Percy's pov:
After that night of shenanigans I never thought I could sleep but there I was snoring on top of a peaceful crybaby. I looked at the time: it was 7:50 in the morning breakfast started at eight! I shook crybaby awake yelling in her ear to wake up. "OH LORD PERCY DID YOU HAVE TO WAKE ME UP?" crybaby screamed. I pointed to the time. "It's 7:05 dumbass" crybaby scolded as she tucked herself back to sleep. I checked the time. She was right. I went to mark my calendar, oops it was a Saturday. On weekends breakfast was at nine. I remembered there was something significant about this day, Of course! It was the dance later this evening I decided to put out my dress. It was a pink ball gown with poofy sleeves and a beautiful gemstone covered corset I also had matching shoes. I did come from a rich family and I had a great plan. Kelly had not stopped bragging about her dress which was half as decent as anyone's so when I get to the dance I'll show her what a real dress is. I'd also bought a dress for crybaby. She was like my sister because we spent way too much time together. Even more time that I would spend with my parents. Speaking of them I worried. Ever since I left I had this gut feeling that something would go wrong. My parents fought a lot. They fought about how their relation ship wasn't serious and they even fought about divorce. And maybe it's my childhood imagination playing with me but I heard things shatter every now and then. God knows what's been happening with them. I thought of all the possibilities as I laid out crybaby's dress. I sigh to my self in satisfaction as I go to wake crybaby up. "Hey crybaby you have to wake up know" I nudge her as she slowly opens her eyes. "Remember today's the dance." I say as she jerks up. "Holy shit I don't have a dress! What am I gonna do?!" Crybaby starts to walk around the room I wait for her to stop at the dresses. "Wait why are there two? Percy did you..." I smile as crybaby gives me the tightest hug ever. "PERCY THANK YOU SO MUCH IM SO LUCK TO HAVE AN AMAZING FRIEND LIKE YOU!" Crybaby squealed and jumped and well went crazy. Today all the buzz was about the dance. Love letters and flowers and crying and laughter was a common theme every 5 seconds. Kelly kept on bragging about her stupid lemon coloured dress. The best part thought was no one cared. What was better is that Brandon (Kelly's "boyfriend") asked Lucy (Kelly's friend) to the dance. As we walked along the school we saw Kelly's gang come up to us. The thing was Kelly wasn't there. "Hey we know we've caused you some trouble but Kelly forced us to do all these things." One girl said. "And if you know Kelly, she's a scary girl and we did as she said, unwillingly of course." Lucy said. "We just want to apologise and we want nothing to do with Kelly so if it isn't much could you forgive us?" Some other girl said as they looked at us. "Of course! That girl is out of her mind! She deserves no one!" Crybaby said. "Yeah and honestly I understand people aren't very nice so we forgive you!" I told them as the rest nodded in agreement. We saw Leo walk by as he gave crybaby a smirk. As we turned to look at her we saw her blush and giggle. Wired I guess. A bell had then rang as one of the loud speakers told everybody to get their supposed "groove" on. "Alright ladies, it's time." Celeste says as we dash to our dorms to get our dresses. As we walk in all eyes are one mine as my beautiful pink dress embellished with pearls and lace. Kelly looks furious as she proceeds to storm towards me when I point to Lucy and Brandon dancing happily. While she goes of on them the rest of us walk in. "This place is beautiful wouldn't you say?" Magnolia said in which Celeste responded with "It'll make some beautiful ashes." We all giggle at the statement while exploring the room.

Crybaby's pov:
I step inside as I see dancing and laughing and singing. Some guy spills some punch on the floor as I walk in. I look ahead to see a rather angry or disappointed friend group walk towards me. "There is no way in hell you had enough time to get rid of Leo!" Celeste huffed. "Shouldn't you be up there right now?" Fleur said. Right, I didn't tell them about Leo. "Look, I got asked to the dance by Leo." I told my friends as they gaped in shock and disbelief. "Girl! You let that monster manipulate you?" Celeste shouted. "Yeah I thought we were getting out of here for good!" Magnolia chimed in. "Look I'm sorry! I don't know I guess I was-" i was cut off by Elita "being selfish." The thing that hurt me most tough, the way Percy had said nothing and just looked so disappointed in me. "You know what? Forget it!" I stroked off while dropping my glass on the floor causing it to shatter. "Wait!" Elita cried as I was no longer visible. I stop at the hallway realising I don't know what to do or where to be. I head to the bathroom in hopes I get some idea of what to do. "We fucked up the whole plan, and all for some asshole that doesn't even like you." I sigh as I wash my hands. Just then I hear footsteps coming from the bathroom. I glance in the mirror only to see Percy standing in her beautiful gown. "Hey, don't beat yourself up!" She said. Percy sat down below the sinks gesturing for me to come over. She was like my guardian angel. I cried and sobbed as Percy patiently waited for the tears to flood out. "Look, we'll think of a plan! I'll get the rest and we'll get out of here for good!" She said with a smile so sweet. "Come on I'll get the rest you wait here." And with that crybaby was alone for a few minutes. Crybaby had then felt a sudden sharpness hit her on the cheek. "Ouch!" she winced in pain as she touched her cheek revealing a ruby red stick liquid. She jumped to the mirror and indeed there was a scratch. In attempt to use her powers, she was transported to a house, a house which was Percy's house. A small chilled who shared many physical features to Percy was crying, her brother by her side sobbing. Her mother had bruised the children and crybaby was standing to protect them. The mother then slashed crybaby's cheek which burned more as each salty tear trickled down. "The mother had then taken a knife and killed the boy. Aiming the knife to the girl, the mother screamed which made both me and the little girl run out of the house. "Crybaby?, CRYBABY WAKE UP!" I snapped beck to reality as a concerned Percy shook me. "I...I saw something and it w-was bad." I managed to say. As percy cleaned up my wound, she said that the door to the ballroom was locked. Leo did something, "I'll try to get that door unlocked, but you should distract Leo because one if he catches me in the act I'm screwed and two it's probably some spell that he's put so maybe the door will unlock once he's distracted." I nod as I transform into a tall girl wearing a short dress which could fall of at any moment. I strut towards Leo as he's counting his bills. I try to clink my heels harder on the metal ground so he could look up at me. As Leo jerks his head up I walk around to sit on his table in the "I'm trying to flirt with you" way. "I'm Lorelai and I'm here for the assistant position." I smile as Leo looks me up and down."Uh, right the...assistant...position." He breathes as I flicker my eyes behind his back while he looks for a key in his drawer.

Percy's Pov:
I run to the locked door. I'm in the perfect position, I can see Leo but he can't see me. The reason I'm out here is because immediately after crybaby stormed off I followed her. Im assuming shortly after the rest of the students were locked inside but how? I flash my eyes to see inside the room. Everyone's dancing but stiff movements are made. "My feet are dying I can't take this anymore!" Fleur cried as she was forcefully moving. Just then a voice played and echoed in my head. "I'm sorry." A voice spoke, soft yet mature no doubt it was Lilith's voice. I fumbled with the lock. I examined it to see if there was anything I could use to pry it open with my fingers or some tool. It needed a key. Using my mind communication, I told crybaby that the lock needed a key. She had told me that Leo took a key out and it could be that one. I heard some muffled noises. One of a tall lean lady who I think is crybaby and Leo. Crybaby then mind communicates to me. She has the key and said she would slip it to me. As soon as she signals for me to come. I flutter my eyes and crawl through the empty hall.

Crybaby's pov:
I ignore what leo is saying and look back waiting for Percy to grab the key. I distract him by getting him to go in his office. I found his key to his office so I'll be able to lock him inside. I feel a hush of wind and the key is gone, she took it. "You know I had this dream once too." Leo eyes Ms while I walk closer to the door. "Me too!" I exclame as I transform into myself shutting the door and locking it shut. I walk by Leo's cries as I listen to the sound of exited students spilling out the ballroom. I can't leave just yet. "EVERYBODY, EVACUATE THE SCHOOL, NOW!" I yell into the mic while racing to the balcony. I realise I haven't got much of a plan to get rid of the school. "Come on! Think, think, think!" I whisper tapping my hands on the border of the balcony. I hear a voice behind me and I turn around in shock to see a boy. "You have to go down!" I tell him. "No, I'm Ben, I'm here to help and I'm the one who gave you the love letter." Woah that's a lot to take in. "Well so what do we do?" I ask him.
"Uh do you know how to blow spit bubbles?" He asks
"What? No, why?"
"We can trap the school, in a bubble."
"Worth a shot you ready?"
He nods as my eyes flutter. Moments later the school is in a bubble, and starting to float. "Holy shit, we don't have much time Ben we have to jump!" I panic. "But if we jump we'll die." Ben says
"Fear of death is irrational now Ben, either we die in a few minutes or we attempt to live now."

Percy's pov:
As the group came together we noticed crybaby was missing. Just then Elita pointed up to a floating bubble "pinch me im dreaming!" She said as Magnolia pinched her arm. We made out two figures, crybaby and some boy. They were stuck in a floating bubble which could vanish any second. I sobbed. I can't watch my best friend die. Not like this. "Crybaby's gonna be just fine!" Fleur said patting my back as I choked on my salty tears.

Crybaby's POV:
We jump. We jump and land on the ground. Our hands still together from when we leaped. "What just happened? Ben said. I just laughed. The misery we once shared now gone, poof, vanished. The bubble once in the sky because a pink clouds of dust. "💗 I love you 💗." I say while pecking Ben's cheek. Percy rushes to me giving me the tightest hug ever whispering the words "your alive" over and over again. "Yes Percy I am alive and so are you." A door then opens I instantly realise. "Oh my god it's Lilith!" I grab Ben and Percy's hands running towards the door. I suddenly feel lightheaded. While me and Percy run to the door, we collapse. Our bodies are lifted up and dropped back again. "Crybaby? How can this be..." are the last words before I slip into what felt like a sleep longer than sleeping beauty's.
