22. Lunch
Aquarius' POV
When we all entered the restaurant, everything made me want to faint. It was probably the fanciest thing I've ever seen other than our new mansion. We all looked up at the chandeliers and how shiny everything was. And the food smelled so great!
"I can't wait to eat," Taur said smelling the air. He gave a dramatic exhale and I laughed.
"This is all so great," Libra said holding my arm. I can feel her about to pop it, so I quickly got her off from it and smirked at her. She gave me an apologetic smirk back.
"For 13, please," Lupus said to a man wearing suit and tie. I didn't even realize we were at the service counter. I guess I was just too busy looking at how fancy everything was here.
The man walked us to a booth that could fit 13 of us, so that was a very big booth. Cap sat on one end followed along with Libra, then me, Taur, Virgo, Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer, Gemini, Aries, Sagi, Leo, then Lupus at the other end. I saw Lupus with a huge smile on her face. She must be so excited we were here and safe.
"Here are your menus," the waiter told us.
"Thanks," Cap said as he took all 13 menus and passed them around. The waiter left and we all looked at what we wanted.
"There's so many options," Taur said smiling so hard at the menu. "Can I order two of everything?" he said looking at Lupus now.
Lupus just laughed although everyone else knows that Taurus was not joking. He let it slide though and looked for ONE thing to eat.
"Know what you're getting?" Libra asked me nudging my arm.
"Nope. Taur is right. There are too many great options."
"Great is an understatement. Everything here looks so fucking perfect!" Taur said getting in our conversation wiggling his eyebrows.
I laughed and ruffled his hair. I don't even know why I did that. I never do that. He just gave me a sly smile and I looked straight back at my menu. Was that awkward or was I making it awkward?
"I'm so glad to finally meet you guys," Lupus said still smiling putting her menu down. She looked at Sagi, "All of you."
"Yeah, you too," Leo said blushing.
"I've always waited for this day to come. You twelve are exactly what this world will need," she continued to say.
"Wait, so are we, like, going to rule this world or something?" Aries asked now looking at Lupus.
"If we are, I'd most likely be king. You know, since Lupus is already the queen," Leo said looking at Aries and gesturing his thumb to Lupus beside him.
I rolled my eyes. Leo is a total flirt and nothing has changed. He's been a flirt ever since I met him. It made me regret even knowing the guy. I shake my head at the thought.
I see Virgo roll her eyes. "Leo, why are you always such a flirt."
Did this bitch read my mind or something?
"Hey, I'm not always. I just have charm! It just comes off as flirting," he snapped back.
"Charm my ass," Virgo said crossing her arms.
"Hey! I'm beautiful," he said pointing a finger at her.
Here we go again!
"The only thing that's beautiful about you is when you're sleep. Did you realize how cute you are sleeping, Leo? Aww," she started making baby noises.
We've all seen Leo sleep and he is a mess when he's sleeping. His hair is always messed up, but not gonna lie, in a very sexy way. He slobs and snores and his arms and leg positions are fucking impossible. It's seriously the funniest thing ever.
"Hey, leave me alone. I sleep normal just like all of you," he said back putting both hands on the table.
"If you say so, Lion," she said back sipping her sweet tea. I didn't realize our drinks were here. They probably got here while I was talking and ruffling Taurus' hair.
Leo did a dramatic hair flip with his curly hair. It's not like he can flip a lot like Pisces anyway. "I do say so!"
Virgo smirked while still sipping her tea. Lupus started laughing and we all looked at her.
"You guys are so cute," she said hiding her laughter with a hand.
"Me and her? You're talking about Virgo? Why can't it be me and Libra? Or me and Aqua! Or even me and you!" Leo said pointing to both of us. Libra blushed when he mentioned her name.
"Hey, what about me?" Cancer said feeling offended as always.
"What about you? You're, no offense, not my type. Virgo is a no bueno. Gemini is probably already taken by Pisces. And Sagi is my best friend," he said explaining himself.
"What do you mean I'm a no bueno?" Virgo said putting her glass down.
"Wait. Does 'no bueno' mean 'no good' in Spanish or have I been learning it all wrong?" Leo asked. I'm not sure if it was sarcasm or if he really didn't know. He never was great at school.
"It does mean no good," Virgo said reassuring him.
"Then that's what I meant!" he said doing his dramatic hair flip again.
Virgo rolled her eyes.
Wait a minute. Gem and Pi are together? No. fucking. way.
"Wait, Leo. What do you mean Gem and Pi are together?" I asked looking at both of them. I see Gemini blush and Pisces made no facial expression. Are they seriously dating?
"Well as we all know, my good friend Pisces, likes Gem," he explained to all of us. I'm sure everyone already knows, but I didn't know they were dating.
I saw Gem's face get even more red. Pisces still made no facial expression, but his face went so pale.
"That was months ago," Pisces finally said. "I got over her." His face was still pale.
"Oh, really? I didn't know that," Leo said looking at how pale Pisces was. "But anyways," he clapped his hands and looked at Lupus, "about who's ruling. Am I going to be your king?" He wiggled his eyebrows at her.
Lupus still laughed. I found all of this so gross that I wanted to throw up. "No, you all will not be ruling. More like help keep this world safe, though," she said to us.
"Well, that's lame," Scorpio said. "Why would I want to protect people I don't know or care about?"
"That's what being a zodiac is," she said to us looking at Scorpio with a disappointing look. "Scorpio, as you know, you can manipulate water. You can also summon deadly scorpions, if you haven't figured out already."
"Yeah, I haven't. I barely know how to manipulate water anyway. The last time I did it was for some girls last night at the store and-"
"Wait, you met new girls last night?" Cancer asked with a sad and worried look on her face. It annoyed me how much she liked him to be jealous, but at the same time I see why she is. She liked the guy around the first time they met. Cancer was the type to believe in love in first sight along with Pisces. Well, not really love at first sight, but they do fall for people pretty quickly.
"Yeah. They're pretty cool. They asked me to do some trick so I did. I didn't know I could do it, but it actually went as planned. Kind of," he said. "I didn't know how to do it after they left though. I guess that was because I didn't have a motivation or something," he sipped his lemonade and looked at Cancer who still looked worried.
"And then that's where you found-"
"Yeah," Scorpio said cutting Virgo off of what she was about to say.
"Found what?" Cancer asked.
Scorpio just sighed. "Where I found out that I needed a motivation to actually use my power how I wanted." He looked at Lupus this time. "And saving people I don't care about isn't a big motivation."
"So you cared about the girls you met?" Cancer asked.
Scorpio got frustrated. "Why do you ask a lot of damn questions?"
Cancer went quiet and slouched down and stopped facing Scorpio. She sipped her water and didn't say anything else. I felt bad for her. I wish Scorpio knew how much she liked him. And I also wish that he feels the same way. I'm not so sure if he does now.
Lupus put down her drink she finished drinking. "Scorpio, you didn't have to be mean."
Scorpio just rolled his eyes at her. Everyone knows he doesn't like when people tell him what he should do and what not to do. That's something him and the Fire Signs have in common.
Lupus had a worried look on her face, and I was sure it was for Cancer. She tried to shake it off, but I could tell it was still there. "Well, you guys, I would like to start training you next week. To test your powers and get better at them."
"I think we're way ahead of the other signs," Sagi said making a cup sized dragon made out of her fire. She looked pretty proud of herself. That was until Scorpio, of course, had to comment on it.
"That small thing? Look how cute that is."
Sagi's face went red. "Oh, don't worry, Scorpy. I don't use my powers to impress guys. I have the natural charm," she snapped back.
"My power was still more impressive than yours," he said back.
"Oh, really? What did you make? A puddle?" she said back almost laughing at herself.
"I made a dolphin!"
Sagi went very quiet. Aries and Leo both looked at Scoroio now. All three of them started laughing, and not going to lie, I started to laugh too along with Cap, Libra, Taur, and Gem.
Scorpio's face went red. He looked embarassed that he even said that. That's still pretty hard for me to believe. Scorpio? You mean the dark, mysterious guy making a dolphin out of water? Don't tell me you don't find this funny.
"Okay... okay, Scorpy, you won," Sagi said between her laughs. "You really are funnier than all of us," she laughed even harder. Scorpio looked so mad and embarassed at the same time. I wanted to stop laughing, but I just couldn't.
"A dolphin? Aww, tell us all about it, Scorpy," Aries said laughing even louder.
"Shut the fuck up," Scorpio said.
At this time, me, Libra, Cap, Taur, and Gem stopped laughing. It was still funny so we were all trying to hide our laughs with each other.
"Lupus, do you think we're gonna need a dolphin to save this world? If anything, everyone would die from laughter. That's not much of a heroic power there, Scorpy," Sagi said looking at Lupus then at Scorpio again.
I laughed again at that. I felt so bad for Scorpio, but let's be honest. He walked right into that one.
"You're so annoying, Sagi."
"Aww, that makes me so sad. You hurt my feelings, Scorpy. Can you make me a dolphin, so I could be happy again?" she said with puppy eyes and poking her lip out. She then laughed again with Aries, me, and Leo. I could see that really hit a nerve.
"Enough!" Lupus said to us. She looked dead at me, then Scorpio, then the Fire Signs. "It's not nice to laugh at Scorpio's effort. In fact, thats a perfect start on getting used to your power."
Sagi rolled her eyes and Scorpio growled at her. She stuck her tounge out at him and then gave him a seductive smirk. She then looked away still smirking and he looked away too. I saw that he was blushing just a bit.
I started to say something since no one else would. I mean, this shit was comedy gold. "We can't help that we find this all so funny," I say back to Lupus.
She gives me a death scare that I was not afraid of. Does she think she scares me? What does she think she is? Our mom?
"Exactly," Sagi says agreeing with me. "I agree on how it's a great start, but don't talk shit about my baby dragon when the first thing you could make instead of a puddle was a dolphin." She looked at Scorpio again who didn't look at her, but he was still blushing. Just a little bit. He must be very embarassed.
Lupus gave her the death stare too and I saw that she wasn't scared either. Sagi is never scared, and I like that about her. She picked up her glass and started to chew her straw. She even gave Lupus a little seductive smirk too. Lupus shook her head and was about to say something else until the waiter came to take our order.
"Can I have two of everything?" Taurus asked the waiter.
I heard Cap, Virgo, and Libra huff and puff. This is going to be a long dinner.
