My Pov

We made it back to Halloween Town and saw several Heartless juggling presents.

"Nightmare Lorelei!" I shouted. Several bats flew and attacked the Heartless. The bats destroyed the Heartless and we gathered the presents. That's when the door to the doctor's lab opened and he stared yelling.

"Oh, help! Someone help me! My latest experiment is gone— it's been stolen!" the doctor cried. The doctor told us that someone knocked him out and when he came to, his experiment was gone.

"Maybe the person who stole the experiment, is the same one stole the presents!" Jack said.

"You think so?" Sora asked.

"Worth a shot." I said. We devised a plan and headed back to Christmas Town. I took time to notice my new clothes.I wore a white blouse with a midnight blue corset-styled top connected to pale blue braces by an ice blue diamond. At the center of the corset was a strip of powder blue ruffles with two diamond-shaped gold buttons. The bottom of the corset portion was zigzagged and lined in silver. Similarly zigzagged material was visible underneath the corset. It was backed by deep blue ruffles. At the collar was a midnight blue bow with a snow flake shaped gem in the center with two silver bell-shaped tassels hanging from it. A midnight blue skirt with light blue pinstripes, and dark blue ruffles lined the bottom. A light blue overlay, shaped like diamonds, with silver and white designs, was attached over the main skirt. Between the spaces of the overlay were gold snowflake and diamond designs, matching the gold piping towards the bottom of the skirt. Between each upper section was a silver bell-shaped tassel piece. On the left corner was a small silver diamond-shaped ornament hanging from the overlay. My heels became midnight blue ankle boots with indigo outsoles and heels, matching the cuffs of the shoes. Accents on the shoes were gold, while ice blue bows sits at the throat. The stockings included had different designs; the right was a pale and milky blue diamond check pattern while the left was a solid soft blue. My crown became a thick marine blue headband with a light blue chain printed on it with an electric pink bordered-marine blue star attached on every two chain intersections. Three connected gold-lined diamonds were attached to the left of the headband, with the side ones being light blue and the center one being marine blue. A smaller diamond could be found on the center diamond. It came with a pair of beaded earrings with a small golden diamond attached to both earrings; the left one being shorter with a marine blue diamond attached to the end, while the right one was longer with a silver chain extension and had a pink and blue star attached at the end(Look at Aikatsu; Winter Sprite Coord). Both Mew and Eve had a snowflake accessory on their left ear, along with a silver bell tied around their necks with a blue ribbon.

"Have you found the thief?" Santa asked.

"Almost, Mr. Claws!" Jack said. Jack told Santa his plan. At first, he wasn't sure about, but agreed this once. Our plan was; create a bunch of fake presents as bait, find a place to set the trap and then wait. We finished making the presents. Now the only problem left was to find a good enough place. Santa lead us outside to a plaza that was perfect.

"Jack... what exactly IS your plan?" Santa asked.

"I've got it all figured out." Jack said.

"You do..." Santa said, not convinced.

"Of course! And I also have a wonderful idea. If we catch the thief for you, I would be honored to deliver the—" Me and Sora cut him off by covering his mouth.

"And on that note, we'll be going." Sora said.

"We'll try not to be long sir." I told Santa. We all pushed Jack to the plaza and saw a very large present. We all hopped in and closed it. Needless to say, it wasn't comfortable.

"Stop kicking!" Donald shouted.

"It's not me, Donald." Goofy said.

"Leaf!" Leafeon exclaimed.

"Patience, friends." Jack said.

"Rai!" Raichu exclaimed.

"Hush!" I exclaimed.

"I said cut it out!" Donald snapped.

"Veon!" Eve exclaimed.

"Gawrsh, was that you?" Goofy asked.

"How come we have to be the bait?" Sora asked.

"Good plan, eh?" Jack asked.

"I hope this thief shows up soon, because I can't take much more of this." I said.

"Mew!" Mew exclaimed.

"Ouch!" Donald shouted. We went silent the second we heard clanging. It got closer and closer. The second it was right in front of us we jumped up, opening the present.

"Gotcha!" Sora said. That's when we saw it was some kind of machine.

"Dr. Finklestein's experiment did it!" Jack exclaimed. The experiment was strong and tricky. Whenever we manage to knock a body part off, that part became independent and attacked us along with the rest of the body. And when we'd dismantle it completely, all the body parts would attack. Then it would put itself back together in a different way. I pointed my Keyblade at.

"Icicle Storm!" I shouted. Thousands of tiny icicles hit the experiment. It fell to the ground and vanished. Santa rode in on his sleigh into the plaza.

"Did you catch the thief?" Santa asked.

"Naturally!" Jack said.

"It seems the doctor's moving puppet was the thief." I said.

"I just can't figure out... why the doctor's experiment would go around stealing Christmas presents." Sora said.

"Hmm... The doctor's made a moving puppet? I see... He is always tinkering with things. Now listen, Jack. I'd like to thank you, and while delivering presents is something only I can do, I can give you an idea of what it's like." Glee lit up Jack's face. He hopped in the sleigh and took off. "Yes, all that puppet wanted was a heart." Santa said. We went back to Halloween Town and explained to the doctor. He explained that he hadn't given the puppet a heart like Sally. He wasn't too upset about the puppet.

"Still, why steal presents if it wanted a heart?" Sora asked.

"Maybe because... presents are a way to give your heart to someone special." Sally said.

"That makes a lot of sense. I feel bad for the puppet." I said. That's when Jack appeared out of the sky and snow started to fall.

"What a nice present." Sally said. Jack was confused, but Sally explained what a present was.

"Ah yes. Santa asked me to give these to you." Jack said. He held out two small presents. "One was from him to a little boy and the other was given to him to give to you." One was Tai's name on and the other had mine. We left Halloween Town and headed off. I decided to wait and open them, especially since one was for Tai. I wondered how my little boy was doing?
