Hey ya''ll! Here's the second chapter! I told you that it would be longer!

Disclaimer: Yeah. So I don't own Percy Jackon. So what? It's only one of the best series in the universe!

Chapter 2

Yeah some announcement. All he really stated was the difference between Symphony and String. He handed out this paper:

Great. Just great. I save the world, and this is how they pay me back. By forcing me to get up at an ungodly hour (pun intended) and setting me loose upon the camp armed with a bow and a string instrument. Just fantastic.

Annabeth POV

My eyes quickly scanned the half sheet of paper in front of me. Hmmm. Orchestra. How did I feel about that. I had always been curious as to how I would do at playing an instrument, but I had never really had the gumption or the motivation to do so. Oh well. Now I would have to.

I looked up at the sky, and saw that rain clouds were forming above the horizon. These weren't just any clouds though. These were massive Percy's-in-a-bad-mood-so-he's-going-to-mess-with-the-weather rain clouds. Crap. The last time he did that, the rain actually broke through the bubble that surrounded the camp, and we had rain for three days.

I should probably go settle him down…

Grover POV

Well. This was going to be interesting. 90 ADHD kids will be given extremely expensive instruments. Real smart of Chiron. Itleast now I could showcase my talents for playing random songs like '21 Guns' and 'Poker Face' on classical instruments. People really need to realize the fact that Lady Gaga and Green Day sound quite excellent on the lute. What worries me though is how will I continue my search? I might have to convince Chiron that the Satyrs shouldn't be required at every rehearsal...

Percy POV

I went down to the edge of the beach to think for a while. An orchestra! What was he thinking!? Doesn't he realize that ADD kids with instruments have the equivalent amount of power as Kronos with a lightening bolt!? We could have people committing suicide wherever we went, just to escape the sound.

I walked close to the edge, walking half in the water, half not. I looked up, and saw an old man sitting, fishing. He was incredibly tan, and had black hair just like mine.

"Dad?" I said, and my pace speeded up until I was standing right beside him.
He looked up, and his green eyes were sparkling with amusement.

"Percy, my boy. Long time no see!" he place his hand on my shoulder. "I can't talk very long. I just came here to ask you to call the storm off. Any more rain, and New York city will be a mud pit!"

I looked up in confusion at the sky, wondering what I had done wrong this time. I saw that huge purplish clouds had gathered around the horizon, and were beginning to crackle with lightening. Oops.

I concentrated on the sky clearing up, on the wind picking up and blowing the storm down south towards Georgia, where I hear they need some rain. When I looked up again, the clouds were gone.

"You are getting better." My dad said proudly.

I had no answer, so I just blushed and examined my red converses.

"I'm also here to tell you to give music a chance. It's in your blood you know. From both sides."

I seemed to remember in the back of my mind that my mother's father was some sort of world class pianist and violinist. And the ocean was a symphony all to itself.

"You may end up enjoying more than you ever thought you would." He added, almost as an after thought. And then he was gone.

I sighed. So I wasn't going to be allowed to throw my instrument into the ocean. So much for getting through this summer with my sanity still intact. This was going to be a long summer.
