"Come on Margot, we have a flight to catch !" Max called from downstairs.
Margot dragged her suitcase and carry on down 2 flights of stairs, and got in her older brother Max's car.

"Are we flying with your friends to your race ?"
"Yeah, my best friend Lando, is coming with us. I'll introduce the 2 of you when we get to the airport."

Margot leans back into her seat and relaxes as Max drives them to the airport. She puts in her AirPods and starts to listen to her favourite songs on her playlist. She wasn't too bothered about meeting Max's best friend, he didn't sound too impressive anyway.

Max checks in on her every once in a while, if she's okay. She's fine. The car ride is relaxing, and the scenery and music are calming. Margot is in her element.

Max and Margot reach the airport, where they are met with a very tired looking boy, about 4 or 5 years older than Margot and a year or 2 younger than Max.

They boys curly hair is messy, and he looks as if he could nap right then and there. He's leaning on his suitcase and lazily holding his carry on bag.

Margot and Max exit the car getting their suitcases and bags, and then Max runs over to the boy, presumably his best friend.

Margot drags her suitcase over, and stands beside her older brother as he talks to his best friend.

"Hey Lando, how are you ? Excited for Silverstone, I presume ?"
"I'm good, Max, but I got about 2 hours of sleep last night."

Max smiles as he talks to Lando. Lando tries to laugh off the sleepiness but he can't.

Margot is awkwardly standing beside her brother as the 2 talk, praying this won't be a long race weekend.

After about 15 minutes, the 3 go inside the airport and get a Starbucks, Margot and Lando accidentally ordering the same thing.

Max decided now would be a good time to introduce the 2 to each other.
"Margot, meet Lando, my best friend, and Lando, meet Margot, my little sister."
"Hi, Margot"
"Hi, Lando"
The two shared a handshake and Lando took Margot's hand and kissed it. Margot blushed and looked away, she thought no one noticed, but Max smirked.

They all got on the private plane and everyone sat down. Margot and Lando took the the seats beside each other and Max took a single seat.

Lando's eyes were very droopy, he looked like he was about to fall asleep. He tried to stay awake, he really did, but he found the motion of the plane really relaxing and his head fell onto a comfortable spot, and he started to have one of the best naps of his life.

It was a relatively short flight to Silverstone, and Max was also asleep.
Margot had a sleeping Lando on her shoulder, and was reading her book.

Max and Lando both napped until the flight landed but Max woke up, and Lando needed to be woken up.

Margot shook him gently, moved his curls out of his eyes, and the boy did not wake.

"Lando ?" Margot softly whispered to him.
"Time to wake up, Lando," Margot whispered again.

Lando started to wake, and sleepily smiled as he stretched his arms up and yawned.
"Hey Margot," Lando spoke with a deep morning voice and a big sleepy smile.
"You okay Lando ? Have a good sleep ?" Margot spoke to Lando, smiling.
"Was her shoulder comfy Lando ?" Came Max's response as he smirked.
"Very comfy indeed Max,"

Margot put here AirPods back in and listened to more of her favourite songs. Her most favourite song started to play.
Sparks Fly
Taylor Swift
Margot smiled as the song played and the plane landed.
