"Bianca! Thalia! I know you're in there! Open up!" Percy called out, hammering his knuckles on the Hades cabin door harshly. Thalia let out a groan. "Go away, Kelp Head!"

She screamed at him, Bianca safely wrapped in her arms. Her body folding comfortably, Thalia spooning her.

"Chiron wants you!" Percy shouted at the two. Bianca sighed, rolling her eyes she spoke.

"We'll be there in a minute! We just have something to do first!"

"Okay," Percy told her in annoyance, then left quickly. His face red as he thought dirtily of what "something" was.

"Cold beers! Get them fresh, get them wet!" Rem called out from behind the counter. Her uniform had changed from what it had once been. Now it was just an apron over a pair of high waisted, black shorts. Then, an amethyst colored shirt. The sleeves ending at her mid arm. Covering her shoulders, but leaving her collarbones untouched.

Her shoes were a pair of black converse. Nothing particularly special for work. Her hair pulled back messily. Her hands holding a beer, the water dripping off of the bottle slowly starting to run down her arm. Chilling her wrist as she started to walk around.

"I'll take one!" A man hollered, his dark brown eyes glaring at Rem as she quickly handed Thalia the beer. Thalia, having been followed her, stared at Rem for a minute. "Section 3, table 7." Rem ordered sternly, then looked out to the crowd of drunken, tipsy, or even vomiting people. Men and women alike showing minimal respect, or acknowledgment, towards the workers.

"Sure." Thalia answered. Her tone was unenthusiastic and the daughter of Zeus had a frown on her face. Rem ignored Thalia's sour expression and walked off. Water dripping from her elbow into a trail on the floor.

"Hello pretty lady!" A women exclaimed, watching as her pig of a friend grinned. His eyes trained on the beer Rem had handed off to Thalia. Thalia did her best to smile through her grimace of disgust, adding a forced laugh as she handed the woman the beer.

As soon as the beer touched the hands of the nameless person, Thalia walked off. Speed walking past the tables, eyes searching for Bianca.

"Thalia!" A voice rang out, making the daughter of Zeus turn. A real smile was on Thalia's face as Bianca came into view. The italienne (a/n: I just put it in French. Whoops! Oh well!) sliding up to Thalia's waist and pulling her into a hug. "Hey you!" Thalia giggled, kissing Bianca's cheek.

Bianca grinned and pulled out two cards from her apron. "I'll be right back," Bianca explained, "I have to turn in our cards and we'll be off work!" They we're both happy, walking together to a dirty table. The table had no seats, and only had a machine on it.

The machine was covered in a rusty glint, and it had several iron pockets. One per person, all of them in the slots when the bar was closed. Bianca quickly slipped in the two cards, and watched as the iron pockets moved hesitantly. Closing in on the cards to make sure the cards were kept firmly inside.

"Let's go!"

"Let's go!" Bianca said as she threw Thalia a clean shirt. Thalia groaned as she was pulled from the memory and then looked at Bianca. "Five more minutes?" She suggested, rolling out of bed. Bianca shook her head as she let out a careless laugh.

"We'll be late." Bianca warned playfully, watching as Thalia put on the new shirt and shimmied out of her sweatpants. Bianca blushed and looked away as soon as she saw the elastic strap of Thalia's underwear.

Thalia grinned as Bianca looked away, shaking her head as she picked up some jeans off the floor.

"This clean?" Bianca asked, turning as she showed Thalia a dark grey shirt. Thalia nodded as she buttoned the jeans, Bianca taking her tank-top off to reveal a light brown bra.

"Wow Bia, showing so much skin this early in the morning! I'll have to arrest you!" Thalia joked, making Bianca's face turn an interesting shade of red. Thalia was then "rewarded" with a tank top thrown roughly to the face.

Thalia chucked it off and threw a pair of lavender shorts at Bianca. Bianca caught them one handedly, without even having to turn around.

"Thank you." Bianca said as she pulled them on. Thalia slipping on a pair of flats as Bianca pulled on socks and a pair of boots.

"Ready?" Thalia questioned. Bianca gave a mute nod.

"Let's see what Chiron has to say about us this time." Bianca said with a mock sigh. Thalia just kissed her forehead, "Come on, we'll be late." She shushed, opening the door.
