Final Lap - Sambucky AU

127

Natasha joined Clara at the party, and dance with her. The two smiled and laughed as Mina came over to dance.

Anthony and Kylo stayed at their seats and watched the girls dance.

The prince came over to Clara, but Natasha grabbed Clara and danced with her and winked at the prince. The two dance close and kept their eyes on each other.

Kylo was so happy he caught Natasha swerving a prince on video. Natasha kept her eyes on on Clara who smiled at her. "Hey- do you wanna come with me to America for the break?! All the juniors?" She asked suddenly.

Clara looked at her surprised. "Oh?! Hm... I would love to!" She said with a smile. Natasha had to use all the restraint in her body to not kiss this girl in front of her.

Peggy, Steve, Sam, and Bucky watched their kids dance. Peggy looked at Sam and Bucky, "your daughter is so much like you two when it comes to love." She said.

Bucky looked low key insulted by Peggy's comment, but Sam just laughed. "Yeah you're right. We were tad oblivious those two look like they know." Sam said.

Steve nodded as he sipped some champagne. "Yeah. You're right."

Clara was dancing by herself for a moment when Natasha walked over to her and touched her waist slightly whcih made Clara jump slightly.

"I have a gift for you." Natasha told her. Clara looked at her surprised. "You don't have to get me gifts."

"I wanted to." Natasha said as she lead her off the dance floor. She handed her a small bag. Clara opened it and saw a rectangle box.

She opened it carefully and gasped slightly. It was a charm bracelet with a little car, an airplane, flowers, and a tea cup charms on it.

"I thought you might like it. I picked out the charms." Natasha said. Clara smiled and nearly jumped around the room. "I love it."

Natasha helped her put the charm bracelet on and smiled as she wore it. "Let's go show my mom!" Clara held Natasha's hand and ran over to Peggy

Clara showed Peggy as Natasha sat down next to sam. She leaned her head against him. "Sorry for yelling at you dad. I was having a Rough day... I still am but it's better now." She said quietly.

Sam kissed her head and sighed. "You're okay hun... I understand. It was hard watching her beat your father but I know you will beat him in spectacular fashion."

Natasha nodded and smiled softly as the juniors dragged her out of her chair as Taylor swift was playing. All the juniors danced including Anthony and Kylo to Getaway Car.

Mina sung her heart out with Clara. Natasha watched as she listened to the lyrics and looked at Clara.

Clara met her gaze and smiled back. Natahsa just a smiled and continued dancing.

Yes, that day was very stressful for her, but as Kylo said himself. She's going to do something greater than anyone ever anticipated.

The group got back to the house and passed out in their rooms. Natahsa sat in her room and got changed and was going to take off her makeup when there was a soft knocket on her door.

"Come in." Natasha said as she held her makeup remover stuff. Clara came in, she was in her pajamas. "Hey... I um..."

"Would you like to talk in here?" Clara asked. Natasha nodded slightly. "Yeah. Um. I just gotta take off my makeup." Clara nodded as she sat by her as she did.

"We're still friends right?" Clara asked as Natasha started to take her eyeshadow off. Natasha looked at her surprised.

"Of course we are... why wouldn't we be?" She said worried.

"Oh... well that was referencing the argument." Clara said.

"Oh yeah. I'm not mad at you. I'm just mad at me, and frustrated with all the media. Articles are already being published about me." Natasha said as she showed her her phone.

Clara scrolled through them. Almost 100 articles already about her losing the chance to get the record.

"I'm sorry about that." Clara said.

"Don't apologize Clara for being a record maker. I was frustrated with myself for not pushing, not you..." she said as she wiped off her lipstick.

"How does it feel to be in the history books?" Natasha asked. Clara thought.

"It feels good... my parents were both there to see it happen, it was in England... it was a wonderful feeling. I felt as if I could float and just be happy." Clara said as her eyes shone with the pure excitement from the day she had.

"Good. Im glad your happy with it." Natasha said as put her stuff away. Clara looked at Natasha and sighed.

"Can I recommend something... it might help with the people being mean to you." She said.
Natasha looked at her curious.

"Do interviews again. Do media again." Clara said. Natasha looked concerned by that idea.

"Nothing with news outlets, with F1. Then it can't be altered in any way to make you look bad. It'll be by F1 and or Red Bull. So like...
Press conference, team ads, etc." Natasha didn't mind the idea.

"And you think it'll help with my image?"

"Absolutely, and some of them are really fun."
Clara said wanting to help in any way possible. Natasha chucked at the hopeful look in her eyes and sighed.

"Fine. I'll tell Maria tomorrow, and see how everything goes." She said as she just looked at Clara with pure bliss.

"Well... I'm gonna head to bed then." Clara said. Natasha nodded as she then leaned forward and kissed one cheek, then the other and looked at her.

"British tradition... right?" Natasha smirked as she got up and turned off the light and closed her window.

"Yeah..." Clara got up and said Goodnight again and rushed to her room with a smile on her face.

"Oh she's amazing..."
