I will never own PJO. All songs at the bottom. Thanks a bunch to cotix 14, Charlie, xXGred-ForgeXx, booketgirl11, Sabby1234, speedyteeny and MandyJane for reviewing. Here you go . . .
Katie POV
We broke apart. I was crimson and Travis' cheeks were slightly pink.
"Um," I began intelligently, being saved from continuing by Euterpe who told us to take our seats.
"Now here is Annabeth and Percy!" she announced. Annabeth walked on stage holding a microphone, her blonde curls bouncing.
Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks, now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention,
At this point she shot an annoyed glance towards the gods' throne room. A couple of people laughed. I never knew Annabeth had it in her to sing such a romantic song. She was a pretty darn good singer too.
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some,
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait,
I'm yours
It was Percy's turn and he stumbled out, looking nervous, but the sight of Annabeth reassured him.
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and then you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment people, dance and sing
We're just one big family
Many people nodded at this point. We were all like second cousins or related somehow.
And it's our Zeus-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved
So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate, our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
D-d-do do you, but do you, d-d-do
But do you want to come on
Scooch on over closer dear
And I will nibble your ear
Annabeth started singing,
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed
Then Percy sang,
I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue
They meet in the middle of the stage and held hands, singing together.
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait,
I'm yours(I won't hesitate)
Annabeth sang in the background.
Open up your mind and see like me(No more, no more)
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours(It cannot wait, I'm sure)
So please don't, please don't, please don't(There's no need to complicate)
There's no need to complicate(Our time is short)
'Cause our time is short(This is our fate)
This is, this is, this is our fate
I'm yours
They finished together and the crowd gave them a mixture of "Awww's" and claps.
Percy looked at his shoes as he walked off and Annabeth was walking so fast it looked like she had a meeting with Zeus and he would zap her if she was late. Thunder rumbled.
Sorry Uncle Zeus, only messing.
Will Solace marched out next with a stool in his hand. He ran back to the sides and grabbed a guitar.
"This is for Nyssa," he said. Nyssa herself went brighter than any tomato I'd ever seen. I knew Nyssa and I knew she was going to kill Will later. He strummed a chord on the guitar and began.
Oh
Yeah
Mmmm
I'd wait on you forever and a day
Hand and foot
Your world is my world
Yeah
Ain't no way you're ever gon' get
Any less than you should
Cause baby,
You smile I smile
Cause whenever
You smile I smile
Hey hey hey
I couldn't believe it. Will. Singing. U Smile. To. Nyssa. I didn't even know they liked each other. However, it didn't look like Will was going to live for much longer as Nyssa looked ready to hop on the platform and beat him to death with the guitar he was holding.
Your lips, my biggest weakness
Shouldn't have let you know
I'm always gonna do what they say
Now I really feared for Will's life. Travis was close beside me and I could feel his arm touching mine. It was as if an electric current was running through my body. His sides were shaking and he was trying not to crack up.
If you need me
I'll come running
From a thousand miles away
When you smile I smile (oh whoa)
You smile I smile
Hey
Baby take my open heart and all it offers
Cause this is as unconditional as it'll ever get
You ain't seen nothing yet
I won't ever hesitate to give you more
Cause baby
You smile I smile (whoa)
You smile I smile
Hey hey hey
You smile I smileI smile I smile I smile
You smile I smileMake me smile baby
Baby you won't ever work for nothing
You are my ins and my means now
With you there's no in between
I'm all in
Cause my cards are on the table
And I'm willing and I'm able
But I fold to your wish
Cause it's my command
Hey hey hey
You smile I smile (whoa)
You smile I smile
Hey hey hey
You smile I smileI smile I smile I smile
You smile I smile
Oh
You smile I smile
You smile I smile
He finished with a grin in Nyssa's direction. She was in between killing him because of all the stuff he sang or kissing him because he sang it for her. She opted for kissing and now neither Travis nor I could stifle our laughter.
Thalia's POV
Nico was up next and I couldn't help but feel guilty. I saw the pain in his eyes when he agreed but I didn't know why. I still didn't know what he was singing. He trooped on to the platform and he looked miserable. My guilt increased and I tried to catch his eye but he was looking everywhere except where I was sitting.
The music started and I thought the beat was familiar.
Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps and I'm the only one and I walk alone
I felt a strange sensation in my stomach as I listened to him. He had a great voice, but he sounded so desperate and lonely that I wanted to jump up and comfort him.
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
He looked me straight in the eye and I realised what he meant. I shook my head.
'Til then I walk alone
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah,
Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone
Read between the lines
What's messed up when everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
Nico wouldn't look at me again as I tried to explain through my facial expressions. I can't be with him, I'm the Lieutenant of Artemis for Zeus' sake! But why did I still want to explain it to him, to show I stilled cared about him, but I couldn't in that way.
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah,
Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah
I walk alone
I walk a...
The guitar solo was playing and the crowd was cheering, though they sensed this was about more than just singing.
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone...
Nico stayed for the instrumental but before he could even hear the applause, he just left the platform and the amphitheatre. I went after him.
"Nico," I sad grabbing his arm.
"What?" he aid gruffly.
"I - You -" the truth was I didn't know what to say. I hadn't planned anything, I just had to go after him.
Then before I could do anything, Nico leaned forward and kissed me. His lips were soft and out of shock (that's what I told myself anyway) I kissed him back for a fraction of a second, then went rigid. He pulled back.
"Nico I -" I began but he interrupted me.
"I know Thals, but did you feel anything?" he asked. I had and I knew it, but I wasn't allowed and I had to lie to him. If I didn't, it would only hurt him more because I still couldn't be with him. I shook my head.
"Let's just pretend it never happened then," he said, his voice tight. Again the urge to comfort him came, but I resisted, I had to.
"I'm sorry," I replied, trying anything to replace that sad look in his eyes with it's normal mischievous glint.
"Forget about it," he said huskily, turning back towards the amphitheatre.
"Come on, we'd better get that clue," he continued.
I followed him silently. When we entered, Annabeth looked at me and immediately knew something had happened. She was pushing her way through the many demigods between her and I, holding Percy's hand and dragging him along too. Before she could reach me however, Euterpe called out,
"Get your clues here!" There was a surge in the crowd as everyone rushed to get a small piece of paper. I couldn't see Annabeth and Percy so I headed towards the clues. People cleared and I picked up a piece of paper. Nico appeared beside me and looked over my shoulder to read the clue. I sucked in a sharp breath. It was weird having Nico this close to me and for a split second I wanted to turn around and kiss him like he had kissed me earlier.
I cleared my thoughts, trying to focus. The clue read,
"Five men are going from a car into a church. It's pouring rain and none of them have raincoats or umbrellas. One manages to stay dry. How?
Try solve that punks,
Ares."
