Nancy followed her friends into the restaurant; laughing and sneering at the people they passed. They sat at a table and a waiter took their drink orders as they threw bread at other costumers.

"Damn," one of her friends said, jerking her head towards a table behind her, "look at that sexy beast."

Nancy glanced up from her menu to see what – or more likely who – her friends were giggling about. She followed their gaze to a family in a booth. They seemed pretty normal looking at first: a mum, a dad, and two teenage boys. She rolled her eyes. Kay, not that special. She started going back to finding a good meal when something in the back of her mind clicked.

Nancy's head snapped up and she focused back on the family. No… it can't be him… She thought back to five years ago, to the fair-skinned, scrawny kid she picked fights with. There is no way that can be him. This guy, this guy was not that kid. He was tall, tan, and fit; almost the opposite of the kid she knew.

She watched him as he talked with his parents and joked around with a small, dark clothed boy next to him. She saw his smile widen as he saw a beautiful blonde enter and walk over to their table. He stood and gave her a quick kiss before sitting back down, purposely squishing the younger boy against the side of the booth even though there was plenty of room.

No. No, it's not him. He didn't have a father, he didn't have a little brother, and there is no way he got her as a girlfriend.

Just as Nancy had convinced herself that her mind was playing tricks on her, he looked up.

Their eyes met and he gave her a small half-smile and nodded.

All her doubts left her. No one else had eyes like those.

"Nancy! Nancy!" one of her friends called, snapping her fingers in front of Nancy's face, "oh good, you're back. You were out of it for a while there."

"She's thinking of Mr. Hot-Stuff over there."

Nancy tried to go back to talking with her friends, but she couldn't help thinking about just how much Percy Jackson had changed.

Thanks for reading!

Personally, don't think it's my best work. I had this idea for awhile but didn't write it until tonight and finished it about five minutes before posting it, but I hope you still enjoyed it.

I had to chuck Nico in there too, I love him!

Have a good day/night!
