A/N: This author gave me so many ideas, and all of them were unique and very well thought of. This is one of them. I slightly changed this idea, but it was still wonderful. Thank you KatieElizabethGrace. And I might use more of them in the future.
My beta reader Darknesse Sidhe is not here right now, so I have to beta read this chapter by myself. My number one error in writing is mixing up the past tense and present tense words with each other. So please excuse those.
Disclaimer: It's obvious that I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and The Heroes of Olympus, but Rick Riordan does. The only things I own are my OC's and this fanfic.
Even though it's hurtful and absolutely obnoxious when Drew insults everyone, but that doesn't mean that her compliments are any better. Trust me. I know it sounds silly and in your mind, you might go all, "Drew can compliment nicely? Wow, that's gotta be good!" But really, no. It all started one day when Drew decided to be nice for once. Just in case you were wondering, no, her compliments weren't a part of her charmspeak. It was a mystery why she decided to be nice, but everyone suspected that there was something in the potion that she drank. But still, she would compliment and insult you at the same time, you would still want to kill her. I guess she will always have some bratty spots, no matter what magic potion she drinks.
So anyway, her first 'compliment' was to Annabeth. Drew had lost her lipstick and she figured that it had slipped out of her pocket when she was in the Athena cabin. So she walked outside, still in her hot pink silk pajamas and pink diamond slippers, and knocked on the door of the Athena cabin. The door opened, revealing a very exhausted Annabeth. Under her eyes were unattractive purple eyebags, her stormy gray eyes darker than usual, her clothes messed up, and her blond locks limp.
"Yes?" she asked sleepily.
"Hi, Annabeth! May I come in to look for my lipstick?" Drew bursted out.
The confused daughter of Athena stared at her blankly, for her unexpected enthusiasm. "Um, okay but make it quick. I don't want you to make a lot of noise and wake up my brothers and sisters."
Drew nodded without arguement and strolled inside the cabin. She turned to face Annabeth and smiled at her. "You look nicer than usual!"
"Excuse me? I couldn't sleep all night because of my headache, which had caused these bags to appear and made myself look a mess... and you say that I look nicer than usual?! So what are you trying to say? That my normal look is-"
"Annabeth, calm down. You'll wake your siblings!" Drew said.
The gray eyed girl slapped her hand against her forehead, and shook her head.
Drew added, "And besides, take it as a compliment! You look like you just got a bad hair day, but I still said something nice about it to make you feel better! Even though those eyebags make you look like you want to kill someone."
"That's it, I don't care about your lipstick, get out!" she demanded as she pushed Drew toward the exit and slammed the door.
Drew frowned but said nothing. For once, she didn't care about makeup.
Later that day, she saw Piper sitting on her bed in the Aphrodite cabin. She was sharpening her blade, but stopped when Drew sat beside her. Piper twitched and raised her blade. "You do remember that I can use this."
Drew gasped. "Why do you want to kill me? I didn't do anything to you!" I guess it's obvious that she didn't remember that she was a snob that time. "I think you're very pretty," she added.
Piper raised an eyebrow. "Drew, either you're sick, or just want something from me."
"What are you talking about? You are, I mean it! I really like your hair, but it would look prettier if you part it to the right. Then all of the boys will drool over you!"
Piper smiled at her for the first time. "Thank you."
"Oh and you might want to lose that hideous necklace. It doesn't look good with your pretty face," Drew told as she pointed at the silver star pendant with a dull shine.
Piper's smile melted. "My dad gave this to me. How dare you insult it!" she screamed.
The black haired daughter of Aphrodite backed away as her half sister pulled out her dagger again. "Please keep that away from me!" she begged as she ran out of the Aphrodite cabin.
Piper had been chasing Drew around the cabin area for about five minutes, but Piper stopped following her after Drew ran towards the strawberry fields. Drew looked back and sighed with relief. She had no idea why everyone was so grouchy when all she did was gave them compliments. The hurt Aphrodite girl pressed her lips together.
"Um, Drew?"
The voice startled Drew, and she looked up to see the face of Katie Gardner. "Yeah?"
"You're stepping on the strawberries," the daughter of the agriculture goddess explained slowly.
Drew looked down and gasped. She carefully stepped off of them and turned to face Katie. "Please accept my apology, you grow such delicious strawberries," she apologized.
Katie cocked her head and raised an eyebrow. "You want something from me, Drew? If you lost your lipstick, then that's your problem."
She shook her head. "No, I mean it. You Demeter kids are such hard workers. Even though you can work too hard and turn grumpy sometimes. Like you for example!"
Katie really wasn't in the mood to argue with the beauty queen, so she placed her hand on Drew's shoulder and the other against her back. "Come on Drew, I'll take you to back to your cabin."
And with that, she took Drew back to the Aphrodite cabin, as the potion began to wear off.
A/N: What do you think? Please stay tuned for chapter nine.
