DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN PJO AND HOO! RICK RIORDAN DOES

Long Recap

The blood drained from my face as Treddon proceeded to uncap the bottle and pour the contents into Will's glass of water. Harry was also pouring the love potion in Nico's Happy Meal milk, which was right beside Will's.

"Sold out folks! Come again tomorrow!" Michelle announced. I made eye contact with her for a moment, pleading her not to. Her face turned beet red and she ran to the Aphrodite table like a cheetah. I turned to the Apollo table. Will and Nico haven't touched their glasses yet. I started to wonder if this was just a hoax. That's when my brother John bounced from his seat, his eyes tinted pink. He turned to Layla, his face looking distant and dreamy.

"Layla! My love!" He cried, racing towards her. She embraced him with a kiss, winking, and Michelle. My blood boiled with jealousy. I turned back to the Apollo table. Will was holding his cup to his lips, drinking his water. And Nico was gulping down his Happy Meal milk. Uh oh.

Continuation of Story

Will and Nico put down their drinks. I stared in horror as a dreamy look overtook their faces. I expected them to just jump up and run to Harry and Treddon. That actually didn't happen. The two looked around and just FELL ASLEEP. That's right. The two boys just fell asleep! Was the love potion supposed to do that? Treddon began to panic and ran over to Michelle, who was still sitting at the Aphrodite table. I noticed she was standing though, holding a bottle of love potion. But the bottle she held was empty. Huh.

"Why did my boyfriend sleep?" He demanded to know. Harry glared at Michelle.

"Well, if he was already in a relationship... he's either dying or fighting the effects." She said nonchalantly, sitting down and eating a burger. Treddon's eyes widened.

"WHAT?!" He cried. Harry looked as if he could spit out any drink in his mouth at that moment. 

"Hard cold truth boys." She said sarcastically, looking back down at her food. I sighed and looked back at the snoring boys.

"How do you reverse the effects?" I asked. Michelle looked surprised that I was asking her this question.

"Y-you don't." She said quietly. I almost spat out my imaginary milk. So John was in love with Layla forever? I didn't want or need to accept that. I looked around. Jamaica Rally was staring at Trevor Lee West, who eyes Harry's drink carefully. Then Jamaica took a sip of her drink and the dreamy look on her face was instant. She rushed to John, who was hugging and twirling her. 

"John! John! Oh, I love you John!" She shouted. Jamaica's siblings looked at her in shock, not expecting this to happen. I noticed the seven, who had been sitting at the Poseidon table the whole time and escaping my eyes, pushing their drinks away cautiously. Almost everyone else did the same. I decided to keep mine. No one likes me anyway, so what's the point? It's not like I'll ever have a girlfriend anytime soon.

"Gah!" Will shouted, startling the entire pavilion. Will was waking up sleepily. Nico as well. They were slumped next to each other, the dreamy look unidentifiable on their faces. I couldn't see the boys' eyes, and they hadn't looked around the pavilion yet. It was only a matter of time now. Unless they succumbed to Michelle's potion, they would still be fine. They both turned. No pink. Yet they both still looked like they were struggling. Nico lay eyes on Harry and sweat started pouring down. Will as well. The pavilion was looking at them. Jason looked ready to murder Harry and Treddon. I could tell Will and Nico were still fighting the potion. 

"Why is it so potent?" I asked Michelle. She looked down.

"I-I asked my mom for it. A reward." She replied. I didn't want to know what she did to get the potion. All I knew that this was worthy of a god's love. Would Nico and Will be enough? I stared. The summer heat held its breath, and Apollo stopped in the sky. They still looked at Harry and Treddon. Then they eased. The potion effects were lifting! They were resisting! As long as nothing toppled them over the edge...

"Will, you know you love me." Treddon said. His voice... he was using charmspeak. Dam you, Aphrodite! Will's head snapped up, and I was afraid he would go running. His foot took one trembling step. I shuddered. He took another step. It was even shakier than the last one. I caught a grin on his face. His steps eased. He walked towards Treddon.

"So... kiss me?" Treddon asked. Will looked Treddon straight in the eye and did the most satisfying thing ever: He punched him. Right in the cheek. He then punched the poor son of Aphrodite in the nose and walked away, unaffected by the love potion now. But Nico still sat in between. With nothing to ease the love potion or the push him over, he was stuck in the middle of Harry and Will.

"YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO BREAK UP SOLANGELO?!" Jason shouted, flying straight at Harry like a fighter jet. Harry, with jumped back in fright as Jason came closer through the air, his voice magnified by thunderclaps.

"Go Jase!" Piper shouted. Percy whistled and Annabeth clapped. Frank and Hazel would've cheered too if they hadn't been at Camp Jupiter. Leo, however, lit himself on fire and ran straight at Harry.

"CYA SUCKER, MCSHIZZLE EN LA CASA!" Leo screamed in Spanish.

(A/N That means this:

CYA SUCKER, MCSHIZZLE IN THE HOUSE!"

it's just Leo)

Harry screamed and INCREDIBLY girly scream and ran off screaming, shouting about fire boy and storms. Nico snapped out of it, and looked around urgently. Will laughed and embraced Nico, kissing the latter. Now to wake John up. I stumbled over to the two arguing girls and John, who wasn't attached to Layla anymore. He was looking between the two. 

"How do you break the spell Michelle?" I asked said person. She was standing next to me, clutching her ponytail.

"Y-you..." She began. But she faltered.

"Mom's going to kill me." She whimpered. I hugged her.

"Please Michelle. Please." I said desperately. Her light brown hands were wet with tears and mascara. She hid her ocean-blue eyes behind her arm.

"I didn't mean for this." She said.

"We know you didn't. Just please give us the antidote." I replied. She stopped sniffling and looked up at me. She reached into her pocket and handed a small green vial. I smiled and poured three cups of the stuff. I handed it to each of them.

"Guys, just take a break and drink some water." I said. They agreed, much to my surprise, and drank up. The pink tint faded, and they stared at me dizzily, wondering what the Hades just happened. Other campers began to ask for the antidote, to which I poured more cups. The crisis ended, and the two wimps were now hated and hunted by Jason and Leo daily. I'm still a single person, but I'd rather be single than go through THAT again.
