The Polar Express
(St. Freya)
The Valkyires and I were in our Pajamas in the living room ready to watch "The Polar Express". My favorite Christmas movie. We had a fire lit at the fireplace. Christmas decorations were all around. And we had our Christmas tree plus my Lionel Train model of The Polar Express running underneath our Christmas tree.
Patrick: "The Polar Express". One of my favorite Christmas movies.
Kiana: It's a great movie based on a book.
Seele: Liliya, Rozaliya, Bronya Onee-Chan and I have seen several Christmas movies at Cocolia's Orphanage.
Mei: A lot of people love it while some people hate it.
Theresa: It's about a boy who goes to the North Pole on The Polar Express train and makes friends.
Patrick: And he is played Daryl Sabara the guy who played Judy from "Spy Kids" and Rex from "Generator Rex". There is also Tom Hanks who plays the conductor and Santa Claus and did the motion capture for the hero boy instead of Daryl Sabara. There is also Eddie Deezen who plays the know it all. He was Mandark from "Dexter's Laboratory" and he was Ped from "Transformers Robots In Disguise" 2015.
Himeko: The movie has some good songs too like the hot chocolate song.
Fu Hua: the boy wanted proof that Santa Claus was real. So he gets his proof from The Polar Express.
Patrick: I've been watching "The Polar Express" every year since I was a kid. I remember when I watched the trailers, then watched the movie in theaters, and then read the book. Then I got the Lionel train which is running underneath our Christmas tree now.
We turned to the Christmas tree and saw the train running.
Kiana: Having a train running underneath the Christmas tree is a great addition.
Patrick: I remember when I first came to St. Freya my parents and brother mailed me some of our ornaments and my trains.
(Flashback)
(St. Freya, December 2014)
We were decorating the place for Christmas while also decorating the Christmas tree. That's when a package came in at the door.
Himeko: It's a package. It says it's for Patrick. It's all the way from his family from the other side of the planet.
Patrick: It's great that they thought of me.
Himeko hands the package to me. It was a big box. I opened it up and first thing that I took out was a note.
Patrick: "Dear Patrick, we miss you and we wanted to send you some ornaments and some Christmas stuff. We miss you and hope you are getting along with the girls. We hope you can come home soon and we hope that you are saving the world with your new friends. Enjoy Christmas with them. From Mom, Dad, and brother."
I fully opened the package and saw that it had ornaments, stocking, and other Christmas stuff.
Theresa: Woah... Nice ornaments and the other stuff.
Theresa and Himeko helped me empty the box but what surprise us what was underneath the stuff. My Lionel train of The Polar Express. The other Valkyries looked inside the box.
Kiana: Is that a toy train?!
Mei: It is.
Bronya: It's Patrick-Kun's.
Theresa: Always wanted to see a model train run.
Fu Hua: Haven't seen a model train run in such a long time.
Patrick: I've had it since I was a kid in 2007. Or was it 2008? Let's set it up.
(Later)
We had the train set up and it was running underneath the tree. Kiana and Theresa had sparkles in their eyes and around their heads.
Kiana and Theresa: Look at it run! A real model train running underneath our Christmas tree!
Himeko: It's great to add a model train to a Christmas Tree.
Fu Hua: Trains are a great edition to Christmas.
Patrick: I love trains. Always have and always will.
Kiana: At least you have parents that are thoughtful to send you things. The rest of us here are orphans.
Mei: You're the only one here who still has his parents all except us.
Patrick: I know. I'm sorry. You are family here even though you're not blood related or have the same family name but none of that matters to you.
Valkyries: We know.
After that, the Valkyries helped me put up my ornaments from home, put the other Christmas stuff from the box around, and put my stocking with the other stockings. I put on my Santa hat.
Patrick: Let's finish decorating.
(Flashback end)
Patrick: I do love trains. The Polar Express was modeled after The Pere Marquette 1225. A real life steam locomotive in America.
Kiana: That Christmas with you in the main story line of the game time line in 2014 was great.
Patrick: It was.
Kallen: Christmas is a great holiday. There's Santa Claus also known by the name of Saint Nicholas.
Sakura: It's a beautiful holiday where we spend time with friends and family.
Durandal: Even if we don't have family. We still have friends.
Liliya: And I have my sister.
Rozaliya: We have each other!
Rita: Friends and family are everything.
Captain: Yeah... friends and family.
Seele: Let's start the movie.
We started the movie on the TV. We all turned to face the TV on the couches and chairs. Then the movie started.
(After the movie)
Patrick: What a great movie it was.
Kiana: The hero children became friends.
Mei: What a happy ending it was.
Bronya: First losing the bell then getting it back from Santa Claus in a present.
Seele: Getting a sleigh bell as the first gift of Christmas.
Patrick: Speaking of which, I've wanted a replica of the bell from the movie forever since 2010 and I finally got one when Hallmark made the bell as an ornament with the finally line from the movie said by Tom Hanks. Then a year later Hallmark made another version of the bell that actually rings like a normal Christmas bell.
Fu Hua: It was a great movie. The boy named Billy learned to count on his friends.
Theresa: While the book is great and all, the movie had more action to it.
Himeko: The hero kid learned to believe in Santa Claus thanks to The Polar Express taking him to the North Pole.
Kallen: Only people who truly believe can hear the bell's sound.
Sakura: Even if Santa doesn't exist it's still fun to believe in him and the magic of Christmas.
Patrick: Like my Santa blush would say, "Remember, the magic of Christmas lies in your heart". Our hearts.
Liliya: The Hobo was a ghost who rides on The Polar Express".
Rozaliya: The train was really magical.
Rita: It was. And the movie was really wonderful.
Durandal: Even if people hate it, not everyone hates it. Some people love it.
Captain: The hero kid gets the bell in a present in the same wrapping paper and ribbon like Billy's present did.
Seele: We have each other.
Kiana: Patrick.
Kiana holds a mistletoe over us then she kisses me.
Kiana: *giggles*.
Everyone: We love you all.
And then we heard the sound of a steam train whistle. We looked outside and saw a steam locomotive passing by.
Everyone: Merry Christmas.
Theresa: Let's go to bed. Let's watch another movie tomorrow.
Patrick: And I know just the one.
So we all went to bed into our rooms then went to sleep awaiting Christmas morning.
