A/N; Heylo! Dis is Amber! And no I'm not as grumpy as I am in the fanfiction. I promise! Actually Amber lightens up a little when...what's that little subconscious? Don't give them any spoilers? Okay! Sorry! But she isn't always grumpy, she has a reason for it too. I feel really guilty too, I don't even have a next chapter doc for my fanfiction, but I'm updating our group one. But this one was already written. Someone just had to post it. Oh yeah! Okay I seriouly couldn't think of a name for this chapter. I think it captures the main idea though...
Disclaimer; We do NOT own PJO. Or the song Fire N' Gold by Bea Miller. Buyt we do own the OCs, which is like everyone so far...But we don't own PJO or Fire 'N Gold

I watched Astrid walk off. A warm charisma flew off her in waves, She had long midnight black hair and beautiful blue eyes….. wait, beautiful?
I'm so messed up from this whole experience. But anyway, she wore a silver shirt with dark blue jean shorts (considering it was fall I was kind of confused but said nothing) and a jacket that held her daggers and that strapped her bow onto her back.
"She's is pretty…" I thought after she went off. The girl, Grace, looked at me funny with her intense gold eyes. "These girls are something else," I thought. Though
I had no idea how much more crazy this extraction would get.
2 weeks later
So we stayed in their house for two weeks and we got know them. Ast-, sorry Midnight she was really nice and was super ADHD and burned most of it out jumping on the trampoline and playing 12 instruments at once. I started to really like her for well... her. I also learned that Amber does not like people flirting with her, and Wally figured that out the hard way when she (literally) threw him out the window as soon as he called her "babe". So I knew to sleep on the opposite side of the room next to Wally when we were choosing spots for our sleeping bags. I also learned that Amber hates it when people follow her, which isn't an issue.
Another thing I learned was, Midnight loves singing. But whenever she's on the trampoline and she's singing, apparently I'm not allowed to listen because it could rupture my ear drums, make my eyes bleed, and cause heart failure if she sings too loud. Though when she sings normally it's amazing. So one time when she was following her regular schedule, singing on the rusty trampoline until Amber yelled at her for no reason, I figured 'This is my chance' so I walked over to her and said, "Hey can I listen to you sing?" She looked at me for a minute then said yes. I was thrilled until I heard her mutter, "Shut up!" I looked down sheepishly, "Sorry… I should go back in…" She raised her eyebrows until she realized what she said and then quickly said "No,no,no, that wasn't for you, that was for Grace she said "Don't kill him." and I said "Why would I, shut up." really sorry uh singing yeah," She said this all in one breath. Talk about antsy "Wait…" I said, "Grace is in the house… so how can you…" I asked.
"Hear her? She's telepathic."
"Who the what now?"
"Telepathic. Being able to communicate through thoughts."
"Right… anything else we should know about you guys? Like you 'forming earthquakes' by making a fist? Or controlling magical sunlight?"
"Actually yes, how'd you know?"
I just stared at her. Me and Wally had been trying to piece together who their parents were so we could get them to camp. Astrid seemed like an Apollo child and Amber like a daughter of Poseidon but Grace? Clueless. Well Wally did think she was a daughter of one of the Big Three Gods. But I shouldn't be thinking about that now, we need to gain their trust, so I should listen to her sing. No other reason than trust…. I thought. On a mission. Really need to stop thinking stuff since Grace's a telepath.
"So, umm what song do you want me to sing?" asked Astrid. I snapped back to reality."Uh...whatever song you want" I responded.
"Okay how 'bout one by Bea Miller?" she asked tentatively. She had a hopeful gleam in her deep blue eyes.
"Oh…. oh uh sure." I stuttered, before I could ask who that was.
She took a breath and sang,
"Like an astronaut that's scared of heights
With a heart that's beating at the speed of light
You've been waiting for this feeling all your life
Sometimes it's just hard to realize
When you're stuck in a moment
And your spark has been stolen
This is our time to own it
So own it
Baby we were born with
Fire 'n gold in our eyes, eyes
With fire 'n gold in our eyes, eyes
Got lightning in a bottle
Hands on the throttle
Even in the dust we shine
With fire 'n gold in our eyes, eyes
There is something different about you and I, 'bout you and I
And I feel like I have knew you my whole life
There is beauty behind every tear you've cried
Sometimes it's just hard to realize
When you're stuck in a moment
And your spark has been stolen
This is our time to own it
So own it
Baby we will born with
Fire 'n gold in our eyes, eyes
With fire 'n gold in our eyes, eyes
Got lightning a bottle
Hands on the throttle
Even in the dust we shine
With fire 'n gold in our eyes, eyes
There is love inside this madness
We are walking on the moon
Though I don't believe in magic
I believe in me and you
I believe in me and you
I believe in me and you
Baby we were born with
Fire 'n gold in our eyes, eyes
With fire 'n gold in our eyes, eyes
Got lightning a bottle
Hands on the throttle
Even in the dust we shine
With fire 'n gold in our eyes."
Stunned, I asked a couple seconds after I processed the song, "Wow, that was amazing! So can your singing really do all the stuff they said?" I asked
"Yes which comes in handy with monsters. Grace is pretty powerful too."
"What is it about Grace, I mean how powerful can she be?" She turned away looking like she wanted to say something, but catching herself.
"That's not for me to say."
"Does she scare you because we can just-"
"No! I won't let you! If you want her you have to take us too!"
"All demigods matter..." I started.
"You know, I think that's enough for today." She said coldly. As I felt the temperature drop. I thought only Hades kids could do that... maybe she's a Hades kid then I'd have a sibling. I quickly banished the thought of a sibling.
"What?"
"I'm saying that I think you have heard enough for today and you should leave before you get hurt."
I sighed. So, so, so, stupid. "Maybe Wally could get through to Grace..." I thought tentatively, " or make things worse." Miserable, I trekked inside to at least try to get someone on my side, until I heard Astrid scream. The monsters were here.
A/N; I LOVE FIRE N' GOLD! Love, love, love it! Listen to it! Very good. I'm done being hyper now. Well...as non-hyper as I can get, XD. I don't really know what to write here ... Oh I know! I hope to get system on updating and shtuff. I'll talk to Grace and Sunshine (aka Sunny, Midnight, or Astrid). Cuz right now the system is whoever-feels-like-updating-can-do-it. Not so efficent, eh? I hope to update soon. My POV is coming up next! I think... the next one is probably gonna be urm...lemme check. Be right back!
I hate putting stuff like this in the group's author's note cuz then I feel like I'm making this story an advertisement...But, people who read SmileABunch6396's fanfiction (mine, aka Amber) I hope to be updating soon, but first I have to write it. So it could take 1-2 weeks to get it up, with the editing process, and all that good shtuff.

I'm bakc!The next chap is gonna be Wally's POV. Oh and the window thing is an inside joke. I do have trouble with the logicistics of that though...I think Wally's shorter than me though..That might work. Whatever. The chapter after Wally is me though! I think you'll understand everyone a bit better after they get to CHB. Except maybe Grace. But than again, I don't even understand her right now. I think only Grace (the one who made her up) understands her.
Excuse the stinky grammar and shtuff. We're middle schoolers, we ain't got the best grammar skills.
Please review! We like to hear what you people think! Please and thankyou!
