Will's POV

I was finally feeling like today was going to be a great day. There was nobody in the infirmary, Nico left a few days ago, and the war was over. I could finally take a break. There was a certain son of Hades that I needed cheer up.

I was almost out the door when I heard Chiron come in behind me.

"Will!" He exclaimed, "Where are you going?"

I turned around, feeling as guilty as ever, and answered, "Well, there's no one here so I thought that I can take those days off that I deserve."

Chiron laughed, which made me nervous. "If you don't mind, I want to have you work on a special project." He told me.

At first I was tempted to say yes. Even though for years I had been ignored, ever since the war against the Romans turned into a war against Gaea, suddenly, something changed and I was Mr. Popular. Might of been those Aphrodite girls just spreading rumors.

"Sure I guess." I answered, "Depends on what it is."

Chiron smiled, "Well, ever since the Seven got back, I feel like their needs to be some sort of extra activity. Nothing to do with fighting, but more like an after school activity."

I knew where this was going."And you were thinking we could do some sort of musical to put on for the rest of the camp." I added, being completely sarcastic at the time. Boy, was I in for it.

All Chiron did was nod, as if he was pleased that I understood.

My eyes widened, "Are you serious! No one here but the Apollo campers have any musical talent."I yelled at him. He scowled at me, but I didn't notice because I kept rambling on, "I know for a fact that this will end badly if we have have just any one audition."

Chiron put his head in his hand and sighed, "You're not seeing the point here Mr. Solace. This will be a good way for the camps to bond, maybe even discover some hidden talent."

I still wasn't on board with the idea, but after a while I agreed.

"Can I at least get some help?" I asked, knowing what could happen if i chose wrong.

He nodded and then told me, "But I do have a preference, though. Do something with Disney's Frozen." I started to cringe. Such a well know thing like Frozen was going to be hard to do. If I did it right then I would be a hit. If I did it wrong, well, the Apollo cabin isn't one for having "nice" punishments, no matter what anybody else says.

I nodded, trying to seem excited, and walked out the door. But since today is my bad luck day, I ran into a person that was coming in.

"Sorry Will!" she said after I ran into her.

"No prob." I manged to say back with sounding like a complete fool.

At first, when I saw the girl she looked filmier, but then I realized it was my sister Megan. Megan was usually mistaken for Annabeth, but since she has brown eyes and straight hair, once she turned around everyone could see the difference.

"I was going to take over for your shift... but I'm guessing there isn't anyone there." she said, mummbling that last part.

"Yeah." I muttered. I was going to walk away when something hit me. I remember Megan saying something about her being in multiple types of musical productions. I turned back around to face her and ask, "So, by any chance do you want to work on a special project for Chrion with me?"

She smiled and nodded, "I would love to... but what is it?"

"He wants us to do a Frozen thing."

"Do you think we can add our own twist?"

"I think so, why?"

Even for a daughter of Apollo, her smile was bright as I told her that. "Reasons." she answered. I wasn't going to get much of an answer out of her.

"Well, cause you're in such a hurry to get started, I'll go make sign up sheets and you can throw an orcastra together." she commanded, as she walked back to the cabin.

I smiled. This was going to be fun.

---------------------------------------------

It had seemed to take forever to find people who played instruments that weren't reed pipes. Some of my siblings were willing to help, but even with them, we might be behind.

Megan was sitting on her bunk, staring down at some type of screen.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

She looked up, looking somewhat startled. "Oh, I'm just waiting for an email from a friend at Camp Jupiter. She's giving me some updates on the sign up sheet there." she answered in a hurry.

"I'll go check on the one here, then." I muttered to myself. Since she didn't answer me, I rolled my eyes and headed out to where I had put the first sign up sheet.

By the time I got there, I thought I made a mistake. A bunch of demigods were lined up which got me confused. Since when was dramatic arts so popular? Can't believe I made myself sound even more like a dork.

I walked up to the front of the line to see the list. When I saw the first few names, I realized why it had become so popular. In order, here were the first three names:

Piper McLean

Jason Grace

Nico di Angelo

Looking down the rest of the list, I saw the names of the rest of the seven. I was smiling internally. Nico was one of the first people to sign up. I wasn't sure if whether it was because he wanted to try something new or he knew that I was the one in charge.

I ran back as fast as I could to the Apollo cabin. I couldn't wait to tell Megan the good news. Once I was there, I could see that Megan had some good news as well.

"Well?" she asked, excitedly.

I took a deep breath, so that I would stay cool. Then I screamed, "Basically the whole camp is signing up!" We could not have been any happier. Jumping up and down, holding hands like in those really girly movies. It was a new all time low for me.

A ding went off in the background and Megan screamed.

I covered my ears, "What was that for?" I asked.

She hopped on to her bunk and picked up her Kindle. After a while of silence, she made a high pitch noise, kind of like a squeel.

"Oh my gods! We even have some sign ups from Camp Jupiter!" she screamed. I hoped that no one was hearing this.

"What do we do now?" Megan asked. I really had no idea. I really hadn't gotten that far in the plan. Mostly because I thought we wouldn't get this far.

But no way was I going to let that bother me. "Now," I started, "we book the Amphitheater for the auditions and maybe some our siblings can help with the music."

Megan smiled. She nodded and proceeded to email her friend at Camp Jupiter back.

Maybe this would turn out a lot better than I thought it would.
