Chapter 6

Riku fought against the darkness he was thrown in only to find…

RIKU: I'm… I'm back in my room. I'm alive! The spirits have given me another chance!

Riku was so happy now. After seeing what good people lived in this world, and seeing what his actions would do, Riku was a better person.

Riku left his home and headed for the poultry shop. He bought a hefty sized turkey, stuffed it in a sack, and started for Sora's house.

(SONG)

RIKU: With a thankful heart, with an endless joy,

With a growing family, every girl and boy,

Will be nephew and niece to me.

Will bring love, hope, and peace to me.

Yes every night will end, and every day will start,

With a grateful prayer and a thankful heart.

With an open smile and open doors,

I will bid you welcome, what is mine is yours,

With a glass raised to toast your health,

And a promise to share the wealth.

I will sail a friendly course, file a friendly chart,

On a sea of love and a thankful heart.

Life is like a journey. Who knows when it ends?

Yes and if you need to know, the measure of a man,

You simply count his friends.

Stop and look around you. The glory that you see.

Is born again each day, don't let it slip away.

How precious life can be.

With a thankful heart that is wide awake,

I make this promise, every breath I take,

Will be used now to sing your praise.

And to beg you to share my days.

With a loving guarantee, that even if we part,

I will hold you close in a thankful heart.

(SONG ENDS)

When Riku arrived at Sora's home, he forced a serious look onto his face. And, when he knocked on the door…

SORA: Um… Mr. Riku. What a… surprise.

RIKU: Why aren't you at work Sora?!

SORA: But sir, you gave me the day off.

(Riku barges into the house)

RIKU: Now what in the world would make me give you the day off?

SORA: It's Christmas sir.

RIKU: I don't care. You give me no alternative, but to give you…… a raise.

This completely shocked Sora and his family.

RIKU: And, I'm making you my partner.

SORA: Partner?!

As Riku gave the family the turkey, Sora was overwhelmed with joy.

SORA: Thank you Mr. Riku.

RIKU: Merry Christmas Sora. And, just call me Riku.

Riku was as good as the gold that he owned. With the raise in payment, Sora was able to afford his son's medical bill.

And so, as little Roxas observed…

ROXAS: God bless us, everyone.

What do ya say Jiminy, one more song? Gladly.

(SONG)

Cause what I love most about Christmas, is the way we show our pals that we care.

Cause the fun never ends when you give to your friends,

And you share the wonder of a Very, very, merry, merry Christmas.

With colored lights and candy canes too.

Of all the fun and neat stuff,

The candy and the sweet stuff,

My favorite Christmas wish will come true.

When I spend Christmas day, with you!

Merry Christmas to all! And to all a good night!

Well, that's our telling of "A Christmas Carol." I hope you'll look for future Kingdom Hearts musicals by me, the Future Keybearer.

By the way, how come you played the ghost of Christmas Future? Because the only person I could find that could be silent enough to play the part was Cloud. But unfortunately, he wouldn't do the song. Ah. Well, let's close up this story.

Happy Holidays.
