I know, I know, I have not updated in forever. Sorry to people who were actually looking forward to reading this story. Thing was, I was so focused on my other story "A Fun Road Trip! Or Is It?" (If you could check it out, that would be awesome!)that I completely neglected this one. Anyway, this is the last chapter. It's extra-long for you guys. Anyway, read, and enjoy. Oh, and check out my other story, okay? It actually has a plot, unlike this one.

Will Solace

After my song was done, the hosts – Leo, Travis and Connor – burst on stage.

Travis took the mic and said, 'And now, the biggest performance of the night. A sing-off between the boys and girls of the Argo II's crew! And yes, Nico and Reyna, that includes you too,' he added, as I saw my boyfriend and Reyna trying to run as the Seven dragged them up the steps.

Once they were up there, Leo joined the boys group, standing on the left side of the stage (consisting of Percy, Jason, Frank, Nico and him), and Reyna joined the girls on the right (Annabeth, Piper, Hazel and her Travis continued, 'Okay, so there'll be three rounds: the first being Pop, followed by Rap or Hip-Hop and finally, Rock. Any questions? Even if you do, I don't care. Now, let's have the coin toss to see who goes first, shall we?'

He turned right around and walked back to center stage and asked, 'Okay, who are the captains?' Leo and Piper walked up to him.

'Okay. Now,' he said and threw (yes, threw. He can't flip a coin if his life depended on it. Idiot)the coin up, 'heads or tails?'

Leo yelled, 'Tails!' Piper said the same, but a second too late. Travis caught the coin (luckily, he can do that, or else this would've taken really long) and said, 'Tough luck, Piper. Leo, what do you wanna choose? Genre or who goes first?' Leo immediately answered, 'We're going first.'

Piper gave a shrug. 'Okay, then. We choose genre as…' she looked back at the other girls, who mouthed something I couldn't understand. It wasn't like I was trying to, or I would've understood (I think it's pretty obvious he's trying to cover up his stupidity, but because of some people (*cough*My best friend *cough*), I've put in this A/N).

She turned back to Travis. 'Pop,' she said before walking back to the group. Leo did the same. They discussed for a few minutes before Leo turned around and yelled, 'We're ready!' to Travis.

He nodded and Frank went over and typed in the song, while Travis and Connor set up some of those lights at concerts. They went up on center stage and started to sing, and I realized that the girls were totally gonna lose this round (I won't use the real words, because I got a lecture on the topic of cussing from my parents and teachers, so now I'm gonna restrict – no, not – swearing anymore).

Uptown Funk you up

Once they were done, everyone was so stunned for a while before slowly beginning to clap, me joining in, contributing quite well, if I do say so myself.

The girls, surprisingly, weren't even fazed. They started to sing soon enough, and I realized that when in doubt, just call on The King of Pop.

They told him don't you ever come around here
Don't want to see your face, you better disappear
The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it

You better run, you better do what you can
Don't want to see no blood, don't be a macho man
You want to be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you want to be bad

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it

They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't want to be a boy, you want to be a man
You want to stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it

You have to show them that you're really not scared
You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare
They'll kick you, then they beat you,
Then they'll tell you it's fair
So beat it, but you want to be bad

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it

No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or who's right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it

After that, there was no doubt who won. If you don't know, guess. It was Michael Jackson (duh).

Travis came back on stage and said, 'Well, that was a hell of a starter round, now let's see what happens in Rap. Boys, when you're ready.' Percy quickly walked up to him and whispered in his ear. H nodded and stayed back on stage.

They started to sing, and safe to say, everybody was so surprised, because these are not exactly bedtime songs. But hey, since when has Eminem made a bunch of kid-friendly songs? And also, who doesn't like Eminem?

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's alright, because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's alright, because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

I can't tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now there's a steel knife, in my windpipe
I can't breathe, but I still fight, while I can fight
As long as the wrong feels right, it's like I'm in flight
High off of love drunk from my hate
It's like I'm huffing paint and I love it the more that I suffer
I suffocate and right before I'm about to drown
She resuscitates me, she frickin'
hates me,
And I love it, wait
Where you going, I'm leaving you
No you ain't, come back
We're running right back, here we go again
It's so insane 'cause when it's going good, it's going great
I'm Superman, with the wind at his back, she's Lois Lane
But when it's bad, it's awful
I feel so ashamed, I snapped, who's that dude
I don't even know his name, I laid hands on her
I'll never stoop so low again, I guess I don't know my own strength

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's alright, because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's alright, because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

You ever love somebody so much
You can barely breathe, when you're with them, you meet
And neither one of you, even know what hit 'em,
Got that warm fuzzy feeling, yeah them chills, used to get 'em
Now you're getting frickin' sick, of looking at 'em
You swore you'd never hit 'em, never do nothing to hurt 'em,
Now you're in each other's face,
Spewing venom, and these words, when you spit 'em
You push, pull each other's hair, scratch, claw, bit 'em,
Throw 'em down, pin 'em, so lost in the moments, when you're in 'em
It's the rage that's the culprit, it controls you both
So they say it's best, to go your separate ways,
Guess that they don't know ya 'cause today, that was yesterday
Yesterday is over, it's a different day
Sound like broken records playin' over, but you promised her
Next time you'll show restraint
You don't get another chance,
Life is no Nintendo game, but you lied again
Now you get to watch her leave,
Out the window, guess that's why they call it window pane

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's alright, because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's alright, because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

Now I know we said things, did things
That we didn't mean and we fall back into the same patterns
Same routine, but your temper's just as bad, as mine is
You're the same as me, but when it comes to love, you're just as blinded
Baby please come back, it wasn't you,
Baby it was me, maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems
Maybe that's what happens When a tornado meets a volcano
All I know is I love you too much, to walk away now
Come inside, pick up your bags off the sidewalk
Don't you hear sincerity, in my voice when I talk,
Told you this is my fault, look me in the eyeball
Next time I'm pissed, I'll aim my fist at the dry wall
Next time, there will be no next time
I apologize even though I know it's lies
I'm tired of the games, I just want her back, I know I'm a liar
If she ever tries to frickin' leave again
I'm a tie her to the bed and set this house on fire

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's alright, because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's alright, because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

The guys were done, and I seriously had no idea how the girls could top that. Then they started to sing.

(Piper: Italics, Reyna: Bold, Annabeth: Underlined, Hazel: Regular, Piper, Annabeth and Reyna: Bold Italics Underline)

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy

I wanted the fame, but not the cover of Newsweek
Oh well, guess beggars can't be choosey
Wanted to receive attention for my music
Wanted to be left alone in public, excuse me
Been wanting my cake, and eat it too, and wanting it both ways
Fame made me a balloon cause my ego inflated
When I blew, see, it was confusing
'Cause all I wanted to do is be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam (Woo!)
Hit the lottery, oh wee
But what I gave up to get was bittersweet
It was like winning a huge meet
Ironic cause I think I'm getting so huge I need a shrink
I'm beginning to lose sleep, one sheep, two sheep
Going cuckoo and cooky as Kool Keith
But I'm actually weirder than you think, 'cause I'm

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy

Well, that's not fair
Well, that's not fair

No, I ain't much of a poet but I know somebody once told me
To seize the moment and don't squander it
'Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrow
So I keep conjuring, sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
(Yeah, ponder it, do you want this?
No wonder you losing your mind, the way it wanders)
Yo-lo-lo-lo-yee-whoo
I think you've been wandering off down yonder
And stumbled onto Jeff Van Vonderen
'Cause I need an interventionist
To intervene between me and this monster
And save me from myself and all this conflict
'Cause the very thing that I love is killing me and I can't conquer it
My OCD is conking me in the head
Keep knocking, nobody's home, I'm sleepwalking
I'm just relaying what the voice in my head's saying
Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy

Well, that's not fair
Well, that's not fair

Call me crazy, but I have this vision
One day that I walk amongst you a regular civilian
But until then drums get killed and I'm coming straight at
Emcees, blood get spilled and I
Take it back to the days that I get on a Dre track
Give every kid who got played at
Pumped up feeling and shit to say back
To the kids who played 'em
I ain't here to save the fucking children
But if one kid out of a hundred million
Who are going through a struggle feels and then relates that's great
It's payback, Russell Wilson falling way back
In the draft, turn nothing into something, still can make that
Straw into gold chump, I will spin Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack
Maybe I need a straight jacket, face facts
I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that
It's nothing, I'm still friends with the

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
(Get along with)Get along with the voices inside of my head
(You're tryin' to)You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
(And what do you think?)And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy

Well, that's not fair
Well, that's not fair

Eminem again, but the girls made sure to pick a song that was just as awesome and deep as Love The Way You Lie, but unfortunately, Piper can't rap very well, and she's the main singer of the group. Oh, well. Maybe next time girls.

Travis strutted back on stage. 'Well, I'm afraid the girls have lost this round, am I right?' The crowd nodded.

'Okay, now it's time to do the final and deciding round, Rock and Roll! Boys, take it away.' Suddenly, panels opened in the floor and a basic drum set, a bass, two mics, and a guitar. Leo smirked and picked up one of the mics, Percy following suit. Nico went to the drums, Jason got the guitar, and Frank the bass. Looks like they've been practicing. The music started, and everyone kicked away (The Ares cabin broke theirs) and began to wave their hands in the air, like it was a concert. Which song did they play? See for yourself.

(All: Bold, Leo: Italics, Percy: Regular, Leo and Percy: Bold Italics)

Ooh oh oh oh, ooh oh oh oh (x2)
B- B- Be careful making wishes in the dark
Can't be sure when they've hit their mark
And besides in the meantime I'm just dreaming of tearing you apart
I'm in the details with the devil
So now the world can never get me on my level
I just got to get you out of the cage
I'm a young lovers rage
Gonna need a spark to ignite
My songs know what you did in the dark

So light em up, up, up, light em up, up, up
light em up, up, up, I'm on fire
So light em up, up, oh-oh, light em up, up, oh-oh,
light em up, up, up, I'm on fire

Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark, in the dark)
Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark, in the dark)

Writers keep writing what they write
Somewhere another pretty vein just dies
I've got the scars from tomorrow and I wish you could see
That you're the antidote to everything except for me
A constellation of tears on your lashes
Burn everything you love
Then burn the ashes
In the end everything collides
My childhood spat back the monster that you see
My songs know what you did in the dark

So light em up, up, up, light em up, up, up
light em up, up, up, I'm on fire
So light em up, up, oh-oh, light em up, up, oh-oh
light em up, up, up, I'm on fire

Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark, in the dark)
Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark, in the dark)

My songs know what you did in the dark
My songs know what you did in the dark

So light em up, up, up, light em up, up, up
light em up, up, up, I'm on fire
So light em up, up, oh-oh, light em up, up, oh-oh
light em up, up, up, I'm on fire

Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark, in the dark)
Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark, in the dark)
Ooh oh oh

The screams and 'Yeah!'s didn't stop even after the performance, and I can't say I blame them. I mean, they did play pretty amazingly. The girls were on next (duh), and instead of Fall Out Boy, it was Imagine Dragons, and oh. My. Gods. Piper was amazing (Don't tell Jason and Nico I said that). It's going to be a tough one to judge this time.

(Piper: Italics, All: Bold)

I'm waking up to ash and dust,
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust,
I'm breathing in, the chemicals (Inhale, exhale)
I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus.
This is it, the apocalypse, whoa.

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones.
Enough to make my systems blow.
Welcome to the new age, to the new age.
Welcome to the new age, to the new age.
Whoa, whoa, I'm, radioactive, radioactive.
Whoa, whoa, I'm, radioactive, radioactive.

I raise my flags, don my clothes,
It's a revolution I suppose.
We'll paint it red, to fit right in, whoa.
I'm breaking in, shaping up, checking out on the prison bus.
This is it, the apocalypse, whoa.

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones.
Enough to make my systems blow.
Welcome to the new age, to the new age.
Welcome to the new age, to the new age.
Whoa, whoa, I'm, radioactive, radioactive.
Whoa, whoa, I'm, radioactive, radioactive.

All systems go, sun hasn't died.
Deep in my bones, straight from inside.

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones.
Enough to make my systems blow.
Welcome to the new age, to the new age.
Welcome to the new age, to the new age.
Whoa, whoa, I'm, radioactive, radioactive.
Whoa, whoa, I'm, radioactive, radioactive.

Travis was extremely ecstatic. He burst on stage, screaming, 'Who here agrees that was an amazing enough performance for a tie? Who agrees?' Everyone screamed, the answers varying from, 'Wooh!' to 'Yeah!' to some daydreamers who said something like, 'Huh? What? Oh. Hmm…?'

Seriously. No kidding. After the performance, Chiron came on stage and formally congratulated the two teams on giving an amazing performance, then told us that it was time for bed and that anyone caught singing at night would be given to the harpies. Wow. I didn't know Chiron hated modern music that much.

As I was walking back to the Apollo cabin, Nico came up to me and said, 'Good night, Will,' before walking away. I made a split-second decision and called, 'Di Angelo?'

He turned around, frowning at hearing his last name.

'What?' he asked.

'You going to keep up your side of the bargain?' He didn't seem to understand at first, but then he remembered what Percy said, smiled, then said, 'You can bet on it.' I smiled. Nothing like finding out your boyfriend's going to stop acting like the Dark Knight (Hey, I love Batman as much as the next guy, except when I'm dating him). Looks like we can stop going to the graveyards for dates.

And as I tucked into bed, I sighed contentedly, reliving our amazing night. This was definitely a night to remember. The songs? Never to forget.

And done. Le story est complete. (I'm still bad at French, huh?) Do check out my other story, guys! Thank you so much for the support. It was amazing. Keep it songs in order: Uptown Funk, Beat It, Love The Way You Lie, The Monster, Light 'Em Up, Radioactive.
