-Kara pov-
"It has been a long two months" Everyone nods and I smile at them all "I am so proud of you all and what you have done! I picked well on my subs!"
"Helps when we have a good mistress" Sara smiles and leans onto Ava's shoulder "So what is up today?"
"We are having KARAoke night!" Everyone groans and I pout "Why is that the reaction?"
"First there was a pun and secondly we do not like singing like you do" I look to see everyone nodding "I mean come on! You have sang so much in the past few months! Just give music a break Kara!"
"Alright" I hide my disappointment and go to find the board games "I will be back with games"
-Alex pov-
"Guys come on" They look at me confused "She used music to grow attached to the earth culture"
"God she would spin we didn't start the fire so much" Mom smiles happily "I remember when she first found it"
-15 years ago-Eliza pov-
"Hey there are more records!" I look and smile as Kara speeds through them "What is this one? It talks about not starting a fire...is that good?"
"It has all the history you will ever need to know" I walk over and put the record on "Listen to it and you may just learn something!"
Kara nods and grabs a paper that fell. I shrug and walk to the kitchen. I am cooking as the music comes on finally. I stop when I heard who is singing.

"I have learned so much!" I hear the record getting started again "I need to hear it again! Just in case!"
-Currently-Alex pov-
"Or what about the time she found John Lennons so this is Christmas" I shake my head with a chuckle "She kept asking what war it was about!"
-16 years ago-
"Alex!" Kara holds up the Record "Play it please! The teacher said we need to learn!"
"Alright!" I push Kara aside and play the record "Get your words loser!"
Kara pouts and dejectedly gets the lyrics. I feel a little bad but she just keeps bugging me. I said I would do it later. She just gets so impatient to do human things cause she is not human.
-Kara singing-
Happy Christmas, Kyoko
Happy Christmas, Julian
So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas (war is over)
For weak and for strong (if you want it)
For rich and the poor ones (war is over)
The road is so long (now)
And so happy Christmas (war is over)
For black and for white (if you want it)
For yellow and red ones (war is over)
Let's stop all the fight (now)
A very Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas (war is over)
And what have we done (if you want it)
Another year over (war is over)
And a new one just begun (now)
And so happy Christmas (war is over)
We hope you have fun (if you want it)
The near and the dear one (war is over)
The old and the young (now)
A very Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over, if you want it
War is over now
Happy Christmas!
"A...never mind" I raise a eyebrow and she shakes her head "It's nothing sorry"
"No I am sorry for hurting you" I raise her face to look me in the eyes and smile "Go on star"
"Did Santa and the elf's go to war?" I give her a confused look "They talk about a war! It is over but what was it for? Was it the elf's? Are they aliens too?"
-Currently-
"She thought it was about elf's and Santa?" I nod and Lena shakes her head as everyone laughs "We love a goofball"
"Music is how she learned everything here" I smile thinking back to more memories "It did bring us closer together over the years"
"I am back!" Kara holds up some board games "Who wants monopoly? I found scrabble but I think we are missing pieces and I know operation is missing the pieces cause Esme keeps taking them every time they get replaced by us"
"I think I have a better idea" Ava stands up with a smile and grabs the games "I think we all should suck it up and do some KARAoke"
"Really?" Ava nods and Kara looks ready to split in half with her smile "REALLY?!"
"Get it ready!" Kara nods and speeds away "Thank you girls"
"She does a lot for us" Maggie smiles and leans into Kelly "She brought us all together"
"Gave is second chances" Siobhan grabs Andreas hand "Gave us better lives"
"I think singing and doing something she loves is the least we can do" I smile and nod as Kara comes back "Now let's get drunk so we forget this happened!"
I nod and start heading for the drinks. Tonight will be fun but I do not want to remember being off key.
