Chapter 6:
Happy Holidays part 2
Sally had taken everybodies measurements and was now making costumes. A vampire for Sora, a witch for Kairi, a werewolf for Riku, and a devil for Roxas. While she sewed, the teens went to explore again. Sora and Riku were staying as far away from mistletoe covered roof tops as possible, looking in all the little windows, seeing Christmas Town's little people prepare for their busiest holiday of the year, even though it was no where near Christmas.
"Hey guys, I'll catch up with you later ok?" Roxas asked.
"Alright, we'll call you when you're costume needs to be put on." Sora replied.
Roxas waved behind his head, as he walked up the snow covered hill, to look for a place to be alone. He was walking for a long time, not really thinking about anything, just looking for some fresh powder to sit in. His eyes scanned the ground carefully, he watched the random directions of all the little foot prints of the elf children of this part of this world. When he finally came accross some fresh powder, he simply sat down. He didn't care if his pants got wet, he was going to change soon any way.
He only came out here for one reason, to get away from it all. He wanted some time with Sora out of his head, and to be out of Sora's. The blond boy began to doodle randomly in the snow, not trying to draw anything, just scribbling.
When Roxas lifted up his finger and looked into the snow he sighed, "C'mon, I came out here to forget about that!" He yelled, wiping away the image in the snow.
The picture had been a very bad drawing of Axel, Naminé, Xion, an himself. Roxas was trying to keep everything about Naminé out of his mind, it hurt too much when he did think about her. Why? Because when he did, all he could see was the horrible possibilities of why she hadn't been there when Kairi woke up that morning that seemed so far away, and so close at the same time.
"Why can't there be another clue, somewhere. One that we know is hers?" Roxas asked himself, leaning his back into the snow.
He closed his eyes, and tried to think of a way to find the missing blond girl. Eventually, he was dreaming.
Roxas' dream
"Hey, Roxas, let's play DDR!" Naminé called.
"Why?" Roxas asked.
"Beacuse, it's fun, stupid." She replied.
"Fine." Roxas got up from the cold couch and walked over to the matt.
"Want to bet?" Naminé asked playfully.
"Sure, if I win... you have to... SING! You have to play singstar by yourself! Noone else can sing with you!" Roxas claimed, pointing at the petite girl.
"Ok, if I win, you have to take me to a chick flick, and you can't go to the bathroom in the middle like last time!" Naminé smiled.
"Deal!" Roxas yelled.
The two blonds then did the three round competition mode on their DDR game, and tied. They both got all perfects on all three songs.
"Ok, so do we have a rematch, or did we both lose?" Roxas asked.
"You both lost." A girl's voice called from behind them.
It was Selphie, they were all at school for and end of the year party, and Selphie had secretly been watching their whole dance off.
"Ok, I'll play singstar next time I go to you and Sora's house, and you'll take me to a chick flick on... Friday. Does that work?" Naminé asked.
"I guess." Roxas sighed.
"We don't have to see a movie if you don't want to, Roxas." Nami whispered.
"But, I wanna see a movie with you. Just, not a chick flick."
"Well, we could see Twilight, I've been dying to see it. That has vampires and fighting in it."
"You sure it won't freak you out?" Roxas asked.
"Yeah, I read the book, it's really sweet."
"How's a vampire flick sweet?"
"You'll see."
"Ok, I'll pick you up at-"
End of Roxas' Dream
"ROXAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAKE UP ALREADY! YOU'RE GONNA GET US A COLD!!!!!!!!!" Sora's voice was yelling.
Roxas opened his eyes slowly and saw Sora shaking him.
"SORA I'M AWAKE!! LET GO OF ME ALREADY!" Roxas commanded.
"Oh, sorry Roxas." Sora said.
"What do you want any way?" Roxas asked, sitting up.
"You're costume's ready for you to try on. I went looking for you, and found you asleep in the snow." Sora answered.
"How long was I out?"
"I dunno, probably an hour, since it took me so long to find you."
"WHAT! Holy! I'm gonna freeze to death!"
"Why do you think I woke you up? C'mon, let's head back to town, where we can go inside."
The two boys walked in silence for a long time. It was weird, so Sora spoke up.
"So...what were you dreaming about?" Sora asked.
"The last day of first semester, when me and Naminé had our dance off." Roxas replied, smiling.
"Did you guys ever go see that movie...ummm... Twilight right?" Sora asked.
"Yeah, she really liked it."
"Did you?"
"It was...pretty good, there were somethings I didn't get though, Naminé said that I would have to read the book to get it." Roxas replied.
"Me and Kairi saw it too, she squealed EVERY time that Edward guy came on, I thought I was deaf in my left ear after that." Sora said, rubbing his ear.
"Naminé squealed at that Jasper dude." Roxas laughed.
"What's so funny about that?"
"I gave her so much crap for it. She got so mad. 'It's just a movie, besides, you probably thought Alice and Rosalie were hott.' It was hilarious."
"Haha."
They were now back in town, and when they got in the workshop, Kairi was in her costume. Sora drooled at the site.
"Chill dude, no nose bleeds." Roxas said, walking over to his costume.
"Shuddup!!" Sora yelled, putting his hand to his nose, just incase.
"Sora! Isn't it cute? Sally really did a great job!" Kairi giggled.
"Y-yeah K-Kairi, wow." Sora blinked.
"Sora, you perv, I know what you're thinking." Riku said, punching Sora's head.
"H-hey! Leave me alone! It's Sally's fault for making the costume like that." Sora called.
"Just put on you're costume, you freak." Riku said, throughing the clothes at the stupid brunnette.
Sora walked into the changing room and got ready. Roxas came out of his holding his tie.
"Kairi, can you tie this for me?" Roxas asked.
"I'll do it, she couldn't tie a tie if her life depended on it." Riku said, making Kairi stick out her tounge.
When Riku and Sora were changed, they were all ready to search Halloween Town for the blond nobody, or at least signs of her.
"Roxas, can you come here for a moment?" Santa asked.
"Sure." Roxas replied, walking over to Saint Nick.
"Roxas, I wanted to tell you that there is someone who knows where your dear Naminé is."
"R-Really! Who?!" Roxas was excited.
"Lock, Shock, and Barrel. Do you know of them?" Santa told.
"Yes, where are they exactly?" Roxas asked.
"Helping to get ready for Halloween. they should be with the mayor, if not, then he'll know where they are." He smiled.
"Thank you so much!" Roxas jumped up, and ran out of the workshop, to the tree with a jack-o-lantern on it, and jumped in.
"I wonder what Sandy Claws said." Jack said.
"I have a hunch." Sora replied, before he jumped into the tree, followed by Kairi, the Riku, and finally Jack and Sally.
