The race was over, Bottas had won the race and the drivers and Emily and the others were making their way to the nearest club in Australia. The blonde was wearing a short silver skirt with a matching bralette with matching silver heels and her long hair was tied up into a stylish, yet messy bun and straight as she had bold makeup, complimenting her features.

"I'm still not telling you!" Emily laughed as she walked in between Victoria Verstappen and Max's girlfriend, Dilara Sanlik down the street.

"Please!" Victoria said, "I'll buy you as many drinks as you want!"

"Not happening Vic," she laughed as they made their way into the club. As the blonde walked in, people turned around and their eyes went wide when they saw Emily.

"Whoa!" The DJ yelled, "Emily Swift and the Formula One drivers everyone!" The crowd went wild and burst into applause as Emily laughed and waved. "Welcome!" The blonde took as many photos as she could before she made her way to the bar.

"Can I get a Jack Daniels and Coke please?" she asked.

"Coming right up," the bartender said as Emily smiled.

"Never would have put you as a Jack Daniels girl," Lando said, appearing at her side. Millie turned to look at him and smiled.

"Full of surprises," she said giggling. The bartender brought over her drink but before the blonde could pay for it, Lando tapped his card on the machine. "Hey!" she said as she looked up at him.

"Gotta buy the pretty lady a drink," he said as she smiled.

"Thank you," she said.

"Can I get a Moscow Mule please?" he asked as Emily looked at him confused.

"What the fuck is that?" she asked chuckling.

"Vodka, ginger beer and lime juice," he said, paying for his drink as he brought the drink over. "Try some." She took a sip and was rather surprised.

"Oh, that's nice," she said as she grabbed her own drink.

Lando chuckled as he the two walked away from the bar, his hand on her back as she smiled lightly as they made their way towards the VIP area where the other drivers were.

A few hours later, Emily had a lot of drinks and was rather drunk as she had Lando's oversized denim jacket on her. She was laughing as she held onto Max's arm to stop her from falling off.

"This one is dedicated to our special guest," the DJ called as Emily looked up, "Emily Swift, come on up! We've got a classic just for you!"

Emily let out a laugh as the music to The Middle of Stating Over began playing. Emily covered her face with her hands as Max took her up to the stage as she laughed and took the microphone from the DJ. She grabbed Victoria and Dilara's hands and pulled them up to the stage with her. The two girls looked over the moon as they grabbed a microphone from the DJ.

"Oh, oh-oh-oh," everyone sang as Emily laughed, "oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh."

"Cast, out to sea," the blonde sang as she laughed. Even drunk, she sounded incredible. The club burst into applause as she grinned. "Drifting with the tide, and no way of finding me. Now that I'm free, nothing but blue skies, paradise in front of me."

"Awake from this dream,"  Victoria sang as Emily beamed.

"I hold my breath and just believe," Dilara sang as Max beamed at his girlfriend.

"Tired of all the troubles, they've been wasting my time," the three girls sang with the crowd as Emily laughed as she smiled at Lando who was singing along, "I don't wanna fight, gonna leave it behind. Take it on faith, now I'm ready to fly, I'm in the middle of starting over. Back to the beginning, gonna hit rewind, chance to do it over, get it right this time. Life gives you pennies, turn them into dimes, I'm in the middle of starting over, I'm in the middle of starting over."

"Oh, oh-oh-oh," everyone sang as Emily beamed, "oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh."

"Alone in a room," Victoria sang as Emily grinned, "tearing down the walls, painting over scars and bruises."

"Now this is home," Dilara sang as Emily cheered with the audience, "fill it up with love, and make the best of something new, yeah."

"Awake from this dream,"  Emily sang as she smiled,"I hold my breath and just believe."

"Tired of all the troubles, they've been wasting my time," the three girls sang with the crowd as Emily laughed as she smiled at Lando who was singing along, "I don't wanna fight, gonna leave it behind. Take it on faith, now I'm ready to fly, I'm in the middle of starting over."

Emily smiled as she got off the stage, with the help from Carlos.

"Back to the beginning, gonna hit rewind, chance to do it over, get it right this time," the three girls sang together as Emily made her way to Lando. Life gives you pennies, turn them into dimes, I'm in the middle of starting over, I'm in the middle of starting over."

"The colours and the stars seem a little brighter," the blonde sang, smiling as she held the microphone for Lando. 

"Tomorrow isn't far away," the two sang together as Emily grabbed his hand and dragged him towards the stage. "Through the hardest part, I'm working towards a happy ending."

"Tired of all the troubles, they've been wasting my time," the three girls and Lando sang with the crowd, "I don't wanna fight, gonna leave it behind. Take it on faith, now I'm ready to fly, I'm in the middle of starting over. Back to the beginning, gonna hit rewind, chance to do it over, get it right this time," the three girls sang together as Emily made her way to Lando. Life gives you pennies, turn them into dimes, I'm in the middle of starting over, I'm in the middle of starting over."

Emily laughed as Lando took her hand and spun her around carefully as she grinned. 

"Tired of all the troubles, they've been wasting my time," everyone sang together, "I don't wanna fight, gonna leave it behind. Take it on faith, now I'm ready to fly, I'm in the middle of starting over. Back to the beginning, gonna hit rewind, chance to do it over, get it right this time," the three girls sang together as Emily made her way to Lando. Life gives you pennies, turn them into dimes, I'm in the middle of starting over, I'm in the middle of starting over."

Emily looked around the club, a smile on her face.

"Oh, oh-oh-oh," everyone sang as Emily smiled and looked at Lando who was already grinning at her, "oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh."

The entire club was cheering so loudly that Emily thought she might go deaf. 

"Emily Swift everyone!" the DJ yelled as the blonde laughed and waved to the crowd.

Max helped his sister and girlfriend down while Lando jumped off the stage and put his hands around Emily's waist as she put his hands on his shoulders as he lifted her down with ease. Emily smiled as she looked up at Lando, her hands still on his shoulders and his on her waist as she giggled.

"Another drink?" she asked as he grinned.

"Let's go," he said as they made their way to the bar.
