A/N: Four more songs to go!

Song #11

"Gods," muttered Chiron.

The centaur, Mr. D, Percy, and Annabeth were watching the Cyclopes reconstruct the Big House, which had been destroyed by Percy last night. Chiron had to call the Olympus Building Crew in the morning so that the iconic camp structure may stand once more.

While Chiron watched the workers, Mr. D turned to Percy and said, "Why did the Hades did you decide to throw a flood at my house, Jackson!"

"It wasn't my fault!" exclaimed the son of Poseidon.

Mr. D raised an eyebrow at him and said sarcastically, "Oh, so you mean to tell me that a giant tsunami wave just happened to come from thin air, huh?"

Percy was about to fire an angry retort at Mr. D when Annabeth intervened and said, "Mr. D, what Percy meant to say was that he didn't mean to divert the flood into the Big House."

Mr. D crossed his arms, but didn't bother to respond against Annabeth's statement.

Finally after some seconds, he said to Percy, "What I will like to know is how there was a flood in the first place."

"The flood formed from the camper's tears of nostalgia," answered Annabeth.

"Say what?" said Mr. D out of confusion.

Annabeth explained to Dionysus about last night's events and how she, Percy, and Jason sang the Pokemon theme song and ended up making all of the campers to cry from their happy memories of Ash and Pikachu and create the nostalgia flood.

After Annabeth finished, Mr. D glared at the two of them before saying, "By what you have told me, I have decided to ban the Pokemon theme song from Song Night."

"Wait, why?" protested Percy.

"It's obvious, Jackson," said Mr. D, "The Pokemon song is too dangerous to be utilized by you foolish mortals, and besides, the Pokemon games suck compared to the Pac-Man games."

Outraged, Percy retorted with, "Well, that's because you don't have a keen eye for beauty like the rest of us."

"Percy, that wasn't exactly the smartest thing to say," muttered Annabeth as they both watched Mr. D turn red with anger.

Dionysus scowled darkly at the two of them before saying to Percy, "Then why don't you let your keen eye watch my sure foot kick your smart ass?"

"That's enough, Dionysus,"

The two mortals and the god turned around to Chiron's voice. The old centaur obviously had been watching the three of them for some time.

Chiron turned to Annabeth and Percy and said, "Tell everyone that for tonight's Song Night, there will be a group competition. All the campers must participate in groups of six and follow all of the current guidelines."

Chiron paused before continuing with, "By the way, remind them that they have to perform without the blessing of Apollo."

Later...

"What do you mean that we have to sing without Apollo's blessing?"

"It means that we actually have to try to avoid looking like fools, Thalia."

Annabeth, Percy, Nico, Thalia, and Jason were sitting in a circle in the Poseidon cabin, discussing their plans for tonight's Song Night. Annabeth had just pointed out that they can't just pick any song to sing, for Apollo will not be blessing any of the campers for tonight.

"That's not fair," replied Thalia, "All of the Apollo groups are going to win this stupid competition just because they are already talented at anything musical."

"I suppose we can try autotune." said Percy slowly.

Annabeth glared at her boyfriend and said, "We are not going to use autotune, kelp-for-brains. Don't you know that most of today's music is crap because of that stupid invention?"

"Not cool, Annabeth," growled Percy, "I like most of today's music, especially LMFAO's music."

Percy turned to the other three and said, "You guys agree with me, right?"

Jason shrugged at him and replied, "To be frank with you, I don't really listen to music that much."

"What about you, Nico?" asked Percy to the fourteen-year old.

"Well, I like songs that have the theme of death in them," responded Nico in a creepy voice.

"Such as?" inquired Percy.

"Like 1-800 Suicide, Black Parade, etc," replied the child of Hades.

"So do you like today's music?" asked Percy impatiently.

"No, not really," said Nico to Percy's annoyance.

Annabeth gave Percy an amused smile, which irritated Percy even further. The savior of Olympus decided to finally ask Thalia.

"Percy, you know that I don't like today's music," said Thalia before Percy even opened his mouth to ask.

"Yeah, I almost forgot that you were obsessed over Green Day and Nirvana," muttered Percy.

"Obsessed and proud of it!" declared Thalia while she smiled at Annabeth, "Rock and roll forever!"

The two girls gave each other a very loud high-five as Percy sulked.

Jason cleared his throat to get everyone else's attention and said, "Guys, we really need to get working on our song. For one, we don't even know what song we are supposed to perform."

"That's easy," replied Annabeth, "We are going to do a simple song that doesn't require much talent to sing."

"Like what?" demanded Percy, who was still pissed that he had lost an argument to Annabeth.

Annabeth rolled her eyes as she said, "Like that campfire song from Spongebob, Seaweed Brain."

"So we are going to be singing that stupid song while one of us plays a guitar, huh?" said Percy.

"Didn't I imply that the Campfire Song Song was just an example and not the actual song we are going to perform?" replied Annabeth in a cool voice.

"You were never clear when you talked," grumbled Percy. He turned his back on his girlfriend.

"Someone's mad," whistled Thalia.

Annabeth smirked at her best friend and said, "Watch me fix this with my magic."

"What magic?" laughed Thalia, "If I remember correctly, you are a daughter of Athena, not a daughter of Hecate, Annabeth."

Annabeth ignored Thalia and Jason's snickers and walked over to Percy to sit next to him. She then put her head near his face; this gesture did not go unnoticed by Percy.

"What do you want?" he said, "Wait, what are you do-."

The rest of Percy's sentence was swallowed by Annabeth's mouth.

Thalia and her brother watched the scene with disgust, their laughter finally gone. Only Nico found the situation particularly funny and smiled at the Graces' reactions.

"Your face expressions are priceless," he told them, "They look like those of the undead, only uglier."

"Not funny, Nico," replied Jason while the usually pessimistic child of Hades chuckled

Thalia gave Nico a funny grin and said, "You know what would be really funny? Luke Castellan watching these two lovebirds kiss."

Nico raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you suggesting that we disturb Luke's soul just so we can entertain ourselves by watching him cry over Annabeth and Percy's kiss?"

"Pretty much," Thalia replied, "Come on Nico, it would be fun!"

"Thalia, I don't think this is such a good idea," warned Jason.

Thalia turned towards him and said, "You know what would be a good idea, Jason? You wearing some pants that weren't leather."

"But these are my only pair," countered Jason, "Besides, I like leather."

Thalia ignored his protest, turned back her attention to Nico, and said, "So are you going to revive Luke or not?"

"I am going to regret this," thought Nico as he stabbed the ground with his Stygian Iron blade.

Later at Song Night...

"Hello campers and welcome again to another super-special-awesome night of Song Night!" declared Drew.

Most of the crowd cheered at her words and the child of Aphrodite continued with, "As you all know, we have a group singing competition tonight, and Chiron has informed me that the winning group will get shower priorities and no KP duty for the rest of the year!"

"Chiron didn't tell us that," said Percy to Annabeth.

Annabeth shrugged and replied, "Drew is probably just BS'n."

Drew raised her left hand to read out an index card and said, "The first group to go up will be Will Solace and his five siblings."

"I love how she doesn't mention their names," deadpanned Percy.

Meanwhile on the stage, Will and his siblings were amazing. They played the impossible Through the Fire and Flames song without any mistakes or pauses. At one point, Will played the the song's epic guitar solo with the lead guitar behind his back! Everyone cheered at his feat and at the end of the performance, threw roses at he and his band.

"That's going to be tough to follow up," thought Percy as he watched them leave the stage, "I'm sure glad that we are not going after them, especially when our song is so stupid."

The following groups after Will Solace and his band were horrible. Without Apollo's blessing, they either had off-key singing or horrible instrument playing. Only Nyssa's group managed to not be a complete failure, but that was only because they had Kayla, who was a daughter of Apollo.

When Drew finally called out their group, Percy and Annabeth, along with the other members, walked up slowly to stage, dreading the embarrassment that was soon to follow.

It was quite a surprise to the crowd when a ghostly Luke Castellan came out of nowhere and settled himself between Annabeth and Thalia. Drew had to hide her shock when she said, "Luke?"

Luke looked bored at all the attention and said in a monotone voice, "Yes, it's me. I have come back from the dead to help my former friends to sing one stupid song."

The former leader of the Hermes cabin then put on a smile and said, "Let's start, shall we?"

Luke waved his hand and made six chairs materialize onto the stage. On his cue, he and his group sat in the chairs.

A mysterious ticking noise started to play, and the song began.

"Grace, Grace, Thalia Grace
Grace, Grace, Thalia Grace"

"Annabeth!"

"Grace, Grace, Thalia Grace"

"Annabeth!"

"Grace, Grace, Thalia Grace"

"Annabeth!"

"Grace, Luke, Grace, Luke, Thalia Grace, Castellan"

"Annabeth!"

"Grace, Luke, Grace, Luke, Thalia Grace, Castellan"

"Annabeth!"

"Grace, Luke, Jah-ason, Grace, Luke, Thalia Grace, Castellan, Jah-ason"

"Annabeth!"

"Grace, Luke, Jah-ason, Grace, Luke, Jah-ason, Thalia Grace, Castellan, Jah-ason"

"Annabeth!"

"Grace, Luke, Jah-ason, Grace, Luke, Thalia Grace, Castellan, Jah-ason"

"Percy Jackson, Percy Jackson, ooh! Percy Jackson, Percy Jackson, yeah! Percy Jackson, Percy Jackson, ooh! Percy Jackson, Percy Jackson, that's me!"

"Annabeth!"

"Grace! Percy!"
"Grace! Percy!"
"Grace! Percy!"
"Grace! Percy!"
"Grace! Percy!"
"Grace! Percy!"
"Grace! Percy!"
"Grace! Percy!"

"Annabeth!"

"...Jah-ason"

"Annabeth!"

"Grace, Luke, Jah-ason, Grace, Luke, Thalia Grace, Castellan, Jah-ason"

"Percy Jackson, I'm Percy Jackson, I'm Percy Jackson, Percy, Percy Jackson"

Then, the five singers stood up and sang.

"Singing our song all day long at caaaa-aaammmp."

"I found the source of the ticking; it's a time bomb!"

The crowd screamed in fright when Luke took out a time bomb from behind his back.

Luke rolled his eyes and said, "Oh, come on, it's not even real."

The crowd still didn't believe him, so everyone on the stage had to leave while Luke was forced to dispose of the "bomb". The ghost flew to the camp beach and threw it into Long Island Sound.

As he flew back to the amphitheater, he heard a large "BOOM!" and decided to ignore it.

When he came back, everyone was staring at him and were raising eyebrows at him. Luke decided to settle next to Annabeth, who tried to slug him and failed.

"You idiot," she said, "You actually used a real time bomb."

Luke gave a ghostly shrug and went back to the Underworld. Then, everyone else started to stare at the other five singers and began to yell at them.

"You almost got us killed!"

"Your song sucked!"

That was when a glowing figure of light appeared unto the stage. All the campers turned to look at the strange phenomenon and continued to watch it as it dimmed down to a watchable figure.

It was Apollo.

The god of singing, the sun, and other stuff grinned at the campers and said, "So how's the competition going?"

A/N: This chapter's song was inspired by "The Mysterious Ticking Noise" which belongs to Neil Cicierega and his Harry Potter Puppet Pals.
