It was Christmas Eve, everyone was excited and there was going to be a Christmas party at 8 P.M. There was one problem, Echo didn't have anything to wear. She couldn't wear her normal outfit or her other outfits. She was lying on the bed sideways, burying her face in her hands. "What am I gonna do?", she groaned in frustration. "I believe I can help you", someone said behind her. She growled, she knew who it was. "I can help you find the perfect outfit", Spy whispered, his breath hot against her ear. She got up from the bed glaring at him. "I don't need your help, Espiao.", she said, the acid in her voice obvious. Spy got up from the bed and lit a cigarette. "You don't have anything else, and you aren't going like that", he said, pointing at her current outfit. She sighed in defeat. He was right and she hated it. "Tell me where were going, and I can teleport us there." Spy smirked and flicked his cigarette. "Tres bien. I know the perfect place." She input the coordinates on her watch. "You might want to hold on to something.", she said evilly. "Wait, what?" It was too late. Echo and Spy disappeared in a blue flash. Spy screamed his head off as he and Echo zoomed through a blue tunnel at light speed. They landed in the exact coordinate point. Spy had turned a sickly green and was clutching his stomach. "Never again", he said before vomiting. Echo pat his back, looking away. "Esta bem. Get it out of your system." After that happened, they went into a small boutique and started looking for an outfit.(Le Time Skip) They had gone through almost fifteen outfits and found nothing they both liked. She was ready to give up when Spy came back with another outfit. (This is the outfit)

"I think this will work", he said

"I think this will work", he said. She tried it on and she seemed to like it. Spy liked it as well. They bought the outfit and went back to the base. Echo got ready, but then realized something. "What about make up?" "I already thought of that, so I called someone." She was about to ask who she got when there was a knock on her door. She answered it and was shocked. Scout's Ma stood there with a case in her hands and a smile on her face. "Maria!" (I don't know her real name) Echo embraced her. "What are you doing here?!" "I came to help." Maria told Echo to sit down while she did her work. A few minutes later, Echo had ruby red lips and smoky eyes. She looked at her reflection in the mirror. "I look..." "Absolutely beautiful", Maria finished. "Indeed", Spy said. They walked with her to the rec room. She saw the guys talking to each other and laughing while drinking eggnog and hot chocolate. Everyone had a festive design on their sweaters, except for Medic who wore a plain white sweater. She had butterflies in her stomach. "Yo, everyone. Check out Echo!", Scout said, noticing her. Everyone turned to face her. Sniper pulled his glasses down and stared. "Well would ya look at that", Soldier said. "Is me eye playing tricks on me?", Demo wondered. Medic had a little bit of pink on his cheeks. Engie walked over to her and took both of her hands in his. "You look beautiful, darlin.", he said. Echo smiled and hugged him. "Thanks Engie." She released and went to go socialize. After a little while, she went outside and saw a little tree to sit under. She had a cup of hot chocolate because it was cold outside. Medic soon joined her and they started talking. It was a few moments of silence before Echo brought out her phone and started listening to a slow song. She didn't have any headphones on her, so she had to play it out loud. Medic got up and held out his hand to her. "Would you like to dance with me?", he asked bashfully. She nodded and took his hand. He put one hand on her waist and held her hand with the other, and she put one hand on his shoulder. They moved in time with the music and Echo rested her head on Medic's shoulder. The song ended and they broke apart. They were both avoiding each others gaze. Medic looked up and said,"Mistletoe." Echo looked up and saw the small plant floating above them. She knew Spy was holding it. "Come on you two, you know the rules", Scout said. Everyone was watching. They looked at each other and blushed. Medic leaned down and gently pressed his lips to hers. Echo started to kiss back with a little more pressure. She nervously ran her tongue across his bottom lip. He granted her access and she explored his mouth. They broke apart, breathless. They heard clapping and yells of approval. Echo ran back to her room, embarrassed, with Medic calling after her. She laid down on the bed, wanting to cry. She closed her eyes. She felt the bed shift. She got up and saw Medic sitting on the bed. "Oh, hi." He was wringing his hands nervously. "Echo. I have a confession to make." "What is it?" He took a deep breath and spoke. "I love you. Ever since you joined, I couldn't get you out of my head. You're so beautiful, kind, smart and strong. When I'm around you, I feel like I can't breathe." Echo was shocked. "I feel the same." He looked at her, eyes full of hope. "Really?" She nodded. He moved closer and embraced her. "Mein Liebling.", he said. They released and Medic captured her lips in a soft but firm kiss. Echo smiled into the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer. They broke apart and laid down in the bed. He wrapped his arms protectively around her and held her closely. "Ich liebe dich, Echo."
