I know it's late, but I know I still have Christmas candy left over!

Christmas morning, all of Hallow Bastian turned out bright and early to open presents. That afternoon...

"Can I come in?" Cloud asked, knocking on the door to Aerith's room.

"Sure," She opened her door and invited him in. Cloud shut the door behind him and pulled his hand out from behind his back.

"I brought candy canes!" He said with a smile.

*Outside Aerith's room*

"Ooh, Cloud, this tastes so good!" Aerith giggled.

"I knew it'd be your favorite." Cloud murmured.

Yuffie froze hearing those words as she walked down the hall. 'Oh, no, not again,…" She heard slurping noises.

Riku walked by and noticed Yuffie had a horrified look on her face. "Yuffie…Are you okay?" He then heard slurping noises coming from behind Aerith's door. His eyes widened. "Holy crap!" He whispered. "No way!"

"What's wrong you guys?" Sora wondered. "You look…" His eyes grew as big as saucers as he heard Cloud say, "See Aerith, I knew you'd like it."

"Cloud, you're too good." Aerith giggled as she opened the door to see three shocked and horrified teenagers.

"What's wrong guys? You look scared." Cloud wanted to know.

"Yeah," Aerith licked her lips. Yuffie whimpered and the three teens scattered.

"What got into them?"

*Inside the room*

"Thanks for bringing them." Aerith grabbed hers and took off the wrapper. "Ooh, Cloud, this tastes so good!"

"I knew it'd be your favorite."

They sat there on the bed just sucking on the candy canes with loud slurping noises.

"See Aerith, I knew you'd like it."

"Cloud, you're too good." Aerith stood up and opened the door. Yuffie, Sora and Riku were standing outside, with horrified expressions.

"What's wrong guys?" Cloud asked from behind her. "You look scared.

"Yeah," Aerith agreed. Yuffie made a strange sound, and Riku and Sora looked at each other, terrified. They ran.

"What's gotten into them?" Cloud asked, as he and Aerith shut the door. If anyone had been standing outside, they would have heard Aerith giggle and two thumps as Cloud picked her up and tossed her onto the bed, following.

"Now that they're gone…" he said softly.

Found this recently, so I decided to polish it up a bit. I know I haven't done much in the way of writing lately, but I think that's going to change.
