Me: Wow! Thanks so much for the extra positive feedback guys! :D

This is: Creation

Nico, Rachel

Summary preview: Screw being polite.

I looked down at the piece of 'artwork' Rachel had made and was giving me for my birthday, and was desperately trying to think of something non-horrible about it.

It was a freaking rainbow painting. Rainbow. The sad part was, I didn't even know what the rainbow thing was. This was possibly the worse thing I had ever gotten.

Percy snickering in the background didn't help, nor did Annabeth's smirk. And I was pretty sure I saw a evil glint in Rachel's eyes before she blinked.

"Well? What do you think of my creation?" she asked, her voice just a hint to innocent.

They were all trying to murder me with kindness.

"Oh. Wow. How..thoug.- okay, I give up. This is the worst piece of artwork anyone has ever given me. What the Hades is it exactly? Some deformed eyeball, or something? Or cat-thing?" I asked her, finally giving up on politeness.

Percy burst out laughing, and Annabeth's smirk turned to giggles. Rachel put on a mock look of hurt.

"Thanks so much Nico." Rachel said a sarcastic edge to her voice, before frowning "You didn't have to be so blunt about it. A simple this-looks-horrible would have worked fine. No need to get all insulting. For you information this took me three days to paint with my feet, and I was rather-" a sudden overpowering twitch came over her lips, until she was laughing as hard as Percy had.

I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, okay. Percy, Annabeth, come find me when she gets a hold of herself. I'm going to go put being legally able to drink to use." I told them, and walked out of Percy's apartment.

And if the creation just happened to slide out of my fingers into a dumpster on the way out, well, accidents happen right?

Me: O_o

Yeah, this was the best thing I could come up with. Sorry. Thoughts?

Next Chapter: Childhood

This could be about anyone, considering that they pretty much have horrible childhoods. (excluding Grover and the side characters. I don't know anything about Katie, Malcom, the Stolls, Clarisse, or Chris.)

Reviews are lovely. Like really lovely. ;)
