All the zodiacs stood in the hallway outside Lee's room.

"He's going to kill me." Leon nervously twirled the freshly dyed pink ends of his hair.

"Should I take a video? Or not?" Gem used google translate to speak for her since she wasn't allowed to speak out loud.

"What are you guys doing?" Saggi got up from the couch in the living room area and approached the others.

"Playing truth or dare," replied Scor.

"And you have to do something to Lee?"

"Leon has to punch him!" grinned Sagittarius.

"He'll get revenge on me though." Leon tried thinking of ways to avoid the dare. "I don't want to mess with him."

"FREEZE! NOBODY DO ANYTHING!" Aquari sprinted down the hall from the elevator with a bowl of popcorn. "I didn't miss it did I?"

"How do you know what's happening?" asked Gemini who also used google translate.

"Pisces messaged me! Don't punch Lee yet, Pie had to get her phone."

A few seconds later, Pie sprinted out of the elevator holding her phone and a bowl of popcorn identical to Aquari's. "DID HE PUNCH HIM YET?"

Virgo sighed. "I've never seen a man so hated in my life."

Taurus rose one eyebrow at Virgo. "Forgetting something?"

"...but platonically."

Cancer looked at Pisces. "Did you invite anyone else?"

Pisces shrugged. "They're the only two that showed up."

"He texted the group chat," announced Libra. "The one that we have without Lee... but platonically."

Taur suddenly stepped out of his room and into the hallway. "I'll play truth or dare if I get to watch Lee get punched."

Lee's door suddenly flew open. "What's all the commotion?"

Everyone turned to look at Leon.

"You suck!" Leon swung a shaky fist across Lee's face. Before Lee could even flinch Leon was already halfway towards the elevator. Everyone else quickly followed, leaving Lee standing confused in his doorway.

***

The originals, Leon, Vinn, Ares, Scor, Aquari, Pie, Saggi, and Taur all sat in the lobby.

"Why are you still with us?" asked Sagittarius.

Saggi shrugged. "I don't have anything else to do."

Aquari patted Saggi on the head. "He wants to spend more time with his best friend."

Saggi got up and moved to the other side of the circle. Aquari rolled her eyes at him.

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

"Saggi and Aquarius have to see who can hold a conversation for the longest," announced Leon.

"Hi." Saggi waved to Aquarius.

"Hi."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"I'm a fire sign."

"I'm an air sign."

"..."

"..."

"I don't know what to say to you."

"It seems like you have an annoying best friend just like I do."

Saggi glanced at Aquari. "She's the most annoying person ever!"

"At least Aquari is cool."

"Sagittarius seems like more fun to be around."

"Let's end this before Sagittarius and Aquari kill their best friends," nervously laughed Libra. "But platonically."

Sagittarius got up and sat beside Aquari. They started whispering to each other while pointing to Saggi and Aquarius.

"Taur needs to say one good thing about everyone." Leon passed the phone to Taur so that he could call out the dares next.

"Hmm..." Taur glanced at everyone. "Aries is really good at speaking other languages, Taurus is really kind, Gemini is really smart, Gem is funny, Cancer is adorable-"

"Wait why do I get adorable? I'm not adorable!" pouted Cancer.

"What an adowable wittle babie." Pisces pinched Cancer's cheeks. Cancer put Pisces in a headlock.

"Leo is... pretty. Sorry, I don't know you very well so that's the best I have. Virgo is smart, Libra has really cool confidence, Scorpio is good at everything, Sagittarius is crazy but in a good way, Capricorn is an interesting person to be around, Aquarius... is really fit which is cool, Pisces is... Ares is really cool-"

"Why didn't you say anything about me?" asked Pisces while purposely sounding over dramatic.

"At least you're not interesting," shrugged Capricorn.

"I don't know you guys very well!" Taur bowed in apology. "I'm sorry, I can't really think of much to say about you guys."

"It's okay. I was joking!" Capricorn smiled at Taur. "We all know you're trying your best."

"Cancy draws well," continued Taur. "Leon has the best sense of fashion, Vinn is... a really cool person to be around. She's so nice... Scor is pretty cool I guess, Saggi is one of the best friends you can have, Aquari is really sneaky which I've always found cool, and Pie is... yeah that's it."

"I think he has something against fishes," whispered Pie to Pisces.

"We'll make them fear the fish," replied Pisces.

"Fear the fish!" whispered Pie and Pisces at the same time. Both fish signs started laughing.

"There's a lot of whispering going on now," noted Scorpio.

"Afraid people are plotting against you?" smirked Ares.

Scorpio rolled her eyes. "I'm not afraid of anyone."

"The silver scorpion has no fears."

"If I'm the silver scorpion then you're the red sheep!"

"Just be grateful you're important enough for me to give you a nickname."

Scorpio didn't know how to react and debated reaching out and punching Ares. She decided against it.

Taurus chuckled. "Leon has to tie up two zodiacs of his choice and lock them in a closet."

Leon reached in the box to pull out a rope. "Any volunteers?"

"How about the two rivals?" suggested Leo.

"I refused to be tied in a closet with her!" Ares stood up to run away, only for Vinn to appear in front of him, blocking his escape. Aquarius and Saggi helped Leon tie Scorpio and Ares back to back, before locking them in a closet in one of the classless bedrooms.

"Well, if there's a fire I guess we'll die," joked Ares.

"I'm a water sign and you're a fire sign."

"That was the joke."

"Your jokes aren't funny."

"You just have a poor sense of humor."

"I could flood this entire closet and drown you."

"And I could create a fire and kill you from the smoke."

"I won't kill you now. The next trial is coming up."

"You'll kill me then?"

"Only if you get in my way."

"Then I guess I'll have to stay far ahead of you."

"Did I ever tell you how much I hate you?"

"Love you too silver scorpion."

"Shut up!"

"Is that Scorpio for you're my favorite rival ever?"

"Stop talking before I actually drown you."

"I thought we were friends now!"

"Shut up before I soak you in water."

As soon as everyone sat back down, Taur continued reading dares. "Leon has to confess who he has a crush on."

"Wait! Why is Cancy sitting where Leo was? But platonically?" asked Libra.

"What d-do you mean?" asked Cancy who wore a long blonde wig. "I am L-Leo."

"Oh really?" Aries made a kissy face and jokingly leaned towards Cancy. Cancy panicked and jumped back.

Did Leo have a dare to replace herself with someone else? -Gemini

"Yeah," replied Cancy.

"I don't want to be the only person not playing!" Everyone turned to see Capri running towards them. She sat beside Taur and Taurus.

So what's that about Leon's crush? -Gem

Leon whispered his answer to Taur.

Taur nodded. "I already knew that."

Leon's eyes widened. "HOW?"

"I'm in a similar situation."

"That's not fair!" whined Pisces. "Why can't we get to know the secret."

"Wait. I just received a text." Capri picked up her phone. So did the other alternates.

Becky: You guys all suck

Becky: except Cancy, Leon, Vinn, and Capri. You guys are cool

Pie: who the fuck is this

Becky: I'm Becky

Taur: who's prank was this

Scor: cancer

Becky: OH MY GOD YOU CAN'T JUST ACCUSE PEOPLE OF HAVING CANCER

Scor: we can see you typing on your phone

Capri: so he had a dare to text us?

Saggi: probably

Saggi left the chat

Aquari: I don't get the joke

Leon: Cancer pretended to be Becky and prank texted the others before

Becky: oh yeah that's right you literally stalked us

Vinn: who's Becky?

Cancy: The evilest person ever!

Cancy: I hate Becky!

Becky: she used to pick on Cancy a lot

Becky: Cancy also kinda stalked us

Cancy: I didn't stalk you! I just pretended to be Olive so I could keep an eye on you guys

Capri: how dare she pick on Cancy 😢

Cancy: I'm okay now! I just want to break one of her nails or something

Scor: you just want to break a nail?

Cancy: do you know how much it hurts to break a gel nail?

Scor: not really

Cancy: imagine someone ripping the nail bed off your finger. It feels like that

Aquari: why are we all still replying to this chat

Pie: I don't know

Becky: let's get back to truth or dare

"The fire alternates have to jump from the roof," announced Taur as if nothing happened.

"How can we get up there?" asked Saggi. "Also Ares is locked in a closet."

"I'll take his place!" volunteered Capri.

"Jump off the roof of a neighboring building?" suggested Taurus.

"That will work!" Capricorn stood up. Everyone else followed.

***

After Capri, Leon, and Saggi jumped off a nearby bakery, using fire shields to break their fall, everyone sat back in their circle.

"Aquarius, who's your bestest of best friends?" asked Taurus.

"Sagittarius," replied Aquarius.

"I thought I was annoying," dramatically pouted Sagittarius.

"Can I change my answer?"

"For the next dare..." Taur sighed. "Everyone has to gender swap."

A/N: I know this chapter was short but I wanted to update before midterm week starts (it feels like I just finished last semester's midterm week and now I have to write more midterms again). Next chapter will be the last truth or dare chapter
