Alan and Susan had been preparing for their act all week, they were the best and they clearly knew it.  In order to be the best they had to possess something not many traipses had, that was trust.  They trusted each other more than anything, each time they went out there they knew their lives were in the other person's hands, but yet they were okay with that.  Now their big moment was on them, the crowd roared as Alan started off the act by swinging back and forth on his bar.  Susan then started to do the same with hers.  When she had built up enough momentum she leapt off it toward Alan.  this was it, either life or death, if Alan did not catch her or slipped she if not both would fall to their death at the floor below.
