~Babysitting Sabo's time - Tea party~

Sabo walked up and down. He checked his clock. Two hours left. Two hours to get everything ready for his study date with Koala. Two hours to get his brothers out of the house.

Luffy would be easy. His little brother would be easy. In one hour he would be picked up by Marco and Haruta. The first son of Whitebeard promised that he would take the black-haired boy and his best female friend, Whitebeard's only daughter, to an amusement park. So Sabo would just help Luffy pack some snacks and it would be fine.

Ace was a bit the problem. His older brother didn't have any plans at the moment as far as he knew. So how to get him out of the house?

He let himself fall on the sofa in his room. What could he do? Just ask him? No. Not a chance. Ace would use that to tease him or get a big deal out of it. Involving doing a lot of chores and doing his slightly older brother's homework.

„Oi, Sabo, Thatch just called. He got a last minute invite to a cooking event. He can take three guests with him. Blamenco is already with him and I will go, too. Want to come with us?", Ace said as he burst into the room without knocking.

Sabo a bit shocked fell from the sofa. „Ace, you idiot. Ever heard of knocking?", the blonde scolded. The black-haired young man just laughed. „I did knock, you just didn't hear it. So you want to come with us?", Ace asked. „When is this event?" „In thirty minutes and will last at least five hours."

Sabo blinked. Was there a god who liked him?

„I would say yes, but I already have other plans. Koala is coming over in two hours to study for this important test I told you about", the blonde said. „Yeah, I remember. But you won't study long, you have some other plans in mind with your girlfriend, haven't you?" Ace grinned while Sabo started to blush a bit.

„I see how it is. Have fun, little brother. I'll bring you some snacks from the event if anything is left over", Ace said. „Hey. We still don't know for sure who is older. Just because this old lady at the orphanage said you are mostly older because you are born on the first January", Sabo protested. His cheeks were a deep red now. But Ace just laughed.

One hour later Ace was already away and Marco just came by with Haruta to pick Luffy up. His little brother hugged him goodbye before he jumped the older blonde as greeting. Marco scolded him lightly for that but returned the hug of the black-haired boy. „I'll bring him back around eight, yoi."

Sabo waved until they were in the car and started to drive away. Fifty minutes left. Now he had to prepare everything needed. He was so busy preparing everything that he didn't hear the doorbell at first.

The blonde jumped down the stairs to hurry to the door. It couldn't be Koala, yet. It was still fifteen minutes until the arranged time. Sure, she was sometimes early, but never that early.

Sabo opened the door a bit out of breath and got something, well someone shoved into his arms. „See you later, Sweetie. Daddy will pick you up. Everything she needs is in the back", the woman said and left in a hurry.

The blonde blinked and looked down to see a light pink haired, three-year-old girl with black eyes and a big teddy-bear in his arms. „Uhm, hi?", Sabo said a bit unsure. „I don't like you", the girl stated.

He didn't know how to react to this. „So how is your daddy and when will he pick you up?", Sabo said. „Daddy is Daddy. Don't know. Sometimes he comes back very late", the girl looked a bit unhappy and hugged her teddy bear.

Okay… Sabo would take it back. If there was a god, he hated him. No one was so cruel to first make the house empty except him and then send him a little girl to babysit.

„So little girl, will you behave? A friend is coming to study with me for an important test, so I'll give you cookies and some pillows…", Sabo started, but the girl stopped him. „I want a tea party. If I don't get a tea party, I'll scream."

„Listen, I don't have time to play tea party with you. But I can get some guest from my brother's room or better set one up there for you." Sabo hoped to convince the girl that way. But she just shook her head. This was bad.

Another rang of the doorbell. Koala was here. Koala was here and he hadn't found a way to busy the girl, yet. Perhaps she knew a way. That was his only hope at the moment. He wasn't used to taking care of a little girl. Sure, he had a little brother. But the behaviour of Luffy and this girl were as different as possible.

„Hi, Koala", Sabo greeted his girlfriend and gave her a short kiss. „Ew", the girl shrieked. „Hi, Sabo and hi, little one", Koala greeted with a smile. „My name is Perona, not little one", the rosette protested.

„Her mother just left her here a few minutes ago and she won't be picked up until later", Sabo said and let the light red-haired young woman in. „Well, I guess that means only studying and then leave you to babysitting", she said while a little smile. The blonde looked annoyed at his girlfriend.

That was not his plan. Really not exactly.

Two hours of studying had Perona whining that she was bored. Koala had tried to help but this little girl was a devil. She wasn't happy with anything that he or his girlfriend had suggested. She just wanted a tea party.

A tea party they couldn't have at the moment. Their studying was important at the moment. At least that should be done. Even if the last part of the planned studying date.

„Well, it was nice studying with you, Sabo. But I have to go now. A friend of my uncle is coming over and I have to be there", Koala apologized and kissed him goodbye after they studied for around two hours. „I guess you should play tea party with her. It could be helpful to calm her down as nothing really worked. I'm sorry I can't stay to help you." She waved at him as she left.

Sabo sighed. „Okay, I'm playing tea party with you."

The girl pouted. She looked still unhappy, even if she got her wish now. „So what do we need for a tea party?" „You need to be pretty and cute." Sabo cringed. He didn't like this own bit.

And he was right. Perona was only happy as she was able to apply lots of makeup to his face and put lots of ribbons in his hair.

He hoped that her father would be back before his brothers came back. Otherwise, he would be teased forever. Not only by his own brothers but also from Thatch and the others. That was something he liked to avoid.

„Do you want some tea?"

Just keep smiling was the only thought he had in mind while having a tea party. „Your smile is creepy and not cute!" How long till her father picks her up?

A sudden knock on his door made him shriek and did scare Perona.

„So Sabo, how was your study date with…", his adopted father Shanks started to ask before the redhaired man noticed Perona. „Aren't you Mihawk's little daughter?" „I don't like you", the rosette said

„You know her father?!" „Yes. Her father is an old friend of mine. That's why her mother drops her off at our house very often", Shanks said and looked at Sabo. „Aren't you looking cute. I should take a picture of that."

Sabo's eyes widened. „No, you don't or I tell mom about that secret stash." „Okay… no picture for the photo album of embarrassing moments in the life of my three little boys to share with Newgate over a nice cup of sake."

„Ne, Perona, this man will play with you now", Sabo said. „No, don't want to. Don't like him", Perona stated.

„I would help you, but she doesn't like me for some reason. She gets along with your mother as far as I know", Shanks said. „But I'll make something to eat for you two."

And that his father did. While Perona was eating, Sabo washed his face and got ridden off the ribbons.

Now how can he survive the rest of the babysitting?
