Taurus opened her eyes.

"Oh my god! You're awake!" Capricorn sighed in relief.

Taurus sat up and scanned her surroundings. She was in a hospital bed. "Where am I?"

Capricorn tried not to stare at Taurus's brown hair that used to be blonde. "You're in the hospital."

(This is what Taurus looks like now)

"I am? How?"

"I don't know. I found you unconscious and I assumed that you drank the crazy potion. When I came back and saw that you still weren't awake, I drove you to the hospital."

"What happened?"

"I don't know. You were supposed to stop Virgo, Libra and Aquarius from escaping down the slide."

"So one of them knocked me out? It had to be Virgo. Libra is too responsible to accidentally hurt someone and Aquarius would never do that to me."

"I don't know who it was, but Virgo is a likely guess."

"Did I miss anything?"

"Besides everyone drinking crazy potions again?"

"Yeah."

"Not really. I locked them in a closet."

"You locked all of them in a closet? And trusted that they'd stay put?"

"CRAP!"

Taurus chuckled. "You'd better go back. I'll be good here for a while."

Capricorn grabbed her car keys and sprinted out of the room.

***

"Cappy let us out! The potion wore off!" whined Libra.

"Any luck?" asked Aries who sat beside Scorpio.

"Capricorn bought a new lock. I can't figure out how to unlock it yet," replied Scorpio who was using a hair pin to pick the lock.

"Is Virgo sleeping?" smirked Aquarius.

"Hey, you leave my baby alone!" ordered Scorpio.

"Aww Virgo is her baby! Hahaha baby Virgo," laughed Sagittarius.

"You call Cancer My baby so you can't say anything," smirked Leo.

"Meanwhile, I don't use lame names like baby," said Libra.

"Didn't you call Capricorn hot stuff before?" asked Aquarius.

"Yeah because she's hot. Hotter than you," retorted Libra.

"Actually, Taurus says that my long hair is sexy!" Aquarius played with the shoulder length strands of hair.

"Were we kidnapped or something?" Virgo looked around the closet.

Sagittarius shook Virgo's shoulders and looked at him with wide eyes. "Yes. Hydrus turned bad again. We're trying to escape because he wants to kill us this time!"

Virgo chuckled. "I'm calling bullshit!"

"You mean Taurus poop?" asked Leo.

"What?" asked Virgo.

"Bull... shit. Taurus... poop. Because she's the bull," explained Leo.

"For now in instead of saying bullshit, let's say Taurus poop and watch everyone else'a reactions," suggested Libra.

"Aha!" Scorpio swung the door open.

"YAHOOOOOOO FREEDOM! HAHAHAHAHAHA COME CATCH ME SUCKERS!" Aries ran around the house.

Libra watched her with wide eyes. "Imagine having that much energy."

"So, what should we do now?" asked Aquarius.

"What's this?" Virgo picked up a bottle of brown hair dye. "Who used this?"

"There's something all over my hands." Sagittarius frowned at his hands.

"Sagittarius dyed someone's hair?" Leo gasped. "Oh no is it me? My blond hair is too fab-"

"What is he at now? Number eighty
eight?" asked Aquarius.

Libra nodded. "I'm pretty sure."

"I did NOT say fabulous eighty eight times!" protested Leo.

Sagittarius chuckled. "You're right. Now it's eighty nine."

"At this point he needs to realize he has a problem. I'm perfectly certified to be a therapist," announced Aquarius. Everyone else laughed.

"Pfffft! As if!" laughed Scorpio.

Aries ran into the living room and collapsed on the sofa, panting. "Whew being crazy is exhausting."

"CAPPY'S CAR IS IN THE DRIVEWAY!" screamed Sagittarius.

"Quick! Sneak out the back!" ordered Scorpio. The crazy zodiacs ran into the backyard.

***

The short zodiacs were walking in the streets. Gemini handed a bottle of water to Pisces, who was thirsty.

"Merci!" thanked Pisces in a perfect french accent.

"How can you speak french so well?" asked Gemini.

Pisces shrugged. "I've been learning french for a while now. So has Leo."

"I'm learning a bit of french!" smiled Cancer. "Like merci means thank you and nourriture means food. Also très bien means good."

"Très bien means very good," corrected Pisces.

"What's awesome in french?" asked Gemini.

Pisces furrowed his brow. "I think they just use très bien for awesome, I'm not too sure."

Gemini cleaned her throat. "J'ai Gemini and j'ai très bien!"

"What did she say?" asked Cancer.

Pisces smiled. "I have Gemini and I have awesome."

Cancer laughed so hard she held onto Gemini for support. "Woah you're good at this!"

Gemini chuckled. "Hey, I'm trying my best. But what should I have said?"

"Je m'appelle Gemini et j'ai un personnalité très cool."

"Meaning?"

"My name is Gemini and I have a cool personality."

Cancer gasped. "How do I say I love you?"

"Je t'aime," replied Pisces.

"Je t'aime Sagittarius." Cancer opened the notes app on her phone. "How do you spell that?"

Pisces took the phone. "I'm not completely sure, so use google or something to make sure It's right." Pisces handed the phone back.

"Is that Antlia?" Gemini pointed to the purple haired human walking towards them.

"It is. Antlia!" Cancer waved.

The man's eyes grew wide as he turned around and walked away.

"Nu-uh! He doesn't get to walk away from us!" declared Gemini.

"Is he still ignoring us?" asked Cancer.

Pisces smiled. "Let's catch up to him." The short zodiacs ran until they caught up to Antlia.

Antlia sighed. "What do you guys want?"

"To spend quality time with you. Let's get a picture." Gemini pulled out her phone and took a photo of them.

"Are you still mad at us?" asked Pisces.

"Not at all."

Cancer snorted. "Your expression says otherwise."

"You snuck along on my vacation. Do you even know how insane that is? If I didn't know what you guys were like, I'd take you to a hospital to get your heads checked, and you're not even the craziest ones!"

Pisces shrugged. "Who doesn't love Virgo?"

"Everyone," replied Gemini.

Cancer frowned. "Hey, they're crazy but it's kinda cool. Like, Sagittarius is insane, but it just makes him even more hot."

Antlia glanced at Cancer. "You talk about Sagittarius a lot."

"I miss him! He always makes me smile and stuff. I feel more safe around him."

Gemini smiled. "There's nothing wrong about talking about the one you love. Old man Antlia is just jealous because he hasn't found love."

"Who would he go well with?" asked Pisces.

Gemini grinned. "Ooh. We're playing match maker for Antlia?"

Antlia blushed. "No. You're not."

Cancer bit the inside of her cheek. "There's Lynx."

"You are not setting me up with Lynx!" protested Antlia.

"Why? Not attracted to them?" asked Pisces.

Antlia sighed. "I'll work out my own love life. Don't you dare try to interfere." Then he quickly walked away.

***

Phoenix opened the door and smiled. "Hey guys."

"QUICK! LET US IN!" Sagittarius pushed everyone into the house and locked the door.

"We're hiding from Cappy," announced Scorpio. The zodiacs sat down on the couch.

"Visitors!" squealed Pegasus who was solving a puzzle on the coffee table.

Aries coughed. Pegasus got up and patted Aries on the back. Aries looked at Pegasus.

Pegasus smiled at Aries. "You coughed so I'm patting your back to help you cough!"

Aries laughed. "How is she so cute?"

"So, what is Capricorn chasing you guys for this time?" asked Pheonix.

"Drinking crazy potions and almost getting arrested," replied Leo.

"So a typical day in the zodiac mansion!" added Aquarius.

"It's like a game of hide and seek." Libra crossed his legs on the coffee table. "Capricorn is hunting for us and we're hiding."

Everyone heard a knock on the door.

"You idiots forgot to sign out of find my I-phone!" announced Capricorn's voice.

Aquarius looked at Phoenix. "Help us."

Phoenix sighed. "I'll distract her while you guys sneak out back. Go!"

The zodiacs got up and ran. Phoenix answered the door.

"I know they're here."

"Capricorn... you look determined."

"Where are they?"

"Here!" cheered Pegasus.

"Where exactly?" asked Capricorn.

Pegasus looked around. "Sneak out!"

"Sneak out where?" asked Capricorn.

"They ran as soon as you knocked on the door," replied Phoenix.

"You look tired. Do you need anything Phoenix?"

"No thanks. Hydrus is taking Pegasus to a movie later, so I'm just kind of busy trying to play with her and cook her food at the same time."

Capricorn sighed. Helping Phoenix was more important than getting revenge. "Here. I'll cook while you play with her."

Phoenix's face lit up. "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely. You just need to call if you need help, we're here for you." Capricorn took off her shoes and walked into the kitchen.

"Puzzle!" Pegasus shoved a handful of puzzle pieces in Phoenix's hands. Phoenix smiled and helped Pegasus solve her puzzle.

***

Taurus grabbed her phone off the table next to her bed. She unlocked her phone. I probably look like a mess. I'll text a hospital selfie to the group and freak everyone else out.

Taurus got on her camera. That's when she realized she had a new hair colour.

Taurus screamed and threw her phone across the room.

The door swung open. "I was passing by and I heard you scream. Is everything alright?" The nurse scanned his surroundings but didn't see any danger.

Taurus looked at the brown strands of hair. "My hair... it's brown!"

"Uh... yes?"

"I'M A BLONDE!"

"Uh... I don't know what to do about this. I don't know how your hair went from blonde to brown."

Taurus curled her fists. "Well does it at least look alright?"

The nurse walked over and he inspected her hair. "Your eyebrows look too light, but otherwise you could pass for a natural brunette."

Taurus threw a pillow across the room. "Can you tell if it will wash out?"

"I don't know."

"Alright. Fine. Whatever! It's not like I care."

"Okay. I'll leave you here then." The nurse left.

Taurus muffled her voice by screaming into a pillow. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! WHOEVER DID THIS IS DEAD!"

***

Aries, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius and Aquarius were hiding from Capricorn. They accidentally split up when they ran away from Hydra's house. Aquarius and Virgo took the car and drove to the mall, Aries was hiding on Phoenix's roof, Sagittarius was hiding in Phoenix's kitchen, Scorpio was hiding in a tree behind Phoenix's house while Libra and Leo ran away as fast as they could.

***

Capricorn put on the oven mitts and took the smiley fries out of the oven.

Capricorn took the ketchup out of the fridge and poured some on the side of Pegasus' plate. Then she put some on a plate for Phoenix.

Meanwhile, Sagittarius was in the cupboard, praying that Capricorn wouldn't find him.

"The fries are ready!" announced Capricorn.

Pegasus ran into the kitchen. "Where are my fries?" Capricorn gave Pegasus her plate. Pegasus squealed. "HAPPY FACE FRIES!"

Phoenix walked into the kitchen and smiled. "Eat up, you need to eat before uncle Hydrus comes to bring you to your movie."

"Okay!" Pegasus took her plate and ran into the dinning room.

Capricorn passed Phoenix a plate. "Here."

"I'm not hungry."

"Phoenix, if you don't eat I'll stay over here to make sure you're taking care of yourself."

"I am eating. Most of the time."

"Phoenix..."

"I just don't have a large appetite anymore, and all I can eat is fries, chicken nuggets and frozen dinners because I don't know how to cook. Hydra did all the cooking."

Capricorn's heart dropped. "Oh."

Phoenix took the plate of fries and joined Pegasus in the dinning room.

Capricorn sighed and leaned against the counter. "How am I going to fix this?"

"It's not your mess to fix." The cupboard opened and Sagittarius crawled out. "You can't always fix everyone else's problems, Cap."

"YOU!" Capricorn angrily pointed at Sagittarius. "I'm still mad at you and you will be punished."

Sagittarius sighed. "I'm stopping you from worrying like crazy and staying up all night trying to solve this. Phoenix will find a way out of this, she just needs time. Don't burn yourself out trying to fix her problems. There's nothing you can do and you'll just tire yourself out, like always."

"But, I can't help it. I feel like when there's something wrong I have to do something about it. I can't just leave her like this."

"Well, what can you do Cappy?"

Capricorn buried her face in her hands and let out a long sigh. Then she gasped. "I can teach her how to cook. Or I can ask Lynx to come over and spend time with Phoenix until she can cook for herself!"

Sagittarius blinked in surprise. "Oh. There's actually a solution to this. Well done."

Capricorn gave Sagittarius a strong hug. "See? There is a solution. I knew it!"

"Gah... can...'t... brea...th."

"Sorry." Capricorn let him go. "If you help me catch the others, I'll let you get off with your punishment."

"You mean I get to catch the others AND I get to help you punish them? Betrayal it is!" Then Capricorn and Sagittarius ran out of the house.

***

Aries stepped away from the open window where she was eavesdropping. Then got back up on the roof and texted the others.

Aries: GUYS!!! SAGITTARIUS IS ON WIFEY'S SIDE!!!

Capricorn: Aries -_-

Scorpio: Aries this is our zodiac group chat. Not the troublemaker group chat

Aries: Crap

Sagittarius: Run away because I'll find you suckers and I'll enjoy seeing you get punished! Muahahaha

Leo: TRAITOR!

Pisces: Bonjour mes amis. Ça va bien, oui?

Libra: What did he say?

Gemini: Eiffel Tower, croissant, oui, oui, bonjour, m'appelle, aime!

Aquarius: Woah. Gemini and Pisces can both speak french. That's pretty cool. How did you guys learn how to speak like that?

Leo: PFFFFFFFFFT

Aries: What's so funny?

Libra: OH! Leo knows french! What did they say?

Leo: Only french people will know

Cancer: I'm here too! So, what's up?

Virgo: Not much! You know, hiding from Capricorn, the usual

Cancer: Oh so nothing abnormal. That's reassuring

Capricorn: So, where are you guys hiding?

Scorpio: Come find us and see for yourself 😝

Aquarius: I'll give you a hint... I'm in our hometown

Gemini: I'm not

Pisces: Same

Taurus: WHO DYED MY DUCKING HAIR?!?

Taurus: Ducking*

Taurus: Ducking*

Taurus: Fudge autocorrect

Taurus: AHHHHHHHHHHH

Sagittarius: LEO!

Leo: Sag you coward

Libra: It was Sag

Taurus: Wait, is wasn't Virgo?

Taurus: SAGITTARIUS I SWEAR WHEN I FIND YOU...

Sagittarius: Sagittarius.exe

Capricorn: I hear someone typing. One of you are nearby

Aries: Aquarius is in the bushes

Sagittarius: ARIES IS ON THE ROOF

Aries: GOT TO GO! Later everyone.

Aries: FFFFFFFUUUUCCCCCKKKKK

Aries:YYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUU

Aries:SSSSSSSSAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGG

Sagittarius: I think Leo would have a problem if you did 😜

Capricorn: Woah. A bunch of fire just exploded everywhere

Aries: SAG YOU'RE DEAD!

Aquarius: Isn't it fun when you're not the one that everyone is mad at

Leo: We should try it more often

Libra: Cappy what's going on?

Capricorn: Aries jumped off the roof and started punching Sagittarius. Now they're fighting. Ouch, I just heard something crack

Cancer: ARIES DON'T YOU DARE HURT SAGGI

Virgo: Sag don't you dare hurt bestie Ari

Taurus: BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF HIM FOR FRYING MY DUCKING HAIR

Taurus:AHHHHSNDNNDHXJEBNDHXSHHFHDHEHHDDHHDHXUEHFHD I HATE AUTOCUCUMBER!!!!

Gemini: Our cruise is leaving now. Bye 😘

Pisces: Bye! Tell me who won the fight later!

Scorpio: Everything just got so quiet

Capricorn: That's because I used my powers to tie the fireheads up and now they're in the back of my car. Also, now I know that you're nearby. Here Scorpy, Scorpy~

Scorpio: ...

Scorpio: Scorpy out

Capricorn heard something. She turned around to see Sagittarius and Aries working together to escape. She sighed and decided to deal with them before finding the others.

***

Gemini was looking over the rail of the cruise. "It's cool how you guys could jump in and swim around without worries."

Cancer chuckled. "We truly have the best powers."

Pisces bowed. "The best powers go to the best zodiacs!"

Gemini flicked him on the head. "Must suck not being able to fly, because that's better than swimming underwater anyway!"

Cancer shrugged. "To each their own."

"What's does that mean?" asked Pisces.

Cancer shrugged. "Only smart zodiacs will know."

Pisces grinned. "I'm smart enough to speak french."

Gemini stuck out her tongue. "Well I'm smart enough to not get pushed off the boat."

Pisces stepped back. "You wouldn't dare!"

"You're right! I'm just kidding!" Gemini squinted her eyes. "Maybe."

"Cancer help me." Pisces hid behind Cancer.

Cancer sighed. "That's your problem, not mine."

"Help your best friend out!"

"Why don't we just enjoy our cruise instead of tormenting?" asked Cancer.

Gemini nodded. "Alright."

Pisces gasped. "Wait. We haven't seen Mon- you know who in a while. Why is that?"

Cancer shrugged. "I don't know. She just hasn't shown up lately."

Gemini studied Cancer. "You keep looking away and your hair casually slid in front of your face. You're hiding something!"

"No, no I'm n-not!"

Pisces looked at Cancer. "Yes you are."

"Oh look! Sunset!" Cancer pointed to the sunset.

Pisces and Gemini exchanged a glance. They would discuss this later.

***

Capricorn opened up the car door and screamed. Sagittarius was half out the window. Aries was gone.

The vines unwrapped from around Sagittarius. "Aries opened the window and rolled out a while back."

Capricorn leaned against the car. Then smacked her head into the car. Again. And again. And again. "I'm sick of this shit. Why do I always have to deal with this? Just give me a break for one day."

Sagittarius held Capricorn's head, preventing her from facepalming with the car again. "Okay, let's not damage something beautiful and precious by smashing your head into the car."

Capricorn smiled. "Alright. I guess I shouldn't damage my face-"

"I meant the car."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Come on, let's just find the others again."

***

Taurus was looking around the mall for something to help her turn her eyebrows brown. She popped into a makeup shop.

A worker with fiery red hair was walking around.

"Excuse me? Hi. I need to make my eyebrows brown but I don't know how."

The girl turned around. "Oh. You need to fill them in?"

"I suppose."

"Alright. I'll find something for you." The worker walked away.

Taurus looked around. Then she gasped. There was a chair, positioned in front of a mirror. Workers often sat customers in the chair when trying out makeup on their face, so the customer could see it and judge what looked better or what matched their skin tone better.

Sitting in the chair, was a teenage boy with his black hair pinned back in a sloppy ponytail, while a worker put makeup on his face. Beside the teenage boy, there was another teenage boy laughing his head off and making fun of the black haired boy.

Taurus walked over. "Is this a new phase?"

Aquarius's face heated up. "I lost a dare."

"Pffft no... ahahaha... you didn't... you pfffft... like makeup... AHAHAHAHAHAH...now..."

Taurus face palmed. "Virgo I can't understand what you're saying. You're laughing too much."

"Here. Try this." The worker pulled Taurus over to the chair beside Aquarius and explained how to fill in her eyebrows.

"Wait. Your hair is brown!" exclaimed Virgo.

"You just noticed that now?" asked Taurus.

Aquarius looked at Taurus. "It suits you. You didn't tell me you were going to dye your hair."

"... and then you fill it in with this powder. It's waterproof but you should still be careful. Watch." The worker outlined the outside of Taurus' eyebrows with some (Taurus's skin tone) makeup.

"I didn't know either. Sagittarius did it when I passed out. Do either of you know how that happened?"

Virgo shrugged. "I don't know. I can't remember anything from a few hours before we woke up in that closet."

Aquarius bit the inside of his cheek. "Me either."

"What colour eyeshadow?" asked the guy doing Aquarius' make up.

"Hmmm..." Virgo looked at Aquarius. "Maybe a bit of blue eyeshadow would suit him. It would take everyone's eyes away from his natural ugliness."

Aquarius wrinkled his nose. "Excuse me, I got a girlfriend before you so who's the ugly one now?"

Virgo chuckled. "I don't know what kind of freak would agree to date you. She must of been desperate."

"Ahem."

Virgo's face paled as he looked at Taurus who was now glaring at him.

Aquarius grabbed onto the table for support as he laughed. "You forgot she's sitting right there."

The red haired worker glanced at Aquarius, then at Taurus. "Oh. Cute. I've never seen a lesbian couple in public before."

Virgo patted Aquarius and Taurus on the back before falling on the floor from laughing so hard.

Aquarius sighed. "I'm a boy. Also my voice isn't feminine at all what-so-ever."

The red haired girl blushed. "Oh I'm sorry! I just thought maybe you had a boy-ish voice. You just look like a girl with all that makeup on. Sorry!"

Taurus chuckled. "He gets mistaken for a girl quite often. Our friends always make him curl his hair and wear dresses. For us, it's normal now."

Aquarius pointed to Virgo, who was still laughing on the floor. "Also he's the gay one."

Virgo shot up. "I think my girlfriend would say otherwise."

"Fine. You're bi then."

"No, Aqua. You are."

Aquarius arched his eyebrows. "What about your flirting with Libra?"

Virgo mimicked Aquarius' expression. "What about YOUR flirting with Libra? You're the one that kissed him on the cheek yesterday."

"I lost a dare to Sagittarius."

"I'm sure."

"No, you little shit. That's actually what happened."

"Mmmmmmmhmmmmmm."

"Well, you gave Libra a hug when we were watching a movie last night."

"No, I was trying to reach the popcorn that he was splitting with Capricorn."

"Excuses, excuses."

"The only excuse here is you."

"Did that make sense to anyone else?"

"You never make sense but here we are."

"Fight me."

"If you guys fight, you might ruin the make-up," warned the guy putting eyeshadow on Aquarius.

The girl worker looked at Taurus. "I can't imagine dealing with those two."

Taurus sighed. "It's exhausting."

"I suppose teenage boys are all like that," chucked the worker with Aquarius.

Taurus thought for a second. "Yeah, mostly."

"Mostly?" asked Virgo.

"Did you assume that all boys are immature?" asked Aquarius.

Taurus snickered. "Out of the six of you, there's one decent boy. So, yeah. I'd say that's a safe bet."

Aquarius struggled to come up with a comeback. "Yeah... well... all teenage girls are makeup crazy! That's why you're here!"

Taurus just stared at Aquarius. "Have you ever met Aries or Scorpio? You, Virgo, Leo and Sagittarius wear make up more often than they do, just saying!"

"Ooh! Shots fired," muttered the red haired worker.

Taurus grinned. "Also you both got offended and tried to argue against me when I called you immature. Wasn't that immature of you?"

Virgo and Aquarius sat in silence.

The red haired worker laughed and almost messed up while doing Taurus' eyebrow. "Damn, she's good."

"What colour lipstick?" asked the male worker.

"Hmmm..." Virgo examined the pile of lip sticks. "This one!" He held up a bright pink.

"That's brighter than Virgo's future," muttered Aquarius.

"Okay, all done." The red haired worker let Taurus examine her eyebrows.

"I have to do all that everyday?" asked Taurus.

"Unless you want to re-dye your hair. So, want to buy it?"

Taurus sighed. "I guess." Then she got off of the seat and followed the girl to pick out more makeup.

***

After buying the make-up, Taurus waited for the two idiots to finish.

"Alright, all done. Come back anytime you want a makeover!" announced the worker.

"Okay," grunted Aquarius.

Virgo slapped Aquarius on the arm. "What do you say?"

Aquarius sighed. "Thank you. Virgo I look like a clown."

"You lost a dare so it's your own fault."

"I believe Capricorn would want me to do this." Taurus grabbed Virgo and Aquarius's arms.

"What are you doing?" asked Virgo.

Taurus smirked. "Bringing you home. You can either come willingly, or make a scene. Considering the fact that you two got banned from this mall for the rest of the month, I'd suggest we not get security involved."

Aquarius swallowed. "I... wow. She's so clever."

Virgo wrinkled his nose. "Fine. But we'll still escape."

"Don't worry, I'm prepared for that too."

***

Capricorn dragged Aries and Scorpio back inside the house. To make sure they wouldn't run away, she handcuffed them to the coffee table. The coffee table was neatly stacked with heavy things, making it impossible for them to move it.

"Handcuffs? Really?" asked Scorpio.

"I asked the same thing." Sagittarius was handcuffed to the third table leg. He tried to burn the fire-proof handcuff.

"Kinky," muttered Aries.

"That's the first thing you thought of? I wonder what it's like to have a brain like yours," said Sagittarius.

Scorpio glared at Sagittarius. "I wonder what it's like to be a traitor. Oh wait, you'd know."

"Well Capricorn ended up betraying me. Happy?"

Scorpio continued to glare. "You deserve it!"

"For some reason this is kind of exciting. It's like we're prisoners, except we're not," said Aries.

Sagittarius stared at Aries. "Capricorn, I think she's broken."

"No, that's her natural weirdness," replied Scorpio.

"Don't move, I'm going to find the others. Oh wait! You can't move! AHAHAHAHAHA!" Capricorn pointed and laughed at the handcuffed zodiacs before walking out the door.

Aries shrugged. "We'd be free if we burnt the house down."

"Oh look! Something else Sagittarius has experience with."

"I didn't ACTUALLY burn it down. I only had a few close calls."

Scorpio sighed. "You caught the curtains on fire while playing with your fascinating fire."

"I can't help it. Just like you can't help being paranoid!"

Scorpio froze. "But what if Capricorn isn't coming back? Then we'll starve!"

Aries looked at her arms. "At first I wished I had something else instead of a huge burn up to my elbow and lots of scars, but I'm going to consider myself lucky right now."

"Will it burn the whole house down if we burn the table?" asked Sagittarius.

"To burn the table, you'd have to use fire that would burn ME. Because unlike you two, I'm not fireproof."

Aries slapped the floor excitedly. "We could burn it, and Scorpio will put the fire out."

Scorpio looked at the heavy objects on the table. "But those heavy objects won't burn. Like that anvil. Where did she get that?" 

Sagittarius shook his head. "I guess we'll have to wait for someone to save us."

***

Leo and Libra walked out of an ice cream shop.

"Where should we go now?" asked Libra. Then they heard crying behind them. Both boys turned around to see a little kid throwing a temper tantrum. The kid's parent tried to calm them down.

"Ugh, whiny kids," frowned Leo. Then both of them turned around. Someone wearing a hood accidentally bumped into them.

"Sorry." They shoved their hands back in their pockets and walked a few steps before turning around and watching Leo and Libra.

"That creepy dude keeps watching us," muttered Leo.

"The maze part two?" asked Libra.

Leo stepped on Libra's foot. "Don't joke about that. He seriously might be a kidnapper."

Libra casually looked back. "He's grinning and following us."

"Maybe it's a prank."

"I doubt it." 

"It's getting dark. Let's go home."

"I feel weird."

"Why am I getting tired?" Leo collapsed.

"Uh oh." Libra collapsed beside Leo.

***

Cancer was looking at the night sky on the balcony attached to the hotel room. A slight breeze stirred her hair.

"You look troubled." Pisces leaned against the rail beside her.

"It's nothing."

"Are you sure? I'm not convinced."

Cancer sighed. "It's... personal."

Gemini popped up on the other side of Cancer. "You looked weird when I mentioned Moncer earlier. How about you tell us what's going on and we'll each tell you a secret too."

Cancer stared at the stars in the sky. "I-I fighured out a way for me, for me to, to... I can prevent Moncer."

Pisces and Gemini stared at Cancer. "How?"

"C-Capricorn found a p-potion. It, it prevents Moncer from showing up for, for twenty four hours. See?" Cancer pulled out a small potion that was one quarter gone.

"Oh Cancer." Pisces gave her a hug. "I hope you're not taking that everyday."

Cancer's cheeks turned red. "I don't want to inconvenience you guys. Capricorn and Taurus always joked that they're the only two normal ones left and that everyone else has gone crazy." Cancer wiped tears from her eyes. "But I just wanted to stop Moncer, so that I'd be normal too and I wouldn't be such a burden to them."

Gemini gasped before hugging Cancer. "Cancer! Do NOT call yourself a burden. Without crazy Moncer, you wouldn't be yourself. Capricorn and Taurus are very smart. They've chased the rest of us around before, so it's nothing they can't handle."

Pisces nodded. "She's right. Only take that potion when you need it, like if we're going on a nice vacation or somewhere important. When we get home, I hope you'll stop."

"But life would be so much easier without Moncer around. If only I was more normal!" sobbed Cancer.

Gemini sighed. "Cancer, no one minds Moncer."

"W-what?"

Gemini looked at Pisces as if to say you tell her.

"Cancer... you think that we all hate dealing with Moncer and that we wish she didn't exist, but it's all in your head. No one hates Moncer, she's actually pretty cool. She's always roasting Virgo, Aquarius and Libra, she's crazy smart, like you, and she knows how to have fun. Sure, she's a handful when she goes crazy, but overall we care about her. You're the only one that hates her."

Cancer continued sobbing. "But, she's so aggressive."

Gemini's shoulders slumped. "Cancer, we don't care. Hating her would be like hating you. You keep telling us not to hate Moncer, but nobody does."

"Thank you guys! Thank you so much!"

Gemini smiled. "Now, let's get you inside so you can get to sleep."

"Wait, you guys said you'd tell me a secret too."

Pisces bit his lip. "Hmm... on our biology test, I got a thirty two percent on the respiratory system unit. My average dropped quite a bit, so I studied hard for the next unit to bring it up."

Gemini shrugged. "That's not bad. My secret is that my hair colour is naturally pink." Cancer and Pisces stared at her. "Kidding! I still bite my nails. I know, it's a habit, but I can't help it."

Pisces smiled. "Let's all go to sleep now."

Gemini and Pisces walked back inside the hotel room with Cancer. But they forgot to lock the balcony doors...

Just kidding. Gemini walked back to make sure that they were locked before going to sleep.

Leo and Libra woke up. They were handcuffed to a coffee table with five other zodiacs.

"What's going on?" asked Leo.

"You were caught," replied Virgo.

Libra looked around. "By the look of it, we all were."

"How did Capricorn catch us?" asked Leo.

Capricorn sat down beside Leo. "Easy, while you were distracted with the crying kid, I put tasteless sleeping power in your ice cream. When you both turned back around, I pretended to bump into you before stalking you."

Libra's eyes widened. "Oh my god. That sounds like some kind of bullshit that they do in movies."

"I actually got the idea from a movie," smirked Capricorn.

"So, what are we doing here?" asked Aquarius.

"What do you think Calypso?" asked Taurus while petting the cat. "She said that we should leave them handcuffed to the table so that they'll learn a lesson."

"Did anyone else hear her say that?" asked Sagittarius.

Virgo cleared his throat. "Excuse me, I'm actually fluent in cat. She said let them go."

"You can talk to each other until you fall asleep. Or you can stay up and keep the insomniac company, doesn't matter to me." Then Capricorn walked up to her room. Taurus took Calypso and walked away.

"I'm going to say what we're all thinking," said Aries. "CAPRICORN HAS LOST HER FUCKING MIND!"

Scorpio sighed. "She's getting smarter. I can't break out of these."

"Is she crazy?" asked Leo.

"I know we need to learn a lesson," admitted Virgo. "But this is going too far!"

"Is it? We did almost get sent to jail," added Libra.

"Not helping," hissed Virgo.

"So, while we're all handcuffed here, lets spill some secrets!" grinned Aquarius.

"Why are you wearing makeup?" asked Libra.

"I lost a dare."

"He's going through a phase."

"Shut up, Virgo."

"Well, I'm going to sleep." Sagittarius leaned on Libra before going to sleep, failing to realize what happened to his hair.
