Basketone is the non-binary ship between Basketball and One from the Battle for Dream Island fandom.
Canon[]
Bomby and Bell are huddled together behind a bush, confronted by One. Bell asks who she is, and One suggests they get to know each other before teleporting the three of them elsewhere. Unbeknownst to One, Basketball saw everything and was confused about what she had just witnessed. Basketball approaches TV and Tennis Ball, sharing that she spotted Bomby and Bell. However, TV avoids interacting with her, as he was too scared to be around her after what happened with Robot Flower. Understanding his reluctance, Basketball then mentions seeing One, but Tennis Ball interrupts and goes on to talk about TV's perception of zeros and ones. Basketball gets frustrated at the misunderstanding. One is taking a stroll in the forest as Basketball follows, who is questioning her intentions. One pulls out a list of names, with all of them being ticked off, before greeting Basketball and asking her to chat. Basketball tries to refuse, but One ignores her and teleports both of them elsewhere.
Basketball starts yelling at One questioning what she wants from her. One replies with what Basketball wants for her problems to go away. She then summons a mini figure of Robot Flower on the table near the chair that Basketball is sitting on, offering her a deal to fix Robot Flower. Basketball claims that she does not know who One is, and One shows a TV of Basketball in the previous episode. One watches the scene unfold and turns to Basketball, casually remarking that she could make Robot Flower even deadlier and dangerous if she wanted to. Basketball, unimpressed, questions why making a deal with One would even matter, pointing out that if One has all this power, she should just fix Robot Flower herself. One admits she has power, but it's not enough. She then glances at a sleeping Two on the TV screen, where a countdown of 100 seconds suddenly appears. One warns Basketball, to hurry up unless she wants to end up like Bell and Bomby. The screen shifts to reveal Needle and Barf Bag in an unknown location, visibly terrified, leaving Basketball stunned. Meanwhile, in One's room, the countdown on the screen ticks down to just 5 seconds. Feeling the pressure, Basketball agrees to accept One's deal in exchange for bringing back Robot Flower. One, pleased, hands Basketball a contract to sign. Back in Tennis Ball's room, Robot Flower awakens, surprising both Tennis Ball and Fanny. One tells Basketball to leave, but when Basketball asks if the storm will be ended, One reveals she has changed her mind, much to Basketball's frustration. Basketball is teleported away before she can respond.
Fanon[]
The ship is already pretty popular with the fandom, with some even making edits of the two already. The two's ship started in TPOT 12 with some people shipping it, while others not so much because they had interacted 3 times, with two of them not even being directly towards One. With TPOT 13, Category One coming out, people have started to ship it more due to the very passive-aggressive vibe One gives towards Basketball, with some of her lines feeling quite friendly while others are straight up manipulative. People also just generally love the two's interactions because of One's behavior during their scenes together. Their rival ships are Fanone, 12 and Iceone.
