( Made this 10/1/2024 [] In honor of Keith Richards 81st birthday, which is December 18th )

It was the morning of December 18th, which just so happened to be the Keeper of the Codes birthday. Captain Edward Teague got up from his bed, and had gotten dressed into his usual pirate attire. He was always a stay-at-home pirate in Shipwreck Cove, and usually played his guitar. Since it was his birthday, he really wasn't expecting much... but he was secretly hoping that his son, Captain Jack (Jackie, his nickname) Sparrow, would visit him. But he knew that wouldn't happen, considering that Jack never visited... or would it?

Teague had sat down in his rocking chair and started to play his guitar. His Irish Terrier (dog) Bessie (according to the books) had walked over and laid beside him. Teague had trained Bessie to keep the keys to the Pirata Codex (Pirate Code) in her mouth, which she has many times, and usually has them when out in public. While he was strumming on his guitar, he had gotten a knock on his door. He wasn't expecting anyone.
