I am finally an official writer. I have found what Pandora's Jar has given us: the cursed Writers Block. Wow... That was actually pretty fun to type up! But seriously. I had no idea what to write.
This chapter, in my standards, took a while. For you, it might've been like, two minutes. But I have died three times while writing this, s I really hope that you I hit it. You might be able to tell where I got The Block, so you can go ahead and guess in the comments if you want.
The story is finally picking up! Once I'm done, I'm going to edit this to make it much less choppy, if you know what I mean. It should help with the flow and make it much easier to read. Thanks for reading!
Check out Calefe's stories! They're awesome!
Thanks to last chapters reviewers: Florence23, Calefe, Seaweedgirl1117, and WiseGirlGeek! You're all amazhang (yes, I did mean to include that pun. I'm so PUNNY!)!
Now, in with the chapter!
They finished the song, and Piper was tired. How was it that Percy, Nico, and Thalia were able to do this for a living? It seemed almost impossible!
"That's a pretty good song! O bet that Annabeth will love it!" She commented.
"I really hope so." Percy, for once in his life, was nervous. He didn't get nervous around anything; news reporters, screaming fans, and more, but the second that he sees his crush (Annabeth), he loses all dignity and brain cells (though Annabeth would argue that he didn't have much to lose, in the matter of brain cells).
"It is, Perce. Trust me." Thalia patted his back for a few seconds. Percy smiled ever so slightly. "How should we get there? I don't think that we'd want to have lots of screaming fans and everything yelling about 'how awesome we are' and wanting our autographs. That will most certainly attract Annabeth."
"Well," Piper reasoned. "Get there and wait in the car. I'll call you about two minutes before you enter, and I'll have Annabeth and Jason with me so that we can distract her from who goes into the room. Sound like a plan?"
"Yeah."
"It does."
"Sure, I guess."
"Are you ready for this? I know that I am! Tomorrow night is the dance, so that's when you'll be performing and singing your song. I'll bribe the DJ so that he'll play the track to your music. Deal? You're going to have to pay me."
"Okay." Percy responded. "Deal. How much do you need?"
"About... Twenty to fifty dollars should be good."
Percy gave her a hundred. "Just keep the change." He told Piper, who's eyes were wide.
"Okay then..." She carefully slipped the cash into her wallet, which she slowly put inside of her purse. "Let's get some sleep for now."
"Sleep sounds amazing. I'll drive you to your place." Percy started standing up, and Piper reluctantly let him.
Once they were in the car, an uncomfortable silence enraptured them, flooding the room like poisonous gas.
"So..." Percy stated.
"So..." Piper added. "This is awkward."
"Yes, yes it is."
More silence.
"Percy?"
"Yeah?"
"How are you able to do that so often?"
"We usually hire a song writer, but for the past few albums we've decided to try to write our own stuff. It makes us feel less copyrighted, if you know what I mean. Why?"
"It was hard work."
"That it is."
More silence.
"Piper?"
"Yeah?"
"Why is this conversation so weird?"
"I have no idea, if you know what I mean. Why?"
"You're just copying what I said earlier, aren't you."
"Not technically, Perce." Piper smirked. "Not technically."
The night of the concert was a little chaotic.
Of course, all of them got there on time. Jason was earliest, not wanting to miss out on his older sisters performance, with Hazel right behind him and the rest following her. They all got to go backstage and see Percy, Nico, and Thalia (which everyone was happy about), until finally relenting and having to sit down in their front row seats, waiting for the concert to start.
"Hello New York!" Percy yelled, as soon as he and his two famous cousins were situated on the stage. He was met with screams from adoring fans. "How have you been today?" More screaming. "Awesome! So, these first two songs is going to be sung by the one and only Thalia Grace!" Percy announced. Fans screamed (even more) as Thalia adjusted the microphone attached to her ear.
"Perce, the one after that will be sung by you. Don't forget that!" She mocked. Percy smirked.
"Got it, PF."
Thalia glared. Then they continued with the concert like nothing childish was happening. Jason laughed, getting weird looks from some fans that didn't know TB3 personally.
"Okay! This song is called Hello." Thalia grinned.
Then she started singing a song that Jason had never heard before. And it was amazing.
(Normal is Thalia)
"Hello, it's me
I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet
To go over everything
They say that time's supposed to heal ya
But I ain't done much healing
Hello, can you hear me
I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be
When we were younger and free
I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet
There's such a difference between us
And a million miles
Hello from the other side
I must have called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
Hello, how are you
It's so typical of me to talk about myself I'm sorry
I hope that you're well
Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened
It's no secret that the both of us
Are running out of time
So hello from the other side (other side)
I must have called a thousand times (thousand times)
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside (outside)
At least I can say that I've tried (I've tried)
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
(Highs highs highs highs
Lows lows lows lows)
Anymore
Hello from the other side (other side)
I must have called a thousand times (thousand times)
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside (outside)
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
(Hello by Adele)
The applause lasted for minutes, and Thalia stuck her younger out at her older cousin. He just grinned at her.
"The next song," Perce said once the applause had gone down. "Is going to be sung by me. It's called Uptown Funk!"
(Normal is Percy)
"This hit, that ice cold
Michelle Pfeiffer, that white gold
This one for them hood girls
Them good girls straight masterpieces
Stylin', whilen, livin' it up in the city

(Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson)
They sung many more songs (Nico even got to do a few) before the concert ended. When it did, they had to sign autographs, hop in their limo, and leave without even a goodbye to or from their friends.
"Well, they are pretty busy." Leo said, voice sounded slightly hurt. "We can't blame them."
And the day after that, it was the dance.
It hadn't exactly gone as planned, though. Even Jason, who was t in on the plan, had known that much.
Over two thousand words for you! If better get used to writing chapters this long. It's definitely better than the one thousand worded state that I'm in right now.
So, I still have that poll in my profile. Many thanks to anyone and everyone who voted on it! Currently, Blood of Olympus Continued is winning with Girls Day right behind it. If you want one of those other options, please go ahead and vote! It would mean so much!
I'd prefer it if you voted on the actual poll instead of in reviews because it's much easier to keep track of, but whatever suits you guys best! I won't be picky!
Do you think that we could make it up to 100 reviews? 100th reviewer gets a Percy Jackson or Harry Potter one shot given to them! The winner can just tell me what they want the one shot to be about, and I'll write it (please no Percico, Jasico, or anything like that. Canon couples, but I guess that I can do some Thalico, Leyna, Nico/Reyna, one sided Leo/Thalia, Liper, and that stuff. I will do Solangelo, if you're wondering. Just nothing else, please!)! Doesn't that sound awesome? Sorry guests, but the winner has to be a person with an account. Otherwise, I won't be able to contact you for your one shot.
Thank you so much! Remember to check out Calefe's work (like I told you at the top of the chapter.)! This has been really long. Might as well end it now.
