A/N: Hi! I'm at last writing my sequel to "Twelve Girls, Thirteen Boys and Savages". This story will be about Katie and Jack as adults and their daughters. I won't continue if I get bad reviews. I've been into the musical Grease recently (though I don't like the story, and the only interesting character is Rizzo) so I decided to begin with a songfic of the song "Summer Nights". So enjoy, and don't forget to review!
People were perplexed by the song lyrics at the back of Katie's true-life story about her time on the island, Twelve Girls, Thirteen Boys and Savages. They seemed a little too close to the song Summer Nights from the popular musical Grease, but was titled "Island Nights". When at her press conference after the book was published, Katie answered "Me and Jack wrote new lyrics to the song, because we wanted to write something. We both like singing and so this is kind of our tribute. It sounds a little more fairy-tale-ish than what really happened on the island."
At the next televised interview, they linked up Jack and the two kids he and Katie had had since adulthood.
"We would like you to sing your famous romanticized version of Summer Nights." the interviewer explained. The music began playing, and a live Katie and Skyped Jack sang the following lyrics. They had taught daughters Abby and Lisa the lyrics, and the whole family pitched in with these lyrics:
Jack: Island lovin' woke me up fast
Katie: Island lovin's like a net cast
Jack: I met this girl, she wanted me
Katie: I met this boy, he kidnapped me
Both: Island days, drifting away
Into uh-oh the island nights
Abby: Tell me more, tell me more, just how hot is this girl?
Lisa: Tell me more, tell me more, like how does his hair curl?
Jack: She walked by me, pleading her fear
Katie: He stayed by me, till I felt clear
Jack: Turned-on girl, began my fame
Katie: Show-off boy, he sang my name
Both: Island sun, now it's begun
With uh-oh those island nights
Abby: Tell me more, tell me more, what'd he say at first sight?
Lisa: Tell me more, tell me more, did she put up a fight?
Jack: Had a fun time, at Castle Rock
Katie: We spent some time, not by the clock
Jack: We made out, hot in the grass
Katie: We lay there, as the night passed
Both: Island fling, that's what we sing
But uh-oh those island nights
Lisa: Tell me more, tell me more, did you have any fun?
Abby: Tell me more, tell me more, did he have anyone?
Katie: He's romantic, sang lullabys
Jack: Well she's romantic, she even cries
Katie: He was sweet, just seventeen
Jack: She tasted sweet, you know what I mean
Both: Island heat, boy and girl meet
But uh-oh those island nights
Lisa: Tell me more, tell me more, how much time did he spend?
Abby: Tell me more, tell me more, can she find me a friend?
Katie: We got rescued, so there it ends
Jack: So I asked her, as a boyfriend
Katie: That we'd make a true love vow
Jack: Wonder what she's doing now
Both: Island dreams, not what they seem
But oh, those island nights
Abby and Lisa: Tell me more, tell me more
People clapped as the family finished their song. Personally, Katie didn't know how she got away with having the girls singing boy-type lyrics. She didn't ever want her daughters, who were eight and five, to read the book, or not until they were at least fifteen, as she was. But anyway, the song was a success. It helped that much more to get interest in Katie's true life book.
And to get Abby Heather Merridew to read the book when she was bored.
OK, so that's the beginning of my story. If you review and like it, I'll continue. If not, I'll leave this on here and not continue it. So review! Katie and Jack want you to. And you don't want to hurt them, do you?
