I've Never Met Anyone Like You

Summary: So, the books never really explained how Poseidon and Sally met, so I thought, what the hey? How about I write a fanfiction on it? So here it is!

"What can I get you today?" I asked. The couple looked up at me.

"Um...how much can we get with..." the woman started, pulling coins out of her pockets. Her boyfriend started pulling money out of his too.

"We have five dollars!" the male announced finally. I liked his hat. It was a Yankees hat.

"Well...there's pie. You can get two pieces of any type of pie....and some milk," I offered.

"Are you sure it's exactly five dollors? With taxes?"

"Well..no. The taxes would make it almost six," I said.

"Then, only one piece," the guy said. "What do you want?" he asked her.

"Oh no, you take the piece!" the girl answered. "I couldn't!"

"No." he said firmly. "I'll just fill up on milk."

"How about I knock off the extra dollar?" I asked them politely.

"Really? Oh thank you!" the woman exclaimed, throwing her arms around me.

"No problem! What kind of pie do you want?" I asked them.

"Strawberry!" the woman said, sitting back down.

"Strawberry and..."

"Oreo."

"Alrighty. I'll get that and those milks for you," I said. The girl smiled big at me, but I suddenly couldn't smile back. I hurried to the back counter to get their milks.

"Are you alright, honey?" Jessie asked me.

"I'm fine...it's just...did you notice something...weird about that girl over there?" I asked her. Jessie looked at me funny.

"You mean besides the fact that I'm getting the feeling that five dollars is all the money she has and she's using it on pie and milk? No, I don't notice anything,"' Jessie said. "Are you feeling okay?"

"Yeah...just...tired I guess. The night shift is always so brutal on me. Not to mention the weather," I said, trying to laugh it off. Trying to laugh off the fact that that girl over there looked like one of those ancient Greek wood nymphs.

"You've got another customer," Jessie said, pointing to one of my other tables. I did a double-take. For a second, he looked different. Unlike anything I've seen before. I hurried over. I was struck by how beautiful the man was. Not, handsome, per say, but beautiful, like one of the Greek gods.

"Can I help you?" I asked him. He smiled at me.

"If you can get me some coffee, I'd really appreciate it. If you could also get me some warm fries, I may just ask you to marry me," he kidded. He had a beautiful smile. His eyes glowed bright, deep sea-green when he talked.

"Alright, I'll be right back" I smiled at him. I went back to get the milks for the couple. I walked over to their table.

"I'm just waiting on the strawberry pie and then I'll have those for you," I said, smiling. The girl looked at me.

"You know what I am, don't you?" she asked.

"I'm sure I don't know what your talking about."

"Yes you do. You know I'm a dryiad. Can you answer me this: that waitress over there, Jessie, what do you see?" she asked. Her boyfriend looked at me.

"I..I...sometimes...I see...a face. Such a horrible face. I don't understand it," I whispered. "But I've learned to ignore it. It's better that way," I said.

"You're in danger. So are we. When's your shift over?" the male asked me. I looked him over. I noticed something funny about him. His hat seemed to stick up off his head a bit. I leaned in just a bit. I noticed something sticking up. They looked like...NO!

"You...You're a...my shift's over in about ten minutes," I said finally.

"Come with us," the dryiad said. I looked at them. Their true faces weren't as scary as Jessie's. I shook my head once then said out loud: "Yeah, we have free refills."

"Great," the male...or satyr...whatever...said.

I walked back to the counter to pour the other man's cup of coffee. I brought it over to the man.

"Would it be impolite to ask what your name is?" he asked.

"No it wouldn't and my name is Sally," I said. He smiled.

"Sally. That's a pretty name."

"What's yours?"

"Poseidon."

"Like the Greek Sea God? You know, he was always my favorite. Everyone liked Zeus, but I thought he was overrated. I mean what fair ruler cheats on his wife every other day?" I told him. Poseidon smiled, dazzling me to no end.

"Yeah, I always thought that Zeus should keep it in his pants and stay home with his wife. Poseidon always seemed like the god that had it right to me," he said, laughing, like he just told some funny joke. The sky lit up as a lightning bolt hit somewhere. He laughed some more.

"Well, I'm going to see if those fries are ready yet," I told him, going back to the counter.

"Don't get mixed up again," Jessie said. I looked at her.

"I'm not. I don't even know the guy's last name!" I retorted. She smiled at me.

"I just don't want to see you get hurt again."

"Pies are ready!" the cook called.

"Thanks Alfredo!" I yelled, grabbing the plates. I walked over to the dryiad and satyr.

"Thanks! Oh, I just love strawberries, don't you?!" she squealed.

"Mm-hmm," he said, his mouth already filled.

"Enjoy."

"Fries are ready, senora!" Alfredo called. I walked over to the window and brought the plate over to Poseidon. He was staring intently at Jessie.

"Here are your fries, sir," I said.

"What's that girl's name?" he asked me. My heart sank. Guys always preferred Jessie over me, I just hoped that this time would be different.

"Jessie."

"Okay," he looked at me again. He seemed to interpret my mood perfectly because he smiled and said: "Well, she's got nothing on you." I blushed deeply.

"Is there anything else I could get you?" I asked him.

"Well..." he started. He closed his eyes suddenly. When he opened them, he seemed to be having some kind of battle within himself. "Do you live anywhere around here?" he asked.

"I live on Avenue A," I told him.

"Maybe I'll stop by later," he said, smiling. My heart started to get all fluttery.

"Okay," I said, smiling. I floated back to the back counter.

"SALLY!" I heard Jessie scream from the freezer. "I can't find the hamburger meat!" I ran back there to help her.

"It's-" I stopped. She only had one face now. And that face had fangs. One of her legs was made of metal. "Oh my gosh! You're a...a...a..." I couldn't finish my sentence. So I screamed as loud as I could. Jessie lunged at me, her teeth bared. This is it. I'm going to die. Jessie grabbed me and brought her face to my neck...
