I do not own Kingdom Hearts or Christmas.

A/N: Oh my gosh, I am so sorry for the long wait! I had regional auditions last week and musical tryouts on Monday. I didn't make either sadly. My week was pretty busy with homework and yesterday there was a scholarship presentation I had to go to for college and so on. This is the first time I've actually had to write for a while, not surprisingly, I'm sitting here during the super bowl. So, please enjoy this beginning of the Christmas party chapter!

Chapter 18

Night fell as the sun sleepily descended out of the sky. Demyx's doorbell had been ringing all afternoon. Finally, there were only two people who hadn't arrived yet. The doorbell rang and Sora pushed Demyx out of the way and opened the door. Axel was standing there, Ari next to him, hand in hand.

Sora smirked, "Hey there, lovebirds." Demyx sighed, "Come on, let them in Sora." So as Sora moved out of the way, the two entered the house. Demyx smiled, "So, you two are late." Axel sighed, running a hand through his hair and then crossing his arms and leaning against the wall. "I had a flat tire and then I ran over a cat and two pigeons and almost hit an old blind lady who was crossing the street. Also, I ran into a police officer's motorcycle by accident."

Demyx's mouth dropped as he just started laughing at the terrible luck the pair was having. "Sure, sure, it was an 'accident'," he said, putting air quotes around the word, 'accident'. "It was!" Axel sighed in desperation, "It isn't like you haven't had a bad day once in a while, Dem." Demyx shrugged as the three went further into the house, it was packed with a lot of people that Ari didn't know.

These were people that Axel had never wanted her to meet because one, either all of them didn't believe that Axel actually had a girlfriend that put up with him or two, they were just creepy in general. The group that was over was Demyx, Axel, and Roxas' coworkers from the store they worked at called 'Organization XIII.' Axel knew it was his mission to keep Ari away from the creepy guys for the remainder of the night. And so the craziness began to ensue.
