Alright, my first KH story and it was done in a rush. Promise when i free, i'll rewrite it and repost it. I dedicate this story to my friend Alana Rose. She gave me the idea of Dem Dem puppy! ^-^

I own nothing here this time except my OCs.

Ximara's POV

I sighed as I walked back to my room. It's Christmas once again and it's killing me not being able to be with Maria for the holidays. Out of nowhere, Xion grabbed me my hand and dragged me away from my destination.

"Xion, where are we going?"

"You'll see Ximara!"

I followed her without much thought. Christmas just couldn't get more exciting. Besides, I'm rarely happy if Maria wasn't with me. We walked to the dinning room and just because I wasn't looking, I received a shock and fell down on my back when a loud "Merry Christmas" greeted me.

"Ximara, are you alright?" a voice greeted me.

I froze. That was Maria's voice. I looked up and saw Maria smiling and offering me a hand. Everyone, including those from Destiny Island, was all here!

"How did all of you get here?" I asked.

"Roxas," was the easy answer.

"What about Xemnas?"

"He's cool with it!" Riku replied.

Once I got off the ground, Maria walked over the huge Christmas tree and picked up a present wrapped in sliver paper and a green and red ribbon. I looked at it curiously and she smiled at me.

"Ximara, here…" she smiled as she gently dropped the present onto my lap.

I curiously opened the beautiful wrapped package. Once I opened the lid, I heard a whimpering sound and I quickly looked inside. I couldn't believe my eyes. It was a small brown puppy. When I took it out, its eyes met mine and I instantly fell in love with it.

"I knew you would like it!" Maria smiled. "Her name is Sorax."

"Sorax?" Sora shouted. "You got its name from me!"

Maria just gave him a sweet smile. I continued looking at the puppy and suddenly realized 2 things.

"You finally realized it?"

"Maria, she looks just like Demyx and what's this?"

"Just look."

I examined it and realized it was a bracelet. Maria herself was wearing a matching one.

"That's a Christmas present for you too…"

I couldn't suppress a smile. This was the best Christmas ever. I received a puppy and a bracelet!
