Note that this takes place after the events of "Sonic boom Halloween" and "Happy Birthday Boom!" Hope you enjoy.

It's Christmas eve at Bygone island. Everyone loves this time of year, love to play in the snow or shop for their love ones. The boom gang were hanging together wearing coats and scarves in the cold weather.

"I love this time of year!" Amy said with excitement.

"I know. And Sticks missed this season." Sonic commented. Sticks jumped out of the snow

"Ah Ha! Second Christmas! Snowball fight!" Sticks shouted throwing snowballs.

"I love snow. So white and beautiful." Tails said then got hit by a snowball.

"Wasn't me." Knuckles said with a smile looking guilty. Amy got hit by a snowball on the back.

"Sonic!" She said then throw one at his face.

"Why did you think it's me?" Sonic laughed then everyone got into a snowball fight. A few minutes later, a familiar dog wearing a red scarf around his neck joined the fight with a bark.

"AH! It's the Were beast!" Sticks shouted jumping into Tails' arms.

"Relax Sticks. It's just Shadow's pet. Hey little guy." Amy said petting the dog.

"Balto, come here." A familiar voice called out for the dog. Balto rushed to his owner.

"Hey Shads, happy holidays!" Knuckles said.

"Ya...'Happy holidays'." Shadow commented then walked away with his dog following.

"I hope he'll be happy tomorrow." Tails said.

"You know him. He's always grumpy even in the holidays." Sonic said.

It was night around 11:58pm, both black hedgehog and dog were at the house without decoration. Shadow laid on the couch sleeping soundly and Balto was sleeping on the floor. Shadow's ears perked making him slowly awaking up. He looked around to see his dog was still sleeping. The hedgehog yawned then his ears went crazy by the sounds from his house shaking. Plates fell off so did pictures as everything even his couch moved. He saw brights lights from his window moving very fast. He covered his ears when a train horn burst loudly.

"What's going on?!" Shadow thought when a train engine stops. Shadow cautiously came out his house wearing a blue robe and black slippers seeing something very weird.

"A...Train? In my yard?!" He shouted. He looked around to see the name of the train

"The Polar Express?" He read.

"All aboard!" A voice shouted. Shadow walked to see a polar bear wearing a blue train conductor uniform holding a lantern on his hand.

"Who are you? And why is there a train on my yard?" The black hedgehog asked.

"And you must be," Checking a list "Shadow the hedgehog?" The polar bear asked.

"Yes?" He responded.

"Well it says here that you're on the grumpy side around Christmas right?" The polar bear asked.

"So what? And what's going on?" Shadow asked.

"This is the POLAR EXPRESS! Where we take kids who's not in the Christmas mood to the North pole." The bear explained.

"You know that I'm not a kid, right?" Shadow asked annoyed.

"I can tell. But we're here to bring kids like you to be in the spirit." Shadow raised a brow

"Ya I'm not going." He said looking like he's going back inside.

"Suit yourself." The polar bear said then got in the train as it slowly goes. Shadow looked back. He never heard of this polar express in his life so maybe it's exciting. Oh well. Shadow ran to the train then got on looking at his passing house. He looked behind to see the polar bear opening a door inside.

I hope you like this so far. As you can tell that this is based off "The polar express" which I watched the movie a few hours ago and thought up a Christmas special. At least it's not the Christmas carol. I hope you like this and more will come :)
