Now enough with the rambling. Sing It is waiting.
Don't own PJO.
There she was. Being dragged along with Katie by Silena to the dining pavilion where they set up the dance. She was dreading for what was to come, because she had always hated dances. Even though she only went to few, she absolutely detested them. Now she was being forced to go to another one.
After being 'persuaded' (threatened really) to go to Aphrodite cabin for makeovers, how could she possibly refuse? It was going to be a disaster. And now here she was, standing outside the dining pavilion against her will. Though she thought that Aphrodite cabin made her look quite remarkable really.
She was wearing a strapless silver dress that was tight from chest to waist but free flowing from the point to just above her knees. Silena had said that it 'complimented her eyes' or something of that sort. She was wearing matching heels with the dress. She had on light make-up and voila! Remarkable looking Annabeth!
Katie didn't look bad herself. She was wearing a green dress, tight just around the chest but flowing from that point to at least 2 inches above her knees. The dress had a ruffled look to it. She was wearing matching green heels and light make-up. And voila! Shocking looking Katie.
Silena looked no better. She was wearing a strapless red dress, practically complimenting every curve she had and ending above her knees. It was a better alternative than her normal 'pink'. She was also wearing deep red heels and had perfect make-up. She looked stunning.
Now back to reality. They were standing outside the pavilion, with campers filing in from all directions. It looked like the party had started to liven up because some camper had started to sing Freak the Freak Out. People inside were dancing and cheering. Lights were flashing and music was pounding. All in all, a place Annabeth never wanted to go to.
"Oh c'mon!" Silena said, noticing Annabeth's pessimistic attitude. "It's going to be fun!"
"As if." Katie scoffed.
"Stop being so pessimistic!" Silena said. "You're going to have fun!"
"If you say so…" Annabeth said as they walked into the pavilion.
No-one seemed to notice their entrance until the music ended. Someone managed to spot them as the music faded away and their jaw dropped. Other people started to notice until the whole room practically went dead silent; gawking at the sight of the girls.
"Well…" Katie said. "This is going to be a long night…"
..O..
He was having fun. He was flirting with his wonderful girlfriend until 'they' had to be seen. It seems that no-one had noticed them, until some unknown little kid had to practically gawk at them and everyone noticed. Including him. He turned his head to see at what everyone was looking at, and there he saw… Her.
She was wearing a green dress. A green dress that made her look more smoking hot than usual. Her hair was loose and wavy. She was wearing minimal make-up that made her look like an angel. He practically forgot the world as he stared at her. He didn't even notice that he was drooling. Not that his girlfriend minded though. She left him once he had started staring to go 'talk' to a 'friend' of hers.
After everyone had stopped staring, she had gone over to the snack table and gotten a drink. That's when he noticed 'him'. He walked up to her and started chatting her up. She just played along as he flirted with her. After a few more minutes, he held his hand out, which she graciously accepted and they headed off towards the dance floor.
Anger bubbled inside of him as he watched the two. He just wanted to punch the guy that was with her. He was enraged. Not only because he was dancing with Katie, but also because it was his idiot of a brother, Connor…
..O..
They had entered the room, and he didn't notice. Until one kid had to point them out. He turned his head to see what they were all staring at, and he saw her.
Her silver dress, illuminated in the lights of the dance floor and complimenting her eyes. Her heels and minimal amount of make-up. She was the picture of perfection to him. Even Aphrodite herself couldn't compare to her beauty. She had a bored and nonchalant expression on her face, making her look as if she didn't want to be there, which was true.
After a while, everyone stopped looking, but he just watched. He watched as she went over to grab some chips from the table. He watched as she watched everyone with the same bored expression. As he kept watching, his view was blocked by a certain girl staring at him eagerly.
"So… What'cha staring at?" Silena asked, her voice high pitched and squeaky.
"Nothing." Percy said hastily, making him look even guiltier.
"Liar." Silena said smugly. "You're staring at Annabeth and don't you dare deny it."
"Fine." Percy grumbled. "You're right. I'm staring at her."
"Wonderful!" she said perkily. "Now why don't you go ask her to dance?"
"Because I have this fear of death awaiting me if I go near her." Percy said jokingly. Silena smiled.
"Alright. If you say so. But since you have this spare time, I'm going to make you do something." she said, her smile concealing her true motive.
"Which is-" he began, but not finishing his sentence as he was grabbed on the arm and dragged to the stage where a camper had just finished singing I Gotta Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas.
"Hi everyone!" Silena said as the crowds' stares fixated on her. "How are you on this wonderful evening?"
The crowd cheered and Silena smiled. "That's good. Now I have a performance all of you have probably been waiting for. Here is, Percy!"
She shoved Percy into the spotlight and gave him the microphone. The music started and he recognized it as Into the Night by Santana.
Percy: Like a gift from the heavens, it was easy to tell
It was love from above that could save me from hell
She had fire in her soul it was easy to see
How the devil himself could be pulled out of me
There were drums in the air as she started to dance
Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands
And we sang
Everyone had started dancing and there was a ring in the middle of the crowd. People had pushed her until Annabeth was in the middle. She was followed by Katie then by Thalia, who was wearing a black gothic dress. Pure shock registered on Annabeth's face as she realized that the crowd had wanted her to dance. She glanced to Thalia and Katie who were nodding. She then smiled smugly and stepped forward. She started clapping and spinning. Thalia and Katie followed her lead and the campers danced, following their steps.
Ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay
And the voices bang like the angels sing
We're singing, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay
And we danced on into the night
Ay, oh, ay, ay, oh, ay, oh
And we danced on into the night
Like a piece to the puzzle that falls into place
You could tell how we felt from the look on our faces
We were spinning in circles with the moon in our eyes
The room left them moving between you and I
Percy stared at Annabeth as he sang. She danced gracefully and in time with the music. Her dance enchanted him.
We forgot where we were and we lost track of time
And we sang to the wind as we danced through the night
And we sang
Ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay
And the voices bang like the angels sing
We're singing ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay
And we danced on into the night
Ay, oh, ay, ay, oh, ay, oh
And we danced on into the night
Ay, oh, ay, ay, oh, ay, oh
And we danced on into the night
As the instrumental started, everyone stopped dancing and just clapped, watching the three girls who were in a triangle shape. Not facing each other, but seemingly knowing the others' moves. They danced and clapped. Their dance was some Latin type, and it seemed to have a magical quality, enchanting everyone in the room.

And we danced on into the night
As the music faded and the girls stopped, the whole crowd cheered. Silena went up on stage and hugged Percy before snatching the microphone off of him.
"Wasn't that just spectacular?" she asked as the crowd cheered. "And girls! Your dancing was phenomenal!"
The girls smiled at the compliment and Silena returned it. "But the party's just getting started! Please give it up, for our next performance."
..O..
As he was called, he went up on stage. The crowd gasped in delight as he saw him. He was tackled to the ground by his best friend. Percy was shocked to see him. Nature's best-friend, Grover.
"Grover!" Percy cried as they both got up. "You're here!"
"Off course I am! Do you really think I would've missed a party like this?" he asked.
"Of course not." Silena said. "Now time's a wasting. You can catch up later. Right now, I think you should get started."
"Yeah. She's right man." Grover said.
"Alright. I'll see you later G-man" Percy said before heading off stage.
"I think everyone might want to get a partner for this one. Just saying." Silena said before she handed the microphone to Grover. The music started and everyone recognised it as one of Chris Brown's songs.
Grover: 1, 2, 3, 4!
Hey! Hey!
Forever
Hey! Hey!
Forever
It's you and me
Moving at the speed of light into eternity
Tonight is the night
To join me in the middle of ecstasy
Feel the melody and the rhythm of the music
Around you, around you
I'ma take you there, I'ma take you there
So don't be scared, I'm right here, ready?
We can go anywhere, go anywhere
But first, it's your chance, take my hand, come with me
It's like I waited my whole life for this one night
It's gon' be me, you and the dance floor
Cause we only got one night
Double your pleasure, double your fun
And dance forever-ever-ever
Forever-ever-ever
Forever-ever-ever
Forever
(Forever)
Ever-ever-ever
Forever-ever-ever
Forever-ever-ever
Forever on the dance floor
As he sang, he noticed the following pairs dancing together. Percy and Thalia; Annabeth and Nico; Katie and Connor and Travis with his girlfriend. He knew that they were all matched with the wrong person and started to lose hope. But then he remembered Silena' plan and smiled. All of them were going to dance together by the end of the night, one way or another.
Feels like were on another level
Feels like our love's intertwined
We can be two rebels
Breaking the rules, me and you, you and I
All you gotta do is watch me
Look what I can do with my feet
Baby, feel the beat inside
I'm driving, you could take the front seat
Just need you to trust me, oh oh oh
It's like now
It's like I waited my whole life for this one night
It's gon' be me, you and the dance floor
Cause we only got one night
Double your pleasure, double your fun
And dance forever-ever-ever
Forever-ever-ever
Forever-ever-ever
Forever
(Forever)
Forever-ever-ever
Forever-ever-ever
Forever-ever-ever
Forever on the dance floor
It's a long way down, we so high off the ground
Sending for an angel to bring me your heart
Girl, where did you come from? Got me so undone
Gaze in your eyes got me saying
What a beautiful lady, no ifs, ands or maybes
I'm releasing my heart and it's feeling amazing
There's no one else that matters, you love me
And I won't let you fall girl, let you fall girl
I won't let you fall, let you fall, let you fall
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
It's like I waited my whole life for this one night
It's gon' be me you and the dance floor
Cause we only got one night
Double your pleasure, double your fun
And dance forever-ever-ever
Forever-ever-ever
Forever-ever-ever
Forever
(Forever)
Forever-ever-ever
Forever-ever-ever
Forever-ever-ever
Forever on the dance floor
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh yeah
Forever-ever-ever-ever
Forever-ever oh
As the music faded, the crowd cheered. Silena walked up on stage and grabbed the microphone off Grover's hands.
"Wasn't that just awesome?" she asked and the crowd burst into a tumult of cheers again. "But don't think that's the end. We've got more waiting in store for you for our Valentine's Eve dance."
