So I COMPLETELY forgot about this story. I am so sorry!

But here's the next chapter.

It's been a while, and I basically remember what I wanted to happen, but it's a little foggy in my brain. But I'll try my best to continue the story like it was supposed to. It was meant to be a two-shot. I don't really know if that's still going to happen.

Also, this is kind of important. I'm a bad fanfictioner, or whatever you would call. In addition to not having updated in forever, I am writing the next chapter without reading the books again. I skimmed through them, but I didn't go in-depth like I did for the first chapter. I feel like I know the characters pretty well, but if something seems off, now you know why. Lol.

While I was gone, I turned 15! Happy Birthday to me (:

Um, anyway, here's Chapter 2!

¸.•*¨*• •*¨*•.¸¸

"Hey Annabeth, how's it going?" Clarisse asked innocently. We were in her cabin, The Ares cabin, and it kind of scared me. I had never really liked the idea of weapons hanging on the wall where you sleep.

Probably because I was sure that, if it were me, the weapon would fall on me and cut off a limb of some sort in the middle of the night.

Plus also the fact, that the campers were scary looking themselves. They were all big and bulky, and each of them looked like they could kill me with one swing of a sword – and like they would be happy to do it.

"Don't play games with me Clarisse," Annabeth said. I had to admire her bravery. I know that I would never be able to stand up to a daughter of Ares. And especially Clarisse. She was scary. She was definitely one of the biggest and strongest in the cabin. And she hadn't gotten to be head of the War cabin for no reason.

"Who's playing games?" Clarisse asked, a smirk on her face. I cowered near the entrance.

"Did you lie to Juniper about Grover?" Annabeth asked, angrily.

"Now, is that something I would do?" The War Demi-god said.

All of her friends were listening to the conversation, waiting to see how this played out. It wasn't exactly hidden that Annabeth and Clarisse disliked each other. I remember once Clarisse had put poisoned spikes on Annabeth's pillow, and to get her back, Annabeth had gotten Clarisse trapped in a cave with flesh-eating insects.

It took Annabeth three months to heal from the poison. And even though The Ares cabin had gotten Clarisse out of the cave before the insects had done too much damage, she was still scarred for life. And I mean literally scarred. Everywhere a bug had bit, Clarisse had little scars. They're mostly on her feet and ankles.

"Quite frankly, no, it's not something you would do, Clarisse," Annabeth accused, "it's a really immature thing to do. And I know you're a daughter of Ares, but you never really cared about love. Ruining it or building it."

"You don't know what I've done for love!" Clarisse suddenly yelled. Annabeth turned quiet. We all did. I remembered Chris, Clarisse's mad lover. She had done a lot for love.

"Clarisse, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have said that," Annabeth tried to apologize, "Please, just tell Juniper were joking around, and we can just drop this whole thing."

"No." Clarisse said simply.

"Blahaha!" I cried, "That isn't fair! If it's Annabeth you're mad at, break up her and Percy! Not me and my sweet, sweet Juniper."

Now normally, I would not have said that. First, I was defying a daughter of Ares. And second, I was also turning against Annabeth. I didn't care though. Not right then. Not when my Juniper is out there crying all for nothing.

"Get out of here goat. I don't care what you say. I'm keeping my mouth shut." Clarisse said. She then, rather defiantly I think, turned her back to me and Annabeth.

"Clarisse, please-" Annabeth started.

"I said get out!"

"You guys better leave," said one of the campers, "Maybe you can try and reason with her when she hasn't been accused of not caring about love."

I turned to leave, defeated. Annabeth followed.

"Grover, I'm so sorry," Annabeth said. I wanted to be mad at her. If maybe she had just kept her cool this could've been settled already. Clarisse isn't one to play a prank for long like this. And it was kind of strange that Annabeth hadn't stayed calm.

But I couldn't be mad at Annabeth. She was one of my best friends. And she had been trying to help me out. So really, I had to forgive her.

"It's cool," I said, though I was sure my face said otherwise. I never could keep my emotions out of my face.

"I'm gonna go find Percy," we both said at the same time.

"Oh, um, you can go talk to him," I said. They hadn't seen each other in a couple months. Besides, maybe what I needed more was to go find Juniper. Maybe I could try to reason with her. Ha, fat chance. She won't even listen to me.

But I can still try.

"Are you sure?" Annabeth was saying.

"Yeah, I'm sure. I'm probably just going to walk around for a bit. Eat some apples. Or tin cans. Or something. You know, eating always helps me when I'm dealing with a problem," I said, dejectedly.

Annabeth smirked a little. "Are you laughing at me?" I asked. Great, now she's laughing at me! Of course she is.

"No, Grover, I'm not laughing at you," Annabeth said. She punched me in the shoulder. Like a friend would, only a lot harder.

"Blahaha!" I bleated, "That hurt!"

"I'm really sorry about your girlfriend. We'll get Clarisse to understand and tell the truth. Don't you worry," Annabeth assured me.

"Okay," I said, "Thanks."

She rushed off to find Percy. I sat down for a little while, collecting my thoughts. I wanted to make sure that I didn't break down when I next saw Juniper.

When my thoughts were collected (and apples had been eaten) I started off towards the woods where my lovely Juniper bush grew.

A/N

So it's really kind of a short chapter. And in my opinion, it wasn't all that great character-wise. But what do you guys think? Constructive criticism is greatly approved of! I really do appreciate. And thank you to everyone who wrote back on my first chapter.

And, if this wasn't obvious enough, this is looking to be more like a 3 shot. I think I can finish up the story next chapter.

Thank you!
