(Hope I didn't go far from the original goal)

Hazel, Thalia, Piper, and Annabeth formed a band one day because they hoped to leave their life and tour the world. After a turn of events, their life ends up being pretty great. What'll happen when their record company wants them to go on tour? Will they go, or will they stay? (Percabeth, Jiper, Frazel, and Thaleo)




Annabeth was not pleased with the news she heard. The first message she received in the morning was for her and the girls to visit Aoide Records. Over the last couple of weeks they were performing on both private and public events, and the entire band was hoping for at least few days of break (Annabeth especially, since that was her only chance to see Percy). Instead, when she, Thalia, Piper, and Hazel all arrived at their recording company, the first revelation she heard made her almost spit out the water she was drinking.

“You want us to go where!?”

The company’s CEO, a young blonde man wearing an expensive-looking leather jacket, yellow t-shirt, and aviator shades, beamed her a dazzling smile.

“Barcelona,” he repeated. “I’ve heard it’s quite lovely this time of the year; I’m sure you’ll be adored there! And it’s going to be a wonderful promotion tour.”

He clasped his hands and looked around from one girl to another. All of them had rather vague expressions. Finally, Annabeth spoke again.

“Listen, Apollo…”

“Ekhm...” The CEO cleared his throat and looked at the daughter of Athena from behind his shades. He gently nudged his head towards the people in the hallway; managers, sound crew, and other performers. “We’re not alone, Miss Chase.”

“I mean… Mr. Lite, we agreed for this ‘tour’,” Annabeth made air quotes with her fingers, “as long as it was only around the country. Don’t you think that going overseas might be a little… difficult in our current state?”

“I’m sure it’s gonna be fine.” Mr. Lite smiled again. “I'll send you all the details soon. Now run along, get a good rest, enjoy the rest of the week off! We have Europe to conquer!”

"So, are we going or not?" Piper was the first one to speak, after the girls left the studio. They all agreed that after hearing this they all needed coffee (and chocolate, in Hazel's case). "I mean, we agreed for this feint only for the sake of the quest, but now we're going to cross the ocean again."

"The Senate is not going to be happy about this." Hazel added. "So close to the Ancient Lands? Last time was a must, but now?"

"Now it's a must, too," Annabeth replied. "Two months after Gaea's defeat and we still hadn't hunted down all of her minions. All the monsters roaming free, all the Ancient heroes that pledged their allegiance to her... And now we learn that they are leaving the country."

"Your Senate will have to deal with it," Thalia said. "The sooner we end this whole pretending the better. Seriously, why did you have to pair me up with Valdez of all people?!"

"It was my mom's idea." Piper raised her hand slightly. "She said that we all need to have 'secret lovers' for the media to talk about, and since you're the only one without a boyfriend..." She looked at the daughter of Zeus apologetically. "I'll treat you for lunch after we're done with all of this. For a week."

"I guess that means we're going?" Hazel asked, and looked at Annabeth.

Daughter of Athena nodded. "No choice. Let's meet up with the boys and see how their part of the quest goes."
