Playing Mini Golf In Saudi Arabia
As the teams packed up at the paddock, a certain group of drivers was making plans for the break.
"Why don't we go do something while we're on break?" William suggested.
"Yeah" Lando replied "Since we're going to Saudi Arabia for the next race anyways. Why not find something to do there?"
"Hey, isn't there once of those mini golf places near the track?" Alex chimed in. "Wanna go there for a break?"
"Sure." The others replied.
~~2 days later~~
The four had decided on heading to Jeddah a few days early to have some time to unwind and relax ahead of the Grand Prix Weekend.
While the others were packing their things, William had finished long ago. Since Jeddah wasn't on the calendar last year, it was uncharted territory for most of the drivers. Since he had time, William decide on spend some time on the simulator to get a feel for the new circuit. Lap by lap he start to get familiar with the track, learning when he should break and when to go flat out.
His phone vibrated once and he leaned forward to check what it was. Lando had sent him a message.
The flight to Saudi Arabia was uneventful as William drifted off to sleep.
William felt someone shaking his shoulder as he slowly came into the waking world.
"William! Wake up! We landed! We're here in Saudi Arabia!" Lando said.
William rubbed the sleep out of his eyes before sitting up in his seat and stretching. "Alright! Alright! I'm up! Quit shaking me!"
His complaint was meet with laughter as Lando got up to grab his things.
After the four had disembarked the plane, they headed over to the Airbnb that they would be sharing until their respective teams booked them their private hotel rooms.
"What do you guys wanna do now?" Lando asked flopping onto the bed.
"I dunno ma-" Alex began before a pillow slammed into the back of his head.
Behind him stood George, pillow in hand, a cat like grin plastered on his face. "PILLOW FIGHT!!!" He screeched.
William, who had been quietly watching from the background rushed to find a pillow of his own. Closing his hand on one, he whirled around to smack Lando across the face as he dived for a pillow as well. The blow knocked him sideways onto the bed.
However, there was no time to celebrate as Alex closed the distance on William. The two played an intense game of cat and mouse each taking turns swinging at each other. Alex swung for William's leg but he stepped back to dodge it. William swung at Alex's side but came back empty handed. This went on until William scored a hit on Alex, knocking his pillow out of his hand.
While Alex and William had their duel, Lando and George were also fighting. Unlike Alex and William, instead of taking turns swinging their duel was an all out brawl with both sides swinging relentlessly to knock the pillow out of their opponents hand. The brawl raged on until Lando — once again — was smacked across the head with a pillow sending him sprawling across the bed.
It was now just 2 people left. William and George. The match started with both on guard, watching their opponents every move.
"20 pounds on George winning" Lando whispered over to Alex.
"Bet!" Alex replied grinning.
George struck first swinging at William, who dodged the swing and retaliated swinging for George's head and connecting. This knocked both George and his pillow off balance and a follow up blow to the chest was all William needed to take George out.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Lando cried as Alex doubled over laughing.
Both William and George gave the two weird looks
"Lando bet 20 pounds on George winning" Alex supplied.
After the four cleaned up the room and took their showers they all went to bed to prepare for tomorrow.
~~The Next Day~~
*Nightmare Starts*
"Here come Hunt Chasing down Schumacher for the win! Up Raidillon they go! Flat out, side by side!"
William turned his head to the apex of the corner as he and his rival Mick Schumacher barreled up the hill. It was going to be a clean move. However, oversteer had other ideas. A snap of oversteer made the back of his car slide left and as he was correcting it the car caught and snapped on him sending him head on into the barriers.
"And it's a huge crash for the championship leader! This is going to throw a major spanner in the works for Hunt!"
All Hunt could hear was ringing in his ears and the faint voice of his engineer asking if he was ok.
"Ughh" He groaned, every part of his body hurt. "I'm ok"
"And we're now getting confirmation that William Hunt is indeed ok following a heavy shunt into the wall."
*Nightmare End*
William sat bolt upright as he woke from his nightmare. Breathing heavily, he let the events of yesterday played through his head. Sitting up and stretching he slowing climbing out of the bed careful not to disturb the others.
As he was making breakfast which consisted of scrambled eggs, toast, porridge and coffee, he heard the sound of the others waking up to their alarm clocks. As the trio stumbled one by one from the bathroom to the into the living room, they were met with William setting the table with a huge amount of food.
"Good morning!" William said cheerfully.
"Good morning" The other mumbled still waking up.
After the group had finished eating they all got dressed to head out to the the mini golf place. William had chosen a collared shirt with khaki pants. The others were dressed either in the same fashion as William or with a buttoned up shirt and jeans
Upon arriving at the place they paid their entrance fee and were told to have fun.
The agreed prize was that 1st place would get to post something on 4th place's Twitter account.
Lando took the first shot...and had it roll of the green.
"NO!" He cried "THIS IS RIGGED!"
The rest of them cracked up laughing.
William was up next and his shot fair far better then Lando's, moving the ball forward and bouncing it of a wall to the next part of the course. George hit his ball and it didn't get as far as William's shot but it still put him 2nd. Alex however had a god shot and landed a hole in one, getting the force down to perfection nailing the small jump.
"YES! LETS GO!" Alex celebrated.
Lando's next tap went better then the one before, rolling forward and coming to a stop at then end of the straight. Williams next shot was his last shot of the hole, sending the ball over the jump and into the hole. George followed up as well with a quick stroke, sending the ball into the hole. It took Lando 2 more strokes to get the ball in.
The game continued on for 18 more holes with Alex running away with the win at a impressive 46 shots. The others fought hard for 2nd but it ended with George in 2nd with William and 3rd and Lando in 4th with scores of 52, 54, 55 respectively.
Alex's choice of post was a single line: "I miss my bro" (this is their bromance, not shipping them)
They left the course absolutely dying of laughter.
"Oh we need to do something like that again" George said between heavy breaths.
"For real" William replied.
As the day wore on they explored the different restaurants that Saudi Arabia had to offer. After a lot of food and and lot of exploring they called it a day and headed home. When the arrived that the Airbnb, they promptly collapsed on their beds and passed out.
