Honestly, this was something I did Saturday night, this exact piece. Not the story, the... oh you'll see.

Dick-13(?) Jason-9 Cass-7 Tim-5

Caroling

Dick was bored. That was his only defense.

"Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say, on a bright Hawaiian Christmas day. That's the island greeting that we send to you, from the land where palm trees sway. Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright; the sun to shine by day and all the stars at night. Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way, to say Merry Christmas, to you."

Cass looked over her book and raised an eyebrow as the teenager waltzed past her. Or rather danced, very badly. Was that even dancing? Why was he singing? She decided to just let it be, since he wasn't going to stay nearby anyway, and went back to her reading assignment.

Tim was the next one to hear him. "Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say, on a bright Hawaiian Christmas day. That's the island greeting that we send to you, from the land where palm trees sway. Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright; the sun to shine by day and all the stars at night. Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way, to say Merry Christmas, to you."

Instantly the kid was getting excited. Wasn't there a law somewhere saying Christmas songs couldn't be sung until it was near? And Dick was really good about following rules and laws and stuff. So Christmas was coming! Within seconds the kid was off running to find decorations so he could bring the holiday closer. His brother didn't even see him when he took off.

"Alfred! When are we getting the tree?"

When Jason heard it, he actually did something. "Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say, on a bright Hawaiian Christmas day. That's the island greeting that we send to you, from the land where palm trees sway. Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright; the sun-"

"Dude, what are you doing?"

"Singing." And he kept going. "-to shine by day and all the stars at night. Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way, to say Merry Christmas, to you."

Confused, he tried again. "Why?"

"Just because." Dick grinned impishly at him.

"It's July."

"So?" The preteen continued to dance as if he was still hearing the song. Looked like he was going to sing again too.

The nine year old just gave him one of his many you're-a-dork looks. "What are you doing singing some lame Christmas carol in July?"

"Being really bored." That was painfully obvious. "Besides, Mele Kalikimaka is fun to say. Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say, on a bright Hawaiian Christmas day. That's the island greeting that we send to you, from the land where palm trees sway. Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright; the sun to shine by day and all the stars at night. Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way, to say Merry Christmas, a very Merry Christmas, a very, very, Merry Christmas, to you."

"Riiiiggghhhtttt…." He kept up his stare as the teen finished up the song, a little dancing included. What a dork.

"Come on! Join me!" The young acrobat grinned. "We can bug Bruce with it together!"

For a good minute Jason just stared at his older brother, then gave a shrug. Five minutes later they were both singing at the top of their lungs in the batcave. "Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say…"

A/N: honestly, I have no idea why i started singing Mele kalikimaka, other than the fact that it's so much fun to say. Had to look up the lyrics but it was so worth it. When I was little, my sister told me i couldn't play any Christmas songs until after thanksgiving. Black Friday was the day to start decorating and singing carols. She wouldn't even let me practice playing carols until then either (piano). so I really relate to Tim here as a kid. I bet we've all looked at our siblings as if they're crazy, and either ignored them or joined in. And if it's to bug mom and dad... *evil grin*

Now I think I'll do something new. You want a new 'chapter', I want 20 about reviews for every story. If it's an arc, I'll finish the arc before demanding a certain number of reviews. but i'd like to keep it review wise 20:1 So... if you want another funny one faster, review! If you want the tragic/angsty/dramaville/based off of comics ones (which are coming) review! The more reviews, the faster they come. Spread the word. =P
