A/N Next chapter…. :)

DISCLAIMER! I DO not OWN PJO!

AGAIN I will be accepting characters and song ideas!

Lindy

I was woken up by the sun…literally. My father walked into our cabin casually. "Up and Adam!" He yelled to us.

"What does that expression even mean?" One of my little siblings demanded her face in her pillow.

"It means," Apollo said placing his hand on my sister. "That we should get up now and begin working on tomorrow's performance! I expect each and every one of you to sing tomorrow." We all didn't move we just stared at our father. "Did I mention that I got you all out of classes for today and tomorrow?"

That got me up. My father getting me out of lessons was good enough for me to help. Reluctantly my siblings followed my lead. I was glad I got the bathroom first. I looked terrible; I always do in the mornings. Looking like this in front of a god, especially my father was entirely embarrassing! I am not obsessing over my looks but it's not like that! Everyone is like this from time to time.

I went to the Amphitheater with my siblings and father. The Hephaestus kids and Annabeth were already getting started on the designs for the stage.

"…There should be lights here," Annabeth instructed. "And the stage will ark out here with the short runway. More lights here, and there." Then she saw us. She ran over to me and whispered. "I promise you this won't be as bad as it seems." She turned to Apollo. "Setting designs are coming along well."

"Great!" Apollo clapped his hands. "Riley, Lindy, could you be the DJ's, of course when you sing you'll be able to go on stage and leave the job to each other." I knew that Riley didn't want to sing, the same with me. This was just going along great, wasn't it?

So the day came and went, and Riley and I got all the CD's known to man on a small Mac computer. We were taught how to put the song on by a push of a button by Jordan from the Hermes cabin. Everything was going perfectly. I hated it. And just to add on to it all, free period happened the next day right before Karaoke.

"I bet none of you are going to sing." Percy said to all of us as we sat on the dock.

"Ha!" Annabeth huffed. "We all don't Seaweed brain! Everyone else in our cabin volunteered to go."

"Uh, Annabeth," Katie said. "You are one of the four in your cabin who are singing. Remember? No one else volunteered so you were automatically chosen."

"UGH!" Annabeth buried her head in her hands. "I don't even know what I'm singing yet."

"I think Connor and I are the only ones not singing from this group." I muttered. Travis looked up at me with a devious smile.

"Oh, no." Connor said to his twin. "Not that smile."

"Oh Styx!" I yelled. "Travis if you do anything to—,"

"Oh it won't be that bad."

"You know," Katie said. "I think it's only fair you two sing something. We all have to."

"And uh, Connor." Travis said trying not to laugh. "We didn't tell you but you're the fourth person from our cabin."

"Travis!" He yelled and tackled his brother into the water.

About ten minutes later, Percy dragged them both out of the water. They were dry instantly, all three of them.

"I will kill you!" Connor yelled. Travis just sat next to Katie laughing, as Percy placed Connor back down next to me. Percy sat down next to Annabeth again. We all stiffened a laugh. Connor glared at me.

"How about," Travis said. "You and Lindy do a duet? I got the perfect song that would be really cool."

"No." Connor and I said in unison.

"I think that's a good idea." A voice said behind us. I sighed heavily, but just soft enough for my father not to hear. My dad sat down next to me. "So Percy, what are you singing tonight?" He sounded like a normal teenager.

"Oh, I don't know yet." Percy stammered.

"Uh dad," I said. "Shouldn't you be making the…seating arrangements? Some of the other gods will probably not want to sit next to each other. Like Poseidon and Athena. They might break something."

"Exactly why they are seated next to each other." Percy's and Annabeth's eyes widened.

"WHAT?" They said together.

"Just joking," He laughed, but no one else did. "Maybe." He paused. "Well I'm off; I'll see you all tonight hopefully you are all singing."

MY father left. "What am I going to do?" I demanded. "My dad wants me to perform and I just will NOT go up there."

"Sing this with Connor," Travis said handing me a piece of paper. "And you'll be fine." Connor and I read the paper.

"Really Travis?" I asked.

"Yep." The conch horn blue for dinner.

"Just two more hours." Katie said to me. "Then another like six, and we are done. What are you singing with Connor?" She reached for the paper but I yanked it away.

"It's a surprise!" I snapped. "And I'm not excited about it."

Dinner went by quickly, sadly. Most of my cabin was anxious to get to Karaoke, but some weren't as enthusiastic.

The stage was even more amazing at night with the lights all lit up and the speakers set up to make large steps. A runway curved out from the center and turned into a whole half circle making a path to the other parts of the stage. The DJ stand was where Riley and I were and we stayed there until it started.

"So," My father announced as every god and demigod took their seats. Athena and Poseidon were placed right next to each other and Annabeth and Percy were not looking happy. "Who wants to go first?"

The most unexpected thing happened. A girl from the Nemesis cabin stood up. "I will." She said and confidently walked onto the stage.

"My name is Clara Carson and I will be singing, Born This Way by Lady GaGa." She announced. She turned to me and Riley. "Lindy, start the tape." I didn't argue. I pressed the button. She took the mic and fiercely put it up to her mouth.

It doesn't matter if you love him or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up
she put her hands up like claws.
'Cause you were born this way, baby

My mama told me when I was young
We are all born superstars
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
In the glass of her boudoir

There's nothin' wrong with lovin' who you are
She said, 'cause they made you perfect, babe
So hold your head up, girl and you you'll go far
Listen to me when I say

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause Gods makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way, born this way

Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way

Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be

Clara strutted up the runway.

Give yourself prudence and love your friends
Subway kid, rejoice of truth
In the religion of the insecure
I must be myself, respect my youth

A different lover is not a sin
Believe capital H-I-M hey hey hey
I love my life, I love this record and
Mi amore vole fe yah

I'm beautiful in my way,
'Cause Gods makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret,
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way

Don't be drag, just be a queen
Whether you're broke or evergreen
You're black, white, beige, chola descent
You're Lebanese, you're orient

Whether life's disabilities
Left you outcast, bullied or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
'Cause baby, you were born this way

No matter gay, straight or bi
Lesbian, transgendered life
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born to survive

No matter black, white or beige
Chola or orient made
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born to be brave

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause Gods makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret,
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way, yeah

She threw her head around and strutted back up the catwalk. Carla threw her fist in the air.

Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way
I was born this way, hey
I was born this way, hey
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way, hey

I was born this way, hey
I was born this way, hey
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way, hey

She ended with a finish by sliding on her knees and turning half back to the audience. We all erupted with applause. We all knew it was true. We were born this way; we didn't choose to be demigods. Such a cheesy message but a great way to start it off. My dad had the same thought.

"Way to kick things off Carla!" He yelled. "Who is next?" He glanced at Percy. His eyes widened.
