Gattwo is the friendship between Gaty and Two from the Battle for Dream Island fandom.

Canon
Gaty is unable to hear what Two is saying while on the roof of the hotel. When Two announces that her team is safe from the challenge, Gaty sighs in relief. She is later among the many contestants yelling at Two for not hearing the extra rule.

Gaty questions Two on how long the season's voting system has been in place. Two explains since last episode and is midly annoyed for being interrupted. Gaty apologizes and Two lightheartedly tells her not to worry. She reminds Two to announce the next person safe for Cake at Stake. After the ceremony, Gaty explains to Two how the intro is their last piece of free-time before the contest starts. When Two begins the contest, everyone except Gaty runs to their respective teams' stacks. She questions why Two set the timer to 25 minutes rather than the standard 30. As Two answers that they do indeed find it weird, they sit down to chat and Gaty provides her theories as to why. When Pin walks over to Two regarding the challenge, she finds that Gaty and Two have brought a couch from the hotel as they continue to talk. Gaty explains how Two is different from the numbers that aren't alive. Two finds it inconvenient that they and the non-sentient symbols are both referred to as numbers, comparing it to if they were called "girls". As the challenge progresses, their conversation has shifted into Two trying to find their identity. Two says they like being green and a number and as Gaty states she likes being periwinkle and a girl, she runs into trouble understanding Two's point. Two explains that almost everything they are is something that others have told them to be. Two vents about the frustration they have with math as they don't get anything out of it. Gaty understands their view as she compares it to her being able to decide herself being periwinkle and a girl. Two wants to know how they can find more self-found abilities like Gaty's and suddenly remembers that they willingly chose to be the host for the competition. Now noticing Pin's presence, Two is startled that she was beside them and Gaty. As Pin and Gaty explain how they find it unfair that her team is using glue to keep their block stack together, Two is confused on both the fact that glue is not as harmful to objects as it is to numbers, but also how they're yelling against their own team. Gaty realizes this and decides to stop but wants to help Pin on approaching it with her team. She bids farewell to Two as they happily wave back.

As Two is about to review Team8s' restaurant, Gaty tells them they're sure to enjoy the restaurant they created. Two compliments her passion and pats her, slightly pained by the point of her spike. Gaty is startled when Two later announces that they're one of the two teams to be up for elimination.

Gaty calls Two's burritoes impressive as they describe their personalities. She smiles as Two hands her a burrito for surviving the Cake at Stake ceremony.

For the meal challenge, Gaty shares with her team that she knows Two very well and interprets the challenge as turning Two into dinner. She thinks of putting Two in a soup and the rest of the team follows through with the idea. During a montage, Gaty tries to get Four to capture Two by zapping them, only for Two to unknowingly knock Four away in the process. When it's time for Two to review each team's meal, Team8s trap Two between two pieces of bread. Gaty chuckles and calls them a Two sandwich, causing Two to burst into laughter and give their team a high score.

To fix the balance beam for the challenge, Donut turns to Gaty because of her expertise in Two. When Two later comes to review their repairment, they state how the beam is skewed. Gaty argues that it's a better balance beam as the angle provides more of a challenge. She puts Two on the beam to demonstrate, who enjoys the extra challenge as a result of the slope.

After a rough talk with Winner, Two and Gaty sit together on a couch outside as they express to Gaty their confusion on Winner's anger. Two states how they wanted to help Clock out by talking to Winner about it. Gaty compares the situation to how she respects Book's ability to leave her alone when she initially asked her to. She brings up how distance helped Two with Four and suggests that they not get involved with them. Gaty tells Two not to rush their conclusion and that Clock and Winner will eventually resettle their differences. When Robot Flower lights Basketball on fire in front of them, Two screams and Gaty runs off out of fear.

Fanon
Gaty and Two's bond has been praised in the Battle for Dream Island fandom. Many fans have found it surprising but cute that Two has been able to have such a strong bond with one of their competitors. The scenes of Gaty acting as a therapist towards Two in the second episode of the season first sparked interest in the duo. Further excitement ensued when this idea was resurrected for the eighth episode as Two immediately turned to Gaty to vent out their feelings. Their bond is often labeled as queer platonic by fans and is shipped as such. Most of the fandom regards ships between hosts and contestants as a problematic power dynamic, but Gaty and Two's friendship is a common exception.

Their relationship tag has 11 works on AO3. It is the second most written ship for both Gaty and Two on the site, the most for Gaty being with Saw and the most for Two being with Four.
