I needed to find out more about these girls, there was something special about them. I set you up. Sorry Alex, sorry Shera. But not really.

I dragged them to the empty amphitheater while everyone else was eating dinner. I also brought over a daughter of Apollo. "Guys, meet-" "Sarah Kingly!" Shera yelled. "Long time no see!" said Alex. "Um. Ok!" I said, and told them what was up. I paid the fee for the thirty drachma Iris-message, and made sure the curtains were closed and Piper was ready to announce. I made them eat backstage, because I hadn't told them what they would be doing (aside from Sarah) and Alex insisted she couldn't do anything on an empty stomach. "Wait, I won't have to sing, will I? Or dance?!" Alex gave me a look that told me if I made her do either of those things she would die from fear and then come back from the dead and kill me. "No, that's Sarah's job!" I said. Alex eyed me warily, but agreed to continue on with it. I had the Apollo kids announce that instead of a campfire sing-along, we would be blessed with a performance. You see, I could tell these girls had some musical training. It was more than obvious that Alex played the drums, and Shera must have played the keyboard at some point. So I got ready to give Iris the command to begin playing the music video, and Piper let her charmspeak ring out in "Hello everybody! Tonight we have an extra special performance by Alex Rairten, Shera Henry, and Sarah Kingly in I Bet My Life by Imagine Dragons! Let's give them a round of applause!" Of course they clapped. It was Piper. And then, the show began. As the curtains parted, the light next to the prism projecting the rainbow turned on, playing the music video for I Bet My Life. For a few seconds, nothing happened except Sarah singing. Then, when the music got to the loud, exciting part, the reaction I was hoping for happened. A glowing, blue, transparent drum set appeared in front of Alex. For a second, she did nothing, staring at the crowd in shock. Then she lifted her glowing blue drumsticks up, waved them in the air, yelled "HELLO CAMP HALF BLOOD!!!" and began pounding on the bass drum. At that point, however, Shera was already playing her purple electric keyboard, using it to enhance and add other sounds, and well, just playing it. When the song ended, the audience exploded in applause. When the clapping began to die down, Alex was still waving her sticks in the air, and all of a sudden, a large blue trident appeared over the heads of both Alex and Shera. Percy looked like he was going to faint. Alex and Shera were jumping-up-and-down happy. Literally. They were jumping up and down.

Notes

Just BTW, I will never break you down to tears, or give you hell through all the years. If you look up I Bet My Life you would understand!
