It was just a simple day; campers at the dinner pavilion sitting at their assigned table chatting and laughing. But one table stood out from the rest. There sat a lone figure sitting ,.there staring in space, being ignored from the rest. Getting disgusted looks. Right after he saved camp half blood and the gods from Gaea. Then a bright light flashed. A personal stood there glowing in all its glory. Then a centaur, Chiron bowed respectfully like he deserved to be a god, which he was.

"What may we have the pleasure to meet you here lord Apollo," said the wise centaur. The man, Apollo smiled.

" I, Phoebus Apollo announce that there is going to be a singing contest at dusk," after that the sun god flashed out, leaving behind a group of shocked demigods, especially the lone figure sitting at the table. The figure was Nico, a son of Hades.

At dusk the campers walked near the area where they were told to. They were greeted with the Olympian and Hades and Hestia.

After a few campers signed a voice announced,

"And now Nico di Angelo!"

A boy stepped on to the stage looking straight at Hades and said,

"Dad, this is for you,"

Then then begin sing:

Hey dad look at me

Think back and talk to me

Did I grow up according to plan?

And do you think I'm wasting my time doing things I wanna do?

But it hurts when you disapprove all along

And now I try hard to make it

I just wanna make you proud

Many of the campers were either Shocked on how beautiful his voice was or being flood of guilt.

I'm never gonna be good enough for you

Can't pretend that

I'm alright

And you can't change me

'Cause we lost it all

Nothing last forever

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect

Now it's just too late and

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect

I try not to think

About the pain I feel inside

Did you know you used to be my hero?

Hades featured softened, But his face was back to steel, but deep down his stone heart was starting to crack, little by little.

All days you spent with me

Now seem so far away

He knew what he meant. Seventy years ago.

It feels like you don't care anymore

And now I try hard to make it

I just wanna make you proud

Percy was frustrated, how could his dad not be a little proud, went through Tartarus with out the mist, carried Atena Partheneos across the world. But Hades wasn't proud yet.

I'm never gonna be good enough for you

I can't stand another fight

And nothing's alright

'Cause we lost it all

Nothing last forever

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect

Now it's just too late and

We can't go back and

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect

Nothing's gonna change the things you said

Nothing's gonna make this right again(right again)

Please don't turn your back

I can't believe it's hard

To just talk to you

But you don't understand(you don't understand)

He wanted this wanted to tell his Father how he truly felt. He wasn't Nico Di Angelo, King of the ghosts. He was Nico Di Angelo a normal demigod.

'Cause we lost it all

Nothing last forever

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect

Now it's too late and

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect

'Cause we lost it all

Nothing last forever

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect

Now it's too late and

I'm sorry

I can't be perfect

After the last note people stood there silently. No hands clapped. The next thing was shocking. Hades stood up from his throne and walking dead over to him. He stood there and his lips curled into a smile. A genuine smile and hugged him tight. Nico smiled and embraced him back. He then disappeared. Then a mop of dark hair that was not his appeared he said,

"Nico, I-i'm sorry,"

he clearly was trying to hold back his tears.

"Perce, it's okay, I forgive you," Nico said softly after the hug.

"It's okay to cry,"

Percy then snapped. Tears welled up and dripped down his hugged Nico tightly and sobbed.

"It's okay Percy, it's okay,

"How about we go eat ice cream?" Said Percy when he was done crying.

"Sounds like a plan," Nico laughed as he looked at the moon. Everything turned out to be perfect.


Angelo: Bye bye, see you tomorrow!
