"We are live at the National Aquatics Center, ready to witness the aquatics event" Gary said to the viewers. "And let me tell you, things are definitely going to get wet!"

"Let us see who will win this time" E-08 beeped.

-

The first event in this course is 4x100 Freestyle. There are two teams consisting of four players on each team. One player will swim to the end of the pool and back, and then the next teammate will take their turn. The team that has all players swim one hundred meters first will win. Team Mario will bring out Mario, Luigi, Bowser, and Peach while Team Sonic will use Tails, Vector, Amy, and Blaze.

Mario and Tails prepared themselves for a dip. With a honk of the starting buzzer, The short plumber and the two tailed fox dived in the pool.

The Goomba shouts "and there they go! Mario is in the lead, with Tails tailing behind! Tails has gotten a boost of speed coming from the other side, and now Vector is in the pool! Mario has just switched with Luigi and now Luigi is catching with Vector! Luigi and Vector are head-to-head! Now both Bowser and Amy are in!

The Koopa king grinned. 'Time to swim to victory. And I by swim, I mean cheat with MOTORIZED POWA!!!'

Bowser's shell sprouted small propellers at the rear. With the propellers Bowser swam quickly swam to the other side to the pool. Well, perhaps too quickly.

Reportertron beeped "alert! Bowser has collided with the pool edge. Amy has switched with Blaze. Bowser is swimming to the other side, but Blaze has already reached the end. Team Sonic wins this match."

"Dammit!" Bowser burbled through the pool water.

The other event in this course is 10m Platform. Participants jump off a diving board and must perform before hitting the water. Each participant has three turns. The athletes that decided to do this event are Yoshi and… Sonic?!

"Sonic, you can't do this event!" shouted Amy. "You can't swim!"

The blue hedgehog replied "I know that. It's just that I want to be more useful besides running competitions. Plus, I want something challenging to do."

"But Sonic…"

"Ah let it go, Amy" replied Tails. "I don't get why everyone gets worked up about this. I mean, nobody cares that Sonic can go into outer space without a spacesuit or be protect from a laser with only a single ring. But when he goes swimming in a non-canon game, everyone suddenly talks about logic!!"

"Uh, what are saying?" asked Knuckles.

"I DON'T KNOW!!!"

"Relax, guys" Sonic calmed his friends down. "Beibei allowed me to use a life jacket during the event."

His friends decided that was acceptable protection, they allowed their hedgehog friend to play. Yoshi had already went first and scored a six. Sonic hesitated when he stood upon the diving board, but when he did jump his life vest took him up to the surface. Oh, and he score four due to a lack of flipping.

Meanwhile Bowser was still sore from losing and smashing his head against concrete.

"Urgh, I'm so humiliated" Bowser grunted, holding an icepack to his forehead. "This time I'll cheat without risking myself for it."

While the Koopa rummaged inside his shell, Yoshi already on his last turn. The green dinosaur hopped, fluttered, spinned, and then cannon balled into the pool. The judges gave the performance a nice eight. Now Sonic had one last chance to get a higher score than his competitor.

It was that time Bowser finally found what he was looking for, a sharp-tipped boomerang! He threw it at the hedgehog, watching it fly in a barely visible speed. When Sonic leapt off for a dive, he heard the horrible sound of his life vest ripped off. Bowser laughed that his plan worked, until the boomerang came back and smacked him right in the head!

Sonic frantically tried to get himself away from the pool, but he didn't have enough time for a ten meter drop. When the hedgehog splashed into the water, the judges gave it a ten for his excellent 'performance'.

"The judges have spoken!" Gary Goomba shouts "winning by twenty six point is none other than Sonic the Hedgehog!"

The crowd gave the hedgehog a round of applause. The clapping stopped when the audience realized he didn't rise up to the surface.

"OH NO! MR. SONIC!" Cream cried.

"SOMEONE GET HIM OUT OF THERE!" Toad shouted.

Yoshi, being the one at the pool already, used his tongue to reel out Sonic. Amy and Tails came running to their friend's side, and also running to Sonic was Mario!

"He's not breathing!" said Tails.

"Don't-a worry!" replied Mario, "I know-a CPR!" Using the knowledge he learned during the brief time of being a doctor, the plumber pressed his hands on the furry critter's chest.

"It's not working!"

"Sorry-a, the only other thing to do is mouth-to-mouth. But I don't-a think anyone would want to…"

Amy Rose gave no second thoughts as she connected her lips to Sonic's and breathed air into him. Sonic slowly woke up, noticing Amy smooching him. The male hedgehog suddenly jolted himself up and coughed out the pool's water and Amy's cooties.

"Sonic is okay" Reportertron analyzed. The audience cheered in ecstasy.

Gary spoke "looks like Team Sonic is the winner of the aquatics course. Tune in later and see what kind of excitement will happen next!"

Back to Sonic, he was currently wiping his mouth with the side of his glove. "Well, thanks for saving me, Amy."

"Oh, it was nothing!" she blushed. "This Mario guy helped out a bit as well."

"Really? Well then, thanks a lot Mario!"

The plumber nodded. "Just doing what-a I do best." He parted ways with the animals, and noticed Bowser lying on the ground. "Mama mia! What-a happened to your-a face?"

"Shut up…" the Koopa moaned.

-

Espio regained conciseness. Looking around, he saw that he inside what appeared to be a small medical room.

"About time you woke up" someone said. The purple reptile turned and saw it was Yingying, the yellow Fuwa. "The nurse said you were brought here knocked out. Do you have any idea what happened to you?"

"I…" Espio paused, trying to remember but nothing came through, "I don't know."

"Hmm, must have been some loose equipment or something. Oh well, I look into it. Lets get back to the Olympic stadium, we are paying you after all."

"Roger" obeyed Espio, going out first.

The gazelle was about follow, but he heard something in a nearby closet. Yingying tensed up a bit, but when nothing else happened he decided to leave with haste.
