"Well," Megumi started while brushing a piece of hair away, "That was a bit of a mess." She looked around and noticed that the commotion attracted attention from the various couples in the woods. "I think we better get out of here," Megumi said as she walked out of the woods, avoiding the couples. Roy and Jason followed after her. Once the three of them were out of the woods, Megumi turned towards the two boys. "All right, this whole thing is a mess," she said sighing as she put a paw on her forehead. "Jason, I want you to go back to the school. Make sure that the spiked punch has been dumped out and the bowl washed. We don't need anymore incidents tonight." She then turned to Roy and said, "And you, I want you to find Mr. Jenkins. Let him know that Mel's safe and nothing..." she paused as she struggled to find the right word before continuing. "permanent happened to her. She's still a normal." After Megumi gave out those orders, both Roy and Jason ran off into their own separate ways. Jason headed towards the school kitchen where Alice was taking care of the tainted punch while Roy used his nose to find Mr. Jenkins. While the two boys ran off, Megumi sighed as she dreaded making the call to her grandmother.

It took a bit of backtracking back to the school, but Roy was able to use his werewolf nose to track down Mr. Jenkin's scent. He followed the scent to the place where Mr. Jenkins was desperately looking for his daughter. "MEL! MEL! WHERE ARE YOU?" he roared out. Roy used the sound and the scent to locate Harold.
"Mr. Jenkins!" Roy called out.
Harold turned towards Roy and snarled, "Where is she? And who are you?" Mr. Jenkins looked angry as his teeth were bared, his claws were out, and his fur was standing on end.
"Easy, Mr. Jenkins," Roy tried to calm Harold by raising his paws moving slowly towards him. "My name's Roy Hooper, and I'm a friend of Trevor and Mel. We found her in the woods on the other side of the school. She's fine, and Trevor is taking her home now as we speak."
Harold studied the werewolf as his breathing slowed and his claws retracted back into his paws. "What happened to her?"
"Well," Roy said as he considered his words, "We're not exactly sure. It looks like Mel took a drink of that spiked punch, and followed a group of teenagers to those woods on the other side of the school. We were able to find her before anyone did anything to her." Roy decided to leave out the part where a werefox came very close to having sex with her and turning her into a werefox. "Trevor protected her and is taking her home right now."
"I-I see," Harold responded, all muscle tension leaving his body. He regained his composure and said calmly, "Let's go back to the school. I want to find out who did this." With that said, the two of them went back to the school.

"Crazy night, huh?" Jason said as he walked behind Alice who was busy washing out the bowl that contained the spiked punch.
Alice put the bowl down and turned around to see who was speaking with her. She smiled when she saw it was Jason. "Tell me about it. Dances like these tend to get crazy, but not this crazy." She resumed washing the punch bowl as she asked, "Did you find Mel? Is she okay?"
"Yeah," Jason said as leaned against the counter. "We got there just in time. A werefox was having his way with her when we got there. Trevor stomped his foot a few times, and Mel was all like, 'my hero' and whatnot. We got her dressed and on her way home. Although whatever was in that punch hasn't cleared her system yet."
Alice silently washed the bowl before she asked a question. "Do you think she and Trevor will...you know...?"
"Have sex?" Jason asked. Alice sighed as she muttered something about a lack of tact. "Well, from the way that Mel was acting when we found her, let's just say I wouldn't be surprised if she was sporting a tail and a pair of horns when we get back to school on Monday." Jason then spotted glass of punch, picked it up, and started to drink it.
When Alice looked up and saw Jason drinking the punch, she quickly called out and said, "Don't drink that! That was the spiked punch I was keeping as evidence!" Jason quickly spit the punch back into the cup, and then Alice's expression broke into laughter. "Oh, I got you good." she said between laughs.
Jason shook his head while smiling, and then said, "Oh yeah, you got me good." He went right up to Alice and then whispered into her ear, "I might have to take you out into the woods and teach you a lesson."
Alice turned towards Jason and said, "Have I been a bad girl?"
Jason smiled at her and said, "Oh yes, a very bad girl."
Alice smiled back and said, "I'll guess you'll have to punish me then." Alice went back to take care of the punch bowl while Jason went back to the dance that was winding down.
