"Welcome to the first ever hosting of the Mario and Sonic Olympic Winter Games!" The two teams walked out to the platform. The crowd went wild, each person cheering for his or her team. An announcer walked up to the microphone in front of the two teams signaling for everyone to be quiet. "Wow I have to say these two teams have some great athletes am I right?" The crowd roared in agreement. "Alright let's start introducing our contenders!" The announcer walked over to the Mario Team. "Now each person is going to state his or her name and what sports they'll be competing in."

"Tails, individual large hill and curling."

"Silver, ice hockey and curling."

The announcer walked back to the microphone. "There you have it folks. Now while the teams go have their opening day party let's go have a party of our own!" With that the music was turned up and the teams went into their separate limos to go get ready for the party. Each team had their own hotel. The party was being held at Team Mario's hotel in the ballroom. Everyone was to dress formal.

Amy Rose and Cream The Rabbit were getting ready in the room they shared. "How do I look?" Amy asked Cream when she walked out of the bathroom. Cream's jaw dropped open. Amy was wearing a simple black strapless dress with a white band around her waist that reached just below her knees, black high heels, and a white headband. "Wow Amy!" Cream squealed. "You look so pretty!"

Amy blushed, "thanks Cream. So do you."

Cream wore a yellow evening gown with a V-neck lace hemline. The girls headed to the limo with the rest of their team. Sonic was coming down the stairs when he spotted Amy. "Wow." He said breathless. She looked so beautiful. He was so mesmerized in her beauty he didn't hear Tails and Knuckles running down the stairway. *CRASH* All three went rolling down the stairs. The rest of the team gasped and burst out laughing at the three clumsy friends. Rouge, Cream, and Amy went to help them. "Oh my gosh Sonic are you okay?" Amy asked as she helped him up. "Y-yeah I'm okay." He stuttered and started walking away. "Wait a sec!" Amy said grabbing his arm. You can't go to the party looking like that!" She started fixing his messed up quills and straightened his bowtie. The whole time Sonic was as red as a tomato. "There." Amy said when she finished. "Thanks Ames." Sonic grinned and took her hand, "let's go."

Sonic led her out to the limo, Tails and Knuckles wanted him to sit by them so he reluctantly agreed. Amy sat by Silver and Shadow. She could feel someone's gaze on her, she looked and met a pair of emerald eyes from the other seat. Sonic looked away, a hint of pink on his muzzle. Amy wondered why Sonic kept looking at her. He couldn't have feelings for her could he? Amy smiled at the thought.

Finally the limo reached the other hotel. The team got out and walked towards the ballroom. Knuckles and Tails fell in step with Sonic who was behind Amy. "We saw you staring at her." Tails whispered. Sonic tried to come up with a good excuse, he didn't have one so he lied. "I was not!" He exclaimed. "Oh yes you were." Knuckles said, "you were watching her with the same stupid grin on your face the whole ride here!" Sonic knew he couldn't get out of this one. "Alright, alright she just, um, looks really pretty okay?" Knuckles snickered, "aww does blue boy have feelings for Amy?

That's so cute." Sonic punched him in the gut, which just made the two guys laugh even harder. "You guys are so stupid." Sonic muttered and went to talk to Amy.

"Sonic and Amy sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Knuckles and Tails said in unison. They were laughing so hard tears were cascading down their cheeks. Sonic sighed and rolled his eyes. He couldn't have feelings for her. Could he?

"Hey Sonic are you okay?" Amy asked. Sonic had spaced out while pondering this new revelation. "Huh? Oh yeah I'm fine Ames." She smiled at him. They had reached the ballroom. Amy said she'd talk to him later and went to mingle with the other team. Sonic went to strangle Knuckles and Tails. "Can't you guys shut up?" Sonic hissed. "She probably heard you."

"Well that was kinda the point stupid." Knuckles said. Sonic's hand twitched. He sooo wanted to punch him right now. But as fate would have it Rouge came and took Knuckles to the dance floor. Sonic thought that was way worse than a punch ever would be.

"A slow song is going on next I'm going to go ask Cream to dance. You should ask Amy." Tails said and walked away. Sonic scanned the room trying to find Amy. He saw her talking with Bowser Jr. from the other team. He took a deep breath, "calm down Sonic. It's only a dance." With that he confidently walked over to Amy, only to lose his cool right when he looked into her eyes. "Hi… Amy, um, w-would, would you like t-to dance with me?" Amy smiled, "sure Sonic."

He led her onto the dance floor. Sure enough a slow song came on. It was Only You Can Love Me This Way by Keith Urban. Sonic put his arms around her waist. Amy put her arms around his neck. They started dancing slowly in a circle.

*Well I know there's a reason. And I know there' s a rhyme*

Sonic twirled her around a couple times.

*We were meant to be together, that's why"

Amy put her head on Sonic's chest.

*We can roll with the punches. We can stroll hand in hand*

He put his head on top of hers smiling softly, loving the moment.

*And when I say it's forever, you understand*

The other dancers twirled gracefully around the couple.

*That you're always in my heart. You're always on my mind. And when it all becomes too much, you're never far behind*

He realized that she's always there for him, the pink hedgehog looked up into his eyes.

*And there's no one that comes close to you, could ever take your place. Cause only you can love me this way*

He stared down at her lovingly, getting lost in her eyes.

*I could've turned a different corner. I could've gone another place. Then I'd never have this feeling, that I feel today.*

He knew this was where he wanted to be. Holding the most perfect girl in his arms.

*And you're always in my heart. You're always in my mind. When it all becomes too much, you're never far behind*

She loved having his arms around her. She knew he was the only guy for her.

*And there's no one that comes close to you, could ever take your place. Cause only you can love me this way*

He knew she was the only girl for him too.

*And you're always in my heart. You're always on my mind. And when it all becomes too much, you're never far behind*

He'd do anything for her, and always protect her.

*And there's no one that comes close to you, could ever take you're place. Cause only you can love me this way*

He loved her.

*Only you can love me this way*

She loved him.

The song ended and the couple broke apart. They looked in each others eyes and liked what they saw. They both loved each other. Rouge and Knuckles had to drag the couple to their seats when the announcer walked up to the podium. "Welcome to the first ever Mario and Sonic Olympic Winter Games! Before you all go I just want to wish you good luck! I can see the competition is tough. One other thing I need to address. Amy Rose needs a figure skating partner for a duet in the program. Any men on the Sonic team want to do it?"

Sonic stood up, "I will." And smiled down at Amy. She beamed right back.

"All right then. Well again good look teams! See you tomorrow for the first day of training!"

The teams were dismissed and headed back to their limos. Knuckles grabbed Sonic's arm on the way out with a smirk on his face. "You love her don't you?" Sonic blushed, "yeah I do."

"I knew it!" Knuckles said and went to tell Tails. Sonic rolled his eyes and went to find Amy. She was in the limo talking with Cream. There was am empty seat next to her so he took it. "Hey," he said as he slid in next to her. "Hey." She smiled and took his hand. The rest of the team got in and they headed back to the hotel. Sonic stared at his beautiful rose the whole way back. When it was time to head their separate ways Sonic took her in his arms and kissed her passionately. Amy broke the kiss and whispered, "I love you." He gave her a hug, "I love you too Ames. See you tomorrow."

"Kay."

With that the pair went to their rooms, sure that they were going to dream about each other that night.
