Title: Cupidity
Pages: 183-273 (total: 593)

Laura, now fed up with the responsibility of the magical bow and arrow, decided to confront Cupidity yet, she runs into Cupidity's "father"- who is actually Mercury, the Roman god. Mercury then reveals the truth- of his and Cupidity's disguise and the whole plan in that Cupidity is assisting Laura to get a boyfriend- to Laura and tells her that she is the one who must find Venus to help solve this dilemma.

Is trouble brought upon us or is trouble brought upon ourselves? Trouble is associated with us, and only us, when we interact with it. Trouble and misfortune just cannot come all to you without any self involvement: reaction, input, action, and voluntary presence. Laura asked the gods for their help and never fully accepted the plans of the god, Cupid (in disguise as Cupidity). Laura's action and reaction is trouble brought upon her. Although she created her own situation, she remarkably solved her own problem, of course, with the help of Venus, Mercury, and the satyrs. In convincing Venus to come to Fimbrey High School and saving the lives of teenagers' hearts that were falsely in love, was Laura's dissatisfaction solved. With the help of Venus, Laura was able to reverse the spell of the bow and arrows leaving all couples together except for Megan and Peter, who were only in love because of the magic. In the end, Laura did prove her friend Taryn wrong; Laura did too get a boyfriend by the end of the year, who just happened to be one of her good friends, Peter. Laura created a course for herself, and made it out just the way she would have wanted it. The things that we want and desire does not come to us; we have to fight for it just like the way Laura did.
