Friday |Practice|
Kirby was up and ready at 5:00am. I was sound asleep curled up next to Pierre. I find that when I sleep next to him I have the best sleep in the world. Apparently he does too which I can hardly believe with the amount of movement I do in my sleep and the little bit of talking I do. The talking mostly persists of making a "uhhh" sound. Almost like moaning but not at the same time.

The lights turn on and I hum softly as I burry my face into Pierre's chest. "One more minute and I'll be up," I mumble mostly still asleep. "Up and atom kids. We gotta be there in 15," Kirby's voice said and he left leaving lights still on. Pierre pulls me close and runs his hand through my air. "We should get up. You did promise him that you'd take him in early," Pierre said huskily. I open my eyes and looked at him. "Ugh," I said and got up. I stumble to the little ensuite bathroom. All I had on was one of Pierre's shirts that was obviously too big for me and almost hung down to my knees.

"You look adorable," Pierre tells me. "Whatever," I said still asleep mostly. I go pee, change, and get ready for the day in the bathroom before coming out. I walk over to Pierre and hugged him wanting to fall asleep again and just sleep the entire day. "You gotta stay awake alright," He said as he leads me downstairs. In the kitchen coffees were already made and ready to go. I take a sip of one of the mugs and smile.

"Thanks Kirby," I said to him. "No problem kid," He said. We head down to the track. My mom said she'd meet up for the second practice. The whole way there Grandpa Kirby told us stories about his time in F1 and how he won all his trophies and what he found was complete nonsense about todays rules. Pierre was deep into the conversation and they debated on who was the best driver and why that was the case.

I smile and listen to them talk as we get through the gates. There were some workers already here getting stuff ready and done for certain teams. The lights were on and casted a pleasant view of garages and cars inside. We come up to our garage and go inside. Grandpa Kirby was quick to go to the car and start inspecting it. He was asking Pierre all the questions and Pierre obviously answering them with excitement and nervousness.

I watch as drivers start showing up. I see Lando and Carlos walk by. Lando looks at me and slows down to a stop. Carlos does to. "What's going on Ricciardo?" Lando asks as they walk up to me. "Nothing, had to bring my grandpa in early and show him around. I guess he's getting to know Pierre well," I said jabbing my thumb into the direction of Kirby and Pierre.

"Is that my favourite Grandpa?" Carlos asks which makes Grandpa Kirby look over. "Look who it is. Get over here boys and let me look at ya," He said as he waddles over. They come over to him and hug him. "What's going on old man?" Lando asks as they lean against the wall. "You know I gotta inspect all this. I can't have my lovely Granddaughter work in a dangerous environment," He said. In his free hand he held a water bottle to drink throughout the time we were here.

"What did you think of the last race?" Carlos asks as he pulls up a chair for Kirby to sit on who gladly accepts the opportunity to sit and talk to the boys as long as possible. "Was it a shitshow. You boys did amazing though. P4 Carlos. Good for you. P5 Lando. Amazing job. Now, a few tips I'd do as I'm a retired driver in your league," He said and goes on to explain to the two what he would do and not do. Pierre comes up to me and smiles and he watches Kirby talk to them.

"He's so sweet," Pierre said with a smile. "He really is," I said. A few more people who Kirby knows from Daniel and I's karting days end up showing up saying hello. Kirby talks to them and gives his opinions on what he would've done if he was in their shoes. "Maybe we could use Kirby as a strategist," Pierre says with a shrug.
