Chapter One

"Do I have to wear it?" Roxas asked. Yuna nodded. "Christmas is a special occasion, Roxas, so you have to dress formal." Yuna said, handing Roxas a set of clothes. "Now, go upstairs and get changed."

Every year, Roxas's parents would throw a small Christmas party and invite their closest friends. It was sort of, like, a tradition in their family.

"All right." Roxas turned and walked upstairs. Yuna was Roxas's mom. Yuna had short brown hair that almost went down to her shoulders and unusual but beautiful eyes. One of her eyes was a bright blue while her other eye was a dark green.

Roxas entered his room and saw his older brother, Sora, in front of the mirror. From what Roxas could hear, Sora was muttering curses under his breath as he examined himself in the mirrior. Sora was wearing a dark red cotton short sleeved shirt and a pair of dark washed jeans. A black tie hanged loose around Sora's neck.

"I'm not used to wearing these sort of clothes." Sora said, fixing his tie. "Or ties. Can you help me, Roxas?"

Roxas threw the set of clothes he was holding onto his bed and walked over to Sora to help him fix his tie. "Are these you're own clothes?" Roxas asked. "Hell no." Sora said, shaking his head. "Mom picked them out for me. But I gotta admit this is better than wearing a tuxedo. What did mom get for you?"

Roxas looked over to where he left his clothes and picked them up. "Um, a black cotton short sleeved shirt...And a pair of dark washed jeans as well." Roxas said, holding up the jeans. "How come you don't have to wear a tie?" Sora asked. "Oh, right..." Roxas picked up a white tie off his bed and showed it to Sora.

"Well, go and get dressed then. I gotta go and help dad finish setting up the decorations." And with that, Sora left the room. The two of them shared a bedroom but neither of them didn't mind.

Sora and Roxas were fraternal twins. They did look similar, but Sora had spiky brown hair and blue eyes, while Roxas had spiky blonde hair with blue eyes. Even though Sora was older than Roxas by only five minuets, it still gave him the title as the eldest.

As soon as Roxas was done dressing up, he ran back downstairs, almost colliding with someone who was going the opposite direction. "Whoa, watch where you're going, Roxas!" Tidus said, almost tripping backwards as Roxas rushed passed him. "Whoops! Didn't see you there, dad." Roxas said, smiling apologetically. "It's fine. But would you mind going to the kitchen and helping your mom?" Tidus asked. "The guest are going to be here soon and I still need to get dressed."

"No problem!" Roxas said and ran over to the kitchen. Tidus was their dad. Tidus had dark blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. His hair was flat and reached just to his ears.

The first thing Roxas saw as he entered the kitchen was his mom taking off her apron and tossing it aside. Yuna was wearing a bright green, strapless cocktail dress that went down to her knees with a matching pair of dark green high-heeled shoes. Roxas noticed that Yuna's hair was loosely curled. "Nice dress, mom." Roxas commented. "Oh, thanks!" Yuna said, smiling. "Can you set up the plates in the dinning room?"

In the middle of the dinning room was a huge table, big enough for ten people to sit around it and on the table was several plates of...

"Food!" Sora said, rubbing his hands together. "Time to dig in! I'm starving." Sora rubbed his stomach and made a grab for the plate full of fudge. But before Sora's hand reached the plate, Roxas smacked his hand away. "Ouch! What was that for?" Sora asked, rubbing his hand. "I don't want to be blamed for eating the food before the guest even arrived." Roxas said as he set the table. "Here, help me with this, will you?"

Sora helped Roxas as the two of them set the table with their mom's expensive China plates. Yuna didn't use her China plates much and only brought them out during special occasions.

The sound of the doorbell ringing ran through the house. Tidus came running down the stairs wearing a blue cotton shirt and a pair of black pants. Yuna followed Tidus out into the hall and opened the door.

Zack and Aerith was standing outside with Kairi standing between them. All three of them were shivering from the cold but was smiling widely. "Merry Christmas!" They all greeted in unison. "Merry Christmas to you too!" Yuna said, hugging Zack, Aerith and then Kairi. Tidus shook hands with Zack and hugged Aerith and Kairi.

Yuna and Tidus had known Zack and Aerith ever since high school. All four of them soon grew close and became good friends with one anothere. Now, Zack and Aerith are married and live just down the road with their daughter, Kairi. Zack had black hair that somewhat stuck out at the back and blue eyes.

Aerith had green eyes and long brown hair that was usually tied in a braid with a pink ribbon. Aerith loved gardening and her back garden was always full of blooming flowers during the Spring and Summer.

"Do you know where Sora and Roxas are?" Kairi asked. "They're over at the dinning room." Tidus said, pointing over to the direction of the room. Kairi thanked Tidus and left the adults to talk. Back in the dinning room, Sora and Roxas were almost finish setting up the table. Sora almost dropped the plate he was holding as Kairi gave him a big bone crushing hug.

"Oh, I missed you so much. Sora!" Kairi said, hugging him tighter. "K-Kai-Kairi! Can't b-breath!" Sora gasped. Kairi quickly let go of Sora. "Roxas!" Kairi said, running over and also giving the blonde a bone crushing hug. "I missed you too, Kairi." Roxas said, patting Kairi's back.

Kairi had auburn hair that went down to her shoulders and soft blue eyes. Right now, Kairi was wearing a pink dress which had a black ribbon tied around her waist and a pair of black flat shoes. Kairi's hair was tied up with a pink ribbon, identical to the one her mother had.

Kairi let go of Roxas and looked over at the table full of food. "Oh, God, I'm starving!" Kairi reached for the nearest plate of food which was a plate full of chocolate-chip cookies.

"Not until all the guest arrive!" Roxas said, taking back the chocolate-chip cookie from Kairi's hand. "You're starting to act like mom." Sora said, smirking. Roxas rolled his eyes. "Whatever. At least I don't look like a pig when I eat."

"Aww, thanks...Wait, what?" Sora asked, confused. Kairi giggled. "Not you. Naminé." Roxas said. Kairi gasped and smacked Roxas's arm lightly. "Don't call her that!" Kairi said. "You shouldn't call Naminé names. Why do you two hate each other anyway?"

"Remember Sora and mine's eight birthday?" Roxas asked. Kairi nodded.

FLASHBACK

It was Sora and Roxas's eight birthday. Sora, Kairi, Roxas and Naminé were all outside at Sora and Roxas's back garden, enjoying the sunshine while their parents stayed inside in the kitchen, drinking one of Yuna's homemade lemonade. Sora and Roxas's back garden was huge. There was even a swimming pool in the middle of it.

Kairi and Naminé were playing with their dolls in one corner of the garden while Sora and Roxas admired their new presents. Sora was hoping to get a new bike for his birthday and he couldn't be happier when he did. It was a simple red bike with a matching red helmet.

Roxas, however, was more into skateboarding than riding bikes. So for his birthday, Yuna and Tidus got him a skateboard and, of course, a helmet to go along with it.

Roxas hopped onto his skateboard while Sora hopped onto his bike. Roxas kept falling off but that didn't stop him. He knew if he practiced, he was bound to get good at it. Sora, on the other hand, was doing really good. He was peddling slowly and looked like he was about to fall off but so far he hasen't.

Roxas watched as Sora got off the bike and take off his helmet. Roxas had to admit for someone riding a bike for the first time, Sora was really good. The back door then opened and Yuna walked outside. "I made some more lemonade. Do you kids want some?" Yuna asked. Kairi and Naminé both got up and walked inside.

"How about you, Sora? Roxas?" Yuna asked. "No, thanks!" Sora said. Yuna looked over at Roxas. Roxas shook his head. "If you want any, there's some inside." Yuna said before going back inside.

"Can I have a go, Sora?" Roxas asked. Sora thought about it for a moment and then nodded. Back then, Roxas was much shorter than Sora. Sora helped Roxas onto his bike, making sure he didn't fall off. Roxas's feet barely reached the pedals.

Roxas began riding the bike slowly around the garden. Roxas's wasen't half bad. In fact, he was doing quite good. Roxas's peddled a bit faster. Sora watched, impressed but then Sora's face fell as soon as he saw where Roxas's was headed. "Roxas, watch out!" Sora shouted.

Too late. Roxas accidently ran over Kairi and Naminé's dolls. Sora ran over to Roxas and helped him get off his bike. As soon as Roxas got off, he kneeled down next to the remains of the girls's dolls. "Think they'll notice?" Roxas asked. After getting no answer from Sora, Roxas looked up. Sora was staring at Kairi and Naminé. Kairi and Naminé were both standing in front of Sora and Roxas, each of them holding a plastic cup full of lemonade.

Kairi was just standing there, looking horrified. Naminé was worst. Naminé was glaring daggers at Roxas. "Yeah, they noticed." Roxas said, answering his own question. Naminé forced a smile and walked over to Roxas. "I-I c-c-can e-ex-explain..." Roxas stuttered. Naminé shook her head and poured her drink at Roxas's head. "Oh, that's it!" Roxas's growled.

Before Sora and Kairi knew it, both blondes were tugging each other back and forth. Kairi tapped on Sora's shoulder and pointed to where Roxas and Naminé were heading. The pool. "Roxas! Naminé! Let go!" Sora and Kairi shouted together. "Gladly!" Naminé shouted and let go of Roxas. Roxas stumbled backwards, falling into the pool. Good thing Roxas knew how to swim.

Suddenly, Yuna came back out again. "What's going on here?" Yuna asked. She looked over at the pool and saw Roxas getting out. "And why are you soaking wet, Roxas?"

All eyes turned to Naminé. Roxas smirked. Sombody's in trouble...

Naminé looked up with Yuna with innocent eyes. "Roxas's a klutz." Naminé said. Sora and Kairi snorted while Roxas's face fell. Oh, somebody sure was in trouble. Too bad it wasen't the person Roxas thought it would be.

END OF FLASHBACK

Sora was laughing so hard that he was clutching his stomach. Kairi was glaring at Roxas. "I can't believe you two would hold a grudge like that against each other!" Kairi said. "It's not like that was the only time me and Naminé fought." Roxas said truthfully.

"Remember last month when she accidentally broke my skateboard?" Roxas asked. "That's only because you accidentally ran over her sketchbook with your skateboard!" Kairi said. "I promised I'd get her a new one!" Roxas said.

The sound of the doorbell ringing rang through the house again. "That must be Naminé!" Kairi squealed as she ran out into the hall to greet her best friend. As soon as Kairi was gone, Roxas turned to Sora. "How can you stand her?" Roxas asked. "Who? Naminé?" Sora asked. "She's not as bad as you think she is. If you just got to know her, you'll realize she's really nice."

Roxas snorted. "I've known Naminé since we were kids, Sora. I think I know what she's like."

"You just know Naminé's bad side because you're always pissing her off." Sora said truthfully. "I meant, if you just got to know Naminé's good side then-"

"Whoa, wait a minuet." Roxas said, cutting off Sora. "Naminé has a good side?"

Sora rolled his eyes.


This chapter took me forever to write. Even though Zack is not in the game, I just had to add him in. Like Cloud, Tifa and Aerith, Zack is also a character from Final Fantasy VII which I don't own, by the way. Reviews are appreciated.
