A Kingdom Hearts Christmas Story
T'was the night before Christmas
When all through the islands,
Sora, Riku, and Kairi
Could not shut their eyelids.
---
"But I swear that he's real!"
Sora shouted with glee.
To which Riku replied,
"Psh, oh Sora, please!"
---
"But he's real and I've seen him!"
Sora exclaimed.
"Riku, please!" Kairi said,
"Give him a chance to explain!"
---
"I've been to all worlds; I'm the keyblade master!"
Sora said as he sat,
Riku rolled his eyes,
"There's no arguing that…"
---
Riku sighed
He, too, taking a seat
"Okay wise guy, let's hear it —
I'm sure we're all in for a treat."
---
But before Sora began
Kairi spoke up,
"Sora, you'd better not be lying,"
To which Riku cracked up.
---
Sora glared for a moment
Before regaining composure
Then drew a quick breath
To start his story over.
---
"It all started in Christmas town,"
Sora told with emotion
But was not able to finish
Due to a commotion.
---
"What was that!?"
Kairi cried,
Riku pointed to the window,
"I think it came from outside!"
---
The trio darted with speed
Bursting through the front door,
Not quite sure what they were seeing
Down by the shore.
---
"You told me you beat them!"
Kairi yelled as a gust of wind blew.
Riku looked over to Sora,
"Uhh, I thought we did, too!"
---
For down by the shore,
Up high in the sky,
Were Organization XIII,
Somehow able to fly.
---
It was true,
All thirteen were there.
Xemnas, their leader
Shouted their names out with care.
---
"On Roxas! On Luxord!
Now Xibar and Vexen!
Zexion, Saїx!
Lexaeus, Axel, and Xaldin!"
---
"Lastly Marluxia, and of course Larxene!
Oh Demyx, too!
And hurry my friends,
It's a quarter 'till two!"
---
"Alright!" Sora shouted,
His keyblade at hand.
"Sora, wait!" Riku stopped him,
"There's something up, man!"
---
Sora looked back up towards the sky,
To see Riku was right.
"What are they doing?"
Kairi asked out of curiosity rather than fright.
---
Kairi asked the right question
As it was a really strange sight,
To see all thirteen members
Landing on rooftops in the middle of the night.
---
"Xemnas, what are you doing!?"
Riku ran out into the night.
Sora ran after him,
Holding Kairi's wrist tight.
---
"Riku, wait up!"
Sora called as they ran across town.
Kairi let out a small yelp,
"Stop going so fast; I'll fall down!"
---
Sora slowed his pace to a jog,
Which gave him a chance to see
Axel on the nearest rooftop —
He was jumping into the chimney!
---
Sora and Kairi sprinted towards the window
They dropped to their knees
And peeked over the ledge
And gasped at what they could see.
---
Axel was standing in front of the tree,
With lights twinkling brightly,
He set down a few gifts
Onto which bows he tied tightly.
---
Sora then spotted Riku
As Axel flew up the fireplace,
"Riku, they're —"
"I know." Riku replied with a smirk on his face.
---
The three then looked up at Xemnas,
Who floated over head,
The amber eyed man gazed at the trio,
Opened a dark portal and said,
---
"Come now my friends!
There's no time to waste.
There are other worlds to be visited,
So please, let's make haste!"
---
Slowly, but surely,
All thirteen returned.
They flew through the portal,
Not one looked concerned.
---
"Well," Sora blinked,
"That was certainly odd,"
"You got that right,"
Riku said with a nod.
---
"Hey, let's go home!"
Kairi said, not wanting to linger.
"Wait just one minute!"
Riku held up a finger.
---
Sora looked up at his friend,
Whose face was all smirks,
"If Santa really exists,
Why'd he give his job to those jerks?"
---
Kairi giggled so loudly
That Riku told her to shush.
Sora; unable to speak,
Could do nothing but blush.
---
"But Riku, I —"
"Nuh-uh; No Sora, no but's!
Kairi and I are going home,
You can stay here or join us!"
---
Sora stood for a moment,
Then chased after the two,
"Hey wait up!
I've still got my story to tell you!"
---
One thing you should know,
Is the moral to this story,
And it's not one of humility,
Honor, nor glory.
---
It's one about judgments,
And pre-conceived notions
About those we believe
To have no emotions.
--
Though Nobodies are known
To not have their hearts,
They still have their memories;
That's where emotions start.
---
Though they have no hearts,
The Organization knew one thing;
The spirit of Christmas
Wasn't just about gift giving.
---
The spirit of Christmas
Was about everyone caring,
Coming together,
And all people sharing.
---
And even if it meant
That for just one night,
The Organization
Had to give up their fight.
---
They'd get together
And spread Christmas cheer
To all the worlds,
Both far and near.
---
Though the next day
They'd go back to their plan
To obtain Kingdom Hearts
And gain the upper hand.
---
Maybe Sora, Riku, and Kairi
Would learn from that night
That the worlds could be a peace,
And give up the fight.
-insert lol's here-
XD
I came up with the idea for this on a whim, and I couldn't be happier with the result.

Merry Christmas! 8D
