So hi! This is gonna be about the song, but everyone's the age they are in the books! This takes place in The Lightning Thief so most are like 12 (which I think makes this funnier!).
--------------------------------------------------------------
Percy's POV:
"Will, if you may please start." Luke smiled at a blonde kid with a guitar.
"Sure Luke! Which one?"
"The Campfire Song."
"Ohh!" A few other kids mumbled, walking over to the fire.
(And this is where it starts; I'll italicized the lyrics, some are spoken; if it's not italicized, it's not in the song!)
"Come on, grab some ambrosia, and let the nectar flow." Luke smiled, and led me to the fire.
"Why is everyone scraping part of their plate into the fire? Is the food here really that bad?" I frowned, looking at my plate. It actually looked pretty good.
"Offering to the gods. It's not enough that their omnipotent and all-powerful, they need to feel appreciated. To the gods!" Luke cheered in a sarcastic tone.
"To the gods!" Everyone cheered just as sarcastic.
"Oh, things couldn't be worse
When your parents run the universe" Luke sang.
"Oh, things couldn't be worse
When your folks run the universe" Everyone sang too. I started to eat my food. It was so good, way better than the school lunches I usually get.
"My dad is Hermes
He messengers things
You'll know his sign by his shoes with those wings
I'd wait by the phone, but the phone never rings
Oh no" Luke sang.
The others made noises of agreement.
"When your dad's a god, life can be tough
I met the guy once, and once was enough"
The blond girl from earlier raised her hand.
"Annabeth?"
She walked up to the stage and started to sing.
"My mom's Athena
She's smart and she's wise
She's sworn off gluten and she's sworn off guys
But if she came to camp, it'd be a surprise
Oh no"
"Oh no" Luke and the Katie girl sang back up. I thought it was kinda funny.
"Oh, and my stepmom, she hates me, and my dad works all day
So I left Virginia and I ran away"
"Wait, is that true?" I asked.
"Everybody!" Luke said.
"Oh, things couldn't be worse
When your parents run the universe
Oh, things couldn't be worse
When your folks run the universe"
"Alright, who's next?" Luke asked.
Katie ran onto the stage.
"Oh! Okay, let me see...
My mom's Demeter
Goddess of grain
She gets excited when it starts to rain
But planting and planting and planting's a pain
Oh no"
"Oh no" Everyone sang back up, even me. Though, I was quieter.
"Right?
For their sixteenth birthday, my friends got a car
I got a fern in some dumb mason jar"
Grover ran on stage too.
"Ooh, ooh! My turn!
I'm a child of Pan
God of the wild
For those who love nature, they're often beguiled
He's not really my dad, but I'm sort of his child...
Oh no..."
"Oh no"
"He went for a hike to explore new frontiers
And no one has seen him for thousands of years"
Grover started to cry and a few nymphs started to comfort him.
"Oh, things couldn't be worse
When your parents run the universe
Oh, things couldn't be worse
When your folks run the universe"
"Chiron! Who's your dad?" I asked.
"Oh, well
My father is Kronos
Remember my lecture
He ate his children"
We were all quiet for a second, even the music stopped.
"Chiron wins" Luke laughed.
We all nodded.
"How about you Silena?" Luke asked. Silent got on stage.
"The goddess of love
My mom's Aphrodite
She tries to be cool but mainly she's flighty
I'll bring home a boy, and she's there in her nightie"
"Oh no!" We all said.
"It's so embarrassing, guys!
I tried to seek help from even the fates
Cause she steals my mascara and all of my dates"
"Alright Percy, it's your turn" Luke said, and took me to the stage.
"If I tried to sing, it'll probably cause an avalanche" I joked and tried to leave, but Luke stopped me.
"Oh, we're all friends here. Come on, give it a shot" Luke gave me a smile.
I looked into the crowd and sighed.
"My mom was named Sally
She loved scary movies
And food that was blue
And-"
"He's doing it wrong" One girl shouted.
"Yeah, who's your godly parent?" Another asked.
"Oh... I don't know" I blushed a bit, embarrassed.
"It's alright A lot of half-bloods never know their godly parent. Just give it a try" Luke said quietly. I nodded.
"So my dad is some god
That's great I guess...
Did he not want me? Or not want the stress?
Too bad he's the worst, and my life is a mess. Oh no"
Everyone cheered, making me smile.
"I hope he shows even a trace
Cause I got some choice words to throw in his face!" Everyone cheered more.
"Percy you're like 12." Luke frowned.
"And?" I asked. The campfire was quiet.
"...Good point. Onto the song!"
"Oh, things couldn't be worse
When your parents run the universe
Oh, things couldn't be worse" The camp sang.
"But I don't care where our parents may be
As long as you are here with me" Luke sang.
"We don't care where our parents may be
As long as you are here with me
As long as you are here with me!" We all sang.
I looked around at all the other campers with a big smile on my face. 'I think...I think I'm gonna like it here!' I thought proudly.
