Someone Like You
Disclaimer: I don't own the Kane Chronicles or PJO. That honour is Rick's.
Author's Note: This idea came to me around two in the morning. This is about 10 years into the future. Nico is 23, Sadie is 23, Thalia is 25, and Anubis is 25 {in human years}. Pairings: hints of Sanubis and Thalico. Thanubis and Sadico. Mentions Percabeth and others. Please enjoy.
After Nico Iris Messaged me, I grabbed my iPod and ran to the pine tree in my backyard. I turned it on but it didn't turn on fast enough, so I tossed it down next to me and started singing.
"I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.
"Hey Thals. How are you? I wanted to tell you, on behalf of Sadie and I, you're invited to the wedding. It's on the Winter Solstice. I really hope you can come. You can bring Anubis. It's at Mount Olympus. Zeus and Horus are doing the wedding. Bye." I wore a fake smile and I think Nico knew it was fake too. I waved bye after I said I was coming.
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, "
Yeah
I wish I knew what you meant when you said that the first time. I would've tried to be a better girlfriend. At least we're on friendly terms again.
You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days
Technically, we were born and raised in summer, me a 'Pine-Cone Face' and you 'Death Breath'. Percy and Annabeth have gotten married, so have Travis and Katie. And Reyna and Octavian, Jason and Piper, and Leo and Hazel, are all engaged. They told me through Iris Messages and letters. I should be happy but…

Yeah
Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."
My eyes were closed but I sensed someone sit down next to me. The person laced my fingers with theirs.

Yeah
Maybe, just maybe, everything will be alright. I opened my eyes and said softly, "You still have a tux? We're going to a wedding in five months."
He chuckled softly. "I'll ask Osiris. He'll probably have one I can borrow." He removed his hand from my hand and reached into his pocket. He pulled out a simple diamond ring. "Thalia Grace, will you marry me?" He asked nervously.
I looked at my boyfriend with loving eyes. "Hmm," I said, putting on my infamous smirk. "Well, I guess I should say...YES! THANK THE GODS! I thought you were never going to ask!"
"Wait, you knew?" He asked incredulously.
"Gods of Ancient Egypt, you're dense. Of course. Dad came down and talked to me after you received his blessing." I smirked again.
He started muttering under his breath in Egyptian. I tilted his chin up and kissed him.
The End! Do you see how suckish I am at romantic scenes?
I hope you enjoyed. Please review. Bye!
