Hi Hi! Pavalova here.
Yay! Over 100 reviews! Congratulations to adealerman who was the big three digit number! You get a chocolate cake! *hands cake*
Thank you to everyone who reviewed the story! And anyone who put this on their alerts or favorite lists! All of you get a cookie!
And I reached 10 chapters! All thanks to you guys!
Some of you may be wondering where I'm headed right now... And I'll tell you. The next chapter (the one after this one) and the chapter after that, are going to contain a lot of romance... You have been warned. And after that, Sing It Finals are coming!
And I don't own PJO. All of you know.
Now enough chit-chat. Sing It awaits.
As Silena said those final words, they heard a scream. A scream of someone who was extremely pissed. The sky outside darkened, and thunder began to crack. If they didn't have the magical barrier, all of them would have been fried. The ground began to quake and hellhounds started to appear in thin air. As everyone started freaking out and questioned what was going on, a very pissed Thalia headed towards the front, a furious looking Nico tagging along with her.
"WHAT THE HELL!" Thalia shouted at Silena.
"I'm sorry…" she said in a tiny voice.
"THEN WHAT"S WITH THE SONG CHOICES!" Nico shouted.
"I don't choose the songs." Silena lied. hoping that she wouldn't get caught.
"But I do." Thalia muttered bitterly as she grabbed the i-pod out of Silena' hands and started looking through the songs, trying to find one that she could sing.
Thalia: No sir, well I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore.
It's your turn, so take a seat we're settling the final score.
And why do we like to hurt so much?
I can't decide
You have made it harder just to go on
And why, all the possibilities where I was wrong
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating.
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
As Nico heard the chorus, he thought that it was impossible to get her. If she really thought what she sang, he had no chance. No chance.
I wonder, how am I supposed to feel when you're not here.
'Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here.
I still try holding onto silly things, I never learn.
Oh why, all the possibilities I'm sure you've heard.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating (beating)
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
As she sang the song, she didn't know why she chose it, other than that it was a Paramore song. It actually sort of made sense with her life, and as she was thinking, she thought of Luke…
Pain make your way to me, to me.
And I'll always be just so inviting.
If I ever start to think straight,
This heart will start a riot in me,
Let's start, start, hey!
Why do we like to hurt so much?
Oh why do we like to hurt so much?
That's what you get when you let your heart win!
Whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
Now I can't trust myself with anything but this,
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
She finished and the crowd cheered. Silena came up with a smile on her face but Thalia detected something in her eyes. Disappointment? Probably because she didn't sing Barbie Girl.
"That was great!" she said. "Too bad you didn't sing the other song…"
"Are you freaking kidding me?" Thalia cried. "I have a freaking 'Death to Barbie' t-shirt. I seriously wouldn't have sung that stupid, good-for-nothing, idiotic-"
"I think we get the point Thals." Nico said. "Now will you please hand the i-pod over?"
Thalia just smirked and handed it back to Silena. Nico gawked at the sight of what she was doing.
"What the hell are you doing!" he cried.
"Do you really think I would've given you the i-pod?" she asked teasingly as Nico scowled.
"Don't worry Nico. I'll change the song." Silena said, though he didn't trust her as she had a mischievous look in her eye.
She shook the i-pod and the campers had to wait an agonizing 2 seconds for the song to pop up. As it did, Silena took a look at it and smiled.
"Nico, you will be singing…" she began pausing in the middle for dramatic effect. "By Maroon 5, Misery!"
Nico: Oh yeah
Oh yeah
So scared of breaking it that you won't let it bend
And I wrote two hundred letters I will never send
Sometimes these cuts are so much deeper then they seem
You'd rather cover up, I'd rather let them be
So let me be, and I'll set you free
I am in misery
There ain't nobody who can comfort me, oh yeah
Why won't you answer me?
The silence is slowly killing me, oh yeah
'Wow' was all Nico could comprehend as he sang. The song was seemingly perfect for his situation. A little bit too perfect… But he just shrugged it off and kept on singing.
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
Now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back
He noticed the great deal of screaming that came from a few girls, but he didn't notice the questioning and jealous looks that came from our favorite daughter of Zeus.
Your salty skin and how it mixes in with mine
The way it feels to be completely intertwined
Not that I didn't care, it's that I didn't know
It's not what I didn't feel, it's what I didn't show
So let me be, and I'll set you free
I am in misery
And there ain't nobody who can comfort me, oh yeah
Why won't you answer me?
The silence is slowly killing me, oh yeah
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
And now I'm gonna get you back
Now I'm gonna get you back
You say your faith is shaken, and you may be mistaken
You keep me wide awake and waiting for the sun
I'm desperate and confused, so far away from you
I'm getting there, I don't care where I have to roam
Why do you do what you do to me, yeah?
Why won't you answer me, answer me yeah?
Why do you do what you do to me yeah?
Why won't you answer me, answer me yeah?
I am in misery
And there ain't nobody who can comfort me, oh yeah
Why won't you answer me?
The silence is slowly killing me, oh yeah
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
And now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
And now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
And now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
Now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back
"Nico!" Silena squealed, as she rushed over to give him one of her famed bone-crushing hugs. "That was good!"
"Uhh… You can let go now…" he replied as she let go. "And thanks."
"And it was like you related to the song somehow. Care to tell us?" she asked knowingly.
"Not really…" Nico muttered as he started turning into the color of a tomato.
"Alright." she said, giving him a knowing smirk and then a smile. "I'll let it slide this time. But be warned. I will ask later!"
"A-alright…" Nico muttered.
"And now that those two performances are finished, let's get another one through!" Silena shouted as she shook the i-pod. It was another agonizing 2 seconds before the names came out. She looked at it and gave a smile. "Our next performance, will be Should've Said No… by our one and only, Annabeth!"
..O..
Annabeth marched on stage, her face seeming nonchalant, though inside her feelings were in conflict. She already sang, but this song was perfect for her thing with Percy.
"Silena." she said quite formally. "I already sang."
"I know." Silena said. "But this is the last song you'll sing today. Promise."
"Fine." she grumbled, snatching the microphone and waiting for the music to start.
Annabeth: It's strange to think the songs we used to sing
The smiles, the flowers, everything is gone
Yesterday I found out about you
Even now just looking at you feels wrong
You say that you'd take it all back, given one chance
It was a moment of weakness and you said yes
You should've said no, you should've gone home
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You shouldn've known that word
'Bout what you did with her'd get back to me
And I should've been there in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no, baby and you might still have me
She saw Percy as she sang. There was a look of complete guilt and anguish on his face as he listened to her. 'He deserves it' she thought as she kept singing.
You can see that I've been crying
And baby you know all the right things to say
But do you honestly expect me to believe
We could ever be the same
You say that the past is the past, you need one chance
It was a moment of weakness and you said yes
You should've said no, you should've gone home
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You shouldn've known that word
'Bout what you did with her'd get back to me
And I should've been there in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no, baby and you might still have me
She wondered whether she's been to harsh on him for the past few months. But she pushed those thoughts aside. He had broken her heart. He deserved every single punishment she could dish out.
I can't resist before you go tell me this
Was it worth it? Was she worth this?
No, no, no, no, no, no
You should've said no, you should've gone home
You should've thought twice 'fore you let it all go
You shouldn've known that word
'Bout what you did with her'd get back to me
And I should've been there in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet
You should've said no, baby and you might still have me
"Annabeth!" Silena squealed as she came on stage. Annabeth braced herself for one of those 'hugs' she normally receives but it didn't come. All that was there was a smiling Silena and a cheering crowd.
"Silena. That was my last song, right?" she asked.
"Of course! I'm not that mean that I'll make you sing another song." she joked. "But I'm making no promises, so I'll just have to change a rule."
The crowd all went silent as Silena smiled and put the microphone to her lips. "What I said about the song limit. Those rules are gone. Everyone can sing as many songs as they can!"
"But that rule doesn't apply to me, right?" she asked.
"Yes Annabeth." Silena said, reassuring her friend. "Now for one last performance before our dance tonight, let's go check the i-pod!"
Silena shook the i-pod. The crowd waited in anticipation for 2 seconds until the name popped up. Silena's face lit up at the name.
"Our next performance is… The Reason by Hoobastank, sang by… Percy!"
..O..
Percy walked on stage as the crowd cheered even wilder. He went to face Silena… and Annabeth.
"Girls." he said, a little bit too mature sounding.
Annabeth just glared at him and walked off. Silena gave him a sad little smile and handed him the microphone. "Dedicate it to her." Silena whispered into his ear before walking off.
"Uhh… hey guys." he said as the crowd's cheering slowly died down. "Well… I just want to dedicate this song to someone who's still important to me. This is practically telling what I need to say."
Percy: I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
He saw Annabeth's expression as he sang. It looked nonchalant, and he started to get even more depressed. What he didn't see what she felt inside. He didn't see that Annabeth was actually feeling guilty for her actions, and she even had a minor thought of forgiving him, but pushed it away. She was still not forgiving him.
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with every day
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
"Aww…" Silena said as she went up on stage. "That was just… so sweet."
"Thanks." Percy muttered.
"I wish she's forgiven you." Silena said wistfully.
"Yeah… same." Percy said sadly.
"But… such is life." Silena said before changing her tone of voice. "Now all of you better prepare for our 'Valentine's Eve' dance! Wear something pretty! Any girl is welcome to go my cabin for makeovers. And boys, you better look nice. The dance starts at 7:00 pm sharp! Hope to see you there, because that's where we'll continue our little competition and where we'll announce the result of who's going in the finals. Pretty much, be there for the end of round 3 of Sing It!"
Songs Used:
That's What You Get-Paramore

So... How'd you like it?
I promise that there will be romance next chapter. Lots and Lots! And it will include songs!

And I think I should mention this now, because it might soon be too late. I propose a competition. The 120th reviewer of this story, will get a cameo. And it's not one of those stupid, 'you're there for one second and then you're gone' types, but it's going to be an important role, that includes you giving some sense to one of our characters! I promise it'll be good! So good luck reaching 120! Can't wait!
