Hey guys!

I decided to take a little break from what my original plans this holiday season were and come back to this!

Now this recreation comes from a scene in The Polar Express, when the train is on the frozen lake. Look up, "The Polar Express clip" and it should be the second one on the list.

And yes,, I know I have other suggestions, but it's the holiday season guys!

And now without further ado…

Back on Track

It was Christmas Eve and racing to the North Pole was The Polar Express, taking a group of kids to the North Pole to see Santa. So far it has been an amazing journey, the climax so far being a rollercoaster kind of ride as the train went up and down at rapid speed. As the train reached the end of the rollercoaster tracks, it went straight down into a frozen lake, where the ice was over the tracks. The train glided freely on the thick ice, still going at his fastest speed until the engineer managed to finally get control of his train and apply the brakes.

In the very front of the train was the conductor and two kids, stuck there as the train went on its fast run. As the train finally stopped, the three went to the engine's cab, the conductor, an old Blue macaw named Eduardo, shouted down at the engineer.

"What in the name of Mike!?" Eduardo called down.

Suddenly the three on top of the engine heard a noise. And one of the kids, a boy named Blu, called the other two to where the noise came from.

"Look!" Blu shouted.

The ice from behind the train started breaking apart, the train must have weakened the ice to make it break and it coming straight for the train. Eduardo quickly stopped being mad at the engineer and shouted for him to go.

"Get us the blazes out of here!" Eduardo shouted.

The engineer pulled back a lever and the train started reversing, since it turned a full 180 as it stopped. The train started backing up as the breaking ice came closer and closer.

"Turn this shed around!" Eduardo shouted from the top as the engineer obeyed.

The engineer pulled more levers, the engine's wheels stopping and allowing the train to turn in the right direction. As the train started coming in the right direction, the engineer pulled the lever again and the engine's wheels starting moving froward.

"Look there!" Blu shouted as he pointed with his wing at something ahead.

"Tracks!" Eduardo shouted. "Dead ahead!"

Indeed it was the other side of the tracks coming out of the frozen lake, the train's headlight shining on the metal as it continued to try to outrace the breaking ice from behind.

As the train moved, since it didn't have any tracks to run on, it wasn't going in a straight line and Eduardo had to give constant directions to the engineer to keep the train running straight.

"Right!" Eduardo shouted, the engineer pulling some levers, turning the train right, but it was going too right. "Left!" Eduardo shouted, the engineer changing the direction. "Right!"

"Hang a Louie! Toss a Ritchie!" Eduardo continued shouting, giving more directions as the train came closer and closer to the tracks, but the ice was still breaking and coming closer and closer… "Port astern! To the starboard!"

Meanwhile, with the two kids, Blu and the other kid, a girl named Jewel were keeping down on top of the engine, that is until Blu's slipper started to come off.

"My slipper!" Blu shouted as it came off from his talon.

In the slipper was Jewel's ticket which Blu held on from before and was keeping it there for safe keeping, but Jewel didn't know that.

"You're gonna lose your ticket!" Jewel shouted.

"It's not my ticket, it's yours!" Blu shouted back.

"It's my ticket!?" Jewel shouted as she tried to reach up and grab it.

"Yes!" Blu replied and also tried to grab the ticket as well.

As the two were trying to grab the flying ticket, Eduardo was still giving out constant directions to the engineer, to get the train back on track.

"Right. Keep up with me. Left. Right. Left. Right. Left. Right. Left. Right." Eduardo shouted down as the train was almost there…

As Eduardo was giving out directions, Blu and Jewel were still trying to grab the ticket and when both of them finally managed to grab hold, they saw the passenger cars of the train starting to sink under the ice and into the water, they both shouted out…

"Oh no!"

This caught the attention of Eduardo, who looked back to see the train starting to sink.

"Brace yourselves!" Eduardo shouted to the two kids, getting down himself to brace for the impact of the train hitting steel tracks.

As the train sunk under, instead of the icy water claiming them, the engine finally managed to get back down on the tracks. The wheels touching steel as the train finally gained traction and started going in a straight line. Climbing out of the lake, the train continued on with its journey to the North Pole, eager to get there in time for midnight.

As the train was going in a icy valley, Eduardo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, that's more like it." Eduardo said, before jumping down into the engine's cab.

And I hope you guys enjoyed this creation of this scene!

I know I'm really getting into the holiday spirit!
