Chapter 7: Making Transportation Fancy

Finally, the chase began; the train started going downhill at extreme speed, and the gang quickly dashed towards the locomotive just as Uniqua and Tasha tried to catch Pablo and Tyrone with their arms. Apparently, all 8 of them were going at the same rate of speed. As the gang got closer and closer to the locomotive, they had to jump over every gap between each passenger car. Chris looked back and saw that Uniqua and Tasha were just a few yards right behind them! "Don't let them catch up!" Martin yelled in agony. After jumping over all 10 passenger cars, the gang finally got to the locomotive; Uniqua and Tasha both screamed as they saw Flat-Top Tunnel coming right towards them! They both dodged off of the train and jumped clear just in time before the train entered the tunnel. The gang dived into the locomotive's coal tender and rolled all around uncontrollably inside the huge mountain of coal. Just like Uniqua and Tasha, they were able to get into the coal tender just seconds before the Polar Express entered Flat-Top Tunnel. And luckily, everybody was alright. The 6 friends picked themselves up and got inside the locomotive's cab; they were all covered in coal dust. Once they were all inside the locomotive's cab, Diego walked up and shut the door. He also locked it in case Uniqua and Tasha tried to get inside later on. The 6 friends were all relieved for the brilliant success they made so far. They brushed the coal dust off of their clothes and decided to continue their fun inside the locomotive. Diego got out Rescue Pack and reached for the leftover hot chocolate. The gang got out their cups and drank more hot chocolate with small marshmallows. Alicia looked at her watch and saw the time; It was 11:00 PM. Martin told the gang that it's been a long night filled with hot chocolate, skiing and mermaid chases. He told Pablo, Tyrone, Diego and Alicia that him and his brother will drive the locomotive for the night and suggested to the kids that they all hit the hay. Pablo accepted this, and so did the others. Diego reached into Rescue Pack and pulled out 4 sleeping backs as well as 4 pillows. He, his sister, Pablo and Tyrone all set up resting spots for themselves and went to bed. Martin and Chris both got to work controlling the train.

Well, what do you know? The gang successfully escaped from the 2 evil mermaids, and the fun is still not over yet! Let's find out what the gang is going to do tomorrow morning on Christmas Eve! Will the Polar Express finally arrive at the North Pole, and will the gang get to visit Santa Claus? See if you can find out in the next chapter of "The Amazing Adventure"! I own nothing.
