Hey everyone! I love my dear sweet reviewers!

Disclaimer: Good thing I have spell check on this computer, I can't spell disclaimer worth crap.

Really just a couple of things to say, first, I know they live on a tropical island thingy, but I wanted it to snow, so it's darn well gonna! Eeep! Don't hurt me.

Secondly, I just wanted to know what people other than me and my weird friends thought of a Ansem/Kairi pairing? I can't find a fic of them, and it makes me wonder…

Riku and Wakka hid behind a tree across the street from Kairi's house. Wakka gave Riku a questioning look and was about to ask him something when Riku clamped a hand over his mouth. Seconds later, Kairi's parents burst out the door and began packing bags into the car. Riku spotted Kairi in the upstairs window, watching as her parents drove away with ought saying goodbye.

He waited until she had turned and left the window before dashing across her yard, dragging Wakka behind him. Silently, he opened the door, pushing his partner inside and slipping in before the neighbors could notice. They tip-toed through the house, expecting to be caught any minute. Riku breathed a sigh of relief when he glanced up the stairs and caught a glimpse of Kairi stomping back to her room, slamming the door.

Riku turned to Wakka and gave him a thumbs-up sign. "You remembered to invite everyone, ya?" Wakka whispered. Riku grinned, "Of course." He replied. "Now, how are we gonna do this..?" He wondered aloud, scanning the room. "First of all, she needs a tree. We'll have to find somewhere to hide that.." He tossed a picture of Kairi's parents to Wakka. "How would you like to be an elf for Christmas?" He turned to Wakka, who laughed. "Sure, whatever man." Riku grinned. "But only if Tidus is the angel, ya?" Riku thought about that for a minute, before deciding that it could be entertaining. "Okay, but you have to help me catch him."

Sneaking into the kitchen, they made a list of all the supplies they would need, along with decorations. "We'll have to hurry, too. So you go get Selphie and get the food. I'll find Sora and set up the decorations." Riku said. "Gotcha'." Wakka grinned as he slipped back out the door. Riku glanced around the room before following Wakka. Trying to imagine Sora's reaction to their plans. It would take a little persuasion, but he knew Sora would give in, he just hoped they had enough time before Kairi woke up again.

Two hours later, Kairi was awoken quite rudely, when her two best friends burst through her bedroom door. "Wake up, Kairi! We need you to help us with our Christmas shopping!" They yelled at her. She sat up quickly and clutched her blanket protectively around herself. "What?" She replied, drowsy and startled. "We need you to help us with our Christmas shopping!" They repeated, laughing. "Now?" She asked sleepily. "YES!" They cried as they jumped on her bed. "Alright, alright! I'm up! Go wait downstairs, I gotta get dressed." She cried. Sora and Riku looked at each other and then back at Kairi. "We can't stay and help you?" They asked meekly. "NO!" She roared, "Get out!" Laughing, they obeyed, shoving each other through the doorway on their way downstairs.



After her quick shower, Kairi dug through her dresser, trying to find a suitable outfit. She grabbed her usual skirt and was about to put it on when she remembered Sora's earlier comment. Shrugging, she threw it across the room and reached for some long white pants. Then she grabbed her favorite light blue sweater and made her way downstairs. "SURPRISE!" Everyone (well, almost everyone) yelled as she entered her living room. She stopped in her tracks and stared around the room at all of her friends. Wakka and Selphie were both dressed up as elves, and Sora now wore a Santa hat. Cloud was leaning against the wall in the corner, and Aerith stood next to him, talking to Selphie. There was also a Christmas tree standing were her TV had once been, barely decorated, but still beautiful.

It was then that Kairi noticed that Tidus was also attending the party. He was secured to the ceiling by a rope, wrapped up in a straight jacket, and wearing a white dress complete with wings and a bent halo. She could tell that he was screaming obscenities at Riku through the gag in his mouth. "…Sora, Riku..? What did you do?" She asked, trying to hold back her laughter. Sora looked nervous, "It was Riku! I had nothing to do with it!" He pointed an accusing finger at Riku. "What? Hey, he agreed to help of his own free will." Riku said casually, holding up his hands innocently. Everyone settled back down and Kairi looked around the room. She almost cried, she was so happy. "Thanks you guys!" She said as she hugged them both. "Hey, what about me, ya?" Wakka asked, looking hurt. Kairi smiled and gave him a hug. He laughed and went back to trying to stay away from Selphie.

Sora plopped himself down on the couch and Riku went off to find the goodies Wakka and Selphie had brought. Kairi sat on the arm of the couch next to Sora and asked him why they had thrown a Christmas party for her. "Well, Riku felt really bad that your parents were leaving you alone for the holidays, so he came up with the idea to try to help take it off your mind." Sora replied honestly. Riku poked his head around the kitchen doorway and glared dangerously at Sora. Kairi laughed and was about to walk over and harass him, but just then the door burst open. Yuffie pranced in, dragging Squall closely behind her. "Sorry we're late!" She chirped. "Gummi travel is terrible this time of year!"

Squall immediately noticed Tidus suspended from the ceiling. "Great party." He said and sat down on the opposite end of the couch as Sora. Yuffie laughed and put a Santa hat on Squall, quickly jumping onto his lap. He didn't appear to like the hat, but wasn't disappointed at the effect it had on Yuffie. Aerith walked slowly over to the stereo and turned some Christmas music on. "Anybody want to sing carols?" She asked around the room. Riku ducked back into the kitchen and Cloud tried to hide in the wall. Yuffie jumped up and Squall looked angrily at Aerith. "Oh yeah!" Yuffie cried, "Lets go around town singing carols!" She started to jump around. Riku poked his head back out of the kitchen, "Oh, look! Lunch is ready!" He shouted, relieved. Cloud visibly relaxed and there was a mild stampede toward the kitchen. Tidus swung around in a circle, kicking his feet and screaming even louder into the gag as everyone ran off to get lunch.
