Hello again! This is the last chapter of this story. I want to say thanks to everybody who has favorited, followed, or reviewed this story. Thanks!

Clarisse's POV

I will admit, I was kind of scared to go back to the arena to hear the results. Everybody kept saying that they were rooting for me, but I wasn't sure whether or not I wanted to be picked.

So I was walking down the the arena, talking to Chris and Katie about who they thought would be the finalists. They both thought me and Percy would definitely be finalists, but Katie thought Annabeth and Chris thought Piper. I guess we're about to find out.

We walked into the arena and sat by our friends. The rest of the campers walked in looking restless and excited. Then the gods walked in, their faces unreadable. Shoot. Annabeth looked disgruntled at this, too.

The gods sat down at their table and Apollo walked up to the stage with a sealed envelope. "Campers! Welcome back! Right now, we are about to learn who the top three finalists are. Does anybody care to guess?" He pointed to a girl named jessin from the Apollo cabin." I think that Clarisse, Annabeth and Percy will make it." Apollo nodded. "Very good! Anyone else?" He pointed to another girl, Rebekah, from the Demeter cabin. " I think that Jason, Clarisse and Hazel will make it." Apollo smiled. "Beautiful! Now, who wants to hear the actual finalists?" The arena was filled with deafening applause and cheering. " And the finalists are... Percy!... Clarisse!...'I groaned'... And... Annabeth!" Our friends pushed us up to the stage, while we just stood there, shocked. Did the gods honestly vote for us? Apparently.

Apollo's POV (Yeah, I'm doing a god's POV)

That was so exciting! And here come Annabeth, Percy and Clarisse. I whispered into each of their ears what song they were singing and the singing order. here goes nothing.

(Yeah, I know that was a really short POV, but hey, what are you gonna do about it?)

Percy's POV

I really, really, really, really, really, really, did NOT want to make it to the finals. but I had had this feeling in my gut that I was going to. And here I am now, about to listen to Clarisse sing her song. At least she and Annabeth were with me.

Clarisse walked up to the stage looking a little...pained. Did she realy not like the song she was singing? Or did she just really not want to be there? I had no idea. Girls are just so hard to read.

She announced her song, Good Girl by Carrie Underwood, and the music started playing.

Hey, good girl
With your head in the clouds
I bet you I can tell you
What you're thinkin' about
You'll see a good boy
Gonna give you the world
But he's gonna leave you cryin'
With your heart in the dirt

His lips are dropping honey
But he'll sting you like a bee
So lock up all your loving
Go and throw away the key

Hey good girl
Get out while you can
I know you think you got a good man

Why, why you gotta be so blind?
Won't you open your eyes?
It's just a matter of time 'till you find
He's no good, girl
No good for you
You better get to getting on your goodbye shoes and go, go, go...
Better listen to me
He's low, low, low...

Hey, good girl
You got a heart of gold
You want a white wedding
And a hand you can hold
Just like you should, girl
Like every good girl does
Want a fairytale ending, somebody to love

But he's really good at lying girl
Yeah, he'll leave you in the dust
'Cause when he says forever
Well, it don't mean much
Hey good girl
So good for him
Better back away honey
You don't know where he's been

Why, why you gotta be so blind?
Won't you open your eyes?
It's just a matter of time 'till you find
He's no good, girl
No good for you
You better get to getting on your goodbye shoes and go, go, go...
Yeah yeah yeah, he's low
Yeah yeah yeah

He's no good, girl
Why can't you see?
He'll take your heart and break it
Listen to me, yeah

Why, why you gotta be so blind?
Won't you open your eeeeyes?
It's just a matter of time 'till you find
He's no good, he's no good

Won't you open up your eyes?
It's just a matter of time 'till you find
He's no good, girl
He's no good for you
You better get to getting on your goodbye shoes

I realised which part of her past this was from. It was a little different from the actual story, but it explained why Clarisse finished the song with tears in her eyes. Her song had been about Luke tricking Silena into being a spy.

Annabeth's POV

I felt so bad for Clarisse. She had had to sing a song about her best friend, and it was all for a competition. It just wasn't fair.

It was Percy's turn next. You could literally tell that he was getting paler by the minute. And when he walked on stage, he was about as pale as Nico. And Nico's pretty pale. "Umm, hi again. I'm singing the song Pay Phone by Maroon 5. So yeah." His speech didn't change much. The music satrted playing and he started singing.

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change, I spent on you
Where have the times gone?
Baby, it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?

Yeah, I, I know it's hard to remember
The people we used to be...
It's even harder to picture
That you're not here next to me

You say it's too late to make it
But is it too late to try?
And in our time that you wasted
All of our bridges burned down

I've wasted my nights
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed
Still stuck in that time when we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise...

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change, I spent on you
Where have the times gone?
Baby, it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?

If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairy tales are full of it
One more stupid love song, I'll be sick

You turned your back on tomorrow
'Cause you forgot yesterday
I gave you my love to borrow
But you just gave it away

You can't expect me to be fine
I don't expect you to care
I know I said it before
But all of our bridges burned down

I've wasted my nights
You turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed
Still stuck in that time when we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise...

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change, I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby, it's all wrong
Where are the plans we made for two?

If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
All those fairy tales are full of it
One more stupid love song I'll be sick
Now I'm at a payphone...

I'm at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change, I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby, it's all wrong, where are the plans we made for two

If happy ever after did exist
I would still be holding you like this
And all these fairy tales are full of it
Yeah, one more stupid love song, I'll be sick
Now I'm at a payphone...

By the end of the song was smiling. He had certainly been at a pay phone trying to call home while he was in Alaska.

Clarisse's POV

Now it was princess's turn. She walked up to the stage, took the microphone from Apollo, and announced," I'm singing the osng Whispers by Anna Graceman." The music started and it sounded sort of like a sad song.

Sitting all alone, waiting for you my dear
Wishing, I was anywhere but here
Silence fill the air
Wishing,that I really didn't care
Voices surround me
Telling me something
That I'm nothing

Whispers fill my ears
My eyes are filled with salty tears
Why does the world feel so dead tonight
It feels like my heart and my mind are having a fight
Whispers

Watching you walk a way, then you disappear
My heart is filled with doubt a dream that's filled with fear
No one seems to see
I'm angry my mind's played trick on me
Voices surround me
Telling me ''give up''
Not good enough

Whispers fill my ears
My eyes are filled with salty tears
Why does the world feel so dead tonight
It feels like my heart and my mind are having a fight

Fallin' down a rabbit hole
Dark and scary Alice knows
I let those words run away with me
And they may set me free
But until then

Whispers fill my ears
My eyes are filled with salty tears
Why does the world feel so dead tonight
It feels like my heart and my mind are having a fight
Whispers

I looked around and saw that everyone had tears in their eyes. Yeah, it was sad, and yeah, I understood why she was singing that song and that was sad too, but I wasn't crying. Wimps.

Annabeth's POV

I wiped tears from my eyes as I walked down to my friends, and Apollo announced a break so that the gods could choose the winner. Percy walked up to me and gave me a hug. "I'm sorry," He whispered. "I'm never going to leave you again." I laughed and looked up into his green eyes. "You better not," I replied. "Otherwise, I'm going to find you, and whip your podex." We both started laughing and our friends around us that heard the conversation, laughed with us too.

Wea all walked down to the beach and flopped down onto the sand. Piper asked me, "Do you think you'll win?" Everybody turned to look at us, waiting for my answer. I sighed. " I honestly don't know. I'm not sure any of us want to, because I don't think any of us want to have to relive again what the song was for." Clarisse and Percy nodded. Suddenly, the conch shell sounded. We all got up and ran to the arena, nervous yet excited to hear who the winners were.

Thalia's POV

When Apollo walked up to the stage, I looked at the three finalists. They were all pale and looked terrified.

Apollo smiled at the crowd. "Hello again campers! In my hand I have the names and places of the three finalists. Who wants to hear them?" the crowd was literally deafening. I was now having trouble hearing Apollo. Okay, nevermind, my hearing's back. "And the third place winner is... Percy!" We all clapped. "The second place winner is ... Clarisse!" We all clapped again. That could only mean one thing... "And the first place winner is... ANNABETH CHASE!" We all stood up and clapped for her. She looked really surprised at winning this.

Nico and I grinned evilly at each other. We gave our friends the signal and shouted,"The winners need to cool off!" So we carried them down to the canoe lake, dumped them in, and ran for our lives.

Hi! I guess I'm done with this story. It was really fun writing it though! Thanks again to everybody!
