Riku ran onstage of the Mind of Riku set wearing a suit and tie. The stage was decorated with holly and christmas lights.
"Hey everyone, and welcome to the Mind of Riku Christmas Special!!" he said.
The audience cheered.
"Now we're going to have a few people over for dinner and they'll be bringing stuff." said Riku. "Let's hope they bring some good stuff!"
"Hey Riku!" said a voice.
Riku turned around and saw Roxas, Namine, Pence, Olette, and Hayner walking onstage. The guys were wearing suits and the girls were wearing fancy dresses. Namine's hair was even fixed up. Each of them were carrying a covered bowl or casserole dish. Pence was carrying a platter.
"Oh yeah, you guys were going to bring the ham!" said Riku.
"I hate ham." said Olette. "They slaughtered poor, innocent pigs for this!!
"And let's be thankful." said Riku. "Those pigs let us sacrifice them to be delicious, juicy Christmas hams!"
"My mom made some green bean casserole." said Roxas handing Riku the casserole dish he was holding. "She says I make it taste funny."
"Hey, where is that lovely ham?" asked Namine.
"Right here!" said Pence, lifting up the cover to the platter he was holding only the reveal that there were a few bones left.
"What happened to the freaking ham?" asked Hayner.
"I don't know." lied Pence. He let out a burp. Hayner took a sniff of his breath.
"It's ham alright!" he said angrily. "LET'S BURN HIM!!"
"NO!" cried Namine. "You can't kill Pence just because he ate the ham!"
"But it was the main attraction of Christmas dinner." Roxas pointed out.
"Hewwo!!" said a quacky voice.
Everyone turned to see Donald and Goofy walking onstage, carrying a fig pudding.
"What the hell is that?" Riku asked in disgust.
"A figgy pudding!" said Goofy, taking a drink of rum from a large bottle.
"Fig pudding, you dumbass!" said Donald, whacking him on the head with the pudding platter.
"Ow..." said Goofy. Suddenly, he stumbled all over the stage.
"Oh why did I invite those two?" moaned Riku as he clapped a hand to his forehead. He forgot those two always clashed. He turned to the audience. "As you all know, a week from Christmas is not only New Year's, but also the one year anniversary of the publication of Mind of Riku and my birthday. However, Hurky isn't ready to have me turn 18 so I'm staying 17 for another year!!!! That sucks!!"
"Knock knock!!" said a familiarly deep voice.
Sora and Kairi walked onto the stage. Kairi was carrying a platter.
"Hey guys!" said Riku. "Nice outfits."
Sora was wearing a suit and Kairi was wearing a red and white dress with a sprig of fake holly in her hair.
"So what's for dessert?" asked Riku.
"We brought you plantains!!" said Kairi.
Riku was silent for a minute. "Plantains?" he finally said. "What kind of a Christmas dessert is that? Where's the pumpkin pie?"
"Me and Kairi decided that we should try something different for a change." explained Sora.
"BUT CHRISTMAS IS NOT CHRISTMAS WITHOUT A PUMPKIN PIE!!" yelled Riku as he grabbed Sora by the shoulders and shook him.
"Man, Riku sure does not know Christmas traditions change every now and then." said Roxas.
Hurky ran onstage, wearing a pink dress and carrying a ham and pumpkin pie.
"Guys, will you all shut up?" she yelled.
Everyone stopped bickering.
"Thank you!" said Hurky. "I heard about the pumpkin pie and ham situation, so I ran to the store and got these. Sorry Sora, Kairi, but plantains do sound weird."
"HO HO HO!!" said a voice.
"What was that?" asked Namine.
Axel, dressed as Santa, fell in from the roof and hit the ground. He dusted himself off and stood up.
"HO HO HO, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!" said Axel. "Got it memorized?"
Everyone laughed.
So, after many mishaps, everyone was seated at a long table with all the food on it.
"But there is one important thing about Christmas." said Riku to the audience. "It's all about having your friends and family all around to celebrate with you, no matter how annoying they get!"
"RIKU!!" said a voice.
"What the-?" asked Riku.
Ryo ran and and glomped Riku.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" screamed Riku. "Get her off me!!!"
"But Christmas is no fun without Riku!" said Ryo. "He brightens us all year long!!"
The audience went "Awwwwww..."
Ryo sat down and Riku turned to the camera.
"Have a safe and Happy Holidays from me, Hurky, and the rest of us!!" said Riku. "Sorry if this chapter was short. Laters!!"
"Hey, those are my lines!" said Hurky.
"Riku can say it, it's his show!" said Axel. "Got it memorized?"
Everyone laughed.
