A/N: You all are awesome! I just updated two days in a row and people are commenting, "Update soon; can't wait!" You must love this story as much as I do! Anyways, I have taking people's ideas into account.

Disclaimer: Do you even need me to repeat that I don't own anything, nor am I making a profit from this?

No POV:

"My tummy hurts!" Connor complained.

"Told you that they'd get stomachaches," Clarisse whispered to Little Annabeth.

"Here, Connor."Percy got a pill from the backpack that Chiron had given him. Connor swallowed it and frowned.

"Still hurts!" he complained again.

"It won't stop hurting for a while, stupid." Clarisse muttered. Connor had heard her and started crying.

"Clarisse! They're five! You can't be like that." Percy scolded.

"Oh, well. Is that the backpack we got from Tyche?" Clarisse asked.

"Yeah." Travis answered. "But how are we going to watch three kids and save more?"

"We should charge people for saving their kids!" Clarisse suggested. "I would be rich!"

"We're doing this out of the kindness of our hearts, Clarisse." Percy said.

Clarisse stifled a laugh. "And when have I ever had kindness in my heart?"

Percy thought for a moment. "Good point,"

"Anyway," Travis looked around the Poseidon cabin. "Where are the kids?"

"Oh, gods," Percy searched around frantically. "They're not here."

"In case you dimwits have noticed," Clarisse chimed in. "But the door is open. They probably left because you were boring to them."

"You couldn't have told us earlier?" Percy asked as he ran outside.

Travis saw three Aphrodite girls in a circle, gossiping about the latest stuff. He ran up to them.

"Hey, have you seen three kids? They look like Annabeth, Nico, and Connor?"

Drew nodded and rolled her eyes. "I don't suppose they're yours? They went to the volleyball court. They said something about finding a magic leprechaun."

"Um, thanks." Travis answered.

"You know where they are?" Percy questioned.

"Well, you know when we told them that a leprechaun was making Camp Half-Blood magical? They're kind of searching for that leprechaun." Travis explained.

"What! Ugh, I can't believe you lost them before we even went on the quest!" Clarisse sighed. "You two are going to make horrible dads. Let's go get them."

On the way to the volleyball court, Percy and Travis protested that Clarisse was the one that had lost the kids. Clarisse tuned them out.

They finally reached the sandy volleyball court and found no trace of Connor, Annabeth, or Nico.

"This is just great. When Chiron finds out—" Percy was interrupted by the camp's intercom.

"Travis, Percy, and Clarisse please report to the Big House. We have your kids." Mr. D announced over the intercom.

"At least they're not running around the camp anymore," Travis said.

Annabeth, Nico, and Connor were watching Elmo. They all were lying in front of the television on their stomachs, and were holding a stuffed animal in their hands. Connor had a stuffed snake, while Annabeth had a stuffed owl. Nico had a smiling skeleton, which he held onto dearly.

Annabeth was starting to get used to Connor and Nico. She had found out they were very funny, even though they were messy.

Mr. D sat in a leather seat behind them, reading the newspaper. He hated babysitting, but these kids actually knew how to shut up—unlike the teens at Camp Half-Blood.

"Hey, guys!" Travis yelled as he stepped into the Bug House. The kids didn't even turn around. Their eyes were still glued to the TV.

"It was quiet in here before you showed up," Mr. D growled. "Take your kids. I'm going on the porch to play Go Fish."

Travis sat down next to Nico, who wasn't paying any attention to him.

"Hey, kid. What this show called?" he asked.

"Elmo. The best show in the world." Nico didn't take his eyes off the screen.

Clarisse slumped on the couch and started polishing her spear.

Percy eyed the spear then looked at the kids on the floor nervously. "Clarisse, put that away. If they see it, they'll freak out."

Nico screamed.

Clarisse and Percy whipped their heads to see Nico crawling under the couch.

"It probably wasn't me," Clarisse said defensively.

"We all know it was you and your stupid spear!" Travis protested.

Percy crouched and looked under the couch. Nico was crying.

"Nico what's wrong?" Percy asked.

"Scary vampire," he murmured.

"What—"

Annabeth turned around to explain to him. "He means the vampire counting on the screen. It's not scary, Nico. He's funny. Come see."

"He'll h-hurt me," Nico stammered.

"No he won't. Connor and I aren't dead, are we?" Annabeth said.

Nico peeked his head out from under the couch. The Count had disappeared from the screen and dust bunnies came on. Nico giggled at sat where he originally was.

Percy was still kneeling. He was so confused. What kind of kid is scared of a vampire that counts? Seriously?

"Told you it wasn't me," Clarisse bragged. "It was the stupid vampire dude."

"Come on, you guys." Travis said as he turned off the TV. Connor, Annabeth, and Nico complained. "Let's go outside of camp! If you're good, we'll buy you a toy!"

"A toy?" Nico and Connor's faces lit up with excitement.

"Yeah. Now come on," Clarisse walked out of the Big House without waiting for Percy and Travis.

Percy picked up Connor while Travis picked up Nico and Annabeth. They got to the arch—otherwise known as the entrance to Camp Half-Blood—and stopped there.

"You three have to be very good on this road trip," Percy explained to the kids.

"Okay!" They all agreed.

"Ready, everyone?" Clarisse said as she slung the backpack on her shoulder.

They all nodded and headed down Half-Blood Hill, and away from Thalia's Pine. Percy, Travis, and Clarisse hoped it wouldn't be the last time that they saw it, like all the other demigods who had taken the very same dangerous quest. But what they forgot to pray for was to not get into trouble—the demigods would soon regret it.

A/N: Short chapter because I'm busy today. Hopefully I'll write a longer one later. Anyways, in the next chapter, they go into the busy city of Manhattan, where Annabeth begs for a…Fijit Friend!
