The next (and last) stop the conductor announced was Boogie's house. Hawkeye thought he was supposed to be the last person to be picked up from home. Boogie went out of her house and she's nervous going to the north pole because she maybe lonely all by herself.

Francis: "Sorry Hawkeye, it's just another pickup."
Hawkeye: "*Sigh*"

The train stopped, the conductor went outside and met Boogie so he can ask her if she's coming to the north pole. However, she's scared to go into a journey since she might need help. So the conductor told Boogie to suit herself. Then the train started to move fast and she tried to get into the vehicle as Hawkeye watched her ran fast as she could.

Boogie: "Wait! I'm ready to go on a adventure, please don't leave me alone."
Hawkeye: "C'mon Boogie, you have to get to the train fast before it's gone. Hurry the hell up."
Boogie: "I'm trying. I don't think I'm surviving at all."

But she fell into the ground and nobody helped her since the blizzard got into her way. Hawkeye needs to find a way on how to stop the train.

Hawkeye: "Guys, we have to stop the train so Boogie can get on. We can't leave her in a frozen blizzard and there's no time to waste."
Francis: "I don't know on how to stop the train. It's too hard for me to decide. If we leave her, she'll die."
Irena: "No Francis, she's not going to die. We better do something for her quick."
Hawkeye: "*Thinking in his mind*"
Francis: "Hey Hawkeye, try pulling the brake. Maybe the train will stop and Boogie and get into it. Hurry up and do it."
Hawkeye: "You're right Francis, hoping this thing will work. Here goes nothing."

Hawkeye pulled the brake and he and the three kids fell into the ground when the train stopped. He and Irena got back up and he was lucky when he watched Boogie got into the train and she only had to sit in the back luxury. Until the conductor came to tell who pulled the brake.

Conductor: "Who in the blazes applied that emergency brake?"
Francis: "*Got back up from the floor and pointed at Hawkeye* He did it!"
Conductor: "You Hawkeye, in case you didn't know. That brake is only for emergencies only. And in case didn't knew, tonight is christmas eve. You could've got me late arriving to the north pole or time would been ran out. If you've done that, I would kick you out of the train. And christmas is not important to you, it's important to everything."
Hawkeye: "But but but but..."
Irena: "Hawkeye was trying to stop the train so Boogie can get on."
Conductor: "Hmm...I see. Excuse me, is this what happened?"
Hawkeye: "*Nodded his head*"
Conductor: "OK Hawkeye, I'm never going to kick you out of the polar express this time since you're very lucky to everything. But you must get back your seat if you want to keep yourself safe."
Hawkeye: "Agreed, thank you."

When Hawkeye got back into his seat, the conductor told everybody that it's time for refreshment.

Conductor: "OK, are there any maple city polar express passsengers?"
The Kids: "*Raised their hands*"
Conductor: "Well I thought so too, cause guess what? It's time for hot chocolate."

The waiters and the chefs came to have kids their hot chocolate. They sang the song as they turned seats into tables for them to enjoy. Irena saves some hot chocolate for Boogie so she can make her feel better as she placed it under the seat. When the song's finished after they had their refreshment, they turned back into regular seats and they gave the mugs back to the waiters and everyone and the conductor went back to their jobs. While the train's still moving, Irena took the mug from under the seat and decides to give it to Boogie to make her feel better.

Hawkeye: "What are you doing Irena? Shouldn't you be in your seat?"

Irena didn't want to lie until the conductor came to ask her what's she's doing.

Conductor: "Young lady Irena, what are you doing with that mug?"
Irena: "Just going to the back luxury to give Boogie some refreshment since they forgot about her."
Conductor: "Hmm...I see. Why not I go with so you can give some hot chocolate to Boogie so she can feel better?"
Irena: "Sure thing, let's hope the hot chocolate doesn't spill."

The two people went to the back carriage to give Boogie hot chocolate.

Conductor: "Hello Boogie, this is Irena. She is asking you if you want refreshment by drinking hot chocolate."
Irena: "Hi Boogie, would you like some hot chocolate. I think this treat will make you feel better, would you like it?"
Boogie: "Umm...yes, I would like to drink got chocolate. *Irena gave the mug to Boogie*"
Irena: "What made you interested of traveling to the north pole?"
Boogie: "Well, at first when my parents purchased a golden ticket and they told me that they wanted me to go to the north pole, I was too scared to be at midnight by myself because they might have scary stuff when I head to the polar express. But since I'm here now, I don't think it's that bad. I'm starting to like nighttime adventures."
Irena: "Wonderful, this is very good that you always love being at the polar express."
Boogie: "And to me, I want my christmas to be the perfect holiday for me and hoping Santa will come to my house with my present I won't have any worries."
Irena: "I'm glad you're starting to feel better, especially you're making new friends. Once we arrive to the north pole, we get to see the cute elves and santa claus."
Boogie: "I don't know if I can be interested, I have to find out what will happen to this."
Conductor: "You'll always be fine as you feel free watching the night sky while riding the polar express. Can I have your ticket punched?"

Boogie gave the conductor the ticket and hold punched it so he can give it back to her. They were done giving Boogie refreshment and the conductor decided to take Irena back to her seat. Until Hawkeye realized that Irena forgot to get her golden ticket punched. Then he got off from his seat, hold her ticket and showed it to the kids.

Hawkeye: "Guys, I have bad news I have to talk to talk all of you you're not gonna like. Irena forgot her golden ticket and was supposed to be punched.
Kid 1: "Oh no, we're doomed!"
Kid 2: "The Conductor will kick Irena out of the polar express if she doesn't get her ticket punched."
Hawkeye: "You're right, this can't be really good. I gotta give it to her before the conductor finds out."
Francis: "What the hell are you doing Hawkeye? You're gonna get us in trouble!"
Hawkeye: "Don't worry Francis, I could do this."

Hawkeye went outside and tried to get to the back luxury. However, it's too dangerous for him to survive and the ticket flew away from him. Then he headed back inside and opened the window to see if he could get the ticket. But it was too late since it now flew off into the dark path. When the two came back for Irena to be seated. The conductor told her to get her ticket punched.

Conductor: "May I have your golden ticket, Lady Irena?"
Irena: "*Realized that her ticket's gone* I could try too, but my ticket's gone."
Hawkeye: "*Gasped* OMG, what are you going to do to Irena now since she lost her ticket? Are you gonna kick her butt?"
Conductor: "No, I can't do that. But I'm sending her somewhere else to the train. *Looked at Irena* I'm sorry Irena, but you have to come with me somewhere important you have to know since you lost your ticket."
Irena: "Understood."

The conductor took Irena as they went back to the back luxury and went up to walk somewhere that's a secret for her. Leaving Hawkeye still thinking on how to get her ticket back. Somewhere in the dark sky, the golden ticket flew into the forest and landed into the ground. The wolves ran and it flew again, until the eagle snatched it, landed on the nest and gave it to the baby bird so it could chew but ended up spitting it out. The ticket got crumbled, turned into a snowball rolling down to the hill and it was back to normal. Until the train came and the ticket went back inside of the luxury as it landed to the air conditioner. But what can Hawkeye do to make things right?
