When she was ten, Chloe discovered that she had double jointed elbows. Before then, people would look at her funny when she raised her hand, but she had never known why. Later on, when she was thirteen, she discover that because of her double jointed elbows, she could spin her hand all the way around.
Beca had been dating Chloe for about a month and a half. One morning, Beca opened her eyes to see Chloe stretching next to her. Chloe reached her arms into the air and her elbows bent backwards. This was something Chloe couldn't control. It just happened on its own.
"Chloe!" Beca yelled.
"Babe, you're going to wake everyone." Chloe said, just above a whisper. "What's wrong."
"Your arms."
"Oh." Chloe laughed. She reached her arm into the air once more, hyperextending her elbow.
Beca screamed.
"It's fine." Chloe laughed even harder. "I'm double jointed."
"No, duh!"
"Want to see something else?" She asked and smirked.
"Not really!"
"Okay then." Chloe said. She knew the curiosity would eventually get the best of Beca, so she sighed.
Beca sat and stared for a while. Then she gave in. "Can I see?"
"I knew you'd want to know." Chloe giggled.
"No you didn't." Beca whined.
"Follow me." Chloe said.
"Where are we going?" Beca asked.
"Just follow me." Chloe said.
Beca followed Chloe to the kitchen of Bella House. They were greeted by Fat Amy getting herself breakfast.
"Hey what are you two love birds doing up so early." She asked. Chloe smiled and held out her arm.
"Woah! Red, don't mean to freak you out, but I think your arm is broken." Fat Amy said and Chloe giggled.
"It's not broken, Amy. It's double jointed." Chloe said.
"What's double jointed?" Stacy asked from behind Beca.
"Chloe's elbow." Amy said and Chloe held out her arm. "Look."
"Oh!" Stacy squealed.
"That's not even the best part." Chloe said.
"What?" Fat Amy and Stacy said in sync.
"I was about to show Beca, but you guys interrupted." Chloe said. "Anyway."
Chloe put her right hand on the table. She took a dramatic deep breath to build the suspense. With her left hand, she spun her right hand around and let go, leaving her arm completely twisted.
"Oh my God!" Beca yelled.
"What happened! Is the house on fire!" Emily came running down the stairs, Flo right behind her.
"In my country, if there is a fire, we all flee the premises." Flo said.
"No, the house isn't on fire." Chloe said, lifting her hand off the table and allowing her hand the spin back to normal. Beca shivered.
"Her arm is messed up." Beca said in disgust.
"What?" Emily asked.
"Do it again!" Amy said.
Chloe placed her arm on the table and spun it again.
"Ew!" Emily squealed.
Chloe laughed. She hadn't thought of her elbows as a gift until then. Everyone in the Bella House had stopped whatever they doing to watch her show off her arms. Chloe had never felt more special.

Wrote this because Brittany Snow has double jointed elbows and so do I. Since I can spin my arm around like that, I figure she probably could, too. ~Maddie
