I just chose the first God(ess) that popped into my mind. the tomato idea belongs to robyn flinn. Please enjoy.

November 21st

Mirra's P.O.V

I was currently sitting on the couch, drawing a picture for school. The assignment was to draw a picture if something you find in your kitchen. I chose the silver moonlace flower sitting on the dinning room table. I tried to get every last detail on the beautiful plant, but since I had lost my silver crayon I couldn't get the color exact.

Percy was in his room asleep. He had come home late last night, looking absolutely exhausted. Mommy had asked what happened, but he only mumbled something about evil fruit then passed out. He hasn't woken up all day. Mommy and daddy are both at work.

I was sharpening my crayon in my handy dandy built in crayon sharpener when I felt a strong gust of wind hit my face and the smell of skittles filled the air.

I looked up and saw a woman in her early twenties sitting in the armchair. She had absolutely beautiful hair, the colors of the rainbow, red starting at the top merging with yellow, then orange, the red, then blue. It was long and straight, reaching her lower back. Her eyes seemed to be changing colors every second. She had on tie dye capris along with bright indigo converse. She wore a white tank top with the rainbow bash symbol on it. In her hand was a bag of skittles.

"Um..." I mumbled, confused at this woman's appearance.

"Hi!" She cheered. "Is Percy home?"

In blinked a few times, thinking how everything weird always revolves around Percy. "He's asleep right now."

"Oh, okay." She said. "Don't wake him up. I'll just wait."

She just sat there silently, finishing off her Skittles. Once they were gone, she crumpled up the bag and then it disappeared in mid air. She just continued sitting there, completely silent. It was really awkward.

"Um, miss." I stuttered shyly, breaking the silence. "I don't mean to be rude, but who are you?"

The woman smiled, then she broke into a fit of giggles. I looked at her, confused.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Iris, goddess of the rainbow!"

My eyes widdened and jaw dropped. The green crayon I was previously holding dropped to the ground. I starred. The woman in front of me was a goddess. The girl who had randomly popped up out of nowhere was a goddess. I was sitting in the same room as a goddess. I kept mentally repeating that over and over, but my brain still couldn't process what I had just heard.

"Your a goddess?"

"Yep!"

"As in, from Olympus."

"Yes!"

"Your the goddess of the rainbow?"

Iris laughed. "That's all part of it"

I sat there with my mouth opening and closing like a fish. I was shell shocked, could you blame me. I didn't know what to do in the presence of a goddess. Iris laughed at my reaction, obviously reading my expression on what I was thinking.

"Oh, don't worry." She said, waving her hand. "Don't worry 'bout it. I not real picky on how people greet me. I simple hello will do. I never did get your name, by the way."

"Oh!" I exclaimed, blushing. "Um, I'm Mirra. Percy's little sister...er...mortal sister."

Iris grinned. "Ah, okay, nice ta meet you." She leaned back in her chair and kicked her leg up over her knee. "So, where are your mom and dad?"

"Mommy's has a meeting with her editor and daddy's working Saturday detention."

"Ah, so it's just you and your brother." Iris moved a stray piece of hair from her eyes.

"Um, miss Iris." Iris turned her attention to me, a smile still plastered on her cheek. "I'm sorry if this sounds rude, but what do you need with my brother?"

"To apologize."

"Apologize?"

"Yeah!" She moved to a more comfortable position by sitting up straighter and crossed her legs. "For the tomato incident yesterday".

"Tomato incident?"

Iris nodded. "Yeah, didn't Percy tell you?" I shook my head.

"Oh, that's quiet a story" Iris jumped up from the armchair and plopped down on the couch next to me. "See, yesterday, my children wanted to get back at Ares' kids for making fun of rainbow dash." She motioned to her shirt. "Anyway, they teamed up with two of Hermes sons, Connor and Travis I think, and stoll some of Demeters kids tomatoes from their garden. Then they had Hecates kids make a potion to make the tomatoes grow legs. See, the idea was was to throw them at the Ares kids when they trained, then the tomatoes were supposed to steal their weapons. But something went wrong and they turned evil. The tomatoes developed a strong taste for seafood. Percy had been at the training arena at the time, so the tomatoes attacked him and tried to eat him."

"Oh..." I nodded. Surprisingly, I wasn't that surprised with all the weird things that happened around Percy. I actually found it sort of funny. "Do things like that happened often?"

"Oh, yeah!" Iris looked down at the table to my drawing. "Oh, that's pretty."

"thanks." I said. "It's for school. It's supposed to be a picture of the moonlace." I pointed to the kitchen table.

"Oh, cool. But you know the peddles are silver, right."

"I know, but I lost my silver crayon."

"Oh, here." She held out her pointer finger.

"Your finger?" She nodded. I shrugged and took her finger and held it like I would a crayon. Placing it on the paper, I brought it around the flower. As if from her finger, a beautiful silver color colored in the area of the flower.

"Whoa!" I exclaimed.

Iris smiled. "Colors are my specialty. Do you want some skittles?"

"Um, sure, I guess."

Iris snapped her fingers. Above the table, a bag of skittles appeared and fell into my hands. The bag appeared to be glowing a rainbow light.

"Go on," Iris erdged. "Try 'em

I opened the bag. The skittles smelled really good. I took a handful of skittles and stuffed them in my mouth. They were delicious, juicy and sweet, nice and chewy as a dozen flavors danced inside my mouth.

"It's good!" I exclaimed.

"Well I should hope so." Iris said. "I made them myself."

I blinked. "Really?"

Iris started to laugh as she leaned back into a pillow. "Who do you think invented skittles?"

"Whoa! Seriously!"

Iris nodded. "A lot of God's have invented things that you mortals use. I trust you already know that Athena invented the chariot and Poseidon invented horses."

I nodded. "Yeah, that's why Percy got into an argument with a horse last time we went to a petting zoo."

"Well, those are the things you know about. What you don't know is that Hermes invented the internet. And Aphrodite invented chocolate. That's why you see people giving chocolates to their lovers on Valentine's day, which is actually Aphrodite birthday." She took a breath then continued. "And I invented Skittles"

"hmm." I pondered. "But I thought it was made by some candy company."

Iris giggled and poked my nose. "Thats what I wanted you to think."

We both laughed. Then we heard the door leading to the staircase open up. Percy walked out, still in his torn up jeans and shredded grey T-shirt. He was rubbing his eyes in the middle of a yawn.

"Percy!" Iris exclaimed, jumping over the couch. She ran up and hugged him, catching him by surprise since he just woke up.

"L-lady Iris?" He asked. Iris giggled.

"Just Iris, Percy." She said. "Nice to see ya awake."

"Just barely" Percy said, yawning. "So, what do you need la...Iris."

"Oh, I wanted to apologize for the tomatoes yesterday."

Percy smiled. "Oh, that's fine, it's not your fault."

"Yeah, well...it was my idea."

"What?" Percy asked, perking up.

Iris giggled and skipped over to me. She gave me a quick hug.

"Well, I got to go!" She cheered. "Mirra, if you ever lose anymore crayons, give me a call!" And with that, she snapped her fingers and disappeared.
