in one of the polar express's cars, we see that everyone is talking to each other and with the park gang as jacob smiled at seeing them getting along while looking out the window

Jacob: (thinking) dad, i hope you're having fun up there. i just wish that you could be here with us, just this once.

he thought to himself as the conductor's voice was heard through the intercom

Conductor's voice: ok, everyone. since this is going to be a long trip, i'll be sending you all some hot chocolate to you all.

he said through the intercom, which made everyone smile as jacob got up from his seat

jacob: hey, is it possible to sing the hot chocolate song just like in the movie?

he asked as the conductor was silent for a few seconds and then spoke again

conductor's voice: i don't see why not.

he said as everyone heard him snap his fingers, which started the song

after the song, jacob noticed that zuzu got up from her seat and noticed her walking to the car behind them, he then looked at charlie, verosika & octavia, who nodded as they got up from their seats and follow her

(in the back car)

we see zuzu lean over the bar as she sighed sadly until...

Jacob: is there something on your mind?

he asked as zuzu turned around and sees him, charlie, octavia & verosika

zuzu: yes, it's just that after we save christmas, do you think that santa will erase our memories of what happened today?

she asked as jacob placed his hand on her right shoulder and smiled

Jacob: i'm pretty sure he won't.

he said as zuzu smiled

zuzu: ok...remember when i was little, i used to sing before-

she was cut off when jacob cupped her cheeks

jacob: it's ok, i'll allow it.

he said as zuzu smiled again and started singing the lullaby from ''Death Stranding''

once she finished singing, jacob, zuzu charlie, & octavia looked up and see the northern lights in the sky, which made them smiled at seeing it

zuzu: i always love this part of the holiday.

???: so do i.

as they turned around they see the conductor walking towards them

Jacob: oh hey, is there something wrong?

he asked

conductor: nope, just wanted to let you know that we've made it.

he said as jacob & the others leaned over the bars and see that the conductor's right, they've made it to the north pole and it's glorious and bright, which made them amazed

(like this)

Jacob: (whistles) now that is what i call a great sight for sore eyes.

octavia & verosika: agreed.

they said in unison as they walk back to the passenger car and meet up with the rest of the gang, even anti pops

end of chapter, hope ya'll liked it.
