*Hazel's POV*

I was at the Yule Ball and I knew I was the youngest one there. Well, actually I was one of the oldest chronologically. After all, I was born in 1928, so I'm really around 84 years old.

But anyway, I felt awkward and I can't dance. I did dance with Frank a couple times thought. But I kept tripping so I went to stand near the food and punch. I noticed a bunch of others there too. Percy, Leo, Luna, Neville, Ginny, Draco, Seamus, Cho, Justin, Pansy, Harry, Ron, Clarisse and Annabeth. I found it odd but I didn't say anything.

"Hazel! You have got to try this punch!" Piper yelled to me over the music, which was loud and upbeat. She jogged toward me with two cups in her hands. Percy and Leo were with her and they each had a cup. I took one and drank a small sip.

It was fruity with some ice cream in it. Something in it made my throat a little warm but I didn't notice at first. The ice cream masked it.

It was good so I downed the cup in one sip. Now I was starting to feel the burning in my throat. I thought it was odd but I didn't question it. After all, it was Piper, Leo, and Percy. While they may be a little crazy and self-destructive at times, none of them would hurt anyone without reason. And 99 percent of the time, that reason is to send a monster back to Tartarus. 

Anyway, I liked the punch, despite the burning. I got another cup and made sure I had enough of the ice cream. I drank that and got another. I didn't even look at the food.

After my third cup, everything is fuzzy. I remember throwing pizza at my brother and screaming that it was a giant piece of gold. I remember running around and yelling about Arion. And I remember... oh gods, I didn't, did I?

I remember making out with Leo. In the middle of the dance floor.

Gods, kill me now.

*Piper's POV*

I didn't mean to get Hazel drunk. I got tired of dancing and went to join Percy, Leo, and Annabeth with some punch. Then I got another one and gave a glass to Hazel. I also may have had like 9 more glasses. I can't remember.

What I do remember is screaming about being a flying potato chip, hearing a boy ask his date Selena something and screaming at Nico to bring Selena Beauregard back even though I never met her, and yelling at Percy to try to drown me because I could tell the water to stop.

I also vaguely remember trying to throw myself out the window before Jason and Valentina Diaz held me back.

Gods, I'm never drinking punch again. Now I am vegetarian and anti-punch.

I woke up the next morning to see Thalia and Reyna standing over me. They are the only two girls in our dorm that didn't get drunk. Maybe because they were off kissing in a corner (they actually were. I know this because that's one of the many perks of being a daughter of Aphrodite. Note the sarcasm.) But anyway, Reyna was being mean and hitting her shoe against one of the bed posts. Loudly. Thalia ripped the shoe out of her hand. I noticed her hair was crunchy and I could swear I smelled fruit. I guessed someone had poured a large amount of punch on her.

I flipped Reyna a gesture that involves a finger before I rolled back over and put my pillow over my head.

*Leo's POV*

Okay, it was me.

I poured half the punch bowl on Thalia.

Oh, and I spiked the punch or whatever.  But not on purpose, I swear! I took a sip of my punch and I knew it needed something. I took a suspiciously large container tic tacs out of my tool belt (yes, I wore it to a ball! It's not like I had a date or anything... not that I didn't get asked by 60 of my crazy fangirls or anything heh heh..) and I put one in my glass. I se the tic tacs down while I tasted it. It was good so I put the rest of the tic tacs in the bowl. That was what spiked it. I know because nobody else put anything in the bowl, but I didn't do it on purpose. Someone must have switched my tic tacs out for alcohol.

*Percy's POV*

So... I may have done some weird stuff last night... I won't tell you about that though, mostly because I don't remember. I'll just tell you about the one conversation I had that I do remember.

"Hey, Will..." I said, walking up to Will. He was passing out water to sober people.

"What Percy?" He asked.

"If I eat 12 bottles of ketchup, will I go into cardiac arrest?" I asked.

"No... I think..." he said. He gave me a weird look.

"Including the plastic?" I added.

"I-" he began.

"Completely hypothetical, of course," I assured him.

"Percy-" he said, concern creeping into his voice.

"Yeah, I don't feel so good-" I said. I then proceeded to puke all over the floor. I don't know what happened from there.

*Unknown POV*

I know I'm going to get in trouble... but I confess.

I switched out the tic tacs with alcohol. I knew, or at least hoped, it would get that Valdez kid in trouble. I hate him so much, and he'll get what's coming to him. He flirted with my girlfriend.

You really need to hear my story to understand why I did it.

You see, I'm a half blood. My mother is a witch. She breeds messenger owls, and she's got a dark side. She may have a habit of small theft. But I'm also a demigod. Roman. Child of Mercury. Being a child of Mercury, I was sneaky enough to replace them in the eight seconds he set them down.

I was on a quest with two other people. What we were doing isn't important. I'm not so sure I even remember what happened. We got separated and I somehow found my way onto a strange island, inhabited only by a beautiful girl. She didn't like me much at first, but after an hour or two island time, she fell in love. And that's when she let me leave. I told her I'd come back to rescue her. She told me to save it, that she's heard it all before.

I know Leo got letters from her. I heard the howler. I heard her beautiful voice, like a love song. "Cal", he called her. She hated when I called her Cal, and calling her a name she doesn't like seems just like the type of thing Leo Valdez would do. He stole my girlfriend, and he will pay.

I will find that other camp and get my Calypso back.

I know you all must be wondering my name by now. You know it, whether or not you think you do. Everyone in all three schools knows me.

I, the one who spiked the punch to get Leo in trouble, am Marcus Smith. The Illvermorny Triwizzard Champion.

(a/n: YAY, I finally got another chapter out! I know it's been months but I accidentally deleted Wattpad off my phone and it wouldn't let me log back in when I redownloaded it and my computer died completely and permanently but now I'm back with another chapter! Credit for the Percy part goes to a hysterical comment made by Temmie-Official because it's too funny not to use. So anyway, I'll try to update again... next week... maybe? I don't know. Bye guys!)
