Chapter 4: Teaching Christmas Songs
Author's Note: Hey everybody! Sorry I haven't updated in forever! I've been enjoying a 10 day vacation in the Florida Keys and have been no where close to a computer. But hey, I'm back now, have a bit of a tan (there were NO BEACHES where I was, so I tanned on the boat), have some Jimmy Buffett merchandise (yes, I'm 15 and a Parrot Head!!!) and am ready to get down to business!!! Since I've been gone for 10 days, it's kinda hard to get back into it, so I dunno how good this chapter's gonna be, so bear with me if it doesn't seem that good! Now then, on with the story!!!

Jack's and Rae's jaws dropped in shock.
"Yer what?" they asked at the same time.
"Jewish. Do I need t' spell it out fer ye?" Kaei replied. Jack and Rae shook their heads. "Why is this such a shock t' ye? I thought ye knew!"
"I didn't know." Rae said when she was able to speak again. Now it was Kaei's turn to be surprised.
"How could ye not? I thought it was obvious!" Kaei replied. Jack and Rae shook their heads again and the three pirates laughed.
"Well, that certainly does put a slight damper on things, don't it." Jack said smiling.
"Yea, but it's cool if ye 'ave the party anyway. I just prolly wont come. It'll be to weird." Kaei replied.
"Oh c'mon! Ye can come! It'll be fun!!" Rae insisted. "Sure, the songs might seem a bit odd, but if ye want, I can teach ye some of 'em." Kaei thought on the idea for a few moments and finally agreed. Rae smiled and, getting up from the table, dragged Kaei to her room so she could start teachin' her best friend some of the songs.
"Now, these songs is actually British, but we pirates 'ave made 'em our own." Rae explained. "The firs' one I'm gonna teach ye is called The 12 Days of Christmas…" Kaei nodded as Rae continued. "An' the pirate version goes somethin' like this." Rae cleared her throat and began singing.

Author's Note: Ok, I know that chapter was extremely short, but like I said in the beginning, I've been gone fer 10 days so I'm a bit rusty. The story will get better again, I promise!!! Please R&R! Also, I think I got all of the words in the original "12 Days of Christmas" but if you happen to find that I messed something up, please let me know! I haven't sung the song in a while so I kinda forgot it. Please R&R!!! Thanx! -Depp's Girl
