%Obsidians Point of View%

"Ha! I love chase!" I shouted as Rachel ran in front of me. With it being just the two of us, we were either doing training, or just having fun. It never bothered me that I was never naturally born into this world. It never affected my training. Rachel told me that I had almost died in the chamber, so im thankful im alive, even if I wasn't supposed to happen.

"Comon, Obsidian, move faster! Remember what I taught you!" Rachel called over her shoulder. Ive always loved Rachels voice, it was sweet, but had a touch of seriousness to it. Her voice, and my voice, were both genetically altered to be good singers. Rachel changed her voice gene when she was in her late 20s. Now shes in her early 30's.

Oh gosh. Im getting lost in thought again..

Mentally slapping myself for getting lost in thought like that, I sped up, slowly gaining on her as we jumped over long dead fallen trees and under branches, the leaves and twigs of the forest breaking under our feet. Moving faster? Ha, I was just going easy.

Suddenly, Rachel bolted to the left, when I expected her to turn to the right. False moves, I hate it when she does that! I skid to a stop in the middle of my turn and go to the left side rather then the right, which I had been turning towards.

Turning the corner, I almost lost sight of Rachel if it wasnt for the flouresent pink scarf she wore. I keep telling her its bad for stealthiness, but she just dismisses it, saying that there is things that need to be done. Mid run, I jump and slide over a dead log covered in moss, but with few mushrooms. The dirt at its roots were overturned, must have ment it fell over after the last rainfall.

Almost there...! Catching up to Rachel, I reach out a hand and bolt faster, tackling her to the ground, both of us laughing.

"You got me again Obsidian! Those genes sure are taking effect!" Rachel announced to me, and I found myself beaming with pride. Funny, I never do that. Im more of the 'eh, alright' kind of person.

"What can I say? You made me that way!" And so, i start singing one of my favorite songs, Born this way. Rachel and I started danceing and Rachel became the backup singer.

It doesn't matter if you love him or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up
'Cause you were born this way, baby

My mama told me when I was young
We are all born superstars
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
In the glass of her boudoir

There's nothin' wrong with lovin' who you are
She said, 'cause He made you perfect, babe
So hold your head up,
girl and you'll go far
Listen to me when I say

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way, born this way

Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way

Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen

Give yourself prudence and love your friends
Subway kid, rejoice of truth
In the religion of the insecure
I must be myself, respect my youth

A different lover is not a sin
Believe capital H-I-M
I love my life, I love this record and
Mi amore vole fe yah

I'm beautiful in my way,
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret,
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way

Don't be drag, just be a queen
Whether you're broke or evergreen
You're black, white, beige, chola descent
You're Lebanese, you're orient

Whether life's disabilities
Left you outcast, bullied or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
'Cause baby, you were born this way

No matter gay, straight or bi
Lesbian, transgendered life
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born to survive

No matter black, white or beige
Chola or orient made
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born to be brave

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret,
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way, yeah

Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way
I was born this way, hey
I was born this way, hey
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way, hey

I was born this way, hey
I was born this way, hey
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way, hey

We both kept dancing for a bit after we stopped singing, but Rachel became exausted. She was never the one to have a lot of stamina.

"Tired yet, Rachel?" She was also never one to give up easily.

"Never!" Rachel cries out, laughing as something cold hits my nose. Snow? I shook it off, looking up at the sky. It was snow all right. It was also starting to come down fast. "Hey." Rachel says, waving a hand in front of my face, making me snap back to attension. "Its going to snow hard. We should go back inside."

I nod, standing up and helping Rachel up, and we both started to jog towards our house.

Its not what you expect for a 'mad' scientist to live in with her creation. (A/N reminds me of Frankenstien in a way.) It was a somewhat aged house that was single story, and built of logs from trees. I believe Rachel called it a 'log cabin'. Walking up the steps to open the door, Rachel looked around.

"Obsidian, keep an eye out for me, will you?" Rachel called. I snapped out of my thoughts again. What was it with me lately? I am acting like something big is about to happen, but what? I hate it when I don't know these things...

"Sure." I spin on my heels, looking out behind us, into the woods, as Rachel opened the door, tugging me inside.

"Say Obsidian," Rachel began. "for your creation day, I prepared a little suprise for you that I have been working on. How would you like...

a BROTHER!"
