I'll probably go back to posting weekly. I tried the other way, and my entire routine was screwy, so I'll be doing it the old way again.

Also, you guys are about to see so much DISNEY LORE! Much of which I pulled together for my lore documents that you can find on Tumblr and Deviantart.

Chapter 32: Magical Christmas


"This is a fancy setup." Axel glanced through the windows as the ship landed. "It's nothing like the one at Radiant Garden."

Goofy chuckled. "We did make the first gummi ships."

"We're really excited to see how the building of ships will change over time." Mickey pushed back from the controls. "But anyways, welcome to Disney Town." He hopped off the chair and headed to the door. Everyone followed him out into the dimmly lit room.

Gears clunked and chains rattled as the machines around the hanger worked, whether by purely mechanical means, magical, or both no one knew.

"Welcome back!"

"And Merry Christmas!"

Xion giggled as two chipmunks slid down the stone stair railing.

"Hi Chip! Hi Dale!"

"It's good to see all of you!" Chip bounced up to Goofy's shoulder as Dale hopped to Terra's, giving the young man a bright smile.

Dale piped up. "Oh, King Mickey! You probably would like to know that the new gummi ship designs passed the LP test."

"That's great!"

"The LP test?" Ven asked.

"The Lau-"

"Hey!" A new figure came hopping down the stairs toward them. A tall duck, donned in an aviator's jacket and hat bowed to the king before grabbing Donald. "It's been a while."

Donald tensed in the hug. "Yes it has, Launchpad." When the hug released, he huffed. "Is everything well?"

"Oh yeah." Launchpad waved to the others, still talking. "This new job testing the ships is really nice. Thank you, King Mickey for it. And by the way, Mr. McD and Mr. Von Drake showed up earlier."

"That's great news! Come on everyone! Let's get upstairs."

Chip and Dale hopped to Launchpad. "We'll see you later!"

"See you!"

Going up the stairs, Donald glanced back until they were out of earshot. "Launchpad crashes every ship he flies, so his new job is to test ships to see if they're crash-proof."

"Oh... the LP test."

"Exactly."

As they reached the top of the staircase, Mickey pushed the doors open. The soft light of mid-morning filtered in, causing everyone to blink for a moment before they beheld a beautiful topiary garden, covered in a blanket of snow.

"Wow! Xion gasped.

"Welcome to the castle." Mickey waved a hand and a small hatch on the side of the wall appeared. It opened as a few walking broomsticks came out. "Please get the luggage from the ships and take it to their rooms."

The brooms gave a nod and marched past.

Roxas watched them go by. "Did Master Yen Sid make those?"

"Actually, I enchanted them myself. Albeit, after a few failed attempts... one in particular went REALLY bad. I'll tell you later."

Going upstairs, they found themselves in front of a set of large double doors.

And by large... they were MASSIVE.

"How do you even open these things!?"

"Probably magic."

Goofy chuckled. "Not quite." Walking over to a small panel in the door, he knocked and it swung open as a tiny door.

Everyone burst into slight giggles.

"Amazing."

Mickey also chuckled as he went inside.

Following him in, a large room, that certainly fit the doors lay before them.

"Who the heck needs a throne room this big?" Isa muttered.

Goofy stepped up beside him, his dog ears hearing all. "We throw lots of parties in here. King Mickey mostly spends his time in the library. We mostly use this for special occasions."

"Makes sense."

And they could see the setup of one such occasion before them.

Brooms carried in tables and chairs, setting them up as a few people went around setting the tables. In the center of the room stood a Christmas tree that reached the ceiling. Garlands hung from the roof, and glittering lights magically hung in the air.

"Wow!"

Donald puffed out his chest. "Yep! Daisy did a great job!"

"Yeah, and you better get over and help her or she's gonna wring your neck."

Donald gasped as someone grabbed him in a hug from behind. A female duck in aviator clothing. Donald pushed her away. "Della!"

"Who did you think it was!?" She laughed, giving a real hug this time. "Good to see you, now go help Daisy, or she'll let you have it."

"Of course." He ran off toward the middle of the room, and specifically toward a duck in a purple dress.

The duck known as Della turned to them. "Hey there! You guys must be the people Donald has been sending me messages about. Name's Della Duck, but I'm sure Donald's told you all about me."

"Um..."

Della blinked. "Seriously, he didn't tell you guys about his TWIN SISTER!? Forget Daisy, I'm gonna wring his neck here and now! DONALD!" She charged toward him.

"They're siblings all right... they have a shared temper."

"Oh yeah."

"You ok?" Riku asked. They all turned and saw Mickey sighing.

"Yeah, I just thought some other people would be here by now."

"UNCLE MICKEY!"

The king turned around, just in time to get tackled by two tiny mice, one in red and one in blue.

Mickey laughed. "Boys! Good to see you!" He hugged them.

"We've missed you!"

"I've missed you too!"

"Tell us a story!"

"What adventures have you had!?"

"Please!"

"Hold on." The king sat up, those watching smiled. "Everyone, meet my nephews, Morty and Ferdie."

The two boys looked up at the guests.

Xion knelt down, giggling. "Hi there! I'm Xion."

"Hi."

The two mice looked up as the others introduced themselves, their eyes widening with each name.

"A-Are you the real people from the stories?" The one in red asked.

Riku looked over at the others and then back to Mickey, who nodded. "I guess so."

"Whoa!?" The one in blue hopped toward them, eyes sparkling. "I'm Ferdie!" He looked over at Terra. "Were you really a good guy, then bad guy, and now a good guy again?"

Terra chuckled slightly, especially at Mickey's slightly mortified face at the question. "Well yes. There was a lot more to the story, but that's the gist of it, I guess."

The other little mouse, Morty, looked up at Riku. "You're Riku! The real Riku! I-m gon-"

"Alright, boys. You can talk to them some more later." A tall mouse with brown fur, dressed in overalls and a purple jacket. "Why don't you go say hi to some other people."

"Ok, Dad." The two mice jogged off.

The tall mouse helped Mickey stand, glancing back at the others. "Hi, it's an honor to meet all of you. I'm Frank."

"Nice to meet you!"

A tall female mouse, dressed in a long pink robe, holding a staff with a moon on the end. She knelt down and hugged the king. "It's good to see you, Michael."

Michael?

Axel blinked. "Wait, have we been calling the king by a nickname the entire time?"

"Only certain members call me by my full name."

Terra held out a hand to her. "Then you must be Felicity. Oswald told us about you."

"Then you're part of the coalition. Well, for the rest of you, I am Felicity Fieldmouse, Queen of the Land of Illusion, the Prism Sorceress. And I'm Michael's older sister."

"Now that's a title." Axel muttered.

"It's nice to meet you, you're highness."

The sorceress giggled, opening her mouth to answer as another figure tackled Mickey.

"Don't tell me that you're having them be formal, Fifi." A rabbit with black and white fur, dressed in blues.

"I was about to say that they can call me by my name." She rolled her eyes. "And for those who don't know, this is our older brother, Oswald."

He looked up, leaning on Mickey's shoulder. "Pleasure. And thanks for keeping an eye on this knucklehead." With a playful shove, the rabbit nearly knocked his brother down.

Everyone watched with a laugh as the two began to bicker, with Felicity standing over her shorter brothers, trying to calm them down.

"Excuse me." A female voice approached from slightly behind them; they turned to see Queen Minnie, walking toward them.

Axel smiled. "Queen Minnie. Nice to see you."

"Nice to see you too, Lea." Her smile widened. "Terra, Aqua, Ventus, it's so good to see you three safe."

"Thank you, Queen Minnie."

The mouse walked up to Roxas and Xion. "And there are a few new faces here. Now, don't tell me, let me guess." She looked between the unfamiliar faces before pointing. "Roxas?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"And you must be Xion, and you Naminé."

"That's right."

"And you must be Isa."

"I am."

She giggled. "And Riku, good to see you."

"Same to you."

"Now, if you would all like to follow me, I'll show you to your rooms."

Naminé cocked her head to the side. "But aren't you the queen?"

"I am, but that doesn't mean I don't do much to help. Honestly, I prefer to do things myself. I'm no different or above anyone else." She giggled and motioned for them to follow. "And it's the least I can do."

As they followed her into the hallway, Goofy staying behind to help with the setup, Ven caught up to the queen. "Do you have any family coming?"

"I do actually. My younger sister, Mandy, and her family. They were going to come with Felicity and her family, but they're running a little behind." She sighed. "I haven't seen my sister, brother-in-law, or nieces in quite some time."

Riku caught up to her, smiling warmly. "I'm sure they're just as excited to see you as you are to see them."

"I'm sure they are."

Going to the end of a hall, on either side stood a doorway to a spiral staircase, and on the end stood another door.

"Girls, the room at the end opens into your suite. And boys, both tower suites are yours to share with whom you wish."

"Thank you so much!"

"It's no trouble."

Isa smiled down at her. "We can set ourselves up. Why don't you go back and wait for your family."

"Alright. And please join us back at the throne room for lunch at noon."

"Ok!"

With a nod, the queen walked back down the hallway.

Xion ran to the girls' room and threw open the door. A large suite, complete with a beautiful sitting area lay before them. Soft colors decorated the walls, and a balcony looked out over a snow-covered garden. Two bedrooms opened up on either side, each with two single beds in it.

"It's so pretty!"

"And our luggage is already here." Aqua pointed to a set of bags on the sofa. "So, how do we want to divide the rooms?"

Naminé tapped her chin. "I'm only staying tonight and then going home tomorrow, so maybe I'll share the room with Xion, so that when I'm gone, each of you has your own space."

"That works."

Back out in the hallway, Ven grabbed Riku and Roxas's arms. "We should have a teenager suite and an adult one!"

"I don't know about that." Lea smirked at Terra and Isa. "Think of all the chaos they could get into, especially after Riku leaves tomorrow."

"Come on!"

Terra nodded. "Roxas and Ven sharing a room... what kind of chaos could they bring?"

"Oh, so much."

The three teenagers glowered at the adults who all snickered. "Go ahead." Isa smirked. "We trust you."

"Sweet!"

Roxas smiled. "And hey, Ven might be able to keep Riku and me from killing each other."

"Hopefully." Riku reached over, playfully shoving Roxas's head.

Ven hopped back. "Last one upstairs is a rotten egg!"

The adults watched as the boys tore up the stairs to their own suite. "They'll be fine."

"Oh yeah."


"There you are." Mickey grinned as everyone came into the hall. "Just in time for lunch. And we have some other people to introduce you to."

The hall looked finished, all decorated and perfect.

Felicity and her family sat at the table across from Oswald and a black cat dressed in pink.

Minnie stood with some new figures: a female mouse dressed in blue, a male mouse in knight vestments, and two tiny female mice, one in purple and one in green.

Donald stood with Della and Daisy, laughing at some comment or joke.

Goofy was nowhere to be seen, but he probably had other places to be and people to see.

The king led them over to his family. "I don't believe most of you have met Ortensia."

Ven grinned. "Terra, Aqua, and I know her."

The cat looked up with a gentle smile. "Nice to see you again, Terra, Ven. And it's nice to meet the rest of you." She stood up and curtsied. "I'm Ortensia, Queen of Wasteland."

"And my amazing wife!" Oswald called over.

Everyone giggled a little.

Xion jumped slightly as something pulled on her leg. She looked down to see one of the little girl mice, the one in green, staring up at her. "Hi."

"Hi! I'm Melody. What's your name?"

"I'm Xion." She knelt down with a smile. "Are you Queen Minnie's niece?"

"Uh huh! And you're Xion!"

"I am."

Melody ran back to her mother without another word, pulling on her mother's dress and pointing back at Xion.

"What is that about?"

Mickey winked. "It's a surprise."

Huh?

Minnie waved them all over. "Everyone, come meet my sister, Mandy."

"Pleasure to meet you all!"

"And this is her husband Marcel."

The knightly mouse nodded. "Nice to meet you."

"And these two are Millie and Melody."

"Hi!"

"Hello!"

Mickey smiled warmly. "Well, why don't we get seated and have lunch, so we can discuss plans for the day?"

"Sounds good."

Taking a seat at the massive table, everyone watched as the magic brooms brought food from the kitchens.

"So, for our first-time guests, I figured we should explain the traditions here, so you know what to expect." Mickey looked around. "There are lots of festivities going on in town. People are probably swapping and selling baked goods today and there might be some other stuff. Tomorrow, there will be a parade in the morning, and around lunch there will be a performance reenacting an important event from this year. Then, Christmas day we will invite the whole town here for lunch and a massive gift exchange."

Minnie looked around. "This afternoon will be a great time to go into town and just enjoy yourselves."

"Great!"

Roxas looked over at Xion. "We've never gotten to play in snow before."

"You haven't!?"

"Nope."

Axel flashed the two a warm smile. "This is their first Christmas ever actually."

"Then let's make it a good one!"

"Yeah."


"Daisy got these for us?"

"Yep." Naminé spun around in her new winter clothes.

Xion looked down at her own. Twilight Town wasn't cold enough for this kind of clothing, but it would be perfect here.

"Let's go!"

Heading outside, the three ladies found the boys out by the castle gates, all bundled up for the cold.

"This is going to be awesome!"

"Yeah!"

The gates swung open to reveal the brightly colored town, covered in snow. Christmas lights twinkled from every rooftop, and people bustled about.

Everything seemed alive and bright.

Happy and full of life.

Ven took off into the snow. "Let's go!"

Roxas took Xion's hand and followed him into the snowy streets. People around waved, calling 'hello' and 'good day' as they rushed about, looking at everything.

Naminé and Riku followed closely behind.

They quickly left the older people in the dust.

"Is that Ven?" A little duck in red waved at them. "Ven!"

"Huey!"

The three triplets stood near a frozen pond. "Wanna come skate? We're playing hockey!"

"Sounds fun!"

Riku grinned. "Let's go!"

They ran over, seeing a few other kids all skating on the pond.

All the kids stopped.

"Whoa..."

"Is that them!?"

"No way!"

Naminé giggled. "We're definitely famous."

As the teenagers put on some skates, which magically seemed to adjust to their feet size, the other kids came over.

Dewey gestured to the group. "These are our friends!"

"Hi!" A female duck with a pink bow grabbed Riku's hand, shaking it violently. "I'm Webby!"

"Name's Gosalyn." A duck with soft brown feathers and red hair skated over, leaning on a hockey stick.

A duck with a pink streak in her hair skated up with a dark purple hummingbird. "I'm Lena, and this is my sister Violet."

"Pleasure to make your acquaintance."

A little gray parrot came over, smiling cheerfully. "Hi! I'm B.O.Y.D.!"

Another duck with glasses shyly skated over. "H-hello. I'm Honker."

"You guys any good at hockey?" Goslyn asked.

Riku shrugged. "Never played. I'm from an island, so we don't get snow."

"Then we'll show you the ropes!" Lena grinned. "We want to repick teams?"

"Probably! Same captains?"

"Sure." Louie pointed. "Goslyn is a captain and Huey is another."

After a few minutes of picking, Roxas found himself on Huey's team with Ven, B.O.Y.D., Webby, Louie, and Violet. Xion was on Goslyn's team with Naminé, Riku, Lena, Dewey, and Honker.

As they began playing, the adults finally caught up.

"Look how happy they are." Isa smiled warmly.

"I know."

Aqua sighed. "Even with everything that happened, and everything still going on they find joy in the little things. As life should be.

"Absolutely."

"How long do you think it will take for them to tire out?"

"Forever."

Terra laughed. "We might as well leave them be for a bit. I'm sure they'll have a great time with their new friends."

"Agreed. That means we can get secret shopping done for them and beat them back to the castle."

Axel nodded. "We can hide the presents in our suite."

"Let's get shopping then."


"YES!"

"Good job, Roxas!" Webby gave him a high five.

Honker sat down. "Can we stop now? I'm gonna get blisters."

"Sure!" Lena skated around him. "Let's head to the hills and sled instead!"

"Oh yeah!"

"Or have a snowball fight!"

Ven cheered. "Why not both!"

"Yeah!"

Taking off their skates, the group headed out of the main town, toward an area of hills.

"Wait for us!"

They turned around to see Millie, Melody, Morty, and Ferdie running after them.

"We've been looking all over for you guys!"

"You're just in time!" Louie cheered. "We're going sledding!"

"Awesome!"

Xion glanced around. "Where are the sleds?"

Violet pointed to the top of a hill. "There's a whole box of them up there. They leave them for anyone who wants to use them."

"That's awesome!"

Ven flashed the group a smirk. "And I've got a cool sled we can use."

"Really?"

"Oh yeah!"

They reached the top of the hill, and the kids began grabbing sleds. Ven stepped away and summoned his Keyblade.

"Cool!" Webby gasped.

"Watch this!" Spinning the blade, Ven threw it into the air. In a flash, it transformed into a long hoverboard that came flying down. With a leap, Ven landed on it, making it sink down to the ground.

"WHOA!"

"Show off."

Ven laughed. "We really need to teach you guys how to do that."

"Yeah, you really do." Riku huffed.

B.O.Y.D. scampered up to Ven. "Can I ride with you?"

"Sure! Hop on and hold on!"

The little parrot hopped on and grabbed Ven's leg.

The back of the board flared with magic and they shot off, sliding through the snow at lightning speeds.

"So cool!"

Riku tapped his chin. "Hey, those sleds can hold two or three people, right?"

"Yeah. And some can hold up to four."

He glanced over at the others. "I think we can make this even more fun."

"Ohhh, I getcha."

"Let's do it!"

When Ven and B.O.Y.D. came back, he let Gosalyn and Webby onto the board as well, since it was big enough. Xion sat on a sled with Violet and Lena. Naminé sat with Millie and Melody. Riku sat with the triplets. And Roxas sat with Honker, Morty and Ferdie.

"Ready?"

"Yeah!"

Xion, Roxas, and Riku summoned their Keyblades as Naminé focused, summoning new magic she'd learned recently.

"NOW!" All of them sent out a burst of wind magic behind them, sending the sleds shooting off the top of the hill.

They all screamed as they careened down the hill.

Roxas held out his other Keyblade, firing off a blizzard spell in front of his sled, carving a path that made them go even faster.

Webby, screaming over the wind, said what everyone felt. "BEST DAY EVER!"


"You guys played hard today." Aqua laughed as Xion and Naminé practically collapsed into their beds after dinner.

Exhausted.

But happy.

"That was the best..."

"I can't wait for tomorrow!"

"Well, get some sleep then."

"Ok..."

"Night."

Upstairs, the three teenage boys also crashed into their beds.

All dreaming of the fun they had that day, and the fun they would have the next day when the sun rose on Christmas Eve.
