Percy, Nico, and Thalia got on the bus to cheers. Sighing, they went to sit down.

"Sometimes this gets to be a little too much." Thalia said under her breath to her cousins. Percy and Nico nodded.

"But I still love them." The lead grinned. The three of them sat down.

"Yeah. If only they knew how hard our lives really are." Nico added. Thalia nodded.

"People think that we're just normal teenage pop stars with perfect lives. What do they think happened that made us famous? How do they know how our dad's treat us?"

"Completely. Look at Nico here. He's lived a hard life. Thalia, we've seen our cousin die, the cousin that just so happened to be his sister. Then the way that he acts in front of Uncle Hades? Perfect posture, no arguing or talking back. You'd think that a kid would just need to be himself in front of his parents to earn their approval." Percy shook his head. Nico sighed.

"I can't help myself, okay? I want to earn Dad's approval. I need to act like that to get it. Apparently being his famous puppet isn't enough for him."

"Then why do you want to impress him?" Thalia asked.

"Because he's my father!" Nico growled.

"You know, this gives me an idea for a song." Percy trailed off. Thalia raised her eyebrows.

"And what's that song called, Kelp Head?" She asked. Percy smiled slightly.

"Photograph."

He started scribbling lyrics.

After school that day, Percy, Nico, and Thalia headed up to the sound booth. They watched Percy grab a guitar (a non-electrical) and head for the microphone. He sat down and started playing and singing, Nico going in and playing the drums with the beat of the song a little into it.

(Bold is Percy)

"Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes

But it's the only thing that I know

When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes
It is the only thing that makes us feel alive

We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
And time's forever frozen still

So you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home

Loving can heal, loving can mend your soul
And it's the only thing that I know, know
I swear it will get easier,
Remember that with every piece of you
Hm, and it's the only thing we take with us when we die

Hm, we keep this love in this photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts were never broken
And time's forever frozen still

So you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone

And if you hurt me
That's okay baby, only words bleed
Inside these pages you just hold me
And I won't ever let you go
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home

You can fit me
Inside the necklace you got when you were sixteen
Next to your heartbeat where I should be
Keep it deep within your soul

And if you hurt me
Well, that's okay baby, only words bleed
Inside these pages you just hold me
And I won't ever let you go

When I'm away, I will remember how you kissed me
Under the lamppost back on Sixth street
Hearing you whisper through the phone,
"Wait for me to come home.""

"Wow, Percy. Better than I expected!" Thalia complimented when the song was over and she was allowed to go in. "Let's add that to our new album, Summer's End! How many songs do we have in there?"

She started counting in her head: 1. Tonight, 2. Best Day of My Life, 3. Uma Thurman, 4. Womanizer, 5. Centuries, 6. Demons, 7. Young Volcanoes, 8. Good Girl, 9. Photograph.

"That's nine songs!" Nico realized at the same time that Thalia did. The his face fell. "But we need ten."

"What if we add a Something Big remix?" Percy asked, eyebrows raised.

"That would work!" Nico exclaimed.

Thalia grinned. "Summer's End should be out in a week. We'll be even more popular!"

"Let's start making this song's video." Percy grinned.

An hour later, four out of the ten videos were done.

"Come on! We can finish this!" Thalia exclaimed. It was seven at night, but the three of them hadn't left the room since six. "We need to finish this!"

"Okay. We're almost done with Centuries. Once we finish that, then we can eat dinner and keep working. Should we guest-star Jason and Piper for the Somthing Big remix? That way it isn't just like the other version? If so, we should call them and see if they can come over for this video as soon as possible." Percy took charge. He tended to do that when they had a pop stars work to do.

"I'll text Piper and Jason." Thalia volunteered while shopping out her phone and tying st speeds almost inhuman.

About two minutes later, a text came from Annabeth.

I'm bringing them over now.

Thalia was satisfied, as so we're Percy and Nico when she told them.

They had some music to make.

Oh, whoa, oh oh oh oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh whoa oh oh oh oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh

Play the lotto you might win it.
It's like 25 to life so you bust out of prison.

Something's in the air, something's in the air

It's like that feeling when you're just about to kill it,
Take your last shot you know you're gonna hit it.

Somethings in the air, somethings in the air

Whoa oh oh oh oh

Something big I feel it happening
Out of my control
Pushing, pulling, and it's grabbing me,
Feel it in my bones like

Whoa oh oh oh oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh whoa oh oh oh oh
Something big I feel it happening
Oh whoa oh oh oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh
Something big

It's like that feeling when you're 'bout to win the medal,
And you worked so hard that you knew you wouldn't settle,
Hands are in the air, hands are in the air.

When they hear you when you thought they wouldn't listen,
It's like an anthem that the whole world's singing,

Hands are in the air, hands are in the air.

Whoa oh oh oh oh

Something big I feel it happening
Out of my control,
Pushing, pulling, and it's grabbing me,
Feel it in my bones like,

Oh whoa oh oh oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh whoa. Oh oh oh oh
Something big I feel it happening
Oh whoa oh oh oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh whoa. Oh oh oh oh
Something big

Whoa
Yeah, yeah

If we stomp our feet,
The ground will shake
If we clap our hands,
The walls will break
Yell so loud won't forget our names
'Cause something big is happening

Take this spark
And start a fire
Raise this up
We're feeling high
They can't tell us anything
'Cause something big is happening

Something big I feel it happening
Out of my control
Pushing, pulling, and it's grabbing me,
Feel it in my bones like

Oh oh oh oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
Something big is happening whoa
Oh oh oh oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
Something big I feel it happening oh"

"Great job, guys!" Piper and Jason were complimented when the song had ended.

"Thanks! It must be cool being a pop star, making videos like that all the time." Piper sighed. Thalia chuckled.

"Trust me, it's not like that all the time."

"What do you mean?" Jason asked.

"Theres a lot more to just song writing and music making when it comes to being a famous band." Nico said, grinning a little.

"Yup." Percy added. The others turned to him and saw that he had the camera out and still on, facing them. "What?" He asked, eyebrows raised. "It's behind the scenes!"

Percy was going to get it. Everybody was sure of that.

So, I know that it's not my longest chapter (or is it), and I know that it's a little late (even though this many updates is bad for my health), but at least I updated!

This chapter must go to Snowflake Eliza Cahill Sparkle for her crazy and unique review! Just type a few things about this and you might be next (wow that sounded like an advertisement [I am doing a lot of these, aren't I?])!

Please Answer This Question: Are you going to buy and read Magnus Chase: The Swords of Summer the second that it comes out? I am! I've already placed my order!

Until next time,

Awesomeninja ;)

P.S, Yup! It is my new longest! But I think that that mostly has to do with this excessively long A/N... Anyway, thanks for reading! REVIEW!
