[Sora smiles up at the chocobo - man, if he could have one of these as a pet... that would be aweseome. Especially if he could take it to another world. When a bunch of toys are handed to him, he takes them easily enough. A nod of his head.]
Nope, it's my first time here. [No one told him he'd been to this world before. Maybe his other self is in Crystal stasis at the hospital.] When I found out what she'd done I made her give them back. [He notices that smile, notices how it looks and wonders if that's how his looks sometimes.] Sorry about your friends, it's not easy seeing them like that. I... um... seriously? [Sephiroth's not trying to kill everyone? That is definitely new.] Guess I've got a good opportunity to get to know him too.
[Now is when Sora gives Cloud an encouraging smile.] Don't worry, Cloud, I get it. It'll be fun getting to know you.
[Sora turns back to the kids too, the smile from before only getting bigger.] Who wants to hear about the time I saved Christmas?
[The kids all cheer and he starts handing out some of the gifts he has.] I was in Santa's village when I discovered that someone had taken all of Santa's presents. Everyone believed that one of my friends, Jack Skellington, had taken them so he could be the one to deliver all of the toys. He was determined to prove his innocence so I helped him find clues and track down the real thief! We followed the trail but not the person who'd taken the gifts so we decided to set a trap. So we hide inside of a big huge wrapped present box, waiting for the culprit to take the bait.
When it did, we jumped out and discovered.... [A pause to allow the anticipation to build, the kids hanging on every word.] A really big machine that looked like a person! Taller than a chocobo! It was the one stealing the presents! It was searching for a heart because it didn't have one and thought that there might be one inside the gifts. But it didn't understand that it wouldn't find a heart inside of a box - it's in each and every one of you.
[He points to one of the kid's chest, poking them a little and making them giggle.] That's the best gift any of us can ever give, so use them to show others how much you care, okay?
[The kids all nod their heads eagerly. Sora looks over at Cloud.] Right Santa?
