Bridget again! We're on a roll! There's no stopping us now... Anyway, the voting is now closed, since it's pretty obvious who's going to win by now. And a very merry ChrismaHanuKwanzica to you! Here's Chapter 14:

DISCLAIMER: I don't own KH, and I don't own the Grinch either. And I own none of the songs in this chapter!

"String up the lights and light up the tree. We're gonna make some revelry. Spirits are high, so I can tell- It's Christmas time in Hell!" Emme sang loudly.

"Yeah, no kidding," Erica agreed.

Bridget came in, panting and out of breath.

"We have an emergency. Well… several emergencies. Vexen froze the punch clones instead of the ice sculptures, Sora is unconscious on the bottom of the ice rink, but it guess it's now a swimming pool, and…" Bridget said frantically.

"Bridget, calm down!" Erica shouted.

"Now, which of these do you think is the most important right now?" Emme asked.

"I'M COMING, SORA!" Bridget yelled and went off in the direction of the ice rink.

"Glad she's got her priorities sorted out," Emme said sarcastically.

"Those poor punch clones," Erica sighed, shaking her head.

Bridget came back about 15 minutes later with a very wet but otherwise unharmed Sora.

"What'd I miss?"

"Uh… nothing. That was fast," Logan said.

"Well, then I think we should get everybody together for a little competition," Erica suggested.

"Okay," Justin said.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone was gathered in the Hall of Empty Melodies waiting to start the competition. Bridget came in, late as usual, wiping her mouth off on the back of her hand.

"What's with all the fucking mistletoe? I had to kiss Pence," Bridget said disgustedly.

"Sephiroth put it up everywhere. He keeps trying to catch Logan underneath it," Erica explained.

"Dude, that is messed up," Emme said,

"Yeah. And Logan paid Cloud to be his bodyguard too," Justin added.

"Anyway, we are gathered here today, to…" Bridget began.

"It's a Christmas competition, not a wedding," Erica said.

"Axel, light the flame!" Emme shouted impatiently.

Axel shrugged and set fire to a make shift torch.

"Okay, to make it short and sweet, you are competing for the title of Holiday Cheermister, which is a not-so-cleverly-disguised award borrowed from the Grinch movie," Justin explained.

"Shut up, it was all I could think of," Bridget said hastily.

"The winner will be determined by three trials of Christmas character," Erica said.

-Challenger #1: Christmas Caroling-

"It's Christmas time again. It's time to be nice to the people you can't stand all year. I'm growing tired of all this Christmas cheer. You people scare me. Please stay away from my home. If you don't wanna get beat down. Just leave the presents and then leave me alone," Zexion sang.

"Hey! That's what I was gonna sing!" Justin pouted.

Bridget, Erica, and Emme abruptly burst out in fits of coughing, although Zexion could have sworn her heard the word "emo".

"Next!"

"Deck the halls with gasoline. Fa la la la la, la la la la. Light a match and watch it clean. Fa la la la la, la la la la. Watch your house burn down to ashes. Fa la la, la la la, la la la. Aren't you glad you played with matches? Fa la la la la, la la la la," Axel sand cheerfully.

"Pyro," Emme said accusingly.

"And damn proud of it," Axel boasted.

"Next!"

"This year for Christmas, There's something I'd really like. So if you're up there somewhere Santa, Please don't bring me another bike. I don't need any ugly sweaters. And I don't play much basketball. But there's something kinda special, That I want most of all... I want an alien for Christmas. Bring me an alien this year. I want a little green guy, about three feet high with seventeen eyes, who knows how to fly. I want an alien for Christmas this year," Sora rang out loudly and off key.

"Um… right," Erica said.

"And our last singer is Demyx," Bridget added.

"What a bright time, it's the right time, to rock the night away. Jingle bell time is a swell time, to go gliding in a one-horse sleigh. Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet. Jingle around the clock. Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet. That's the jingle bell rock!" Demyx sang, strumming on his guitar-thing.

"He wins," Justin stated.

-Challenge #2: Tree Decorating-

"Okay, for this event, you will need partners," Justin announced, moving closer to Erica, who looked about ready to go tackle Riku.

Bridget partnered up with Emme, and Logan ran screaming away from Sephiroth towards Axel.

--------------------------------------------------------------

"We are now ready to judge the trees!" Bridget shouted.

"Axel and Logan, we are sorry but lighting the tree on fire does not count as decorating, since the once magnificent evergreen has been reduced to a pile of ash smaller than any of the presents," Emme said.

"And Emme and Bridget are disqualified for using the penguin to put ornaments near the top of the tree," Erica commented.

"What? I'm not using any ladders while he's around!" Bridget said, pointing at Justin.

"So, I guess that means Erica and Justin are the winners!" Logan yelled.

-Challenge #3: Present Wrapping-

"Another event that requires partners!" Emme said happily.

Bridget and Logan reluctantly paired up (if only to prevent bad things from happening to Logan), Emme teamed up with Yuffie, and Erica went with Demyx.

--------------------------------------------------------------

"Uh… Bridget, you were supposed to wrap the box, not your brother," Sora said.

"So? He got on my nerves, so I wrapped him up to keep him quiet," Bridget explained.

"How come your box isn't wrapped, Emme?" Justin asked.

"Oh, we were supposed to wrap it?" she asked, surprised.

"I thought we were supposed to jump out of it and yell 'BOO!'," Yuffie said.

"That means Demyx and Erica win," Riku said.

"And that means that Demyx gets the award!" Bridget exclaimed.

"Yay!" Demyx said happily, running up to claim his award.

"If only my punch clones were here to see this…"
