The group decided to stay for another night in Bridget's house so they could explore Manchester the following day before going back to London. While eating breakfast, Nicholas asked Bridget, "How was your new life with your foster parents since you met them, love?" Bridget replied, "It was wonderful, Nicholas! They have been so kind and loving to me, and they even helped me catch up with my progress in school." Nicholas replied, "Jolly good! I'm veddy glad to hear that." This made Bridget's foster parents smile. Her mother then told him, "And she has given my husband and I lots of joy from the first time we met her. You see, I wasn't able to have any children ever since we got married." Nicholas replied, "That's awful. I feel sorry for you. Anyways, Bridget is the closest thing you have to a daughter, right?" "That's right. She truly is, and we love her dearly." Bridget's foster mother said as she hugged her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Soon, everyone started their tour of the city. It was an enjoyable experience for all of them, and they bought some souvenirs in the Manchester Arndale shopping center. When the tour ended, Bridget asked the group, "Did you have a lovely time here?" Rosie replied, "We sure did! It was so nice meeting you as well." Bridget said, "I'm glad, and same to you, Rosie! You know, during the tour, I've thought of coming with you, Nicholas, and the others in your trip back to London." Rosie replied, "Oh, certainly, my friend! You're going to love staying with us in our dorm." Bridget responded, "Great! I'm going to ask my parents if it's all right with them." After a couple of minutes, a smiling Bridget came back while flashing a thumbs up. This indicated that her parents had agreed to the plan. The foursome and the Beatles smiled back and clapped in return. Bridget's foster father also offered to drive for them instead of riding the train again, to which they gladly accepted. Everyone then rested for a few hours back in the house before starting the road trip.

As they walked to the dorm, John said, "That was an excellent trip down memory lane, innit?" Nicholas replied, "It sure was, mate." Rosie added, "And you got to meet more of your modern day fans." George replied, "That's right, darling." "We love them very much, too." Added Ringo. Upon returning inside, they all washed, changed their clothes, brushed their teeth, and went straight to sleep.

I can sense our childhood memories coming back." "And I'm veddy sure our fellow Scousers will remember us!" Said George. Rosie replied, "They will, definitely!" "First, let's go back to my house to visit me parents. They'll be pleasantly surprised to meet you all." Said Nicholas. "All right. We're excited to meet them, too!" Replied Ringo.

Rosie asked the others, "Did you all have a great time in Alton Towers?" Nicholas replied, "We sure did, love!" Ringo added, "It was fantastic indeed." "And I'm happy to tell you that while we were there, we have fully adjusted to your time period!" Exclaimed George. "I'm glad to hear it!" Replied Rosie.

The arcade was loaded with all kinds of games. There were video games, racing games, claw machines, and dart games. Upon entering, the foursome and the Beatles were given twenty-five tokens. They had lots of fun as they challenged each other while inside. George was able to beat one of the claw machines by winning a box of jelly babies, and Rosie won a keychain from a dart game. It was already getting dark as they went out of the building. The group then ate dinner and watched a musical fountain show. Ringo commented, "Wow. This is really beautiful." Rosie replied, "It truly is. It's also a great way to cap off our visit here." The others nodded in agreement. After the show ended, they went to the gift shop to buy more souvenirs as the park closed for the day.

"Are you mates ready for this?!" George asked the others while they lined up for the Roller Coaster. Rosie replied, "You betcha!" "We're on it!" Exclaimed Nicholas and Ringo. Everyone got goosebumps when it was finally their turn and as the car climbed up the steep track. Soon, it plunged down with increased speed. "Woooooooo!!!!!" They all screamed in excitement as they rode through twists, turns, and loops. The Beatles' and Nicholas' mop-tops nearly became mohawks from being suspended in the air several times. When the ride was over, the group went to a nearby kiosk to have some lemon-lime soda, which were served in souvenir tumblers. Rosie asked, "Did everyone enjoy the ride?" George replied, "Definitely! That was veddy thrilling." "...And suspenseful, too!" Added Ringo as he combed his mop-top back in place. After finishing their soda, the foursome and the Beatles decided to keep the tumblers. They then continued walking to their next ride, the River Rapids.

After it ended, John exclaimed, "That was bloody magnificent!" Rosie replied, "It sure was!" Nicholas asked, "Shall we eat lunch before going to the next ride?" George replied, "Certainly. That long bus ride made me hungry." Ringo added, "Me too." Paul said, "Well then, let's look for a restaurant here." So, the group searched for and found a pizza restaurant. They ate a delicious and statisfying meal there. Afterwards, they walked around the area to let their food digest completely before proceeding to the Roller Coaster.
