Disclaimer: I dont own Kingdom Hearts... If I did, would I be a drooling over Axel and Demyx? Okay anyone would... But still I have the games! That's it! I paid!

Please read the comments after the story.

I stood in the 13th line-up of the Walmart, holding onto the Guitar Hero III for Demyx and a discount sweater for Marluxia and Larxene. I really hated Christmas... I'd rather recieve gifts than give them. A small noise distracted him from my train of thoughts. It was a little girl, who was waiting anxiously.

A little girl, who was in front of my, held a shoebox and a large jar of coins in her tiny hands, jumping a little to keep herself from pacing. Her clothes were worn and old. She was filthy from head to toe. When the girl's turn came to pay, I waited for her words, and I was more than surprised at what she had to say.

"Sir, I want to buy these shoes... For my Mama, please... It's Christmas Eve, and these shoes are just her size... Could you hurry, Sir? ...Daddy... says she doesn't have much time, you see, she's been ...sick...for quite a while... and I know these shoes will make her ...smile..." The girl said through tiny sobs, "and I want her to look beautiful... if ...if Mama meets Jesus ...tonight..."

The cashiers counted the coins for what seemed like years... "There's not enough here..." one said as she searched her pockets so very frantically, then looked back at me. "Mama made Christmas good at our house, but most years she just went without... Sir, what am I going to do...? I just have to buy her these Christmas Shoes." the lime-haired child said with silvery tears in her mix-matched ice-blue and jade-green eyes.

I laid the last five dollars down. She tugged on my shoulder and gave me a warm smile, and thanked me. "Mama's gonna look so great!" Her words echoed through my head as I paid for the sweater and the Guitar Hero.

"Mister!" she called out, waving, "Thank you very much!" The girl ran out through the silver-decorated doors that just slid open in her favour. That girl was selfless, and thought of only her Mama. That was Heaven... And the true meaning of Christmas.

As I bagged my items and stopped to throw a toonie at the Salvation Army, I realized what song was playing through the store.

It was Christmas Shoes... That little girl and her mother really were angels...

I decided to walk to the second-hand book store and buy Zexion a new novel... I felt like a new person since I met that girl...

Sora here,

This was inspired by "Christmas Shoes" by Kenny Chesney. I was posessed for an hour and a half... If you've mine and Zexi's "Sitting With Shadows", I used Sciallxat instead of the nameless little boy in the song.

Sorry Zexi, but this story was wriiten one-hundred percent by me, Sora.

Please comment! I want to know if I did a good job or not!

BTW, this not like an OAV or anything... It was a random, random, brain-blast.
