Reviewers like these joys.
Of all shapes and sizes,
And being girls and boys.
Who chose to read this chapter,
To all who enjoy this joyous holiday.
Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy,
I don't own, that's what I say.
Now enough of dilly dallying,
But we've got plenty of time.
And if you're wondering, then,
No, I will continue this rhyme.

Chapter 27: A Christmas Writer's Power//------ ------- ------- --- ----- -- ---/////// ------ ------ ------ --- /
Two days before Christmas would come upon Destiny Isle, however our chapter doesn't begin with our normal crew. On this hectic day we find a 17 year-old guy walking the streets, he was tall for his age, on his face was a pair of dark blue sunglasses, his bushy brown hair had long side burns and had blonde highlights. His clothes consisted of a red shirt with a transmutation circle on it, black long pants, a ripped red scarf and a huge black duster overcoat that dragged on the ground. In the grip of his hands was a big, red book.
"After all of this time," said the teen guy as he walked towards the mall. "A Christmas poetry book by my own two hands. For all of time, this story will be classic and never fall."
The mall was busy, as it is everywhere else in the world. We find four familiar teens sitting at the food court with many Christmas bags surrounding them all. Sora, Riku, Kairi and Zeek were the only ones there this Christmas time, for more than a majority of the group had left the islands. Yuffie and Sephiroth were also here, but they were somewhere other than the mall.
"I can't believe you guys forgot to Christmas shop," Sora commented before he began to drink his soda.
"Well excuse us for trying to continue with our lives," replied Riku.
"Yeah and I needed to get past that ACT test," Zeek said as Kairi lifted her many Christmas bags.
"I've got my Christmas shopping done, how about you guys?" asked Kairi as Zeek and Riku lifted their Christmas bags.
"Yeah, now lets get home so we can gift-wrap before our parents return," Zeek said as the group began to leave the mall.
Zeek and Riku had their Christmas gifts piled up, so they couldn't really see. Unfortunately, the teen we saw earlier was reading his book, so he crashed into Zeek and Riku. The force sent the teen's book flying into the air, the teen tried to get up to catch his book.
"My book, my book! Someone catch the book!" yelled the teen as he tried to dive to catch the book. Unfortunately, he missed the book by an inch, and the effect that followed was that his book fell into a huge mud puddle ruining it. "My creation, it's ruined! See what you fools did? Look!"
"Hey you bumped into us," Riku confronted as he gathered his Christmas gifts as did Zeek.
"So don't call us the fools," added Zeek as the teen stood up and everyone got a look at him.
"Who exactly are you?" Sora asked as the teen crossed his arms. "Some kind of cowboy or something?"
"I'm neither a cowboy, nor a Kaiser," answered the teen with anger in his eyes. "I am only a writer by the name of Vyser."
"What's up with the rhyme?" Kairi asked as Vyser picked up his Christmas book.
"Can't help it, but it feels so good like I'm committing a crime," replied Vyser as he raised his Christmas book. "However my question is to you: This book I wrote with my bare hands, so how will I be repaid for my pain you two?"
"Actually, I don't see why we should pay," Riku said as Vyser growled.
"Sorry is the least you could say!" yelled Vyser as he began to steam. "I'm giving you a warning, so you better hurry okay?"
"Now he's playing off our words," Sora sighed as Vyser began to tap his foot. "Riku, Zeek, maybe you should apologize."
"No way! I won't apologize to this scrub of a writer," yelled Zeek as Vyser widened his eyes.
"I'll even bet that his story stunk," Riku added as Vyser threw his ruined book to the ground.
"Is that what you think? I'll show you, you little punk!" yelled Vyser as his entire body began to glow red and green. "You shall not fall to my sword, but rather to my pen. Christmas tales on your left and right, coming till you learn the moral at the end!"
All of a sudden, the red and green light that engulfed Vyser began to shine over Sora, Kairi, Riku and Zeek. After the light was gone the four teens looked over themselves, nothing was different, and the teens didn't feel weird. However they did not know, that soon Christmas time would be feared.
"Okay what's up with that?" Sora asked as suddenly a on his head did appear was a Santa hat. "Huh, what's going on?"
"You'll all be a part of my new Christmas tale," answered Vyser before he turned around and began to walk away. "Soon you'll be thanking your friends for acting like a full moron."
"Do you think his threats are real?" Kairi asked her voice sounding unsure.
"Come on, that Vyser's a windbag," replied Zeek. "His threats are simply absurd."
"Hey guys haven't you noticed?" Riku asked before he made a shout. "We've got a narrator all of a sudden."
"Riku that's just weird," said Sora. "Oh, hey can you guys remind me to send to Cloud a postcard to London?"
"Great! Now were speaking in rhyme," commented Riku before he threw his arms in the air.
"Like any one gives a care," Zeek replied as he looked around. "Now what are we supposed to do?"
Kairi then did suggest, "We could probably hang out."
"Well that's a great idea," Sora did shout.
/------- -------- ------- ------- ------ // -------- -------- ---------- ---- /
A few hours had passed, and unfortunately when Sora, Kairi and Riku had reached each of their own houses, they each had found a note that made them all jaw dropped.
According to the note, their parents all left to a sudden vacation on a huge summer cruise that they won while their kids had shopped.
So the three teen had packed their things and went to Zeek's house, while he was making renovations to his abode.
Apparently, thanks to the party that Riku and Sephiroth held a couple of mouths ago, Zeek had to remodel due to the insulation wouldn't keep in the cold.
The house was a mess, a few of the walls that were on the inside were missing, yet the water still began to run, then there was something that was most notable, near the front door was a huge hole.
However, Sora didn't notice the hole as he walked through the door.
"Hey Zeek!" yelled Sora as he took the first fateful step. "Oh crud!" Bless Sora's soul.
"Wow, what a hole," Riku commented.
Then Zeek made his appearance with a present in his hands.
"Hey, Zeek, what's up with the gift?" asked Kairi as Zeek looked confused.
They were all unaware of Vyser's diabolical, Christmas theme plans.
"I don't really know, but I was waiting for you all to arrive to see what it is," Zeek answered. Then all of a sudden the three all heard a loud groan.
"Hey Sora! You okay?" asked Riku as the three looked in the hole.
"I don't think so," Sora moaned from the hole. "I think I broke my funny bone."
"Okay, enough is enough!" yelled Kairi as everyone looked shocked. "No more rhymes you Narrator, where ever you may be."
"Fine! I take a hint! You won't hear another rhyme from me!" The Narrator sobbed. "But I'll still be here, where I can't be seen by thee."
"Finally, I couldn't take those rhymes any more," sighed Zeek as he opened the present and pulled out a weird machine that had a dial that had many weather patterns on it. "What in the worlds?"
"Sweet, I wonder what it does?" Riku asked as Sora came from the front door once more.
"Hey thanks for the help guys!" thanked Sora his mouth dripping with sarcasm.
"Hey turn the dial to see what it does," Kairi suggested as Zeek turned the dial to snow.
"Didn't you hear me?" asked Sora before he pushed Zeek.
The push caused Zeek to throw the weird machine into the air, and then the machine fell into the hole where crashing and shattering sounds followed.
"Dang it Sora!" Zeek yelled as he looked into the hole to see the machine shattered into a million pieces. "That was a gift!"
"Well if you helped me out of the hole, then that wouldn't have happened now would it?" asked Sora as everyone sighed.
Unknown to the four, a weird storm began to form over the Destiny Isles. A storm that had never occurred on the tropic Islands. The clouds began to form, blocking the sun, then the temperature began to fall to below the records known to the isle. To the four teens this was unknown, they were all inside trying to decorate Zeek's house with a tree, gifts, lights and mistletoe. Sora was in charged of the mistletoe, which he hanged in the doorway to the living room. After Sora hung the mistletoe, Kairi walked towards him not noticing the Christmas decoration.
"Hey Sora are you done with your decoration?" Kairi asked as Sora grinned.
"Take a look for yourself," replied Sora as he pointed up towards the mistletoe and Kairi blushed a little.
"I guess we have to follow the classic tradition," Kairi said with a smile, then Kairi quickly kissed Sora on the cheek.
Sora then put his hand on his cheek, he stood there in daze, even after Kairi had left Sora alone. Meanwhile, after Riku had finished the Christmas tree he got a look out the window. The sight made his eyes widen as he rushed towards the window.
"I don't believe it," muttered Riku with doubt in his voice. "It can't be, it couldn't, it shouldn't. But it is, it's…it's…"
"…It's what Riku?" Zeek asked as he himself looked to the window. "Holy crud! Is that snow?"
It was true, the snow was falling onto the tropic islands and it was beginning to pile up. Riku and Zeek were confused as they both were wondering how is this possible.
"Well, now its going to be more of a nightmare to put the outside Christmas lights on," commented Zeek before he grabbed many lights and made his way to the back door. "Wish me luck."
/ ------- ------ ------- ------ ------ ------ /// ------- ------- ------ ------- //
An hour later, we find Sora and Kairi were watching the snow fall, the snow was like two inches high. Riku had made hot chocolate for the three and Zeek to drink. All of a sudden, many footsteps on the roof got Sora and Kairi to look confused.
"Could that be Santa?" Sora asked as he looked excitedly outside the window.
"You actually believe in Santa?" asked Riku in disbelief with a chuckle following.
"Riku, its alright to believe in Santa Clause," Kairi defended as she and Riku joined to look out of the window.
All of a sudden, right in front of the three teens' eyes, many reindeer and a Santa came falling off the roof. This made them all scream…before another figure fell following, then the three began to laugh. The reason being was that Zeek was dangling in front of the three by some Christmas lights. Riku took this opportunity to snap a picture of Zeek with his handy dandy pocket sized digital camera. While the three continued to laugh, the light that held Zeek snapped and caused him to fall to the hard snow covered ground.
After getting Zeek some bandages and fixing the Christmas lights, the house was near presentable. The teens even managed to put a carpet over the huge hole near the front door. Zeek was on the phone, while Sora, Riku and Kairi were watching a movie on the TV.
"Hold on…Hey guys! What do you want on the pizzas I'm ordering?" asked Zeek as he looked in the living room.
"Pepperoni!" Riku yelled before he drank more of his hot chocolate.
"Hawaiian pizza for me!" yelled Sora.
"And barbecue chicken I'll take," Kairi added as Zeek nodded.
"Yeah, so I'll take one with pepperoni, one Hawaiian pizza, another with barbecue chicken and one sea food pizza," answered Zeek into the phone. "27.50 munny? Thirty minutes or its free? Cool, catch you then."
Meanwhile, in another living room decorated with Christmas decorations, we find Vyser looking at the four teens with his power of being the author. Vyser was grinning as he got an idea.
An awful idea.
Vyser got a wonderful, awful idea. Then quickly Vyser began to write down on some paper with his magical ink pen.
"Let's see how those three deal with this," Vyser muttered as he continued to write. "This will be the ultimate Christmas prank!"
Back with the gang, Sora had borrowed some of Zeek's winter clothes that Zeek had when he lived in New York a few years ago. Sora was outside building a huge snowman, Sora even managed to find a couple pieces of coal, a corncob pipe, a broom, a scarf, and a button. Unknown to Sora, Yuffie was behind him with a snowball in hand.
"And now just to add the final touches," said Sora before Yuffie threw the snowball.
When the snowball made contact with Sora, he was pushed into the snowman he was building. Sora was even fully covered with snow.
"Direct hit!" Yuffie announced as she ran over to the Snow Sora. "I might as well finish it."
After twenty minutes, Yuffie was almost finished with the Snow Sora. The snowman had Sora in it and Yuffie made it look like Sora. She even got Sora to wear the scarf, corncob pipe, coal, and a button nose, Sora was even holding on to the broom. Yuffie was still not satisfied.
"Its missing something," muttered Yuffie as suddenly a magician's hat landed on her foot. "That's it!"
Yuffie then quickly put the hat on the Snow Sora's head. Then a magic light then engulfed the Snow Sora. When the light died down, the Snow Sora began to move.
"Happy birthday!" Snow Sora announced before his eyes widened at his new form. "Wait, this can't be right. I'm not supposed to be made of snow!"
"Hey there Sora," greeted Yuffie as Snow Sora looked at her with anger in her eyes.
"Yuffie! Did you do this?" Snow Sora asked as Yuffie nodded. "Then fix this!"
"If you insist," replied Yuffie before she pushed regular Sora from Snow Sora.
"Wow thanks," Sora thanked as he began to shiver. "But why is it so cold?"
"That because, regular Sora, you're in your boxers," answered Snow Sora as Sora looked down and yelled because of the fact his clothes were in Snow Sora's body.
"What's going on right here?" Riku asked as he opened the door and saw Sora. "Hello, extra black mail."
"Dang it Riku!" yelled Sora as he ran towards Riku through the front door, but forgot the hole covered by the carpet. "Dang it!"
"So," Yuffie said as Snow Sora looked at her. "Want to get a iced coffee?"
"Sounds cool to me," replied Snow Sora as the two began to walk towards town, and a familiar tune began to play.
Sora the snowman,
Was a jolly happy soul.
With a corncob pipe and button nose,
And two eyes made of coal.
// -------- -------- ----- ------ ------ -// ----- ------- ------- ----- //
Thirty two minutes later, the snow was piling up and the pizzas had arrived, Zeek managed to walk past the hole that had the carpet on it a few more times.
"You're late by two minutes," Zeek said as the delivery boy sighed.
"Dang it, and I just got my job back after losing it during the summer," sighed the delivery boy as he handed Zeek the pizzas. "My girlfriend is going to kill me."
Just as Zeek closed the door another knock at the door made him turn around. Zeek had problems opening the door, but when he finally did, there was a tall policeman with black hair was at the door. He even had a little bit of a stubble.
"Excuse me sir, but we've had reports of robberies were occurring in this neighborhood," The policeman said as Zeek was nodding. "And I was wondering if your prepared seeing as how the rest of the neighborhood is on vacation."
"Don't worry copper, I've got a good security system connected to the phone lines," replied Zeek before the cop left.
Just as Zeek turned around he stepped on the carpet, which caused him to throw the pizza boxes as he fell through the floor once more. Before the pizzas could follow, Riku grabbed the boxes.
"Sweet! Free pizza!" Riku announced as Zeek began to stand up.
"Some one throw me the ladder," commanded Zeek.
//----- -------- ------- ------ ---------- ///-------- -------- --------- ----- //
Meanwhile, out side the cop took his hat off and walked to a red van with a fat guy wearing a red bandana over his brown hair leaning on it.
"So Briggs, what did it look like?" asked the fat guy as Briggs smiled.
"It's cool Wedge, all I saw was one teen, so tomorrow, after we cut the phone lines we'll break in," Briggs said as he and Wedge entered the vehicle. "Even though the house is under renovation, I saw many valuables that looked to be worth a lot."
"It'll be a Merry Christmas for the Tropic thieves," said Wedge as the two began to drive. "So what do you think is up with this snow?"
"I'm no meteorologist," Briggs replied.
/// ------ ------ ------- ------ ------ ----- // ------- ----- ------- -------- //
The next day came to be Christmas Eve, and we find Briggs and Wedge were dressed as electric repairmen. After eating breakfast the four teens were trying to get onto the Internet or trying to call their parents, with little success. After trying many times (each in failure) the Zeek and Riku decided to head to the prank store in order to get some money from the register as well as a few other things too, leaving Sora and Kairi alone in the house. Briggs and Wedge then drove up in front of the house.
"Okay, now that the owner's gone, go check the place out," said Briggs as Wedge just stood in his seat unknowingly.
"Oh, did you mean now?" Wedge asked as Briggs slapped his forehead.
"No tomorrow, of course today!" yelled Briggs as Wedge got out of the van.
"Fine no need to yell," Wedge muttered as he made his way to the back door.
Meanwhile, Sora and Kairi were watching an old gangster movie at the part where the mob boss would confront on of his insubordinate gang members or something like that. Kairi however kept looking out the window, there was just something that wasn't right.
"Anything wrong, Kairi?" asked Sora as Kairi turned towards him.
"There's just this red van that's parked outside, its been there for a couple of days," Kairi answered as Sora just shrugged.
"I'm sure its nothing, you're just being paranoid," replied Sora as he stood up. "I'm going to get some popcorn, you mind turning up the volume so I can hear what happens?"
"Sure," Kairi said as she turned the volume up.
Meanwhile, while Sora was popping the popcorn, Wedge was sneaking around the back leaving his footprints in the snow. Wedge reached the back door then put his ear on the door and heard the movie that was playing.
"So Johnny I see you've shown your ugly mug again."
"Shut up Snake, now where's my cut of the money?"
"Snake?" thought Wedge as he continued to listen more intently.
"What money?"
"Don't play dumb, Charlie promised me 20 percent."
"Well, too bad Charlie ain't the boss no more."
"Just give me my money and I'll be leaving."
"Alright, I'll give you want you want. How's about ten thousand…rounds of lead?"
"Put down the gun Snake."
"I going to give you till the count of ten to get your ugly, low-down, worth-less carcass out of my sight. One…two…ten!"
Just as the movie gunshots were fired, the popcorn in the microwave began to pop. This shocked Wedge and made him act crazy like he was dodging bullets. Wedge ran back to the van giving Briggs a worried look.
"What happened?" asked Briggs as Wedge jumped into the van.
"Someone beat us here, two guys and one of them blew the other away," Wedge answered as he was panting. "One of them was named Snake."
"Snake? I don't know any Snakes," said Briggs.
"Let's get out of here before we're next!" Wedge yelled just as Briggs was about to shift the gears of the van.
"Wait a minute, if these guys were already here and one of them knocked off the other," said Briggs as he put the van back in park. "Wouldn't it be better to get a face if the police start asking us questions?"
"I get it," Wedge replied as he then got a confused look on his face. "Wait no I don't."
"We're staying, we already called this house," said Briggs.
// -------- ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ // -------- ------ ------- ------ /
Later that day when the dark sky was looming over the Destiny Isles around 5:30 p.m., Zeek and Riku returned from the Prank Store with some groceries, pranks, and other things. Unfortunately, Zeek had forgotten something really important at the Prank Store. Meanwhile in Vyser's Christmas living room, a smile crept on his face.
"This reminds me of a certain song," Vyser said to only himself. "That's it! I'll use that song on Zeek…and no one else."
Zeek was putting on his winter clothes as the tune from 'Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer'.
Zeek got run over by a reindeer,
Walking home from his house Christmas Eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But for Sora, Kairi and Riku they believe.
"I forgot my Rolex at the store," said Zeek as the three teens turned towards him.
"It's too late to go Zeek," Sora replied as Zeek opened the door.
"Well I can't leave it there till it's open again, not since Yuffie started working there," said Zeek.
He'd been drinking too much eggnog,
"Zeek, maybe you should wait till after you waited off the eggnog," Kairi suggested.
And Riku begged him to go.
"Let him go, we need the silence around here," said Riku as he flipped through his magazine.
But he forgot his Rolex,
"Thanks for the vote of confidence Riku," Zeek commented as he walked out into the snow. "Take care of the house for me."
And he walked out into the snow.
As Zeek was walking on his shoveled front walk, he stopped to tighten his coat, unfortunately there was a figure in a red sled, being driven by eight flying reindeer flying directly towards him.
Zeek got run over by a reindeer,
Walking from his house on Christmas Eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But for Sora, Kairi and Riku they believe.
Sora, Riku and Kairi just watched as they saw Zeek get run over by Santa's sleigh. Riku and Kairi were shocked at the sight while Sora was cheering in joy.
"Santa is real! You owe me money Riku!" cheered Sora as Riku groaned and handed Sora his money.
"I never thought I would lose that bet," Riku commented as Kairi looked at the two.
"Guys maybe we should call 9-1-1 for Zeek's sake?" asked Kairi as Riku quickly ran to the phone.
"Hello officer, our friend just got ran over by Santa's sleigh," Riku said as he waited for a reply. "No this isn't a joke…yes we've been drinking eggnog…sir seriously our friend is hurt could you please send an ambulance?"
Soon, an ambulance appeared and carted off Zeek. Sora, Riku and Kairi were on the second floor watching from the window, while Briggs and Wedge were standing on the opposing lawn watching the ambulance. Sora had noticed Briggs and Wedge talking as the ambulance was going away. Sora quickly ran to Zeek's room and grabbed one of those spy distance listeners.
"Sora what are you doing?" asked Riku as Sora pointed the transmitter towards Briggs and Wedge.
"Just eavesdropping…care to join?" Sora asked as Riku and Kairi knelt down to listen.
"Alright Briggs, now that the owner's gone I bet we can easily break into that house."
"Yeah, that's actually smart thinking from you Wedge. Listen, after we drop the loot at the warehouse, grab some dinner, we'll come back to this house around 9 tonight."
"Whose house is this again?"
"I told you, it belongs to a Zeek Valen guy, now come on."
"Oh great now what are we supposed to do?" asked Kairi as Sora put down the spy equipment.
"I'll call the cops…again," Riku said as he went to the phone.
A few minutes later…
"What do you mean you can't help us?" asked Riku with anger in his eyes. "Oh so you don't believe about the bit earlier I said about Santa." Riku then hung up the phone and turned towards his friends. "Now what are we going to do."
"I'll tell ya what we're going to do," Sora answered as he stood up proudly. "Zeek entrusted us, so we'll have to protect his house."
"And we can use the pranks that Zeek had to take back," added Riku as Sora and Kairi looked at him. "What? It's because those pranks are too dangerous, and since they can be used as traps."
"Well, then let's hurry," Sora said as the three put their hands in between them.
/// ------ --------- ------- ----- ----- - -- /// --------- ---------- ----- ------- //
The time was 8:55 p.m. when the three were finished with the traps. They even set up a rope that was connected to the house to the farthest tree from Zeek's house in the back. The rope was over the now frozen pool. Sora was stationed at the back door with Zeek's paint gun fully loaded. Riku was hiding in the third floor secret compartment while Kairi sat in the tree that had the rope tied to it. She was looking out for Briggs and Wedge with a com-device and a pair of binoculars. Suddenly Briggs and Wedge walked into the backyard and towards the back door with crowbars and sacks in their hands.
"Sora, their coming your way," said Kairi into the com-device.
// -------- ------- ------ ------ ----- --- // ------- -------- ------ ------ - /
"Okay, you ready Briggs?" Wedge asked as neither of them noticed the paintball gun barrel that was coming out of the doggy door in the back door.
"Let's do this," replied Briggs before he was shot in the leg with a paintball. "Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh! Yyyyyyeeeeee-ouch!"
"What are you doing Briggs?" Wedge asked as Briggs dropped to his knees speaking gibberish. "What happened?"
Wedge then stuck his head through the doggy door to see Sora lying on the ground with a paintball guy pointed towards Wedge's head.
"Hello," greeted Sora before he shot Wedge in the forehead.
The shot send Wedge flying from the doggy door and onto the hard cement.
"There's a kid in there!" Wedge announced as Briggs stood up.
"Fine! I'll take the front, while you take the basement," said Briggs as he walked towards the front.
Wedge had gotten up after his partner left for the front, he slowly made his way to the stairs that led to the basement. Just as he took the first step, he slipped on some ice causing him to fall down the stairs and land on his back and sending his crowbar flying into the air.
"Ow," Wedge muttered as he noticed that his crowbar was about to fall on him. "Oh boy."
// -- --------- ------ ---- ----- -- -- -- ---- // -------- ------- ------- ----- //
After stopping to hear a girlish cry of pain, Briggs just shrugged if off and continued to walk towards the front door. Just as he was about to touch the door handle, he swiftly pulled his hand back.
"I'm not falling for the red hot door knob trick," said Briggs as he used his crowbar to turn the knob.
Before he fully opened the door he peeked into the house, not noticing the blowtorch that was connected to a mechanism that would light his head on fire. As soon as Briggs pushed the door fully open, the blowtorch blew flames on his head. As soon as Briggs felt the flames, he screamed loudly and jumped into a nearby snow pile. As soon he pulled his head out of the snow, he felt the top of his head is now bald.
"Oh my hair, my beautiful hair," Briggs groaned as he stood up and stomped towards the door. "You're dead meat kid!"
Briggs then kicked the door, and looked around.
"I've finally reached the top!" yelled Briggs before he stepped on the carpet and fell through the hole screaming till he landed hard on his back. "Whoa, what a hole."
// -------- ------ ------- ----- ----- -/------ ----- ----- ------- ---- ///
Meanwhile, with Wedge, after a few more times slipping he finally got back up the stairs and went to the back door. To his surprise, the door was unlocked.
"Sweet," Wedge commented as he walked towards a sling door.
As soon as he entered the door, bucket filled to the brim with glue fell on top of him and covered head to toe. Wedge then struggled, when all of a sudden a fan blew many feathers on him making him look like a chicken.
"I'm a chicken! Finally! My dream come true!" yelled Wedge as he walked towards the front door and saw Briggs climbing out of the hole in the room. "Briggs! What happened to your hair?"
"Why are you two dress like a chicken?" Briggs asked as a whistle caught both of the thieves' attention.
"You guys give up? Had enough pain?" Sora asked as the two noticed the stairs.
"Never!" yelled Wedge as he followed Briggs up the stairs.
All of a sudden, a paint can (I just had to use that bit) came flying from above. Briggs ducked and the paint can slammed into Wedge's face sending him flying to the ground next to the hole.
"Briggs look out!" Wedge yelled as Briggs turned around only to get his face slammed into by a paint can.
The force sent Briggs flying right back into the hole. Sora was laughing as he made his way to the attic.
"You okay Briggs?" asked Wedge as he put his hands in the hole to pull up Briggs.
"I'm going to make that kid sorry he ever tried to get us!" Briggs yelled as he and Wedge ran up the stairs to get Sora.
/ ----- -------- -------- ------- ------- - // --------- ------- ------- -------- //
Sora was in attic, near where Riku was hiding he tapped his foot three times. Riku quickly came out of his hiding place and handed Sora a bicycle handlebar.
"This is it Riku, prepare the shrub cutters," said Sora as he ran to the rope and put the bicycle handlebar on the rope and slid to the tree where Kairi was.
Just as Sora was half way across, Briggs and Wedge got to the window.
"You guys better hurry before I call the cops!" Sora yelled as Briggs grabbed the rope and began to climb across.
"Briggs this doesn't seem like a good idea," said Wedged as Briggs was getting a little distance.
"Just hurry up!" Briggs yelled.
When the two thieves were over the pool, Riku appeared at the window with the hedge clippers around the rope. While in the tree, Kairi had her own hedge clippers around that end of the rope. Briggs and Wedge noticed this and looked really worried.
"Told you this was a bad idea," said Wedge as Briggs kicked him.
"Shut up Wedge," Briggs said before the rope was cut at both ends and the two thieves fell to the pool freezing them in the water instantly.
All of a sudden, many police cars drove into backyard and many police surrounded the thieves.
"Who called the cops?" asked Kairi as the three teens walked into the backyard.
"I did," someone answered as Sora, Kairi and Riku turned to see Vyser standing behind them with a book in his arm.
"What are you doing here Vyser?" asked Riku as Vyser smiled with cheer.
"To tell you all the great news," Vyser answered as he showed his book. "I think you've learned your lesson, that's why I'm here."
"I guess you've still the rhymes going on," commented Sora as Vyser handed the book to Sora. "This looks like a good book to read that you made."
"Thank you, and don't worry about your friend Zeek," Vyser replied as the cops put Briggs and Wedge into the police cars. "He should be learning his lesson at the hospital, and in three seconds you'll hear his sound."
Vyser then counted down with his fingers, then all of a sudden a huge yelled filled the air. It got the attention of everyone, and gave everyone a huge scare. The four teens laughed as the snow stopped and Santa flew in his sleigh over high skies.
"Valise Navi Dad!" Santa shouted. "Hohohohoho! Merry Christmas!"
// ------- -------- ------ ------- ------- // -------- -------- ------ ----- /
Vyser: Thank goodness now that I can stop my rhyming. A funny thing about that, I've been talking in rhymes since the Christmas vacation began just so I could write this chapter. And I guess you could say this chapter was a bunch of parodies, I just wanted to use the Home Alone (don't own) traps that were used. I also don't own the Christmas specials that were used. Anyway, please review and have a Holly Jolly Christmas. Oh, I just used my name for the author, that's not what I really look like.
