Ok this is something that sort of came to me last night while I was derping around on Tumblr...yeah being sick has it's perks...yes this is Thalico with hints of Nico/OC, Thaluke, Percabeth, possibly some Jasper, Caleo, Gruniper, Chrisse, and whatever else I throw in. I know all about the whole Nico thing...yes I am choosing to ignore it for this particular fic so please do not remind me...this is fanfiction you can do anything you want. Anyway let me know if you like it and if you have any suggestions...unless they happen to be flames (those will stay in your head)...please let me know when you review. Usually I ship Thaluke but I have Thalico moments...so let me know if I'm correctly portraying the ship and if you guys would like to see anything with the ship please let me know. Reviews are greatly appreciated, flames are frowned upon in this establishment however...but please review and let me know how you like it :D RawR and Enjoy.

P.S. I'll try to update my other fics if you read them...and I'm sorry about sounding super mean...I'm not usually like that...

I wasn't exactly in the mood to be attending girls night that Annabeth had enacted a few years before but I did it anyway. I figured that I could sit through another night of listening to all of my friends talking about their relationships while I was still completely single. Just as I was about to walk out the door my phone rang. I answered it without looking, "Hello?"

"Thals?"

"Obviously, who else would it be?" I asked.

"Well no need to bite my head off." it was Nico.

"What do you want Nico?" I asked.

"Look I have an extra ticket for Zombie Con and I don't want to go alone." Nico explained.

"You're a twenty something year old man and you're still going to Zombie Con?" I asked as I dug around for my keys.

"There is nothing wrong with Zombie Con." Nico muttered.

Finally I found my keys, "Don't you think Terra would get mad if she found out that you were going with me, your best friend, who she is convinced is the devil?"

"Please Thals, she told me to take whoever I wanted." Nico begged.

"I don't think she was accounting for me." I said as I pressed the phone to my ear with my shoulder and I dug through my purse once again for my keys and realized that I was holding them, "Besides it's girls night and I know Annabeth will probably kill me if I skipped again."

"Please Thalia, I'll cover for you if Annabeth asks." Nico begged.

"Fine I'll call Annabeth and tell her that I can't make it because you're forcing me to attend Zombie Con with you." I rolled her eyes. I didn't even like zombies...well ok maybe I did but Nico was weirdly obsessed with zombies and sometimes it scared me.

"Thank you Thals." Nico said before I hung up and had to deal with Annabeth.

"Hey Thals what's up?" Annabeth asked.

"Umm I'm not going to be able to make it because Nico managed to force me into going to Zombie Con with him." I said.

Annabeth was silent for a moment, "Thalia why do you do this to yourself?"

I sighed, "I have no clue, Terra wouldn't go with him and he begged me."

"Just don't get hurt ok?" Annabeth sighed after a moment.

I smiled slightly, "I won't Annie, I promise."

The doorbell rang and I opened it to find Nico dressed like Daryl Dixon from The Walking Dead, "Really a full costume?"

Nico nodded, "Aren't you going to wear one?"

I shook my head, "No way in Hell are you going to get me to wear a costume."

"I know you have that Sexy Rick Grimes costume, I was with you when you bought it." Nico whined.

"I'm not wearing it, it was for a joke for a Halloween party last year." I rolled my eyes.

"Please Thalia." Nico begged giving me his dark puppy dog eyes.

I sighed, "Fine but I have to find it first."

I trudged up the stairs to my room and dug through my closet. I finally found the stupid costume and quickly changed into it. I hoped this would amuse him. I walked down the stairs, pulling the fabric on the skirt down as I walked, now I know why I threw this thing into the back of my closet. Once I came into Nico's view he smiled, "You look hot."

I rolled my eyes, "Shut up, we should go so we can find a parking spot."

Once downtown Nico found a parking spot that was fairly close which doesn't happen often and we walked down the sidewalk. I wrapped my coat around me a little tighter and Nico looked over at me, "Are you cold?"

"Only because I'm wearing this stupid costume." I muttered.

"Do you want to grab a bite to eat?" he asked.

I shrugged, "I guess so."

We walked into our favorite little bar that had the best burgers and waited for awhile before we were seated. Nico looked over at me, "Thanks for coming out with me."

I shrugged, "I guess this is a little better than sitting through all of my friends talk about their sex and love lives."

"Why don't you try to get a boyfriend then?" Nico asked.

Because he's dating someone who he shouldn't be, I thought internally but answered, "I guess I haven't met the right guy."

"He'll come along." Nico shrugged when our waitress finally walked over and showed us to our table. She took our drink orders and left.

My phone buzzed and I looked to see who it was. I sighed it was Annabeth probably checking up on me. I replied quickly to her text and shoved my phone back into my jacket pocket.

Thalia and I were walking around Zombie Con, and I noticed a lot of guys were beginning to stare. I mean I couldn't exactly blame them; Thalia's costume that I told her to wear, showed a nice amount of cleavage and leg and hugged her body pretty nicely.

I looked at the clock and Thalia was yawning, "Are you ready to leave?"

She shrugged, "I guess."

We headed back to my car and on the way back we bumped into someone we hadn't seen for awhile; Luke Castellan.

"Thalia is that you?" he asked.

Thalia looked at him and smiled, "Luke?"

Luke grinned, "Thalia, God it's been awhile."

Thalia smiled, "Yeah it has, how are you?"

"I'm good...oh I'm sorry am I intruding on a date?" he asked noticing me.

"Why would it matter?" I asked.

Thalia shot me a glare before turning back to Luke and smiling, "No Nico and I are just ummm friends, we came down to Zombie Con."

Luke nodded, "I can see that. Nice to see you Nico, I almost didn't recognize you."

"Nice to see you too." I muttered.

"So you wouldn't mind if I borrowed Thalia for a few hours then?" he asked smiling at Thalia.

"No be my guest we were just heading home anyway." I shrugged.

Luke offered his arm to Thalia and she took it and he smiled, "Well thanks."

They walked down the sidewalk arm in arm leaving me alone. I walked back to my car and realized that she would probably much rather spend time with Luke anyway besides Terra was probably freaking out because it was after midnight.

The next day I was at the gym with Percy when Luke walked over, "Hey guys."

Percy grinned, "Hey man's what's up?"

Luke smiled, "I'm good. Hi Nico."

I nodded but continued my weight training. See I wasn't as muscular as Luke or even Percy, I was a little more lean but I did have some muscle.

"So when did you get back in town man?" Percy asked.

"Last night actually." Luke said.

Percy nodded, "That's crazy, what are you doing now?"

"I'm a professional baseball player." Luke replied, "I actually ran into Nico and Thalia last night at Zombie Con."

Percy looked over at me, "Zombie Con?"

I nodded, "I'm a Walking Dead enthusiast."

Percy looked over at Luke, "You go to Zombie Con?"

Luke nodded, "The Walking Dead is one of my favorite shows and I couldn't resist when I found out that there was one downtown."

"So what are you doing back?" Percy asked. I was going to stay quiet.

Luke shrugged, "I want to open a sports bar, I can't pitch anymore so I figured I might as well come back and open one here. Plus I wanted to see Thalia again."

"Why would you want to see Thalia again?" I asked before I could register what's going on.

Luke and Percy both looked at me kind of funny before Luke replied, "I wanted to see if we could pick up where we left off."

I didn't say anything else but Percy pulled me aside, "What the hell was that?"

I shrugged, "I don't know, me standing up for my best friend."

"You do realize that this is a chance for her to be happy right?" Percy asked.

"He broke her heart when he ran off to be a professional baseball player and I will not let that happen again!" I hissed.

Percy shook his head, "You are seriously oblivious aren't you?"

I looked at him, "What do you mean by that?"

Percy just shook his head and walked back over to Luke. I shrugged and followed him.

"So did you have a chance to talk to Thalia yet?" Percy asked.

Luke nodded, "Actually I did last night, it was nice."

That's it I couldn't take it anymore. I got up and decided to go busy myself elsewhere in the gym. I couldn't sit there and listen to them talk about Thalia. Don't ask my why but I don't think Luke deserves Thalia, I mean she was a mess when he left her to play professional baseball. I don't know what Percy meant when he told me I was oblivious but I did know that I wasn't going to let Thalia get the way she was during our senior year of college.
