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 lights 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 in the past, 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. Scrooge thinks that Goldie attended the gala because she wanted steal the the map.

Arriving at McDuck Manor, Scrooge enters his room. He finds that Goldie already arrived earlier. She even manage to tie up Ms. Beakley and Webby into a wardrobe. Goldie realizes that Scrooge’s top hat she’s wearing is where he hid the other half of the map. They both fight over the hat and Goldie manage to take the map, but Scrooge quickly takes it and puts it back in his hat. Goldie offers Scrooge to team up to find the Golden Lagoon again knowing they now have both halves of the map, he reluctantly agrees.

Happy Birthday, Doofus Drake!
Scrooge feels that there is something off in the mansion and searches the whole place but can't find anything. He returns to his office, only to find Goldie there. He asks what she's doing there, and Louie comes in and says that she's with him. Scrooge demands to know why and Louie says that he wants to learn how to make money the easy way from her. Goldie looks around the house, and Scrooge blocks her from possibly taking anything in her path. He tells Louie not to let her get to close, and Louie says he can handle this.

Louie is upset on the stairs and Scrooge at first assumes it's a con, before Louie just says that it was Goldie. Scrooge understands and would say he'll get used to it, but it'd be a lie. Louie thought they formed a connection, but Scrooge says that when you spend so much time looking for an angle, it's hard to see what's right in front of you, which doesn't make her too smart. Louie asked why she saved him then and Scrooge suggests that she might have let Louie get too close too.
