"I really don't like this." Brooklyn says.
"Brookie, I'm on a bike all the time." JJ says.
"Yeah, going a decent speed. Never going, like, 100 or anything." Brooklyn says. "Or-- I-I mean, not since--" She stops herself, an anxious look in her eyes.
"Shortcake, I'm fine." JJ says, cupping her face. "I'm gonna get on that bike, I'm gonna win this thing, and we can have celebratory sex tonight."
"JJ." She gives him a stern look.
"Hey. You know what? If I die, you can totally kill me." JJ says making the girl roll her eyes. "Come on, B, it'll be fine." He promises.
Brooklyn sighs as she looks back up at her boyfriend.
"Fine." She mumbles. "There's no stopping you."
"Exactly." JJ grins.
"I'll kill you if you get hurt." Brooklyn warns.
"Noted." JJ pecks her on the cheek.

"What's up, y'all kooks and pogues? Welcome, welcome to this year's Kildare Enduro. What a fantastic day we got for racing today. You guys ready to burn some rubber?" The crowd cheers.
"The race is kicking off soon, so make sure you get your bets in, and then wave your flag, you know what I'm saying?"
Brooklyn stands by JJ while Cleo makes sure his bike is good.
"Are you sure you can do this? You can back out." Brooklyn says.
"Babe, babe." JJ gently calls. "It's okay. I know what I'm doing. I've done this before." Brooklyn huffs, knowing she can't change his mind.
"Just be careful. Please. If winning involves near death, don't win." Brooklyn says.
"Deal." JJ says after a few moments, Brooklyn knowing he'll try to win no matter what. "It'll be great. Just watch." He kisses her.
"I need a drink." Brooklyn says, walking off.
"Gonna be a wild one this year, Ash. Who do you have in this race?"
"Man, I've got my eyes on my man Meatball Howell. He's coming in hot to this race."
"What is he doing?" Erin asks, noticing John B join the race.
"Racing, apparently." Zack says.
"We've got Topper looking good. Rafe Cameron on that fire breathing KTM, he could be your favorite today."
Sarah quickly informs everyone but Pope about how JJ bet the gold on himself.
"So is he always this, um...?" Finn tries to ask.
"Reckless? Stupid? Acts without thinking?" Kie lists. "Yep. Always."
"Check that out. Looks like we've got a late entrant. John B Routledge on a bucket of bolts. He's gonna need a miracle."
"Does your boyfriend ever think before he does anything?" Sarah questions.
"Nope. Not a single time." Brooklyn answers. "Honestly, pretty sure that's why we first ever hooked up."
"Oh, this is gonna suck." Zack comments glancing between his brother and friend and Rafe and Topper.
"Yeah." Erin nods. "You think he's gonna win?"
"On that thing?" Zack asks. "God, I hope so. Cause we're totally fucked otherwise."
"Yep." Erin nods. "Your brother's an idiot."
