Summary
Percy, Annabeth, Leo, Piper, Jason, Hazel, and Frank make up a famous band called the Seven.

They started a band. And now they're world famous. But suddenly, life takes a shocking turn and the group of teenagers are forced to face the real world: High School. Is this change for better or for worse? Rated T. Famous Mortal AU. Regular ships.
Chapter 1 - It's Show Time
No One's POV
The crowd was chattering. The stadium was dark. Everyone was anxious for the concert to start.
"5 minutes till the show starts, guys! C'mon lets get a move on!" A man ushered 7 teenagers out of their dressing rooms.
Assistants and make up artists were scurrying around, putting on the finishing touches.
After they left, the 7 teenagers gathered in a circle. They put their arms around each other's shoulders.
"Alright guys! This is the night! Everything and anything we do here will affect our career, for better or for worse." A black haired boy began.
A pretty brunette girl nodded. "He's right! We're gonna give it our all tonight! Don't hold back!"
"1 minute left!" The agent urged.
The teenagers nodded. They swayed, slowly getting faster as they chanted.
"We are the Seven. We are the Seven. We are the Seven."
"Time's up!" The agent pushed them out onto the stage.
The black haired boy looked at the crowd and then back at his friends.
"Remember; hit 'em with all you got."
They nodded.
He grinned. "It's show time."
A low bass resonated around the room. The spectators hushed… momentarily.
An electric blue light appeared, and 7 silhouettes could be seen on stage. The fans were getting excited.
A spot light shined on the young boy in front. He was 17 years old, had midnight black hair, sea green eyes that sparkled with mischief, and tanned skin. A permanent playful smirk was planted on his face. Slung around his back was a sparkling green and black electric guitar.
Everyone knew who he was: Percy Jackson.
"Hello New York!" He pumped a fist in the air. The fans cheered in response.
More spot lights shined down on the other band members. A girl was standing next to Percy. She had thick and wavy honey blonde hair (A/N: Some of you think that Annabeth still has curly hair, but according to Rick Riordan in Magnus Chase, Annabeth's hair is wavy. Sorry for spoilers!) And shining gray eyes. A deep tan could be seen even though it was still a bit dark. She was gripping the microphone.
"It's an honor for us to play for you tonight!" She called to the crowd.
More members appeared. Another girl with choppy brown hair and multi colored eyes at a keyboard, a boy with blonde hair and icy blue eyes with an electric blue electric guitar in his hands, another girl- younger than the rest- with sun kissed brown skin and golden eyes and curly cinnamon toast hair that was standing behind an electric keyboard, a ripped Asian boy holding a blood red bass, and a Hispanic boy seated behind black drums.
The members of the Seven, the most famous teenage band in the world.
And they were all wearing punk clothes.
Annabeth Chase was the blonde. Piper McLean was the brunette, Jason Grace was the second guitar player, Hazel Levesque was the young girl behind the electric keyboard, Frank Zhang was the Asian boy holding the bass, and of course, Leo Valdez was the drummer.
The fans went even wilder. They stomped their feet and clapped their hands.
The show hadn't even started yet. The band members blushed sheepishly at the attention.
"We'll be playing a few songs from our new album: Wars over the Summer." Annabeth smiled.
More cheers.
"Hope you like it!" Percy smirked. Then he turned to Leo and nodded.
Leo got the message and clanged his drum sticks against each other, counting out the beat. "1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4!"

Dud u du-du, dud u du-du
Dud u du-du. Du du du-du
Du du…
Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
Just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
He-e-e-ey ya, oh he-e-e-ey
He-e-e-ey ya
Remember me for centuries
Mummified my teenage dreams
No, it's nothing wrong with me
The kids are all wrong
The story's all off
Heavy metal broke my heart
Come on, come on and let me in
The bruises on your thighs like my fingertips
And this is supposed to match
The darkness that you felt
I never meant for you to fix yourself
Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du…
Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
Just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
He-e-e-ey ya, oh he-e-e-ey
He-e-e-ey ya
Remember me for centuries
And I can't stop 'til the whole world knows my name
'Cause I was only born inside my dreams
Until you die for me, as long as there's light
My shadow's over you (Piper and Jason)
'Cause I, I am the opposite of amnesia
And you're a cherry blossom
You're about to bloom
You look so pretty, but you're gone so soon
Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du…
Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
Just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
He-e-e-ey ya, oh he-e-e-ey
He-e-e-ey ya
Remember me for centuries
We've been here forever
And here's the frozen proof
I could scream forever
We are the poisoned youth
Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du du-du, du du du-du
Du du…
Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
Just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
The crowd went wild when they finished the song. Once again, the band members (mostly those who sang) blushed.
When Percy spoke, they quieted down.
"All right guys! This next one, our awesome friend Leo Valdez wrote. So we decided, why not let him sing it? Take it away, Leo!" Percy smiled at the Hispanic boy.
Percy took his seat at the drums (the only other instrument he knew how to play other than guitar) and Leo stood behind the mic and grabbed his own fiery red electric guitar.
My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (by Fall out Boy)
Bold = Leo, Normal = Everyone
Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.
Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.
B-B-B-Be careful making wishes in the dark, dark
Can't be sure when they've hit their mark
And besides in the mean, mean time
I'm just dreaming of tearing your apart
I'm in the de-details with the devil
So now the world can never get on my level
I just gotta get you off the cage
I'm a young lover's rage
Gonna need a spark to ignite
My songs know what you did in the dark
So light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
I'm on fire
So light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
I'm on fire
Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.
In the dark, dark
Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.
In the dark, dark
All the writers keep writing what they write
Somewhere another pretty vein just dies
I've got the scars from tomorrow and I wish you could see
That you're the antidote to everything except for me, me
A constellation of tears on your lashes
Burn everything you love, then burn the ashes
In the end of everything collides
My childhood spat back out the monster that you see
My songs know what you did in the dark
So light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
I'm on fire
So light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
I'm on fire
Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.
In the dark, dark
Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.
In the dark, dark
My songs know what you did in the dark
(My songs know what you did in the dark)
So light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
I'm on fire
So light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up

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

Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.
In the dark, dark
Oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa.
Many girls in the crowd screamed as Leo took an obnoxious bow. When he straightened, he smirked and blew a kiss at a girl near the front, being the flirt that he is.
She fainted on the spot.
Leo laughed and returned to the drums and Percy took up his guitar.
"All right, peeps! We have a few more songs left! But the next one, I'm gonna hand to my cousin Jason Grace over here, who wrote this also. We all hope you love it, Jason especially." He smiled at the blonde.
Jason nodded with a smile, his faint scar curling into a crescent. He nodded at Leo, who counted out the beat again.

Fans cheered. Guys and girls alike stomped and clapped. The Seven's faces couldn't have gotten any more redder at this point.
"Thanks, guys! Nice to know you care!" Jason thanked.
Percy laughed. "Gods, Grace, you sound sarcastic."
"Aw, can it, Jackson."
"As much as I'd love to, I have a concert to finish, so…"
Jason stuck out his tongue.
The crowd laughed.
Percy smiled. "These last two all of us pitched in to write. These are personally my favorite, especially this one! Hope you like it!"
Top of the World (by Greek Fire)
Bold = Percy, Bold Italics = Jason, Underlined Italics = Annabeth,Underlined = Piper, Bold Underlined Italics = Everyone
Yeah, oh, yeah oh
On top of the world
On top of it all
Trying to feel invincible
Yeah, oh, yeah oh
Dying on top of the world
I remember the nights
Caught up in dreaming my goodbyes
Watching the door for anything more
Than an ordinary life
Annabeth and Percy turned to face each other. They stared into the other's eyes and joined hands. Girls cooed. Piper smirked.
I remember the days
New beginnings on an open page
With something to prove
And nothing to lose
Not a soul to betray
Here I am
Living a dream that I can't hold
Here I am on my own
On top of the world
On top of it all
Trying to feel invincible
Yeah, oh, yeah oh
I'm dying on top of the world
I remember the lies
Caught up in building paradise
The angels were slaves
And demons behaved
And everything was alright
Here I am
Living a dream that I can't hold
Here I am on my own
On top of the world
On top of it all
Trying to feel invincible
Yeah, oh, yeah oh
On top of the world
On top of it all
Trying to feel invincible
Yeah, oh, yeah oh
I'm dying on top of the world
I hear the crowds beneath me
I'm wishing they could reach me
But I'm on top of the world
Up here I'm dying alone
Hazel: Inside the walls of gold, outside of happiness
It's all been a show, too late to confess
Frank: No room for heart and soul
Leo: No room for innocence, innocence
On top of the world
On top of it all
Trying to feel invincible
Yeah, oh, yeah oh
On top of the world
On top of it all
Trying to feel invincible
Yeah, oh, yeah oh
On top of the world
On top of it all
Trying to feel invincible
Yeah, oh, yeah oh
I'm dying on top of the world
Yeah, oh, yeah oh
Yeah, oh, yeah oh
Dying on top of the world
The crowd cried out. Everyone grinned. They had all wrote this song, and they loved that their fans loved it.
After they finally calmed down, Percy to the mic. He sighed,
"This is going to be our last song for the night," He began. The fans groaned, Percy grinned, "But don't worry. We're still working on Wars over the Summer! I think we put the most hard work in this last song, as a, you know, show stopper."
Annabeth face palmed. Percy flashed her a grin. She rolled her eyes but blushed all the same.
"I especially hope you like it, as I wrote a good portion of it," Percy paused and looked at his band mates, as if daring them to object. When none of them did, he turned back to the crowd. "It's called Ready, Aim, Fire." He gave a mischievous grin to the girls. Most of them swooned.
Percy nodded at Leo.
"1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4!"
Ready, Aim, Fire (by Imagine Dragons)
Bold = Percy, Bold Italics = Jason, Underlined Italics = Annabeth and Piper, Bold Underlined Italics = Everyone
Whoa
With our backs to the wall, the darkness will fall
We never quite thought we could lose it all
Ready, aim, fire
Ready, aim, fire
And empire's fall in just one day
You close your eyes and the glory fades
Ready aim fire
Ready aim fire away (fire!)
Ready aim fire
Ready aim fire away
Off in the distance
There is resistance
Bubbling up and festering
Hey Mr. Motion
Make me a potion
Shake it all up with your mystery
How come I've never seen your face round here
I know every single face round here
A man on a mission
Changing the vision
I was never welcome here
We don't have a choice to stay
We'd rather die than do it your way
With our backs to the wall, the darkness will fall
We never quite thought we could lose it all
Ready, aim, fire
Ready, aim, fire
And empire's fall in just one day
You close your eyes and the glory fades
Ready aim fire
Ready aim fire away (fire!)
Ready aim fire
Ready aim fire away
Back in the casing
Shaking and pacing
This is the tunnel's light
Blood in the writing
Stuck in the fighting
Look through the rifle's sight
How come I've never seen your face round here
I know every single face round here
Here in the heckle
Holding the shackle
I was never welcome here
We don't have a choice to stay
We'd rather die than do it your way
With our backs to the wall, the darkness will fall
We never quite thought we could lose it all
Ready, aim, fire
Ready, aim, fire
And empire's fall in just one day
You close your eyes and the glory fades
Ready aim fire
Ready aim fire away (fire!)
Ready aim fire
Ready aim fire away
Whoa
With our backs to the wall, the darkness will fall
We never quite thought we could lose it all
Ready, aim, fire
Ready, aim, fire
And empire's fall in just one day
You close your eyes and the glory fades
Ready aim fire
Ready aim fire away (fire!)
Ready aim fire
Ready aim fire away
The crowd went really crazy. Everyone took a bow, but Percy's was the biggest. When they stood they received a standing ovation (well, it would've been a standing ovation if the fans had been sitting down).
"Thank you so much! Thank you all!" Percy called.
As the fans began gathering their stuff to leave, Annabeth called out. "Don't forget! Meet us outside of the North wing for pictures, autographs, and signings! Wars over the Summer come out in a few weeks! Don't miss it!"
Then the Seven left the stage and went into their dressing rooms.
Author's Note: And there's chapter 1! I'm working on chappie 2 right now. Hope you liked it, even though there wasn't much
XOXO,
