Okay guys, hope chapter five was good. Now, thanks to your fabulous reviews, your reward is this new chapter! The camping had ended some time ago, so back to the regular schedule and Christmas!

WooT!

No clue why I said that...xD

Disclaimer: I don't anything in this story except for the plot.

Roxas glowered indignantly from his third storied room window. The moving vans had already arrived, carrying out expensive merchandise and furniture. All that was needed now was the new family: The Hitakis'.

The thought only made Roxas more irritable.

Not only was he upset with all this commotion in the neighborhood in such early hours of the morning, but he was also enraged at who was moving in across the street.

'Riku.'

It was after the camping trip when he had been informed. The group was on their way back to town when Namine split the beans. Roxas, himself, had been baffled, bitter, and a bit threatened at "wonderful" news.

He felt that Riku was moving in on his territory. Not that Roxas thought of Namine as property; he just felt the indescribable urge to protect her from the silver-haired Adonis.

"Hey, Rox. Showers free now if you want to hop in real quick." Tearing his eyes away from the bright orange and white U-haul, Roxas stared at his younger half.

Sora was decked out in red Santa hat, a black, long-sleeved sweater, baggy, blue jeans, and brown boots. Roxas was still dressed in his blue mistletoe boxers.

"Aren't we in the Christmas mood this morning?" Snapped Roxas as he trudged past Sora; a deadpan look plastered to his handsome, tanned face. Sora just ignored his brother's foul mood and started to laugh.

"Come on, Roxas. It's our last day of school until January. You can at least show a little cheer. Besides, today's our annual Christmas party."

Roxas stopped at the mention of 'annual' and 'party.' He shuddered involuntarily. He wasn't against the idea of attractive women slinging themselves all over him; it was the feeling of being trapped and forced to listen about how he would take over the family business.

He was absolutely sick of it.

Without another word, Roxas let Sora and continued to the bathroom. Sora raised an eyebrow in question, knowing exactly what was bothering him.

Namine shivered, pulling her jacket close to chilled form. She shoved her small hands deeper into her pockets as the wind suddenly picked up, tousling her her hair around.

"Almost there, girl. Just keep thinking about hot things." She muttered solemnly to herself as she rounded the corner. From this point, school was still another two blocks away and Namine highly doubted she'd make it on time.

'Stupid Haku for shutting off my alarm clock.'

Though the thought slowly edged its way out of her mind as she started to ponder about Riku. Namine was so thrilled to have her friend be back in town again. It was like fate allowed them to meet again after these two years of separation.

Namine felt her heart beat faster as another thought passed through her brain.

Today was Hayner's Pisca Palooza! Let's just say that it was the gala of the year for Namine and friends. (1)

She squealed excitedly and skipped a bit down the sidewalk. Hopefully, it would be as great as the last two times.

Suddenly, a honking sound, on her left, jutted her out of her enthusiastic animation. Namine guessed that she had probably jumped two feet off the ground from fright.

Snarling, the wee girl turned and was about to verbally abuse her scarers when her throat closed. There in a black Convertible sat the Nasumi twins.

(Ten Minutes Before)

Roxas stared blankly into the mirror at his reflection. What had he let Sora do to him?

Trembling slightly, the golden-haired man fingered the red squishy, foam ball on his nose. Ascending upward once more, he, now, grasped the long, brown antlers sitting atop his head.

"Out of all the things you could force me to wear, Sora...You chose Rudolph!"

Roxas' cheeks flushed in embarrassment. Sora moved away from Roxas, laughing and holding his hands out in front of him.

"Sorry, Roxas. I just couldn't resist." Sora wiped a tear from his eye as a knocking interrupted the conversation.

"Come in." The twins shouted in unison.

Suddenly, the door flew open to reveal their mother with a brand new digital camera.

"Aww! Look how cute! Hurry, Edmund. Before they get away!"

White, bright lights flashed repeatedly, blinding the hell out of the two eighteen-year-olds. From all the clicking and gushing their parents were doing, Sora and Roxas managed to escape the room, run downstairs into the garage, and start the car before the parentals reached them.

"Roxas! Get us the hell outta here now!"

Sora yelled in the blond's face as they jetted down the driveway and onto the street.

Huffing and puffing from exhaustion, both Megumi and Edmund Nasumi stood in the grand doorway of their home, watching their sons drive away to school. Megumi leaned heavily on Edmund and in return, her husband wrapped an arm around his wife.

"Our sons have become two handsome men, haven't they dear?"

The spiky brunette chuckled deeply in his throat.

"Indeed, they have. Now, come. We need your decorating expertise for the party this evening."

Edmund lead his blond beauty back into the house and smiled as a gentle snow began to fall.

Sora chuckled in amusement at the look on his friends' face.

"You need a ride, Namine? You look like you're about to freeze to death."

Roxas refused to acknowledge the chat between Sora and Namine. The images of Riku kissing Namine's cheek burned hotly in his mind.

Getting over her fright trip, Namine giggled lightly.

"Yeah, sure. Thanks guys."

Finally, the trio arrived at school. Hopping out of the car, Namine spotted the popular kids from a distance wearing anything the resembled Christmas. One kid was even dressed up as a giant mistletoe.

'What a dumb ass.' Thought Namine as she turned to thank Sora and Roxas for the ride.

"Thanks, guys. I own you one."

Roxas was about to retort with a rude comment, Sora answered for both of them.

"No problem, Nami. That's what friends are for."

Sora waved and started to walk into the building; Namine guessed Kairi's locker. This, in turn, left Namine and Roxas alone. Neither of the two even dared to breath, let alone look at each other. It had almost been two months since the argument with him during the camping trip.

Neither had spoken since.

'I can't stand this silence between us anymore. I need to speak with her.'

Roxas gulped audibly, catching the attention of the girl in question.

"Namine...I..."

She stared up at with deep, blue opals and rosy cheeks. No anger entered her clear; only confusion.

"Y-yes, Roxas?"

Roxas stuttered, trying to apologize, but was distracted by an ear-piercing shriek.

"ROXIE!"

The only thing he saw was a head of red hair and shimmering golden irises.

"Hey, Cleo. What's up?" Cleo nudged Namine aside and stood in front of Roxas. For Christmas, the rich brat had decided to be an angel.

"Nothing, sweetie. You look so adorable!" Cleo went to pinch his cheek, but he grabbed her wrist.

Feeling rejected, Namine backed away slowly, watching intently as Cleo started to drag Roxas away. A pang nailed her square in her heart. She didn't know what it was, but she wasn't sure if she wanted too either.

A catty grin emerged itself on Cleo's face as she noted, from the corner of her eye, that Namine had enter the faculty.

'Perfect.'

The day had past in a flash. Many of the students decided to cut class early, figuring it would save they time to ready themselves for their evenings. It had been finalized by Hayner that the party would start at four and end tomorrow at noon. (2)

"Hey, Nami. Wait up!"

She swiveled around only to be engulfed by Selphie's bear hug technique.

"Hi, Selphie. You ready for the party tonight?"

The brunette nodded vigorously, scaring a few passing pupils.

"But of course! Selphie Jami is always ready to boogie!"

Selphie struck a Elvis pose, causing her friend to laugh hardily.

"Boogie? Who says that anymore, Sel?"

"I do. I swear it's going to be popular again someday."

"Hehe. Do you know if Sora and Roxas are coming too?"

The taller smirked knowingly as Namine's face went from rosy to crimson.

"Why so anxious to know, Nami?"

"No reason."

"Come on, Namine." Selphie stopped Namine as they reached the crosswalk, waiting for traffic to die down. "I know you totally dig Roxas."

"I do not!"

'Even though he looked so adorable with those antlers and nose.'

Selphie put her hands to her mouth and huffed on them, trying to revive life back into her dead fingers.

"My God, did it get colder or is it just me?"

Namine nodded as she too felt the temperature decreasing.

"I know. I don't think it was ever this cold in Armetis before. Kinda gives you an ominous feeling, doesn't it?"

Both girls shuddered once again; their hopes of hot chocolate and blazing fires brighten as home came into perspective.

&&&

"Please, mom? You know we hate these ridiculous business gatherings. So please, can we go to Hayner's?"

The Nasumi twins sat erect on the sofa as they waited for their mother's reply. The living room, which they were occupying, was probably the most decorated in the whole house. Its color of emerald, crimson, gold, and cream gave the room a warm appearance despite the freezing weather beyond its walls.

Wreaths, ribbons, and a one story tree also helped give the area a sense of Christmas spirit.

Mrs. Nasumi sipped her tea daintily, seeming to not even notice that one of her children

had spoke.

But she did.

Soft music played in the background as Megumi's eyes opened. A decision had been reached.

"Sure, you boys can go. I, myself, find these parties just as dull too."

Sora and Roxas jumped up in glee and gave each high-fives. They ran over to their mother and at the same time, placed a kiss on a cheek.

"Thanks, mom. We'll be home by lunch tomorrow." She nodded in compliance and as Roxas was leaving; she halted him.

"Roxas, promise me you won't let your brother drink too much. You remember what happened last time."

Roxas snickered in remembrance.

It was at the last Christmas party. Someone had accidentally split some rum into the punch bowl. Sora drank about half the bowl before he realized that it was spiked. Now, if you thought you've seen someone really loopy before...Well, Sora made a whole new level.

After consumption, Sora started to complain about it being so hot inside the house. Nobody paid mind as he stepped out for some air. About twenty minutes later, everyone freaked out when they heard a lady screaming outside. Roxas had gotten out there first and nearly busted a gut.

There was Sora, sitting in the fountain stark naked and talking to the dolphin figurine in the middle. A few other passerbys soon ceased to watch the naked kid make an ass of himself. Soon Sora stood up, hopped out, and laid in the snow, showing all the world what he was born with.

"I'ma gonna makea snow angel!"

Clutching his stomach, Roxas, now, felt that he needed to laugh. He waved to his mother, promising that he would keep vigil on Sora.

Before he knew it, he and Sora were on their way to the party.

(1) – This is actually a real event that did happen. Though, of course, it wasn't named Pisca.

(2) - For them, I'm going to make school end at two and start at seven.

Even though I feel like this chapter is totally useless, it made me giggle a few times. I don't know when I can update again, but please review and tell me what you think.

Stay tuned.
