Author's notes:

Possible trigger alert. This involves spiked drinks. I do NOT condone this behavior. Never leave an open drink around someone you do NOT know or in a weird place. Also please review or give feedback.

Elizabeth quickly cleaned up the mess on the floor, picked up the trash along with the cleaning supplies and headed back to the closet with Arthur right behind her. Arthur opened up the closet and Elizabeth threw away the trash and put the cleaning supplies back to where they belong. Arthur grabbed his glass and Elizabeth's, not suspecting that someone spiked their drinks…

Arthur picked up their drinks from the closet.

"Oh, thank you. I just gotta wash my hands really quick." Elizabeth said, gratefully as she closed the closet. "No problem." He replied as she walked to the kitchen sink. He quickly followed right behind her with their drinks. She washed her hands and dried them with the cloth towel nearby. "Thanks for your help, Arthur." She said. "No problem, Ellie. You ok with me calling you that instead of Elizabeth?" He asked and gave her back her drink. "Um, sure." She said and took a few gulps of her drink. She frowned slightly, it tasted a bit off. "Hey, does your drink taste different?" Elizabeth asked as she took another gulp. He took one gulp then a second and noticed the taste had changed. "Yeah, it does. I'm not sure why." Elizabeth said as she stopped drinking her glass. "M-maybe we should dump it." Elizabeth suggested.

"Dump what?" A new voice entered the conversion. They both turn to look at him.

"Mel, our drinks taste funny." Elizabeth said to her boyfriend. "Of course, it's going to. It's got alcohol in it, Ellie." He tells her, as she rarely usually drinks alcohol. "No, there's an unnatural taste to it," Arthur added. Meliodas takes notice after a second person says that and puts a hand out for Elizabeth's glass. She hands it to him and as he puts it close to his lips, he closes his eyes and smells it and stops before he drinks it. "No wonder," he answers. "It's been spiked." He dumps the contents into the sink. "S-spiked?!" Elizabeth says scared. Meliodas looks at Arthur and asks, "Did you do it?"

"He couldn't have, he's been with me the whole time," Elizabeth says. "I haven't left her side." Arthur said, offended and looked at Meliodas dead in the eyes. "I don't do that. I drink and smoke but I don't do drugs." He said as he put his tainted drink down. "Hmmm… Ok, I believe you." Meliodas said after a minute thinking about it. "What's going on?" Someone else chimed in. The trio looked at the new voice/group. "Helbram, our drinks got spiked." Elizabeth told him. "What?!" He said, startled in surprise. "Oh my goddess…" Gerheade said, holding a hand up to her gaping mouth. "Not again…" Gloxinia said and shook his head. Everyone looked at him and someone asked, "What do you mean?"

"It happened before at a party I was at. The person consumed some of it and well… they were verrrry sensitive for a couple of hours." Gloxinia explained. Elizabeth blushed and Arthur groaned in embarrassment. "This sucks," the purple eyed man said. Gloxinia spoke again, "You can either view it as a very rough night or a very fun night." Arthur announced, "Well, I'm dumping my drink." Gloxinia interrupted him, "Hold on," Gloxinia said. Everyone looked at him. "Brother, why did you tell him to stop?" Gerheade asked.

He shrugged his shoulders, "It sounds like fun." He answered, took a few steps forward, lifts the tainted glass up and took a few gulps. "Anyone else wants some before I finish it?" He asks.

"Wants some what?" A female voice said. The group turns towards the voice and they see the homeowners with Escanor and the barely dressed woman. "Merlin! Don't drink it. It's been spiked." Arthur said to her. "Spiked, you say?" She asked and looked at the red headed man holding the glass. "Yep, it is." Gloxinia confirmed. "I'll take a sample of it and test it in my lab tomorrow." She announced and brought out a vial. "Going once, going twice, Sold to the 'scientist'." Gloxinia said sarcastically before he stole another gulp. Merlin raised an eyebrow at his action.

She proceeded to grab the glass from his hands and dumped its contents into the container and put the glass into the sink. "Brother-" Gerheade was about to continue but the doorbell rang again. Diane and Harlequin were stunned that not just one person's drink got spiked but TWO people's drinks got spiked. Especially Elizabeth, since it was her first time at a swinger's party. "I'll get the door," Helbram said and walked to the door. "Thanks…" Harlequin said softly to him.

Helbram reached the door and opened it. "Helbram? Where's my brother?" The very young looking girl asked with a very tall guy dressed in red. "In the kitchen." He answered and then looked at the blue-haired man. "Who's the guy beside you?" Helbram questioned the blond girl. "Her boyfriend," the giant man said as he entered the house. Satisfied with his answer, Helbram shut the door and started to walk to the kitchen. The red dressed man drops the keys into the basket and follows the two into the kitchen.

"Um, why is everyone by the sink?" the young looking girl asked, confused. "Easy, because two drinks were spiked." Answered the red-headed man. "Seriously?" The tall guy said. "Serious as a heart attack," Gloxinia replied. "You forgot to mention, YOU knowingly drank some of it," added Gerheade, ratting him out.

"WHAT?" The girl said. "It's okay, Elaine. It's just gonna make it a very fun night." He answered with a smile. Ban started to laugh, "You're crazy." Gloxinia responded, "No more crazier than you." A couple of chuckles could be heard in the room. "So now what?" Asked the two 'missing couple'. "Where have you two been?" Arthur asked. "Oh, around the house," answered Hauser with a shit-eatting grin with Jericho right behind him.

"We're going to take off now," announced Merlin. "Why? You just got here," asked Diane. "I got work in the morning." She answered. "We mostly stopped by to socialize for a few minutes," her boyfriend, Escanor said. "Well, did either of you drink?" Harlequin asked. "No," Merlin answered. "Ok, follow me." Diane said and headed to the door with the leaving couple behind her.

Merlin and Escanor reached the door and picked up their keys. "We'll catch you two later. Don't do anything that I wouldn't do," Merlin teased and then winked. "Bye," Escanor said and waved. "Bye…" Diane said, pouting and waving to the leaving couple.
