A/N: Really short-fic. Just a conversation. Sorry about the grammar mistakes. It just came to my mind and I couldn't resist to write it down. (:

Calling Names

"You look like a crazy bitch." He said. "Relax, Beth. They will arrive in a couple of minutes."

"What?"

"I know Percy and Annabeth are late, but..."

"No." She cuted him out. "Before that."

"You look like a crazy bitch...? I'm sorry, but you do."

"No! You called me what?"

"Beth. It's your name. Rachel Elizabeth Dare."

"It's not my name, Nico." Rachel said.

"It's your second name, Beth." Nico replied.

"Don't you dare calling me like that again!"

"Why not?"

"It's my mother's name." Rachel explained.

"And it's yours, too."

"But I don't like it." She sitted down next to him. "People call my mom Beth. The name makes me think of her."

"Don't you like your mom?" Nico asked. Rachel shook her head.

"It's not like that. I do love my mother, Nico, but I don't like to be compared to her. So, please, don't call me Beth."

"What? And how should I call you?"

"Rachel? Rach? Anything but Beth."

"Hmm..." Nico took a second. "What about Liza?"

Rachel rolled her eyes. "Serious, Nico, why don't you try 'Rachel'? I think it fits ok."

"Rachel is cool, but..." He smiled playfully. "Everybody calls you Rachel. I want something more... special."

"Liza still comes from Elizabeth. It's the same as Beth."

"And what about Chechel?"

"What?"

"I think its cute."

"Nico, please, call me Rachel."

"But..." Nico started. "I'm your best friend. I have to call you in a diferent way."

"Who said you're my best friend?"

"Who said I'm not?" Nico laughed.

"So..." Rachel stared at him in disbelieve. "If you're my best friend and you have to call me with a special name, and I'm your best friend, too... That means I have to call you in a diferent way from now." She smiled. "How about Angel?"

"What?"

"It's your name. Nico di Angelo."

"It's not my name, Rach."

Rachel laughed triumphantly. "You called me Rach."

"Damn it."
