The Rain

IT NEVER RAINED AT CAMP HALF BLOOD.

Which is why the forest nymphs were so startled when the Hermes cabin decided to do the infamous 'Rain Prank' in memory of the deceased demigods.
Juniper just so happened to be a long way away from her tree. She would be soaked, and if forest nymphs could be sick, she didn't want to find out. Unfortunately, she was already starting to get wet. She would run, but the ground was getting slippery.
Styx, she thought, I'm going to get soaked.
She sighed, and started on her way. She was starting to feel soaked- she would eat a cow for an umbrella right now.

ΑΩΑΩΑΩΑΩΑΩΑΩΑΩΑΩΑΩΑΩΑΩΑΩΑΩΑΩΑΩ

The other nymphs gazed in sympathy, but stayed in their trees. They wished to stay dry, thank you very much! The satyrs were inside the Big house, playing Pinochle. No one noticed the soaked wood nymph.
No one, except one.

Grover had an umbrella. He had overheard the Hermes cabin plotting, and made one out of materials he'd found.
So he was prepared for this prank.
He was strolling to the Big House when he saw the shuddering wood nymph, dripping wet. He was a good satyr. He wouldn't let her freeze.
I just hope Juniper understands, he thought. He walked over, to stop short in surprise. The nymph was Juniper.

"Juniper!" Grover called out. He saw her look up, and saw her radiant smile of relief. He made his way to her, as quickly as he could, and wrapped an arm around her. They talked under the umbrellas protection, talking about Percy's party- which had happened before the downpour. They laughed together, and just as they got to the Juniper tree...

The rain stopped. Juniper let out a laugh, and Grover lowered the umbrella. They stood, and Juniper stood on tiptoes, giving Grover a peck on the lips.
"Thanks," she said quietly. Grover was blushing red, and the sight made Juniper burst out laughing. Juniper handed Grover a piece of paper. On it, was a beautifully drawn picture. It was of them sitting near the Juniper tree, Junipers head on Grover's shoulder.
"Who drew this?" Grover asked.
"Rachel. It was going to be for our anniversary, but I felt like I should give the picture to you now," Juniper said, looking lovingly into Grover's eyes. She hugged him, and waved, while walking off visit RED. She had a little favor to ask, as she might need a new picture.
