Vitaly began his act pouring conditioner on himself, and smoothing it through his fur. The others watched anxiously as Vitaly prepared himself.

“Light the hoop on fire!” Vitaly said.

Y/N took a deep breath and lit the tiny hoop. She then ran to her position halfway between the hoop and Vitaly. She looked at him to see he was a little nervous as he looked back at her.

“I believe in you, Vitaly,” she told him to where only they both could hear.

He smiled at her, closed his eyes, then showed how fierce and green they were with a growl. He then started running for it, the audience a little nervous. He then did cartwheels and flips before grabbing Y/N and pulling her into his chest.

“Mamma mia, Santa Maria, Santa Maria...” Stefano prayed.

He then pointed a claw at the hoop with one arm and held Y/N tightly with the other. He then started spinning.

“Mamma Maria, mia Santa, Santa Mia Farrow...” Stefano continued praying.

The hoop was getting closer and closer.

“Come on, you got it,” Alex whispered.

Vitaly and Y/N closed their eyes as they went through. Then the audience applauded. Even the promoter was impressed. Vitaly and Y/N opened their eyes to see they made it through without being burned. Stefano applauded wildly while laughing.

“You did it!” Y/N shouted happily and hugged Vitaly.

He hugged her back and spun her around as they laughed. He then put her down and took her hand. They bowed then he took the stand and blew the fire out.

“All right, what are you waiting for? We got a show to put on. Let’s go. Go, go, go, go, go!” Alex told the others and they were ready to start.

Then Y/N and Vitaly stood on opposite ends of where the pole was and he put it in. Then they spun it and the circus was a hit.
