Hey, peeps! I'm finally back with a new situation! And let me tell you, this was SOOO stressful! Seriously, have you ever lost someone else's kids before? Now, as with the first situation, this one has been modified from the truth. I was not baby-sitting, I was at a Girl Scout function. Community service thing, really. The church was having a Special Olympics celebration dinner thing, and our troop helped out. The two little ones were our Daisy Scout and her cousin, who tagged along for some unknown reason. Now please, enjoy. The next situation will be based on a real life experience, but not one of mine... *chuckles maniacally*
"Hi!" Seiya said brightly as she came through the chruch door, clutching a pan full of fresh-baked brownies. Two little girls peeked out nervously from behind her.
"Hello, Seiya!" a woman answered. In a moment, the woman was visible, and came foward to embrace the half-Saiyan, who cringed. "Thanks so much for coming to help with the dinner tonight!"
A giggle escaped one of the children. She knew that her baby-sitter was not particularly fond of being hugged.
"Oh?" the woman said, noticing the little ones. "And who may I ask-"
"I'm baby-sitting tonight to earn a little money," Seiya explained. "I figured it would be alright if I brought them with me. ...It is okay, isn't it?"
The woman smiled widely. "Of course! Did you think we would throw them out?"
Seiya chuckled. "Well, I hoped n-"
"Sheesh, Seiya! What'd you put in this thing, bricks?" an irate male voice asked.
Seiya turned and faced the door with one hand on her hip (the other was holding brownies, remember). "Quit your complaining, Trunks!" the black-haired girl commanded her friend as he appeared in the doorway, dragging a cooler behind him.
"Oh my goodness!" the church woman exclaimed. "Seiya, how much food did you bring? You weren't supposed to be preparing the whole dinner by yourself!"
Seiya smiled and waved the woman's words away. "Oh, I didn't make it all by myself! ...My mom helped."
The woman shook her head and told Trunks to bring the cooler into the kitchen. As the lavender-haired teen passed Seiya, he shot her an angry look. She stuck her tongue out at him, and the little girls giggled.
Not long after all this, people began to arrive - a lot of people, too. The girls, Kristin and Madison, who were both about six years old and rather shy, decided to make themselves scarce. The two waited patiently in the corner, watching Seiya and Trunks. Then, when both teens were busy and turned the other way, the children took off through the church's hallways. They seemed to remember seeing something interesting upon their arrival, and wanted to go check it out...

Trunks let out a satisfied sigh. "I have to hand it to you, Seiya, you're one great cook," he told her.
She rolled her eyes. "Don't try to get on my good side, Trunks. It won't get you out of training with me tomorrow." This time it was Trunks who stuck out his tongue. Seiya responded by punching him gently on the arm. Thank goodness he was a Saiyan, or he'd have been in intense pain, as Seiya's idea of gentle was enough to seriously wound a normal person.
"Bye!"
"Thanks alot!"
"We'll see you on Sunday!"
Seiya looked around. People were beginning to filter out of the church now that dinner was done. Most went ahead and left, but some stayed to help clean up. Trunks elbowed his companion. "I think that's our cue to leave. Penny said we've done enough already, and we don't have to stay and help tidy things."
Seiya rolled her eyes again. "You know, Trunks, sometimes I'd just about swear that you're afraid of cleaning supplies." However, she agreed. "Kristin, Madison, let's go!" she called. Silence was her reply.
"Kristin! Madison! I said come on," the Saiyan girl said, turning to look at the last place she'd seen the two. Her mouth fell open. "TRUNKS!" she screeched.
"What?"
"Where are the girls?"
Trunks's eyes grew wide. "They're gone?!" he asked, a note of hysteria in his voice.
"Would I be asking you where they were if they weren't?!"
The two exchanged a worried glance. Instantly, they were tearing through the church, yelling the kids' names louder and more frantically with each time they didn't get an answer.
After five minutes, Seiya was a nervous wreck. "Oh, Trunks, what am I gonna do? I was in charge of them! I was responsible for their safety and well-being! I LOST SOMEBODY'S KIDS!!" she wailed.
Trunks hugged her, and Seiya, for once, did not have to fight to keep herself from puching him. "It's alright," he assured her. "I'm sure they're fine. They're probably playing somewhere, if my knowledge of six year-old behavior is accurate."
Seiya's eyes grew wide, and she pushed Trunks away. "THAT'S IT!" she shouted, and raced to the back door, a confused Trunks at her heels.
"Seiya, where are you g-" Trunks started to ask, but broke off. Outside on the playground were two small girls, laughing and giggling as they chased eachother around.
The raven-haired girl let out a sigh of relief and fell against the wall, feeling her heart rate slow back to its normal speed. She looked at Trunks. "Let's go home," she begged. With the children in tow, they made their way back to Trunks's car in the church parking lot. Upon reaching it, Seiya threw the young ones into the backseat and collapsed in the passenger seat. Trunks chuckled and drove to the adress written on Seiya's hand to drop the children off, as it was time for their parents to be home. Once that was done, he went back to Capsule Corp, where Goten was waiting for his friend and sister to return.
Before Seiya went to bed that night, she looked at her mother. It had been Chi-Chi's idea for Seiya to watch the girls. "Mom," Seiya began.
"Yes, dear?"
"I am NEVER baby-sitting again."
