Disclaimer: I don't own it! At all!
Whoo! I fell down the stairs earlier, and now my butt hurts. I'll start a sequel next year. Which sounds like a long time away, but really it's like, two weeks..
I think I got over whatever horrid virus I had, too. Rammstein should make a Christmas CD, I'd buy it. Beats listening to that one guy, Frank Sinatra, or whoever.
Please keep reviewing!! And if there is something you want to happen in the alternate version, tell me, cuz I'm still writing it.

It was around midnight. The party showed no signs of ending, and out of restlessness, Sora, Kairi, Yuffie, Squall, Kotori, and Riku had moved their party out onto the front lawn, sitting away from the other groups of people camped out drinking. Empty beer bottles littered the front lawn of the house, and inside, music was still blaring. Rammstein had been replaced at some point in time by Powerman 5000.
Sora laughed awkwardly and jumped up, stumbling slightly. "Come on, Riku! I'll race you to the park!" he laughed, shoving Riku into Squall. The three of them laughed and started running down the street.
The streetlights had come on earlier, but it was still pitch black at the park. Squall was the first one there, then Riku. Sora caught up to them, he had to stop and throw up on the way there. "Look! No little kids to chase us away!" he shouted gleefully, realizing how empty the place was. He pushed Riku playfully and dashed towards the playground. Riku laughed and followed him, jumping onto the swings. Sora climbed up to the top of the play structure, seating himself on the plastic dome and almost falling off.
Squall walked over, climbing into the tunnel and relaxing. He listened to Riku and Sora argue for a while, before realizing that Yuffie was calling after them. He pulled himself back out, looking up at Riku, now perched beside Sora on the plastic dome. He laughed, "Come on, the girls are freakin out."
The three boys jogged back up the street, collapsing into the snow covered lawn next to the girls. "Have fun?" Kairi giggled, watching Yuffie pounce on Squall. Sora grabbed Kairi and swung her onto his lap, "No, that mean old Riku kept picking on me!" he whined playfully, laughing when Kotori tackled him.
She managed to pin him to the ground, and he looked up at her in surprise. She giggled as he shook his head. Kairi yawned loudly, collapsing against Sora. "I'm tired.." She mumbled, burying herself in his hoodie.
"Come on, guys, I think it's time to go." Sora agreed, picking Kairi up and walking to the street. The others followed, agreeing. After a few blocks, Sora set her down and plopped down in the snow beside her. She shivered slightly, and Sora gave her his hoodie, glad that Riku had brought him a long sleeved shirt. The three girls all curled up together, more or less asleep in the snow, and the boys started shoving each other around in the street.
They chased each other around the neighborhood for a while, throwing snowballs at each other. Suddenly, Sora slipped in the snow, landing awkwardly in someone's front lawn. He groaned tiredly and looked up, coming face to face with a chubby snowman.
"Holy crap!" he yelled, jumping back. "What a freakin spooky Christmas decoration!" He cried, examining the small Buddha-like snowman. As he inspected it, he realized that it was battery powered, and it held a glowing sign that read 'Merry Christmas' in tiny letters. It smiled widely, and wore a top hat that was rather large for its head. Sora reached down and pulled it out of the ground, holding the creepy plastic ornament up. He noticed that there were about eleven more, lining the sidewalk up to the house, and he darted back to Riku and Squall.
"Check it out!" he yelled, excited. "This is like some reject Halloween thing!" He laughed, throwing the snowman at Riku.
"Shit! People actually buy these things?" he exclaimed, handing it to Squall, who made a sound somewhere between a cough, a choke, and a snort.
Riku ran over to the yard, pulling out as many as he could carry. "Come on! These are awesome!" He cried, running down the street.
Sora stumbled over to the three sleeping girls, still bundled up in the snow. "Wakey wakey!" he whispered, waving a snowman in their faces. Kotori woke up first, and she yelped when she saw the snowman harassing them. Kairi and Yuffie sat up at the sound, looking up at Sora. "Awww! He's so cute!" Kotori and Kairi giggled, taking the snowman from Sora.
They took turns chasing each other around with it, Yuffie deciding a flying snowman was much more intimidating. The girls laughed as they played tag with the ornament, Sora watching them from the snowy ground.
The upstairs lights came on in the house, and the girls yelped and started running down the street, hiding in the play structure in the park. The boys dove in a while later, dropping several snowmen in the snow outside.
They all laughed for a while, trying to get a glimpse of the owners of the snowmen, shaking their fists at the mass of teenagers and young adults crowded around the street. "You guys are awful!" Kairi giggled, feeling rather drained. She snuggled into Sora's chest and watched as it began snowing again.
"Hey, I think we should get out of here, those people are looking for their deranged snowmen." Squall said, hopping out of the play structure and lifting Yuffie into his arms. He stumbled slightly at the effects of his alcohol consumption.
The others followed his lead and ran off into the night, heading for Kairi's house.

Kairi unlocked the door, stumbling inside and collapsing in a heap on the floor. The others followed her in, Squall carrying Yuffie, and Kotori supporting Riku.
Sora picked Kairi up and started heading for the stairs, she looked over his shoulder at Squall, following them with Yuffie.
"Y-you're a bad influence, Squall…" She laughed. He grinned and stumbled into her parent's room, setting Yuffie on the bed and curling up next to her.
Sora took Kairi to her room, removing her shoes and sweatshirt and kissing her goodnight. "Where are you going to sleep?" She asked, watching him walk toward the door. He turned to look at her. "In the hall, I guess." He shrugged. She giggled, "Come on.." She said, patting the bed next to her.
He grinned and hopped onto the bed, wrapping his arms around her and snuggling down into her shirt. "Goodnight!" He said, happily. She smiled, stroking his spiky hair until she fell asleep.
