Will Solace had to present a very big project to the entire school and one of his parents must be there to support him. Of course his mom, Naomi Solace, lived in Texas so she couldn't go.

Will panicked about this and didn't know how to get his father's attention.

"Austinnnnnn and Kaylaaaaaaa," Will moaned.

"Oh my gods Will. You're a senior counsellor, go ask the Athena cabin or Chiron or someone," Kayla complained.

"Ugh, fine."

Will walked to the Athena cabin, knowing that Annabeth would have some sort of plan. He knocked on the door and Malcolm opened it a few seconds later.

"Hey Will. What do you need?"

"I need help. So I need to present this really big project in front of my whole mortal school and Apollo needs to be there but I don't know how to get his attention," Will said.

"Ok, how about trying to write a poem or playing a really hard instrument or something," Malcolm suggested.

"Sure, okay thanks!" Will smiled as he walked back to the Apollo cabin.

A few days later, Will had mastered playing every single note and every single scale on the flute AND bassoon. Both instruments were very different so Will thought that would catch his father's attention.

The flute has no reed but a bass on uses a double reed. A flute is very skinny and light but a bassoon is very heavy and big. The flute produces very high pitched sounds but the bass on produces low pitched sounds. (Yes I am a band geek)

"Dear Lord Apollo,

Father I would like for you to consider going to be there to present my project with me. It is about doctorate and I've mastered the flute and bassoon within a few days. Please consider this, dad. I need one of my parents to be there to support me," Will prayed at dinner.

He went to sleep and woke up the next day to find a yellow button up shirt and light blue jeans lay out for him. He wore the clothes to school along with yellow Converse.

"Hello BFHS! My name is Will Solace and I'm here to present my project for health."

Will did his present and the principal went up. "And now, will Will's parent please come up?"

Will's smile faltered, he had very little hope that Apollo would show up. A moment of silence filled the auditorium and was cut by a door slamming open.

A man with army styled blond hair and blue eyes rushed in. "Um sorry, I'm late. I'm Will's dad."

Will's face turned into a big smile as Apollo walked up the stage.

They smiled as the audience clapped for them.

Afterward, Will talked to Apollo.

"You showed up!" Will said, excited.

"Yes, I did," Apollo answered, changing into his 17 year old form. Together, they walked into a coffee shop looking like brothers.

"Why did you show up?" Will asked.

"I heard you, you know, practising the flute and the bassoon. Although the bassoon could've been a bit better but it was good," He answered while winning at some girls at a different table.

"Thanks," Will hugged his dad and after they got their coffee, went to camp.
