I do not own Kingdom Hearts or Christmas.

A/N: So, at this point I'm not sure if I'm inspired or just terrified for my life, lol! One of my friends at school is reading my stories now and she wants me to keep writing! She's really awesome and, of course, who doesn't love band kids! XD I'm pretty sure this inspiration though, I haven't written anything so lighthearted in awhile, so enjoy everyone!

Chapter 13

It was a few hours after the snowman project and the couple had both gotten warm by the fire. It was at this time that Riku walked into the house accompanied by his girlfriend, Xion. Ari popped up off the couch and skipped over to her older brother, "Hey, Ri-Ri! You and Xion wanna do a gingerbread-decorating contest with us? The other guys said that they'd judge it for us!" Riku sighed at the nickname that his sister had deemed him that he hated. Xion giggled, "Ri-Ri? I might have to use that one!" Riku let out a groan, "Not you too, Xion!"

She just kissed him on the cheek, "Sure, we'd love to!" She decided for them both and now Riku would just have to go along with it. So, the two couple headed over the Sora and Roxas' house for the contest of uber Christmas delight. When they got there, Sora answered the door, just about knocking over Ari with a very tight hug. Axel sighed, Sora always got hyper with just the least bit of sugar. So, the group headed to the kitchen where Demyx was along with Roxas.

Demyx smiled, "Hey guys! Everything's ready here so, I guess we should start. First off, here are the rules! You all get thirty minutes to finish your houses, you will be paired up and no sabotaging the houses of others! Is everyone clear on that?" They group nodded and Demyx pressed the start button on his stopwatch, "Your time starts now!" And so, the two couples began construction their houses.

"How about I apply the frosting and you direct me where to put it?" Axel asked the blonde girl next to him. She nodded, knowing that he had way steadier hands than her own. She began point out where and giving little suggestions through the whole time. Overall, their house was being constructed very nicely. And that's when the trash talk started. Riku looked over at his sister and her boyfriend, chuckling, "It looks like it got hit by Santa on one of drunk Christmas Eve's."

He began laughing as Xion reprimanded him quietly. Axel raised an eyebrow, challenging him to continue. "Well, yours look like it got hit by a couple of terrorist, Ri-Ri." Axel said as a comeback, mocking his nickname at the last second. This led to a reprimanding from Ari. And so, the trash talk continued. Well, boys will be boys.
