Song #1

Today, less campers signed up for song night. Many of them had remembered the horrible singing of the performers from the opening song night.

Surprisingly, Travis had decided to sign up for song night again, this time, with his twin, Connor. He smiled as he copied both of their names and their song unto the sign-up list.

Behind Connor and him, Piper and Reyna were pressuring Jason into signing up...


Later...

It was finally song night. Annabeth, like last night, was the hostess.

"Okay," she said, "First up, we have Will Solace, who will be singing Let It Be."

The crowd cheered as Will came up unto the stage, dragging a grand piano. Everyone knew that Will, as a son of Apollo, couldn't possibly fail at singing.

Silence hushed the crowd as Will sat in front of the piano and started playing the legendary Beatles' song. Will played and sang the song so well that by the end of his act, everyone, including Annabeth, was applauding very loudly.

After Will got off the stage with his piano, Annabeth looked at her note card to see who was the next singer, but she was sorely disappointed.

"The next song will be sung by the Stoll twins," read out Annabeth without much enthusiasm.

The crowd started to snicker; they obviously remembered the fiasco pulled off by Travis Stoll from the first night.

Travis, who was holding a guitar, and Connor went up unto the stage. Travis sat cross-legged on the stage while his brother stood awkwardly next to him.

"THIS IS FOR KATIE!" shouted Travis once again. The crowd started to applaud and whistle, not out of respect but out of amusement.

When the crowd finally settled down, Travis started to strum the guitar and played a very familiar tune. The campers were trying to guess what song he was going to sing when Travis finally opened his voice.

It was a very recognizable song.

The crowd murmured. No way was Travis singing Baby, they thought.

But he was. The crowd quickly got a headache from listening to Travis perfectly singing a Justin Bieber song. At some point, Connor started rapping, which was actually worse than Travis' singing.

At the end of the song, Travis stopped strumming his guitar and stood up with his brother. He saw with amusement that the crowd was still groaning from listening to Baby at high volume.

Meanwhile, Annabeth, who had been on the stage with them, had fainted from their mysteriously perfect octaves, both in voice and instrument playing.

Because the hostess was knocked out, the rest of song night was canceled unofficially.


"Hey! Katie!" yelled Travis from within the exiting crowd, "Wait up!"

Katie stopped walking and stood still to let Travis catch up. When Travis finally caught up, she turned around, put her right hand under his chin to pull his face closer to hers,...and slapped him.

"Ow...What was that for?" complained Travis who was touching the newly bruised spot on his face.

"That was for embarrassing me again!" said Katie sternly.

"How did the Hades did I embarrass you again?" he asked back angrily.

"Are you kidding me?" said Katie in a louder voice, "Out of all the songs you could have sang for me, you sang the most idiotic one!"

"I only sang Baby just to get back at the others yesterday," shot back Travis.

Katie shook her head and finally said, "Travis Stoll, I cannot understand you and your intentions, but I can conclude that you are not good enough for me."

She turned around to leave him.

After she walked a considerable distance, Travis found his voice.

"Katie, please give me another chance," he called to her as he ran to her once more.

Katie ignored him and snapped her fingers; some vines grew out of the ground and entangled Travis, preventing him from following her any further.


On Mount Olympus...

"NOOOOOO!" shouted Aphrodite, "NOT TRATIE!"

"What's up?" asked Apollo who had been standing behind her.

Aphrodite jumped at his voice; she had no idea that he was behind her all this time. She finally decided to ignore Apollo's stalker-like behavior and answer his question.

"Katie Gardener doesn't want Travis Stoll anymore because he sang a certain song called 'Baby' for her at song night," she growled.

"What's wrong with Justin Bieber's song?" asked Apollo innocently, "A lot of the ladies love him for that song."

"You do know that everybody else hates him and his music, right?" replied Aphrodite who was rolling her eyes.

Apollo just chuckled and said, "Some people hated me and my descendants just because we were always too awesome for them."

Aphrodite chortled at his reply and said, "You? Awesome? I find that really hard to believe."

"Then, let me show you my awesomeness," replied Apollo with a smile.

He started to pose in front of Aphrodite, who sighed at his idiocy and narcissism.
