Hey Guys! I'm back again. For some reason I really wanted to do a fic with Percy singing. I found this song and it totally reminded me of our little Seaweed Brain! :D The song, by the way is "Go the Distance" from Hercules. I highly suggest looking up on Youtube: "Go The Distance - Percy" and listening to the video while reading! It's up to you though! Anyways, cue the disclaimer!

Percy: Um, you have to do it.

Oh. I thought I could force you to do it! :(

Percy: Nope! Bye! *walks away*

Ugh, fine. I do not own Percy Jackson or anything Uncle Rick has created.

The past couple of days have been pretty calm on the Argo II. Calm for us demigod teenagers at least. Annabeth and I had escaped Tartarus about a week ago, and while nightmares plague us every night, we are recovering. Slowly, but it's been good to have our friends around to take our minds of the horrors of that place.

At night, however, it's just me and Annabeth to face the demons. As I lied in bed, I had already accepted this would be another sleepless night. Annabeth was next to me, hugging me fiercely, like if she let go, I would disappear. In Tartarus, she got cursed by some Arai and thought I abandoned her, so I could understand why. I wondered why gods thrust their children into such dangers at such a young age. I mean, I fell off the Saint Louis Arch when I was 12 because of an insane lady and her Chihuahua! (Obviously, I'm aware the Chihuahua wasn't actually a Chihuahua, but you know what I mean.)

Said Chihuahua was sent by Zeus by the way, all because of a crime I didn't commit. I ventured into the Sea of Monsters to save my best friend from a Cyclopes and to retrieve a golden fleece from man-eating sheep. Not to mention holding up the sky, killing Kronos, and traveling through literal hell!

I wanted to be free from it all, the monsters, wars…the death. So many demigods died to protect Olympus, and the world, only to be cast aside and forgotten by the gods. Beckendorf, Silena, even Luke. I slowly reached towards the floor where I found a pillow with one of my shirts on it. I only used it when I was especially restless. As much as I didn't want to leave Annabeth, my ADHD was kicking in. I carefully slithered out of her grasp and replaced it with the pillow. She immediately adjusted and hugged the pillow, smiling to herself.

I snuck towards the stairs leading to the deck, as soon as I made it up, a fresh ocean breeze washed over me. It was nice, familiar. In Tartarus, time felt stretched it felt like we were in there for much longer than we were. Obviously you're not getting any ocean breezes in Tartarus. You can get a breeze of death and despair, which isn't exactly popular in my book.

I strode over to the railing staring down at the calm waves, gently pushing on the side of the Argo II. I remembered when back when I was little, my mom used to sing to me when I was sad. She had the most beautiful voice. Every time Gabe yelled at me or even hit me, she would quietly sing to me, it always made me feel better.

I never really tried singing before. I just assumed it would be bad. Sadly, I don't have my mom around right now. I actually haven't seen her for a long time. I hope she's okay and she's not fretting about me. I let out a sigh, still staring at the waves.

I quietly started singing to myself

I have often dreamed, of a far-off place

Where a hero's welcome, would be waiting for me

Where the crowds will cheer, when they see my face
And a voice keeps sayin', "This is where I'm meant to be."

I grew more confident and continued stronger.

I'll be there someday, I can go the distance
I will find my way, if I can be strong
I know every mile, will be worth my while
When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong

Down an unknown road, to embrace my fate
Though the road may wander, it will lead me to you
And a thousand years, would be worth the wait
It may take a lifetime, but somehow I'll see it through

And I won't look back, I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track, no I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope, but I won't lose hope
Till I go the distance, and my journey is complete

But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart

Like a shooting star, I will go the distance
I will search the world, I will face its harms
I don't care how far, I can go the distance
Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms

I will search the world, I will face its harms
Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms

"Wow, Seaweed Brain, I didn't know you could sing like that." A voice behind me said.

I jumped and turned around to see Annabeth smiling at me. "Oh…Yeah…I didn't really know either. I just remembered how my mom used to sing to me when I was little." I replied rubbing the back of my head subconsciously, "So, what brings you up here?" I asked.

"Well I woke up to find myself hugging a pillow and I assumed you were getting some air. So I came up here to provide some company." Annabeth replied. I smiled at her, "That would definitely be appreciated. I just can't seem to fall asleep lately. I guess I'm afraid to fall asleep. I know when I do, the nightmares will come back."

"It's okay to be scared sometimes, but just remember, you don't have to face your fears alone." She said, walking closer to give me a hug. "I know, Wise Girl, I know."

We both sat there enjoying each other's company. I slowly started to nod off. When I finally fell asleep, I didn't get any nightmares.

Aaanndd Done! Hope you enjoyed that little oneshot. Also, to anyone who was reading my first story "Betrayal" I sincerely apologize, I just can't continue to write it. It feels wrong to me, I can't split up Percabeth! D: Anyways, I know I put it on a really long hold, but as of now, it is discontinued. Sorry guys! I might start writing something else in the future, but yeah, thanks for reading!
