[Sora's got a smile bright enough to rival the sun when he finds his present. It's medium sized, the box about as long as his forearm, but it's heavy like a book.]

[He rips into the wrapping paper, smile on his face until he finally gets it open. And then his smile fades.]

[Inside is a photo album, photos he never took of places he's been. Friends he's made. Adventures he's had. Each page is another piece of his journey, including near the end where photos of people he's met at Vatheon smile back at him.]

[He just sits back on his feet, quietly running his fingers over the pages. When he realizes last half of the photo album is empty, a soft smile returns.]

[Roxas silently walks up behind Sora and peers over his shoulder.]

That's a lot of pictures.

[lockandkeyblade]

[Aw g-geeze, Roxas! Um. Sora's not getting teary eyed, he's not. He's just looking away and... rubbing his eye a little. Maybe.]

Uh... y-yeah. They're all the places I've been. Whoever took em' is pretty good.

[dealwithaweek]

They do look nice. [He quickly scans the page.]

Hey... isn't that Wonderland?

[lockandkeyblade]

It is... How'd you know? You've been there or something?

[dealwithaweek]

Yeah, for missions. [Which was all the time really.]

It's... an interesting place.

[lockandkeyblade]

Yeah that's one way to put it.

[He shuffles through the photos page by page... and then skips ahead.]

I think this is my favorite part though.

[... and flips it open to a blank page with no photos in it.]

[dealwithaweek]

But... there's nothing there.

[lockandkeyblade]

That's what I like about it. There's all this space to put new stuff.

Man whoever did this was good. They even got a couple here from Vatheon.

[dealwithaweek]

Heh. I doubt there's enough room in there for you.

[lockandkeyblade]

Heeyyy, what're you tryin' to say?

[dealwithaweek]

I guess what I'm trying to say is... you need to find the person who took those photos.

Doesn't that mean he was following you around?

[lockandkeyblade]

Probably! But I don't think any of this stuff is supposed to be like that.

It would've been creeped out if I hadn't seen everybody else's present first. A lot of this stuff shouldn't exist, you know. I figure this is like that too.

[dealwithaweek]

Shouldn't exist... [doesn't that sound familiar?] Maybe not.

But that could probably mean someone's been watching all of us.

PRESENT HAS BEEN RUINED.

[lockandkeyblade]

I always figured they did this with magic or something...

M-Maybe you're right.

[ He can't help but peer over Sora's shoulder as he passed. The kid looked so happy, it made Luka curious. Of course, he catches sight of the pictures and the album. Wow. Memories. ]

Looks like someone got an awesome gift for Christmas.
