Aries' POV

"Dude, dude, dude," I laughed talking to Cancer with pumpkin guts in my hair. "We need to take a picture and send it to Leo!"

Cancer nodded and laughed in agreement. "Ooh! And to Gem!" she says pointing to me.

I get up from all the pumkin guts I was sitting in and found some kid who was about 14 or 15. I started to run up to them. "Can you take our picture?" I ask the kid.

She looked at me like I was crazy, which is possibly true. She took my phone anyway and started snapping away as Cancer and I were doing weird poses. I slipped in the pumpkin guts in the process and laughed it off even though my ass was burning.

The kid took multiple pictures of us and she was still taking them. Cancer looked at me as the kid was still taking pictures for about a whole minute.

"You should get your phone back," Cancer said.

I tried standing up, but slipped again in the pumpkin guts. They we obviously slippery. I managed to successfully get up and walked up to the kid. She gave me a weird look and her face looked disgusted. I reached for my phone and she treated my phone like it was a disease. Well, she treated my hand as a disease. It was covered with pumpkin guts along with my entire body. I then snatched it from her getting the guts on her finger on accident. "Thanks," I say now smiling at the kid.

She ran away from me into the store inside, looking back at first but never letting her legs stop running.

I shake my head. "What's her problem?" I turn and look at Cancer.

"For one, you're a grown man covered in pumpkin guts. Secondly, you could've asked anyone else to take the picture instead of a kid. And thirdly," she says to me wiping the slippery, gooey guts off her face.

I waited for her to finish. "Thirdly, what?"

She shook her head. "There is no third reason. It just seems like the normal thing to give three reasons. I only got two," she said shrugging her shoulders.

I smirked at that. "Sucks to be you," I say to her wiping the guts off of me too.

"Why?" she asked me looking up. She was taking her shoes off banging it to the concrete ground getting stuff out of it. Her blonde hair turned orange and gooey.

"Because we're driving in your car," I say smirking really big.

"Oh, that's right," she started to shake her head getting seeds off it, "We really should've drove in your car."

"Thank God we didn't," I say with a serious face.

"We're not going in my car with us like this," she says being completely serious pointing to her messy clothes.

I shrugged. "Then what do you expect us to do? Walk home? Hijack someone's car? Ooh! I know! How about we take kids' scooters and just transport our way there!" I say being completely sarcastic.

Cancer rolled her eyes at me as I saw a group of people watching me. One man got his keys and clicked the lock button. I shook my head. I forget I can't talk about sneaky things out in public even if it's sarcasm. Something Virgo taught us Fire Signs, but we never really listen.

"It's your fault for dropping the pumpkins in the first place!" Cancer says to me.

I rolled my eyes. She better not nag me. I was starting to actually get used to this sensitive bitch.

When Cancer and I first got here, some employee was bringing out a whole cart filled with pumpkins. He was setting all of the pumpkins on the stand outside and even some on the ground until I tripped over one making the whole cart fall. He apologized to me, even though he didn't do anything wrong to begin with, but if it means I don't have to pay for all of the smashed pumpkins, I was fine with him feeling guilty. When he went inside to get help to clean the mess, I started playing in it at first. Don't ask me why. I was having fun. I then slipped Cancer in because she was nagging me about how rude and immature I was being and she was having fun too. That's basically the reason why we're in this mess now.

"Let's go to a hotel or something," Cancer asked combing her finger through her hair getting the gunk out.

I raise a brow. "Are you trying to fuck me or something? If so, can we shower first. Or maybe even shower toget-"

"Ew. No. Nevermind, I asked so we could just shower... seperately. But let's just find a water hose or something," she replied with giving me a disgusted look.

I was thrown back. "What do you mean 'ew'? You're lucky now to be hanging with me," I say to her not letting the fact she was disgusted go.

She just rolled her eyes. I really wanted a real answer, but I guess I'll let it go since she is. She started to walk and I followed her. There were lots of food trucks out here. And lots of people. I like a crowd. I was getting distracted by all the food trucks out here. There were lots of stores beside each other too. Cancer then took a turn and I followed her focusing on what we were doing again.

She walked behind a fitness store and there was a water hose there. Thank God! I turn it on and started to spray myself. My hair first, exactly.

"Spray me," Cancer says spreading her arms out.

I sprayed Cancer, specifically in the face. She put her hands up in front of her covering her face. I started bursting out laughing. She started screaming as if she was drowning. Next thing you know, a splash of water sprayed me right in my face. The water in my face got me distracted on spraying Cancer that I dropped the hose.

Soon, the water stopped spraying me. I looked at Cancer with both of my hands up to my face in case she was gonna spray me again. I forget this bitch can manipulate water.

She started laughing at me. I pushed my wet hair from my face and she laughed harder and harder.

"I remember that I fucking hate you," I say to her shivvering. That only made her laugh more. "Why did we need to go here if you have water powers?"

She was still laughing. A tear of laughter even fell from her face that was already wet. "Because," she says between her laughs, "I'm still learning how to work this thing." She wiped her wet face from where the tear was. I don't know why she did it since her whole face was already wet anyway. She finally stopped laughing but was still smiling and catching her breath.

I forget the other signs aren't as good as my sign and Pisces with their powers. Most of them enact their power without realizing or when they're motivated.

I started to set my whole body on fire, letting myself dry off since I can't physically burn myself. Cancer looked in awe. "That's so cool," she says to me.

I smirked. "Yeah, I know." I started dusting off my arm and bright, yellowish orange sparks went up in the air.

"I kind of wish that I knew how my power worked like you," she said looking down.

I thought for a second. "Wait, what about that time when you tried to put out Sagi's fire the time she left?" I asked her looking confused.

"I don't know. That was just instinct and I guess I got lucky it actually worked. I was just as surprised as you were," she says shrugging her shoulders. She looked back at the ground.

She better not get all sentimental on me. I was actually having fun with the fun Cancer. Not the sensitive, sad, annoying version. "That sucks," I say shrugging my shoulders too to not get in a deep conversation.

Cancer looked at me. "Yeah." She blinked a couple of times. "You know what else sucks, Aries?"

I cock my head and furrowed my brows. "What?" I asked hesitantly.

"This." Cancer grabs the hose that was laying on the grass and still running. I forgot that I never turned it off. She sprayed me with it leaving me screaming and yelling. She kept laughing at me and I was laughing too. I kept trying to get away from the water, but she just kept spraying me again and again and again.

I used my power to create a fire shield, so if any water tried to get to me, it would be blocked. I smirked watching Cancer pout.

"That's not fair, you know how to use your power," she says stomping her foot on the grass.

"Truce?" I ask as she held the hose away from me. I still kept the shield up. Y'know. Just in case.

She frowned and dropped the hose. "Fine. Truce."

I got rid of my shield as the bright, yellowish orange fire sparks obliterated into the sky. I love when it does that. I look at the hose and back at Cancer. She had a hand out to secure the truce we were in the process of making. I looked back at the hose, quickly grabbed it, and sprayed her letting her scream and laugh at the same time.

I was actually enjoying this. I'll be honest, I never hated Cancer. In fact, we rarely ever talked. I guess Lupus just wanted us to get closer or whatever. She just always annoyed me or whatever, but for right now, I think we could actually be great friends. Not best friends. But pretty decent ones.

I heard my phone ring. I was hesitating to even answer it because I didn't want Cancer to take the hose and spray me back. I stopped spraying her with the hose still in my hand, and we looked at each other.

"I won't spray you," Cancer said basically reading my mind.

"How am I supposed to know that?" I say raising a brow.

"You don't," she shrugged her shoulders then drained her hair using her hands to squeeze it damp.

I drop the hose and went over to my phone that was partially wet. I look at who was calling, and it was Gem. I picked it up.

"What's up?" I say shaking my wet hair with one hand and the phone in the other by my ear.

"Hey, you didn't answer my texts."

"Yeah, sorry I was doing something," I said looking at Cancer as if she could hear what Gem was saying anyway.

"Okay, well anyway, which decoration seems more scary? Spiders or skeletons?" she asked me.

"Why aren't you asking Libra?" I asked confused.

"Because she says spiders, and I say skeletons. I mean, it has to be skeletons right?"

I nodded although I forgot she's not here to see me do that. "Skeletons are way more scary," I agreed.

"I told you, Libra!" Gem says screaming.

I held the phone away from my ear as she screamed in it. Damn, she was loud.

"Well, we're buying skeletons. Oh! And by the way, the picture of you and Cancer was so cute!" she says sounding excited.

"Oh, that," I started chuckling. "Yeah, we just got cleaned from all of that. We still need to buy pumpkins though," I look at Cancer, "I guess we got distracted."

Gemini laughed. "Well, have fun with that. I'll see you guys later. Bye! And tell Cance hi for me!" she says enthusiasticly.

"Alright, yeah, sure," I say. She hung up so I put the phone back to where it was before. I turned back at Cancer. "Gem says hi." Cancer just smiled.

She went on her phone. "Oh, shit," she says.

"What?"

"Lupus said she won't be going to the party tomorrow in the zodiac group chat," she says still looking through her phone.

"Then what the hell was the point of sending us to be with people she chose?" I asked throwing frustrated hands up in the air.

Cancer just shrugged. "At least we can still have a good party," she says finally looking back at me putting her phone in her wet pocket.

"Why can't she come?" I ask her starting to dry myself with my powers again. I was going to dry her too when I saw her put her phone in her pockets until I realized I could literally burn her to ashes.

"Something about one of her people desperately need her for tonight and tomorrow," she replies walking past me.

"Damn," I say trying to keep the conversation alive. It was obvious we couldn't have a real conversation, but we had fun laying in pumpkin guts and spraying each other with water. I reminded myself of water and turned the hose off that I almost forgot to do. I grabbed my phone and started to follow her.

We made our way back to the pumpkin patch store. The guts were still on the ground, so I guess nobody's cleaning that shit. I walk up to look at some pumpkins with Cancer.

"How many should we get?" I ask her.

"Let's get about 10. Ooh, no! 12 for each of us," she says putting her hands behind her back like a shy, little kid.

"Okay. I call the biggest," I say smirking looking for good pumpkins.

"What? Why can't I have the biggest?" she says trying to stand as tall as me.

"Because I'm paying," I said.

She just pouted while I was looking for pumpkins to get. When I found 6 of them, I figured Goldie Locks over there would have some too. She was still looking for a big pumpkin that I already had. I saw her on the floor looking at every pumpkin as if she were measuring them all with her mind.

"What the hell are you doing?" I asked walking to her with a cart with six pumpkins.

She looked up at me. "Looking for pumpkins."

I just looked at her. Her blonde hair was still wet along with her clothes and shoes. "Can you hurry the fuck up? I kind of wanna go home now," I say carrying the cart pass her.

She stood up and grabbed the first six pumpkins she found. I heard her huffing and puffing and being her annoying self. She kept sighing, groaning, and kept complaining under her breath. It drove me fucking crazy.

"Fine! You can have the biggest pumpkin!" I say turning to her. She smiled as if her life was completed, and I turned back to pay for the twelve pumpkins. "Goddamn," I huffed under my breath.

I started shaking my head out of annoyance. I forget how irritating this bitch can get sometimes.
