Adventures In Babysitting (HoO AU)

Chapter 2

Annabeth POV

"About time you guys showed up!" Piper complained as a van pulled up. A small Latino kid came out, cursing in Spanish. I still felt a need to cover everyone's ears, including mine, but I didn't have any extra hands.

"Piper, do you know how hard it is to round up people? Even with Calypso helping?" He asked as some other people came out of the car. I noticed the blonde boy, and gave him a confused look.

"Do I know you from somewhere?" I asked.

"Uh, no, not unless you go to a bunch of parties." He said nervously, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Okay... Everyone, in the van! Let's go!" I quickly ushered everyone in the van as Piper twirled her hair flirtatiously with the blonde kid. "You can flirt later. Right now, we have to find Travis!"

"Wait, Piper, what's going on?" The Latino asked.

"I'll tell you what happened, she let a kid sneak out to the Siren's concert!" I screeched.

"Annabeth, calm down." Piper said. "Sorry about her. She's a little high strung."

"I am not high strung!" I countered. "You're forgetting the fact that you lying to the Stoll's and letting their son sneak off to a concert will ruin my reputation!"

"Like this little incident could ruin your reputation." Piper said doubtfully.

"It could!"

"Piper, what did you do?" The blonde boy questioned.

"Our phones made a switch, she lied to the parents, and now we have to go find someone who snuck out. Now, if you don't mind, I'm driving." I took the keys from the Latino and got in the driver's seat. "Now either you all get in the car, or I'm leaving you all behind!"

"Esa chica seguro que es agresivo." He responded, hopping into the car. (That girl sure is pushy.)

"Sí, y estoy a punto de conseguir aún más agresivo si todo no consigue en el coche estúpida!" I almost yelled as the other two got into the car, Piper in the front seat. (Yes, and I'm about to get even more pushy if you don't get into the stupid car!)

I pulled out of the driveway and started driving. About twenty minutes in, there was already some complaints.

"Can't you drive any faster?" Piper complained.

"Excuse me for wanting to be safe."

"Ew!" Miranda screeched as I looked behind everyone.

"Dejar de hacer la parte de atrás allí! Hay niños presentes!" I yelled as the Latino and what seemed to be his girlfriend backed away from each other. (Stop making out back there! There are children present!)

"Hablar sobre el capitán matanza del zumbido." The Latino muttered. (Talk about Captain Buzzkill.)

"Can you just shut up! I'm trying to focus on driving, and I can't do that with you to making out back there!" I switched to English as one girl perked up.

"Do you even know our names?"

"No, and right now, I don't care."

"Well, I'm telling you anyway, the Latino is Leo, the girl he was making out with is Calypso, the blonde boy is Jason, the boy next to me is Frank and I'm Hazel."

"Please forgive me Hazel, but right at the moment, I don't care. You can remind me when we get to wherever he's getting these tickets. Thalia, did you happen to see that?"

"Yeah! It's a place called Kronos's Pawn Shop." Thalia said as Piper set up a camera.

"Say cheese Annabeth!"
