We'll see Each Other Again

by Lady McShizzle

As Nico goes subconsciously onto his way in who-knows-where, he began to re-encounter his memories, from his stay beside his mother's arm up to his last mission with the Seven heroes of Olympus. His heart ached for the sweet memoirs and yet he couldn't do anything about it. Unexpectedly, something happened as he entered the McDonald's Restaurant. [Set in Nico's Point-Of-View]

It's been five years since Bianca went to Elysium and have her soul cleansed in River Lethe to have a new life. As I walk along the side street, I can't help recalling the moments we spent together. It felt as if they were just yesterday. Living now without her is like a part of me was gone. I walked straight to the door subconsciously and went straight to the counter. "Hello sir, welcome to Mcdo, can I have your order?" the cashier asked to the costumer way in front of me.

'Such a dam long line' I mutter under my breath.

"Mommy, mommy , I want to eat here". I turned around towards the direction of the voice. As I stood here it's like the time froze. The girl was holding her mother's hand and my heart thumped faster. The girl pulled her mother's arm towards the line behind me. As the girl comes closer, my heart beats faster and faster.

"Hi sir" the little girl greeted me with her warm smile. She looks and talks like my late sister, Bianca. Her long dark hair were tied into a braid, her bright eyes matched the silver dress she was wearing. Her smile, her gentle smile reminded me of the times when Bianca and I were stuck in the Lotus Casino.
"Sweetie, haven't I warned you not to talk to strangers?"

I looked up just to see her mother. She has the looks of a famous 80's actress. Her black hair tied into bun.

"Mom" I mutter

"I'm sorry boy, but what did you say?" she asked me gently

"Nothing ma'am. My name is Nico" I blurted out

"You don't need to call me formally, you can call me Mary."

"My name is Beatrice but you can call me Bea" Bianca, I mean the little girl exclaimed.

"Nice to meet you" I told the little girl. "Lo non ci posso credere" (it means I can't believe it in Italy) I heard my voice spoke.

"Tu sei italiano anche tu?"(you're Italian too?) I heard Mrs. Mary asked me with such delight.

"Si" (yes) I answered.

"Oh, è passato molto tempo da quando ho usato la mia lingua madre. Mio marito è un Americano" (Oh, it's been a long time since I've used my mother tongue. My husband is an American)

"Perché non vuoi cenare con noi? Potremmo avere una chiacchierata mentre mangiamo." (Why won't you dine with us? We could have a little chat while we eat)she asked me once more.

"sicuro" (sure)

"perfetto" she said with in front of me.

Sorry for the Italians and to my viewers if I have the language wrong as I've only did it in Google translate. Forgive me.
