October had finally arrived. It was the time for Jacqie to come to Japan with her parents. But, one day before they went there, she started feeling unwell. She got fever. So, her parents asked her to bring some medicines.

They had a flight on Thursday. After some hours, they arrived in Japan and then they went to the hotel near Suzuka circuit. After they arrived in their room, Jacqie took her phone and texted Sebastian.

Jacqie

Hi, Seb! My parents and I have arrived in Japan. Can't wait to see you :)

Seb

Hi, Jacqie! Glad to know that you had a safe flight. By the way, where do you stay now?

Jacqie

I stay at Suzuka Circuit Flower Garden Hotel. I don't know whether you stay in the same hotel or not.

Seb

Oh wow! My team coincidentally stay there as well. I'm at the circuit now and I am going to the hotel in an hour. See you tomorrow, Jacqie! And sleep well :)

She couldn't hide her smile as he once again showed that he cared about her. She then shook her head as she didn't want to think too far. He definitely cared as her friend like she did to her school and college friends.

Jacqie

Thank you, Seb, and see you tomorrow :)

After Jacqie sent her message, Martha asked her to take the medicine. "Jacqie, take your medicine and sleep now."

She nodded, "Okay, mom."

She took a medicine and a bottle of water on the nightstand after she sat down again on bed. She really hoped that she would feel better when she went to the circuit on the following day.

Sebastiaan sat next to Jacqie and asked, "Did you text Seb?"

"Yes. He said that he is at the circuit now and he'll be back to the hotel in an hour. He also told me that his team are staying here too!"

He smiled. "This hotel is the closest to the circuit. I believed that there will be a team or more that will stay here, so that was way I reserved a room in this hotel."

Jacqie quickly realized the reason why her parents reserved a room in that hotel, "Ah, thanks a lot, dad."

"With pleasure, sweetheart," Sebastiaan stroked her hair softly. "Now sleep, because our adventure starts tomorrow."

Jacqie was very happy to have parents like them. They were the best in the world as they always made her very happy. She kissed her parents' cheeks before she went to sleep, because on the following day they were going to Suzuka circuit.

Friday. Heavy rain at Suzuka circuit and that was bad for Jacqie and the drivers. Bad for her, as she was still unwell and that could make her feeling worse. Bad for the drivers as well, because they would have a very limited time to run their cars on the track.

After practice sessions finished, Seb asked Jacqie to go to the place near the paddock entry. When they arrived, they found someone wearing RBR uniform, but it wasn't him. But she remembered who it was.

"Sorry, are you Tommi?"

He smiled at her. "Ah yes. I'm Tommi and you must be Jacqueline, right?"

She guessed it right. He was Tommi Pärmäkoski, Seb's Personal Trainer. "You're right, I'm Jacqueline and these are my parents."
