"Make up your mind Dr. Hendrickson!" Dr. Dreyfus shouted. The fetus sat in the viscous yellow liquid as the white haired man thought about the three questions.
"I've decided. One of the two good attributes will be kindness. Very kind. The next one will be, handsomeness. He will have a childlike complexion but at the same time, be quite.... Mature." Dr. Hendrickson put a hand on his chin, his bright blue eyes narrowing.
"Two bad things?" Dr. Dreyfus asked. Hendrickson smiled and snapped his fingers.
"He will have terrible social anxiety and he will have opposite personalities. One bad, one good." Hendrickson nodded, approving his choices.
"Two random qualities?" Dr. Dreyfus questioned. Dr. Hendrickson stared at the white wall, heart monitors and other machines beeping in the background.
"Make him extremely powerful. And give him wild blonde hair with the greenest eyes you can imagine."

-MELIODAS POV-
"Meliodas! Come on, you've got to open this door!" My mother screamed at me. I shoved my head further into my pillow, shaking my head.
"You know what will happen!" I yelled back. The rapid pounding stopped, and I heard a quiet sigh. I heard my mother's bare feet on the bamboo floor as she walked away. She whispered something.
"What did ya say mother?!" I yelled. I hated when she didn't tell me things.
"I said I didn't want to do this, Meliodas. But I'm getting the pork." She replied. I shot straight up from the bed, but I already heard those damn trotters against the floor. And the door fell down and Hawk jumped onto my stomach.
"Dammit, mom!" I yelled, shoving the pig off of me. I sighed, and got out of bed and stretched my arms back, satisfyingly hearing bones crack in my back and shoulders.
"Well, here I go, Hawk! Wish me luck!" I smiled as I hopped out of bed. I headed over to my small closet and grabbed my school uniform, a black blazer with a white top and a blood red tie, with black pants to match. Brushing my teeth, I dreadingly grabbed the hairbrush.
"Alright you damn monster, I'm bringing you down today," I muttered, and started brushing my hair. I slowly made my way through the knots, cringing at each tug. I brushed the two little strands left standing on my head, but when the brush left my head, they sprang up like a hare from a rabbit hole in spring. I could almost hear the comical boing. I continued brushing them, knowing it was completely pointless, but I increasingly got more pissed off. Finally sighing and acknowledging it wouldn't happen, I ran out of my room, down the stairs and into my seat at the breakfast table. Hawk had cleared his bowl of scraps and was now helping me with my meal.
"Hawk, you greedy pig! Back off! This is my food!" I shouted as the happy, fat pig clambered onto my lap. My eye twitched. "HAWK!" I yelled, and threw him through the front door. Luckily, it was open. Don't need a new one for the tenth time. This year.
"Eat that and get out of here, you're going to be late!" My mother scolded, and started shoving food into my mouth with a big spoon. I ran out the door as fast I could, I couldn't stand it when she did that. "Bye mom!" I yelled, waving. She stood in the doorway and offered me an encouraging smile and a small wave. But we both knew that wouldn't stop what would happen today at my high school.

-ELIZABETH POV-
"Elizabeth, are you ready to go?" Veronica asked me. I combed out the last knot in my hair and twirled around in my new uniform. I squealed quietly in excitement as I opened my bedroom door.
"Let's go!" I yelled, grinning. I sprinted out of the front door and leapt into the limousine, still smiling. Veronica huffed and sat beside me while Margret silently sat down and placed her hands on her lap.
"All ready to go?" Gilthunder asked from the front with a small smile-a rare thing-I nodded and he turned back around and hit the gas.
"Come on, go Veronica!" I whined. Veronica was taking as long as she could to get out of the car, and it was driving me insane. Finally losing my cool, I gave her a small shove, and she tumbled out. Luckily, her guard, Griamore, caught her before she fell.
"I'll get you back, Ellie!" She said with a smirk. But I was already running toward the grand marble building in front of me. The white pillars held up the overhang at the front while the north frieze depicted grand battles against demons. I was staring up at the building that I wasn't looking where I was going, and suddenly, I didn't have my feet on the ground. I gasped and shut my eyes as I waited for the impact, but nothing came. Slowly, I opened my eyes, to be met with the most dazzling green pair of eyes I had ever seen. They were frightfully close, and our noses were almost touching. As soon as I opened my eyes, the pair in front of me widened, a look of pure fear flashing through them. Before I knew it, I was on my own two feet and all I could see of the person who caught me was shaggy blonde hair disappearing into the massive doorway ahead.
"Princess Elizabeth! Are you alright?" Gilthunder asked, jogging over. I nodded, sending him a smile.
"A princess?"
"Is she new?"
"I didn't know a princess went here!"
"She's so pretty! I can't compete with that! Let alone the other two that must be her royal sisters!"
I heard all the comments and I nervously spun around in my spot. Slowly, out of the gathering crowd, a small boy looking the age of twelve emerged. He had bright copper hair and shining gold eyes. Behind him was a very tall, yet pretty girl with dark brown hair in pigtails and sharp purple eyes. Next to them, stood two boys, one with snow-white hair and blazing crimson eyes. A shorter boy with long pink hair stood next to him, smart Amber eyes and glasses to go along with the know-it-all vibe. The boy with the white hair walked forward a crooked, fanged smile forming onto his face.
"Hey there, Princess! Name's Ban, that giant there is Diane, the short tiny one is King, and that's Gowther," pointing at the each person. "Wouldja like to join us for lunch?" He asked. My eyes grew wide at the invitation. My sister told me this is what they did at school with their friends. They hang out. So I said the first thing that came to mind obviously.
"Like friends do?!" I clasped my hands together, a hopeful smile on my face. Bans smile grew wider.
"Yeah! Is that a yes?" He asked.
"Yes!"
