Finally, she reached her destination. The Crystal Heart Orphanage. Sunset went to help there every Christmas Eve. It was a reminder of what had been her, before Princess Celestia, on a visit, had recognized her talent and brought her to Canterlot Castle. Having no family, especially not in the human world, Sunset chose to help other children like her.

How kind of her.

Finally, a teenage girl at the back spoke up. Sunset had seen a lot of herself in Dawn Star. The girl was intelligent, talented, driven, and had lost her parents at age six, when they were killed in a car crash. Dawn excelled in school and was very motivated. But, to Sunset’s knowledge, she had never been adopted.

How sad.

Coming back from college had been interesting for Sunset. She, for obvious reason, had stayed in town for her job as a lawyer. Showing up at the Orphanage had been a High School activity, one Sunset had continued after her return. Dawn, Sunset knew, had very low chances of getting into a good university. Sunset really did hope for the girl to do something great someday.

That's interesting and congrats sunset.

Finally getting to her original purpose, Sunset sat down in the chair near the back of the room, next to the glowing Christmas tree. All the children sat around her expectantly. Sunset pulled a book out of her backpack. The Polar Express. She flipped it open. Showing the pages to the those gathered around her, Sunset began to read. The story was one that the children of the orphanage really enjoyed. That was why Sunset came back to read it Christmas after Christmas, to old and new faces alike. Some, like Dawn Star, had heard her read the tale many times, but for some, like the little girl in the front row, it was a first time. Sunset always hoped to only read the story to someone once.

I love the polar express!!! Mainly since I'm a big train lover and have a huge liking for the real steam locomotive that was based on the polar express being Pere Marquette 1225, which still runs today in the state of Michigan. I do hope to see it myself someday.
