Only fools fall in love holiday special
Me: Hey guys! Well I know it's been a while since I wrote last but don't fret my pretties! I'm about to get a new laptop and that means I'll be having more fun writing which means more updates! So This chapter doesn't really go along with the story and I'm making it because well it's the holiday season and I've always wanted to do one of these and I thought I would do it this year!
Roxas: So, wait, no you can't just go and do that!
Me: Yes I can so you have to deal with it
Roxas: NO! I'll just go on strike
Me: Aww but Roxy don't do that!
Riku: Hey if he leaves can I be the main character?
Me: You know what? Yes you can! I now dub Riku the replacement Roxas!
Roxas: Yeah, yeah see if I care
Me: Alright everyone! We're going to scene twenty two where our new Roxas get's to finally kiss Namine
Riku: It's okay Roxas now I have a reason to kiss Namine without you going ballistic
Roxas: Hey you lied to me you said we weren't doing that scene until two weeks from now!
Me: So I changed my mind, so if you want your job back you know what you have to say
Roxas: Ugh…. Fine I'll say it…
Me: I can't hear you!
Roxas: Jingle bells Roxas smells Sora laid an egg, and the rest doesn't rhyme so do I have to say it?
Me: o_O
Roxas: And you are the coolest person
Me: Now was that so hard?
Roxas: Yes
Me: Well too bad you're hired!
Riku: Man, oh well, hey next story you write, you should let me be your main character
Me: Maybe if I feel like it
Yuffie: Hey we all know I'm the next main character!
Riku: Maybe if you didn't talk so much
Yuffie: Yeah right I'll be like a one woman show!
Riku: You mean a one man show
Roxas: Do you guys ever shut up!?
Yuffie: Hey what's your problem!?
Me: Well while they continue fighting, I hope you have a happy holiday and enjoy this holiday special!
Holiday special: Christmas with the gang?
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house nothing was stirring not even a mouse…..
The snow was falling hard and heavy as the gang sat around the fireplace trying to keep warm. The night was definitely going to be a long one, and yet Namine wonder what the heck made her be in this predicament? She was supposed to leave earlier that day to catch a flight with her brother to visit their mom over the holiday break. It was Yuffie's bright idea to throw a quick get together that got them in this mess. Cloud had called her to inform her that he wouldn't be able to leave the college campus because they were all snowed in and she better catch her flight if she didn't want to get snowed in as well. She should have just gone straight to the Airport but it was Yuffie and saying no to Yuffie is like saying no to a cupcake, I know impossible right?
"Well it looks like we're not leaving here anytime soon" cid says trying to look through the snow covered window, "Really? You know I'm glad you had to clarify that like the adult you are trying to be, since we can clearly see we're not leaving" Roxas mentions looking into the fine his eyes on the flicker sparks. Cid chuckles and puts a hand behind his head just letting the comment slide off his shoulder
"Hey it could be worse, we could be stuck with people we completely hate" Kairi stands up smiling trying to brighten the mood while Yuffie flares her arms about, "Speak for yourself sister! I have that stupid jerk over there, who invited him anyway?" Yuffie asks pointing at Riku who just sighs, "Did you already forget?" Yuffie just looks at him dumbfounded, "You told me to come yesterday!" he says incredulously, "Um no, I don't think I did"
"You said, I don't like you but you can come over if you want" Yuffie laughs at him, "I wasn't talking to you" she shakes her head while he crosses his arms, "Who were you talking to then?" Yuffie pauses for a moment, "Uhh… I um.. I was obviously talking to… Fred"
"Who's Fred?" Riku asks knowing the crazy answer she might come up with, "Duh Fred is the guy that sits behind you but you probably wouldn't notice because he doesn't have boobs" Riku just ignores her, "Are any of you guys hungry?" he asks looking at the group, "I'm starving!" Sora says quickly standing, with Kairi following them, "Hey where do you think you're going?!" Yuffie yells following them into the kitchen.
"I'm suppose to be on my way to visit my mom and now I'm stuck here all because we're snowed in" Namine slumps in her seat, "Kairi is right I should look to the bright side of things like at least I'm with my friends and we're at Yuffie's house so it's all going to be fine"
"Do you always talk to yourself?"Namine get's startled and turns to look over the couch at Roxas sitting by the piano, "No I don't always talk to myself, at least not out loud and it's pretty shocking that you're here, I thought Holiday parties weren't your thing" When Namine and Yuffie had gone to see Sora and Roxas earlier that day Sora was overjoyed at coming to the party but Roxas, well let's just say he was less than enthusiastic about joining the get together. He shrugs, "I didn't exactly want to come but my Aunt and Uncle don't want Sora alone incase something like this happens and we get snowed in but I brought Axel and Demyx although I don't know where they disappeared off to"
"Well I'm going to the kitchen to join everyone else, you should come" Allie smiles at him offering her hand while Aden just looks at it, "Alright I'll come with you" he says grabbing onto her hand and then getting pulled towards the kitchen where Yuffie was glaring at Riku as he pulled out all the utensils that he needed to make whatever he planed to make, "How do you know where everything is? I mean it took me a couple of days to figure out where the spoons were" Allie mentions in disbelief making Riku stop in his tracks, "It was when I spent the night here" he says casual as everyone but Yuffie falls over
"What!? You two?!" Kairi yells laughing, "I knew you liked her!" she yells pointing at Riku who glares at her, "I don't, I spent the night here because we were chained together by our crazy teacher, you know you sure like to forget that" All the excitement in the room suddenly deflates, "way to burst my bubble" Kairi pouts somewhat disappointed, "Do you really think I would ever like the likes of that jerk?" Riku smirks putting his arm around Yuffie, "Aww come on you know I'm not that bad, and hey a date won't kill you" Yuffie's mouth falls open, "Yeah a date with you will kill me and you're a jerk like I said so please remove your arm" Riku laughs, "That's not what you said the night I spent here" Yuffie smacks his arms and glares at him, "I was sleeping and you're the one that insisted sleeping on my bed so shut up Iku!"
They all laugh at the pair when Kairi feels someone tugging on her pajamas, she turns to look and see Fiona with tears threatening to spill, "Aww, Fie, what's the matter?" she asks leaning down to the girls height, "It's so snowy, how will Santa know where to find us?" Kairi is about to answer her when Demyx rushes into the room, "NO! Don't tell me that Santa won't find us!?" Roxas just stares at him like he grew another head while Axel walks into the room taking his place next to Roxas who leans over to him whispering, "Doesn't he know that Santa isn't real?" Axel shakes his head, "The poor sucker thinks Santa is real along with the tooth fairy, the easter bunny and the rest of those imaginary animals or people whatever the heck they are"
A big grin appears on Sora's face, "Hey there's no worries you guys Santa always knows where the good girls and boys are so he'll be here no worries and if you have any doubts just ask Roxas, he works for Santa you know" Roxas glares at Sora from across the kitchen as both Fiona's and Demyx's eyes light up with joy and they both run over to Roxas, "Is it true? Do you have connections with Santa?!" Demyx asks more excited than he should be, "Sure" Roxas says unenthusiastically, "YAY!" the two 'children' yell happily telling Roxas what they want for Christmas. After a few minutes they finally finish their list Roxas just smiles at them, "Alright Santa will bring you some of the stuff you asked for remember he has to give toys and presents to all the little kids out there so don't be disappointed if he only get's you a portion of what you asked for. Now off to bed before he get's here" Fiona smiles widely and runs up the stairs. Demyx follows suit and begins to run to bed when Axel grabs him by his collar, "Dem, you are way to old for this, damn I hate to tell you this buddy but Santa Claus is not real"
"I know" Demyx says smiling sheepishly while everyone sweat drops, "I don't get it then why the hell do you act as if he's real?" Roxas asks as Demyx smirks as if it was an easy explanation, "Look when you're a kid filled in a house full of older kids that know the truth about Santa Claus you begin to question whether he is real because if he was then why aren't these Adults as disappointed as the said kid is when they're stuck someplace where they don't think Santa will find them. I pretended to believe in Santa Claus to make that little girl happy" Axel smirks patting him on the back, "I see you're not so dumb after all" they all hear a tinging noise and Demyx get's super excited, "I can't wait until I get to wear my brand new-" Axel holds up his hand to stop him from speaking, "Let me guess Santa Costume" Demyx laughs like that's the most ridiculous thing he's ever heard, "No I have a rain deer consume now excuse me while I get into the festive mood" he walks out of the kitchen leaving everyone dumb founded.
"Well since we're stuck here for the Holiday we might as well enjoy ourselves" Axel sits on in one of the chairs placing his feet on top of the table in a relaxed position, "And hell if there really is a Santa Claus then I'll just wish for a snow free day" they all nod their heads as Yuffie heads for the hot cocoa, "I don't trust you making that cocoa, how do I know that you're not going to poison me?" Yuffie leans against the kitchen counter, "You know I never really thought about poisoning you but now that you mention it, it would get you out of my hair for good"
"Yeah I'd like to stay alive if you don't mind" He reaches for the pot and quickly makes the cocoa pouring it into the cups as Yuffie closely watches him, "What? Wait I know, I'm so good looking you can't look away" he suggests looking at her prying eyes which begin to narrow at him, "No I'm not into girls Rika, besides you're the one who mentioned the idea of poisoning so why would I trust you with my cocoa?" Riku hands her the mug, "I wouldn't kill you, sure you're a pain in the ass but at least you're entertaining" Yuffie looks up at him with sad eyes, "Oh so that's what I am to you? A play thing? A little monkey to entertain you when you get bored, you are an ass" Yuffie exclaims placing the mug down and stomping out of the kitchen leaving Riku super confused that was not the Yuffie he knew, the Yuffie he knew would have shot some crude rude remark right back at him.
"I'll go talk to her" Namine says rushing after her friend, "Me to" Kairi says following Namine, "What did I say?" Riku asks looking at the guys, "Women you just can't understand them" Axel says thinking of all the times he stuck his foot in his mouth trying to impress a girl, "You see what I do is I just stopped trying to figure them out, when they're mad at me I just let it go last week Larxene was mad at me over something and I just said I was sorry and she punched me and now we're good" Demyx explains smiling while all their faces drop open, "Yeah, I don't think that will work with someone like Yuffie, wait what the hell since when do I care if she's pissed at me?" Riku says shocked, "Screw it I don't care forget that if I wanted drama I would get a girlfriend"
"That's exactly why I don't have a girlfriend" Demyx says smiling while Axel laughs, "Sure that's the reason why it has nothing to do with your girly tendencies Demi" they all laugh, "You're just jealous that I'm loved by a real women" demyx sticks his tongue out at Axel, "Yeah a real Old woman" he retorts, "Is he always like this?" Riku asks pointing at Demyx while Roxas and Axel nod their heads, "How did you end up in their gang? Aren't you to nice? It's like inviting Sora along for the ride, which he'd manage to fall off of" Axel smirks, "Demyx here may seem like all fun and games but don't let that fool you, sure he's nice but he has another side to him. Demi here is one of the best fighter's that has ever challenged me. What I don't get is why you left Leon's gang when you were Clouds protege' who was eventually suppose to take his place"
Riku shrugs, "I'm a rich boy, I don't need to do anything for money and the only reason I joined with Cloud in the first place is because I was interested in becoming a better fighter. I never was interested in doing any dirty work like the guys they had working for them running stupid errands and dealing drugs. I even met Roxas over here because I was out on a mission with Leon and for some reason Leon didn't really like Roxas but hey he wasn't doing anything wrong he was just playing with his basketball on the court and Leon approached him. He talked some smack to him and Leon wanted to punch his face in but I stopped him from doing it. That little punk with his smart mouth did cause me some trouble with Cloud in how I have to listen to the more experienced. I respect Cloud and he taught me everything I know so when he left the group to get a real life I decided that I should do the same. I had already met Sora though another incident with one of the lower rank guys trying to mess with him and Kairi. So when I left the group I ran into both of them and they wanted to be friends and at first I kept to myself and the ladies but Sora and I were paired up together for some project and he was somewhat of a chick magnet as well so I decided to stick around. I may be Cloud's protege' but I don't plan on returning to that life"
"You know for being one of them, you're not to bad pretty boy" Axel says approving of Riku, "Alright enough with this girly shit, how about we make this night some fun. I propose a bet" Axel announces peaking everyones interest, "The first one of us that get's the hell out of here will win a prize and that prize can be whatever you want be it a girl or a yo-yo"
"What's the bet?" Roxas asks

Namine and Kairi walk into Yuffie's bedroom, "Yuffie? Are you alright?" Namine asks knocking on her bathroom, "I've known Riku for a long time and I know he didn't really mean what he said he's just being a jerk you know him" Slowly the bathroom door opens and Yuffie walks out like nothing had happen, "There is no reason for you two to be so worried, I'm fine I was just acting because I wanted that jerk to feel bad and I think it worked! Haha! I know I'm a genius but I do have to apologize to you two, I shouldn't have done it but he get's on my nerves so much!" Kairi laughs, "I know what you mean but you learn to live with him"
"So what do you ladies want to do?" Yuffie asks while Namine pops up from the seat she just so happened to be sitting in, "I know! Why don't we go do something like the hot tub? I don't remember what hall leads to the indoor pool/hot tub" Kairi squeals, "Yeah! That sounds like fun and we don't have to tell the boys either so it'll be like a girls only thing!" Yuffie leads them to a room that has plenty of swimsuits in it. They get dressed quickly and quietly sneak past the boys down the stairs into a separate floor and then down some more stairs to the left into a hall that leads them to the pool/hot tub.
"Alright ladies it's our time to relax and you know chat about all the stuff we haven't talked about in forever!" Yuffie announces happily while Namine sighs she really didn't want the third degree from her and Kairi asking about how things are going on between Roxas and her. She couldn't really blame them because for a while there things started to happen but since he'd lost his memory they were practically back to square one and it hasn't been moving forward. At this rate they'd be holding hands around 18 years. Okay so maybe she was being a little cynical but heck what would you do if the guy you liked suddenly forgot you? Exactly my point.
"How about we discuss how we're going to make Christmas come true for Fiona?" Kairi suggests because just like Namine she didn't want to be questioned by Yuffie on how she was dealing with Sora. Somehow in this whole equation Yuffie was the only one that they didn't really bother on any type of relationship status mainly because she spent most of her time fighting with Riku rather than finding a guy to date.
"We know that she told Roxas what she wanted" Namine mentions, "Yeah and I have plenty of stuff around the house that we can probably find that she likes and use it for her presents. I know my parents keep all of the decoration stuff upstairs and since they weren't home this holiday I figured that we could decorate the house and make it look really special for her tomorrow" Yuffie explains, "Yeah we can always get the guys to help but for the time being we should just relax because we're going to have a long night ahead of us" The girls laugh and start discussing the different type of decorations to place around the house. If little Fiona was going to have her Christmas there they were going to make sure that it was one of the best ones.

The guys sat around the fire place drinking and doing typical male bonding when the three girls come into the living room to join them, "Oh hey girls!" Demyx waves at them laughing trying not to fall over in his seat, "Have you guys been drinking?" Kairi asks placing her hands on her hips giving them a stern look making them laugh, "No, we just got Demyx to drink, he thought we were drinking but we needed him to have enough courage to do what he wants" Axel explains pushing the groggy Demyx over towards the girls almost falling over he stumbles towards them, "I'm sorry, they are just… being uhh…. silly" he says as the girls help place him on the couch, "Hey just sleep it off" Namine tells him as Yuffie pulls out a blanket and places it on him, "You're really nice, I don't know why you and Riku fight so much *hicup* but it doesn't matter you're too *hicup* good for him" Yuffie smiles at him, "Just do what Namine says and sleep it off, tomorrow you'll be just as dandy as you were before these idiots got into the liquor cabinet" Demyx nods his head and slowly closes his eyes.
Yuffie makes her way towards Riku and pokes him right in the chest, "What's the big idea? This is exactly why you can't get a steady girlfriend" Riku laughs, "No Yossarian it's more like this is the reason why you can't get a girlfriend, you're too much of a girl to attract one, maybe you're gay"
"Maybe you're a he-she because there is no way a guy like you can act like the way you do, you're too overly emotional" Yuffie turns her back towards him, "No if we're talking emotions then you should be talking to Emo boy over there sulking in his corner" Roxas' head snaps up as he look towards Riku, "I'm not sulking in a corner you're just jealous that I'm better looking"
"Oh great you just had to go and say that" Sora says stepping away from the pair, "You wish you were as good looking as me, maybe you wouldn't have been such a retard and lost your memory" Riku makes his move towards Roxas as he steps in closer to him, "Why don't you say that to my face" the two come face to face when Sora steps in-between them, "Come on we were just having a good time, let's not ruin it by fighting"
"Get out of it Sora, this doesn't involve you" Sora pushes both away from each other, "Well now it does so stop it" he says in a serious tone when they all feel something hard smack them all, "Ow!" they all say in unison as Axel stands in front of them with his handy dandy biology book, "Damn, Demyx wasn't kidding when he said that book hurts" Roxas rubs the sore spot on his head, "You all bitch like girls, stop acting like children wasn't that what I taught you on you're first day?" Roxas thinks back to the first day he was sent to train with Axel, "No you did not show me that on the first day. On the first day you didn't teach me anything you sent me through a field and said 'good luck if you don't die I'll train you', which has nothing to do with what you're teaching me now" Axel shrugs, "I thought I taught it to you, sue me. Now what was it that you ladies wanted?"
"We wanted to make this night a very special Christmas for Fiona so we wanted you guys to help" Kairi explains as Sora stands beside her still rubbing the spot he was hit on with the book, he gets a grin on his face, "Hey I can even dress as Santa Claus and surprise her! Or I could just help you decorate" Kairi pats his head, "Great idea, so Yuffie how do you want us to get started?" Yuffie shows them their storage room which is very big about the size of a football stadium, "How are we going to find the decorations in here!?" Namine asks trying to read the writing on one box"
"That's easy, it's all organized on this map that we had drawn up so we could find what we're looking for" she hands them each a map, "You do realize having these maps this accessible could pose a problem for you in the future because a place like this would be a gold mine for a thief" Roxas takes one of the sheets as Yuffie tosses her head back and let's out a loud laugh, "Yeah right! No one would dare do that because then they'd have to deal with me and we all know that I'm a ninja" She proudly stands in front of all of them leading the way to the Christmas decorations, "Are you sure we're going the right way?" Riku says actually looking at the map, "I'm going the way that my heart takes me!" Yuffie announces placing a hand on her chest where her heart would be located.
"Yossarian we are going the wrong way and your map says so" riku says handing her the map. Yuffie takes one look at it and tears it up, "Are you crazy!?" Riku yells, "Iku be quiet I know what I'm doing besides do you all think I'd give you the real map?" she questions looking at them, "Hey this broad is pretty sharp" Yuffie laughs, "I'm just kidding now hand me the map" she says while they all look at her, "Yuffie when you said you didn't need the map we just tore them up" Namine explains this nice and slowly, "Don't you just have another one?" Sora asks letting out a nervous chuckle, "No I don't have anymore, well I guess we'll have to do this the old fashion way, we'll split up and meet back here in thirty minutes just don't get lost!"
Sora and Kairi head off together in the east direction while Roxas, Axel and Namine go west. Yuffie looks at Riku, "Well I guess it's just me and you Iku! So don't get us lost" Riku narrows his eyes towards the girl as she quickly hops on his back, "Come on! Mush! Let's get a move on" Riku just rolls his eyes and begins walking down the corridor with Yuffie on his back, "I thought you're the one who's navigating us and must you take a ride on my back?" He says holding her up, "Hey it's the least you can do for being a jerk face earlier!" she sticks her tongue out at him, "Whatever, so which way are we going?" Yuffie thinks about it, "Just go straight! Nothing can go wrong with just going straight, Oh! And watch out for any blue and green buttons I forgot to tell everyone that if anyone touches them we'll be in big trouble"
"Just great, my last holiday and I have to spend it with this thing" Yuffie smacks his head, "Hey that hurt!" he says dropping her, "That hurt to you jerk!" she says rubbing her bottom, "Why did you hit me? At least I didn't call you a man this time"
"Oh like calling me a thing is any better, come on let's get a move on" She marches ahead of him, "I just hope no one pushes those buttons"

"Why are there so many green and blue buttons around here?" Sora asks Kairi as they walk down their chosen path, "I don't know but I have a bad feeling about them so let's just leave them alone besides we are here to look for the decorations, do you see anything?" Sora hops on top of a few boxes looking through their labels, "No all of these have to do with Halloween, woah! Kairi get up here!" Kairi looks up at the pile of boxes and laughs nervously, "haha um I think I'm doing fine down here" Sora looks down at her, "Suit yourself" he shrugs and begins searching through the boxes, "Sora?" Kairi waits a few moments but hears nothing from him, 'Great I'm afraid of heights and now he expects me to just go up there and join him?! Ugh, I guess I have no other choice. Come one Kai grow a pair! You know you can do it! Heck I'm a cheerleader! I get tossed in the air for baskets and this is kind of like that and Sora can always help me down. That's it just one step at a time'. Kairi slowly but surly makes her way onto the stack of boxes.
"Sora?" she says once again and he pops his head up from an open space, "Come on Kairi! This thing is cool!" He grabs her hand and pulls her with him towards a black coffin, "You wanted me to come up here to show me a coffin?" Sora nods his head enthusiastically, "Just close you're eyes" she obliges, "Sora you better not scare me" she threatens, "Alright you can look now" she opens her eyes to see Sora wrapped with toilet paper emerging from the coffin, "I'm a mummy!" he says smiling wide making her laugh, "We should really find the decorations Mr. Mummy" He nods his head, "Okay let me just put this back" he quickly unrolls his costume and places the coffin away, "I think the Christmas decorations should be around here, maybe it goes in the holiday order, so next would be thanks giving"
"Uh Sora?" Kairi hesitantly grabs onto his arm, "Yeah, is there something wrong?" he asks concerned, "You're shaking" He pulls her into a hug letting her wrap her arms around him, "I'm sorry" she whispers into his chest looking down she felt so embarrassed, "Ah come on Kai it's alright we can stay here until you're feeling better" He offers squeezing her a little getting her to smile a little, "There we go, that's the smile I was looking for" Kairi laughs a little, "You always know how to make me feel better, but the truth is that I'm afraid of heights"
"What?! How are you okay with being thrown in the air but you're afraid of being forty feet high?!" Kairi takes one look down and buries her head back into his chest, "I know it's silly but when I'm being thrown or put up into the air I know that they'll catch me, here it's like rope walking without a net. My bases who catch me are my safety net here there is none" after some time passes Kairi stops shaking, "Hey kai we're going to have to get down eventually, I know you don't have your bases or anything like that but you can think of me as your safety net. Just get on my back and hold on tight and don't look down and I promise we'll make it to the floor with no problem and the next time I want to go to a high place I'll make sure you feel safe enough to come with me" Sora looks at her face as she sighs, "Okay, I'll do it" she climbs on his back and closes her eyes.
"Okay Kai, you can look now we're back on the floor" Kairi opens her eyes, "How did you get down here so fast!?" Sora puts his hand behind his head laughing, "I just climbed down maybe you weren't paying attention or something"
"Thanks Sora, that's really nice of you" Sora reaches over and puts her in a headlock messing her hair up, "Yeah that's what friends are for!" He laughs, "Sora! Don't mess with my hair" she whines as he let's her out of his grip, "Let's go further down I think we just might find those decorations" he says running down the pathway pulling Kairi with him

"How about you two go ahead and I'll chill here" Axel suggests looking at the pair, "Are you sure you want to stay here? Why don't you just come with us, it's always fun with you around" Namine turns around and walks towards him while he puts his arms up with his palms facing outwards as if he was trying to stop her from coming closer, "No I'm good here I don't want to go looking for anything" He sways his head back and forth when Roxas smacks his shoulder, "You don't have a choice you're coming with us whether you like it or not"
Roxas had a pretty good idea as to why Axel didn't want to go with them, he probably didn't want to be a third wheel although there was no reason for him to feel that way, it's not like he and Namine had something going on together or anything like that. He just really wished that people would stop pushing them together like they were pieces of a puzzle that had to somehow connect even if they didn't fit. If there was really ever going to be something between him and Namine it would be because they wanted it, not because everyone else thought that they look 'cute' together.
"What are some things that Fiona asked for from Santa?" Namine asks as they walk down the path looking at the things crowding the storage room, "Typical girl stuff something about dolls, and a beach house with more dolls in it, what she really wanted from Santa was a puppy but I doubt Yuffie has one of those lying around here" Roxas stops for a moment to get a closer look on some the boxes. Axel hops onto another stack of boxes, "Hey I think I found something!" He yells at the pair who both make their way over to the pyro who was leaning over a box that was labeled 'christmas decorations box 1/23'.
"They sure have a lot of Christmas decorations, we should head back to the beginning and wait for everyone to show up so we can show them that we do the best work" Axel smirks going ahead of the pair purposely trying to ditch them and succeeding at it. Namine and Roxas soon found themselves alone again, "I'm guessing he's been wanting to ditch us since he started walking with us" Namine says out loud, "You know Axel, he doesn't enjoy being the third but I don't mind being alone with you. Since everyone is usually trying to get us alone together I guess we should do them a favor and just stay out of their hair for a while and maybe they'll stay out of ours" Roxas suddenly stops walking and Namine eventually notices and turns around to look at him about to say something when he stops her, "I have an idea, what do you say we just hang out here and explore some more that way we'll be out of their hair to and maybe they'll leave us alone"
"That may be a great idea but all I got to say is good luck trying to get those guys to mind their own businesses and if you knew how Yuffie is you'd know that that's practically impossible" Roxas grabs ahold of her hand and pulls her in a different direction, "I think it's worth a try besides I'm guessing it's been a while since we just talked alone" Namine blushes remembering the last time they were alone together before he had lost his memory of her, that kiss was one of the best feelings that she can't even describe in coherent words but if she had to use one word it would have to be simple put; magic.
"Hey look at this stuff" Roxas carefully opens a box filled with armor of the old days, "This stuff is cool, I think if we ever actually had past lives I would have been one of these guys" Namine takes one look at the old armor when a pain passes through her head and she grabs onto her head curling herself into a small ball closing her eyes painfully, there was something about looking at that armor that felt so real like she had seen someone wearing it in real life. Roxas drops the box's top and rushes to her side, "Namine are you okay?" He asks while she struggles to stand on her two feet, "I'm fine, I just got a massive head ache" she still holds onto her head, "We should head back then" Roxas closes the box taking one last look at the armor. He gently lifts Namine onto his back and begins their way back to the meeting point.
Suddenly blaring Alarms start filling the whole rooms and gas starts pouring in, "WHAT THE HELL?!" Roxas yells looking at the blaring red lights. He begins running out of the place but soon everything starts to fade to black, "I have to get us out of here" he says struggling to stay away getting closer and closer to the exit, "Just a little farther" He finds himself at the entrance of the storage room only to find it completely locked. He musters up all his strength and begins pounding on the door, "Hey! Let us out… of ….Here!" He manages to yell slipping onto his knees, "Namine? Are you awake?" He asks looking at her peaceful face, she was already gone. Roxas leans his back against the door looking around trying to see if he could see any of the others.
The darkness began to engulf him when he saw a person with a mask walk towards him, 'Maybe it's death, maybe it's finally come for me after all of these years… After everything that I've done even the things I don't remember…. at least I'll finally be free….'

The masked person takes a look at both of them then runs a hand through it's hair, the person makes their way towards the door pressing a big red button that opens the storage room, quickly clearing it from the gas that had just engulfed it. Another masked person walks towards the first, "I wonder who tripped the switch" the masked voice says. The first masked person talks off the gas mask, "It's all clear in here" she says taking a whiff of the air as the other masked person takes off their gas mask, "I see what happened" Riku says pointing towards Axel and Demyx who still happened to be pressing the button, "So all the gas does is make the people sleep? That's pretty lame I thought it would end up suffocating them, not that I wanted our friends to die or anything I'm just saying in general I thought you'd be more cruel towards someone who'd try to break into your property"
"Nah, this is just as effective and then when they wake up they're in a jail cell which is more of a punishment than just simply dying" Yuffie tosses her mask turning to face Riku then suddenly running away, "Why did you run away it's not like I was going to do anything" Riku says tossing his mask in the same direction as she had just done. He sighs turning around to see Sora, "Hey it's good to know that you didn't die, how did you wake up so fas-" Riku cuts himself off taking a closer look at the Burnett. His eyes were still closed and he had his arms out like a mummy, now it made sense as to why Yuffie ran away, "Sora wake up, I'm not any type of candy or teddy bear and if you try to harass me I don't care whether you're asleep or awake because I will beat your ass"
Sora just stays still, "CANDY!" He yells picking up full speed running towards the silver haired boy. Riku is taken aback by how strong he is, "What the heck do you put in this sleeping gas!? Steroids!?" he yells punching Soren directly in the face knocking him into the ground; Riku inspects him to make sure he's out for good when he sticks out his arms trying to grab onto Riku who just proceeds on pounding his face until he doesn't get up, "He's going to feel that later, glad I'm not him" Riku dusts his hands and walks out of the storage room.

The house was finally decorated! It took them three hours not to mention the time it took to wake everyone up and then get the stuff, "We did a great job!" Kairi says proudly looking around the house. Sora sat on the couch with Riku who hands him a bag of peas, "Did you have to hit me this hard?" Sora slumps down trying to ignore the pounding feeling that he felt coming from the nerves in his face, "That sleeping gas made you very strong and you just wouldn't stay down. It was you're face or your arms and I'm pretty sure you'd like to keep both" Sora laughs, " Ow! Don't make me laugh that hurts to" Kairi walks over to the boys and sits in-between them, "How are you feeling?" Kairi asks concerned looking at Sora's battered face, "I've had better days, it just hurts pretty bad"
Kairi smile sweetly at him and he immediately backs away from her getting on the edge of the couch, "What do you think I'm going to do kill you?!" she yells at him while he let's out a nervous chuckle, "I'm sorry it's just a bad habit" he says sitting back next to her still tense and ready to bolt at the first sign of trouble, "I just wanted to thank you for what you did earlier and for helping me" Sora eyes her suspiciously, "What do you want?" he questions, "Nothing I honestly just wanted to say thanks, I'm going to bed so I'll see you all tomorrow" She stands up and quickly gives Sora a peck on the cheek before running up the stairs to the guest room she was staying in with Fiona. Sora rubs his cheek, "Maybe you should punch me in the face more often" he says still staring at the place Kairi had just been. Everyone in the room laughs at him.
"I'm going to take Kairi's cue and head to bed as well, maybe my face won't hurt as bad tomorrow morning and I'll try not to sleep walk tonight and if any of you see me sleep walking please don't hit me in the face" Riku pats his back, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it" Sora glares at him before heading down the stairs to his guest room.
Axel smacks Demyx, "Wake up you good for nothing bum" Demyx get's startled and opens his eyes to look at Axel, "Axel? Why is you're hair pink?" he reaches out to touch his hair when Axel hits him with his biology book, "Ow! Axel! That hurt!" He yells rubbing his head, "Get to you're room or Santa will never come" he teases but it seemed to work because Demyx shot up and ran to his room, sure he stumbled and fell over himself but he made it safely to his room, "I'm going to my room if any of you need me to light something on fire just call me" he says exiting the living room.
All that remained were Namine, Yuffie, Riku and Roxas, "So…." Yuffie says awkwardly waiting for someone to strike a conversation, "You're telling me that the loud mouth chatter box has nothing to say?" Riku fakes being shocked making Yuffie glare at him, "Shut up I was just being polite, not that you would know anything about that now would you?" Roxas stands up, "Both of you just need to shut up because I'm not in the mood of hearing you fight and if you want to fight do it when it's not 2am in the morning!" He scolds both of them feeling tired himself, "Guys!" Namine says making them look at her, "We forgot about the presents for Fiona! What are we going to do?" Yuffie smirks, "I know we'll find her some around here although now that I think of it my aunt has a kid and they actually took a lot of the stuff that I had when I was a kid, so I'm stumped because I actually don't know what to do"
"We have to think of something, we didn't spend all that time just to give up now besides it's Christmas and miracles happen all of the time" Namine says hopeful, "Then I guess we have some more work to do" Roxas says as the four of them spend their time planning and plotting on how to get the perfect gift for Fiona.

A bright ray of sunlight passes through the blinds of Yuffie's house landing directly on Namine's face making her sleep an uncomfortable one. She yawns a little before opening her eyes looking around to where she was. The night before had been long when Riku, Roxas, Yuffie and her had decided to come up with the perfect present they moved to the kitchen and sat at the table and began to plan the big surprise. Namine looked at the clock about the fridge that read 8:21am and jumped out of her chair waking the others, "Guys! We never finished the present, what are we going to tell Fiona ?" Namine asks them feeling sad for the little girl that wasn't going to get any presents on Christmas day.
Yuffie takes one look at Riku sitting next to her and glares at him pushing his seat out from under him laughing as he almost fell to the ground; Roxas just stares at the two with boredom, "We'd better get out there and tell Fiona the truth" Roxas says walking towards the exit of the kitchen when Namine grabs ahold of his arm, "What are you going to tell her?' She asks afraid she already knew the answer, "Namine just for future references, don't ask a question you don't want an answer to"
"I'm sorry Nami but what other choice do we have?" Yuffie says sympathetically, "I guess you may be right, but I still think it's a bad idea" she mumbles to herself following them out to the living room. They were surprised to see the big commotion that was going on in the living room. There were presents everywhere and Fiona was smiling brightly with everyone else surrounding the tree, "Here you should open this one first" Sora says placing a box in front of her. She had no problem opening it quickly tearing off the paper and tossing the lid, she bounced up and down excited on what was in the box. Out popped a furry head with a bow placed where a collar will someday go, the girls were shocked to say the least, how did this all happen?
The presents were all eventually sorted through, everyone getting something that they had been thinking of or wanting. Soon they all moved into the kitchen to make some breakfast while Fiona spent time with her new puppy playing outside in the snow, the storm had passed and they were all free to leave. After breakfast is served the three girls sit staring at the guys, "What?" they ask in unison, "What we want to know is how did all those presents get here in the first place" Kairi says while the other two confirm it with the nod of their heads
"Come on we all know Santa did it" Roxas says smirking, "Tell us the truth, please" the girls bat their eyes putting on their most innocent looks, "Alright we'll tell you" Axel says, "When you girls left us we made a bet, you see the bet was to see who could make this the best Christmas ever but it was stupid because we all did great so I guess that means that we're all equal when it comes to doing random stuff when we're bored" Axel shrugs uninterested poking his food with his fork while everyone laughs.
Breakfast ended all too soon and they all prepared to leave saying their goodbyes to one another until they saw each other when school started back up. Yuffie smacks Riku on the back laughing, "You know, I can't believe I'm saying this and maybe it's because it's Christmas and I'll deny that I ever said it but, I had a surprisingly good time fighting with you" Riku just looks at her before leaning against the wall, "I know" he says before walking off making her glare at him, "that ass" she whispers to herself, that was the last time she ever admits to having a good time with the idiot.
Sora and Kairi leave the house together with Fiona and her new dog, "So what did you decide to call him?" Kairi asks looking at the girl, "I think I'm going to call him Sauras" Kairi laughs, "that's an odd name but I think it fits him, ain't that right Sauras" the dog wags it's tail sitting in it's seat. Kairi turns and sits back in her seat, "So how is you're face feeling today?" she asks poking his cheek while he flinches Kairi puts hers arms up like she did nothing wrong, "It's not as bad as yesterday but I would say it's pretty tender"
The drive to her house was short as Sora pulls into her driveway, "Hey why don't you come in and we can hang out?" Fiona hops up and down in her seat, "Yeah! Come on play with me and Sauras!" she says tugging on his shirt, "Maybe later but right now I can't I'm sorry" he says sincerely looking at both of them, "That's fine we'll just see you later, go on Fie go show dad Sauras and I'll be right in" Kairi says letting Fiona run straight into the house with the puppy on her heels, "So what's so important that you can't hang out with us right now?" Kairi asks getting closer to his face, "Uh well, you see I kind of promised Xion I would take her out this morning" Kairi's face falls from her smile to a grimace, "Well then I'll just see you later bye" she quickly shuts the door before he has any time to reply she's already in her house.
Sora sighs shaking his head feeling torn between the two girls, him and Kairi were just friends and that's the way it's always been. Xion was someone new that he wasn't best friends with and she was very nice, but she still reminded him of the red head that he was trying to forget. Sora pulls out of the drive way and heads toward Xion's place. Kairi watches him from the window letting one single tear fall, she knew she shouldn't feel this way because it could ruin everything that they had but not being with him was almost as bad as being around him everyday knowing that nothing could ever happen between the two.

Namine stayed with Yuffie a while longer helping her clean up the mess that they had all made when opening the presents. After they were finished Namine said bye to her best friend and planned on heading straight to the airport, it was really convenient that her christmas present had been another pair of tickets to her Grandmother's place. She had gotten a hold of Cloud and told him to meet her at the airport. Namine steps out of the house to see Roxas walking towards her, "Roxas? What are you doing here?" she asks smiling at him, "Look I know you're leaving and I won't see you until you get back but I know if I didn't do this now, I'd never do it" Namine looks at him confused as he approaches her pulling her towards him in what felt like forever their lips finally met, she could feel herself melting like that one afternoon in the park, "Merry Christmas Namine" he says before kissing her again.
