(AN) This one-shot is for Rosiegirl52, who is totaly awesome for reviewing. She asked for a Grover/Juniper story, and here it is.

Rosiegirl52: sorry it took so long. Hope you like it! (AN)


Grover was panicking. Not the Pan panic. The oh-my-gods-I'm-going-to-die-panic. He had just asked Juniper (The tree he had been crushing on for a really long time now) to go out with him. And she said YES. Grover felt like killing himself. You see, our dear satyr had absolutely no idea what to do. He decided he needed to ask a girl what todo, and he only knew one girl well enough to ask advice. Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, year round camper.

'Sure, she isn't exactly the BEST person to ask, but she's a girl, she has to know SOMETHING' he decided.

When he knocked on the door Kira, another daughter of Athena, opened the door.

"Can I talk to Annabeth."

"ANNABETH! IT'S GROVER!" Kira yelled, then turned to Grover "By the way, it's may I, not can I." then walked back into the cabin. Annabeth walked out.

"Hey Grover, what's up? Can you make it fast, I in the middle of my book."

"I just asked out Juniper, and she said YES."

"That's great!"

"No it's not!"

"Okay, I'm not an expert, but don't you want the person to say yes?"

"Well, yeah, but now what do I do?"

"Ask the Aphrodite cabin."

"You remember what happened last time I did that- I still can't get the shrieking out of my head. All I asked for was if any of them had seen cap. They attacked me. Attacked me!"

"Are you sure that's not an exaggeration - got to go, I promised to teach some of the new kids everything I knew. Just, take her on a picnic or something. Tell me how it goes later. I hope you don't mess up, like you did with the water spirits. Gods, they hate me for just knowing WHO YOU ARE. Well, bye." On that happy note she slammed the door in his face. 'This will not end up like the time I completely messed up. It will be perfect. It has to be. Picnic. That's a start. Picnic.' he thought.

~at the date~at the date~at the date~

Grover ran over to Juniper's juniper. He was already 8 minutes and 32 seconds late. This date was not starting well. When he made it, Juniper was already there, waiting. "Hey Juniper, how are ... things?" She smiled awkwardly and said "Good, you?"

"Good. Yeah, um, let's go." he said, nearly stuttering. Normally he wouldn't be this nervous, but Annabeth just had to bring up the water spirits. He was determined to not mess up. 'Perfect date. Needs to be perfect.'

When they got to the picnic they started to eat. Grover decided that then to play his reed-pipes. At first, all seemed well. Then- the strawberries attacked. They flew towards them, knocking stuff over, and eventually the two ran from the area in sheer terror. In the chaos, the two walked over to the lake and sat down. Too late, Grover realized that the water spirits were right next to them.

"Juniper, we need to r-"

SPLASH! The two were soaked to the bone, and Grover was very red. When they made it back to Juniper's juniper Grover apologized. "I'm so sorry about all of that and I completely understand if you hate me and never want to go out with me again."

Juniper laughed and replied "It was fun, a little wet, but fun. I'd like to go out with you again, and no, I do not hate you." Then Juniper kissed him on the cheek, and disappeared into her tree. Grover walked back to camp happily. They had been attacked by fruit and water, and the entire thing lasted about 15 minutes, but in a weird way, that was the perfect date.
