Last Day Of School
A few weeks later, the zodiacs were in school. They studied and wrote their public exams. Today was the last day, also known as report card day. The zodiacs were supposed to go to their first class and wait there for a while until the teachers got the end-of-the-year awards set up in the Gym.
So far, Aries still refused to admit that she needed glasses to see at a distance and Taurus got a bit of her memory back. She remembered everyone's relationships with each other but her memories of past events were still gone. Aquarius and Libra were used to their metal limbs and Sagittarius almost burnt down the house four times due to his obsession with fire.
***
Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces were in Lyra's class.
"Oh no! I'm sorry that we're late. But I guess it's too bad that I can't get in trouble since it's the last day!" Aries smirked as her and Sagittarius walked in the room with smoothies.
"Actually," Capricorn grinned. "I changed the time on both of your phones so that you'd get back from the smoothie shop on time."
Sagittarius' mouth dropped. "What? Lyra isn't even here yet! Damn it, we're on time!"
Aries and Sagittarius sat down.
"What class is going on across the hall?" asked Virgo.
"Calculus I believe," replied Libra.
Virgo grinned. Then he got up and walked out the door. This wasn't the first time he snuck into a different class. The zodiacs all stopped talking so they could eavesdrop.
"Hello Virgo, do you need something?"
"Is this the calculus class?" asked Virgo.
"Yes."
"Great. What are we learning today miss?"
"Nothing. The exams are over so I have nothing else to teach, so why don't you go back to your own classroom?"
"Nah. I think I'm going to stay here. Hey, I know math! Me plus me equals a super hot and sexy guy!"
"Virgo get out!"
"I have a question."
"Virgo, what do you want?"
"Why is the area of a circle pi r squared, if pies are shaped like a circle? Get it? Because pie is shaped like a circle and not a square! Haha! Also I have a friend named PIEces, he's not squared!"
"What are you even doing here?"
"I'm here to see my favourite teacher before I leave. I'll miss you so so much. Wahhhhhh~"
The teacher facepalmed so loud the zodiacs could hear it across the hall. "Go back to your own class."
"No, Virgo can stay. He's cool," said a different student.
"See? These guys love me, right?" asked Virgo.
"Yeah!" cheered a few students.
"I can't hear you!"
"YEAH!"
"That's better. Let's chant my name to show miss Calculus how awesome I am. Virgo! Virgo! Virgo! Virgo!"
The teacher sighed. "My name isn't miss calculus."
"Virgo! Virgo! Virgo!" chanted the students.
"I'll fix this." Capricorn got up and walked out to of room. Two seconds later, she pulled a grinning Virgo back into Lyra's classroom by the ear.
"Now we have everyone except for Lyra," announced Taurus. Then they heard a blood curling scream. Everyone's heads snapped up.
"Who are we missing?" asked Aquarius.
Capricorn sighed. "Gemini."
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Then they saw Gemini run past the open door. The art teacher, covered in goo, chased her.
"Am I surprised? Not at all," said Pisces.
"No running in the halls!" ordered the hall monitor.
"MOVE IT!" screamed Gemini as she ran past him.
Lyra walked into the classroom looking puzzled. "Why is Gemini running away from miss Smith?"
Capricorn looked at Lyra. "Take a guess."
"Can we play pictionary or something since we have nothing to do?" asked Cancer.
"Yeah. It's not like we're going to learn anything," agreed Pisces.
Lyra sighed. "Let's wait for Gemini to get back first."
Leo kicked his feet up on the desk. "We'll be waiting a while."
The speakers turned on. "Gemini could you please check at the office. Gemini please check at the office."
"Alright. Who wants to start?" Lyra held the white board marker in her hand. "Hmm... I pick Taurus."
Taurus got up and took the marker from Lyra. Then she started drawing on the board. Everyone else tried to guess what she was drawing.
"A horse!" guessed Scorpio.
"Nope!"
"A SELF PORTRAIT!" screamed Aquarius.
Taurus turned around and glared at him. "Are you saying I look like a cow?"
Aquarius eyes widened as he took a closer look at the drawing. "That's a cow?"
"Are you saying I can't draw?"
"Ahh Taurus is scary. Uh... you see... I NEED GLASSES! Yeah." Aquarius took the glasses off Virgo's head. "My vision is so much clearer now... haha. That's so obviously a cow. And it's a beautifully drawn cow too! Three cheers for our amazing artist Taurus. Hip, Hip, Hurray!"
"Wow. Everything is so blurry." Virgo blinked and took his glasses back.
Capricorn elbowed Aquarius. "Good going, genius!"
"Why thank you!" Aquarius bowed and accidentally hit his head off the desk next to him and fell down. "Ow."
Lyra sighed. "If I run away now will anyone notice that I'm gone?"
"I'll notice! You're one of my besties!" Sagittarius smiled innocently.
Lura sighed. "Aquarius, just come up and start drawing."
Aquarius got up and took the marker from Lyra. He started drawing a handsome guy with a messed up looking guy chasing after him.
Virgo smirked. "That's easy. It's you and Libra!"
Scorpio chuckled. "I'm going to take a completely random guess, but for some reason I think it might be Virgo and Libra."
Aquarius pointed at Scorpio. "Wow. You have amazing guessing skills. That wasn't obvious at all how did you guess that?"
Scorpio shrugged. "I am an amazing guesser I guess." Then she walked in front of the class and took the marker.
"CHEESECAKE!"
Scorpio spun around and looked at Aries in confusion. "I didn't even draw it yet. How the heck did you guess that?"
Aries shrugged. Then she walked in front of the class and took the marker. She drew a lion.
"It's a lion!" guessed Pisces.
"Not quiet."
"It's me!" guessed Leo.
"Yeah. Leo guessed it."
Leo stretched across the top of his desk. "Yes, I'm so fabulous that I am being used in a game of pictionary. Soon everyone will want my autograph. I suppose I'll entertain you guys by drawing on the white board. Anything for my fans!"
Everyone groaned as Leo walked in front of the class and started drawing.
Then the door swung open and Gemini ran inside. "DON'T TELL ANYONE I'M HERE!" Then she dumped everything out of a box next to Lyra's desk, turned it upside down, and hid under it. Lyra started cleaning up the mess when the principal, the vice principal and the art teacher walked in the room.
The principal cleared his throat. "Excuse me Miss Lyra. We're looking for Gemini."
Pisces slowly opened the window.
Lyra bit her lip. "I haven't seen her."
"We watched her run in here!" hissed Miss Smith.
"Uh, I heard the door open but I was preoccupied at the moment."
The vice principal sighed. "Then I guess we can do an inspection of the room."
Pisces pushed the window open all the way. He slowly took off his shoes and dropped them outside. "She jumped out of here. That's her running away out there, see?" Pisces pointed out the open window. Then he sat on his feet so no one would see that he wasn't wearing shoes.
Miss Smith ran over to the window and looked out. "Are those her shoes?"
Pisces nodded. "Yeah. She likes boy shoes because they look nicer."
"We need to find her!" All three adults ran out of the building.
Lyra lifter the box and put her hands on her hips. "Gemini, what did you do?"
Gemini grinned. "A few harmless pranks."
Capricorn rolled her eyes. "I'd say they were more than harmless. You got the principal involved."
"I think that's a new record. Hey, can someone use air powers to make an air current lift my shoes back up?" asked Pisces. Libra walked over to the window and made a current lift the shoes up. "Thanks!"
"How much longer until the awards?" asked Cancer.
Lyra shrugged. "I don't know. Shouldn't be much longer."
Leo put the marker down. "Finished!" He grinned at his masterpiece.
"Leo what's that?" asked Sagittarius.
"It's obvious," replied Leo.
Aries looked at Sagittarius. "Is it obvious to you?"
"Not at all."
"Guys, its obviously a... actually... er... Leo what did you draw?" asked Scorpio.
"I drew... FABULOUSNESS! I know, it's too much fabulous for you to handle. Your tiny brains can't understand all of this detail and the complicated subject of Fabulousism-"
"Fabulousism?" Capricorn looked at Libra.
Libra shook his head. "I have no idea what he's talking about."
"Uh..." Cancer gripped the edge of her desk.
"Are you alright?" asked Scorpio.
"Yeah. I'm feeling a little odd, that's all."
Leo continued talking. "I know, I know, the concept of such a fabulous drawing can sometimes be difficult to grasp. That's why I, the hero of everything fabulous, is the only one that can even begin to understand this drawing and what it truly means and-"
Capricorn sighed. "Leo. It's just a stick person."
Leo froze. "It would appear that way to you because you're not truly fabulous! You need to feel it in your veins Cappy, feel it in your veins!"
Capricorn smirked. "The only thing I feel in my veins is blood."
Leo gasped. "This isn't good. You must be the enemy to all things fabulous! You're the great villain, miss anti-fabulous!"
"What's this?" Aries pulled a potion out of Leo's bag.
"That's my fabulous syrum!"
Aries read the label. "Do not give to Leo ever. I mean it. Never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever let Leo drink this unless you want a headache. Love, Hydra. P.S. Don't let Virgo drink this either, but mostly Leo."
Sagittarius inspected the bottle. "Looks like a crazy potion."
"Wait. What am I not allowed to drink?" Virgo grinned and looked at the bottle.
Aries snatched the bottle and tossed it to Capricorn. Capricorn gave Virgo a look that said try to take it, I dare you.
Everyone heard a thump. They turned to see Moncer standing in her desk. "I'M SO BORED. SERIOUSLY, LET'S DO SOMETHING!"
"We need to find a way to turn Moncer back into Cancer," whispered Libra.
"How?" asked Capricorn.
"I don't know but we need to find out."
Capricorn nodded. "I'll work on it. There are certain situations where she'll only embarrass herself. A gym full of people is one of them."
"I remember now!" Taurus looked up hopefully. "One day on Ursa Major, we gave Cancer a potion that made her go crazy. After that, whenever Moncer showed up, we assumed someone gave her a crazy potion, but it was a second personality all along!"
"You got a memory back. That's great!" Aquarius smiled at Taurus.
"Let's go INSANE! WAHAHAHAHAHA!" Moncer started jumping from desk to desk.
"Uh... Cancer?" Lyra looked at her worryingly.
"It's a second personality," informed Gemini.
"Oh. A side effect from the maze?"
"No. She always had a second personality. It just took a while to come out."
"Oh."
"Cancer. Drink this!" Pisces walked up to Moncer and handed her a bottle. Moncer drank the whole thing and passed out. Pisces caught her.
"What did you give her?" asked Aquarius.
"A sleeping potion. Best friends don't let best friends to embarrassing things. If she went into the gym like this, she'd embarrass herself."
"Here. I can take her." Sagittarius walked over to Pisces and picked up Cancer. "She's so cute when she's sleeping."
"All students may now proceed to the gym," announced the principal over the speakers.
"Uh..." Gemini looked at Lyra.
Lyra shrugged. "I don't know how to help you."
"I do! As the leader of the drama group, I always, always carry spare costumes!" Leo dug through his bag and pulled out a wavy red wig and a curly blue wig. "I also have blue eye contacts."
"I'll take the red wig." Gemini put her hair in a sloppy bun and put the wig on. "I don't want to wear contacts."
"Here." Leo passed her some sunglasses.
Lyra sighed. "If anyone asks, you're my niece."
"What do I do with Cancer?" asked Sagittarius.
"Stay here with her, alright?" asked Lyra. Then she went downstairs with everyone else.

The zodiacs walked down to the gym and sat down in the chairs. All the chairs were facing the stage, which had a table full of medals. Lyra held Gemini by the hand.
"Lyra, who's this?" The vice principal approached Lyra. He squinted at Gemini, this girl with wavy red hair looked familiar.
"This is my niece," replied Lyra. "She just moved here yesterday, so I took her to work to show her around. I hope you don't mind."
"You're not supposed to bring other kids here, but I'll let it slide since it's the last day. What's your name?"
Gemini continued smiling.
"She's blind and she doesn't know who is talking to her," lied Lyra.
"Oh." He tapped Gemini on the shoulder. "Uh, excuse me-"
Gemini squealed at the top of her lungs.
"If she's going to do that she won't be allowed to stay."
Lyra sighed. "She'll behave."
"One more thing, why does she look a lot like Gemini, the student we're currently trying to find?" asked the vice principal.
Lyra paused for a second. "This is Gemini's half sister. She moved here from Edmonton, Alberta."
"If she causes trouble like her half sister, she'll have to leave, okay?"
Lyra nodded. "She's good."
"Hello everyone and welcome to the 2017 school year award assembly!" announced the principal. He was on the stage with a microphone. The students cheered.
"Alright, first up is... the best principal award. Oh no, you shouldn't have! I'm so honoured!" The principal took a medal and slid it over his bald head. The students either groaned or cheered. Then he continued announcing awards.
***
Later on, everyone was sitting at home in the living room. The zodiacs finished their last day of school before university.
"We should celebrate. There's lots of parties going on tonight," replied Gemini.
"I don't like going to other people's parties though," said Cancer who was awake again.
"You've never tried it," said Sagittarius.
"Maybe we could throw our own twelve person party," suggested Pisces.
"Yeah. We need to get cheesecake!" announced Scorpio.
"I can't believe I won the most fabulous award. The principal created the award just for me!" Leo still hasn't stopped smiling.
"Me and Aqua can go to the store to buy some things," suggested Taurus.
Aquarius grinned. "Yeah. I'll make sure to pick up lots of candy." Then the two of them left.
"I can't believe it. This was our first and last year of school," said Cancer.
"Thank god it's over!" announced Sagittarius.
Capricorn smiled sadly. "Yeah, but we only have this summer until we have to go our separate ways."
"THEN WE'll MAKE IT A SUMMER TO REMEMBER! WOOHOO!" Aries pulled a can of silly string out of her pocket and shot it everywhere.
"Aww, I have so many besties that I don't want to leave. DON'T LEAVE ME LIBBY!" Virgo threw his arms around Libra's waist.
"You mean I'll finally get away from Virgo? Great! Just kidding, I'll miss you too," then Libra ruffled Virgo's hair.
***
Later on, the zodiacs threw their own party. They were celebrating and having fun. They wanted to enjoy their last few months together.
This isn't the last chapter or anything. They will have a lot more adventures throughout summer break before I end the story
