The Sequel you all (hopefully) have been waiting for…

Let's assume that both Nico and Thalia are in their early twenties (I don't want to make it too specific because then it gets confusing). BTW I need an OC, see bottom for details.

Thalia's POV

Ugh have I ever mentioned how much I hate the morning? Especially Monday mornings? Yes maybe I've graduated from MIT with a degree in both business and engineering but that doesn't mean I'm not entitled to complain. Annabeth doesn't understand. Oh well.

I snuck a peek at the alarm clock. 6:57. Crap! I have a job interview at 7:30! I got out of bed and looked in the mirror. Darn it. This is gonna be a long morning.

I took a five minute shower and slipped on a black pencil skirt and a nice white blouse. Not really my style, but I looked professional. I slid on my favorite pair of heels, my black prom heels that I never had the heart to throw out because of…well never mind. That's the past. I put on minimal makeup, some eyeliner (but not enough to look my style, punk), mascara and some lip gloss.

I stuffed a waffle in my mouth while I attempted to make my hair look presentable. I failed epically so I put it up into a ponytail. I looked at the time. 7:13. Phew. I had time to catch a taxi.

I hailed a cab and waited in silence. I looked down at the job description which I had found online and had printed out.

Dare Enterprises

Dare Enterprises have recently made a move to become more "green" or more environmentally friendly. Unfortunately it has come to our notice that our departments are severally lacking in this aspect. In order to combat this problem Dare Enterprises is creating a new department, The Department for the Regulation of Creation and Expansion of Environmentally Friendly Products, or more conventionally known as "The Green Department". We have already obtained members for this department to work on the interior, however we are in need of a head of the Green Department.

The description went on and on but I didn't bother reading it. Well I've already read it a million times and I knew that I was adequately qualified for this job and NO ONE was going to take it from me. Not to mention the starting salary (coughcough $150,000 per year coughcough).

The ride was over and I paid the driver. Dare Enterprises was a huge building because it was an extremely successful company. I opened the door and calmly walked into the CEO's office. I can do this.

-One really long hour later-

Yes! I got the job! I was gonna start doing my whole victory dance right there in the middle of the hall when I saw some people walking down the hall. Two people in fact, a tiny redhead and…Nico?

I was torn. Should I go over there and slap him or should I go over there and slap the girl? Hmm you're probably wondering what happened…in that case…

*Flashback*

Thalia woke up feeling terrible. She realized her throbbing headache was the result of a killer hangover. She groaned and pulled herself up. She looked around. There were discarded glasses everywhere and the place was a mess. The stench of alcohol was so strong that even Dionysus would have gagged.

Where am I? she thought before realizing this was the debris of the graduation (from college) party. She stumbled out of the living room. She went upstairs and opened a random door. She looked inside and her jaw dropped.

Nico was laying there sleeping half-naked with a…erm…more naked Rachel on top. In her mind there was no doubt what he did last night.

Thalia hailed a cab to take herself home. She pulled out her phone and texted Nico two small but painful words: We're over. She even cried for half an hour. Then she pulled herself together and promised herself that she'd never shed a tear over him again.

*End flashback*

Don't ask why I flashback in third person. Bad habit. Anyways back to present. So Nico and his little girlfriend were walking down the hall. Wait a second. Rachel Dare. Dare Enterprises. HOW DID I NOT PUT THAT TOGETHER? Stupid Thalia! But in my defense, 'Dare' is a pretty common name. Grr.

"Hey Thalia." Rachel said with a trace of smugness, "Fancy seeing you here." Liar. Have I ever mentioned how much I hated Rachel? Actually I used to like her back when she was the Oracle but then apparently she went through puberty or something and decided that she wanted to date so she dumped the job of Oracle on some poor chum from Apollo's cabin. Sadly she can still see through the Mist so I can't even get away with anything.

"Hello." I said as politely as I could, "Just here for a job interview."

"Really? For what?" she asked.

"Head of the Green Department." I replied.

"Well good luck." She smirked, "Daddy's not giving that job to anyone you know. He's already interviewed about twenty people for it."

Daddy? Crap.

"Really…" I said evenly, "Because I've just been accepted." Take that! Muh hahaha.

"Congratulations!" Nico said, speaking for the first time.

I nodded but didn't meet his eyes, "Thanks."

"Omigod that is so cool. So we'll see each other more often?" Rachel sqeauled. NO!

"Sure." I said. This game was becoming increasing hard to play, "Well today's my last day of freedom, I start tomorrow. Bye." I started walking toward the elevator when I heard a voice call my name.

"Thalia!" Nico called. I turned around slowly.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"I…um…never mind. See you around." I nodded again and left.

Nico's POV

Is it just me or did Thalia get prettier? Um…scratch that…I have a girlfriend. Rachel Elizabeth Dare, the little redhead who's glued to my side. Now I bet you're wondering why I'm here?

Well I graduated from Harvard with a degree in law *smug*. I met Rachel and one thing led to another but she used her status as daughter-of-CEO to get me a job as a lawyer for Dare Enterprises. Rachel and I soon progressed from being just friends to dating. Well Thalia dumped me first. It still hurts. Basically this is what happened:

*Flashback*

I groaned as I woke up with a huge headache. I opened my eyes and wondered what that annoying beeping sound was. I realized it was my phone; I had received a text. I flipped open my phone to see two words: We're over. It was from Thalia.

"Nico!" It was Rachel, "OMIGOD what's wrong?"

"Erm…Thalia just dumped me?" I still was trying to process it.

She gasped, "Oh my, that's why she was dirty dancing with that guy."

"What guy?" I snapped.

"Um…you don't really want to know. It was pretty bad, she was all over him. I tried to pull her away but she wouldn't listen to me." And that's when I knew we were really over.

*End flashback*

Now I'm with Rachel who got me a job and we're happily together. I think. Anyways it was really weird seeing Thalia here especially with Rachel…hopefully we won't run into each other too much…or maybe we will.

Sadly I need an OC. Should be a guy who works at Dare Enterprises, same age as Thalia and Nico and a demigod (should not be a Big Three Child). Try to make him as opposite from Nico as possible. Please leave your OC in the reviews because I'm really lazy about checking PMs!

Hope you liked the beginning of the sequel! Now review! :)
