Elsa's eyes widened and her jaw dropped as the elves instantly resumed their cheering. She turned to the others in great surprise. The Conductor looked at her with an expression that said "I told you so" even better than words could. Honeymarren and Kristoff looked happy for Elsa, but Ryder looked quite shocked. Santa put the bell in one of his pockets as he walked toward his sleigh. Right as Elsa was about to follow him, she was suddenly pushed off the ground by half a dozen elves, who supported her from her back side as they walked her closer to Santa's sleigh. They then gently set her back down on the ground feet first as Santa stepped into his sleigh. He motioned for Elsa to come closer. She walked toward the sleigh and stepped into it, standing in front of a sitting Santa. He put his hand on her back.

"Now, what would you like for Christmas?"

"Me?"

"You."

Elsa knew she could have any gift she could imagine. But after all she had been through, the idea of getting any one of the things she and Anna both asked for last year that she didn't get seemed trivial. The thing she wanted most was not inside the giant bag. She came close to Santa and whispered in his ear.

"The thing that I want the most is that bell. It brought back my Christmas spirit, and I wanna remember that moment. It was a very powerful, important moment for me. Wouldn't you agree?"

"Mm. Yes, indeed."

Santa directly faced Elsa.

"Yes, indeed!"

Santa and Elsa stood up and faced the crowd. He took the bell back out of his pocket and held it high in the air.

"The first gift of Christmas!"

Everyone cheered louder and longer than ever. It could be heard from over a mile away. Santa got down a little lower so that he was at direct eye-level with Elsa.

"This bell is a wonderful symbol of the spirit of Christmas, as am I." Santa chuckled. "Just remember, the true spirit of Christmas, lies in your heart."

Right as Santa placed the bell in Elsa's open palm, the clock started chiming. They turned and saw that it now read 12:00, midnight. It was now Christmas Day.

"Merry Christmas."

"Thank you."

"Better keep that in a safe place." Said The Conductor.

"Of course." Said Elsa as she put the bell in her pocket.

As she stepped out of the sleigh and went back to rejoin the others, The Conductor took another look at his pocket watch. The arrow was going back and forth between the "On Time" and "Late" sections. "STILL COULD BE LATE" appeared one word at a time at the bottom. The Conductor winked, which Santa knew was his way of saying "Time to go". Santa sat back down in the sleigh as elves cleared the runway and Elsa and The Conductor rejoined the others.

"Hey! Hey, Elsa, are you lucky!" Said Ryder.

As the last of the elves cleared the runway, a glowing rainbow-colored whip materialized in Santa's hand. He struck the reindeer with it, and they started flying up. After a few moments, the sleigh started moving.

"Pull, Comet! Pull, boy! Prancer, that's a girl!"

The sleigh started picking up speed as more and more of it got lifted off the ground. A group of elves stacked on top of each other and pushed on the back of the gift bag.

"Good boy, Donner!"

As the sleigh reached the end of the runway, it caught air and started flying. The passengers and the elves all watched in amazement as the sleigh flew through the air, zipping around the area like it was a piece of cake.

"Now, Dasher! Now, Prancer and Vixen!"

Santa took the whip back out and hit the reindeer more as they steadily started picking up more speed. The sleigh went downhill and zoomed a few feet above the crowd, making it rain magic sparkles where he was moments ago.

"It's everything I dreamed it would be!" Said Honeymarren.

"Could all... Could all this be nothing but a dream?" Asked Kristoff.

"No way. This is real. I see it, and I believe it." Answered Elsa.

The sleigh looped around the tree. As it reached the top, Santa struck the star with the whip, and the whole thing started glowing even brighter.

"To the top of the roof, to the top of the wall! Now, dash away, dash away, dash away all!"

In a flash, Santa and the sleigh disappeared in raining orange and purple magic sparkles. There was a long, kind of awkward silence amongst the crowd. The passengers looked baffled, but the elves looked positively surprised. The elves then all grabbed their hats and threw them in the air like it was a high school graduation and cheered, for another Christmas was successful!

"All aboard!" Yelled out The Conductor as the hats rained back down. The Polar Express then blew its whistle twice and turned on its front light. It was now time for everyone to come home.
