Oh, c'mon. There's no way Santa could've actually showed up here. Sora may think he's real, but I still don't buy it.

Besides, I didn't ask for some foam bat. Why would I need one when I've already got a real weapon?

action;

[Well, the irony is that Riku's wearing that dinky little hat Atoli gave him as he searches the village for a few more friends of his. Namely, Sora, Kairi, and Xion, as he's got presents for each of them.

Really, he's only wearing the hat to keep warm. Of course, that doesn't mean people can't poke fun at him.]

Foam bat? A Struggle bat?

[Voice!]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

So that's what it's called...

[Voice!]

[valorandwisdom.livejournal.com]

I need to see it to know for sure, but that sounds like one.

[Voice!]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Well, it's blue, if that helps.

Hold on, though. I can go grab it if you want to see.

[Voice!]

[valorandwisdom.livejournal.com]

[yelling after him] If it's got a yellow handle, it's a Struggle bat!

[Voice!]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

That's it, then.

[Mystery solved!]

Still, where are you right now?

[Voice!]

[valorandwisdom.livejournal.com]

At home, what about you?

[Voice!]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Just taking care of something. I'll be back in a second; there's something I need to show you, anyway.

[Voice!]

[valorandwisdom.livejournal.com]

Okay. But we need to go cut more firewood soon, we're running low.

[Island kids need HEAT.]

[voice -> Action]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

We can take care of that in a bit.

[And before long Riku arrives~ With presents...and that hat. Shh, it keeps his head warm.]

[Action]

[valorandwisdom.livejournal.com]

[He's grinning at the hat. You're gonna be Santaku for winter, eh?]

You can ask the clothing store for a real hat, you know.

[Action]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Trust me, I know.

[He's doing this...really just to humor Sora.

And he'll pull out a kind of lumpy package.]

[Action]

[valorandwisdom.livejournal.com]

[Well that's what best friends are for!]

[And he grins at the package, then up at Riku. He's seen his room, right?]

I thought you said you didn't have Christmas Spirit.

[Action]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

[Probably! He just hasn't said anything about it yet.]

Surprise, surprise.

[Deadpan look. Here, have the lumpy package.]

[Action]

[valorandwisdom.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised! See, I'm really surprised.

[He's grinning. And he'll take it and rip into it.]

[Action]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Sure you are.

[And inside he'll find a little model of a raft that Riku put together himself. It's even got a little say that reads "Excalibur". Now who suggested they named the first raft that? Hrmmmm]

[Action]

[valorandwisdom.livejournal.com]

[He'd almost forgotten that - it'd been so long ago. And then he'd named the gummi ship Highwind to honor Riku, and... yeah, it'd been awhile. Sora turns it over in his hands, looking at every angle, then looks up with a big, sincere grin.]

Thanks, Riku.

[Action]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

[Nostalgia, is good, no? Riku smirks right back. Just as planned!]

Hey, don't mention it.

[Action]

[valorandwisdom.livejournal.com]

[In this case, yes.]

Seen yours yet?

[Action]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I did. So whose idea was it, anyway?

[Action]

[valorandwisdom.livejournal.com]

Both of us! We just had to get you out for awhile.

[Whiiiiich had been hard. But accomplished!]

[Action]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Well, you guys definitely outdid yourself. I really wasn't expecting much.

[Le shrug!]

Re: [Action]

[valorandwisdom.livejournal.com]

[Have another grin, Riku.]

Yeah, that's why we had to do it.

[Action]

[stilldontgotit.livejournal.com]

Just had to catch me off guard, huh?

[Action]

[valorandwisdom.livejournal.com]

Definitely!
