A/N: Yeah, that was the band name that grew to me. It was originally going to be Knights of Diamonds, but due to the character limit in band names, I had to change it to Hearts. I also give credit for mentioning Tokio Hotel's song in this chapter. I was playing World Tour so I wanted to add this song. Enjoy!

~Chapter Three: Knights of Hearts~

"Sometimes I wish you turned down the offer," Pandora told the guys, seeing a woman dancing in dark clothing and a man who looked turned on.

"You're not the only one, Pandora," Rose replied. Strippers are the number one thing she hated, because guys and in some cases women, only come here to see women get naked and sell their dignity. She glared at the women pole dancing, irritated at how they love getting the attention they oh so desired.

"Come on, ladies! I'm sure for your last resort, you would make sexy strippers," Izzy said winking at the two women. The Gothic woman gasped in anger, swatting Izzy in the head.

"You're such a pervert!" Pandora said crossing her arms. Rose just blush since the blond's good at doing that to her, but still kept her glare.

"If Izzy ever says that to you again, Rose, I'll deal with it," Johnny told the brunette leaning his arm on her shoulder. "You too, Pandora."

"Thanks, Johnny," Rose replied out of relief. "Let's just get this gig over with." Now all they got to do is just impress the owner of the place, then he'll have the meeting between the band and his boss. That figures, who is his boss? Before they started, the three looked at the singer, who got his microphone from a man backstage.

When Rose looked at the crowd, there were throwing bottles everywhere. What if she got hit by one while playing the song? Well, she would bleed, but as long as they impress the drunkards, then nothing bad will happen. As soon as all of them obtain their instruments, they headed to the walkway where the women stripping would be.

"All right guys, let's do this!" Johnny told the three as they began to play the song. The song they decided to play was one of Rose's favorites, which she had been dying to play guitar on. "Monsoon" by Tokio Hotel sounded too emo for Johnny, but for Rose, he would sing the song at the performance. The song started out so mellow, but then, near the end, it became loud and powerful. It eventually paid off, since Johnny's voice worked out very well.

Hitting the last note, Rose whammied it a little bit to add emphasis. The audience enjoyed the song choice, which included whistles and cheers as their reactions.

"Very good, you four. Now, it's time for you to meet up with my boss," Mitch told them, using his finger to direct them to a door which was noticeable, but locked under circumstances unless a person has the key. Twisting the key, Mitch opened the door and let the two ladies first, then the two guys, walking straight until the shades wearing man told them to stop. He knocked on the door, waiting for a response.

"Why are we being called here?" Izzy asked.

"That's because my boss is here," Mitch replied. He heard muffled dialogue through the door, but it definitely meant that they are allowed to be in. The four had blank stares at the man sitting on his desk with two ladies who looked like prostitutes that laid there wrapped around his arms.

"It's good to see you four. You guys were amazing from what I've heard. Starting today, I'll be your manager Lou. Also, if you're wondering, since I'm rich, I have these sexy ladies to love on." Rose looked so displeased when she heard that last sentence.

Why does our "manager" have to be a womanizer? she thought with a twisted look on her face.

"He's just kidding," Mitch told them. "He sold his old records for money so he can pick up hookers at the bar."

"If you keep this fibbing up, Mitch, I'll lowering your salary. Anyway, sign this contract, and I shall support your rock star achievements," Lou replied, showing the contract and the place to sign.

"So, who's going to sign it?" Izzy asked the three. Rose shrugged, while Pandora had an idea.

"I think Johnny should. He's the leader of this band after all."

"Eh, what the hell? Whatever, I'll sign it," the green haired man replied, taking the pen and writing his name. The brunette looked at his name and handwriting in interest.

Johnny Napalm, huh? So a stage name for him? Rose thought, looking at his signature.

"All right. I'll come by your house at around noon sharp. Let me know if you have plans, because I have some that are about to pop out of my head, only if you are able to think of 'em," Lou told the four.

"Seems we are making progress," Rose said as she got a can of Coke.

"That's right. However, we got to think of a plan for the next day, and more importantly, our name. What the hell is our name gonna be?" Johnny replied.

"Hey! You two agreed that if we lost our band name, I get to have the name set up!" Pandora told them.

"What? You mean, 'Knights of Hearts'? Sounds kind of gay to me," Izzy told her. Pandora rolled her eyes in disagreement. The brunette chimed in, hoping to cheer up Pandora.

"Actually, that doesn't sound bad," Rose said.

"What do you mean, exactly?" Johnny asked. Rose smiled and looked at the one who asked the question.

"Knights are protectors of their kingdom, right? Well, think of it like this: 'Hearts' are precious since it's the one thing we can't live without. By band terms, 'Hearts' can resemble the genre of rock. So by that, we are the protectors of rock, playing it because we love the genre, and we would even die for it."

"Okay, I change my mind," Izzy replied, putting out his hand. "That shall be our band name."

"Yes it shall," Pandora replied, placing her hand on Izzy's. Rose smiled and put hers on top of Pandora's.

"What do you say, Johnny?" she asked the taller man. He smiled while his brown eyes glistened, placing his hand on Rose's.

"Knights of Hearts it is, then."

Update from April of 2014: Some of the dialogue was taken from a YouTube video called "Guitar Hero: Abridged" which is basically an interpretation of Guitar Hero 3 if there was dialogue, and some parts being abridged. XD For a video that is six or seven years old, it still makes me laugh as if it was the first time I watched it.
