12 Days of Looting

Emma sighed. It was December 23rd, and she had been trying to sort out some last minute present wrapping when the call came in from her father that there was a disturbance down at the Rabbit Hole, and could she go and check it out as he was busy with baby Neal?

She agreed, which was how she found herself in the bar, staring at an altogether bewildering sight. Ruby, Victor, Archie, Will, Tink, and a few people that Emma recognised but couldn't name, were standing on the bar and various tables, drunkenly singing something Emma thought sounded like the twelve days of Christmas, severely out of tune.

Emma couldn't stop the smirk that made its way onto her face when she saw the group's ringleader, who was none other than Storybrooke's resident pirate, and more importantly, her boyfriend of a few months, Killian Jones.

He looked so ridiculously happy belting out his version of the classic Christmas song, with actions, that Emma let out a little giggle, before reaching for her phone to record the action.

Emma particularly liked how someone (she suspected Killian) had "improved" the lyrics, although it seemed that the group had been singing the song continuously in the bar for so long that everyone sat there knew the new ones

"On the twelfth day of Christmas my Captain gave to meeeeeeee…twelve fairies flying, eleven cannons firing , ten pirates, nine captives dancing, eight wenches flirting, seven mermaids swimming, six parrots squawking, FIVE GOOOLD RINGS! Four casks of rum, three bronze coins, two cutlasses and a JOLLY ROGER TO SAIIIIL!"

By the time they reached the end, they were so out of tune Emma was doubled over in laughter, trying desperately to keep her camera focused on Killian. Leroy looked over at her in disgust.

"Why aren't you trying to shut them up?" he asked grouchily.

Emma smiled innocently and winked.

"Oh don't worry, I'm going to take them all down to the station to cool off soon, I'm just making sure I've got a nice loud version of their morning alarm."

The pair of them smirked.

End note: Just a random idea that came to me. I hope it raised a smile. I'm hoping to have 25 chapters by Christmas Day, so please throw your CS seasonal prompts and ideas my way! See you soon! CJ x
