I don't own PJO or HOO. That king of troll, you know? Rick Riordan? Well, he owns them.

Thank you all for reading, review, favorite/follow this story, it makes my day! Hope you enjoyed Percabeth! So, I felt that Leo had only appeared in one chapter and it was unfair, so here's Flame Boy, especially for all the girls who love him!

Enjoy!

Love the Babysitter

Piper walked down the street addressing the repair shop where Leo worked. She had not seen him all day, and she missed his annoying presence. She wore a T-shirt 3/4 sleeve that says 'New York, 84, Wild Heart', jeans and dark red slippers.

Leo's story was somewhat complicated, at least she knew that. His father had never appeared and his mother had died in a workshop when he was 8. The only family he had was his aunt Rosa, but she despised him and threw him into the street. The police had found him and taken him to a foster home. He had run away. That had been repeated six times. That stopped when the police had sent him to the Wildness School, when he was 13. There, Piper and Leo had met and made best friends. After a year, Piper's father had forgiven her for stealing the MBW (long story) so she would attend Goode, but Leo would stay there alone. Piper had persuaded her father to get a home for Leo, so Tristan McLean, (yes, the famous actor) had gotten the owner of a machine shop to adopt him. Leo had been grateful for a time, because he would also go to Goode High. But Piper recalled a time when they were 14 years old when Leo had wanted to run away again.

-Two years ago-

It was September 9, a cloudy and windy afternoon; the mood was sad, gray clouds in the sky threatening to start falling at any time. And Leo's birthday.

Piper remembered have dressed especially for the occasion, she wore a gray sweater with a bow, jeans, gray slippers, a gray scarf, earrings and a silver ring.

It had been a month since he lived in the workshop and Piper was happy for him. Maybe he had found a place to stay permanently.

That thought was erased when Piper envisioned a figure out of the workshop door. She was only a few feet away, but she knew it was Leo. His curly black hair was moving in the wind, his Power Rangers backpack was hanging on his shoulder. He frantically looked both ways before running off in the opposite direction in which Piper was. He had not noticed her.

"Leo! Where are you going?" Piper yelled while running after him. He did not turn around, he ignored her.

She tried to pick up the pace, but, God, he was very fast when he wanted. But she did not gave up and ran after him, her heart had started to beat faster.

"Leo! Wait, don't go away!" she yelled again. He kept running.

Piper was panicking. What if she never reached him and he ran away and never came back and they never see each other again.

'No' Piper thought 'There's not going to be seventh time'

She quickened her pace, her breathing began to be difficult and breathy, and the beatings of her heart were faster and stronger.

'Someday he is going to get tired, I hope' Piper thought when they had run as 8 blocks.

They ran a little longer until Piper was tired. Silent tears ran down her cheeks as the rain began to fall heavily.

"Come on!" Piper yelled "Go away and leave me alone!" (*)

She buried her face in her hands and cried. The rain had soaked her from top to bottom, and she could not care less. She did not know how much time passed so until some warm arms passed over her shoulders.

"Sorry Piper," That was Leo's voice, trying to calm her.

She did not answer, but wrapped her arms around his waist. She sobbed on his shoulder until she had calmed down a bit.

"Why were you running away again? I thought you liked the workshop," Piper said, trying that her voice does not crack.

"I like it, but it brings back bad memories." he said.

"Look Leo," she said "Not that anything bad will happen. Please stay with me; I do not want to be alone"

"Okay, Piper" he smiled, pulling away from their embrace "You caught me, I'm not going anywhere."

"You better, Valdez" Piper smiled, all anger forgotten. One of the many skills of Leo was get smiles to people even in the worst moments. Piper remembered why she had gone to the workshop first. She pulled out a bag and said "Happy Birthday, Leo Valdez"

He looked surprised at first, but then smiled "Thanks," He opened the bag and pulled out a military jacket that had several pockets so he could keep all his stuff. He smiled and put it on.

"Well, I think we should go back, we are soaked" Piper suggested.

Leo laughed "I do not think we can get wet more than what we are" a thunder sounded.

"Does not matter, let's get back." Piper insisted.

"Okay, okay! Do not get mad!" Leo laughed and put an arm around her shoulders.

They walked to the workshop, until suddenly asked Piper: "Power Rangers? Seriously Leo?"

-Now-

Piper walked through the glass door. There was a wooden table, a chair and a couple of pictures. It was nothing special, because the workshop was not widely known. There, in the chair, was Miss Hestia.

She was the kindest woman she knew. Her brown hair was warm, like her eyes. Her smile was friendly, and she was willing to help any child she could. Hestia had told Piper and Leo that she always wanted to have children and a family, but she could not. Men (or people in general) passed in front of her and not noticed. Nobody stopped to talk to her.

"It's good to see you here again Piper, how was Hawaii?" she waved.

Piper walked over and hugged her. It was the least she could do. Her father ignored her most of the time and traveled and spent much time with Jane, his assistant. She was cruel and hated Piper. So Hestia was practically the mother she never had.

"Good to see you too, Hestia. Hawaii was amazing; you definitely have to go there." she said once separated.

Both talked a bit more about the things they had done in the summer. Then Piper walked out for the side door leading to the area where the cars get arranged. Before, this was not a workshop, but as Hestia had adopted three boys who loved to fix and build things, had made her home a workshop. Upstairs was the house, but if you went through the side door, you walked into a garage. There, the people left their car and the boys repaired it.

There also lived Nyssa Keys and Jake Manson.

Nyssa was a tall girl, sculpted body and tanned skin, warm brown eyes, wavy black hair who always wore a headscarf. She was good at times with Piper, but other times she was a bit standoffish.

Jake was a stocky guy, tall, 18 years old, organized, serious, distant brown eyes and black hair. He was great at fixing things, but he was serious and had nothing of humor. Piper had learned that an after accident all his body was broken, and had been in hospital for six years, but now he was fine as long as he take care of himself.

She entered and saw Jake reading a magazine, Nyssa repairing a car engine while Leo was under it doing only-he-knows-what.

"Hey guys!" Piper said cheerfully. Everyone knew her there, and were grateful that she had stopped Leo of running away.

"Hi," Jake and Nyssa said in unison.

Leo came out from under the car, all greasy and dirty. "Hey Beauty Queen!"

"Do not tell me that," Piper growled.

Leo only smiled like crazy and returned to doing what he was doing. Piper had thought about how he had changed as she sat on a nearby chair. Before, Leo was tiny and wimpy and scrawny. Now, he was tall, strong, and though she will never admit it, he had a good muscular build. It was not so bad and not noticed as Jason Grace, but it was something.

Just then, a white car came. It looked expensive, and her suspicions were confirmed when Jason Grace himself got off the car and walked to Jake.

"Umm, hello." Jake said, looking him up and down.

"Hi," Jason said "something is wrong with my car, can fix it?"

Jake sent him a glare before looking at Nyssa. He hated it when people talked as well. "Nyssa, finished?"

"Almost," Nyssa said "But tell him to leave it, we will have it by seven"

"What she said." Jake said.

Jason nodded and walked away.

An idea appeared on Piper's mind, and she stood up abruptly from her chair and ran out while saying goodbye to others who looked at her confused.

That plan could not fail.

(*) Piper still does not know the other girls, because classes are just beginning, and is her first year in Goode. Later that year she was a friend of the group. Annabeth comes next year when they are 15. Now there are 16.

A/N= I hope you liked it. As you will see, the chapters go from couple to couple, or that's what I try to do. Last chapter was Percabeth; this was 'Liper' and next will be Jasper. Thanks for everything guys! Think we can get 400reviews for next chapter? Forgive my grammar, typos and OOCness (jeez, I'm getting tired of write that!)
