Speeding Bonds: A Sainz Siblings Story

This is my first F1 fanfiction, and I'm excited to share it with you all! It's a bit short, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless. Your feedback means a lot to me, so if you like what you read, let me know! If there's interest, I'll definitely add more to the story. Thanks for taking the time to check it out!

Character: Name: Ji-min Sainz Age: 23

Background: Ji-min was adopted from South Korea into the Sainz family when she was just a baby. Growing up in Spain, she was immersed in Spanish culture but always felt a connection to her Korean roots. She has a warm relationship with her adoptive family.

Ji-min discovered her passion for music at a young age and pursued it fervently. She auditioned for a talent agency in Barcelona and was selected to be a part of a five-member girl group called "Eclipse." Despite her busy schedule as a K-pop idol.

Meanwhile, her older Carlos Sainz Jr. was making a name for himself in the world of Formula 1 racing. Their paths rarely crossed due to their different careers and lifestyles, but Ji-min secretly followed Carlos's races, feeling proud of his achievements yet also envious of the attention and recognition he received.

As Ji-min's popularity as a K-pop idol soared, she kept her family background a secret, fearing that it might overshadow her own accomplishments and potentially cause unwanted attention. However, deep down, she yearned to connect with her brother.

The story:

SMS

Ji-min: Hey Carlos, it's Ji-min. Hope you're doing awesome today! 🌟

Carlos: Ji-min! What's up, little sis? 😄 Everything good on your end?

Ji-min: Yeah, all good here! Hey, I was actually wondering... would it be cool if I came to one of your races? I've been dying to see you in action, big bro! 🏎️💨

Carlos: Of course it's cool, Ji-min! I'd love to have you there cheering me on. But... are you okay with everyone knowing we're family? I mean, it's kind of a big deal to go public with this stuff.

Ji-min: Totally cool with it, Carli! I've been wanting to shout it from the rooftops for ages. 😄 Plus, I'm super proud of you, big bro! Let's show the world what the Sains siblings are made of!

Carlos: Haha, you're the best, Ji-min! Thanks for always having my back. 😊 Alright then, I'll hook you up with a pass for the race. Get ready for the full VIP treatment!

Ji-min: Woo-hoo! VIP treatment, here I come! 🌟 Thanks a million, Carli. You're the best big bro a girl could ask for!

Carlos: Anytime, Ji-min! Can't wait to see you at the race, little sis. Get ready for some serious fun!

Ji-min: Counting down the days big bro! Vamos!

The day of the race:

At the Australian Grand Prix 2024

Ji-min made her way through the bustling crowds, the sun beating down on her as she walked. She was dressed in a simple sundress, a soft pastel blue that fluttered gently in the warm breeze. The fabric flowed loosely around her figure, offering comfort and ease as she navigated through the throngs of people.

A pair of oversized sunglasses shielded her eyes from the bright sunlight, partially concealing her face and adding a touch of mystery to her appearance. She pulled her hair back into a loose ponytail, strands of dark hair framing her delicate features.

Despite the casual attire, Ji-min moved with a graceful confidence, her steps light and purposeful as she weaved her way through the crowd. She kept her head down slightly, avoiding direct eye contact to minimize attention as she made her way towards the VIP area.

Occasionally, she caught snippets of excited chatter from nearby fans discussing the upcoming race and the drivers competing in it. Ji-min couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement coursing through her veins as she neared the entrance, her heart pounding with anticipation.

As she reached the designated entrance for VIP guests, Ji-min took a deep breath, her excitement bubbling beneath the surface. With a confident smile, she presented her pass to the security personnel and stepped inside, ready to witness her big brother's momentous victory firsthand.

Her eyes scanning the crowd for any sign of her brother. She was so absorbed in her search that she didn't notice the people around her, her gaze moving to her phone screen as she typed out a message to Carlos.

"Hey Carli, just arrived. Where are you? "

Lost in her phone, Ji-min didn't notice the figure approaching until it was too late. With a sudden jolt, she collided with someone, nearly dropping her phone in the process.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed, looking up to see who she had bumped into.

Standing before her was none other than Lando Norris, one of the drivers competing in the race. Ji-min's eyes widened in surprise, recognizing him instantly from his racing gear and signature smile.

Lando grinned apologetically, his blue eyes sparkling with amusement. "No worries! "

Ji-min nodded, feeling a blush creeping up her cheeks. Sorry for not paying attention."

Lando chuckled, waving off her apology. "Not a problem at all." giving her a friendly nod before continuing on his way.

As Ji-min watched him disappear into the crowd, she couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement coursing through her veins. Little did she know, her encounter with Lando was just the beginning of an unforgettable day at the races.

----

Ji-min's heart raced as she finally spotted her brother amidst the hustle and bustle of the Ferrari garage. Carlos stood surrounded by his team, his familiar smile lighting up his face as he greeted them with enthusiasm.

"Carli!" Ji-min exclaimed, weaving her way through the crowd until she reached him. "There you are! I've been looking all over for you."

Carlos turned towards her, his eyes lighting up with delight as he caught sight of his little sister. "Ji-min! I'm so glad you made it!" he exclaimed, pulling her into a tight embrace.

Wrapped in her brother's arms, Ji-min felt a rush of warmth and contentment wash over her. It had been too long since they last saw each other, and she cherished every moment they spent together.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world," Ji-min replied, pulling back to look at Carlos with a beaming smile.

They spent the next few minutes catching up, exchanging stories and sharing laughs as they soaked in the atmosphere of the race day. Ji-min couldn't help but feel a surge of pride as she watched her brother interact with his team, his passion for racing shining through in every word and gesture.

All day Marissa was just shivering cold so she took a nap on the garbage until That’s when Jon founded the 5 yeah old laying in the garbage and that’s when she woke up to see jon saying “hey are you okay?” And Little Marissa was crying she said No she misses her dad,Mom and her brothers and sister and that’s when Jon told little Marissa that she can be part of his family so they went to the farm house and as soon as harley got home he saw that Jon brought home and Harley asked “Jon why is there a girl on our couch?” And Jon said “oh this is Marissa she’s gonna be part of our family now I founded her in some garbage” “You what now?” Harley said in confusion “I founded her in some garbage her mom and dad abandoned her” Jon said to Harley while trying to give some food to Marissa and that’s when 4 year old phineas who also went to the store with Harley and got an bob the builder action figure and saw the girl on the couch and said SHE CAN BE MY SISTER PLEASE DAD AND BUBBA and in which they did agree to take in Marissa

Part 2

I'm not quite sure how to start a story that has pledged my family for 3 generations, so forgive me if I seem to bounce all over the place. My part of this story begins when I was 4-5 years old. I am taken care of by my grandparents,  they live in a cute, modest home in California. This home has a beautiful pool, this pool becomes my sanctuary. To this day, I am still drawn to water. This pool is where my abilities started. I remember a man who would always visit me when I was swimming. The first time I saw him I was roughly 4 or 5. I was swimming underwater and saw legs and feet dangling in the pool like someone was sitting at the edge with their feet in the water. For some reason, this person still had their shoes on. Shiny black shoes, the kind people wear when they're getting dressed up. I don't remember talking with him that day, but I saw those shoes often.

He’s my dapper lil man-

Yes he has a surname of his own, I like giving my pets proper names, bc it’s both cute and respectful ^^

His Adoption Story

So story with him, once upon a time I decided I wanted a kitten, specifically a Black Cat/Kitten, bc as a (Eclectic) Witch I know they’re Good Luck, supposed to ward off evil.

I tried the Animal Shelter, they had a few but then wouldn’t allow me bc my Apartment Building, for those who’re Disabled sadly requires cats have their front claws removed.

I get it, it’s wrong, but those are the rules!

Anyway so I called the Vet that my bio mom’s cat went to, bc I saw an advertisement about kittens available- I asked if there was any black kittens available? They said yes! And that he had two calico (or was it tortoiseshell?) sisters! But I wanted the black one, the boi.

So after that me and my friend (at the time) drove to the vet, but it was closed. :-(

But then sometime later (day or days?) my bio mom called and said at the vet there was a black kitten for sale/adoption- it was the same kitten as before!

So I came to see him- and when he was on the counter he hissed at this other kitten (maybe his sister?) it was so cute X-3

Anyway I adopted him, named him and he goes to that same vet now for his checkups/shots.

He was 4 months old when I adopted him, he was born in August, I thiiink like August 10-12 or so? Either way he’s a Leo (fitting). August 2011.

And yes he got his front claws removed, but also fixed in the same day, bc he was little he’s never known anything else- and he still “scratches” things, getting his gland scents on things. Oc if my apt didn’t have those rules, I’d never declaw, but it’s the way it is.

Love him so much- even if he’s naughty sometimes, like how he takes extreme personal offense if I have the audacity to Sneeze or even have a snuffy nose (which is why when I’m sick he is NOT allowed in my room)

Here’s a few recent rl photos of him:

How did you and goose meet?

I was looking for an orange-haired buddy who could keep me company in my flat, and Goose was looking for a nice warm house and a lot of food (and mugs to steal tea from). He was waiting in a nearby shelter from which I picked him up!

He is originally from a different place in my country, but they move the animals around to make sure all shelters have enough on offer. So I am super lucky he was placed near where I live! I had been looking for a cat for about 2 months when I adopted him.

''Fun'' fact, when I was on the bus on my way home from the shelter with Goose in his basket next to me, I grabbed my phone to take my first every picture of him. I noticed I got an email from uni - it was the 'so there's this new thing called COVID-19 all classes are online until further notice' email. I knew COVID was a thing while I was looking for Goose, but it hadn't arrived in my country when I started perusing the shelter websites. Accidental great timing that I got him right before all the lockdowns started. Online classes are much more fun with a cat on your lap.

Shut Up and Listen: Why I Identify As an Adoptee

I hadn’t started to think of myself as an “adoptee” until recently. I was just me. My biological father died before I was born. My biological mother showed varying degrees of interest and disinterest in me at variable intervals throughout my life. My grandparents though, by the time they were legally able to adopt me at 14, were my parents, my only parents. Am I grateful to my adoptive parents…

I'm rewatching Cate and Ty's episode of "16 and Pregnant"...

Just a few notes:

Not that it matters, but Cate's Mom was exactly right about how it would affect Cate.

I really believe Brandon and Teresa originally wanted the same thing that Cate and Ty did for their adoption journey.

I wonder that if the cameras were not there, if Cate and Ty would've backed out of the adoption at the last minute. They waited 5 hours to let B & T meet the baby, and they really seemed to put off the hand off (understandably). Even if they were just trying to get as much time as possible and would not have backed out, I sense that B & T were very worried by this, and it may have been the first "tick against" Cate & Ty.

The next "tick against" Cate & Ty was likely going forward with Teen Mom. This made Carly's identity muddy in the eyes of the audience, and I could see how this might make B & T nervous. They had no way to anticipate this during "16 and Pregnant" (neither did C & Ty).

It's all so complicated, and I really feel for both sets of parents. It's just easier to sympathize with Cate and Ty because we've been watching their side of the story since the very beginning, whereas B & T are largely silent. I would love for Carly to speak about her point of view, when she is older and ready.

Almost Aborted: Hope's story

Five Years of Freedom for Bishop!

Five years ago, I was a motorcycle mechanic and tow truck driver. There was a dog shelter at the site of my former motorcycle club’s clubhouse. I started volunteering there and eventually adopted one of the dogs that I used to walk. The rest is history. Bishop was 6 at the time, and had had a really rough life. When I used to volunteer at the shelter, I had a hard time dealing with all the…

A Love Note in the Attic Addressed to Me

“I found an unmarked, dusty old cardboard box in my mother’s attic. It was full of mementos, souvenirs, old letters, family heirlooms, newspaper articles, and postcards. At the bottom of the box was a faded envelope with a note addressed to me. The paper was brittle, and the writing looked amateurish as if it had been written by a child many years ago.” Judith Land  ��Unbreakable family bonds are…

Danny Fenton sends Superman a fan email in which he asks for advice. In it he says he is also a non-human hero (he is vague because being a ghost is illegal) Danny mentions that he is being raised by humans. His parents don't know about his activities or species and hate his kind.

Danny was mostly looking for advice on how to make people stop being scared of his non-human characteristics. But Clark really sees himself in this teenager's email. He knows he was lucky to get parents who loved him even as an alien, but he also recalls being young and scared that would change.

So they start regularly exchanging emails, and Superman becomes a kind of mentor even if Danny refuses to tell him anything about his identity.
