01.05.12 This is an edited chapter. This whole story will be getting edited. Thanks for reading.

Today was Friday night, Karaoke Night. You see, the Aphrodite girls said that we should do something fun every Friday night and that it should be different every week. Well of course, Chiron said yes. (They probably used charm speak on him! Damn those girls!) Now, before I found out exactly what we were going to do, I didn't really care that he had said yes, I even thought that it was a pretty good idea. It wasn't like I was going to sing Barbie Girl or anything. But, of course, nothing ever went as I planned. (When does it ever?)

Then, I found out what we were going to do. Then I found out what I was supposed to do. Yup, guess what I had to do? You don't know? Okay, you'll find out later then.

Afterwards, Chiron trotted up to a group of campers, which I had unfortunately been a part of. He had given each of us a small calendar, which held a couple of months. All the Fridays had been marked on each week. The calendar told what the events were going to be.

There were quite a few good ones, actually, but there were even more horrible ones. There was Karaoke Night (Oh the horror!), Makeup Night (The girls, Annabeth and Thalia, started laughing their hearts out when they heard that the boys had to put on makeup too.), and Skate Night (That one I was actually happy about.), and so many, many, many more other ridiculous, horrifying, stupid ones.

The good things were:
1. I made a bet with Annabeth.
2. I just got a blue chocolate chip cookie from my mom.
3. I whooped Nico's butt at basketball.
4. There's going to be Skate Night in a few weeks.

The bad things were:
1. I'm probably going to lose my bet with Annabeth.
2. I just finished eating my blue chocolate chip cookie.
3. Nico beat me up after I whooped his butt at basketball.
4. A 'few' weeks means about two months from now.

Ah, you gotta love life.

So, you're probably wondering about that bet I made with Annabeth, right? Okay, so here's how it happened.

*Flashback start*

"Attention everyone! Tonight, as you probably already know, is Karaoke Night! Everyone who wants to sing can sing. You can sing any song you like, as long as it's not inappropriate." When Chiron said the last couple words, he snuck a not-so-secretive-look, that was probably supposed to be secretive, towards Hailey. He knew how horrible she was. I knew how horrible she was. Heck, she had a huge crush on me, for crying out loud!

After Chiron had made this announcement, the mess hall erupted into cheers. The Aphrodite cabin was the loudest of them all. The Artemis cabin was the most silent… because, you know, there aren't any people there? No? Okay, fine. That was my failed attempt at being a comedian for you.

"Percy! Hey Percy!" I heard someone calling me. I did a quick 360 around me and saw nobody. "Oi! Seaweed Brain! Over here!"

I looked over and saw Annabeth, one of my best friends ever, running after me. When in Hades underpants did she appear?

"Oh, hey Annabeth! What's up?" I asked her when she came closer. Her hair was in her usual ponytail and she was wearing an orange Camp Half-blood T-shirt.

"Okay, so you know how tonight is Karaoke Night?" She asked.

"Yeah? What about it?"

"Well, I'm going to sing in it!" She yelled. Now this shocked me. Annabeth, daughter of Athena, singing because of some stupid Aphrodite kids? Wow, that's definitely a first.

"You? Annabeth, daughter of Athena, singing because of some Aphroditekids?" I asked, voicing my thoughts. I purposely left out the 'stupid' because I know it would offend Silena and Piper because they are totally notstupid. Although, some of the other Aphrodite kids are…

"Yes, me! I'm going to sing tonight and beat Hailey!" She screamed. She absolutely hated Hailey. Wait, no, take that back, Annabeth despises Hailey.

"Really? You sure about that?" I asked her. I was forming a plan in my head. It included Annabeth, me, a bet, and me winning.

"Totally!"

"So… how about we make a bet, if you're just sooooo sure." I said, stretching out the 'so' just to make Annabeth ticked at me.

"Oh, you're on. Wait, what are we betting for?"

"Um… I don't know." Whoops, that wasn't a very well thought out plan.

"Seaweed Brain." Annabeth mumbled under her breath. Then she turned to me again. "Alright, let's make a bet! If I beat Hailey, you pay me 50 drachmas. If I don't, I pay you 50 drachmas."

"Deal." I said, shaking her head.

*Flashback End*

Now, don't get me wrong. I know Annabeth can sing. I've heard her sing myself. I just wanted to make a bet because I'm the super awesome Seaweed Brain!

Looking at the clock, I noticed that it was 6:57 PM. Karaoke Night started at seven o'clock sharp. I got up from my unmade bed and left my cabin.
