Aquarius was relaxing in the class A living room. He was in the middle of watching tv when Vinn appeared out of nowhere.

"You're blocking the tv."

Vinn shrugged and sat on the couch. "I'm waiting until he realizes."

"Until who realizes what?"

"Check your email."

Aquarius logged into his email on his phone. He received a message called LONG LIVE THE SCORPION!!! from Ares. He read the rest of the message.

I decided to email you all to let you know that I am the worst human to exist 😁. My rival Scorpio is so much better than me and she could beat me in anything I do. It was a tough decision to admit that's she's better than me in every way possible, but she's so amazing that I was forced to admit it 😍 Scorpio, you're the best person to exist and everyone should worship the ground you walk on

"How did Scorpio guess Ares' password?"

Vinn shrugged. "I'm just waiting until he sees the email."

"How often does he check his mail?"

"You're right. He might not see what he sent. I'll fix that."

Vinn began texting the group chat.

Vinn: I can't believe Ares admitted Scorpio is better than him

Scorpio: it was a surprise to me too

Vinn: Scorpio if officially the better rival

Cancer: what's going on?

Vinn: check your email

Scorpio: 😇

Virgo: what did Scorpio do this time?

Scorpio: THIS TIME? I never do anything bad this is the first time

Ares: what did she do

Scorpio: Vinn just said to check your email 🙄 stupid rams don't know how to read

Aries: hi

Scorpio: not you

Pisces: I am a ram and I'm offended

Ares: I CAN'T LOG IN. WHAT DID YOU DO?!?

Scorpio: changed your password

Ares: that's why you wanted to know my favourite food, childhood nickname and my first pet's name

Scorpio: I can't believe you didn't see this coming

Ares: I thought you wanted to know more about me

Scorpio: are you admitting that you want to be my friend

Ares: of course not you're my least favourite person ever!

Scorpio: good because I hate you too

Ares: GOOD

Scorpio: hmmph

Gem: what's going on

Pisces: Ares and Scorpio are flirting again because they're secretly in love

Cancer: Pisces you're so dead

Pisces: two... one... they didn't throw me out the window yet

Pie was kicked from the chat

Gemini: how did they get kicked so quickly?

Vinn: I like starting my day with chaos

Virgo: clearly

Gem: let's play truth or dare later

Aries: YES

Capricorn: if Ophiuchus doesn't kill us first

Gem: oh yeah! She's going to be mad that we ruined her birthday

Taurus: I would have felt bad if she wasn't one of the worst people to exist

Virgo was kicked from the chat

Lee: this is so stupid

Lee left the chat

Taur: I want to be Virgo too

Virgo: no you don't

Taur changed their name to Virgo

Aquari: how many non-Virgos are left?

Cancy: I'm here

Scor: me too

Saggi: there aren't many of us left

Aquarius: I will not be peer pressured into becoming Virgo

Virgo: please bestie Aqua

Aquarius: which bestie is this?

Virgo: ... 🙂

Virgo: so what's the point of this

Virgo: to annoy Virgo

Virgo: how much Virgo could a Virgo Virgo if a Virgo could Virgo Virgo

Virgo: the answer is Virgo!

Virgo: no its Virgo! You haven't studied in Virgo enough!

Virgo: I'm sorry! I promise I'll study Virgo more

Virgo: why can't we do this to Libra instead

Virgo: because we like Libra

Virgo: HAHA

Virgo: TEST TIME! What's Virgo's favourite colour?

Virgo: Virgo

Virgo: Virgo

Virgo: I don't have one because choosing a favourite colour is so pointless. Every colour is diverse and has a separate meaning, making them all equally as valuable. Although I do have a preference for some colours over others in particular situations

Virgo: Virgo

Virgo: Virgo

Virgo: the answer is Virgo!

Virgo: Virgo!

Scor: this actually seems kind of fun

Virgo: uh oh

***

Ophiuchus smiled at the zodiacs who were all tied to their chairs in the meeting room. "You guys tried to mess with me, so now you'll face the consequences."

Ophiuchus left the room. A few minutes later, the sprinklers turned on. The water was scalding hot, making everyone scream as it burnt their skin. Vinn grabbed onto Leon and teleported them out of the room. For the others, the sprinklers stayed on for what felt like forever before turning off.

***

Cancer sat with the other original zodiacs. "I can still even feel the hot water. Even though Cancy cured our burns."

They all decided to play truth or dare in the hotel lobby. Everyone sat in a circle.

"I asked some of my friends online for some dares." Gem unlocked her phone. "Who wants to call them out?"

"I will," volunteered Taurus.

"Can I play too?" Leon ran towards the zodiacs and sat between Taurus and Virgo.

"Sure," replied Gemini. "What's the first dare?"

Taurus smirked. "Pisces has to dress up as a princess and wear a frilly dress and make up."

Pisces rolled his eyes. "I can't do that one unless I have a dress and makeup."

"You can borrow one from me!" Leon texted using his phone.

A minute later, Vinn appeared out of nowhere holding a pink frilly dress and makeup. "This seems like a fun game. I'll join in after my training." Vinn handed Leon his stuff before teleporting.

Pisces sighed and took the dress, looking for the washrooms.

"I'll apply the make up when you get back!" offered Cancer.

Vinn reappeared. "I almost forgot the shoes and princess tiara!" Vinn handed Pisces a tiara and a pair of pink high heels with bows before disappearing again.

"While he does that..." Taurus read the next dare. "Leo has to pretend to be her alternate."

Leon blinked from surprise. "Don't make fun of me too much."

Leo stood up and began walking across the lobby as if she were on a runway. She stopped and flipped her hair as she spun around. "It is I, the fabulous Leon. I love fashion and anything pink!" She continued walking and striking random poses before sitting back down.

Leon smiled and rolled his eyes. "I don't walk like that."

"You swing your hips more than anyone else I know!" argued Cancer. "And you do tend to pose sometimes."

"No, I'm just so fabulous that everything I do makes me look like I'm a model."

Leo shrugged. "I think that's a fair statement."

"I'M A MODEL TOO!" Gem sprawled out across Sagittarius and Aquarius' laps.

"I could just break your legs right now." Sagittarius twisted one of Gem's legs.

"HOW DARE YOU ATTACK ME!"

Aquarius picked up a piece of her hair. "We could also cut your hair. Maybe you'd look nice with chin-length hair."

"You guys are so mean." Gem sat back up.

"I'm the prettiest motherfucking princess to exist." Pisces reappeared, wearing the dress, shoes, and tiara.

"Language!" hissed Libra. "There are small children present."

Aquarius petted Gem on the head. "There's a small child right here."

Gem twisted Aquarius' arm. "The audacity!"

"Behave or you'll get a time out."

Gem crossed her arms and pouted, not having a comeback.

"Make up time!" Cancer grinned as Pisces sat beside him. "I don't know how to use makeup."

"The next dare is for... Virgo." Taurus frowned. "He has to sneak up to another floor where he's not allowed."

"I'll be classless!" protested Virgo. "I'm not doing that dare."

"What happens if you refuse a dare?" asked Capricorn.

"You have to cuddle Shomari while you sleep," suggested Scorpio.

"I'll distract Ophiuchus while you do it." Libra began spamming Ophiuchus with texts.

Virgo ran to the elevator.

"I'll make sure he actually does it." Capricorn followed him.

"I'll distract her too!" Pisces also spammed Ophiuchus with texts.

A few minutes later, Virgo and Capricorn exited the elevator seconds before Ophiuchus stormed into the lobby.

"I gave you guys my number for emergencies only! Anyone who continues to spam me with... whatever the fuck this stupid shit is will be blocked!" Ophiuchus glared at the zodiacs before leaving again.

"What did you guys spam her with?" asked Virgo.

"Memes," replied Pisces.

Libra shrugged. "I just started ranting in Thai."

"Finished!" Cancer used his hands to frame Pisces' face. "Isn't he pretty?"

Pisces had pink eyeshadow smudged all over his eyelids, poorly applied red lipstick, and a pile of whatever makeup Cancer could find on Pisces' cheeks. He also filled in a mono brow.

"This is going to be my new lock screen." Sagittarius took a picture.

Pisces made funny faces. "I'll take this all off after a few turns."

"What's the next dare?" asked Gemini.

"Libra has to put glitter in Lee's room."

"YES!" Libra crawled over to Capricorn. "Arm me with glitter!"

"What is happening?" asked Virgo.

"Libra is turning crazy," replied Gemini in a concerned voice.

"No, I just want to mess with Lee." Libra took a bag of glitter from Capricorn and Gem who always carry glitter around, before running towards the elevator. "Wait, I need Vinn to teleport me inside his room."

Vinn appeared as soon as she received Leon's text. "Come on! I have lots of glitter in my room that we can use!" She teleported them both away.

Taurus scrolled through the phone. "While they do that... Leon has to play a round of spin the bottle."

"Here." Scorpio passed Leon her water bottle. Leon nervously spun the bottle. It landed on Aquarius.

"Sorry." Leon gave Aquarius a quick kiss on the cheek.

Pisces shook his head. "Only cowards kiss on the cheek!"

"Everyone has to... dye the tips of our hair a random colour." Taurus frowned. "Where are we going to get the hair dye?"

"I'll ask Vinn." Leon began texting. "She'll get some after she finishes glittering Lee's room."

"The next one is for Leon again." Taurus sighed. "He has to come up with a prank for everyone."

Leon's brow furrowed in concentration. "I'll perform the prank sometime throughout the game. I need time to think."

"Now we all need to say our opinions of our alternates," announced Taurus. "Taur seems pretty nice. He's someone I could become friends with. Libra clearly hates her alternate."

"Mine is fabulous." Leo high fived Leon.

"Ares seems a bit too competitive, other than that he seems cool."

"Cancy is like an angel. She's always helping us."

"Pie wishes she was as cool as me. But she's crazy too so I can get along with her."

"Scor is quiet and distant. I will find out more about him eventually."

"Ugh don't even get me started on my alternate!" frowned Gemini.

Gem threw Scorpio's bottle of water at him. Gemini smiled and caught it.

"I'm just glad Vinn isn't my problem. I wouldn't want to try to keep her in line like I do with the rest of you."

"You don't keep us in line at all," scoffed Pisces.

"Saggi is quiet. And a lot like Aqua."

"Aquari seems alright. She's not as annoying as some people."

"Capri seems really nice. She's also really strong, I watched her lift weights in the training room."

Vinn teleported Libra back before disappearing again.

Libra grinned as she joined the others with coloured glitter all over her clothes.

"Did you have fun?" asked Aries.

"His entire room has globs of glitter everywhere. He's going to hate it."

Taurus chuckled. "While we wait for Vinn to get back with the hair dye, Capricorn has to break something in the lobby."

"What should I break?" Capricorn stood up and looked around. "Ophiuchus will make me classless."

"Not if I temporarily crash the system." Sagittarius used her phone to hack into the surveillance camera system. "You have a few minutes."

"I'll break this!" Capricorn removed a portrait of Ophiuchus from the wall and began beating it up.

"Kill her! Kill her! Kill her!" chanted Pisces.

"Kill her! Kill her! Kill her!" Some of the others joined in.

After the painting was destroyed, Capricorn hung it back up and sat down.

"What's next?" asked Aries.

Taurus cringed. "We all have to perform a musical number..."

A/N: the next update may take a while. I said I'd try to update weekly, but I completely underestimated this semester. Too many hard courses... I spend a lot of time studying. It's midterm week but I managed to find a bit of time to finish this chapter. I'm relieved that you guys are really understanding when it comes to me not being able to update as often as I'd like to, thanks guys!
