Disclaimer: I do not own Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner or the lovely song "The 12 Days of Christmas".

Forewarning: I did write this story for a friend of mine as a present, so we are both in there. (Last names though have been changed to protect the innocent.) So, if you hate mary- sues, please turn back now and do not flame me. If you can over look that minor detail, I hope you enjoy this new take on the classic song.

Late at home on the night of December 12th, Paige sat on her couch watching her television when all of a sudden the windows flew open and a cold air rushed in. Paige leapt up from her seat and ran over to the window to shut them. When she finally got them closed, she thought she saw a shadowy figure through the glass and closed her eyes then opened them again and it was gone. "That's strange," she thought to herself as she turned to go to back to her couch when something caught her eye. She looked down on the floor and found an envelope with gold trimming and written in gold read "The 12 Days of Christmas". "I wonder where this came from," Paige pondered as she sat down and read the letter. "Oh my gosh…" she gasped and picked up the phone and called Jen.

"Hello?" answered Jen, half asleep.

"Jen? It's Paige. Sorry to wake you up, but I have something important to tell you," exclaimed Paige worried.

"Paige Morall, what is so important that you called me at three in the morning?" asked Jen just a bit upset.

"Some…. Some guy was at my house and then this letter flew into my house, and… Jennifer Derance just get over here!" screamed Paige frantically.

"Alright, alright, I'll be over there in a few minutes. Just let me put some clothes on and I'll be over there as soon as possible," said Jen and she hung up the phone.

Paige hung up her phone and kept looking at the letter. "This can't be happening. Of all people, why me?" she said pacing the floor until she heard a knock at the door and jumped then froze in place. "Who's there?" she stuttered incredibly scared.

"Paige, it's me," said Jen on the other side of the door. "Do you think you could let me in, it's freezing cold out here."

Paige ran over to the door and let Jen in then slammed it shut and locked up everything. "So, what's the emergency?" asked Jen taking off her coat.

"Here, read this," said Paige and she gave Jen the letter.

Jen opened the letter and read:
"The 12 Days of Christmas are coming.
Beware of the 12 Days of Christmas!
On the 13th you will receive your first gift, and every day after another will appear.
Beware of the 12 Days of Christmas!
Some good will come and some bad.
Beware of the 12 Days of Christmas!
Don't loose sight of the things you treasure most.
Beware of the 12 Days of Christmas!
Or you'll find solitude in the end.
Beware of the 12 Days of Christmas!
The 12 Days of Christmas are coming."

"It sounds like some kid was just trying to scare you, Paige. I think it is just some sort of a prank," said Jen.

"But, what if it's true, and what could it mean?" asked Paige shaking a bit.

Jen laughed a bit. "Well, I can tell you some of it is true. Jack arrives tomorrow with Will, and I read in Will's last letter that they had a surprise for us," explained Jen.

"But, what does that have to do with the 12 Days of Christmas?" Paige practically screamed, forgetting Jen was Jewish for a moment.

"Slow down, Paige. What is the 12 Days of Christmas?" Jen asked.

" 'The 12 Days of Christmas' is an old carol sung at Christmas time. It talks of how a lover sends all of these things for 12 days of Christmas to his love," explained Paige and she started to sing, "On the first Day of Christmas my true love gave to me a partridge in a pear tree. On the second Day of Christmas my true love gave to me two Turtle Doves and a Partridge in a Pear tree. On the third Day of Christmas my true love gave to me three French hens, two Turtle Doves and a Partridge in a Pear tree. On the fourth Day of Christmas my true love gave to me four calling birds, three French hens, two Turtle Doves and a Partridge in a Pear tree. On the fifth Day of Christmas my true love gave to me five golden rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two Turtle Doves and a Partridge in a Pear tree…"

"Alright, I think I get it now. Thanks for explaining, Paige," said Jen, starting to become a little annoyed with the song.

Paige paced back and forth saying, "I don't understand what that song has to do with anything."

"Maybe it doesn't have to do with anything, and Jack sent it ahead and he has a present for you every day before Christmas," explained Jen trying to calm Paige down.

"Maybe you're right. I'm probably just over reacting, and Jack did send that letter ahead. I'm sorry I called you over, Jen," Paige apologized.

"It's alright. If I was in your shoes I probably would had done the same thing," said Jen and she hugged Paige. "Well, now it's time for me to go back to sleep, and you should do that as well."

"Yeah, maybe some sleep will do me good. Well, I will see you in the morning, and then we can go and welcome our guys back," said Paige and she hugged Jen back.

"Good night."

"Good night, Paige," said Jen and she went home.

Paige then closed the door and locked it and went up to her bed to go to sleep.
