Chapter 10

So that star in the last chapter '*' was to point out that chortling was a real word! Forgot to mention that!

Anyways…..

I made it to chapter 10! Sure one chapter was only a bio but…

The songs are Beam Me up by P!nk and Talkin To the Moon by Bruno Mars

Disclaimer: I don't own PJO or P!nk or Bruno Mars

Piper Pov.

What was wrong with me? I couldn't even be nice to Harmony! She's like, one of the happiest, nicest girls I've ever met! It's all Drew's fault. The little brat. Why do I have to be a daughter of Aphrodite? Goddess of LOVE and BEAUTY…. Why not something helpful? REAL beauty doesn't exist and love is the worst thing in the whole world! Why do people waste their time on it? Why am I?

Now that I think of it. It's all Jason's fault! He's the problem!

*Flashback* 3rd person

"Hi Jason!"

"Hey Piper."

"What'ch ya doing?" Jason looked up.

"Working." Piper looked down at the blueprints.

"Aren't blueprints Annabeth's job?" Jason cringed.

"Don't say her name to me." Piper decided not to ask.

"Soooo." She said. "Taking anyone to Dedication night? You're supposed to bring a date." He shook his head.

"I'm not going. Now if you'll excuse me, I have work to do." Piper glared at the bowed head of the blonde boy.

"Fine, See you later Sparky. I have to find a date." She ran out before she could see his reaction.

"Now that was pathetic." A fake sickly sweet voice said. I voice I have become to hate. But I kept my cool.

"What was?" I asked.

"No wonder Jason's not interested. A dead slug has got more charm then you sweetheart***." Piper tried to push past Drew. But Drew held her ground.

"Honestly, if that's what you call flirting…." She let it hang…

"Jason is my friend! Whether or not I have a crush on him is my business not yours!" Piper declared. Drew snorted.

"Everything is my business. Whether YOU like it or not." There was a loud 'bang' from bunker 9. Everyone started running towards the explosion. Drew smirked,

"Come on!" She grabbed Pipers arm and started running. The two girls crouched behind a bush while everyone else ran in and out of bunker 9. Inside Piper could hear Jason, Leo and Annabeth yelling.

"We have to go help!" Piper yelled over the noise.

"Hold on!" Drew shouted back. "They got it under control!" Piper sat wringing her hands, just itching to go help. But Drew wanted her to see something. It seemed like YEARS until everyone was out. Sitting in groups checking for wounds. Out of the blue Annabeth ran back inside and came out with a little girl. She handed the little girl off to some Apollo kids then turned on Jason. The fight was epic. Piper tried to jump in the fight to help him but Drew held her back. That girl was strong when she wanted to be! Finally Clarisse put a stop to it. Piper was sure Annabeth would have killed him. Then Harmony yelled something and everyone ran away. Except for Piper, Drew, Leo and Jason. Leo went over to Jason and helped him up. Then they walked off together. Piper turned on Drew. She was watching the scene with raised eyebrows.

"Well that turned out differently than I expected." She muttered to herself. To Piper she said.

"See? No one likes Jason. He's an outcast. If you go to him you will be a freak. And besides. You're a Greek, he's a Roman. If you leave, I'll have control of the cabin and what will you have? A boyfriend that probably already has a girlfriend."

"So?" Piper returned, "Since when have I fit in? It doesn't matter to me." But something was bugging her.

*End Flashback*

Pipers Pov.

Was Jason trying to protect me? Or was he just being plain stupid. Teenage girl problems!

Piper heard rustling behind her and talking in low, slurred voices. She leaned closer try to catch the words. It was the Part Ponies.

"We can't do it for this next song!"

"Why not?"

"Didn't you hear? It's for the fallen. Ya know… dead people! We're not that disrespectful!"

"Kay, fine. But the next song for sure!"

"Only if it's a party one!" I heard a dull thud, like they had smashed heads together. Morons.

Oh! They song is starting!

Harmonys Pov.

Oh boy. This is it. I'm more nervous for this song then the whole night put together! All the Apollo kids jumped off the stage, except for me, Will and Lirit. I stood up and looked over the crowd. These were my friends, my family. But there were some missing. I knew that I wouldn't see them again until I have died and gone to the underworld.

"Ok, Umm, guys? This next song is really important… It's dedicated to the hero's that have fallen." Silence. "Hope you like it." I nodded at Will and he started playing his guitar.

There's a whole n'other conversation going on
In a parallel universe Well, the underworld
Where nothing breaks and nothing hurts Yep
There's a waltz playing frozen in time
Blades of grass on tiny bare feet
I look at you and you're looking at me

Could you beam me up,
Give me a minute, I don't know what I'd say in it Clarisse stood firm in body but there were tears streaming down her face.
Probably just stare, happy just to be there holding your face Clarisse allowed herself on moment of weakness, she closed her eyes and turned her tear stained face to the sky
Beam me up,
Let me be lighter, tired of being a fighter, Oh Silenea
I think, a minutes enough,
Just beam me up. I don't think years would be enough

Then Lirit and Melody on violins started.

Some black birds soaring in the sky,
Barely a breath like our one last say
Tell me that was you, saying goodbye,
There are times I feel the shiver and cold,
It only happens when I'm on my own,
I tell ya, tell me, I'm not alone Truer words have never been sung.

Will started singing harmony.

Could you beam me up,
Give me a minute, I don't know what I'd say in it
I'd Probably just stare, happy just to be there, holding your face A few camper closed their eyes trying to picture the ones they had loved and lost.
Beam me up,
Let me be lighter, tired of being a fighter,
I think, a minutes enough,
Just beam me up.

In my head, I see your baby blues My throat tightened as I thought of Michael Yew, my half-brother who had died in the war.
I hear your voice and I, I break in two and now there's
One of me, with you

So when I need you can I send you a sign
I'll burn a candle and turn off the lights
I'll pick a star and watch you shine Annabeth looked up at the sky and sought out Zoe Nightshade, the huntress who had been killed in a quest to save HER and Artemis.

Just beam me up,
Give me a minute, I don't know what I'd say in it
Probably just stare, happy just to be there, holding your face
Beam me up,
Let me be lighter, tired of being a fighter,
I think, a minutes enough,
Beam me up
Beam me up
Beam me up Please beam me up.
Could you beam me up.

Sometime there were no words to explain how you feel. This was one of those times.

There was complete silence after I finished singing. Then, someone lifted three finger to their lips then to the sky. Everyone else followed suit. It was beautiful. Even though it was a made up sign of respect.

We stayed still for a few minutes with our arms upraised and our heads bowed.

Then I lifted my head and said softly,

"We will never forget the ones who gave their lives to fight for our camp." There were a few murmured 'ya's'

"So, um, sorry to take the mood down BUT we have one last sad song for you guys!" They groaned as they blew their noses and wiped their faces,

"BUT!" I continued, "This one is for Annabeth, So… sorry Annabeth! I'll say now, if you really like Annabeth and you want to protect her,, surround her and be strong for her. Here we go." I looked at Allen and he started playing the piano, Then Will started singing,

*** Everything normal is Annabeth and everything in italics is Harmony or other campers. SORRY***

I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away
I want you back
I want you back I can't believe she had the NERVE

My neighbors think I'm crazy
But they don't understand
You're all I have
You're all I have had… but will have again.

At night when the stars It's not that bad during the day but at night when it's dark…
Light on my room or ya know… the Poseidon cabin.
I sit by myself yep.

Talking to the moon, tryin' to get to you
In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too
Oh, am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon Oh my word! Why am I crying? This describes me perfectly!

Drums started coming in.

I'm feeling like I'm famous
The talk of the town
They say I've gone mad
Yeah, I've gone mad almost

But they don't know what I know No body know what I think or do. Except Percy, He always knew.

'Cause when the sun goes down
Someone's talking back

Yeah, they're talking back

Jason looked over at Annabeth, She was sobbing quietly. She was so strong, for her to be broken down and defeated like this…. This Percy guy must have meant a lot to her.

Annabeth looked at the moon, she thought she saw Artemis wave at her,

At night when the stars
Light on my room
I sit by myself

Talking to the moon, tryin' to get to you
In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too
Oh, am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon Am I a fool?

Do you ever hear me calling?

'Cause every night
I'm talking to the moon, still tryin' to get to you
In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too
Oh, am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon

I know you're somewhere out there I know it
Somewhere far away

far, far away. Oh Percy. I miss you.

I'm really sorry for the long update! So I did two songs! Hope you liked it!

*** Hunger games quote! I love Haymitch! :P

Next chapter will be fun! Promise! One last thing, I don't hate Aphrodite or Drew, I actually like Drews character, I think she has more levels to her then everyone gives her credit for!

If there are any mistakes please let me know!
