Title: Accident on the Polar Express

I gave these characters made up names since they didn’t have names in the movie

Was Micheal the only one who had to pee after drinking all that hot chocolate? Because he was looking around seeing him anyone of the other kids were going to the bathroom so he’ll know where it is, but no one has.

So Micheal just sat there in the train seat with a very full bladder, trying not to wet himself, as the nerdy kid in front of him kept talking about everything he knew about the train they were on. Micheal wasn’t really paying attention to what he was saying, just nodded his head every time he spoke.

Micheal sat under his hands so he wouldn’t grab himself, he didn’t want anyone on the train to know he had to pee. He didn’t know any of these people, he didn’t want them to know he has bodily functions.

He kept shifting in his seat, he really didn’t want to have an accident on the train. If he was to, the train conductor would probably be furious with him.

Micheal stared out the window while the kid in front of him kept talking. He wondered how long it would take until they all got to the North Pole. He also wondered if there were bathrooms at the North Pole. Maybe when they got there he would sneak off and try to find one. If he couldn’t, he was just going to have to go in the snow. Hopefully, no one would see him.

After a few minutes of just looking out the window, he felt a poke on his shoulder.

“What did you say your name was?” The girl behind said as he turned around.

“Micheal. And you’re Grace, right?”

“Yeah, that’s my name.”

“So, what do you want?”

“Just wanted to see if you are okay, that’s all.”

“Why do you want to know if I’m ok?”

“Well, just look around. Everyone is being loud, laughing, and having fun, but you’re here sitting looking like you’re sad or something.”

“I’m fine.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yup, as good as could be.”

“Are you just one of those quiet people then?”

“Yes, that’s me. Quiet Micheal.”

Micheal really wasn’t a quiet person, it was just right now he was very uncomfortable because of his full bladder and didn’t really feel like talking to anyone at the moment.

“That’s ok, sometimes I’m quiet as well. Mind if I sit next to you?”

Micheal didn’t actually want Grace to sit next to him because she might catch on to his squirming and find out that he has to pee real bad. And what if he has an accident, it will probably get all over her.

“Are you sure? This know-it-all kid will probably drive you crazy.” He whispered.

“Oh, Dillon. I’m used to him. Before you got on he was telling me everything he’s been telling you. It’s fine.”

“Ok, you can sit next to me,” Micheal said as he scooted over so she could sit down.

“Thanks.”

Micheal was trying not to squirm that much, but it was hard because he really needed to go. He was almost on the brink of an accident but hoped and prayed that it wouldn’t happen.

“So, how old are you, Micheal?”

“T-ten.”

“I’m ten as well.”

There was more awkward silence between the two kids for about 5 minutes. Micheal’s bladder kept getting fuller and fuller by the second, making him even more uncomfortable. He knew he wasn’t going to make it to when they got to the North Pole, but he kept trying.

“Micheal, can I ask you something?” Grace questioned.

“Sure.”

“Are you absolutely sure you are ok, you look very in distress?”

“As I said before, I am fine.”

“I can always tell when something’s is wrong with somebody. If something is wrong I can try and help you with it.”

“You can’t help me with this.”

“Maybe I can, and I can’t if you don’t tell me.”

Micheal started to get really annoyed with Grace. “Grace, I’m fine! I can deal with this on my own. I’m not telling you what’s wrong with me.”

“Ok then, sorry for annoying you.”

Micheal did realize how that he was kind of hard on Grace, and he started to feel bad for blowing up in her face. She was only trying to help him. He didn’t need to yell at her like he did.

“Actually, I’m sorry Grace. I shouldn’t have screamed at you like I did. I’m just…a bit uncomfortable.”

“Do you want me to move and go back to my seat?”

“No, you don’t have to. Why I’m uncomfortable has nothing to do with you. It’s just…I can’t say.”

“Want me to get the train conductor? Maybe he can help you.”

“Please don’t. I don’t want anyone to know about this.”

It was then, when Micheal felt the first drop come out, and his heart started to race.

“Oh no,” he mumbled under his breath.

“What was that?”

“Nothing, I didn’t say anything.”

“Sounded like you did.”

“You were just hearing things.”

Micheal felt a few more drops come out, and he really started to panic. He tried to hold it in as best he could, but his eyes gathered tears from the strain.

“Micheal it looks like you’re crying.”

“Crying? I’m not crying. Winter allergies, that’s all.”

“Alright, whatever you say.”

More and more drops came out. Micheal looked at his pajama pants and realized a wet spot was started to grow. He tried to hold it in, but it was no use.

“No!” Micheal cried as a stream started.

Grace, who wasn’t paying any mind to Micheal at the time and was starring down the rows, heard this yell and turned her head. “What’s the matter, Micheal.” But she immediately saw Micheal’s pants and seat get soaked. She quickly stood up from the seat so she wouldn’t get any of Micheal’s urine on her.

Dillon heard all the commotion from behind him and turned his head to see what was going on. “Woah, you wet yourself.”

“Yeah, I think I can see that, Dillon.”

“Somebody outta get the conductor.”

“No, please don’t do that, Dillon.”

“He’s going to find out anyway. You think he’s not going to notice the huge puddle on the floor.”

“Just please don’t get him, Dillon.”

“Fine, whatever you say.”

Micheal looked over at Grace who was just kind of starring at the mess he made. “Was this what was wrong with you?”

“Yeah, I really had to pee but didn’t know where the bathrooms were, so I tried to hold it, but I couldn’t.”

“Why didn’t you ask the conductor where the bathrooms are.”

“I was embarrassed. I don’t like it when people know I have to pee.”

“You don’t really have to be embarrassed, Micheal. Everyone uses the bathroom.”

“I know that. Still, I’m embarrassed by it.”

“That’s ok, Micheal. Sometimes I get embarrassed when I have to tell someone I have to use the bathroom. But they don’t care, because they use the bathroom too. It’s really nothing to be ashamed of.”

“Well, thanks for the lecture, I guess. But what I am going to do about this?” Micheal pointed to the puddle on the floor of the train.

“I guess we can just clean it up real quick before the conductor sees. But I don’t know what we’re going to do about your pajamas.”

It wasn’t long after until the conductor came in. “Hey, what’s all the commotion about in here?” He asked as he walked in.

“Micheal wet himself! There’s urine all over the seat!” Dillon pointed to the seat behind him.

“What?” The conductor started to walk over to where Micheal was seated.

Micheal’s heart dropped to his stomach as he tried to prepare himself for the embarrassment he’s going to face once the conductor saw him.

Once the conductor did get to Micheal’s seat, Micheal held his head down, not wanting to make eye contact with him. His heart raced even faster in his chest as his cheeks grew red with embarrassment.

“Micheal, are you alright?”

Micheal still didn’t make eye contact with him he mumbled out a “yes.”

“What happened? What made you wet yourself?”

Micheal was to embarrassed to talk so he just sat there with his head still down, not saying anything.

Grace saw how embarrassed Micheal looked, so she stood in front of the conductor and said, “Micheal had to go the bathroom pretty badly, but he was to scared to ask where the bathrooms were, so he held it in. But he couldn’t hold it.”

The conductor pushed Grace out of the way and looked at Micheal. “Is that the reason?” Micheal nodded, still not looking up. “It’s ok, Micheal, accidents happen. But you really should’ve asked me. I understand you may have been embarrassed but you shouldn’t be. But this isn’t the first time something like this has happened on this train.” The conductor put his hand on Micheal’s shoulder. “Now, I’ll lead you to the bathroom so you can wash up and change, and I’ll have some people come and clean up the seat and the floor.”

“Change? I don’t have anything to change into.”

“The Polar Express is always prepared, Micheal. We have pajamas for you to change into. Come along now.”

Micheal stood up from his seat and the conductor lead him to the train’s bathroom.

oh god oh fuck
