A/N: After a few months of after school activities, assignments, and my trip to Asia, here it is, chapter 7. I apologize for taking too long, but so far, this is the longest chapter for this story. So I guess this is worth it. The later chapters might also be long like this, or longer (mysterious smile). I know that this story is girly, but that does not mean that I am either. I just want to point that out. (I mean, Drew is the daughter of Aphrodite so what do you expect?) I would like to thank Darknesse Sidhe, for beta reading. You are doing a great job, keep it up!

After what seemed like forever, Annabeth finally recovered from the lipstick's magic, and the minute she saw Drew doing her nails and everyone had left, she got an idea and ... well ... you should know the daughter of Athena pretty well so I don't have toexplain what had happened. If you're really interested in what happened, then let's just say that Drew screamed at Annabeth for wasting such perfect and beautiful nail polish, and Drew walked out of the Aphrodite cabin with painfully broken high heels.
The next day, Drew decided to use her charm speak and reason with Annabeth. She left her cabin to go find her, but; sadly, the sight of the son of Jupiter got Drew distracted. She squealed with delight.
"Hey Jason!" she yelled.
Jason looked in her direction and waved. She smiled, but her smile melted when she saw Piper approach Jason.
"Hey, Jason. You forgot your helmet. You don't want to have your head split, do you?" the cabin leader joked as she handed it over.
Jason laughed. "Of course not. And besides, I would like to meet this Percy Jackson guy," he answered.
The teenage daughter of Aphrodite narrowed her eyes with jealousy as she saw Piper with Jason Grace. Especially when Jason had a small smile on his face - how come he never smiled like that at Drew? Drew was prettier, she knew a lot about love, and she wasgreat with fashion, right? So what did Jason see in Piper?
She flipped her hair over her shoulder as they walked passed her. But Jason didn't even seem to notice her. A hurt look crossed Drew's face. The demigods who walked passed her saw that look on her face were confused. But they didn't bother asking her, for they knew that the beauty queen would freak out if they stuck their noses in her business.
Drew sat down on the grass, her shoulders slumping as she crossed her legs. What had she done that made Jason hate her? Well, he didn't hate her...right? She wanted to know so badly, so she closed her eyes to think. Just then, she heard the voice of Lou Ellen, the daughter of Hecate, the magic goddess. She wondered what was so great about magic. I mean, how was it important and interesting? Nothing was more interesting than romance, makeup, clothes, right? And magic was about cards, invisibility, and potions and... potions!
A potion is the answer! She smiled. With her charm speak, she could ask them to make a potion to make Jason like her! She stood up, brushed off her jeans (even though there was not a speck of dirt on them anyways) and followed Lou Ellen back to her cabin. Lou Ellen entered and Drew managed to sneak in just before the door swung closed.
She looked around and saw shelves and shelves of potions, magic books, and other supplies they might need for magic. Some of the objects were unusual such as paper, dirt, rocks, shells, and makeup. Just seeing the makeup made her sick. Why would they use makeup to do magic?
Suddenly, Drew felt a hand on her shoulder and jumped.
"How did you get here?" a voice asked.
Drew turned around to see the face of twelve year old Serena. She may have be a twelve year old, but she sure knew how to speak for herself. When she needed to, however, she can also be apologetic. On her head was long thick black hair in French braids, purple eyes that seemed like they were going to cast a spell on whoever messed with their owner, and a wide mouth. In her mouth, she had two rows of white teeth with purple braces. Drew sighed with relief and placed her hand over her chest. "Thank goodness you're here!" she said.
Serena stepped back, shocked. Usually when Drew was around, she would've said, "Those shoes are so last season, you need a date, you need to be careful with the blush.." and so on and so forth. But now, Drew was glad to see her? Had she touched one of the potions and turned nice?
"Hey! Answer me!" Drew exclaimed rudely with a frown.
"I guess not," Serena muttered.
Drew curiously stared at her. "What did you just say?" she wondered aloud.
"Nothing! Anyway, why are you here?"
She hesitated for a second, then said it. "I-I need a love potion," she replied.
Serena coughed. "A love potion? Seriously? A daughter of Aphrodite with a love potion? But your mother is the goddess of-"
"I know that! But I need to have one so just do your magic and make me one this instant!"
Serena placed her hands on her hips and lifted herself up by standing on her toes so she could meet Drew in the eye. "Too bad."
Drew sighed, then smiled sweetly at the 12 year old. "Listen ... honey? I am a beautiful daughter of Aphrodite, and I have a talent for charm speaking. But this clueless guy just doesn't get it. So I suggest that you make me this potion right now or else my cabin will vandalize your cabin with makeup for the whole month! Now make me this potion now!" she demanded as she raised her voice with each word.
"Drew, even if I want to make you one, I'm new here. Lou Ellen and my siblings are doing their own stuff," Serena explained.
"But don't you see that I need it badly?" Drew asked as she fluttered her eyelashes.
"I'm sorry Drew," she apologized.
Drew stubbornly tapped her high heeled foot against the wooden floor, furiously crossed her arms over her chest, and frowned. "No! I will not accept this! I will be standing right here in this cabin waiting for my potion, even if it takes me all day or all night! I don't care of you're tired, or busy, I will refuse to leave until I have a love potion right in my hands! I want the potion now!" she demanded again.
Serena sighed, she knew that Drew would do anything to get the potion done her way. "Okay Drew, you should expect it in a few minutes. But don't expect it to be perfect and exactly the way you want."
Drew smirked, butthen changed it into a mischievous and sly smile. So she made herself at home and sat on a chair, watching the daughter of the magic goddess make her magic. She poured water into a flask. Then, threw in things that came from the jars on the shelves. Like a rainbow trapped in (how is that even possible?), a swan's eyeball, a stone, and worst of all, she asked for Drew blood.
"Why should I give you my blood?" she whined.
"Do you want this potion to be finished or not?" Serena pointed out.
Drew pressed her lips together, then nodded. Serena pulled out a dagger from her boot and asked for Drew's hand. She stuck it out, and Serena quickly swiped the dagger across her palm. For once, scarlet red blood gushed out of the Aphrodite girl. Just looking at the blood made Drew want to vomit, but Serena begged for her to not do that. So Drew had to bite the inside of her cheeks. Drew gasped and squeezed her eyes shut as Serena collected the blood and spilled it into the flask.
"I need a piece of your hair."
"But-"
"Relax! It's not going to be the end of the world if you lose a piece of hair! You have a lot of hair, and you'll grow more!"
Drew growled. "Fine!" And she plucked a hair off. It was painful, to remove hair from scalp. She held up the strand. "I'll miss you, Annie."
Serena giggled as Drew handed over the hair. And you know what she did? She excluded it and left it on the side!
"Hey!"
"I just wanted to see you pluck out a hair for once," admitted Serena in the middle of her laughing fit.
Drew glared dangerously at Serena, but she quickly recovered. She grabbed a small spoon, and then used it to stir the mixture together.
When she was done, she poured the liquid into a glass bottle. Then, she unenthusiastically made her way over to the Asian daughter of Aphrodite. Serena dropped the bottle onto her lap, and Drew frowned at her as she did.
"Careful! These jeans are brand new!"
"Oh, whatever! Just wash them if it does spill, common sense!" she shot back venomously.
Drew rolled her eyes. "Okay, how does this work exactly? Do we both have to drink the potion?"
Serena shook her head. "No, this is not like Wizards of Waverly Place. Once he drinks it, he will fall in love with the first girl he sees. Which means that you will to be right in front of him. Got that?"
Drew rolled her eyes. "I'm not dumb you know."
"Just say that you get it! Anyway, here is a band aid for your wound, before you start nagging me for one."
Once Drew got her band aid on, she took the bottle in her hands and stormed out of the Hecate cabin and slammed the door behind her loudly. She arrived at her cabin, plopped down on her hot pink bed, and twisted the cap off of the bottle. She stared blankly at the magic liquid that would change her life forever. 'Yes, he would be mine!' she thought to herself.
She cautiously took a big whiff of the potion, and she pulled back right away and wrinkled her nose at the strong smell. She shuddered, then drifted her eyes over to the liquid. It was a beautiful shade of a red ruby colour, and it was making tiny little waves as her hand moved.
Drew shut her eyes and hugged the bottle tightly. "This better work," she said to herself.
So she poured the potion into a coblet and made her way outside. She scanned the whole area and saw no sign of Jason. All she saw was Annabeth sword fighting (probably taking a break from architecture), the Apollo kids doing archery, her cabin mates sitting by the lake gossiping, and the other kids doing their daily activities. But no Jason.
She huffed and stomped her foot. Where is he? Drew pouted. And things just got worse. Will was taking a break from archery and he began choking. Drew had no idea why, but he was bright red, his eyes bulging out, desperate for air. He saw the bottle that Drew was holding and snatched it from her hands.
"Hey! Give that back!"
But he already gulped down the liquid. And Drew forgot how the potion worked, because she was still right in front of him once he was done. That's when she remembered. Unfortunately, she was too late, because that's when Will smiled at her dreamily.
"NOOOO! This cannot be happening!"
~Two hours later~
Drew arrived in the forest and had her hands on her knees and was panting and gasping for breath. She looked behind her and saw that Will was not behind her. She could not believe that the Hecate cabin wouldn't help her!
*Flashback*
"Will fell in love with me! You've got to come up with a potion that'll break the spell!" Drew exclaimed.
Lou Ellen snorted, while Serena sighed. "Drew, I already told you how the spell works. How come you didn't move out of the way the minute he took the flask?"
"Hey, excuse me for trying to not ruin my hair for running away! Now look at my hair! I have to run away from him, and now my curls are a mess!" she complained.
"Hey, on the bright side, at least you have something to do other than painting your nails," Lou Ellen cackled.
"Look, we're sorry, but we have to save our magic for the rest of the day," Serena apologized.
*End of flashback*
"When will this nightmare end?" she said to herself.
Suddenly, Will emerged from the bushes. Drew groaned, "Oh no, not again."
"Hello, my little angel," he said.
"I am not your angel! Now go away!"
"I cannot leave my little angel!" And with those words, he pulled out a bouquet and handed it to her.
Just then, Jason Grace strolled past. Drew squealed of happiness and relief and pounced at him. "Jason! Where were you? I've been worried sick! Do you have any idea on how horrible this day has been?"
"Um...what's wrong?" he asked.
Drew pointed at Will. "He's what's wrong! He drank a love potion and then he fell in love with me because I was the first girl he saw."
"Okay, okay, time out. First, why did he drink a love potion?" he asked with inquisitive eyes.
Drew placed a hand on her hip. "Don't you see, sweetie? You and I are perfect for each other, but you just won't accept that fact! So I asked Serena, the daughter of Hecate to make me a love potion so you'll realize that we are destined to be together! But this archery dude ruined everything!"
Jason awkwardly blinked at her. "Um, no offense but we are not destined to be together."
Drew giggled and placed her hand on his shoulder as she batted her eyelashes. "Don't be ridiculous hon, of course we are!"
Will gasped. "Hey! What are you doing with my woman?" he demanded accusingly.
"Um, she's not even my girlfriend so calm down."
"Oh I see how it is! You want to fight? Then we shall fight! The winner gets Drew!"
Jason raised his hands just above his waist and moved them into a calm-down motion. "Okay man, we are not having a fight because I don't like her. So there you go!"
"The fight begins now!" he announced as he tackled Jason to the ground.
"Dude!" he shouted as Will took out a dagger and raised it above his head.
"FOR DREW!" he screamed at the top of his lungs.
Jason got out of the position and turned his coin into a sword. "For the last time, we are not dating!"
Will froze. "Oh! Why didn't you say so in the first place?" He smiled as he put the dagger away.
Drew approached Jason with tears spilling out of her eyes. "Y-you don't like me?"
He gulped. "Um, no! I don't hate you, I just feel that we are not destined to be together like you said we would, that's all," he explained quickly.
Drew sobbed harder. "Liar! You just told him that you don't even like me! I cannot be with a man who lies to me! You know what? We are done! I don't want to speak or talk to you ever again, I am breaking up with you!"
Jason just stood there in silence as Drew walked away. "Um...we were never in a relationship but okay."
Will recovered because his eyes widened and he looked around his surroundings with a confused expression on his face. "Jason? Where am I? The last thing I remember...I was...choking on a piece of my sandwich..."
Jason patted his back with comfort. "Don't worry man, everything is back to normal. You should be going back to archery now."
"Yeah, I should." He grabbed his arrows and went back to the archery place.
The son of Zeus smiled. Finally, Drew wouldn't have to bother him again. Everything is back to the way it was supposed to be ... for now.
~Athena Cabin~
Drew strolled in the Athena cabin. "Today was the worst day of my life, Annabeth!"
Annabeth looked up from her laptop and gave her a frown. "Um, who invited you here, Drew?"
Drew glared at her. "A woman is hurt right now so would it hurt for a little empathy and support?"
Annabeth closed her laptop. "Okay, what happened?"
"I...broke up with Jason," she answered as she choked back her tears.
The confused daughter of Athena blinked at her. "Well...um...uh...I um...that's too bad..." she replied awkwardly.
Drew nodded. "I know."
Annabeth stood up and pointed at the door. "Okay, I am sorry that happened to you, so have a great afternoon!"
"Wait, wait! This is the part where you say that everything will be okay, I will find another guy because who could resist such a gorgeous face?"
"Well, okay I said what you just said so have a great life and watch out for any monsters!" Annabeth said as she enthusiastically pointed at the door again.
Drew gasped, which was clear that she was offended that Annabeth wanted her to leave the cabin, after everything that had happened! That girlneeded to be more sympathetic! She figured she'd explain what happened in order for the sympathy to come. And she did. The potion, Will, and Jason ... the boy who broke her heart.
"Well, that sucks for you," Annabeth carelessly told her as she opened her laptop again.
"So ... you're saying that I let that little girl cut my palm, let blood gush out of my body for once, and plucked a beautiful hair, for nothing?!" Drew exclaimed.
Annabeth shrugged without any expression. "Yeah, pretty much."
"That's not fair!" She folded her arms across her chest and pouted.
Annabeth laughed and looked at the furious, frustrated, and crazy daughter of Aphrodite. "This is the reason why you should not have anything to do with potions. Or magic."
"Well, this sucks," Drew complained.
"Hey, look on the bright side. At least you learned your lesson today!"
She didn't look on the bright side. Instead, that brought more tears. "You're like Lou Ellen!" she whined as she stormed out of the cabin, leaving a very confused Annabeth behind.
"How am I like Lou Ellen?" she wondered out loud. Then shrugged. "Oh well, on the bright side, at least she finally got out of the cabin!"
She went back to her laptop and began brainstorming ideas to make Daedalus' inventions, as if nothing had happened.
