Street Meets Dales
An unlikely discovery
Chapter 1:
'So are we all ready to go then?' Sophie asked Tina from the other side of the bar at The Rovers. Although Tina had previously quit her job as barmaid, they were running low on staff that morning so Stella had asked Tina to do a shift which she would be paid for, so Tina agreed.
'Yep, think so.' Tina replied. 'I've booked the train tickets and Katy should have booked the cab to get us to the station this afternoon.
'Oooh, going anywhere exotic?' Stella chipped in.
'As if!' Tina laughed, 'Unless you count Yorkshire as exotic!' Stella was slightly confused, as she was wondering why on Earth they would be going to Yorkshire.
'Is Tommy going with you?' Stella asked.
'Nah, just us.' Said Sophie, 'Well, us and Katy. Ches is looking after Joseph, we decided we could all do with a bit of girly break together, we found a lovely looking B+B online, with great reviews.'
'Haha, you girls enjoy yourselves.' Stella laughed, as she still wasn't entirely sure what the attraction to Leeds was, but did not mention this. 'Don't be getting into any trouble now, will ya?'
It was coming up to one o'clock, and Tina's shift was nearly over, just then, Katy came in, and told them that the cab was waiting outside. Stella let Tina go early, thanked her for the help, and Tina, Katy and Sophie each ran back home to grab their suitcases. They met back at the Rovers, got in the cab, and away they went.
About an hour and a half later, the girls arrived in Leeds and were met by a pre-booked taxi that was ready to take them to the B+B. I was about three in the afternoon when they arrived in Emmerdale village.
'What a pretty place.' Katy commented. It was safe to say that they thought it was much lovelier then the cobbled streets of Weatherfield, with the surrounding fields and greenery.
'The pub looks lovely; we'll have to check that out later.' Tina decided. The others agreed that they would visit The Woolpack later, and see if the standard was as good as The Rovers!
The taxi pulled up outside the Pollard's B+B, and Tina, Katy and Sophie were greeted by Amy and Victoria, who offered to carry their bags inside for them since Eric was busy preparing the food for later and making sure their rooms were nice for them. Sophie and Katy were going to be sharing a room with two single beds, whereas Tina had her own, since you couldn't book a room with three single beds and they all agreed that because Tina was the oldest she should have the room to her self. Amy and Vic made sure that everything was ok with the rooms, chatted with the Weatherfield girls for a bit as they were of similar age, then left them to settle in. Victoria offered to give them a tour of the village the next day, which Tina, Sophie and Katy happily agreed to.
