together, where Hailey introduces Scott as her best friend through a voice over. Scott and Hailey are later shown on a roof celebrating New Year's and discussing their New Year's Resolutions. After Hailey states hers, Scott puts a hand on her shoulder and comments on how he finds it to be awesome and how he believes in her. Later, the Professor from the future reveals that Hailey must complete everything on her list, including kissing Scott. Hailey is shocked by this and quickly claims that she wrote that list item as a joke. She tells the Professor that she doesn't have romantic feelings for Scott. After the Professor returns to the future, Hailey reveals to Scott that she is going to save the world and needs to complete every item on her list to do so. However, she purposely doesn't mention the kiss that is required to happen. Later in the episode, Hailey confesses her feelings towards Scott to Beta. Scott and Hailey go to the carnival together and need to ride the Tunnel of Love to complete one of Hailey's list items. During the ride Hailey decides to try and kiss Scott, but vomits instead.

In "Beta'd and Hooked" Hailey is seen kissing her pillow in her sleep, dreaming that the pillow is Scott.

In "The Show Must Go Wrong", Hailey has to step in as an understudy for Scott's girlfriend, Kristine, in the school musical. Hailey and Scott end up singing a romantic duet together.

In "Road Trippin", Scott, Hailey, and Kristine take a bus trip to Flagstaff, Arizona. There Kristine admits to Hailey that she's jealous of the relationship that Hailey has with Scott. She wishes that she was that close with him. Later in the episode, when discussing what to give Scott for their 45 day anniversary, Hailey gives Kristine a rare baseball card she had been saving for Scott's birthday. Kristine gives him the card, and he loves it. However, he later admits to Hailey that he knows she gave the card to Kristine to give to him, and thanks her for it.

In "Seas the Day", Scott is upset because Kristine dumped him to go on a hat-themed reality TV show. Hailey tries to improve his mood, but nothing seems to work. Beta suggests that she take him to a romantic restaurant and confess her feelings to him. Hailey, a bit reluctantly, agrees. Beta prepares a special cake with a confession from Hailey written out in the frosting. Just before the cake is wheeled out, Hailey gets a phone call from Kristine. She talks about how sad she is without Scott, and when Hailey says that "someone" might be trying to swoop in on Scott, Kristine freaks out. She asks Hailey to look out for Scott and make sure that no one else tries to date him. Hailey, knowing that Beta is about to confess for her, panics. She doesn't want to lose Kristine's friendship, so she jumps on the cake before Scott can read it. The pair are forcibly removed from the restaurant and banned for life.

In "Kissed Opportunities", Hailey tries to arrange a "cool" party. When one of the partygoers suggests a game that involves kissing, Hailey jumps at the opportunity. She works with Beta to rig the game so that she'll get the Kiss Card and have to kiss Scott, easily checking off the list item without any feelings behind it. However, as Hailey goes in for the kiss, she realizes that she doesn't want her first kiss with Scott to be meaningless. She calls it off before they can actually kiss, and all the other partygoers are relieved as none of them wanted to continue playing the game anyways.

Hailey and Scott's relationship is currently the entire basis for the show. Hailey's ability to save the world is dependent upon her ability to face her feelings for Scott. Hailey and Scott have a long history with each other, and know each other better than anyone else does. They are incredibly close, and do nearly everything together. It is implied in the first episode of the show that Scott may have romantic feelings for Hailey as well, but he quickly enters a relationship with Kristine by the episode's end.

A-maize-ing Maze
Hailey: Hi Scott. I'm sorry I ditched you today. Because now I realize I like getting lost in mazes with you. I like being with you all the time. With your goofy smile and the way you think you can talk to centipedes. I like you, Scott. Like, full-on like you. I even wrote down that I wanted to kiss you on my list. I just needed you to know that. And also, I was the one who ate all your Halloween candy in the third grade and blamed it on burglars. Whew. Goodbye, Scott.

Fanon
Scottley is the most popular ship in Hailey's On It. Some compare it to another popular Disney Channel ship, Starco, due to them both fitting the trope. It also has many similarities to K/R, with both being a Friends to Lovers ship. Scottley's relationship is incredibly important to the plot of the show, even being referenced in the theme song. ("Kiss my friend Scott?" is one of the lyrics). Although the show, and therefore the ship, are relatively new, they have already gained a number of fans. About half of the Hailey's On It fics on AO3 are Scottley fics. It is currently rivaled by the ship between Hailey and Scott's younger sister, Becker.

AIPT: One of the bigger things on Hailey’s list is kissing her best friend, Scott. How does that affect their relationship throughout the course of the season? You know Scott comes off as happy go lucky and maybe sometimes oblivious to things.

Nick Stanton: We thought it’d be interesting to do a kid’s show where the relationship is sort of like Jim and Pam in the first season of The Office. Their best friends who might become more than friends. It’s kind of a sophisticated idea for a kid’s show but we thought kids would really relate to it. Their relationship, without spoiling anything, really does evolve even throughout the course of the first season. It’s not a series that resets every episode.

Obviously, in the first episode, Scott starts dating Kristine and that complicates the relationship. But in some future episodes, Scott and Hailey’s relationship takes some different turns. That’s been really fun because it’s almost like writing for a new show when the relationship dynamic changes. We were really excited to do that and grow the characters and grow that relationship between Hailey and Scott.
