LUNA
'So tomorrow Ferrari land?' Maya asks. We're at the beach, it is already late, today was a fun day. We visited the water park. Now we're waiting for our drinks, we bought some beds. Three, we didn't wanted to spend too much money. Charles is leaning against my legs.
'Sounds good.' I nod agreeing with Nova her reaction.
'I have meetings tomorrow night.' I open my legs, what makes him fall backwards.
'No Charlie, we need you tomorrow.' I clamp him between my legs.
'To have an even number?' I nod.
'Yes that why I asked you.' I remove my legs and let him sit up straight.
Fake sad he looks at me. 'Not for the fun company? Good to know.' I smile at him.
'Also for the company.' I lean forward on his shoulder.
'Liar.' I smile, wrapping my arms around him.
'You're good company Charlie.' He smile too.
'Alright I'm coming, but I won't be joining diner and maybe I have to leave earlier.' I kiss his cheek, that he needs to shave.
'You're the best.'

I like this photo. Maya sent my photos from today. Amaya and Ava are filming, of course, like always. The photo is me kissing Charles cheek and hanging on his shoulder. Charles isn't pulling an ugly face so it is insta worthy, and he deserves an appreciation post. My best friend since 2015 and more years to come! Thanks for being there for me, I can always count on you. Proud of the things you've achieved buddy, you know that. Love you Charlie! I still need to tell him. But somehow I can't. When I want to tell him slightly panic and just shut down. There were so many good moments I could've told him, but I didn't. And it's not that I don't wanna tell him, I just can't and I hate it. No idea why it happens.

Before he speaks one word I already start to get the giggles. 'Luna, I have a question for you,' the Germain start. Why to me? I hide my self behind my hands. Listening closely to what he's saying. But the giggles don't stop, I can't even look at the man or I'll start giggling. I look at Vettel, who's smiling too. I look for my friends who are also in the room. I see them laughing too; not a smart idea to look at them, because now I really can't stop laughing. It is like I'm back in high school. Tears running down my eyes.
'That one was for you, you know right?' The German next to me says. I carefully wipe away the tears, not wanting to mess up my mascara.
'For me? I didn't listen, I'm sorry. Can you repeat the question?' I mess around. Everyone does it with the elder man. The only thing that this looks believable is because I really don't alway listen. I've had it every press conference, being in my own world for couple of minutes - there is always someone who has to repeat the question, they must hate me. Really something I should change next year.
'Luna, how was your-,' he starts reading of his paper in his best English. Quickly I shake my head.
'I'm joking, I'm joking. My first season went well, I really enjoyed it. And answering the other question, no I don't think there should be a formula one for man and woman separately. Mixed is fun, I like it. Shows how much balls we have as woman, what man don't always believe. Hopefully there will be more females in the future. I'm doing it, so I don't see why other females can't. Can I ask you a question now?' The man next to me already start smiling, knowing what I gonna ask. It was fun arranging it all.
'Yeah sure.'
'Do you remember when you asked Daniel, Lewis and Sebastian if there should be more awards?' He better does.
'Yes I do.' Yay!
'They told you, you should own an award for longest question of the year award.' I see him nodding. I look to my right at Kala, holding the self made award. I take it and place it on the table. 'All drivers who you have interviewed or asked a question to wanna hand you this award. It's called, hold your chair;' I look at the bottom op the awards, I wrote it there so know one can forget. I would've messed it up. 'Best longest question asked to any driver that he has asked a question to with his beautiful German accent you really should continue don't ever go with pension you make the interviews way better and funnier we need more people like you or come to more races,' I take a deep breath, 'award. We hope you like it sir.' People start clapping.
'Thank you.' We let someone make it. It's an microphone standing on a platform circle thing. It's made out of wood and painted the formula 1 microphone. The F1 logo is on the head of the mic. I think it looks awesome. The man really deserves it, he makes people laugh so bad and he doesn't even know he is doing it. Great way to finish the season.

'He guys this time we're all gonna smile, alright? Cause you all look ugly with those serious faces. It is fun! Last race of the season. Kimi don't worry, you're fine, you don't have to smile if you don't want to.' Chuckles. It is working. Daniel and I are legit the only two smiling on the photo made in Melbourne. Kimi is just Kimi. I don't know how he stays that serious all the time, he needs to teach me.

'I got a question for you Pierre.' I have to finishes it this way. Asking a question. It is my thing, not that I do it at every race. But I've done it multiple times this season. They better be prepared next season.
'What is it Luna?' He knows it is coming. I can tell by his voice.
'Why can't penguins fly?' Really though. They are birds, if I'm right.
'Don't know, why?'
'No that was a serious question, I don't know the answer either.' But seriously though why can't they fly, if they are birds. I feel sorry for penguins, I wish I could fly. 'And do they have knees?' It is quite for a second in the radio.
'I don't know Luna. You're catching up on getting close to Magnussen.' I see him in the distance.
'Thanks for listening to my crap, thanks to everyone listening, if you know the answer please sent me a message.' I'm to lazy to look it up.

I sit down in front of the camera, move my curls backwards. 'Ready?'
I nod. 'Steady.' I look at the male next to to camera. Second season of formula 1 drive to survive, I've been in de first season for like three seconds.
'So give me your name, your specialty and which team.' Yes, just like last time.
'I am Guusje Power, first female to enter formula 1 since over 50 year and I drive for Red Bull Toro Rosso Honda.'
