Okay, I know I wrote this story last year as a one-shot...but I couldn't resist adding this chapter because we didn't exactly see what Roxas and Xion did on their first Christmas with Axel and the rest of the Organization. I also have one more bonus chapter I want to add after this one, so stay tuned :)
Also, be sure to check out this year's Christmas Special Riku Rides the Polar Express, the first chapter is already up, and for the thrilling conclusion of Give Me Your Heart for Christmas! Only two chapters left, with the next chapter due up sometime next week and the finale scheduled December 23, 2013!
"Hey guys, Roxas here!"
"And I'm Xion!"
"Lea, got it memorized?!"
"Last year, you got to see how Xion and I discover what Christmas was during our stay in the Organization, but what you didn't see was what happened during our very first holiday celebration!" Roxas said.
"Thankfully, we were able to put together some home movies," Xion added, "though they are in black and white and have no sound."
"Thankfully that geezer Xemnas had secret security cameras everywhere, though we now know that's why he always knew about what was going on in the castle..." Lea mumbled.
"With that, enjoy watching our first Christmas!"
"There we are clinking our eggnog," Roxas said.
"Honestly, I liked the cider better," Xion responded.
"Of course, the man who put this little shin-dig together had to put the star on top of the tree," Lea said.
"Yeah, well that's just because you were the tallest..." Roxas replied.
"Hey! I can't help that!"
"Santa Axel putting presents in our stockings!" Xion exclaimed.
"And...putting coal in Saix's stocking..." Roxas replied.
"Well... he deserved it!"
"And Vexen's?! He wasn't even alive anymore!"
"Believe me...be glad you didn't get to know him..."
"Candy cane sword fight!" Roxas exclaimed.
"That was so much fun!" Xion added.
"Where is pirate Xigbar when you need him?" Lea said sarcastically.
"AS IF I would take part in a candy cane war! Super soaker, maybe."
"Braig, you're not supposed to be in this scene!" Lea yelled.
"Sorry." (Sound of door closing.)
"Maybe I should have locked that door..." Roxas said.
"Here come other Organization members!" Xion said.
"Demyx is looking as giddy as a school girl," Lea said.
"Saix doesn't look too excited, though." Roxas said.
"He had a pouty lip as a person as well. He just wasn't as much as a prude about it back then."
"Poor Xaldin doesn't look exactly happy to be there either," Xion said.
"Ah, he's finding his way to the card table," Lea said, "Just be glad Larxene wasn't there. She probably would have struck a thunderbolt onto the tree."
"Why is it Luxord is always playing cards?" Xion asked.
"He always wants to win 'the game,'" Roxas answered.
"What does that even mean?" Xion asked.
"I really have no idea...I think Xaldin just lost, he's storming away..."
"That was fast..."
"Here we are singing Christmas carols!" Lea said.
"I remember," Roxas said, "Something about 12 days of Christmas, even though we only celebrated Christmas Eve and Day."
"And...Demyx rocking out on his sitar..." Xion said.
"UGH he was so loud!" Roxas exclaimed. "Look at everyone covering their ears!"
"And Xigbar just shot the Sitar out of his hands..." Lea said. "Ha, Demyx cries when everybody laughs! Typical!"
"There we are all gathered at the dining room table," Roxas said, "my first ever turkey!"
"Uh oh, here comes Xemnas' speech," Lea moaned.
(Reading his lips, it appears Xemnas is saying "Kingdom Hearts over and over again, based on an idea on YouTube)
"And he's going on..." Xion said.
"And on..." Roxas continued.
"And on..." Lea concluded, "Ooh! Here's the part where Demyx throws the dinner roll at Xemnas!"
"And green beans splat onto Xigbar as well," Xion said, "And he throws them back in return!"
"FOOD FIGHT!" Yelled Roxas.
"Except Saix is just sitting there pouting," Lea said, "And I-er Axel, is just sitting their eating!"
"Do you ever think about anything other than your stomach?!" Xion yelled teasingly.
"Hey! You try putting an entire Christmas together for everyone by yourself, and cooking a big meal, and see how hungry you get!"
"Empty Grey Area," Xion said, "This must have been when we all went to bed that night."
"And there's the big man himself!" Lea exclaimed. "Santa Claus!"
"So that's what he looks like!" Roxas said.
"Aw, he's leaving more presents in our stockings and under the tree!" Xion said.
"Must be morning now that people are walking into the Grey Room," Lea said, "though you could never tell since we never got any sunshine in that blasted area!"
"Nice outfit!" Xion laughed, referring to Axel's red silk pajamas, slippers, and Santa Claus hat.
"Just wanted to get into the Christmas spirit!"
"More eggnog!"
"CLINK!"
"Saix doesn't look very happy over the coal..." Xion said.
"But just look at Demyx!" Lea said, "He's crying over the golden pick for his sitar!"
"Aw, there I am opening my first present," Xion said, "I really love that gold angel!"
"I thought you would!"
"How did you know I would like those shoes?!" Roxas said, referring to himself holding up a pair of shoes that look exactly like Sora's.
"Just a hunch..."
"And a year's supply of sea-salt ice-cream! That was the gift that kept on giving! But Lea, nobody gave you a present that day!" Roxas exclaimed.
"Actually I did get one, but it was nothing you guys could see."
"What do you mean?" Xion asked.
"Just seeing the look on your faces celebrating your first Christmas was enough for me!"
"Wow Lea...that was deep..." Roxas said.
"Thanks, you should see me do Hamlet!"
"Now we get a second chance at life, and a lifetime of chances to celebrate Christmas together." Roxas said.
"Let us help get ready this year!" Xion said.
"Why not? Everybody should know how to do Christmas!"
"FROM ALL OF US AT KINGDOM HEARTS, WE WISH YOU ALL A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!"
"OOOOMF!" Hear's crashing noises. "SORRY!"
"NO ROXAS, THE STAR GOES ON TOP OF THE TREE! GOT IT MEMORIZED?!"
"THE PIE IS BURNING! THE PIE IS BURNING!"
"Not the pie!"
"HELP!"
"SQUIRREL! SQUIRREL! AHHHHHH!"
"YOU GUYS SHOULD BE BANNED FROM DECORATING AND COOKING FOR LIFE...!"
