As it is, my Meet the Demigods fanfiction is my main fanfiction, so I update that one more often. And it's always hard to think up unique ideas for this one. Anyhow, I'll try to update more for this. Although, this chapter was weird. I think I had too many sweets. /:

Selene Mous

Hello. I'm Selene. The world famous fashion designer. I'm sure you've heard of me.

Anyhow. I was at the Thousand Faces celebration, in Manhattan, you know? Mm. It was quite... strange, to say the least.

I'd heard from a friend, Sybil (she's at the party, too; Sybil Ashton, you know her, I'm sure), that there was an early Christmas Cheer in one of the private dining rooms. Being a sucker for anything to do with Christmas, I went.

A teenage girl opened the door when I knocked. She had striking green eyes, and dark hair that looked dyed purple.

"Hello! Are you here for the early Christmas Cheer? You might regret it. Come in! I'm Lou Ellen!" The girl beckoned me in, and I didn't even get a chance to talk. Hopefully, my mouth wasn't hanging open. That would be dreadful. It might stretch my face! But enough about that.

"In order to start initiation—"

"There's initiation?!" I all but shrieked.

Lou Ellen did not seem in the least bit fazed.

"Why of course there is! Don't worry; it doesn't hurt. Here, just drink this mug of eggnog," she said, handing me a thick white mug. Worried that the eggnog would give me a white mustache, I stalled for time.

"Oh! But, but, I'm allergic to eggnog!" I blithered. Lou Ellen eyed me appraisingly, before announcing the dreadful truth.

"Unfortunately, you're not. Now drink up!" Lou Ellen grabbed the mug that was in my hand and forced much of the content down my throat.

"MM! GGGGMMMMM! HMMM!" I protested to no avail. The entire mug of eggnog went down my throat, and Lou Ellen dragged me into the middle of the dining room, where the table was gone, and left were several chairs, in a circle. She unceremoniously pushed me down into a chair.

"Don't yell, or I'll give you something even more nasty to drink," she whispered in my ear, nodding toward three bottles on the counter, all containing a some kind of murky liquid. Frantic, I nodded.

Lou Ellen moved away to stand next to two identical looking boys, save for their height.

"Alright, now that everyone's eggnog induced and ready, let us start the early Christmas Cheer!" Lou Ellen announced on the microphone.

The door to the private dining room was closed and soft pink lights turned on. Garlands of pink and white flowers dropped down from the ceiling. Lightly glowing miniature hearts floated around the room.

I had one thought: This was not an early Christmas Cheer!

And then I looked around at the other people sitting in the chairs. There were men and women alike.

"The eggnog should activate in a few minutes." I heard one of the identical boys hissing. I shuddered. Eggnog activation? Probably not safe. And it wasn't.

A minute later, however, a giant group of teenagers entered.

"What did you want us here for, Travis? Connor? Lou Ellen?" A boy with crazy black hair and green eyes asked, looking at each of the three teenagers in turn.

Travis cackled. "Come here, and close the door will you?"

"Oh, you'll love this," Connor added. And then all three of them cracked up.

A girl with cocoa colored skin and gold eyes closed the door. A second later, however, there was an audible click. The new group of teenagers froze.

"What. Did. You. Do?" The same boy with the black hair asked menacingly.

"You won't be able to imagine," Travis answered.

And then... all hell broke loose.

"I LOVE PERCY JACKSON!" I screamed for no reason. The boy with the black hair froze up, and the girl next to him with blonde hair gave me a death glare. The other people from the chairs also started screaming things.

"JASON GRACE IS THE HOTTEST."

"BE MINE, PIPER!"

"OUR LOVE IS EVERLASTING, BEAUTIFUL ANNABETH!"

The new group of teenagers were seemingly panicked. Everyone was still in their dresses and suits, so there was a lot of tearing of fabric.

And me? I couldn't control myself. Hours later, I would come to the conclusion that the evil eggnog had done something.

For now, though, I had cornered the boy with black hair, Percy Jackson.

"I love you, Percy Jackson," I whispered. He looked terrified.

"Um. You realize you're older than me, right?"

"And what does that have to do with anything?" I asked, and was about to lean down and kiss him, when something, someone, grabbed my hair and yanked. It was the blonde girl. A guy that had yelled out to her was trying to hold on to her waist.

"LET GO OF ME, YOU JERK," she screamed at the guy holding her, before finally kicking him away, and judo-flipping him for good measure. She immediately proceeded to drag Percy away, but I wailed.

"BUT WAIT PERCY. I LOVE YOU. WE'RE SERCY RIGHT? ONE TRUE PAIRING? WE'RE LOVERS FOREVER!"

The early Christmas Cheer definitely was one of the more embarrassing highlights of my life. Needless to say, Travis, Connor, and Lou Ellen had set up the prank. Bewitching the eggnog? I don't even know if that's possible.

I'm never drinking eggnog again.

Shudder.

The risks you take drinking eggnog...
