Hurky: Hey everyone and welcome to the second annual holiday story thingy also my last story published in 2006!! I was going to write this one last year but I ran out of time.

Riku: Starring me, Riku!! I shall rule the world!!

Sora: Yeah right, Riku. Be sure to check out Hurky's first Christmas story, 3 Holiday Wishes. It 's last year's story.

Kairi: And now the disclaimer!!

One sunny afternoon on December 23rd, Sora, Riku, and Kairi were hanging out at Sora's house. They were trying to figure out what to get who for Christmas. Kairi had done all her shopping the day after Thanksgiving, Black Friday, where people would wait outside shopping malls and department stores at three in the morning for the stores to open at four just to snag a few good deals. Kairi had done that. As soon as she finished eating her Thanksgiving dinner, she and her mom sped to the mall to wait all night. Sora and Riku had only bought a few presents.

"I just need to get Ryo and my dad a present." said Riku. "Ryo likes jewelry but I gave her some last year."

"How about a nice, romantic night where you guys go to dinner and a movie?" asked Kairi dreamily. Personally, she would have loved something like that from a guy. Particularly Sora.

"I don't know." Riku said.

"How about a gift card from the hardware store?" croaked Sora in a raspy voice.

"What's wrong with you?" asked Riku.

"Nothing." lied Sora. Well, his throat was feeling sore, but he didn't want to show signs that he was getting sick right before the holidays. His mom would make him spend all day Christmas Eve and day in bed. It happened to his older brother, Ethan, one year. Sora knew he would soon be plagued with a bad headache, a stuffy nose, and congestion but for now, it just hurt for him to talk. He unwrapped a cough drop and popped it into his mouth.

"I think those things make sore throats worse." Riku muttered. Suddenly, his cell phone rang. Riku took out his cell phone and saw who it was. "Oh man, it's Ryo. Gotta go. She wants me to come with her to see Santa Claus."

Sora's bright blue eyes brightened. "You're gonna see Santa?" he croaked excitedly.

"Yeah." said Riku. He sighed. "I told Ryo that I thought Santa didn't exist, so she's taking me to Christmas Town to see him."

He walked out of Sora's house without another word and got into his car. He shivered under his black jacket. The weather wasn't normally this cold on Destiny Islands. It was about 50 degrees Fahrenheit and people were used to the seventy to eighty degree weather year round. Last year, it had snowed, but only because Sora had died and granted three holiday wishes. You'd have to read that story for the rest of the details and events. But right now, rain was in the forecast for today, tomorrow, and Christmas day.

Anyway, before we trailed off, Riku started his car and drove home, where he walked into the kitchen to find his mother peeling potatoes with a blonde haired girl. Riku jumped when he saw her.

"Ryo!!" he said.

Ryo looked up, saw Riku, and her face brightened. "RIKU!!" she said.

"Hi, Riku, sweetie!!" said Mrs. Thompson, Riku's mom. "Have fun at Sora's?"

"Me, Sora, and Kairi just sat around and talked about gifts." explained Riku as he went to the fridge and took out a soda. He pulled the tab and took a long drink. He loved to drink soda.

"Rep is going to be here in time for dinner." said Mrs. Thompson as she poured the potatoes into a crock pot. "This stew has to be ready by the time he gets here."

Riku rolled his eyes. "Who could forget?"

Rep was Riku's evil twin brother. He was seriously evil. He has made several attempts to kill his twin in the past 17 years. They were meager attempts at first like trying to drown Riku in the bathtub, which was why their parents never let them bathe in the same bathtub, to poisoning him in the later years. But despite being an evil genius, Rep hardly had any friends and was not lucky in love. He was rejected by every girl he asked to dances while Riku was constantly chased by fangirls.

"But Riku and I are leaving for Christmas Town around then!" Ryo said as she got up and took Riku's arm into her hands.

"I don't think you two should be bothering Santa Claus." said Riku's mom. "He's very busy, especially now that he has to go all over the universe in about 24 hours."

"Don't worry, he's a very good friend of mine!" explained Ryo. "I have known him since he started his business. He enjoys my company!"

Ryo was 1,014 years old but she looked like a ten year old. She was still considered to be very young in her home world.

"If you insist." said Mrs. Thompson. "Be home by Christmas Eve!!"

"We will!" said Ryo. "Come on, Riku, we need to go to the gummi ship!!"

Before Riku could say anything, Ryo grabbed him by the arm and ran to her big pink gummi ship where they strapped themselves in and Ryo blasted off into the cloudy Destiny Islands sky...

Hurky: I know that first chapter was corny, but hey, this story needs an intro. Thanks for reading!
