• Roxas went on his knees and begged, “Please forgive give me about the stupid kiss! It was an accident I tell you! And I hate how you keep on avoiding me; you’re making me feel more and more guilty!”

    “After you seeing me exposed like that…” Naminé glared at the boy, “I still would, because I can’t believe you’re pathetic enough to go on your knees and beg for mercy!” she laughed.

    “Thanks Naminé,” Roxas smiled as he got up off the floor.

    “You’re welcome. Now get out of the room. I just wanna sleep,” Naminé laughed.

    “Okay good night,” Roxas smiled as he went out of the room.

    “Good night…” Naminé smiled back before she turned the lights off.


    It was December 25, Christmas. The day when all the little children would wake up and rush towards their Christmas tree to find all the many gifts that they believed Santa left for them. It was a truly happy day, a day of sharing and giving to your loved ones.

    Today the gang was to have dinner at six o’clock to seven, before heading back to the hotel for their planned out evening. Naminé and Roxas were getting along a lot better the past few days, but of course they’re still only friends.

    The girls were at Kairi and Selphie’s room trying on their dresses for the semi-formal occasion that evening.

    “I still can’t believe Naminé forgot her dress!” Olette exclaimed as she put on her matching orange high heels.

    “Lucky for her I packed extra!” Selphie smiled proudly as she fixed her hair.

    “Yeah, for once we’re actually lucky enough you over packed,” Kairi laughed as she put on three silver bracelets.

    “Hey guys, how do I look?” Naminé asked as she stepped out of the bathroom.

    She was wearing simple white dress that went right below her knees and had a light blue hue to it. It had a light blue ribbon around the waist that was tied in the back. Naminé left her blonde hair down because she never really liked it up anyway. She also wore a silver necklace with a white crystal.

    “You look so pretty!” Kairi complimented.

    “You look like a doll!” Olette added.

    “Roxas is totally gonna drool over you!” Selphie laughed.

    “Shut up!” Naminé blushed.

    The four girls were all wearing matching dresses. Kairi had a light pink one with a red ribbon, Selphie wore a pale yellow dress with a green ribbon, and Olette had a summer orange dress with a white ribbon (A/N: I was too lazy to describe all four dresses! XD).

    “Is the place were eating at that formal?” Naminé asked.

    “Yeah, it’s a French restaurant called, ‘Le Bleu Rose’,” Selphie smiled.


    The girls soon went downstairs to meet the guys. All the boys all wore black tuxedoes with a tie; they were different in their own way because of their chosen colors for their polos. For example Sora's polo was red, and Roxas wears a white one. The girls began giggling a bit as they noticed that the boys still had their original hair dues with no difference at all.

    “What?” Sora gave the girls a confused look.

    “Your hair is still the same,” Kairi smiled at she pointed at the spikiness.

    “The place is only semi-formal, so we all decided to keep our hair styles the same,” Riku smirked.

    “Riight…” Olette laughed.

    “Hello kids,” an older man with brown hair greeted the group. It was Selphie’s father, “That’s your limo outside. The adults and I will be taking a separate one, so enjoy!”

    “Thanks dad!” Selphie smiled. The others also thanked her father before getting in the white and polished vehicle.

    “Your parents are soo rich!” Naminé exclaimed in awe.

    “Yup!” Selphie smiled.

    Everyone chatted away until they reached their destination at the expensive French restaurant. The waiters and waitresses led them towards a separate table near the parents' own. It was a really big table for all eleven of them; it was a semi-circle table and the huge chair was attached to the wall. Starting from the end where everybody sat was Naminé, Roxas, Hayner, Olette, Pence, Sora, Kairi, Riku, Selphie, Tidus and last but not least, Wakka.

    They all ordered their fancy gourmet food, and enjoyed their meals.

    “Wow, Roxas looks hot in a tux! No Naminé, bad thoughts…evil thoughts!” Naminé yelled in her head, causing her cheeks to turn pink as she ate and looked down at her food.

    Beside her, Roxas was having the same mental arguments, “Wow, she looks great, but she’s just a friend dammit! She doesn’t think of me that way…”

    The rest of the group had a great time though before having to head back to the hotel again.

    Back at the hotel they were all lounging around in the main lobby.

    “Okay everyone, just change into some casual, yet festive clothes. Remember to grab your Kris Kringle presents, and then go to the penthouse where we’ll all meet with each other,” Kairi instructed.

    “A penthouse? Really!” Tidus exclaimed.

    “Yup, everything’s set there for us, so let’s go!” Selphie grinned.


    “You should wear something more festive Naminé,” Olette suggested as she grabbed her Kris Kringle gift (A/N: Refer back to chappie 9 for all your Kris Kringle needs; as in who is giving who a gift).

    Olette was wearing a red t-shirt with hollies in the front over a longer black top and some white capris. From what the brunette girl could see Naminé was just wearing white jeans and a sky blue hoodie.

    When Naminé compared herself to Olette she glared, “Fine!” she sighed and went in the bathroom with a different outfit.

    When she came out, she was wearing a plain white sweater and a bright red skirt that was just above her knees and black stockings. She also wore a designer red and white striped scarf that waskind of like the ones you see the American Eagle models wear and a Santa hat.

    “Better?” Naminé huffed.

    “Better!” Olette smiled, “Now let’s go to that party and join the others!” Olette put her shoes on and went out the door as Naminé followed behind.


    “Wow! Did your parents do this?” Olette asked in awe as she and Naminé entered the room.

    “Yup, they booked this penthouse for us and hired some people to set it up!” Kairi smiled.

    Inside the what used to be hotel room was a Christmas tree and even a food table. There were decorations everywhere; it really had a Christmas feeling to it.

    Olette and Naminé place their gifts under the tree and sat down beside Hayner and Roxas on the couch.

    “So what are we gonna do first?” Naminé asked.

    “We should play a game!” Tidus replied.

    “I know we can do Karaoke!” Selphie leaped for joy as she pulled out the activity out of nowhere.

    “Sure!” Sora agreed.

    “We should do duets since you have two microphones!” Olette suggested.

    “Sure! So who’s first?” Selphie grinned knowing all the duets are love songs.

    “Not me!” Riku stated along with Tidus and Wakka.

    “I’m just video taping!” Pence said making up his lame excuse.

    “How about you and me, Sora?” Kairi said enthusiastically as she looked up at the brunette boy.

    “Okay,” Sora blushed knowing all his friends were watching him.

    “Great, how about we choose the song, You’re the Reason?” Kairi smiled. Sora nodded as the beat of the song began.

    Kairi took a deep breath and began to sing:

    Kairi
    You're the reason why I found my way
    And you're the reason why I feel this way
    And you're the reason why I have to say
    I had to let you know you're my everything

    So many times I've been alone
    I didn't know what to do
    I don't know where I'd be
    If I didn't have, I didn't have you
    You comfort me
    Make me believe
    Give me the strength I need
    Since you came into my life it's been so heavenly
    Heavenly


    You're the reason why I found my way
    And you're the reason why I feel this way
    And you're the reason why I have to say
    I had to let you know you're my everything

    Sora looked at the screen as it was his turn to sing along:

    Sora
    So many things I wanna say to you
    I'd give my all to you just because
    You came around and gave me


    Sora & Kairi
    All your, all your love
    Now I'd sacrifice my very life
    All you have to do is say the word
    And there would never be no other

    You're the reason why I found my way
    And you're the reason why I feel this way
    And you're the reason why I have to say
    I had to let you know you're my everything

    You're the reason why I found my way
    And you're the reason why I feel this way
    And you're the reason why I have to say
    I had to let you know you're my everything

    Ooh ooh
    Ooh ooh
    You're the reason
    Ooh ooh
    And you
    You're the reason why I have a say
    Ooh you're my everything


    The beat of the song soon faded away, and Kairi kissed Sora on the cheek and smiled. The chocolate colored hair boy blushed and smiled back.

    The gang began going ‘Oooh!’ and ‘Awww…’ in the background as the cute couple sat back down on the floor together.

    “So who wants to try next?” Selphie asked the crew.

    “Me!” Roxas and Naminé said in unison.

    “Uhh…you can sing first… I mean if you don’t wanna sing a duet together…” Naminé blushed.

    “No, its okay…we can both have a turn quicker if we have a duet, so why not?” Roxas smiled as he blushed along with her.

    “O-okay…” Naminé stuttered, “What’s the matter with me? Why did I get all nervous all of a sudden?”

    Everyone saw what was going on and grinned. The two blondes didn’t pay attention as they picked up the microphones.

    “So what song do you want to do?” Roxas asked.

    “I don’t know any of these…” Naminé continued to search, “How about, Where Are You?”

    “Sure,” Roxas agreed.

    The soft beat began to play. Slowly some words came up on the screen; Roxas knew he had to say the words though, and not to sing it:

    I know you are out there baby...somewhere

    The beat began to play a bit longer then Roxas began to singing (A/N: Okay any words that are in brackets for the song means they’re saying it not singing):

    Roxas
    There is someone out there for me (I know there is somebody out there)
    I know she is waiting so patiently (yeah) can you tell me her name? (Somebody tell me her name)

    Selphie interrupted this moment by yelling 'It's Naminé', but he just glared at the hyper brunette and still continued to sing:

    This life-long search is gonna drive me insane (That’s right)
    How does she laugh? How does she cry? What's the color of her eyes?
    Does she even realize I'm here?
    Where is she? Where is she? Where is she? Where is this beautiful girl?
    Who is she? Who is she? Who is gonna complete my world?
    Where is she? Where is she? Where is this beautiful girl?
    Who is she? Who is she? Who is gonna complete my world
    dadadadadada dadadada dadadadadada (where are you?)

    As Roxas finished his end of the chorus, Sora stared at his cousin in disbelief, “Whoa, Roxas can sing?” Everybody in the room never thought Roxas had such a talented voice before.

    Naminé
    I'm staring out at the sky (Roxas: I see you baby)

    Naminé blushed as Roxas said the words but still continued with the song:

    Praying that he will walk in my life
    Where is the man of my dreams? (Roxas: I’m right here) yea-yeah
    I'll wait forever, how silly it seems
    How does he laugh? How does he cry? What's the color of his eyes?
    Does he even realize I'm here?
    Where is he? Where is he? Where is he? Where is this beautiful guy?
    Who is he? Who is he? Who is gonna take me so high?
    Where is he? Where is he? Where is this beautiful guy?
    Who is he? Who is he? Who is gonna take me so high?
    dadadadadada dadadada dadadadadada (where are you?)

    Both Naminé and Roxas began getting really into the song and it’s meaning without even knowing it as they stared deeply into each others eyes. Everyone watching them though tried to hold back their laughter and just grinned at what seemed to be a soon-to-be couple.

    Roxas
    There is someone out there for me (Naminé: there is someone out there for me)
    I know she is waiting so patiently (Naminé: so patient)
    Can you tell me her name (Naminé: can you tell me his name?)
    This life-long search is gonna drive me insane (that's right)

    Naminé
    How does he laugh? How does he cry? What is the color of his eyes?
    Does he even realize I'm here?

    Roxas
    Where is she? Where is she? Where is she? Where is this beautiful girl?
    Who is she? Who is she? Who is gonna complete my world?

    Naminé
    Where is he? Where is he? Where is he? Where is this beautiful guy?
    Who is he? Who is he? Who is gonna take me so high?

    Together
    dadadadadada dadadada (yeah) dadadadadada (Roxas: I know you out there)
    dadadadadada dadadada (yeah) dadadadadada

    Roxas Talking
    Where are you? I'm going to look all over the world baby
    'Cuz I know you are out there
    I know this might sound crazy, but I think I love you

    Together
    dadadadadada (that's right) dadadada dadadadadada
    dadadadadada dadadada (yeah) dadadadadada

    Roxas
    Where are you?


    As the music faded away everyone cheered. Who knew that the blonde couple could sing? The two sighed then looked at each other. Roxas and Naminé blushed, and then looked away from each other with a puzzled expression.

    The gang just gave the two a confused expression on their faces seeing that they didn’t know what was happening, but shrugged it off and continued playing.

    As the two took a seat again on the couch, Roxas gave a quick glance at Naminé and blushed before looking back down on his hands, “What’s this feeling, it seems so familiar...Wait, do I like Naminé?”
