Beca couldn't stop smiling. She was about to pocket twenty-five thousand dollars and Chloe Beale is her girlfriend. She revved the engine on her motorcycle before popping the clutch to drive to the ramp. She drove a couple of feet up the ramp and stopped, setting her feet down to keep her steady and unmoving.

The announcement was muffled by her helmet, so she looked to her right for the thumbs up, letting her know it was time. Beca saw the thumbs up and nodded her head in acknowledgment. She waved to the crowd and then slowly backed off the ramp and turned the bike to drive to the starting point that was designated during her practice run.

Chloe, Stacie, and Aubrey were clapping and screaming along with the rest of the crowd. They looked up to the big screen and watched Beca driving toward the starting point. The bike turned and stopped so Beca was now facing the ramp.

Beca gave a wave and a thumbs up. She revved the engine and took off, pushing the bike to reach the speed she needed to make the jump.

The crowd roared as she bulleted toward the ramp. Chloe crossed her fingers, bouncing on her toes, whispering "Make it, make it, make it. . ."

Beca reached the ramp and went up; she lifted the front of the motorcycle slightly and was airborne.

"Holy shit! I'm really going to do it!" went through her mind. Suddenly, she was hitting the opposite ramp, clearing all ten buses with ease. At the bottom of the ramp, she squeezed the brake and slid the back end of the bike around to a stop.
The crowd roared their approval and cheered loudly as Beca stood the bike upright, throwing her fists into the air.

Chloe tore away from the crowd and ran straight for Beca.

Beca engaged the kickstand and got off the bike just in time to catch Chloe in a hug.

"Oh, my God, Becs!" Chloe screamed. "You did it!"

Beca pulled off her helmet and spun Chloe around, kissing her; she set Chloe on her feet without breaking the kiss.

"Way to go, Beca," Stacie yelled as she and Aubrey reached the kissing couple.

Chloe pulled back from the kiss and smiled at Beca.

"I love you!" Beca and Chloe said simultaneously and then laughed.

The crowd came out of the stands to gather around Beca. They were all trying to get to her to congratulate her. She was a bit overwhelmed but she never let go of Chloe, and Chloe never let go of her.
