Equestrian Girls: A very Steaming Christmas

Chapter 2

As Sunset walked into the Coach, she was surprised what, or better who she saw there. There were Pinkie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity and, surprisingly, Twilight. When Pinkie saw here, she was quickly pulled to the 6 girls. Pinkies smile was as broad as ever, but the other five Girls were having a hard Time to swallow that they were on board of an Steam Train that was running on the Road. Pinkie soon started to bombard Sunset with Questions.

Pinkie: OH, I'M SO EXITED, ARE YOU EXITED, I BET THAT YOU ARE, THIS IS SO GREAT, WERE TRAVALING ONBOARD OF AN STEAM TRAIN TO THE NORTH POLE AND WERE GONING TO MEET SANTA...

Twilight: Pinkie, could you please stop this for a Moment? We need to think about what to do now.

Pinkie: But all we have to do here is to enjoy the ride while were on our way to meet Santa.

Twilight: But that's about it. As far as I know, the North Pole is way to far away for a Steam Engine to travel, and its to cold up there too. The fire would freeze and so would the Water. And the North Pole doesn’t have any Rails, were the Engine could run.

Girl: But this is a Magical Train. It don't needs those things, when its Magical.

Twilight wanted to say something else, when Sunset stopped her.

Sunset: Why are you even here Twilight? I thought that you were in Equestria.

Twilight: I was, but Princess Celestia wanted that I should go and investigate something in the Human World named 'Santa Claus'. When I got through the Mirror, I was standing directly in front of the Train. And when the Conductor told me that Santa life’s at the North Pole, I quickly got on board.

Suddenly, a boy said something and all the Children got to the Windows on the right handed side of the Train. The 7 Girls, curious as they were, looked out of the Window, and looked at the same Shop where they stood this afternoon.

RD: The Kids only want to see the Toys In the Shop, that's all.

Twilight: I think it looks great, just like Ponyville on Harts Warming Eve.

Suddenly, they heard a Voice behind them and saw the Conductor with a Hole puncher in his hand going along the Coach

Conductor: Tickets Please, Tickets Please!

All the Children and the Girls got back onto they're seats. The Conductor got to Sunsets Seat.

Conductor: Tickets Please.

Sunset was nervous. She knew that she couldn't ride on the Train if she didn't have a Ticket. But She did the right thing and shock her Head, for saying that she didn't had on.

Conductor: And in you Pocket?

Sunset put on hand in her left Pocket, only to see that a big hole was at the bottom of the Pocket. She shook her head again.

Conductor:(annoyed) Maybe in your other Pocket.

Sunset put her hand in the right handed Pocket and stopped death in her Tracks. She could fell something in her Hand. She pulled the object out and gasped. In her Hand was a Golden Ticket, on one side was the Name 'Polar Express' and on the other Side was a Image of the said Train. She gave it the Conductor and with an quick 'Thank You' he began to make Holes in the Ticket. Some of the snippets flew into her hair and eyes, but she quickly got them out of it. After he made a few Holes in her Ticket, he walked over to the next Person, but then Walked of too the other End of the Coach, were some Kids and Pinkie Pie were Playing with an old speaker.

Conductor: “You there, don't play with that. That is an Loud Speaker, and not a Toy.”

Rainbow Dash came over to Sunset with her own Ticket

RD: Well, he's being a show off with that Hole Puncher of his. Looked what he made into my Ticket (Shows her the Ticket) LO, why didn't he made a whole Word in it ?

After that he Punched nearly all the Tickets, but needed to get to the Loud Speaker before he could finish the others.

Conductor: “Next Stop is 100 1344 Eddbrooke Avenue, Next Stop: 100 1344 Eddbrooke.”

He said and got out of the Door. Some Kids looked out of the Window, as were Rainbow, Twilight and Sunset. They stopped at an old looking House, with no Decorations at all. Infront of the Train was a Boy who was nearly as old as they were, with short brown Hair and Glasses in front of his Eyes. Rainbow snorted.

RD: He's only picking up another Passenger. Strange, I thought we were the last ones.

They saw how the Boy was backing away from the Train and how the Conductor was saying “Suit Yourself”. With a jolt, the Train steamed away from the House. The three girls were Watching after the Boy. Suddenly, the Boy started to Run! He run after the Train, desperately trying to grab the Handrail of the Coach. The three girls shouted to him that he could do it, but he tripped and fell, face first, into the Snow. The Girls pulled they're Heads into the Coach.

Sunset: We must stop the Train.

Twilight: But How?

RD: What about the Emergency Brake ?!

Sunset: Rainbow, you're a Genius!

Sunset raced to the End of the Coach and pulled a Red Lever. The Brakes grabbed the Wheels of the Train locket firmly and the Train screeched to a Standstill. They fell onto the Floor of the Train with an nasty BUMB.  They could see that the Boy got on board the Train. Sunset wanted to ask him to get into they're Coach, but he got into the Empty Saloon Coach instead. There was a rumble behind them and saw the Conductor getting into the Coach.

Conductor:(angry) Who in the Blazes had pulled the Emergency Brake ?!

Boy in Yellow Pyjamas:(Pointing at Sunset) She did it!

Conductor:(looking angrily at her) You! (Walking towards her) You should know at your age, that the Pulling of the Emergency Brake is only allowed if there is an Emergency! (Walking to the Window,opening it and Waving to the Driver) And you should know, that its 5 Minutes before Christmas! (The Engine Whistles and the closes the Window, walking back to Sunset) For you, Christmas might not be so important, but for others it is, and we are some of them!

He nearly screamed at the End of his speech and Sunset only spluttered for Words. Pinkie walked up to them.

Pinkie: She only Pulled the Brake so that the Boy could climb aboard.

The Conductor looked first at here, that at the Window in the Door, and saw that the Boy was sitting in the other Coach. He then looked back at Sunset.

Conductor: Is she telling the Truth?

Sunset nodded her head, and Pinkie did too. He calmed himself down and began to walk to the front of the Coach.

Conductor: Well then, I will let it slip. But I was never late with my Train, and tonight will be no exception. And now all you go to your seats, please.

Everyone got back to they're seats and looked at the Conductor.

Conductor: Thank You.( Taking the Speaker in his hand.) If any of the Polar Express Passengers has any needs of refreshments, he or she should notify himself by putting one Hand in the Air.

As if by Magic, all the Hands were up.

Conductor: I thought so...

He opened a Door and out came several Waiters danced out. As they were Dancing along, they and the Conductor were singing a Song.

Waiters: Hot! Hot!

Conductor: Ooh, we got it!

Waiters: Hot! Hot!

Conductor: Hey, we got it!

Waiters: Hot! Hot!

Conductor: Say, we got it!

Waiters: Hot chocolate!

Waiters: Hot! Hot!

Conductor: Oh, we got it!

Waiters: Hot! Hot!

Conductor: So, we got it!

Waiters: Hot! Hot!

Conductor: Yo, we got it!

Waiters: Hot chocolate!

As they were Singing, the Waiters turned the Seats around, so that the Coach looked like a Dining Car.

Conductor: Here, we've only got one rule:

Never ever let it cool!

Keep it cookin in the pot,

You've got-

Conductor: Never ever let it cool!

Waiters: (Never ever let it cool!)

Conductor: Keep it cookin in the pot,

Out of the Door came a Carriage with an strange looking Machine on it, which shot Hot Chocolate out of the openings, and into the Mugs of the Kids. Pinkie Pie hide one of here Mugs under her Seat, which wasn't that Suspicions, since she had already 10 empty Mugs on the Invisible Table of the Waiters apron.

Waiters: Hot! Hot!

Conductor: Ooh, we got it!

Waiters: Hot! Hot!

Conductor: Hot! Hot!

Waiters: Yeah, we got it!

Waiters & Conductor: Hot chocolate!

At the End of the Song, the Waiters put the empty Mugs away, put they're Aprons on and Turned the Seats back in the right direction. The Carriage was pushed away and the Conductor closed the Door behind the lot. The Kids were all sitting there, filled to the brim with Hot Chocolate. Rainbow Dash let out an loud burp, but that was Topped by Pinkies one. It was so lout that the Windows nearly broke. Pinkie got out of her seat, and pulled out the Mug of hot Chocolate. She began to walk to the Door when she heard Twilights voice.

Twilight: Where are you Going?

Pinkie: I'm going to give the Boy in the other Coach some Chocolate.

Twilight: But its dangerous to go from one Coach to another without a Crew Member of the Train.

Pinkie: I think I can manage

Sunset: Are you Sure ?

Pinkie didn't said any more, and just stud there. They then heard the sound of Heavy Shoes. Pinkie turned around to looked at no other than the Conductor, standing right behind her.

Conductor: Did the Lad in the last Coach got any Chocolate ?

Pinkie shook her Head.

Conductor: Well, than lets give him some!

And with that, they got out of the Coach, and into the other. Sunset looked after them. She then heard Rarity talking to Fluttershy.

Rarity: I do say Fluttershy, isn't that Pinkies Ticket ?

Sunset jerked her head into the Direction of the Empty seat. There was an golden Ticket, lying on the Seat. Sunset walked over and took it.

Sunset: This is Pinkies Ticket! (Inspecting it further) And it wasn't Checked jet!

Sunset looked over to the Door and walked towards it.

Applejack: And where are you going ?

Sunset: I'm going to bring Pinkie her Ticket.

And after that she walked out of the Door.
