(Ventus then leaves the stage while Xion makes her way over to the piano and picks up a microphone laying on top. The ebony-haired youth looks over to the blonde and nods her head. Namine nods in return before focusing back to the piano and begins to play a soft, melancholic melody.)
Xion (brings mic to her lips): Oh….
Mhmm…
Namine: Where are you Christmas?
Why can't I find you?
Why have you gone away?
Where is the laughter
You used to bring me?
Why can't I hear music play?
My world is changing
I'm rearranging
Does that mean Christmas changes too?
(Xion closes her eyes for a moment before opening them again as she sings her part.)
Xion: Where are you Christmas?
Do you remember
The one you used to know?
I'm not the same one
See what the time has done
Is that why you have let me go?
Oh…
(Namine starts playing a bit louder.)
Namine: Christmas is here, everywhere
Oh…
Xion: Christmas is here, if you care
Oh…
(Namine closes her eyes as Xion places her hand to her heart and takes a few steps forward.)
Both: If there is love in your heart and your mind
You will feel like Christmas all the time
Xion: Oh…
Both: I feel you Christmas
I know I found you
You never fade away
Xion: Never fade away...
Namine: The joy of Christmas
Stays here inside us
Both: Fills each and every heart
With love
Namine: Where are you Christmas?
Xion: Fill your heart with love
Both: Mhmm…
*Song ends and the crowd cheers and claps as Namine stands up and bows down with Xion. Backstage, everyone, including myself, has tears in their eyes.*
Me: *sniff* That was just too beautiful… (Wipe a few tears on my cheeks)
Aqua (with a hand over her heart): Such a heartwarming song…
Kairi: They were amazing.
Sora (nodding): Yeah.
Hayner: *sobs*
Pence: Hayner, you okay man?
Hayner (crying): Yeah, I *sniff* just have something in my eyes, that's all…(wipes away the tears, clearing his throat)
*Olette and I share amused looks before I spot certain spiky raven-haired character in the far back with what appears to be a ghost of a smile. When he notices me, he frowns nonchalantly and walks away.*
Me (sighing): He's definitely not one to show emotion…
