Anyway. This is pretty much some demigods singing about each other, some without even realizing that they are singing to someone.
Song of the Day: Glad You Came by The Wanted
Percy's POV
Knock, Knock, Knock.
I groaned. Why does this always happen to happen at camp. Especially to me! I have been woken up everyday this week for stupid things.
Just like Sunday! Silena wants to do this weird singing competition thing in the ampitheater and she told me I had to compete. I guess Apollo told her that things were getting boring in Olympus. Knowing her, she always does good things to help people.
Ha,Ha. I am so funny!
My feelings towards the competition idea, Horrible idea. I mean the only camper's that I am positive can sing are the Apollo campers. Of course they had to get that gene from Apollo himself.
Me? I don't sing. The only time I sang was in my house, going down the stairs. I was distracted by the singing trying to remember the words, I lost my footing and fell down the rest of the stairs.
Since then I always had this weird feeling whenever I would ever think about singing.
I remember Sunday night when Silena came to my cabin and told me I had to compete. Then she told me who else was competing.
I walked up to the door and opened it. There right outside of it was the very exciting looking daughter of Aphrodite herself, Silena.
The next thing that she did worried me a little bit. She walked up to me, slapped me, said, "Don't forget about the competition tonight, and then ran back to her cabin.
I held my face where she hit me and It really hurt. You could practically hear the echo of the sound all across camp.
Oh yeah. I never explained what happened. Now look with me as we stare blankly of into space and pretend to watch my flash back, shall we?
No not that way. This way. UGH. Turn your head this way and watch the flashback!
Flashback:
"Percy! Percy!Percy!Pecy!Percy! Guess what?"
"Yes Silena?" I said trying to act like I'm in a good mood. Which I wasn't after being woken up before 7:00 for the thrid day in a row.
"Apollo is having a singing contest and guess what? I am going to host! I am so excited! There are going to be ten performers. Annabeth, Charlie, Travis, Connor, Katie, Katie's sister Taylor, you, Thalia, Nico, and me!" she squealed.
"Thats gre... WAIT! Did you just say I was competing? I will not compete Silena!" I exclaimed.
She gave me the puppy dog face. "But you have to. Come on Percy! Please."
"No."
"Yes."
"No!"
"YES!" She all but screamed.
Our arguement kept going back and forth just like this, attracting the attention of a few early risers walking around.
It took her a few minutes of begging but she finally broke me. "Fine. When is it?"
"In three days. At the ampitheater after dinner. Don't be late." Then she ran away without letting me reply.
I slammed the door shut and layed down on my bed.
I was staring at the ceiling for what seemed like forever and decided I couldn't sleep. I got up and got ready to go to the arena and blow off some steam.
Now that you know what happened, back to the present time
I have to pick out my songs that I am going to be singing. so much Apollo (Sarcasm).
I could hear the thunder rumble in the distance. "Sorry Apollo!"
Now what am I going to do?
Oh well, I guess I'll just wing it. Like always. I am such a seaweed brain as Annabeth would call me.
I layed down on my bed and stared at the bottom of the bed on top of mine.
I guess I fell asleep because I was woken to the sound of the dinner bell. With that thought my stomach rumbled. I laughed and I literally ran to the dining pavilion. Not eating all day makes you really hungry.
Especially when you think about it, I am not excited for the contest after dinner. But with that happy thought I scarf down my dinner and try to come up with a plan of what to do for the competition.
"Hey Percy. Ready to go?" a voice asked also while grabbing my arm. Of course it was Silena.
Before I could react, I was being pulled into ampitheather and everyone was already there.
"Hey", they all said in unison and then laughed.
"Hey".
At that moment Silena walked on stage and picked up a mic.
"Good evening everyone. Welcome to the first ever, Camp Half-Blood Sing Off!" Cue cheers from audience here."The rules for this competition are very simple. The first round, the teams will be boys vs. girls. From the first round, Two competitors will be voted off by the judges. The Apollo cabin will be the judges since they have music in their blood. Literaly.
"For the first, third, fourth, and fifth rounds you will be able to pick your own songs. But for the second Your songs will be chosen by the wonderful audience! Each round after the finale, everyone will be independant and each round, two people will get voted off. Your powers may be used if you have them. If you don't have powers to use, you will not be counted off points if you don't. Well those are the rules.
Now, I bet you all are wondering what the prize is. You all might want to sit down for this. These nine campers on stand along with myself, will be competing for a chance to leave camp for a three weeks and travel anywhere in the world. Along with the person of your choice!"
Okay so maybe that was a little much because next thing you know, the audience and the contestants are jumping up and down, screaming, obviously very excited for this.
"Alrighty," Silena started, turning to the contestants on the side of the stage, "Why don't you get into your groups and come up with a song. And do it quick, we are starting in ten minutes."
This'll be fun...
