Well, hello my fellow readers. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. I know I did, hence my reason for not updating when I said I would. Many apologies to that. I have been caught up with Christmas stuff that I didn't have time to finish typing up the chapter. The good news though is that I got a laptop for Christmas. And I'll tell you, I was surprised. Anyways, I'm here now, not actually dead, and eager to post this new complete chapter.

Before I let you, the reader, go and read the chapter, I just want to point this out right now. If you look at the top right corner, you'll see the chapter selection thing. So far, it has been the chapter number and the name of the song used in the chapter. However, there will be chapters that will not have a song. For this chapter it says, 'Chapter 9: To Go or Not To Go (BoS1-NS)'

This is simple, even if it kind of looks confusing. After the title, in the parentheses, BoS means Bonus Scene. I don't need to explain why it's 'Bo' instead of something else. The number after that says which bonus material it is and NS is for those certain chapters that don't have a song in them. I just wanted to point that out. If you are ever confused about that, tell me and I'll glad explain myself. Oh, for those of you who are new and alerted for this story, if it doesn't say 'Chapter ?' it's an Author's note.

I'll let you guys go now. This A/N is getting pretty long. I'll see you at the end.

WARNING: SOME OF THIS MAY GET BOARDLINE T. I DON'T THINK IT'S ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY CHANGE THE RATING FOR THIS STORY BUT I JUST WANT TO BE SAFE. IF WHAT I WROTE IS T STUFF, TELL ME SO I CAN EITHER CHANGE THE STORY OR THE RATING.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of this but the new characters that appear. And as much as Percy argues that he does, he does NOT own the songs in here either.

Percy: I'm not gonna talking to you.

Me: You just did. And why not?

Percy: Cause you gave me a girlfriend that I didn't know I had. Damn it! I did it again.

Me: Oh, Percy. Poor simple-minded Percy.

Percy: What?

Me: Oh, nothing. You'll find out soon enough.

Percy: Humph… hope you guys like my life.

Me: He means chapter. Enjoy. :)

Random Quote of the Day:

"Well, there is one advantage about being me that you can never imitate."

"Really? What's that?"

"Having you as a friend."

Can anyone guess where this is from?

Chapter 9

Bonus Scene #1

To Go or Not To Go

A week passed by in a blur, though Percy and Annabeth didn't mind. They spent their majority of their spare time catching up. At first it wasn't easy, knowing that a certain somebody wanted something more than being friends and yet not being able to be together. Once they both got over that flawed detail, they were able to hang out without feeling awkward with each other.

However, Percy's week came to a screeching halt when he found a letter on his bunk. Granted, the letter didn't contain horrible news but it pose a dilemma for him. The letter simply stated:

Dear Patrick Jackson,

I, Amos Effiant, have been looking and gathering for numerous of singers and bands for a benefit concert that I am planning for. This concert will help in the fight against cancer and will be held in Central Park, New York. I have noticed that in the course of the past year, you and your band have become increasingly popular. If you were to participate, your band will raise millions of dollars to the fight (which all will be given to St. Jude's hospital). So, please let me know whether or not you can join us as soon as possible.

Sincerely, Amos Effiant President of Nation Live

Once Percy finished reading the letter, he sat on his bunk clearly not knowing what to make of this. After a good half an hour of pondering, he finally left his cabin in search of his band members.

When he reached their cabin, for both of them are members of Apollo, he knocked three times. Unfortunately for Percy, the door was answered by someone he never wanted to see again. Jessie stood in the doorway, staring at Percy in awe.

"Percy! Buddy! How have you been? I haven't seen you in like forever. I was starting to think that you were dead already." Jessie confessed.

"Jessie," Percy began with fake enthusiasm and a forced smile. "I've been good. How 'bout you?" Percy forced himself to say those words. He just wanted to see Fred and Robert and leave.

"Well, not so great. Remember that Annabeth and I were together?" Jessie obliviously continued the conversation.

Great! He had to bring that up! Percy thought as he smacked his lips before stiffly nodding and replying, "Yes."

"Well, we're not together anymore. It's so sad. I don't know what happened or what I did wrong." Jessie's eyes and voice was beginning to be filled with sorrow.

"Oh, that is sad," responded Percy with mock sympathy. "Listen, I hate to end this interesting conversation," Percy's voice dripped with sarcasm as he said that. "But, would you happen to know where I can find Robert and Fred?"

Jessie was so shocked by Percy's crudeness that he had to take a moment to realize what Percy just said. "Uh, yeah." Jessie started. "They're, uh... inside. Um, I'll... go get them for you." he stuttered.

Jessie went into his cabin in a state of puzzlement. I'm glad Percy is live, but why is he acting like this to me? We used to be best friends. Jessie thought to himself. Only after he notified Fred and Robert about Percy's presence, and after Percy dragged them away that another thought occurred to him. I never noticed that Percy looks exactly like that Patrick Jackson. And thinking about that, what a coincidence that Annabeth broke up with me after that concert. What an even more coincidence that Percy shows up after our break up. Question mark? Jessie thought with a raised eyebrow.

Without another word or thought, Jessie left his cabin in search of a particular person.

After Percy had dragged his band members away from their cabin, Percy finally told them about the letter. "

So, you're telling us that this Amos Effiant guy wants us to do a benefit concert?" asked Robert.

"Yeah, pretty much." Percy replied.

"And what do you want us to do about it?"questioned Fred this time.

"Well, we are a team and this is a team decision. I don't want you guys doing something that you don't want to do." Percy explained.

Both Fred and Robert looked at each other as they came to a silent agreement. "Percy, dude, I know I'm speaking for both Fred and I," Robert began, "when I say that we'll do anything you want to do." Robert paused, seeing the double meaning of what he just said. Clearing his throat, he continued. "And I mean that in a straight kind of way. 'Cause Fred and I, we have your back dude."

A slight blush rose into Percy's cheeks at Robert comment. "Uh, thanks. I guess?"

"Hey! I don't play for that team!" Robert exclaimed. "Not that you're ugly or anything..."

Fred placed a hand on Robert's shoulder, causing Robert to stop talking. "Robert, just... just stop. You're not helping yourself." At that Robert drooped head down low and let out a long exasperated sigh. "Anyway, Percy. Just think of what you think is right and we'll go along with it."

"Yeah, no pressure." Percy muttered under his breath. Fred simply chuckled and pushed his brother away.

"Come on, Mister I-will-do-anything-for-you." Fred teased, releasing a growl from Robert. Percy stared after them, shaking his head at their idiocy.

After walking around the camp mindlessly, Percy suddenly found himself sitting at the pier eyeing the letter in his hands.

"Hey, Seaweed Brain." called a girl from behind him. Percy quickly hid the letter in one of his pockets and turned to see Annabeth walking up to him. "I've been looking all over for you."

"You have?" Percy replied dumbly, returning his gaze at his hands that were in front of him.

"Yeah." she rebutted. Annabeth in that instant noticed Percy's depressed demeanor and did not held back from calling it out to him. "Hey, what's with the face? Is something wrong?"

He did not respond for a moment. "Can I ask you a hypothetical question?" he finally said to her.

"Uh. sure, I guess." She answered a little taken back.

Only after Percy took a deep breath did he actually asked his question. "If I ever get asked to do a... I don't know, a concert and I came to you to ask for your opinion on it, what would you say?" he concluded, finally looking at her.

Annabeth sat there, staring out into the horizon and putting herself in that position where she actually is at the moment. She knew that she didn't want him to leave again for she cared for him way too much for that to happen. However, he isn't hers and she can't force him to be with her. Well, she can but she knew that it wouldn't be right hold him back from having a happy life. If he was happy, she was happy and at this moment singing made him happy. Without her realizing it, a soft smile broke out onto her face and she was forcing herself not to release the tears that were building up behind her eyes. After what felt like an eternity for Percy, Annabeth finally turned to face him.

"I would tell you to go for it."

"You... you would?" he asked shocked.

"Yeah. Singing makes you happy and you should what makes you happy." she reasoned with him.

At that, a thought came to Percy that he couldn't bring himself to say. But what if I don't know what makes me happy anymore? The two of them sat there on the edge of the pier for a moment in complete and utter silence. When they finally escaped their own bubbles of thought, they came to realize that half an hour had passed by them and that they had other things to do. They said goodbye to each other and agree to see each later.

Hours passed by and the group of 'friends' hadn't seen each. It was only after dinner that the six of them were in the same place. Everyone had gathered around the campfire to do the traditional campfire songs. Fred and Robert met up with Percy at the entrance of the amphitheater.

"Hey, so what did you decide?" asked Fred cryptically for he didn't want Krista, who was next to Percy, to know.

"I don't know yet. I'll let you know when I've decided something." He responded as entered the amphitheater. Both Krista and Percy sat at the highest level where they had a view of everything in front of them.

Everyone was singing along, even Percy until after the first song when he saw something or someone move. Percy then turned his attention at the person who disrupted his focus. After a second he realized that the person was Annabeth and she was not alone. She was talking to someone, someone who Percy believed was Jessie.

Jessie's back was facing towards Percy and Annabeth was facing him. Annabeth was standing before Jessie with a leg kicked out, her arms cross on her chest and her head was tilted a bit to the side. While on the other hand, Jessie was standing straight up, towering over her, and flailing his arms about as though he was begging for her to take him back. The moment made Percy sick with jealousy and rage. He saw as Annabeth shook her head and with the faintest of smiles began to talk to Jessie. At that Percy couldn't bear to see the scene.

Turning towards Krista he brought himself to say, "You know what, I'm not feeling so good. I thinking I'm going to call it a night."

"Oh. Okay. Night, sweetie." she said. Krista leaned in to kiss him, however, at the last second Percy turned his head so she'd get his cheek instead of his lips.

As Percy walked down the stairs, he knew what had to be done. When he reached the bottom, he saw Fred and Robert before him and as he was going to pass them he whispered something to them. Percy didn't give them a chance to reply as he finally left. Though, he did leave to two brothers stunned in their seats. When Chiron finally declared the evening to be over, everyone left to their respective cabins. Nobody noticed anything different; no one saw anyone missing.

Or at least not yet. It was until the next morning that some people noticed a few certain people missing. The kids in Apollo and Maverick noticed that instead of find the bodies of Fred, Robert, and Percy in their beds, they found a single note in their place.

A note that said:

Went to do a concert. I may come back.

There is only one thing to say those three words and that's what I'll do...

...TO BE CONTINUED!

So, that was the first chapter of the bonus scene. Did you like it? Hate it? Do you want to pummel Percy?

Percy: What? Why me?

It's your life.

Percy: It's your writing!

Same difference. Anyway, this may be my last update for a long while. I still need one more review to continue this bonus scene and until then I'm not going to post anything for this story. And besides, I don't have the next chapter written yet. I might write the one-shots that have been pestering my brain. Ah, we'll find out next year.

And as an end of the year gift to me, will you review?

Percy: After you're treating me? Doubt it.

Oh shush, you. Things get better after this.

Percy: Oh, really? Like how does it get better?

Yeah, like I'm going to tell you. Where's the fun in that? Anyways, it's four in the morning over here where I live and I'm tired. I have a big day of babysitting tomorrow, uh, I mean today. Lates.

P.S If I get 75 reviews, you guys can pick another bonus of your choosing (go to my profile and vote on what you prefer).

UPDATE 1/9: For some odd reason, I was compelled to do a Twitter author account. Don't ask (I am also compelled to do an Author's facebook page, which I still haven't done). I will always be using that for keep you guys posted on everything that is story related. Also, if you want to ask or simply want to me, I'll be there. Look for me as Cabin16Nemesis. If I happen to do a facebook page, I'll tell you guys know. I'd probably use it to post sneak peeks and whatnot. Tell me if it's a good idea or not. Until the next chapter (Which I am suppose to be working on right now).
