As Rudolph entered the stadium, he saw Santa was there, along with Mrs. Claus, Boone and Doggle, Blitzen and Mitzi, Slyly and Leonard, Cupid and his doe, and all the fellow flyers.

He was waiting in the trophy hall when Zoey came in.

"Zoey, what are you doing here?"

She walked up to him. "I just wanted to see you before the race starts."

Rudolph blushed, causing his nose to glow.

Zoey giggled. She always liked it when that happened.

They went into a romantic stare until the referee shouted, announcing that the race was about to begin.

"I have to go." Rudolph said nervously.

Zoey wrapped her hoof around him. "Good luck." Then, she kissed him full on the mouth.

Rudolph felt an enormous surge of energy rush through him. As soon as Zoey pulled away, he kissed her cheek and practically ran out onto the field.

Rudolph stood next to Arrow.

"Ready to lose, Reject?" Arrow sneered. "Soon, Zoey will be all mine."

"Shut up." Rudolph said simply.

5...4...3...2...1

The referee fired his pistol, and the race was on.

Rudolph ran faster than ever before, and soon he found himself moving so swiftly that Doggle didn't even have to pull the reins.

"Go, Red! Go!" Slyly chanted.

"Show him who's boss, lil' buddy!" Leonard yelled.

Rudolph smiled as he heard his friends cheer for him.

Then he started turning the corner. His heart beating rapidly, he smoothly raced down the lane. But it wasn't long before he realized Arrow was neck to neck with him.

"Zoey still loves me more than you!" he shouted, trying once again to discourage Rudolph.

"Sorry, Arrow, but it's not going to work this time." Rudolph said, keeping his eyes ahead of him.

"Oh, yeah?" Arrow yelled. "Then how come she told me the other day?"

Rudolph rolled his eyes. "First of all, she's been afraid of you ever since you hurt her. Secondly, don't make me use my nose again!"

At this time, Rudolph noticed that he was getting closer to the turn. If I can get to that corner, I can win.

Soon, they turned the second corner and were heading towards the finish line.

"Prepare to give up Zoey, Ruddy." Arrow sneered.

This was a mistake, for as soon as he said that, Rudolph, focused more than ever to save Zoey, picked up the speed and crossed the finish line.

Everyone cheered.

"Yes!" Zoey cried. She ran down to an incredibly exhausted Rudolph, who, as soon as he saw her, hugged her, causing both of them to fall into the snow. They smiled at each other and started kissing again.

Blitzen smiled and looked at Mitzi. "Young love. Remember when we were like that?"

Mitzi kissed her husband's cheek. "Feels just like yesterday."

Arrow was sickened; both by the image of them making out and the fact that he didn't win.

"This isn't fair!" he lamented. "I demand a rematch!"

"Sorry, Arrow," Santa said, "but you can't have another race. You must give Zoey away to Rudolph."

Arrow growled. "Fine." Then he walked out of the stadium.

Slyly and Leonard rushed down.

"You did it, Red!" Slyly was jumping. "You beat your cousin and you got the doe!"

"You were awesome, lil' buddy!" Leonard said, rubbing Rudolph's head.

Then the two walked off to give the couple some time alone together.

Rudolph looked at Zoey and they lay on the ground again, with Rudolph once again on top of her.

"Well, are you ready to be with me forever?" Rudolph said.

"It's all I ever wanted." she said.

They kissed once more, making this one last.
