The next day was hot and sunny in New Your City. Everyone met at Camp Half Blood to get the tickets. They tried to get information out of Chiron, like why he was telling them all to go to a concert on such short notice. But he wouldn't say anything, just that they would find out soon. No one knew what to think of that, so they just tried to put his cryptic message out of their minds and enjoy the day.

"So who's excited to see a concert in front row seats?" Leo asked, bouncing up and down. Adulthood didn't lesson his energy.

"It's not front row seats Leo, it's just near the front." Jason explained.

"Yeah, but it's still close to the front. I've never been to a concert before. Have you guys?" Leo asked.

Everyone but Piper shook their heads. They all turned to her, minus Frank, who was driving.

"My dad and I once went to a concert together when I was about 14. It was really fun, but we didn't get anywhere close to the front." She explained. She didn't remember who played, just that it was some pop show. One of the ones that they constantly play on the radio.

"Well, looks like it's a first for everyone. This is gonna be awesome?" Percy yelled, only to be punched in the arm by Annabeth.

"Stop yelling, you're gonna distract Frank." Annabeth glared at him. Percy put his hands up in surrender.

For the rest of the ride, they all talked about what was going on in their lives. Leo said that his daughter said her first word last week. Everyone knew how big a milestone that was, with them having it happen to their children.

When they got there, they had to park the car blocked from the concert. It was at Madison Square Garden and you could see people lined up already. They tried and failed to see the back of the line, and kept walking until they got there. They walked for 5 minutes until they found the end.

Piper turned to the person in front of them. She was about 16 years old and was talking to two other girls around her age. She had blue dyed hair, a black shirt, blue skinny jeans, and red converse sneakers. Her other friends were dressed like her as well. Piper tapped her on the shoulder and she turned around.

Piper smiled at her. "Hi, sorry to bother you, but how long before we're let in?"

The girl and her friends smiled back at her. "It's no problem. It's still a few hours till the show. You guys are lucky you came now, because it's gonna be miles long later on."

"Miles?!" Hazel squeaked.

One of her friends raised a pierced eyebrow at her. She also had two on opposite sides of her bottom lip. "I take it this is your first concert?"

They all nodded their heads. The first girl shook her head. "Well, you have a lot to learn. You guys are older, but you can stick with us if you want. We can show you how it works here."

"That'd be great." Piper said. They were relieved that they now wouldn't be confused.

The third girl, who had a blond pixie cut, spoke up for the first time. "Where are you guys sitting?"

They told them their section and seat number and they girls started laughing.

"That's insane, were right next to you." The first one said. She turned to her friends. "Looks like we made some new friends."

"Hey, we never asked your names." Leo said, making them all realize that fact.

"My name's Summer. This is Lexi and Cassi." She said, pointing to the blond girl then the one with all the piercings.

Annabeth then introduced all of them. They started talking about where they were from. Apparently they had driven from New Jersey the day before and had stayed at Lexi's aunts' house. They talked for a while till the girls sat down and said they'd take a nap and asked them to wake them up when the line started moving.

After 3 hours, the doors must have opened because the line started to move forward. They quickly shook the girls awake and hurried to go with the steady stream of walking people. Once inside, they went to find their seats in the front. It took them about 10 minutes of wading through the dense crowd to get there. The girls were bouncing with excitement.

"I can't believe we're finally here." Said Lexi with amazement in her voice, like she couldn't believe it.

Summer turned to them. "Aren't you guys excited?"

They all turned red with embarrassment. "We don't actually know who we're seeing. Our friend didn't tell us when he gave us the tickets."

The three girls mouths dropped open. "You seriously don't know anything?" Cassi asked.

They shook their heads. Summer turned to her friends with a determined look in her eyes. "Guys, we are gonna teach these guys what's up."

Lexi was the first to explain. "The amazing band you're seeing is My Chemical Romance. They're one of the best rock bands, at least in our opinion. The essentials you need to know are all the band members' names. The lead singer is Gerard Way. His brother Mikey plays the bass guitar, he has blond hair. Ray Toro is one of the guitarists, he has the afro. Frank Iero is the other guitarist."

The 7 adults nodded their head. "Anything else we should know?" Frank asked from where he was standing.

They looked thoughtful. "I don't think so. You won't understand what some people say because you don't know anything about them. Just knowing their names is enough." Cassie said.

"Well, unless someone says Gerard's old name, then they'll be confused as hell. Hey, it's gonna start soon." Lexi said, turning towards the stage.

"What's Gerard's old name?" Piper asked.

"He changed his name when he was adopted by that ways. He didn't like it because it reminded him of his past, but he didn't really explain." Summer said, but then got distracted by Lexi's jumping up and down.

"Yeah, but what's his old name?" Leo shouted, because people were starting to chant "MCR".

"Nico di Angelo." Summer shouted back.

All 7 of them froze. It had to be a different person. There's no way it was true.

"That's impossible." Jason whispered.

"Are you serious?" Hazel asked Summer.

She looked confused. "Yeah, why?" she nudged her friends to pay attention.

Hazel looked them straight in the eye. "He's my brother."

The three girl's mouths dropped open. Before they could say anything, the stage went dark, and everyone quieted. Suddenly, a voice rang out.

Look alive sunshine

Everyone went crazy as the voice continued.

109 in the sky but the pigs won't quit, you're here with me, Dr. Death Defying. I'll be your surgeon, your proctor, your helicopter. Pumpin' out the slaughtermatic sounds to keep you alive. A system failure for the masses, anti-matter for the master plan. Louder than god's revolver and twice as shiny. Listen up. At his moment someone started playing a guitar. The future is bulletproof. The aftermath is secondary. Its time to do it now and do it loud. Killjoys, make some noise.

The lights started flashing as a drum started, then turned on entirely. At the center of the stage, was a man about their age with red hair. Even with the different color, then knew what the girls said was true.

Nico di Angelo, who had been missing for 16 years, was right in front of them.
