Two hours into the night, Riku had already delivered presents to every good person in Radiant Garden, Agrabah, Never Land, Atlantica (he just dropped presents into the ocean), and The Deep Jungle. He also delivered tons of coal to The World That Never Was. Xehanort was going to be pissed in the morning. He still had many other worlds to visit. He had to eat all the cookies everyone had set out for him and he was already full. Riku was glad that the climates in many of the worlds were different but still cold. Radiant Garden was below zero while Never Land had cool springlike weather.
Riku's next stop was Twilight Town. He couldn't wait to stop there. He had become friends with Roxas and his friends through Sora. He hadn't seen Roxas in a while but Riku heard that Roxas would be at the Christmas party Hurky was holding at her house the next day.
After stopping at numerous houses, Riku landed the sleigh on the roof of Roxas' house. Riku pulled out the list and checked for Roxas' name.
"He's been good and Santa's giving him...AN ELECTRIC GUITAR?" asked Riku. "IS HE NUTS?"
Ryo rummaged through the bag of gifts and took out a box that was beautifully wrapped in shiny blue paper and a green bow with Roxas' name on it. "I think he'd make a great guitarist." she commented. "He told me that Hayner was teaching him how to play the guitar."
Riku took the box and went down the chimney. He slid down until he hit the bottom of the fireplace. Riku stood up and looked around. There was a tree standing in the living room but it was not lit up since Roxas' parents didn't want to start a fire overnight. Riku looked to the wall and saw pictures of Roxas and his parents. Roxas was an only child. There weren't pictures of any other blonde haired kids as Riku could see.
He walked over to the tree where it was laden with presents wrapped by Roxas' parents. There were also presents from Hayner, Pence, and Olette which all said Do not open until Christmas.
Riku placed the guitar under the tree and walked back to the fireplace. He magically shot back up and jumped out of the chimney. Santa had given Riku some of his powers but it was temporary. They would wear off once he got back to the workshop."
"Now we have to go to Namine's house." said Ryo, checking off Roxas' name. "Her present is an art set."
"An art set?" asked Riku. "If you ask me, that's a pretty boring present to ask for."
"But she requested an expensive type of art set." explained Ryo. "It's got all kinds of stuff made from expensive materials from unknown worlds."
Riku flew all the way to Namine's house, went down her chimney, and put the present under the tree. Right when he was walking to the fireplace, there was the sound of a loud growl. Riku turned around to find a fluffy white cat growling at him. It was Marshmallow, Namine's mean Persian cat. It only liked Namine. It liked to attack Roxas and other people.
"Nice Marshmallow..." said Riku as he backedaway nervously. Just be calm, Riku...
Marshmallow stepped more and more forward to Riku. Cats never really liked Riku. His family had a 6 year old gray and white cat named Daisy. She only liked Riku's twin brother and their parents. She loved to scratch people, especially Riku.
Riku immediately ran to the chimney and went back up. He ran to the sled and caught his breath.
"What happened to you?" asked Ryo.
"Stupid...stupid cat!" panted Riku.
He paid a few more visits to other houses in Twilight Town. Riku delivered a lot of Nintendo Wiis and PS3s to people. Riku even delivered a present to Axel. He made the good list this year. Riku fell down his chimney with a wrapped iPod nano. Riku walked to the brightly lit tree and put the present under it.
Riku turned around to find a sleepy eyed Axel walking around in his PJs of a light blue t-shirt and candy cane pajama bottoms.
Oh crap, thought Riku. He saw me!
But Axel didn't walk over to Riku. He walked over to the kitchen, got some pop tarts for some weird reason, and walked out. Riku got a closer look at Axel and saw that his eyes were closed.
Is he sleepwalking? thought Riku.
"Yes, Roxas and Namine, I got yer pop tarts...zzzzzzz...Got it memorized?" Axel said sleepily as he walked back upstairs.
Riku laughed silently to himself and went back up the chimney.
A few more hours were spent delivering presents. Finally, Riku and Ryo reached Destiny Islands, where it was about 11:30. There was also a light rain falling.
"Where do we go first?" asked Riku.
Ryo looked at the list and turned to Riku. "I think we should go to Sora's. Santa really wants us to give him this present."
It was a special medicine for Sora. He had wanted to be well for the holidays. Before Riku left, Santa had given the medicine to him.
"Make sure Sora gets this medicine." said Santa. "One spoonful will cure the cold but Ryo would have to disguise herself as Sora's mother."
Back in reality, Riku landed on Sora's roof with the medicine in his hand. "Ryo, you're needed for this mission." he said.
Ryo jumped out of the sled and walked to Riku. "Let's go!" she said.
