Oh gosh he was just too cute. Way too cute for words. This was the kind of child that Juniper wouldn’t mind having eight or nine of. The girl reached down, ruffling his hair. “I don’t know anyone named Lenka, or Julienne, I was woken up by a cat named Sheena, she’s very nice, very nice indeed.”
The girl sighed, pocketing her pen once again. “I think that they should give younger senshi smaller pens…since normally you guys have smaller pockets in your clothes, that seems fair. Why should you have to hide a big old thing like we do? But yeah, that’s why you have to keep it hidden, because what if I had been a bad person? There it would have been, sticking out of your bag ripe for the taking! It would have been awful!”
She sighed. “It is hard keeping it secret from everyone…but if you have any issues…or any problems or fears or anything, I’ll give you my phone number, okay? That way you can call for an older senshi to talk to? I mean, I’m still learning things as I go—I’m still pretty new at this, but I have more life experience than you at least!”

Woken up by another cat? That meant there was another talking cat out there? He almost didn't hear her talking, but managed to make sense of it all—just in time to grin and nod enthusiastically. "You're really sweet, Juniper! I've never been so happy to have a babysitter in my life! I'm even happy I got sick so dad called you to come over! I will definitely tell him I want you any other time he thinks I need a babysitter. Maybe I'll even play sick so you get invited to come over more often!"
He laughed, then, but promptly shook his head. "No, I like school," he admitted, "But I would definitely like to hang out. Either like this or…maybe, you wanna power up and go out sometime? Together. Because—I'm still learning and I don't wanna get in trouble, so I need someone to look after me—oh, but I promise I'd have your back, too! But Julienne said it was really important and I already went through the trouble of memorizing my name, so it seems like a waste to just not, you know? …Plus, I wanna save people. Whaddaya say?"

Juniper grinned. “You got yourself a deal, Orin. I would love to go on a patrol with you someday…but I have to warn you, I seem to have the worst luck ever. I always get the worst kind of bad guys to come after me and sometimes they’re pretty scary…but I’ll make sure to keep you safe the best I can, okay?”
She laughed after a moment. This was something to tell Anella, that was for sure. Go in for a nice, normal babysitting job to get some date money…and then find out that the kid is a senshi. What a world. What a world indeed.
“When do you want to do this fantastic patrol? I’m free whenever, it is summertime, after all…so, school’s not an issue for either of us, I don’t think. Unless you’re in summer school or something.” She stuck out her tongue, laughing again.
“I don’t know kid. I kind of want to take you home with me and make you into my little brother or something.”

"It's okay if you have bad luck!" he insisted. "I have great luck! Maybe we'll balance each other out! I'll keep you as safe as I can, okay? Just as long as you don't try to kidnap me," he laughed. "Dad would be heartbroken if I disappeared for too long. I have to sneak out if I want to patrol, so sometimes it depends on what Dad is doing and how quickly it takes him to come home and fall asleep. Which is usually pretty quickly on Mondays, if you wanna meet somewhere on Monday night? Maybe after my dad gets to know you or you babysit me a little more, I can convince him to let us hang out! And then I wouldn’t have to sneak out anymore!"

“Monday it is then, Orin! We can meet at the park that’s down the street from here, it’ll be awesome!” Juniper jumped when the oven went off and the doorbell rang at the same time. “Jeeze, how long were we talking? I think it’s time to get this movie slash pizza slash chicken nugget night party really started, what do you say?”
She grinned, jumping up and running to the door, greeting the pizza guy with a huge grin.
Clearly this was the best babysitting job ever. Bar none.
It really couldn't get much better, there was a kid who was a senshi and she had a patrol buddy for Monday night. And maybe his luck would be good and there wouldn't be any near death happenings to them. She could wish, right?
