I don't own PJO.

I know, I know, I should not have started a new story. But this idea is chasing me for over two months and I felt that if I don't wrote it I would die! If anyone read my other stories, I apologize, I will update as soon as possible.

Thank you and please enjoy the chapter!

Love the babysitter

"You're hired!" -Sally Jackson said. She's a woman with brown hair and brown eyes, beautiful features and a big heart. She was kind and good, never got angry with her children. Her husband was Paul Blofis, a high school teacher. With him, Sally had two children, Polly, a brown-eyed blonde girl. Polly was cheerful, kind and curious, she loved the big girl stuff, like makeup and dresses, what made older people worship her. There was Tyson too, a baby only a year old. His eyes were big and brown and he had almost no hair.

But Sally also had an older son. Percy. Percy's father had abandoned them when she was pregnant, but Sally knew it was for good reason. He was dyslexic and had ADHD and people considered him a troublemaker. But his appearance made the girls fall for him, even some older ladies. Percy was the replica of his father. His hair was black and messy; his green eyes were a beautiful, wild and changing, like the sea. His skin was tanned, and he had perfect muscles, not marked, but there they were.

But back to the topic...School started in two days, making Paul be more busy and unable to care for children. Sally would, but she had a job in a candy store. She knew that Percy didn't have the ability to care for his half-brothers, so Sally was looking for a babysitter. Two days ago, one of the friends of Sally, Frederick Chase, had told him that his daughter was in search of a job to get money and that she would be happy to care for her children. Then Sally had arranged a meeting with the daughter of Frederick in a cafe to talk.

She had only seen the girl once before they go and live in San Francisco. She was Percy's age, and now she saw her, Sally had to admit that she was very, very beautiful.

Her name was Annabeth, Annabeth Chase. Her hair was curly and blond, and was now tied in a neat ponytail high. Her skin was tanned and her body was athletic. Anyone could think she was a typical California girl, just until you saw her eyes. They were gray, like storm clouds, but shone with intelligence. The way she spoke and acted told Sally that she was a very intelligent girl.

"Really?" -Annabeth said surprised.

Sally smiled and nodded- "Sure, why not? You seem like a good girl"

Annabeth smiled- "Thank you. I promise I will not disappoint you"

"I know. But I have a question... Why you save money?" -Annabeth's face fell a little, and Sally regretted asking that question.

"Well, I always wanted to be an architect, and I hear there's a very good university here in New York, but is very expensive and dad can't afford it. So I've been looking for a job to pay for it. Also, I'm studying for a test that they will give me, and if I pass they will give me a scholarship, but it is very complicated and I don't think that I can do it..." -Annabeth had taken a great interest in her coffee cup.

Sally smiled sadly at the girl who was in front of her- "Well, maybe I don't know you much, but I think you're a very smart girl and I promise you'll pass the exam and be a great architect"

Annabeth looked at Sally with hope and gratitude in her eyes- "You think?" -She nodded- "Wow, Thanks Mrs. Jackson, I think anyone had told me a thing like that"

"Oh, please tell me Sally"

Annabeth chuckled- "Sure Sally"

"Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow at 3?"

"Of course, Mr. Jack- Sally" -Annabeth smiled.

Each paid their things and said goodbye.

-.-.-.-.-

Today was a cold day in New York. The icy wind was blowing hard, making Sally hairs flying against her face. She walked until she could get a taxi to drive her home.

Sally opened the door of her house and entered, closing it behind quickly to keep out dirt into the house. She sighed and was received by Polly ran down the stairs to hide behind her legs. Seconds later, her eldest son down the stairs with an angry expression, looking directly at Polly.

"Mom! Help me!" -Polly murmured against her legs.

"Percy, what happened?" -Sally said tiredly.

He looked at his mother, and his expression softened a bit- "Polly stole my pen" -Sally now understands why Percy was so angry. Normally, her son didn't get angry unless it was something serious. The pen was the only memory that Percy had of his father, and although it was a common pen, he cared for it as if it were the most important.

"Polly," -Sally tried to reason- "Give the pen to your brother and tell him you're sorry"

"But," -Polly began to protest- "I want the pen"

Sally sighed again- "Polly, give it to your brother. If you want I can buy you one at the mall tomorrow. Besides, why do you want a pen? You don't know how to write"

"But I want this one!"

"Polly!"

Her daughter sighed- "Alright"- She walked over to Percy, who ducked to be at her height. Polly extended the pen as if it is painful to leave- "Sorry" -she murmured.

Percy snatched it from her little hand and put it in the pocket of his jacket- "I forgive you, but don't do it again" -Polly nodded slightly and threw her arms around the neck of her half-brother. He was surprised by the action, but smiled and hugged her back. Sally smiled at her children. They wanted like brothers, and she loved it so.

When they separated, Percy stood up and Polly turned to her mother.

"Mommy... you hired a babysitter?" -Her daughter asked, her hands twitching.

Sally nodded- "Yes, and-"

"But Mom..." -her two children began to protest, saying that they did not need a babysitter, that they already were big, so on.

"Kids, enough!" -Both fell silent instantly- "She is a girl of your age Percy, and she is very pretty and intelligent, and she will take over Tyson while I'm gone. She will help you with homework and clean the house"

"You think she likes princesses and tea?" –Her daughter of 6 year old asked innocently. Sally hesitated. She didn't think that Annabeth was a girly-girl, but she didn't want to disappoint her daughter.

"Sure honey, she will also play with you" -Polly's face lit up and she went to her room.

Percy snorted- "Please tell me that this is not a bitchy crazy babysitter that all she wants to do is kiss me" -Sally remembered the last babysitter she had hired for two days in the summer. Paul and she had gone for Montauk alone a weekend and she had hired a girl named Calypso to look after Tyson. She was a nice girl and pretty as she was, but Percy told her that the first day she had sent Polly and Tyson to bed early and that she had chased him through the house to get a kiss. At the end of the day, Percy had managed to her to leave and he cared for his brothers for the rest of the weekend. Beautiful story.

"No, Percy" -Sally smiled- "Annabeth is a good girl, and I also know his father. And I think when you were 5 or 6 years you met, and were very good friends"

She approached him and ruffled his son's hair before going to the kitchen.

"I don't remember any friend" -Percy muttered confused.

-.-.-.-.-

The next day, the whole house was a mess. It was nearly three o'clock, the hour when Annabeth would go to the house. Sally dressed for work, Paul finished arranged to go to school, Tyson cried and Percy and Polly fought over the remote.

But the house was silent when the doorbell rang.

"Percy, open the door that must be Annabeth!" –Sally yelled.

Polly stuck her tongue out at Percy and stayed with the remote. He groaned in frutracion and rose from the couch. He looked at his watch. Three o'clock.

'Wow, this girl is too specific' -he thought.

Percy opened the door only to meet with a girl. A very pretty one, in his opinion. She had curly blond hair tied in a ponytail. Her skin was tanned and you could tell that her body was athletic. But what caught the attention of Percy were her eyes. They were stormy gray, shining with intelligence.

Percy smiled- "The new babysitter?" –She nodded- "Hi, I'm Percy. Nice to meet you" -He extended his hand for a greeting.

She shook his hand- "Annabeth, Annabeth Chase"
