Zelgadis vs the Internet: Polling Theme: Modern AU Rating/Warnings: K Words: 699 Summary: While Zelgadis is browsing the internet, he comes across a poll that shakes his core and Amelia tries to help.

It happened to be one of those days where Zelgadis was mindlessly browsing the internet. He was doing some of his normal activities with several tabs opened. Many were for watching videos and there were a couple for checking his friends’ blogs. In all honesty, he found the social media aspect to be a pain. Still, it wasn’t like he didn’t have his own, but he didn’t do much with it.

While checking up on the latest posts, he decided on a whim to search himself, just for curiosity’s sake. He soon typed in his name and hit enter, seeing an alarming number of results that were about him. The top post was, surprisingly, a poll. Like one of those weird random polls that seemed to pop up from users who had nothing better to do. After scanning through, he saw that he was somehow one of the options for this poll. And to add even more insult to injury, he was losing. Badly.

As he entered a state of a sudden mental breakdown, Amelia popped up right beside him. “Hello, mister Zelgadis! What’s ya doing?” She didn’t get a response from him, which made her worried a bit. So, she poked him a couple of times until he snapped out of it.

“Huh?!” Zelgadis jumped, looking over at Amelia. “Oh, hey, Amelia.”

“Hello again, Mister Zelgadis. I asked what you were doing?”

“Well, I decided to see if there were any posts of me on social media and found this dumb poll. Also, I’m losing,” he answered, his head drooping a bit.

“What?!” Amelia exclaimed, causing Zelgadis to fall out of his seat. “How can this be?! To think that people would not vote for the most coolest person in the entire world! I swear, by the shining stars of Justice, that I will right this horrible wrong!”

“It’s fine, Amelia. It’s not like I care about something like that,” he lied as he deep down did care.

She then glanced over at him with a curious glint in her eye. “What is this poll about anyway?”

“I’m… not sure.” Zelgadis took a look at the post again, carefully reading what it was about. “… It says, ‘Best Coolest Dork Blorbo’.”

“… What’s a blorbo?”

“Beats me.” Zelgadis sighed. Maybe it was for the best anyway. He definitely knew he wasn’t a dork and blorbo could have been something along those lines. Still, he couldn’t help but be in an anxious state of low self-esteem, something that Amelia had noticed very well.

After pondering a way to get him out of his forlorn mood, she then asked him, “Um, mister Zelgadis, do you mind if I use one of the pictures I have of you?”

“Sure, why not,” he replied in a despairing tone. She then skirted off to the side, leaving him to wallow in self-pity. After some time, Zelgadis decided to check that poll again, to see how poor he was doing. To his surprise, he saw that he had a few more votes than before but was also gaining a lead.

He soon turned to Amelia, staring at her fidgeting form with an eyebrow. “Amelia, did you do something?”

She looked back at him, letting out a forced chuckle. “Well… Since it seemed unfair to be that far behind, I decided to vote for you. I also asked my online friends if they could vote too and showed them a neat pic of you.”

“Oh, really?” he said, his tone becoming increasingly gruffer.

Sensing his irritation, she stared with big emotional eyes. "Was that too much?”

“No! it’s fine,” he said, peddling back a bit. He then glanced away, rubbing the back of his head. “I’m just amaze you did this.”

“Of course! You’re my favorite blorbo… Whatever that means,” Amelia said before giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. His face turned red, stunned by the whole gesture. Still, a part of him was glad that she would be there, no matter how miniscule.

It was only a few seconds later that Zelgadis then had a realization. “Wait… What picture did you use?” Amelia soon became flustered, inching herself away as he stared.
