Author's note: I don't own any of the characters or any of the songs. I was reading similar stories and decided to take a stab at it. Let me know what you think. Updates on my other stories will be up by Sunday. I want reviews for this story. This is AU. Thalia and Jason are twins. They and Nico are 15. Percy is 16. Nobody whose name we know died. Zoe is still lieutenant and respects Percy.
If anyone has any song suggestions, PM me with the name, artist, and a link to a youtube video or something.
Chapter Two
The gods weren't sure what to expect when they flashed down to Camp Half Blood. They loved their children, no one could deny that. They just didn't know how to act like parents. So, when they were mobbed the second the light faded, they were pleasantly surprised. Apollo grinned and went with it, laughing and staggering under the weight of his kids. Athena's children were a little more reserved, but there was a definite delight in their expressions.
The reactions differed for each god and their children, but it wasn't long before they all noticed the Big Three looking around curiously, unable to find their children. Poseidon was the one to ask, "Has anyone seen Percy and the others?" Annabeth was the one to answer, "I'm not sure, sir. Maybe you should check the beach. That tends to be where he goes to think. The others might be there as well."
Poseidon nodded and he and his brothers moved off towards the beach and hopefully their children. The rest of the camp watched them leave. They were quiet as they walked, thinking about the ultimatum they had been given before they left. They were to actually bond or, so help Hera, something bad would happen. They were going to use their children's friendship to help them. With the war over and Kronos defeated, at Percy's hand, they were relaxed for the first time in years.
Plus, Zeus was even considering throwing out some of the ancient laws, allowing the gods to actually spend more time with their kids. Hades was the first to notice the cousins sitting on the sand. He nudged Poseidon who nudged Zeus and the brothers walked over, sitting down next to them.
Poseidon noticed the yellow paper in Percy's hand and asked, "What's that you're holding son?" Percy's eyes were starting to return from their glazed state as he looked at his father. He handed Poseidon the paper. The god of the Seas' eyes widened and disbelief was evident. Wordlessly, he handed the paper to his brothers and their reaction was much the same as his.
Zeus looked at the children and asked, "Who thought this up?" Jason once again supplied the answer. They seven exchanged looks coming to an agreement. The four demigods ran after their fathers, ready to confront the source of their current predicament.
The campers and their parents were sitting in the dining pavilion talking when the Big Three and their children burst in not looking happy at all. The brothers turned and locked onto Aphrodite and Apollo before holding up the sheet and asking, in unison I might add, "What is the meaning of this?"
Athena stood up and took the flyer from her father before she too wore an expression similar to her fathers and uncle. As more flyers were produced for the other gods to read, things began to get worse and worse. Finally, Aphrodite got mad. Her appearance changed and everyone shut up because, let me tell you, she looked scary.
"I wanted us to have something fun to do together this summer. We've never seen our kids for longer than a few minutes at a time before. I couldn't think what so Apollo suggested the showcase. People will sign up for it and if I have to I will beat you senseless until you sign up. The rule is at least half of the gods have to sing, there will be some camp wide numbers and at least one person has to sing from the 13 council cabins. Now, there's a sign up sheet posted right over there," here she pointed, "show starts tomorrow. I want to see Thalia, Jason, Nico, Piper, Annabeth, and Percy over here. You'll be singing first. NO ARGUING!"
The campers and gods didn't bother arguing. They all made tracks out of there, leaving the six named demigods behind. The cousins vowed to get revenge on their fathers before reluctantly walking closer to Aphrodite. She had resumed her normal flickering between appearances thing and now sat down at her table, waiting for them to step closer.
Once they had gathered in a semi circle around her, she beamed and said, "Excellent! So, I've already decided what song you'll be singing. You'll be singing ….."
