Amy Rose let out a nervous sigh and rested her hands on her knees. In a few minutes, it'll be her and Mario's turn to wow the judges with the ice skating event. She just hopes everything will turn out the way her and Mario planned.
She glanced over to Mario, who was sitting quietly and politely. She had hoped that she would've been partners with Sonic, but, sadly she didn't. Which annoyed her greatly. Mario didn't complain, he never complains. He just nodded and walked off. She was reluctant to train with Mario, But he didn't look reluctant. He just accepted it and worked with it. It seems as though Mario didn't have one assertive cell in his body.
Amy was lost in her thoughts when Mario tapped her shoulder. The pink hedgehog looked up to see Mario standing in front of her, holding out a gloved hand.
"It's-a our turn," Was all he said. Amy quickly looked out on the ice to see that colored lights zoomed all across the rink to announce Mario and Amy's arrival. "Thanks," Amy said as she grabbed his hand and pulled herself up.
Amy and Mario skated into the middle of the rink, Mario nodded to Amy to start they're routine. She nodded back and she started.
Amy skated elegantly and slowly as Mario circled her. Just then, Amy dashed out of Mario's circle and jumped, twist, and landed as the crowd cheered. Mario skated in as he backward-skated around Amy, and did and a flip over her. More cheers.
Then, Mario and Amy held hands and skated fast around the rink. When they slowed down, Amy almost slipped and fall, if it wasn't for Mario pulling her up. She mouthed, thank you and he just nodded. Mario and Amy held both of each others hands and Mario started spinning her, ring-around-the-rosy style.
Mario then let go of her, and she was launched into the air. They've been practicing this move for a month, only a few times they succeeded. Amy wasn't going to mess this up, so she spun in the air and landed low on one leg. Mario then skated furiously fast at her, and squatted down quickly just as Amy flipped over him.
The crowd cheered when Amy landed, And she smiled at the crowd. Her and Mario's turn was over, and she and Mario headed towards the door they came from.
CUT
A sweaty Amy sat down on the bench and breathed heavily, a look of triumph on her face. She looked up to Mario, who was dabbing his sweaty forehead with a towel. Amy then said, "thanks again, Mario. For, you know, saving me out there,"
Mario then nodded, and replied, "Anytime," And headed towards the exit.
