Potseltzer

### What is it?

Potseltzer is a ship between Daniel and Piper. Now, you may be wondering, if it's Daniel x Piper, shouldn't it be Paniel? No, it means TotalPotterhead x Dank Seltzer.

### When did it start?

Daniel and Piper admitted to having crushes on each other on January 13th. The relationship officially started January 19, 2021, but was ended by mutual agreement on February 1st 2021. Eventually, on February 19, 2021, Daniel asked Piper to be his girlfriend again, and she gladly accepted.

### How did it start?

Piper and Daniel met on The Hunger Games Fandom, which they both joined on the same day. (It was destiny!) Both of them joined a tournament on that same day, and Piper's tribute was called Pria, and Daniel's was called Ukko. Ukko was an idiot, and Pria (And Piper) hated him. You see, Piper thought that @Dank Seltzer's real name was Ukko, and she thought they were one of the same. She despised him, and he was her least favorite person on Fandom. But, one day she said something on the off-topic post, and he said something back. He was being so. . . nice. Piper was super confused. Then, he made a post called, "Tell Peeta that if he makes another break joke, he's toast". Piper got on there, and saw that he was making bread puns. She made some with him, and she soon found out he's an EXTREMELY funny guy! She couldn't stop giggling for the rest of the night, and in her brain she nicknamed him "Seltzy". They kept talking more and more, and Piper stopped hating him. She finally had enough sense to read his bio, and found out his name is Daniel. She wanted to use his name, but was really nervous he'd get mad. But one day, she saw an opportunity when he told someone, "You can call me Dank Seltzer, Dank, or Daniel.", so Piper said, "Daniel is a pretty name.", and he said thank you and blushed. HE BLUSHED. Piper then proceeded to giggling for 3 hours straight. Over the next few days, she slowly started using it more and more, and Daniel started calling her Pria instead of @TotalPotterhead. A girl named Kat came along, and said she ships Potseltzer. Piper had no idea what they were talking about, but she finally realised what it meant. And that made her think, "Wow, I think I like him.", but she was still trying to figure out her feelings, and so was Daniel. They eventually shrugged it off though. They were becoming close friends, when one day they played a game of truth or dare. Daniel asked Courtney if she had a Fandom crush. She said yes, him. Then it was Piper's turn to be asked, and she was asked, "Do you have a Fandom crush other than Aleks?" And she said maybe. Daniel asked if it was on him, and she said yes as well. He said, "Well, I'm glad, because I have a crush on both of you." Piper was elated. Sure, it would have been better if he had a crush on only her, but she barely even thought about that, she was just too happy to care! The boy she liked, liked her back! Daniel clearly favoured Piper though.

One day, Daniel suggested that they make a wiki together. Piper gladly agreed, and the YA Book Club Wiki was formed. They made an off-topic post and talked daily. Piper asked him to call her Piper instead of Pria, and he did. That made her happy that he used her real name. They talked about literally everything together. They were more than friends at that point, they were best friends. But sometimes it seemed like they were more, like when they talked about their future plans and stuff. One day, they were playing never have I ever, when Daniel said, "Never have I ever had a boyfriend". Piper put down a finger and said, "Darn, you got me. I suppose I had a boyfriend once." and Daniel said, "Don't you mean "have"?". Piper's heart literally stopped. She was kinda freaking out, thinking, "Daniel's my boyfriend?! I didn't even know that!". Daniel said that if he wanted him to be her boyfriend, tell him. Piper was panicking, and said "I want whatever you want!" Daniel smiled and said, "I'm asking you to be my girlfriend. Do you accept?". She forgot how to breath and said yes. Daniel said good, and he didn't want that hanging in the air for too long, and he wanted to make it official. Piper asked him, "Wait- we were together?" And he said yes, and it was kinda obvious with all that sweet talk they were doing. Piper said, "I guess it was obvious to everyone but me." He was like, yeah. And then they talked, and called each other "boyfriend" and "girlfriend" and Piper giggled the whole time, blushing HARD. Then, they talked about prom, and started planning their wedding. After Courtney discovered that wiki, they decided that it was a good idea to make their very own, PRIVATE, top secret wiki. It was called "Potseltzer". They talked on there, in secret, ALL THE TIME. But, there was an issue. Daniel still had feelings for Courtney. He told Piper this, and she was extremely upset and jealous. On February 1st, Daniel came to a decision: he wanted to "take a break from us" Piper said okay. She was very hurt, but she agreed and said that's what's best. Soon after, Daniel got together with Courtney. But after a while, it became unclear if they were still together or not. He didn't officially "break up" with her, but over time, it became clear that Daniel was totally into Piper still, and he and Courtney split by an unspoken agreement. (I believe) Daniel, Courtney, and Piper were all very stressed, trying to come to a decision about their relationships. Daniel insisted that Courtney and Piper get together, and they'd be happy that way. Piper insisted that she likes Daniel too much to move on from him to Courtney that easily, despite crushing on her as well. (Piper had a crush on Courtney, but definitely preferred Daniel) And Courtney said the selfless thing and insisted that Piper and Daniel get back together, and they'd both be happier that way. Piper and Daniel argued with this, and said that Courtney wouldn't be happy if they did that. Courtney said she'd get over it. They argued and tried to come up with solutions. Daniel even considered a polyamorous relationship, but they all quickly turned down that idea. On February 19th, after much thought and some tough decisions, Daniel said that he cannot take this drama anymore, and he could be happy with Piper, and would do what Courtney suggested. He said, "Piper, will you take me back? Piper gladly accepted, happy to have Daniel back. But she still felt bad for Courtney. She had just given up her happiness for Piper's. Despite this, they all remained friends. One day, Piper and Courtney were in a role play together and their characters were together, in a ship called Coria. (Courtney x Pria) Piper made a wiki called the Coria Wiki. She and Courtney talked there, and they were the only ones there. Piper admitted that she still had feelings for Courtney, and they flirted and stuff. A little later, Daniel's birthday came. Piper wrote him a song. (Available in Piper's bio) Daniel said it was his favourite birthday present. This made Piper very happy. But a week or so later, Daniel found out about the Coria Wiki. He questioned Piper and Courtney about it. Piper pretty much told the truth. Courtney lied. Daniel said that he read everything and knows she was lying. He told her that they are no longer friends, and she's dead to him and stuff. He was also very angry at Piper. Piper thought for sure he'd break up with her, but he didn't. He did say however, that his trust in her is shattered. Courtney apologized to Daniel, and so did Piper. He thought about it, and said he'd give us both one more chance. He still didn't trust them though. This made Piper very sad. But, a few days later, Daniel said to Piper that he didn't want to live his life always wondering if I'm telling the truth. He said he's putting his trust back into her fully. She was determined not to break it again. So, Daniel forgave Courtney and Piper and became their friends again, or so they thought. But one day, Daniel admitted to Piper that he couldn't stand Courtney, and resented her. He said he tried to forgive her, but she just cut too deep. He told Piper that he hated that she's still Courtney's friend, after Courtney deliberately flirted with her, knowing Piper was taken. Daniel listed many reasons why Piper shouldn't be Courtney's friend anymore. Piper didn't want to upset Daniel or mess things up with him, so she told Courtney the truth. Piper told her they should take some time away from each other. She friend broke up with her best friend. About a week later, Piper was talking to random people on The Hunger Games off topic post, when Courtney showed up. They politely made friendly conversation. For a while, Piper forgot that they were no longer friends. Things felt like they used to be. Daniel saw this and suggested that Piper and Courtney should be friends again. Piper was super surprised, because Daniel was the one who wanted them to stop being friends in the first place. However, Courtney and Piper both agreed that they will be friends again, little by little. Piper admitted that she missed being Courtney's friend, and cried when she thought about what she did to Court, knowing it was all Piper's fault. This made Daniel jealous, and he said that he couldn't stand that Piper wanted to be Courtney's friend again, after what she did. By then, Piper was ridiculously confused. They argued about it for a while, and eventually Daniel had to leave. The next day, Daniel came on his and Piper's private chat and apologized to her. He said he shouldn't have behaved like that. Piper accepted his apology. Daniel said that he thought about it, and he wants Piper to be Courtney's friend, because that's what Piper wants because that would make her happy, and he said that's what he really wants, is her happiness. So, Piper stayed Courtney's friend. Later that day, Daniel said something that surprised everyone; he wanted to be Courtney's friend again too. He said he can tell that she's sorry, and she's been through a lot, and will give her one more chance. She accepted. Piper told Daniel how kindhearted that was of him, and he said he wanted to choose good over evil, this time.
