This article lists the interactions between Golf Ball and Tennis Ball.
Throughout the series, Golf Ball and Tennis Ball maintain a friendship. Golf Ball usually pursues her own ideas and ventures, while Tennis Ball aids and abets.
Early in the series, characters such as Coiny would suggest and tease the two that they had a "romantic" relationship, but as the series passed its first episode, any allusions to such an idea quickly disappeared. However, the concept resurfaced in "Don't Dig Straight Down", when Tennis Ball thought that Golf Ball was flirting with him while iance was attempting to escape the lava.
