Percy
When I and Piper finished, there was dead silence.
Then, while some stuck to clapping, others were whistling and yelling out praises.
'Can I pick the next singer?' Piper asked me. I smiled and pointed at the bowl, gesturing for her to be my guest. She ran up to the bowl and picked a chit and - very dramatically – began to open it.
When she opened it, she smirked (People do that a lot these days). She gingerly took the mic from me and said, 'I now request our dear Oracle to come up and sing for us, please!' Everyone cheered.
When she came up on stage, she said she wanted to do a group song and wondered if that was allowed. As I went off- stage, I saw her glancing at me. What was going on?
As soon as Connor agreed, Calypso, Nico and Reyna join Rachel on stage. What were they up to?
When the music began, I was so confused about what was going on, I asked Leo what they were singing. He simply pointed at the karaoke machine's screen. It said, 'Send My Love (To Your New Lover)?' (This song might be a bit OOC, but I couldn't think of any other song.)
This was all you
None of it me
You put your hands all over my body and told me
You told me you were ready
For the big one
For the big jump
I be your last love everlasting you and me
That was what you told me
I'm giving you up
I've forgiven it all
(You set me free, ohhhhh)
Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more
Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more
I was too strong you were trembling
You couldn't handle the hot heat rising
Rising...
Baby I'm so rising
I was running, you were walking
You couldn't keep up, you were falling down
Down...
Mmm there's only one way down
I'm giving you up
I've forgiven it all
You set me free, ohhhh
Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more
Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more
If you're ready, if you're ready
If you're ready, I am ready
If you're ready, if you're ready
We both know we ain't kids no more
No, we ain't kids no more
I'm giving you up
I've forgiven it all
You set me free, ohhhh
Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more
Send my love to your new lover
Treat her better
We gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more
If you're ready, if you're ready
(Send my love to your new lover)
If you're ready, are you ready?
Treat her better...
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more
If you're ready, if you're ready
(Send my love to your new lover)
If you're ready, are you ready?
Treat her better...
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more
Rachel
When we finished, Percy had a priceless astonished look on his face, while Annabeth looked next to murderous. I quickly clarified, 'We couldn't find a better song, and this is just to say that we're happy for you and we don't hold anything against you.'
That cleared up their faces, while everyone else praised us for our performance.
Then, Calypso went and picked up a chit and gave it to Leo, while also giving him a kiss.
He looked amused when he saw the name, and yelled into the mic, 'ANNABETH! Come on up here!'
When she came up, she was also indecisive, so Travis had her choose a bowl. She went with the Song bowl.
When she brought it out, she was a bit worried but she managed to gulp it down and began to sing.
We were both young when I first saw you
I closed my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On the balcony of summer air
See the light
see the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way the threw the crowd
And say hello
Little did I know
That you were Romeo you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the stair case begging you please don't go
And I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting
All there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
Its a love story baby just say yes
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet
Cause we're dead if they know
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
Cause you were Romeo I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go
And I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
Its a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me they're trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult but is real
Don't be afraid well make it out of this mess
Its a love story baby just say yes
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said
Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my I don't know what head I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said
Marry me Juliet you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad go pick out a white dress
Its a love story baby just say yes
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
Annabeth
As the music died, I opened my eyes (and no, there was no flashback this time) and saw that everyone was staring at Percy, and he, being the Seaweed Brain he is, was blushing. I would've thought that by now, he would be used to the attention, but I guess not.
I walked over to the bowl and pulled out Frank's name. I smiled and gave it to Leo, who was grinning so bad I thought his mouth would tear and become like the Joker (R.I.P Heath Ledger).
Leo yelled into the mic so loud that the speaker groaned.
'FRANK ZHANG! COME ON UP HERE!' He looked extremely worried, but he put on a brave face and came up.
Leo ran up to him and asked him what he would be singing. He told Leo the name of the song. I raised an eyebrow, and he gave me a shy smile. 'You'll do fine,' I encouraged him. He smiled and began to sing as I descended the stairs.
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs,
But he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down,
The whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's choking how, everybody's joking now
The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that
Easy, no
He won't have it, he knows his whole back's to these ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that but he's broke
He's so stagnant, he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again, yo
This whole rhapsody
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
(You better)
The soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a new world order
A normal life is boring, but superstardom's close to post mortem
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's known as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose 'cause here goes the cold water
His hoes don't want him no more, he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it's old partner but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
(You better)
No more games, I'mma change what you call rage
Tear this motherfucking roof off like two dogs caged
I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhyming and stepped right into the next cypher
Best believe somebody's paying the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cause man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard, and it's getting even harder
Trying to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter totter caught up between being a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screaming on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot or I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motherfucking option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go it's my shot.
Feet fail me not, this may be the only opportunity that I got
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
(You better)
You can do anything you set your mind to, man
I hope you all like it.I know this isn't as good as my last chapter, but I tried my best.
The songs in order: Send My love (To Your New Lover) by Adele, Love Story by Taylor Swift, and Lose Yourself by Eminem.
