Madeline held her phone to her ear as it rang twice before her sister's voice came though. "She hasn't proposed yet, but I'm sure-"

"I'm engaged!" she said before she could stop herself. She didn't mean to interrupt but she was too giddy at the moment to care.

"What?"

"I-I'm engaged!" repeated the coach looking at the silver band on her finger "Jill just proposed like five minutes ago!" she giggled as she looked at her team tackled the albino on the ice.

"OH MY GOD DUDE! OH MY GOD! I HAVE TO TELL EVERYONE, I'LL CALL YOU BACK, LOVE YOU SIS OH MY GOD!" and with that, the phone call ended leaving the amused Canadian to silently laugh before hanging up as well and putting her phone away.

"Hey future Mrs. Beilshcmidt, come over here and join the fun!" shouted the albino as the kids yelled in agreement.

"Mrs. Beilshcmidt?" she asked with an amused smile and a raised eyebrow "what makes you think I'm taking your last name?"

"Well for starters I'm the awesome one" she grinned as Madeline glided gracefully through the ice towards them "and cuz I proposed."

Madeline stopped in front of the albino and gazed at her with challenging violet eyes. "How 'bout we decide with a game?"

"Go on" the albino said without a second thought. The team swarmed them with curiosity wanting to part of the game.

"One on one…winner keeps her name."

"Oh no birdie, you skate for a living. This is hardly fair" she crossed her arms and grinned "I say we let the team play. Master versus apprentice." The kids gasp and squealed with excitement as they awaited their coach's response.

All eyes were on Madeline as she thought. Her team was good but there was no way they could beat her, the bigger threat was Jill but even she didn't think it would make much of a difference. "Ok, you're on!"

oooooOOOOOooooo

"BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH" barked the American wrapping her arms around her stomach and struggling to keep herself standing "YOU- YOU- BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH" Madeline blew her hair out of her face with a puff as she waited for her sister to stop laughing so they could keep walking to the pet store. She was growing impatient as the lazy polar bear like dog (who was lazily licking her ring) was heavy to carry after a while and the gentle snow was piling on her head.

"Ok….ok Amelia I get it… now can you calm down and keep moving? Kumarie is heavier than she looks …and people are staring…" and indeed, people had dropped whatever they were doing in order to stare at the two sisters.

"I CANT BELIEVE YOU LOST TO A BUNCH OF LITTLE ONES AND JILL!" she said having calmed down and standing up straight. They sisters resumed their walk with Amelia in a much better mood and her sister with an angry pink face glad to be away from the spotlight the other created.

"It wasn't a fair game ok?"

"Really now?"

"They cheated…you try playing while kids held you down in place and you couldn't kick them off" she glared over her glasses and adjusted her grip on the puppy.

"It's your fault for holding back" Amelia grinned.

"I was going to let them win anyways." She said and the American looked at her with raised eyebrows. "Really I was! Though I'm not denying that they beat me, which is really embarrassing, I was planning on taking Jill's name…"

"Why?" she asked as they arrived at the store and entered though the sliding doors "you could have done that hyphenated thing or combined names! Dude do you realize how cool that would be?" Amelia practically yelled as they walked to the dog section to find a collar. "Like then your kids can combine names with whoever they marry and then as the generations go the names keep getting weirder and weirder!"

"Umm, yea I don't think combining 'Williams' and 'Beilshcmidt' would be the best idea…" she said gabbing hold of a red collar and bringing it closer to her. "But anyways there are too many people with the last name 'Williams' so I'd rather have a less common name.

"True…hey how 'bout this one?" said the American holding out a red, white, and blue studded collar.

"Ame I'm pretty sure that is for much bigger dogs" she said deciding to ignore the colors.

"Aww but I like it" she pouted putting it back. "OOH, OOH THIS ONE!" her sister shouted waving a light pink collar in the blonde's face "look it comes with a pink flower clip!"

Madeline took it in her hands and brought it close to her puppy's fur. "Yea ok, I like it."

Amelia lifted her hands up with a "YAS" as they moved on to look for a matching leash.

"So will you come with me to meet her?

"…I'm sorry what?" she asked confused at the change of conversation.

"Françoise Bonefoy…she is the best wedding planner in the city so naturally I'm going to her if I want to get a spot at the gardens" she said picking up the matching leash and walking the next isle to find a food and water bowl.

"The gardens?"

"Yea...it brings back childhood memories…"

"No, No I mean why would there be a fight for the spots?"

"I know its small, but it grew very popular over the years and i don't blame them, it's beautiful." Amelia stayed silent as she followed her sister behind.

Madeline glanced at her worriedly "What's wrong?" she asked, eyes growing wide "Oh, Ame… never mind…l-let's just drop it-"

"No, no I'm not mad! Not at you" she said walking in front.

"Ame what-"

"I just can't take this anymore! You know what? You were right!" she pointed at her sister making the other jump back slightly.

"I was?"

"I am gonna propose instead! There is no way she is getting rid of me!"

"That's great Ame-"

"In fact, I'm gonna go do it right now!" she said jogging past the blonde.

"Wait, but...Amelia!" she shouted jogging a bit after her "what about the ring!"

"Don't matter!" she shouted over her shoulder as she ran out the store "SHE ALREADY HAS ONE!"

Madeline stood in front of the glass doors wondering what had happened. She shook her head and sighed deciding to leave her at it while she finished shopping.

Amelia ran though the busy streets trying and failing at evading the peaceful walkers. She didn't stop not even when the book store came into view and not even when she ran into the door trying to open it causing in a pile of snow to fall on her head from the sign above. Inside she looked for the familiar blonde and ran once again to where the British, pig tailed woman was putting books back in place.

"WILL YOU JUST MARRY ME ALREADY?" she yelled as she stopped in front of her. With her stamina coming to an end, she held on to her knees and took steady breaths as the snow melted and dripped from her clothes and hair making a small puddle on the floor.

"If I say yes will you stop yelling in the shop?" one of Alice's coworkers said nearby with a glare towards the American.

The blonde sighed and adjusted her glasses "Amelia…"

"I mean…isn't that what you want? Cuz I know I do! I saw the tiffany box in the closet!" she said walking closer to the smaller woman. Alice crossed her arms and sighed looking intently at her. They stayed silent for a few seconds before Amelia opened her mouth again "It…it's not a ring…is it? If it's a keychain…I'm gonna kill myself…and I'm taking you with me…"

The Brit closed her eyes and giggled lightly. "You really are the most obnoxious, aggravating, perfect bloody American aren't you?" Amelia tilter her head to the side and lifted her shoulders in agreement "You know if you had just waited a bit…well then you wouldn't be the one I fell in love with since she doesn't know how to wait…" she grabbed the small box from her purse and took out the gold band with a perfectly cut diamond.

"So Amelia?" she asked and Amelia nodded "Will you marry me?"

The American giggled and bounced "Really? This is so out of nowhere-"

"Yes or no you brat?"

"YES, YES!" she yelled capturing the smaller blonde in a kiss. She pulled back but didn't release her as she intended to break her spine in a hug.

"Amelia, stop it! You're getting me all wet!"

"Of course I am" she said with a wink.

"You bloody moron that's not what I meant!" the American laughed as the other's face turned darker and darker.

oooooOOOOOooooo

And that's what brought these two brides to me the next day. They were walking arm in arm once again though the crowded streets as they discussed their future weddings. They both had the most important details figured out by now…or at least completely unrealistic and impossible wedding scenarios but it was fun regardless. As they arrived at the gate Madeline lagged behind for a second before being pulled in by the other.

"No, no, no don't do that, not now, c'mon lets go." They walked in taking in their surroundings and stopped at the front desk where a small plump woman sat behind a computer with a bored expression on her face.

"Hey! We're Françoise's two o' clock" announced Amelia making the woman look over her glasses, bored expression never leaving her face. "We're both getting married and were both each other's maid of honor!"

The woman blinked slowly "no way…that's incredible…" she said sarcastically "she will see you now."

Amelia frowned and was about to pick a fight with, as she called her later, the fat toad but Madeline dragger her away with a small "thank you" before she could open her mouth. They walked thought the intricate looking doors and where immediately greeted with a, beautiful and sophisticated looking woman sitting on her desk with her legs crossed and a cup of whine resting delicately on her hand. Who is this woman that radiated elegance and refinement…oh that's right! It is none other than moi.

"Ah bonjour! Please sit down, sit down" I said getting off my desk and walking behind it to take a seat behind my laptop. The sisters sat down as well and we proceeded.

"So I know all about your requests…" I said and the sisters smiled "weddings at the gardens…in the middle of spring…when the flowers are at full bloom" I laughed lightly.

"So, you're saying that it isn't a remote possibility?" asked the Canadian.

"If you had gone elsewhere…not a chance, but…luckily you came to me!" I opened my laptop and began typing as the sisters held their breath. "I happen to have…three openings… two on the fourth… one on the twenty-seventh…"

"Oh my gosh it's so meant to be! I can get married on the fourth and it can totally be like the fourth of July!" Amelia exclaimed punching the air.

"It won't be July tho-" Madeline began but stopped herself knowing she would go ignored either way "I-I'll take the twenty-seventh then…"

"Great!" I smiled at them "do you want to discuss this with your partners?"

"No" the two said in unison returning the smile. We continued with the appointment until we got everything we needed and eventually they headed back with smiling faces.

The two sisters walked back arm in arm with grins plastered on their faces. They walked silently trying not to cause a scene but were unable to contain themselves for much longer when they finally erupted into a mash of giggles and happy squeals.

oooooOOOOOooooo

"…Yes, as soon as practice is over"

"YAAAS, IM GONNA BE A MOTHERFUCKING PRINCESS!"

"I'm sure. Bye Ame!"

"LATER!"

Madeline hung up her phone and threw it inside her bag getting her skates on her feet. She smiled as she did the simple task and hummed a simple tune to herself. She finished and as she stood up two girls approached her.

"Coach are you gonna go pick your dress today?" one of them asked.

"Yes, how did you know" she smiled at them.

"That lady you were talking to was really loud."

Madeline giggled "yes that was my sister. She is also getting married and we are both going to pick our dresses after practice."

The girls' eyes lit up with excitement "I bet you're gonna look really pretty!"

"Yea, like a princess!" They both giggled and Madeline couldn't help but smile at the echoed words. As the three headed back to the ring the girls continued asking questions which she happily replied. "Is Jill going to wear a dress too?"

"No, she wants to wear a suit." The Canadian laughed as she remembered the conversation they had where Jillian said that a suit would be so much more awesome than a dress. 'Besides I don't want to take attention away from your beauty…' she remembered her saying as well making her blush lightly.

The girls went on ahead into the ice but Madeline trailed behind when she heard the door open again. A small blonde boy walked in with his head low looking defeated. Madeline skated back and walked up to the boy who sat on the bench slowly putting his skates on his feet.

"Hello Mathew!" she said with a smile "we missed you at practice on Friday."

The boy returned his gaze to his skates "I'm sorry…" he said in a small voice and Madeline frowned.

"Is everything alright?" she asked sitting down next to him "You haven't been behaving like usual…" Mathew didn't answer and he didn't turn to look at her.

"Look…I'm your coach so you can tell me if something is bothering you ok?"

"…D-do I have to tell you right now?" he asked still staring at the ground.

"Not if you don't want to…" she said softly. Mathew lifted his head and Madeline offered a smile. He nodded and stood up.

"Umm…coach…I heard that Miss Barginski was looking for you…"

Madeline's eye twitched as she tried to keep smiling. "Was she now?" Mathew nodded and walked off leaving Madeline hoping the Russian wouldn't come looking for her. However as soon as she stood up the glass doors opened and a tall platinum haired woman walked in.

"Madeline there you are!" said the woman happily skipping over to the small Canadian.

"Anaya, hi!" she said looking for an escape route. "Sorry but practice is about to star so-"

"I won't take long I just have a favor to ask you, da?" She smiled and Madeline returned it holding back a scream.

"My dear brother is home sick and won't be able to come to work tomorrow so he asked me to take his place but unfortunately I can't deal with beginners so you have to do it for me!"

Madeline held back another scream as her eye twitched again. "Umm Anaya I don't know a thing about figure skating I mean, I twirl around sometimes but…"

"Don't worry they're beginners. You just have to teach them how to stay on the ice and not split their heads open."

"Yea actually…I'm already doing your family events this and next week, and coaching your team after mine...and locking down on your shift this month…"

"I know I do so much…" she said with a sigh "ok don't worry I'll teach my brother's class…" Madeline sighed with relief "if you take my skating classes for the rest of the year ok?"

Madeline twitched again "yea I don't-" but was unheard as the Russian walked away.

"You owe me!"

Madeline stood still looking at the now closed door with a strained smile on her face and slowly breathing in and out. "One…two...three…four…" she counted as she turned around and walked back into the ice.
