"Three more stops!" Giggled an excited Rachel. Next to her sat Quinn who at the moment was staring at my phone that was laid out on top of the table in front of us.

"Ha!" She cried out happily as the spinner stopped.

"God Quinn, I don't think any more kids can fit in your car. At this rate you're going to have to upgrade to a bus" I laughed.

"What? I like the idea of a big family." She shrugged

"Quinn, you're a teacher with a 60k salary, have a stay at home husband and now 6 kids." I repeated earning a giggle from the person next to me.

"7 kids" corrected Britt.

"Don't hate because you don't have any kids yet." Laughed Quinn. I spun the spinner quickly and cheered.

"Hey I now have a dog. Psh kids are overrated" I laughed.

"Better be a rescue" said Rachel

"Your turn Britt" I said elbowing the girl next to me. As grateful as I am that Quinn pulled Rachel into the seat next to her, I was trying so hard not to think about the person sitting next to me. Our legs were touching and at one point her head was on my shoulder, which in turn caused her body to lean against me. I was so sure she could hear my heart drumming loudly. Luckily, Quinn was able to take my mind off things by telling me she wanted a rematch in the game life that was on my phone.

"Oh yay! I have grandkids!" said Britt

"Wait how?" asked Rachel, "You don't even have any kids!" laughed Rachel.

"I don't know. The game said I am a grandmother and gave me a life card"

"I always thought Quinn would be a grandmother first" I joked.

"Ugh. Of course, every one of my kids needs to go to basketball camp!" said an annoyed Rachel, "Spoiled brats" She pushed the phone back towards Quinn who was still laughing at Rachel's luck.

"Next stop Fishguard!" said a voice on the loudspeaker.

"Alright that's us" said Rachel as she started putting her jacket on.

"Finally!" answered Quinn. "my legs were starting to fall asleep."

"San, could you pass me my jacket?" asked Britt.

"Oh, right" I said quickly. I had forgotten that I placed Britt's jacket and mine closest to the window so we'd have more room. I quickly grabbed it and handed it to her along with her gray beanie.

"Thanks San" She said appreciatively. I nodded at her.

"Will you two stop staring at each other and get ready! The train's stopping" groaned Quinn loudly. I glared at her as my cheeks burned. I looked down and put my jacket on quickly before grabbing my bag. I will totally get back at Quinn later. Britt and I followed behind Rachel and Quinn as they lead the way off the train. Only a handful of people exited the train with us. We looked around the station and walked towards the nearest exit.

"Great it's raining!" said an annoyed Quinn.

"Wow, you take me to the most beautiful places" I responded sarcastically to Quinn. The station looked pretty old and was in need of desperate repair. Quinn smacked my arm before following Rachel.

"The shuttle should be around here" said Rachel. We all looked around until a few minutes later Britt said, "I found it"

We all turned towards her gaze and spotted a van a few feet away with a Preseli Venture sign on it.

"Good job Brit!" Squealed Rachel. "Now let's go before it leaves us!"

We were greeted by a man and woman who were nice enough to grab our bags and place them in the back.
