"Fancy anything from the Trolley?! Fancy anything from the Trolley?!" An unknown voice said over and over as it got closer and closer.

Kara groaned as she sat up and rubbed her forehead. Suddenly, their was a knock at their door and the door slid open. Kara turned to see who was there. There was an older woman standing there with a cart of an assortment of food and drinks. She smiled kindly when she saw Kara looking bewildered at her.

"Hello, dear. Alright?" the kind woman said.

Kara was surprised by how she replied, "Hello, ma'am. Apparently, I knackered off for some time."

"I understand. These train rides can be long and tiresome." The woman paused before she continued. "Would you fancy anything from the trolley dear?" the woman was soft spoken as she said.

Kara turned to face her before she nodded and replied, "Yes, I would fancy a spot of tea and biscuit, ma'am."

The woman poured warm tea into a cup. She took two cookies and placed them in a napkin before she carried them over to Kara. Kara smiled as she took them from her.

Kara said softly after she took a sip of tea, "Thank you, ma'am."

The woman smiled. "You're welcome, dear." The woman looked around before she continued. "Do you fancy that your friends would like something from the Trolley as well?" The woman was kind as she replied.

Kara looked around before she replied, "I am sure that my mates would fancy something from the Trolley when they wake up, ma'am."

"Alright. I will be by soon to see if you all need anything else before we arrive at the train station." The woman said before she started to walk off.

Kara quickly said, "Wait. I have a question."

The woman turned to look at Kara. "Yes, dear. What is it?" the woman softly replied.

Kara nervously asked, "Wh-where are we going?"

The woman looked kindly at Kara. "You poor dear. You must have really been knackered to forget that you lot are headed to Saint Elizabeth's Catholic Girls' Academy in Metropolis. You all were so excited when you got on." The woman replied.

Kara was surprised as she asked, "W-we were?"

The woman nodded, "Aye, but enough questions for now. Drink your tea and eat your biscuits before they grow cold." The woman was direct as she replied before she pushed the cart farther down the walkway.

Kara began to drink her tea and eat one of her cookies. She soon ate the first one and heard someone stirring from behind her. She turned and saw Lois smiling at her.

Kara smiled back as she said, "Hello, babes. Alright?"

Lois stretched before she nodded and replied, "Hello, luv. Aye. Apparently, I was knackered." Lois sat up and sat beside Kara before she continued. "Wha'cha got there?"

Kara chuckled before she replied, "Apparently all of us are knackered. An old Bird with a trolley came by not too long ago. Would you fancy splitting the biscuit and sharing the tea until she comes back?"

Lois smiled lovingly before she replied, "Thank you, luv. I would really fancy that."

Kara took the cookie and broke it into two equal halves before handing one half to Lois. Lois took the half and the cup of tea from Kara. Lois took a sip of the tea before she took a bite of the cookie. They shared the tea as they ate their halves of the cookie until it was all gone. Lois sat sideways as she leaned against Kara, while Kara leaned against a wall that the bed they shared was touching.
