Orange brown orange orange ETulip was leaving her dormitory when she found a box outside her door. Inside it was four powder puffs that were different colors, the first was light Pink, and it was called happy, the second one was Blue, and it said sadness, the third one was Green, and it said envious, the last one was Red, and it said love struck. She thought this was all very strange and decided it was just de a god boy playing a trick on her, still, she couldn't resist her favorite color, Pink! She dabbed it on her cheeks and looked q the mirror, absolutely Glitterlicous! She was so excited to show her friends!
       Dressed in a blue chiton with gold bangles, her eyes sparkled and her maple colored sandals complemented her brown hair.
She ran down to the cafeteria, just to find them waiting for her. Emery, Katelyn, Nadia, and Rosy started squealing! "What?" Tulip was curious to know the reason of their outburst. Rosy nodded towards her face, and Tulip blushed, "what do you care about my makeup?" She giggled. Nadia was  ecstatic, "you finally bought those Mood Puffs we told you about!"
Now Tulip was really confused. "The Mood changing powder puffs! You're wearing pink I can see it!" Tulip was still confused, maybe even more so. "I didn't buy these, someone left them at my door."
"Really?" Rosy looked really interested now, and Emery and Katelyn shared similar glances, "you have a secret admirer!" Katelyn practically sang. Emery started grinning in an exciting yet frightful way. Worrying what she would do next, Tulip shushed them and looked around the room. "You don't know that," but by her facial expression, it was quite certain that she was thinking the same thing. Tulip leaned in, "who do you think it is?" Rosy scanned all the god boys in sight, "It'll be hard to narrow it down to just one person. In my opinion, they all look suspicious."

Tulip's Friends
       Rosy was Tulip's first friend, they both met under a pavilion gazing at the stars. Rosy had pretty pinkish skin, with blond hair and a rosy red chiton, and she used a gold band to tie her hair into a high ponytail. She loved everything pink and especially liked to wear natural accessories too. She and Tulip were such good friends, that Rosy introduced her to three other girls: Emery, Katelyn, and Nadia. Emery had soft olive skin with grassy green hair, and her chiton was a leafy color. Her sandals were just a darker shade of green.
She always had her hair down because she loved to let it sway in the breeze. Katelyn had a tan complexion, dark brown hair that was as soft as silk, and she tied it in a neat bun. Her chiton was yellow; along with her cheery sandals, and she wore gold cuffs around her wrists for style. Nadia had pale blue skin, light blue hair that she wore in a French braid, and her chiton was as brilliant as the ocean in the morning. Her sandals were turquoise because they matched her eyes. Tulip loved them all dearly, and she felt like Mount Olympus Academy was her home.

Feeling Blue
       Tulip was still thinking about the powder puffs as she slipped into a silky white nightgown embroidered with tulips and marigolds. As she unlaced her hair, she found a sheet of papyrus on her nightstand. She thought about writing to Persephone (her mother), but she was too tired and decided it could wait till the morning. Tulip laced up her hair, and she saw the blue powder puff just waiting for her; it looked so pretty, and she had to try it.
But as her cheeks glittered a vibrant blue; all the excitement she had had suddenly drained out of her. She sat down at her desk and dipped a gold quill into her inkwell. She started writing a very important letter for the goddess:
Dear Persephone, I found these Mood Puffs at my door, and I'm wearing the blue one right now. Each Mood Puff has a name like a bottle of perfume does. The blue one says 'sadness' do you think they actually work? I have no idea! Please help me! Signed, Tulip.
She let the scroll roll up and magically appear in the enchanted post office. After that, she got dressed, put her sandals on, and then joined her friends in the cafeteria. When she got there Katelyn screamed and threw her bag into the wall. "Hey!" Tulip was really confused.
"Why'd you do that?" She said. Emery pointed, and Tulip then saw roaches and crickets crawling from it! She shrieked. Nadia rushed to flick a cricket of her shoulder. "What was that?" They all looked shocked.
"Tulip?" Rosy squinted at her face. "What happened?"
"I don't know." Nadia suddenly got all serious, "more importantly, who did this to you? We ought to teach him a lesson!" She pounded her fist like she meant business. Tulip touched her face, was it the...Mood Puff? This was all very strange to her, but at the moment she was way too stunned.
