I still don't own anything

Walking up the steps to the stage was scary. That's what Calypso felt. She never been on a stage before, or been surrounded by a crowd of demi-gods who were cheering her on.

But Leo was there with her. They were playing a duet. How long Calypso and Leo were practicing? Probably the whole of last night. Calypso breathed in then out as she reached the top step."Come on Cal, you can do this, the crowd will love you." Leo says slipping his hand into hers.

Calypso blushed and walked to a microphone. Leo came up beside her and tapped the other,"testing 103, testing 103." A loud buzz came out of the speakers, making the crowd cover their ears.

"Sorry folks, just testing." He says sheepishly.

Apollo looked annoyed but says,"What will you be doing for us right now?" Before Leo could say anything, Calypso spoke," Only us by Dear Evan Henson." Apollo nodded and music started playing.

I don't own anything.

Calypso:

I I don't need you to sell me
on reasons to want you
I don't need you to search for the proof that I should

You don't have to convince me
You don't have to be scared you're not enough
'Cause what we've got going is good

I don't need more reminders
Of all that's been broken
I don't need you to fix what I'd rather forget

Clear the slate and start over
Try to quiet the noise in your head
We can't compete with all that

So what if it's us
What if it's us
And only us
And what came before won't count anymore on matter
Can we try that?

Well if it's you
what if it's me
And what that's all that we need to be.
And the rest of the world Falls away

What do you say?

Leo:

I never thought there'd be someone like you
Who would want me
So I give you ten thousand reasons to not let me go
But if you really see me,
If you like me for me and nothing else
well, that's all that I wanted
For longer than you could possibly know

So it can be us
It can be us and only us
And what came before won't count anymore, or matter

We can try that

Both:

It's not so impossible

Leo:

Nobody else but the two of us here

Both:

'cause you're saying it's possible

Calypso:

We can just watch the whole world disappear

Both:

'Til  you're the only one I still know how to see

Leo:

It's just you and me

Both:

(Chorus)

You and me
That's all that we needed to be
And the rest of the world Falls away
And the rest of the world Falls away

The world Falls away (X2)

And it's only us

When they finished the crowd clapped and cheered. Calypso and Leo bowed and power walked off the stage. "Who's next?" Apollo asked.

Sorry for not updating. I'm busy working on Heroes Unite (pjo crossover). Yet, YAy! I finished a chapter.
