Hi readers! How are you? I'm doing pretty good. So, I'm not going to talk... well, type much. Without further ado, here is Chapter 8 of K&H. The name of this chapter is a hint about one of the people who will be joining K&H.
Hint: Green hair (Not Jacksepticeye)
Chapter 8 - Press Start To Begin The Tour
Percy's P.O.V.
Percy was happy that Jason was walking around now. However, they had to give a concert the next day. They had a pretty long set list for the concerts. It would take about two hours, split into two halves. Half one would be some of their older songs, and the second half would contain songs that haven't been released yet (and a surprise for the fans). The concert would go like this:
Half One
Courtesy Call (Thousand Foot Krutch)
Savior (Rise Against)
It's Been Awhile (Staind)
Fallen Angel (Three Days Grace)
Hear Me Now (Hollywood Undead)
Time Is Running Out (Muse)
The World I Used To Know (We Came As Romans)
Second Chance (Shinedown)
We're At The Top Of the World (The Juliana Theory)
Pet (A Perfect Circle)
This Is How It Goes (Billy Talent)
Scars (Papa Roach)
Welcome To My Life (Simple Plan)
International You Day (No Use For A Name)
Half Two
Born for Greatness (Papa Roach)
Face Everything And Rise (Papa Roach)
Cold Like War (We Came As Romans)
On My Own (Ashes Remain)
Cry of Achilles (Alter Bridge)
Saviors of the World (Skillet)
Broken Dreams (Shaman's Harvest)
21 Guns (Green Day)
Revolution (The Score)
Mystery of You (Red)
Enemies (Shinedown)
How Far We've Come (Matchbox Twenty)
Encore
Indestructible (Disturbed)
40 (U2) [COVER]
NOTE: This list is no longer accurate. The accurate and up to date list is located before Chapter 1.
Percy and his friends had quite a lot of songs to practice. The hardest were going to be "This Is How It Goes" and "Cry of Achilles." They both had complex intros, paired with the fact that this would be the first live performance of both songs. Nico also had to practice his vocals, since he was gonna lead some of the songs. Jason was pretty well off (except for his injury).
Nico's P.O.V.
Nico had been waiting for around 45 minutes for his food. In that time, he had witnessed a couple break up, saw a man get arrested, and made a triangle out of his napkin.
When his food arrived, he thanked the waiter, and began eating. The steak was a little over cooked, but it was still very good. The mashed potato had just the right amount of salt and pepper in it, and the string beans were cooked to perfection.
After he had finished eating, he decided to go check and see how Jason was doing. When he arrived at Jason's room, he knocked on the door. Piper answered the door. Even though it was evident that she had just woken up, she still looked stunning.
"Hi, Nico. Do you want me to get Jason?" Piper asked.
"Yeah." Nico replied.
"Ok. JASON! PUT YOUR PANTS ON! NICO WANTS TO TALK!" Piper shouted into the room.
Jason appeared a few seconds later. He was wearing a Nike T-shirt and some joggers. His injuries were mostly healed, it looked like. He had a slight limp, but you would only notice if you were paying close attention.
"Hey, Nico. You've come to check on me, I'm guessing?" Jason stated.
"Yup. I'm wondering if you feel like you are ready for the concert tomorrow."
"Well, Piper has been helping me out. Making soup, reapplying my bandages, stuff like that. So, if I don't go off and hurt myself, I think I'm ready." Jason
"That's good. I'll tell Percy." Nico said. With that said, he left his cousin's room.
Jason's P.O.V.
After Nico left, Jason went back to his bed. It was calling his name, and he happily obliged.
After a few minutes of staring at the ceiling, Jason's ADHD got the better of him, and he got up and started walking around the hotel. He ended up finding himself in the workout room. Not one to skip an opportunity to get better, Jason walked into the room and observed his choices.
There were treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, dumbbells, a leg press, a cable machine, and some other machines I'm too lazy to look up the name of. Jason started out with some "light" - 50 pounds - lifting. Eventually, he went on to other machines. That was, until Percy walked.
"Dude. It's 10:33. You should get some sleep." The son of Poseidon said
"NO! SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK!" Jason shouted.
"Ok. This is for your own good." After saying that, Percy did something he thought he would never do: he walked over and tickled Jason. Jason gave in, and started laughing uncontrollably. Then, Nico walked into the room.
"And I thought I was the gay one." He said while laughing.
"It's not what it looks like. I swear." Percy retaliated.
"Yeah. I was working out, and Percy came in here to tell me to go to sleep." The son of Jupiter added.
"You know what? I don't care. Just, wake me up when we have to get on the bus." Nico said. He then walked out of the room, and towards a waiting elevator.
"I'm gonna get some sleep, too." Percy said, joining his cousin in the elevator. Sighing, Jason followed suit.
The elevator door closed, and an awkward silence ensued. When the carriage stopped, the three demigods all went to their respective rooms. Jason went back to his room, and he went to bed. For real, this time.
The Next Day
Percy's P.O.V.
Percy woke up, and he looked at the clock next to his bed. It read 8:23 AM. "Schist!" Percy shouted. He quickly threw on some clothes, and ran out the door and over to Nico's room. "Nico! Wake up! We have to get on the bus!"
Percy heard a noise that sounded like Nico falling out of bed, followed by him screaming out a few vulgar words. (Not going to actually say any bad words in this story to keep it PG) A few seconds later, Nico opened the door. He looked like he hadn't got a blink of sleep. He had bags under his eyes, and a scowl was plastered on his son of Hades looked mad as, well, Hades.
Nico let out a long moan of annoyance, and then said, "Do I really have to do this? I'M TIIIIIRRREEEEDDDD!"
"Yes, we do. Now stop being a pouty puss, and help me load the bus." Percy said.
"Can't Jason do all of this stuff? I wanna take a nap." Nico suggested.
"We all have to do our part. Jason already put the drums on the bus. Now you have to help out."
"UUUGGGGHHH!" Nico moaned. "Fine. If I have to."
"Thank you. You already have your stuff on the bus, right?"
"Yeah."
"Ok then. That leaves my stuff and whatever Jason has left to pack."
"Let's just get this over with."
With that, Nico let out one more annoyed groan, and continued loading the bus.
Andy's P.O.V.
(Remember him?)
Andy was on his computer, when he heard a familiar voice call from his house's entrance.
"Yo! Andy! I gotta tell you something!" Nate called from the kitchen? Living room?
"What? I'm writing." Andy walked out of his office, and looked for his friend. He found him in the kitchen, eating a bowl of cereal.
"How have you already managed to raid my food?" Andy questioned.
"A magician never reveals his secrets." Nate replied, chuckling. He put down his spoon.
"That doesn't answer why you're here."
"Ok. So, you know how we," Nate pointed at himself and his friend, "are going to 'crash' the concert?"
"Yeah. So what?"
"Well, I talked with Nico, and we came up with an idea."
Nate began to tell him the plan. Kids and Heroes would start playing a certain song, and then they would introduce either Nate or Andy. It would be a great gift for the fans (If they knew who they were, that is). The plan was quite simple when you think about it. All they had to do was plan out when who would come on stage, and what song would be playing.
Nothing could go wrong. Right?
Guys! The book hit 500 views! We are halfway to 1K! Hey, that rhymes. Kinda. Meh, a rhyme is a rhyme. Thank you all so so so so so so so SOOOOOOOOO much!
I would like to say that the set list in Percy's P.O.V. is going to change for every concert. That list is only for the first concert.

AFTERTHOUGHT
I completely forgot to do a QOTD.
Q: What is your favorite scene from this book?
A: Well, my favorite part to write (for this chapter) was the gym scene with Jason, Percy, and Nico.
