Before you read this, I don't hate Frank, OK? Just in case you think I do. I just think it's funny for Leo and Fran not being able to stand each other and that it would be cool and dangerous for Leo to get his own little army of little kids.

Frank

" Weeeeeeeeeee," Hazel said as she ran around Frank. Percy and Jason were running from Nico. Hopefully they were just playing tag. Frank had been stuck with them first. They had gotten them all tents. Unfortunately, Jason and Percy had to share tents and so did Nico and Hazel. None of them looked to happy about it. Right now they were extra hyper though. Frank cursed Leo for giving them king size bars. Leo probably knew they would act like this because he insisted on Frank caring for them first. They wouldn't stop moving around and Frank didn't know what to do.

"Come back here," Nico yelled at Percy and Jason. It was all Frank could do to keep his sanity. Two hour passed and it was Annabeth's turn to babysit. When she got there, she saw the kids acting like they had been injected with caffeine. They were crowding Frank, telling him to turn into different animals.

"Turn into a cute little puppy,please, please, please!" said Hazel.

"No, a giant eagle!" Jason demanded.

"I want to see a lion!" Nico said.

"A horse!" Percy insisted.

"Annabeth," Frank ran to her. "Thank the gods, you're here. My turn's over, see ya and good luck," he said and ran to camp. He was definitely not going to want kids now. Hopefully Annabeth would have a better time than him. Frank hated to call his girlfriend this but they all acted like little monster.

Leo

Leo was just working on the building from yesterday. It was supposed to be a school but he needed help carrying the heavy bags from the truck.

"Leo," Frank called out.

"Perfect timing, Frank. Can you help me move-" Leo said but Frank cut him off.

"Don't pretend I don't know Valdez. You made me babysit the little kids knowing they were hyped up on sugar. You know the torture I had to go through?"

"I didn't know, but don't worry, it's almost my turn. I'm sure they weren't that bad. Annabeth should've finished giving them dinner by now," Leo said as he cleaned himself up to go to Thalia's tree. "You can come with me if you don't have anything else to do,"

"Fine but just to see they torture you," Frank said.

When they got their Annabeth was sitting near their tents and Percy, Nico, Jason and Hazel were sitting listening to her reading a book.

"Yeah, Frank, this looks like hyped up kids," Leo said.

"Look Frank came back. Turn into a puppy now," Hazel said.

"Annabeth, were they any trouble?" Leo asked.

"Well after Frank left they all fell asleep, then I fed them and they got bored so I was reading the Princess and the Pea to them," Annabeth said. Frank looked surprised.

"Well that's not fair, they were so hyper, I thought I was going to go crazy."

"Well, it's my turn to babysit so you guys can go," Leo said and waved them off.

"Alright but don't do anything stupid," Annabeth warned.

Frank snorted, "That's like asking him to stop being annoying." When they left, Leo looked at the kids, who were waiting for him to do something.

"Ok so I guess we got off on the wrong foot. Let's be friends," Leo suggested. They looked at each other for a second then nodded.

"Cool, that was easy," Leo said.

"I want story time!" Hazel said.

"I don't know any stories."

"Then make one up," Percy said and they all sat down in front of them. Leo sighed and sat down too.

"I know, I'll tell you one of my heroic moments," Leo said.

"...and then I bravely crushed the stupid Cyclopes, did a backflip while I was at it, and rescued Piper and Jason single-handily," Leo finished.

"I don't remember you doing all that stuff," Jason said.

"You were unconscious so you wouldn't remember me doing all that," Leo said.

"WOW, Epic!" Percy said.

"You were really brave," Hazel said. Leo felt kind of proud of himself. They liked the story although he might have exaggerated a bit in some parts. Just then Frank came back.

"Have they been any trouble?" He asked hopefully.

"Nah, they were good little kids," Leo said.

"Oh," Frank said disappointed, "Well Annabeth said that Thalia might show up at any time and you should get them something to protect themselves with."

"Already did. I'm not going to let Team Leo go without a weapon," Leo said.

"Wait, why is it Team Leo?" Percy asked, "Why not Team Percy?"

"No way, that's a lame name for a team. Now Team Jason, that sounds cool," Jason said.

"How come it can't be Team Hazel?" Hazel demanded.

"Because you're the youngest," Nico suggested, "And you're annoying."

"I'm not annoying!" She said. They started arguing with each other.

"Hey! We can think of the Team name later, right now, I have to give you weapons." They calmed down. "Now you are young for your old weapons and so no one gets suspicious, I made them look like toys." He took out a small water gun and looked at Percy, "Ok this is for you Perce. It has infinite water supplies when you hold it, but it has some water in it already. Be careful though because the water pressure in powerful so if you shoot someone they will be pushed up to ten feet," He said.

"Cool," Percy said.

"Yeah, now don't ever do something like this," Leo said and pointed the water gun at Frank.

"Uh, Leo. What are you doing," Frank asked and Leo splashed him. Frank was knocked off his feet. He was soaked and he looked angry.

"Valdez," He growled. Leo quickly handed the water gun to Percy.

"Percy did it," He said simply but Frank was on his feet, ready to jump Leo. Just then, he got hit by the force of the water again and landed a few feet away from Leo and the kids.

"Like that, Leo?" Percy asked as he put down the water gun.

"Awesome job, Perce, but that's what you're not supposed to do. Only to Life threatening things. On second thought I would've been dead if it wasn't for you, never mind." Then Leo went Jason. "Okay so I also got you a gun, but this one helps you concentrate on a specific point so you can electrocute things. It'll only work if you're holding it so I can't demonstrate. You're the source of the energy but be careful. Don't shoot when you get mad at someone. That goes for you too Percy." Both of the boys looked disappointed. Leo gave Jason the gun. He gave Nico a sword that looked like his own but it looked like it was made of wood. Nico frowned at him.

"Not everything is what it seems," Leo said and pushed a small button under the hilt and it turned into an exact replica of Nico's sword except smaller.

"Woah, thanks Leo," Nico smiled.

"What do I get, Leo? What do I get?" Hazel said. Leo knelt to Hazel's height. That's when Frank finaly came over.

"I hate you sometimes Leo, actually I hate you period," He said.

"Careful, or Jason will get to try that gun I gave him on you," Leo grinned which made Frank take a step back because Jason already had his gun pointed at him.

"Now, Hazel. You don't get a weapon since you are only four," Hazel looked sad, "But, you get this. Close your eyes," Hazel shut her eyes tight bouncing up and down. Leo took out a little princess crown from his tool belt that was covered in jewels. "Ok you can open them."

Hazel screamed in excitement when she saw the crown. "Thank you, Thank you Leo," she gave him a quick hug and tried the crown on. "How do I look," she asked.

"You look like a princess," Leo said and he got up. "Jason you can put the gun down." Jason looked sad but did put down the gun.

"Hey, why don't we name the team Team Leo now, that way you guys don't have to fight about it and I am older," Leo reasoned.

"Yeah, Team Leo!" Hazel cheered as she twirled around, showing off her crown.

"He did give us these cool things," Percy said, "Yeah, Team Leo for the win," He said. Jason and Nico also started cheering at the name.

"Great, you've brainwashed them," Frank sighed.

"Hey, not my fault I can bond with them."

"Not my fault I don't have the mind of a six year old," Frank shot back. Leo came up with an idea.

"Hey, guys since I'm your leader, we should play a game," Leo told them. The kids cheered louder.

"What's the game?" asked Nico.

"It's called Catch the Klutz," Leo confirmed and looked at Frank.

"Woah, wait. Leo, don't you dare," Frank warned already backing away from Team Leo.

"Here are the rules. #1 No weapons, we can't hurt him too much," Leo started.

"Too much?" Frank asked. Leo ignored him.

"#2 whoever trips him first, wins. #3 We dog pile him at the end," Leo continued.

"What?!" Frank put his hands up as to surrender.

"And the most important rule, no shape shifting, Frank. GO!" Leo yelled and the kids chased after Frank. Frank looked so freaked out that he couldn't even shape shift and just ran for it. It took a while but Leo managed to trip them. He yelled, "Dog pile!" and he fell and Frank's back, followed by Percy, Jason, Nico and Hazel at the top.

"Get off of me, Leo," Frank ordered.

"I can't Zhang. The kids are on top of me too," Leo said while he laughed. Just then he saw the Hunters of Artemis. Annabeth and Piper started walking to them too.

"Frank, Leo. What are you ding?" Annabeth asked when she saw everyone on top of Frank.

"Leo has turned my girlfriend against me," Frank grumbled under Leo.

"Come on, Frank. It's not that bad." Leo said as he finally got off of Frank. Thalia came up to them and looked at Percy, Jason, Nico, and Hazel.

"You weren't kidding when you said the aged backwards," Thalia murmured. "Well, Artemis says it's ok as long as the boys don't hit on the Hunters even though I think that's impossible anyway."

"Ew, girls have cooties!" Nico said. Percy and Jason agreed.

"Hey! Well, boys are stupid," Hazel shot back.

"Hazel does have a point," Artemis stepped up, as a twelve year old.

"Well boy are better than girls," Percy argued.

"No, they aren't," Hazel glared at the trio of boys.

"No time for arguing," Annabeth intervened, "Just get your bags that we got for you."

"But we can't leave," Jason said.

"Yeah, Leo's our leader, is he coming too?" Hazel asked.

"Leo, what did you do to these kids?" Piper asked.

"Brainwashed them," Frank muttered.

"I did not! It just that we have a lot in common. I can't help that I'm likable," Leo said.

"Piper turned her attention back to the kids, "Sorry guys but Leo can't go. He has stuff to do here."

"But there can't be Team Leo without Leo," Nico insisted.

"As much as I would love to go with you guys, Piper's right. I have things to do here but don't worry, Thalia will take care of you." He looked at Thalia, "They better come back just like you got them or I'm burning your hair off."

"Sheesh Valdez, I thought you had a crush on me," Thalia said surprised at Leo's seriousness.

"What can I say," Leo shrugged, "They've grown on me. Come on kids, give Uncle Leo a hug," and Percy, Jason, Nico, and Hazel jumped on him, which caused him to fall on the ground. "I'll miss you to guys, but I can't breath." They finally got off him.

"Well, we have to go," Artemis interrupted, "Get the kids already."

"Come on Jason, Percy, Nico and Hazel. Wow that's long to say all the time. How about I just call you midgets?" Thalia asked them as they got their bags and were hurrying to her.

"Who are you calling midget?" challenged Nico.

"The little five year old," Thalia replied, "Now hold hands because I'm not losing you. You heard Leo, he'll burn my hair off if I even bring you back with one hair missing."

"I'm not holding Percy's hand!" Jason said.

"Well I don't want to either, Grace!"

"Is this how is going to be the whole time?" Thalia asked Annabeth. She simply shrugged. They started walking away, into the mortal world.

"Bye everyone," they called at us.

"See you soon," Piper said

"Take care of each other!" Frank reminded them.

"Be on your best behavior!" Annabeth added.

"And remember, TEAM LEO FOR THE WIN!" Leo yelled and the kids cheered.

"Team Leo! Team Leo!" They chanted and it was obvious the Hunters didn't like it.

"Do you have mind control?" asked Annabeth. Leo simply shrugged. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't.

"We should get back and try to figure out how to get rid of the curse," said Leo and they headed back into camp.

Sorry, I couldn't help but write this chapter and thought, might as well update, right?
