It was a quiet day on the Red. The ship was rocked by the waves and Kathi was lying quietly in her hammock. It was Nicholas, of course only a term for her. She turned around in the hammock. She didn't feel like doing anything at the moment, like every year at Christmas. Christmas always made her metaphorical and she always had to think of the old days with her family and friends. Christmas was also celebrated here, although celebrating was a wrong expression, you knew it, you celebrated it somewhere but not on a pirate ship, it didn't have the same meaning as it did for her.
"Kathi, come on there is lunch." "No hunger."

Shanks thought about Kathi, she was acting for some reason, always so depressed this time of year. This year it was especially bad, last year it wasn't that bad and the two years before that she was a cabin maid.
"We have to change something about it. I mean, we can't let her get so depressed every year."

They anchored on an island, a beautiful autumn island. It was fine weather, fine autumn, but it only depressed Kathi even more. She hated the snow like the plague last winter in Germany, but that was simply because she had to ride a bike to school. She always said it was a cold winter, but please, please without snow. Now she even wanted the snow back now. The fact that she had met Ace on a winter island had, of course, greatly improved her opinion of snow. And there she was back at Ace and the desire to introduce him to her family. And she got a little more depressed.
It was now the 17th and she hadn't baked any cookies or eaten gingerbread.
Kathi heard a creak. Let's see who that was.
WHAT?
"I heard you were pretty depressed. Is that right?"
She could hear Ace grin as he put his arms around her.
Kathi was incredibly happy, but she thought of Christmas again, it was stupid.

Ace noticed that she wasn't reacting the way it should be. "What is it?" "Do you want to go for a walk?"

"So that's why you're so depressed? Christmas means something completely different to you than it does to us." "Yes, this is a family celebration with us. You spend it with the family and the people you love. Before that, you get in touch with your friends You bake cookies and stroll through the Christmas market, get presents, are stressed. But somehow everything belongs to it. Don't get me wrong. The Red is my home, the crew my Nakamas and you are my great love.But I still always remember the old days. " "I understand that. "Ace he pulled her closer.
“What would you give if you could spend another Christmas in Germany?” “A lot, but not without you.” Ace looked at her a little puzzled. “You are one of them.” She grinned at him and then they kissed.

"Wow." "Definitely." "And you grew up here?"
"Not in this city, we are here in Berlin. But we are in Germany."
Kathi still couldn't believe it. No, she couldn't. Ace had had a coin, which he says he had from a woman who would have said you can travel back and forth between the worlds with it. And so now the redhead crew plus Ace stood in front of Berlin.
“You are a genius!” Kathi kissed Ace again.
"People all listen to my command. Since none of you have euros, let alone a credit card or anything else that is vital here, I will have the gold exchanged for cash. You stay here. I will explain to you again afterwards what is here is important and that will take a while. "

“So this is a train station?” Ace was pretty excited about just about anything. He knew Water 7, but this was on a completely different scale. It was all so different and yet similar. Everyone here had these cell phones as a replacement for telescopic slugs and everyone was walking around with them on their ears. It was all pretty strange. And he was just dragged by Kathi to such a strange machine where she just tapped on it with her finger, put money in and then got her cards. “Our tickets.” She pulled him on.

Kathi grinned in record, she was so happy. She had explained so much to the crew and Ace that their heads were smoking. They had agreed that the crew would stay in Berlin and take them to their family with Ace.
After all, they should get to know their boyfriend. After all, there were only5days until Christmas.

Knock. Knock.
The door was opened.
"Mummy." Kathi ran into the arms of her completely taken aback mother.
“Kathi?” “Yes.” She was now being squeezed extremely tight and she heard her mother sobbing and crying.
"Come on everyone. Something wonderful happened."

"That doesn't exist. That really doesn't exist. Disappear 3 years ago and now turn up with a hot guy and say that you have landed in another world. Not to forget that you have lost what feels like 30 kilos." I could believe it when someone told me that he didn't know Europe, or that I had a chance to come here again. "" I believe you. "" I can tell you Anne, I have in the last Years of experience so much, I'm happy if I can spend a normal Christmas. "" What does normal mean here. It can't be normal with your family anyway. "" Anne is right. "Nikki just entered the room with the shopping bag ."I hope that's enough. Why do you want to bake so many cookies?" "Because I can't do it next year." "Why. I think it's totally stupid that you want to go again after New Year's Eve. Why don't you stay here "I'm so sorry, but I just can't. You see, I built a life there, I learned to fight, I just can't give it up, 1. I just don't fit in here anymore, 2. How am I supposed to do it, I can hardly go to high school anymore. "The answer was only a hum. "If I can, I'll just visit you more often in the future." "And we you." Kathi raised her eyebrow. "And then I have to take care of you." "No. Ace come on, we're baking now." Kathi smiled contentedly. Ace got on well with everyone.
Ace came and hugged Kathi from behind. "So we do. Cinnamon stars, nougat copper and mixed pastries." "Yep." "Okay. Let's get started."
It was mixed, stirred and discovered that Ace had no talent for baking. Christmas music was playing in the background, especially "In the Christmas Bakery", which was mostly sung loudly.
Kathi in particular ate dough, rolled it, cut it out or made it into artful pegs.
Afterwards everyone was pretty exhausted. But not that that is enough.
"Come on, you can't be serious."
“Oh yes.” Nikki cracked an egg over Kathi's head. "Well wait." Kathi grabbed the flour and Nikki was white from top to bottom. Then a fierce baking battle began, for a wholly irrelevant reason.

It was the 24th and there was a big celebration. Relatives / acquaintances could be persuaded to come here and not to be driven to them as planned.
Ace got to know everyone and he found out that if he had thought Kathi was bad talking / discussing, then she was much worse with her brothers and parents. Everyone was talking terribly loud, everyone stopped and you had to fight for every word. At least now he knew where she had gotten some habits from.
But he was very happy. Kathi was terribly happy, he was treated like part of the family, it was just perfect.
And he learned a lot about German traditions and this world.
It was half past one and no one had any plans to go to bed. Everyone had so much to talk about.
Kathi sat leaning against him, next to him.
"Pirates, well." "Yes, for the hundredth time, pirates."
"And you are really ..." "Yes, very sure. It's my Nakamas, because I can trust. Really. Don't worry about me. I can take care of myself pretty well."
He laughed next to her, yes she really could.

"So where are we going now?" "To Yui, in Berlin. There we celebrate New Year's Eve with the crew and you. I've discussed everything with her. She has the actual party." Kathi was on the train with Ace, Nikki and Anne and hoped for clear weather tomorrow evening, New Years Eve."They'll drink up some of Yui's stock of alcohol," Kathi said now. "I doubt that Yui will bother. Especially since she sees you again." "Mmm."

“Isn't New Year's in 20 days?” “Not with us. We always celebrate it on December 31st. Named after Pope Sylvester, who either died or was born on that day.”
"Died, and in 335 AD served as Bishop of Rome (Pope) from 314 until his death in 335.
New Year's Eve succeeded Miltiades as Pope on January 31st 314. His name was added to the church calendar in 813. After him, Marcus, who was later canonized, became Pope. "Yui stood next to Kathi with her iPhone.
“God bless Wikipedia.” “And goggle.” Yui put the “cell phone” back in his pocket.

Of course Kathi woke up with an absolute hangover. But she was absolutely happy. They had popped firecrackers, shot down rockets, played the New Years salutation game, and much more.
"It's been a great couple of days. Thanks Ace."
