Chapter 7:

Happy Holidays part 3

Roxas ran right through the forest, far ahead of everyone else.

"Roxas...wait...up..!!" Kairi yelled, exhausted.

"Cut the poor boy some slack Kairi, Santa gave him a clue about Nami. Do you expect him to crawl there?" Sora asked.

"True, but he could at least slow down a little bit!" Kairi whined.

"We can walk if you want, I know where he's headed." Sora said.

"Naw, I wanna find Naminé just as much as he does." Kairi smiled.

They all continue to run until they reached the gate of the mayor's house, where Roxas stopped and waited for the others.

"What's up Roxas? Why'd you stop?" Sora asked.

"I don't want to just barge in there." Roxas said, as if Sora were an idiot. (Which he is ^^)

Jack came up, and opened the gate instead. They all walked through, up the steps, and on into the door.

"We should! We should!" A child's voice yelled.

"Absolutely! Let's try it at- OH! Jack! You're back! Good, we need some help planning next year's Halloween." The mayor's worried face's voice called.

"Well, that will have to wait. Sora's back, and he brought some friends that have never been here before." Jack replied.

"Sora!" Three voices said in unison.

"What'd you do Lock?" Shock asked.

"Nothing! What'd you do!" Lock yelled back.

"Barrel!" Lock and Shock yelled.

"What!!!?? I didn't do anything!" Barrel said, matter-of-factly.

"Guys, we aren't here 'cuz you're in trouble, so just chill. We only need to ask you if you know anything." Sora said.

"What is it?" The trick-or-treaters asked together.

"Do you know anything about Naminé?!" Roxas asked.

"Who's that?" Shock barked.

"We don't know anything about her." Lock said, putting his hand behind his back.

"Hah! You're lying! Tell the truth!" Roxas yelled.

"What?! I am not!" Lock called back, his hand still behind his back.

"His fingers are crossed, Roxas. All three of them have them crossed behind their backs." Kairi said from behind Lock.

"EEEEEEEPPPPP!!!" The kids screamed.

"GRAB 'EM!" Jack yelled.

Riku, Sora, and Roxas each grabbed one of the kids.

"Tell the truth now, or I'll take you off of prank duty." Jack ordered.

"Fine, fine. But, we want something in return." Shock said.

"What?" Jack asked.

"We want to go to the human world on Halloween, and scare the little human children!" Barrel announced.

"....Fine! Now, tell us what you know!" Jack agreed.

"That girl was taken to a world very very far from here. By a woman named Ausea. She's a real witch." Each child said a different sentence.

"Ausea, sounds like Nausea!" Sora laughed.

"Where'd they go?" Roxas asked.

"We don't know. Ausea said that she didn't want us to know too much, in case somebody asked us what had happened." Shock said, sticking her tongue out.


"Well, they aren't here. Maybe we should head somewhere that has a way to look up those kinds of things." Kairi suggested.

"Twilight Town?" Riku asked.

"Yeah, let's go there." Roxas said.

"Pffft. Nausea!" Sora laughed.
