Nico didn't know what to think.

He really didn't want kitchen duty but he didn't want to sing either. Most likely his father would make him the chosen camper and he would have to sing.

Luckily, Percy conveniently decided to put a stop to his worrying thoughts. "So what are you going to sing if you get chosen? I'm not sure what I'm going to sing yet but I'm pretty sure I'm going to get chosen."

'This is stupid' Percy mused silently.

Why should they have to embarrass themselves just for the Gods amusement? Oh right. They were demigods. Everything they did was for some higher being's amusement.
