Hello, people! I am doing a singing competition sort of story! Yes I know I haven't finished my other one, but it will be finished, you just wait. Now, I hope the songs I've chosen are ok. I still need a song for Piper so suggestions are welcome. Um, what else, oh yes, this is a Leyna fic, so they will be our narrators. POV's will change every three songs so, enjoy!
Disclaimer: I am not an old man, and I am not a rich singer; all rights go to their respected people.
Reyna P.O.V
Reyna was sitting with Chiron and Mr. D at the big table in Camp half-Blood. The Romans were visiting for a while, celebrating with their cousins after the war. As she ate, Reyna found her gaze always wandering back to the same curly haired figure at the Vul-Hephaestus table.
Leo Valdez. He had bombed her camp and nearly started WW3, but yet Reyna found herself fascinated by his crazy antics. After a few days, Reyna had found herself staying in his bunker, simply watching him work.
I'll admit, she said to herself, he is admirable. Aways acting cheerful. Reyna had learned about the repair boy's past while in his bunker. Slowly, but surely, Reyna was sharing her past with him too. Now, one could say that the two were tha best of friends.
Yet, Reyna founder herself wishing they were more, only to stop herself. She wasn't going to fall in love again only to have her heart broken. But, Leo would't break my heart, she found a part of her reasoning. In the end, Reyna found herself in a turmoil of mixed feelings. Little did she know that it was about to get worse.
As Reyna studied Leo, a golden flash, well, flashed in front of her table. Two figures appeared before her. A beautiful woman whose appearance kept changing, and a blond man with blue eyes that were simply gorgeous-Lady Aphrodite and Lord Apollo.
Chiron rose from his wheelchair, "Welcome, Lord and Lady. What can we thank for your appearance?"
Apollo grinned wickedly, "We are here to hold a competition," he began, addressing us all, "Would the following Demigods please come forward?"
Aphrodite pulled a list from her purse, and put on a pink pair of glasses, "Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, Piper McLean, Leo Valdez, Jason Grace, Frank Zhang, and Hazel," (A/N I don't know her last name) they all stood in the front of the pavilion.
"As well as," Apollo continued, "Nico di Angelo and Reyna." Reyna stood up shocked. She had believed it would only be the Seven, but she was wrong. They all stood in a line, nervous, wondering what they would have to do.
"You nine will be preforming the songs we assign you, that come from some part of your past or future," Aphrodite said, "and there is no changing songs or complaining."
"Ten competition will begin tomorrow at the campfire. You have until then to memorize your song," Apollo stated, then he grinned in such a way that made you wonder if you had a note tapped to your back, "and the votes will be cast by each of the Olympians as well as Hestia and Hades. So good luck."
"Here are your songs," Aphrodite said as she handed us a piece of paper with lyrics on it. Reyna looked her's over and groaned. It just had to be from that part of her life, hadn't it.
*line brake of cookies*
Reyna paced, it was the day of the contest. She had read and reread her lyrics to the point until she had memorized them, yet she was still nervous. Finally, it was time. The camps sat around the fire where a mike had been set up. The competitors sat in the front, pale, while the Olympians sat with their kids. Reyna was a wreck. Everyone was hear, even the Hunters! If she messed up, she'd be a laughing stock. Calm, a voice said, be calm. It'll be fine.
Apollo walked up to the mike, "Welcome everyone! I hope you are all comfortable, because they excitement begin with Percy Jackson!" The crowd cheered as Percy walked up to the stage.
"Hi, guys," Percy began, "I guess I'll be beginning the night with This is War by 30 Seconds to Mars." The crowd cheered as the music began:
A warning to the people,
The good and the evil,
This is war.
To the soldier, the civilian,
The martyr, the victim,
This is war.
It's the moment of truth, and the moment to lie,
The moment to live and the moment to die,
The moment to fight, the moment to fight
To fight, to fight, to fight!
To the right, To the left
We will fight to the death!
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
From the last to the first
To the right, To the left
We will fight to the death!
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world!
A warning to the prophet,
The liar, the honest,
This is war.
To the leader, the pariah,
The victor, the messiah,
This is war.
It's the moment of truth, and the moment to lie,
The moment to live and the moment to die,
The moment to fight, the moment to fight,
To fight, to fight, to fight!
To the right, To the left
We will fight to the death!
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
From the last to the first
To the right, To the left
We will fight to the death!
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world!
I do believe in the light
Raise your hands into the sky
The fight is done, the war is won
Lift your hands toward the sun
Toward the sun
Toward the sun
Toward the sun
The war is won
To the right, To the left
We will fight to the death!
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
From the last to the first
To the right, To the left
We will fight to the death!
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world!
A brave new world
The war is won
The war is won
A brave new world
Percy got a standing ovation. His voice was wonderful, and he sang with such passion, it was hard to believe that the song wasn't written by him. Apollo trotted up to Percy and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's hear it again for Percy Jackson!" Everyone cheered again.
As Percy sat down next to Annabeth, Aphrodite came up and introduced the next singer, "Alright, let's give it up for Jason Grace!"
Jason walked up to the mike and began, "Hey guys, I'm going to be singing Lightning by Alex Goot" and he began:
She's staring me down with those electric eyes,
No matter how hard I try,
I can't escape that gaze tonight,
That girl's up in the atmosphere,
That girl's up in the atmosphere,
Oh,
I'm hypnotized by the way she moves,
Baby girl please help me soothe,
Imma take you to the sun and the moon,
That girl's up in the atmosphere,
Oh,
That girl's up in the atmosphere,
Yeah,
And I've been catching myself thinking of it,
It was three in the morning,
Every day I chase after her,
But I can't catch lightning,
Catching myself thinking of it,
It was three in the morning,
Every day I chase after her,
But I can't catch lightning,
No, I can't catch lightning,
She'll make you believe anything she wants,
Make you think that you're the one,
She will keep you there,
That girl's up in the atmosphere,
She's way up in the atmosphere,
And I've been catching myself thinking of it,
It was three in the morning,
Every day I chase after her,
But I can't catch lightning,
Catching myself thinking of it,
It was three in the morning,
Every day I chase after her,
But I can't catch lightning,
No, I can't catch lightning
Oh I can't catch lightning,
Yeah,
I can't catch lightning,
She's staring me down with those electric eyes,
No matter how hard I try,
I can't escape that gaze tonight,
That girl's up in the atmosphere,
That girl's up in the atmosphere,
That girls up in the atmosphere,
Oh,
She's way up in the atmosphere,
And I've been waiting, waiting, waiting for you,
Anticipating,
Chasing after things that you do,
But I can't catch lightning,
Waiting, waiting, waiting for you
Anticipating,
Chasing after things that you do,
But I can't catch lightning,
No, I can't catch lightning,
Oh yeah,
No I can't catch lightning,
Oh I can't catch lightning,
Oh no,
I can't catch lightning
We all cheered for Jason as he sat down. "Next we have Annabeth Chase!" Apollo announced.
Annabeth sat on a stool put there for her and said, "I shall be singing Somewhere Only We Know by Max Schneider." The crowd roared as she sang:
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?
Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?
Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go?
So why don't we go?
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?
We stood and clapped and cheered as Annabeth sat next to Percy. One camper shouted, "Camp Half-Blood Rules!" and we all laughed.
Apollo came up and announced there would be a small break before the next singer. Reyna sighed as she excited. This would be a long night, she reasoned.
