Love the Babysitter
"This says that marine biology is a branch of biology that deals with the study of living things that inhabit the marine environment." Annabeth read from her computer.
"Yes, but does not say how many eggs the goldfish reproduced," Percy objected.
"I know! But I'm looking for!" Annabeth groaned. She was looking for the answer to question 7 on her laptop, and Percy was behind her, annoying her. Nico was sitting on the sofa opposite, laughing.
"I still think the answer is in Finding Nemo" Nico said suddenly.
"Nico, Nemo is a clownfish, not a goldfish." Percy said, looking at him. He just shrugged.
"Whatever," Annabeth said, lowering her gaze back to her laptop.
"Oh, click on that" Percy said, pointing to a page.
"SammyTheGoldFish?" Annabeth asked incredulously.
Percy shrugged "Got any other ideas?" She opened her mouth to respond and then closed it. She had no ideas. She opened the page and a giant goldfish appeared on the screen.
'Welcome to the website of Sammy, the goldfish! I do not know why you are interested in data of a fish, but you will have everything here!'
Then the fish disappeared and the page appeared "Okaaay" Annabeth muttered. She sought and entered the button that said Reproduction.
"The smaller goldfish have between 100 or 50 eggs or less, and the largest have between 1000 and 2500" Percy read. He was so close to Annabeth's ear that she could feel his breath while reading, sending chills through her body. "Seriously? 15 minutes for that?" he said, moving away.
"At least we learned that those fishes do not waste time," Nico said, and instantly Percy and Nico laughed while Annabeth rolled her eyes muttering 'Boys'.
She grabbed her notebook and began to write down the answer. When the boys settled down, they did the same.
"What next?" Percy asked Annabeth.
She looked at the questionnaire and said "How sharks have babies?"
-.-.-.-.-
"House of Hades is the name of my father's business. There's one in Epirus, Greece and one in Rome, Italy. It's a pretty creepy office that prepares funerals. Dad wants Nico handle this when he finishes school, but he doesn't want. Nico is quite rebellious" Bianca told her friends. All were in 'Beauregard Chocolate', where also served coffee or other drinks to accompany the chocolate or candy of the shop. The walls were pink, the floor was white, and the tables were like in a coffee but combined with the romantic atmosphere of the chocolate shop.
"And what Nico wants?" Thalia asked curiously.
The other smiled, but Bianca (who did not know about Thalia's crush) just shrugged "He doesn't know, is undecided."
"What about you?" Thalia asked, ignoring the stares and smiles of her friends.
"Well, I was thinking of working in the travel business, 'The hunters of Artemis', a group of girls carrying people on private trips," Bianca said, taking a sip of her coffee "You know them?"
"Really? I was thinking the same thing!" Thalia exclaimed.
"Isn't that the group of girls who renounce men to work there because her boss's requests?" Silena asked.
"Yeah," They both said at the same time.
"B-But," Silena stammered "You can't give up men!"
"It's a sacrifice I'm willing to do," Bianca responds immediately.
Thalia nodded "Me too."
Silena looked with horror "But then you never will feel love!"
Thalia shrugged "As if a guy wanted to date me." she stated.
"But Thalia," Piper intervened "Of course some guy will want to date you! And what about you know who?"
"He can have all the girls he wants," Thalia said as if that did not matter.
"Who?" Bianca asked.
"Yes, tell us who Thalia," A shrill voice came from behind her. Suddenly, a painted and manicured fingernails dug into the table.
"What do you want Tanaka?" Thalia said without turning around. She believed that if she saw that beautiful Asian face she will beat it. Hard.
"Nothing, we were just passing through here, and saw you through the glass, so we thought that maybe we could join us, to your... small party." 'Oh, great' Thalia thought 'The three are here'.
"No you cannot." Piper said coldly.
"Too bad for you," Drew said, and with that, she and her followers dragged chairs to the table and sat down.
"Where is your little blonde friend, Annabelle?" Rachel asked with a smile. All knew that if Annabeth had been there, Rachel, Reyna and Drew had not even thought to appear. Annabeth always won with her words, making others run out of words. Sure, Thalia also could win, but only with fists. But do not be fooled, Annabeth also knew fight. And judo key.
"She is babysitting." Katie replied.
"Where, if we can know?"
All eyes crossed, and came to a silent agreement. "At Percy Jackson's home" Piper said triumphantly.
"And Nico is there." Bianca added.
Rachel and Drew's faces were priceless.
-.-.-.-.-
"Finally!" Annabeth exclaimed "This stupid marine biology homework!"
Percy and Nico laughed "Yes, I was getting tired," Nico said.
"Of what?" Annabeth asked amused "I did all the work! You just write the answers!"
"Hey! I searched the last question and I helped you find the others!" Percy gave credit to himself.
"Whatever you say Perce" Annabeth said keeping her things and getting up from the sofa.
Percy rolled his eyes, but smiled. "Hey, Tyson, let's take a mini-nap," she said, raising the baby that was all the time sitting watching the teenagers discuss and do homework. She smiled at the two boys who looked at her for the last time and disappeared, up the stairs with the baby in her arms.
"Annabeth is cool," Nico said once she was gone.
Percy nodded, still looking in the direction that she had left "Yes, she is," And before Nico can mock him, the doorbell rang.
Percy frowned and looked at Nico, who shrugged. Percy walked to the door and opened it, only to take the surprise (very disgusting) of his life.
