Let's pick on Sora and Riku with a Christmas Special, shall we? Oh, I'm doing the caption thing, since that is SO much easier to give notes through.
Sora sighed as he stared out the window at the light snow falling. It only snowed for a month on Destiny Islands, and was never enough to do anything fun with, like snowmen or snowball fights. All it did was frost the ground and freeze the ocean a foot in.
He stood and stretched. Everyone was coming over for a Christmas party—everyone, as in Riku, Kairi, Donald, Goofy, and King Mickey. They were going to go to the beach and party like there was no tomorrow. Best of all, Sora had gotten Kairi the best present in the world!
With a grin, he placed the small, wrapped package in his pocket and ran out the door.
"Sora! You made it!" Kairi cried, hugging Sora.
"Of course I made it! Donald and Goofy here yet?" Sora inquired.
Just then, Donald and Goofy jumped on Sora's back, making him fall face-first in the thin layer of snow. "Howdy!" Goofy shouted as Donald yelled, "How ya been?"
"Couldn't be better." Sora grinned broadly. "Hey, where's Riku?"
Kairi crossed her arms. "You know Riku doesn't like Christmas too much. He said he'd show up, but I'm not so sure."
Mickey adjusted his Santa hat. "Aw, come on! He'll show."
"Yeah!" Sora said with a laugh. "If he doesn't, I'll just"—he drew his Keyblade1—"beat him up with my might Christmas-shaped Keyblade!" He swung it wildly to prove his point, knocking the punch bowl into the air.
As bad luck2 would have it,the punch soaked Kairi. "Sora!" she screeched. Tears were in her eyes as she spun around and ran off a sticky mess.
"Whoops..." Sora whispered. He ran after Kairi, easily following her footprints in the snow. "Kairi! I'm sorry! I—" He stopped as Kairi finally stopped and spun around.
"Thanks a lot, Sora," she said between tears. "You just go back to your friends. I'll—" She stopped. This time Sora ran off. "Sora!" she called after him. "Nice one, Kairi. Get him upset."
Meanwhile, Sora was reviewing a mental list of all the things he'd messed up throughout the years. He'd 'accidentally' pushed Riku off the cliff into the water, getting his best friend in trouble when Sora was six. It was sort of his fault for Riku becoming evil. He'd crashed the Gummi with Donald and Goofy. He'd broken a lot of things, and now he'd just smashed Kairi's heart with his stupid actions.
Trying his best not to cry, he touched the pictures of himself and Kairi in the stone. "Maybe I shouldn't have been born," he whined.
"That could be arranged," said someone in the shadows.
"Who's there?!" Sora shouted, spinning around to face whoever it was.
A tall, dark, and handsome man stepped from his hiding place. "I am Mikazuki, your Guardian Angel."
"My whatsa-whoee?" Sora tilted his head in confusion. "Look, just leave me alone to mope, all right?"
Mikazuki rolled his crimson eyes and brushed back his ebony hair with a tanned hand.3 "Well, I'm your Guardian Angel. I can't leave, whether you like it or not."
"You don't look like a Guardian Angel..."
Mikazuki glared at Sora. "You don't look like some great hero that saved the world and got the girl in the end," he sneered. "We can't all be perfect, you know. So do you want my help or not?"
"What help?" Sora asked.
Rolling his eyes, he explained, "I can make it so that you were never born and you can see what it would be like if you didn't exist, moron."
"You can do that?"
"WHAT PART OF GUARDIAN ANGEL THAT CAN MAKE YOU NOT EXIST DIDN'T YOU UNDERSTAND?!"
"All right, all right, sheesh. Show me then, Mr. Great and Powerful Guardian Angel."
"Gladly," he said darkly, snapping his fingers.
Nothing happened.
"I'm glad I didn't pay for that show," Sora commented.
Annoyed, Mikazuki grabbed Sora's shoulders and spun him around to face where the carvings of his and Kairi's heads were. Now, there was nothing. "You weren't there to carve Kairi's face or for her to model a carved face after. Therefore, not there, get it?"
Sora blinked, confused. "Okay, that works. Let's see what happened to everyone then!"
Mikazuki nodded and shoved Sora none too gently from the Secret Place.
At the same time outside of Mikazuki's magical world, Riku was grumbling as he flicked through the channels. Christmas Special after Christmas Special flashed across the screen. It was Christmas Eve, after all. "Bah, Humbug," Riku quoted, turning off the Christmas Special on the last channel he received, which was ironically A Christmas Carol.4
Suddenly, the lights started flickering, and a rattling sound filled the room. Randomly, Demyx appeared before Riku, right in front of the TV. "Hiya!" Demyx shouted, waving.
"Out of the way. I'm watching something."
Demyx stared at the black screen. "The TV's off."
"It's the best thing on."5
Demyx gave Riku the Is-There-Something-Seriously-Wrong-With-You? look he commonly received from most of the other Organization members, then shook his head. He retrieved a note card from his pocket and read carefully. "Hello, insert-name-here! Introduction. I am here to warn you of the three spirits that will visit you in the next..." he checked his watch, "two hours."
"You're reading the card word-for-word?" Riku inquired dully. "What're you doing here exactly?"
"Me and a couple other Organization members needed some extra cash, since Xemnas isn't paying us anymore, and were hired by some unknown person known only as 'The Writer' to do this job.6
"Anyway," he finished, "the ghosts are coming in the next hour."
Sighing, Riku pointed out that the time was going down.
"We're busy! There are millions of people out there with less Christmas Spirit than you, and we have to get them all in one night!" Demyx groaned. "I'm already behind schedule! The other three ghosts are coming to bother you in the next half hour."
"That's not very long."
"We're ghosts; we can make it as long as we want. Later 'gater!" He vanished into a dark portal.
The only thought going through Riku's mind at that moment was, 'What was that just now...?'
1. It's the Candy Cane one from Halloween Town in KH2. I don't remember what it's called though. (anime sweatdrop)
2. Or a certain fanfiction writer. (evil grin)
3. Think HOT AND SMEXY!!!!! Not as smexy as Riku, but still smexy.
4. XD Weird, right?
5. I do say that when nothing's on.
6. I'm not referring to myself! Honest! (sniggers)
Anywho, that's the first chapter of my late Christmas Special! It'll probably still go on into January, knowing my timing and bad luck with updating. As Demyx would say, Later Gaters!
