CHAPTER ONE: PRE-CHRISTMAS

The next day when Riku went to Destiny Island he was attacked by a very worried Selphie. "Oh my goddess Riku! Sora locked himself in a cave!" she cried as she grabbed onto his arm, nearly pulling him over.

"We don't have a cave that he could get locked in!" Riku yelled, a bit irritated that Sora was being stupid again.

Selphie let go and Riku rubbed at his sore arm. "Well, he did. Tidus and Wakka aren't here right now. You're the only one that can save him!" she cried again.

The silver haired boy shrugged. "Fine, lets go see what he's doing," he moaned.

Selphie took hold of his arm again and dragged him off to find Sora. When she finally stopped Riku realized they were standing infront of the Secret Place, and sure enough, the enterance was blocked by a huge rock. "How the heck did he get that rock there?" Riku asked the hyper brown haired girl beside him.

"I'm not sure..." she replied.

"Okay...I guess I should move this bolder then," Riku mumbled to himself. He looked the rock over and tried to figure out a way to slide it aside. Just as he went to push it, it rolled out of the way and Sora came skipping out.

"Hi guys!" he greeted in a chipper voice.

"Hi Sora!" Selphie greeted back.

"THAT WAS NOT POSSIBLE!" Riku exclaimed, surprised that his friend had just pushed the huge rock aside so easily.

"I came up with the song!" Sora laughed happily, completely ignoring the other boys comment.

"A song?" Riku asked.

"Yeah, for Christmas. I'm gonna use the "Twelve Days of Christmas" song!"

"Joy."

"And you'll be my target!"

Riku was dumfounded. Maybe I shouln't have told him to do that...I was kidding. GEEZ! "Sora...no," he said in a stern voice.

Sora smiled that goofy smile of his and said, "But you'll like it! Starting the forteenth I'll give you really good presents! In just two days you'll be very happy!"

"Okay okay...I'm happy you chose me," Riku laughed as he rubbed Sora's fuzzy head. How bad could it be?

"So, what was in the Secret Place?" Selphie asked, breaking the sappy moment. "Maybe I'll go see...."

"NOOOO!" Sora exclaimed as he blocked the enterance with the bolder once more.

"Okay...Are you hiding some kind of evil guy in there?" she joked.

"Of course not!" Sora cried.

Riku brushed his hand through his silver hair and his green eyes met with Selphie's. "He's hiding my present," he added. "Now if you don't mind...I must be going Sora. Later!" Before Sora or Selphie could say another word, Riku was running towards the boats.

"Lets go too," Sora suggested and the two of them followed after Riku.

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

(That night.....)

Sora wasn't able to sleep, he kept worrying about what he was going to give Riku. What will I give him? I've only got tomarrow to come up with something... Sora sat up in his bed. If he couldn't sleep, he might as well be doing something. He quietly slid out of his bed and headed towards his window. His room wasn't very clean, so he had many obstacles to avoid as he made his way through his den. His mother had always called his room a den. If he wasn't at the island, he was in his room. As for his dad, he didn't think he had one. He'd always been told he hatched from an egg.

As soon as he was at his window, he quietly jumped out and landed on his butt. OUCH! That hurt... He thought to himself as he rubbed his bruised bottom. He stood up and brushed off his pajamas, which were yellow with with purple stars.

"Do you like jumping out of windows?" a strange voice asked.

Sora turned around faster than a chicken eats a worm and shouted, "I'm sorry!" He gasped when he saw a weird looking cloaked man staring at him. "Who are you?" Sora asked cautiously.

"Don't you know? I've got stalker written all over my face," the man answered. Sora raised and eyebrow and stepped back. "I'm just kidding!" the man exclaimed. "My name is Ansem."

Sora grinned and held out his hand. "Oh! I'm Sora! So Ansem, what are you doing out here at this time of night?" Sora asked.

Ansem shook his hand and replied, "Looking for yo--I mean! I'm just taking a walk!" Nice save! "Okay Sora, lets just get to the point. I know you're trying to do something nice for a friend named Riku and you have no idea what to give him. Well, have I got a deal for you! I'll help you give him great presents!" Ansem explained.

"Oh...you're smart. What do I have to do? What do you get out of it?" Sora asked suspiciously. I wonder if he really is a stalker...

Ansem laughed evilly. "You do nothing. I just enjoy helping people," he replied. More like I enjoy watching people suffer. That is exactly what you'll be doing if you follow my directions...MUWHAHAHAH!!!! "So, do you accept my offer?" Ansem asked as he put his arm around Sora's neck and pulled him close.

Sora didn't seem to notice Ansem had his arm around his neck and was giving him a look that would make his mother cry. "Alright! I accept you offer!" Sora replied.

Ansem grinned and began to lead Sora down the street. "Good. Now this is what we've gotta do," he snickered.

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

(next day)

The next day when Riku arrived at Destiny Island he learned that once again, Sora was nowhere to be found. This time it was Tidus who had told him the news.

"Do you have any idea where he is!?" Tidus asked frantically.

Riku yawned and pushed the blond boy out of his way. "He's probably in that stupid cave of his." he answered lazily.

"Cave?"

"Yeah, the Secret Place. He won't let anyone inside. I'll go see what's up," Riku said before leaving to go find little Sora. When he came to the Secret Place he was surprised to find there was no bolder, and no Sora to be found. "This could be a problem," he muttered to himself.

"RIKU!!!" a female voice cried. When Riku turned to see who it was he found Kairi running towards him at full speed. Her short hair was sticking up in every direction and she looked like she'd just seen a ghost. "It's Sora! We found him!" she ejaculated. (Ejaculated to say something suddenly, like exclaimed. I only hope I used the word correctly.... . )

"Really? Where did he go?" he asked.

"We found him inside a trash can. Tidus and Wakka are bringing him over as we speak. Don't worry we d--," before Kairi could finish her sentence the boys came running over to them.

"Riku! I got a great idea now!" Sora laughed as he hugged Riku.

"Get off me Sora, you smell!" Riku shouted in anger.

"Ya Riku. Sora was digging for ideas," Wakka laughed.

"That's not funny," Riku groaned as he brushed the random articles of trash from his clothing. "Anyways, what's this idea you've got Sora?"

Sora grinned, "You'll find out tomarrow..."
