{Piper's POV}

We arrived at the party with everyone else, when I realized how Leo felt on the Argo Two, a third wheel.

I first tried to hang out with Annabeth. It was all fine until I caught her and Percy in the middle of a make out, which left me and them blushing like idiots.

So then I tried to find Hazel. I eventually did, and I was with her and Frank for a lot of the time, but they were really gushy-gushy. Not that that's bad, they're freaking adorable, and Frazel is an OTP, but it just wasn't very comfortable.

So then I went looking for Leo, thinking, hey, he isn't in a relationship, but then I remembered Calypso. So I didn't even try.

I went looking for Nico and Will, but gave up in my search realizing that Will probably ordered Nico to go home, "Doctor's Orders".

After all the failed attempts, I didn't even attempt to go looking for Clarisse, Chris, Grover, Juniper (who don't live with them if that clears anything up), Katie, Travis, or Connor. I went looking for Thalia and Reyna.

Now, Thalia was lazy, so she just went as a huntress by using her lieutenant costume. Reyna, also being lazy, went as a praetor. So they shouldn't be hard to find, should they?

Wrong.

I spent at least an hour looking for Thalia and Reyna. I walked into things I can't unsee, games of truth or dare, drunk people, and my friends. But no Thalia and Reyna to be found.

I finally found Thalia trying to pour herself some vodka, and Reyna keeping her from doing so.

"I'm technically about twenty-one!" Thalia yelled at Reyna. "I don't care, Thalia. Jason said to keep you from the alcohol, and he definitely has a reason when it comes to you," Reyna snapped back. "Fine," Thalia gave up.

"Hey...guys," I said, trying to hide my laughing from the last conversation. "What's going on?"

"Well, Thals here wants to get drunk, but Jason told her otherwise. Plus, she's bad enough sober," Reyna rolled her eyes. "But I am actually almost twenty-one! Kinda. See, I was twelve when I turned into a tree, I had six years in there which made me eighteen. Then I joined the Hunt right before I 'turned sixteen'," Thalia said, putting finger air quotes around "turning sixteen". "The tree messed up my aging process. But anyway, I've been a Hunter for three years, and eighteen plus three is twenty-one. But my birthday is December twenty-second. So I'm almost twenty-one."

Reyna rolled her eyes. "Almost  twenty-one. And you're immortal. You're going to be fifteen for the rest of your life. Unless you somehow leave the Hunt. Which I don't think will happen." We laughed while Thalia just rolled her eyes. "Smart aleck," she muttered.

I hung out with Thalia and Reyna for a good three hours. I looked at the clock to see it was only ten o'clock.

I heard the door slam open with a silence running over the crowd. A few people gasped, and other muttered things I couldn't hear. A familiar voice rang through the air.

"Hiiiiiiii, baby," Sarabella purred. I gagged and rolled my eyes. Who was Sarabella flirting with now?

"I'm not here for you, Sarabella," a deep voice said. My eyes widened. I felt a smile grow on my face. A few people turned to see my face. "Is it?" Reyna asked. I nodded, with a few tears in my eyes. "Jason," I breathed. 

I stood up from sitting on the couch and pushed through the crowd. Jason was standing there, in his SPQR shirt and jeans, like he just came from camp.

{Percy's POV}

"Look," I whispered to Annabeth. I pointed to the front door at Jason, who was looking around, obviously for Piper.

Annabeth turned and smiled. "Piper's going to be happy," she whispered back.

After Jason pushed off Sarabella, a very familiar Cherokee-skinned greaser came towards the door. "Jason?" she whispered. They hugged and kissed, which I assume would've been cute to everybody because there was cheering, but to me it was just cheesy.

"Look how--" Annabeth started.

"Cheesy."

"Cute!"

Annabeth laughed and smiled. She rested her head on my shoulder as we sat on the staircase. "Now she won't interrupt us, she has Jason," I laughed. Annabeth tuned a deep pink and punched me in the arm. "Shut up, Seaweed Brain," she ordered. "Yes, ma'am," I laughed, fake saluting her.

"Want some juice or something?" she asked a little while later. "Sure, let's go get some."

"What do you want?" Annabeth asked at the table. "I don't know. I'll probably get some of that blue punch," I said. She rolled her eyes. "Does everything you digest have to be blue?" "I think we both know the answer to that," I smiled. 

"Here you go, Percy," Kianna handed me a cup, twirling her hair. "Thanks," I muttered, and I get into the living room as soon as possible.

"Let me smell it," Annabeth demanded. "What?" I asked, looking at her like she had two heads. "I need to see if it's alcohol or something that she gave you," Annabeth explained. I handed her the cup and she sniffed it. "There's something in there," she said, shrugging her shoulders. "It's from the demigod world." "Like Kianna's a demigod," I rolled my eyes, and drank from the cup.

{Third Person POV}

"What the heck Percy?" a yell from across the room was heard. Everyone turned to see Percy and Annabeth fighting. A lot of it was inaudible. 

"Fine!" 

"Fine!"

Kianna smiled manically at this, knowing that the Love Potion was working, and Percy would be hers in a matter of seconds.

"One more thing!" Percy yelled at an angry Annabeth. "What?" she demanded. "Make sure she knows," Percy pleaded. Kianna's malicious smile turned smug. "Oh, I will," Annabeth chided.

{Kianna's POV}

Yes! Percy was now mine!

I saw Annableh walking up to me. I knew that she was going to come and tell me that Percy absolutely loves me instead of Annableh, and that we should go get married and have kids right now. Because he loves me, not Annableh.

She comes up to me and stares me down. Everyone's watching. Some people even have phones out, recording. Yay! Annableh is going to be recorded being mortally embarrassed.

But instead, she does something completely different.

She pulls my arm and twists it behind my back, putting me in horrible pain. As I groan, people laugh. "Don't even try to break us up, Kianna. Your stupid Love Potion crap won't work," Annableh snarled in my ear. She judo flips me three times, and runs back to Percy who gives her a big hug and kiss. No fair! That should be mine.

"Nice try, Kianna. But our prank was funnier," Percy laughed, along with everyone else.

I was just publicly humiliated at my own party, and it was now all over every social media.

{Reyna's POV}

I have to admit, Percy and Annabeth's prank was everything.

Not only was Kianna embarrassed, but it was also really funny.

See, Piper had to explain to me why the Love Potion didn't work. When Annabeth smelled it, she couldn't tell what it was because Love Potions are scentless. When Percy drank it however, he told Annabeth his symptoms, such as drowsiness, blurry vision, and Kianna glowing in his eyes. But Kianna wasn't the only one glowing.

Annabeth was, too.

It all depends on who the Love Potion attracts you to. Annabeth quickly figured it out and gave him some Unicorn Draught from Will, and then devised the prank with him. The potion didn't work because of Tartarus.

Tartarus produced a sort of unbreakable bond between them. Love Potions don't affect them, because they've gone through worse while in Tartarus. They've grown immune to it, almost.

But anyway, the rest of the party was just me hanging out with Thalia and Connor, as we were the single ones.

You don't understand how much we've walked in on. *shudders*

:) hope I got ya with the Love Potion prank!
