Smaller chapter, but hey! It's something ;) Enjoy!

Annabeth POV:

We landed at night, only leaving the girls and I two hours to get ready and perform in Times Square. We ran as fast as we could through the airport, waving at fans and ignoring the occasional 'The Sirens and The Olympians?' Percy grabbed my hand and tugged me behind him, trying to get us outside and to a car without any more distractions.

"Argus!" I shouted in joy. We didn't have to take a cab thank the gods.

"You guys know him?" Jason said out of breath.

"Yes now get in the car!" Piper shouted and shoved people in.

"Times Square, step on it! Just like the Hollywood performance." Thalia smirked, gaining one from Argus back. We zoomed through the streets, honking and yelling filling our ears through the windows.

We arrived nearly a half an hour later, running backstage and sitting in our chairs. All of the costume designers and makeup artists went to work immediately, rushing around like their lives depended on it. Ours did. I took a look in the mirror, seeing my silver eye makeup and complicated designs, making me look like a showgirl. I had on a tight grey sparkly dress and matching heels. All of us were wearing the same things, only different colors. Hazel was purple, Piper in pink, and Thalia in a dark blue. We looked like walking disco balls. On our cue we walked out and waved to all of our fans. The guys were standing off to the side, silently cheering us on.

"Hello New York!" I yelled with a huge smile on my face. The music started, and I got to my place at the microphone.

Selena Gomez: Slow Down the Song

Now that I have captured your attention
I wanna steal you for a rhythm intervention
Mr. TSA I'm ready for inspection
Show me how you make your first impression
(Oh! Oh!) Can we take this nice and
(Slow! Slow!)
Break it down and drop it
(Low! Low!)
'Cause I just want to party all night in the neon lights 'til you can't let me go!
I just wanna feel your body right next to mine
All night long, baby slow down the song
And when it's coming closer to the end hit rewind
All night long, baby slow down the
Song
Yeah! Baby slow down the
Song
Yeah! Baby slow down the song
If you want me I'm accepting applications
So long as we can keep this record on rotation
You know I'm good at mouth to mouth resuscitation
Breath me in breath me out so amazing!
(Oh! Oh!) Can we take this nice and
(Slow! Slow!)
Break it down and drop it
(Low! Low!)
'Cause I just want to party all night in the neon lights 'til you can let me go!
I just wanna feel your body right next to mine
All night long, baby slow down the song
And when it's coming closer to the end hit rewind
All night long, baby slow down the song
Yeah! Baby slow down the song
Yeah! baby slow down the song
No stopping till the morning (breathe me in, breath me out)
You know I'm ready for it, for it, for it, yeah!
(Breath me in breath me out) The music's got me going (breathe me in, breath me out)
No stopping till the morning (breathe me in, breath me out)
You know I'm ready for it, for it, for it, yeah!
I just wanna feel your body right next to mine
All night long, baby slow down the song
And when it's coming closer to the end hit rewind
All night long, baby slow down the song
Yeah! Baby slow down the song!
Yeah! Baby slow down the song!

The crowd erupted in screams and shouts, calling for another song. We waved and I held the mic up to my lips, ultimately silencing everyone. I walked to the front of the stage and bent down to a girl who looked about 15 years old. I invited her up onto the stage, where I hugged her as she cried. "Hi, what's your name?" I asked with a huge smile on my face. I loved doing this with fans.

"Amber." She said into the microphone.

"Well Amber, how many people did you bring with you tonight?" I asked.

"I'm with my two best friends Livie and Sarah and my mom." She giggled nervously. I nodded my head, producing four tickets from a secret pocket of my dress. She covered her mouth in shock, as she took the tickets from me.

"This is all exclusive passes to our next show in New York, along with VIP passes and a sit down with the four of us." I smiled and hugged her as she cried tears of joy. "Girls would you come down for a minute?" I asked my friends and then motioned to her two best friends. Mom stayed in the crowd. We hugged all of them right there on stage, as the crowd hollered in excitement.

"What song would you guys like us to sing tonight?" Piper asked, an arm slung around Amber.

"My favorite is This is What You Came For from your Gold Album." Amber said happily.

"You heard it guys!" I shouted. "Wardrobe change and be out in 10!" I helped them back into the crowd and then we strutted back up the stage and beyond to the changing rooms. The costume designers worked quickly, putting us in our favorite-colored crop tops and matching black skinny jeans. Hazel was always either gold or purple, Piper was in pink or baby blue, Thalia moved from dark blues to black, and I was usually sea-green or grey. The guys came in quickly for kisses, and then were ushered out as our ten minutes were up. The song they requested was my only solo song, where everyone else only came in for backup. I positioned myself for a long song. I've never performed this one live, it takes too much of my voice to sing all of it at once. With the other songs, I get a break for a few seconds to catch my breath. The girls all give me encouraging smiles as the song begins.

(Annabeth) Solo

This is What You Came For- Calvin Harris ft. Rihanna

Baby, this is what you came for
Lightning strikes every time she moves
And everybody's watching her
But she's looking at you, oh, oh
You, oh, oh, you, oh, oh
You, oh, oh, you, oh, oh
You, oh, oh, oh, oh
Baby, this is what you came for
Lightning strikes every time she moves
And everybody's watching her
But she's looking at you, oh, oh
You, oh, oh, you, oh, oh
You, oh, oh, you, oh, oh
You, oh, oh, oh, oh
We go fast with the game we play
Who knows why it's gotta be this way
We say nothing more than we need
I say, "Your place, " when we leave
Baby, this is what you came for
Lightning strikes every time she moves
And everybody's watching her
But she's looking at you, oh, oh
You, oh, oh, you, oh, oh
You, oh, oh, you, oh, oh
You, oh, oh, oh, oh
Baby, this is what you came for
Lightning strikes every time she moves
Yeah
Baby, this is what you came for
Lightning strikes every time she moves
And everybody's watching her
But she's looking at you, oh, oh
You, oh, oh, you, oh, oh
You, oh, oh, you, oh, oh
You, oh, oh, oh, oh

I grinned at the crowd as I finished, my breaths heavy and I feel like I might faint. We all take a bow, blowing kisses as we exit. As soon as we're backstage, I collapse. My knees are tucked into my chest and my head rests between them.

"What's going- Annabeth!" Percy calls out and slides next to me. He's rubbing my back as the breathing is slowly becoming normal and not so painful.

"She's never had to sing that consecutively before. We never practiced it." Hazel said concerned.

"I'm.. Okay.." I said taking deep breaths. Nico handed me a bottle of water, and I chugged it down quickly. That fixed me up, my throat isn't so dry now. I said to myself. I stood with Thalia's help, leaning on her as I regain my balance. I shook myself out to calm down and then turned to everyone. "Let's do the rest of our songs and then blow this popsicle stand." I smirked widely, turning back to wardrobe.

"Are we still going to Gabe's tonight?" I asked, stripping out of my leather jacket and skirt.

"As far as I know." Piper said shrugging.

"Who's Gabe?" Jason asked defensively from the other side of the curtain.

"Gabe, Gavin, Grant, and Grayson." Hazel counted out. "Better known as G4."

"That group you guys sang with on MTV?" Frank asked. All the guys sucked in a breath.

"Yeah-" Piper started with a smile.

"You guys watched us on MTV?" Thalia cut in, crossing her arms.

"Maybe we did and maybe we didn't." Nico said. We raised our eyebrows, me specifically towards Percy. My glares made him weak, and everyone knew it. You could hear the other guys whispering: Don't do it! We're so screwed.. Percy! Don't give in!

"Okay fine!" He huffed.

"Percy?!" Jason yelled.

"Dude!" Nico shouted.

"I'm sorry!" He said. "Her glares make me tell the truth. I'm telling you, she's not all human." He took a step away to prove his point.

"Whatever." Nico sighed.

"So, we're going?" Hazel asked excitedly. "Grayson should have my guitar built by now, I'm so excited!" She squealed.

"He's building you a guitar?" Frank asked.

"Yes. It's purple and gold, and it has my name on it!" Hazel shrieked. Frank huffed and crossed his arms. Somebody's jealous.

"Let's go." I smiled and walked out. "Wait! The guys have to go separately than us. We cannot be seen with them."

"And why's that Wise Girl?" Percy asked me. "I thought we were good?"

"Artemis still doesn't know we're on good terms, so to speak." Piper said. Thalia snorted at her use of words.

"I think Percy and Annabeth are on more than good terms." Thalia laughed. I felt my face heat as I swatted her away.

"Please just meet us there? Dress nice, we have to go change too." I told him with puppy eyes.

"Alright, fine." He conceded.

"Whipped." Jason coughed. I shot him a glare that shut him up as we were leaving. The last thing I heard was Percy. "See? The glare is on point."
