Aries woke up. She smiled and wrapped her arms around Leo. Then she heard a chuckle. She opened her eyes to see Sagittarius lying between her and Leo.

"Paint me like one of your french girls!" He blew her a kiss.

"Sag! Don't interrupt our cuddle time!" whined Leo.

"It's still cuddle time, except with Sagittarius! I'm super cuddly, just ask Cancer."

"Why are you here?" asked Aries.

"Cancer snuck off to Paris with Gemini and Pisces so I'm lonely. That's why I'm spending time with my two best friends!"

"They did WHAT?" asked Leo.

"Shhh! Less talking more cuddling." Sagittarius closed his eyes.

Leo snorted. "I'm not cuddling you."

"Aries?"

Aries sighed. "Fine. You can have five minutes of cuddles before we kick you out." Then Aries cuddled Sagittarius. Leo rolled his eyes and also cuddled Sagittarius.

"I feel so loved! I love how one of you keeps brushing your fingers up and down my arm."

"Sag, that's a spider," said Aries.

"A WHAT?!?" Sagittarius jumped out of bed and ran for the elevator. Aries and Leo laughed their heads off.

"Now we can go back to our cuddles." Leo smiled and pulled Aries closer.

***

"How dare they-"

"Woah. What's going on?" Taurus walked into the living room.

Capricorn threw a pillow across the room. "Pisces, Cancer and Gemini snuck off to PARIS with Antlia!"

"Aww, I've always wanted to go to Paris," said Taurus.

"Yeah, me too. But they just snuck off, without a damn care in the world." Capricorn picked up the pillow and neatly rearranged it in the sofa.

"What's going on in here?" Virgo ran into the living room with Scorpio on his back. Scorpio jumped down and sat on the sofa.

"Let's just call everyone down and explain it!" suggested Taurus.

***

Everyone except for the three short zodiacs were in the living room.

"So, how are we going to deal with the little punks when they get back?" asked Virgo.

"If you so much as touch a hair on my precious Cancer's head-"

"Great. We'll start with her." Then Sagittarius and Virgo started wrestling.

"Sag, must you always wrestle someone?" asked Libra.

"That's enough!" Both boys and glanced at Scorpio.

"Sorry Scorp."

"Sorry Scorpy."

"Is anyone else feeling betrayed that they left without telling us?" asked Aquarius.

"There's no way you'd fit in a suitcase like they did," explained Taurus. "The only ones that could have probably fit would be Aries, Scorpio and mayyyyyyyybe Capricorn. The rest of us are too tall."

"Then maybe we should sneak off on our own trip," muttered Aries.

"Not a bad idea," muttered Scorpio.

"Nobody else is going on any surprise vacations!" announced Capricorn.

"Pfffft she can't stop us," whispered Aries.

"Yeah. Try us, Cappy," whispered Scorpio.

"I hope they're having fun," said Libra.

"If they're on vacation without us, we're going to do something fun without them!" announced Leo.

"You're so petty," muttered Sagittarius.

Leo grinned. "Thanks, but I already know I'm pretty!"

"Petty! P-E-T-T-Y!"

"No, it's pretty. P-R-E-T-T-Y!"

"I guess we should all try to think of something to do. Until then, I'm going back up to my room." Virgo got up and walked away.

"Yeah. I've got better thing to do than to sit in the living room all day," Aquarius got up and left.

"Can't anyone think of anything for us to do?" asked Taurus.

"I'd say go to Paris, but I don't think we can do that," replied Libra.

Capricorn sighed. She would have liked for everyone to go to Paris, but that wasn't an option anymore. "Yeah. We'd need to plan it out."

***

Pisces, Cancer and Gemini were eating pastries in Antlia's hotel room. Antlia was gone sight seeing.

"Wanna know what's more delicious than these?" asked Gemini.

"What?" asked Cancer and Pisces.

"Nothing!" Then Gemini shoved the rest of her strawberry pastry in her mouth.

"Can we go see the Eiffel Tower later?" asked Cancer.

"Sure," replied Gemini.

"I'm actually kind of scared to get home. How do you think Capricorn's going to kill us?" asked Pisces.

Gemini shrugged and tried to change the topic. "Let's go visit the bridge! There's a bridge where couples put a lock on it and throw the key into the water below them. It symbolizes that their love will last forever. It's cliché but it's also a must do."

Pisces smiled. "Aww, I think that's cute."

"Meanwhile I'm a third wheel," joked Cancer.

"Nah," replied Pisces.

"I think I'm going to face time Saggi." Cancer pulled her I-pad out of her bag and facetimed Sagittarius.

Sagittarius answered and smiled. "Hey! Cancy! How's your vacation? Are you having fun?"

"Yeah! We've tried dozens of pastries and macaroons. I'm sorry that you couldn't come with me."

"Nah, that's fine. I'm just glad that you're safe. I was so worried when you three snuck off and didn't tell anyone where you were for three days."

Cancer glanced at her feet. "Sorry about that. We couldn't tell you because if you told Capricorn, Scorpio would have dragged us back."

"Nah that's fine. I hope you have a fun trip. What are you guys doing now?"

"Uh, where are we going next Gem?" asked Cancer.

"The Louvre," replied Gemini.

"Isn't that an art museum or something?" asked Sagittarius.

Cancer shrugged. "I'll find out I suppose. We're going to this bridge where you put locks on it and throw away the key. It symbolizes that your love will last forever. I know you're not here with me, but I'll put one on for us anyway, okay?"

Sagittarius grinned. "Aww, please do! Take a picture. That's cute."

Pisces fed Gemini a macaroon. "We need to learn how to make these."

Gemini nodded enthusiastically. "I think that one was cotton candy flavoured." Gemini licked her lips.

Pisces wrapped his arms around Gemini. "I heard there's fireworks going ahead tonight."

Gemini smiled.  "I'll make sure to bring my camera."

"Alright, bye Saggi!" Cancer blew a kiss to the I-pad and turned it off.

"Ready to go?" asked Gemini.

"You have some custard on your lip," announced Cancer.

"I'LL GET IT!" Pisces kissed Gemini before she had a chance to wipe it off.

"Eww." Cancer laughed and pretended to be grossed out.

"Let's go!" announced Pisces. The three short zodiacs walked out of the room.

***

Capricorn walked into the kitchen. Everyone except for Taurus was passed out. Capricorn screamed.

"What's wrong Cap?" Taurus ran out of the living room and witnessed the seven unconscious zodiacs. "A-are they dead?"

Capricorn's face paled. "I don't know." She knelt down and checked Libra for a pulse. "He's breathing."

Taurus looked around. "What happened?"

Capricorn noticed a half empty bottle on the floor.

Crazy potion. Capricorn I'm trusting you to keep this one away from the others
-Hydra

Capricorn dropped the bottle and screamed again.

"Cappy!" Taurus grabbed the bottle and inhaled sharply. "This ain't going to end well at all."

Capricorn curled up in a ball. "I'm too young for jail. I'm too young for jail. I'm too young for jail."

"Relax! We just need to keep an eye on them!" Taurus looked up and froze. "Where did Scorpio and Aries go? Uh... Virgo's gone too."

Capricorn's head snapped up. "I didn't see them get up. Don't let Libra, Aquarius, Sag or Leo out of your sight!"

"Why not?" asked Sagittarius who sat up.

"What happened?" asked Taurus.

Sagittarius shrugged. Then he got up and laughed like a maniac while pulling cans of silly string out of his pockets. He sprayed it everywhere while running out of the kitchen.

"That's crazy. Even for Sag," muttered Capricorn.

Taurus re-read the bottle. "It doesn't say when it will wear off. Is this the end?"

Capricorn held Taurus's hand. "If this is the end, I'm going to kill everyone else in the afterlife."

Taurus smiled. "If this is the end, I want you to know that Libra is behind you."

"What?" Capricorn turned around halfway before all she saw was blue everywhere. Capricorn screamed and took her paint-soaked glasses off her face.

"Hahahahahaha." Libra got up and ran out of the kitchen.

"Pretty!" Then Leo blew a handful of sparkles on Capricorn before catching up to Libra.

"Capricorn! Are you alright?" asked Taurus.

"Do I look alright Taurus?"

"Sorry."

"No, I'm sorry that I snapped. I'm as good as blind without my glasses, which are paint soaked. Could you run up and grab my second pie in my room please?"

"You'll be a sitting target."

"At this point, I really don't care."

"I'll help you up to your room where you can shower. Then I'll bring you your glasses before we beat the shit out of a few shit heads. Sound good?"

"What about the other idiot?"

"He can stay where he is."

Capricorn smiled. "Alright. Thanks Taurus!"

***

Gemini, Pisces and Cancer were walking in the streets after visiting The Louvre.

"Where to now?" asked Cancer.

Gemini checked her phone. "There's a river cruise around here somewhere."

Pisces' face lit up. "Awesome! Let's push cranky people into the water."

"You've corrupted him too much," whispered Cancer.

"I didn't teach him that," whispered Gemini.

"Then who did?"

"Who do you think did?"

"I don't know. Honestly, it could of been the fire signs, Scorpio or the monkey trio."

"Haha. Monkey trio. I'm so using that against trumpet-stealer Aquarius!"

"Why are you guys whispering?" asked Pisces.

"Because we want to know who corrupted you," replied Gemini.

"Was it Scorpio?" asked Cancer.

"What? I haven't been corrupted by anyone."

Gemini sighed. "Okay, that's the perfect thing to say after I corrupt you, but we really need to know who else is doing the corrupting."

Pisces shrugged. "When you find out let me know."

Cancer facepalmed. "He's very good at playing stupid."

Gemini laughed. "I taught him how to do that. It may have worked too well."

"Wait, what does that have to do with a river cruise anyway?" asked Pisces.

Cancer shrugged. "I forgot."

"I'm thirsty. Can we get smoothies or something?" asked Pisces.

"Do you know where they sell smoothies? Or if you can even get smoothies around here?" asked Cancer.

"Nope."

"It's not likely we'll find a smoothie shop here," said Gemini while typing into her phone. "Wait, there's a place called Ulti fruits. I guess that's close enough."

"How far is it?" Pisces stood on the tips of his toes to see Gemini's phone over her shoulder.

Gemini sighed. "It's not around here. Maybe we can try to find it after our cruise."

"Okay. I have a bottle of water in my bag anyway." Pisces took the bag off his shoulders and pulled out a water bottle.

"What do you think the others are doing?" asked Cancer.

Gemini shrugged. "Probably bored out of their minds without us."

Pisces smiled. "Yeah. They're probably watching tv and trying not to kill Virgo."

***

"VIRGO I'LL KILL YOU!" Aquarius chased Virgo around the hammock floor.

"CATCH ME FIRST!" Virgo ran from Aquarius.

"CATCH THE VIRGIN!" Libra and Aquarius both ran after Virgo. The three monkeys continued chasing each other until the elevator door opened to reveal an angry goat.

"I swear when I catch you..." Capricorn glared at Libra.

"AHHHHH! SCARY CAPPY!" screamed Virgo. The three of them slid down the slide that led to the living room.

Taurus was waiting at the bottom of the slide. "CAPPY I'VE GOT-"

"MOVE!" Aquarius made a bunch of wind slam into Taurus, knocking her back. Taurus hit her head against the wall and fell unconscious.

The three zodiacs who were unaware of what happened due to the potion they drank, ran away.

Capricorn slid down the slide and gasped. "Taurus! Oh no they made you drink the potion too! I guess I'll just leave you here until you wake up." Capricorn picked Taurus up and brought her to the couch.

Capricorn made sure Taurus was still breathing. "Um... I can't leave you here, but I can't let the seven craziest zodiacs who took a crazy potion on the loose either. I suppose I can wait here for a bit." Capricorn sat back and turned on the news.

The weather man was doing a weather report. Capricorn rolled her eyes. No one cares about the stupid weather report.

The man looked at the camera and pointed to the green screen that displayed a map behind him. "And we're expecting lost of sun in- AUGH!"

Capricorn's eyes widened. Oh no! Is he having a heart attack?

The weather man moved around as if invisible ninjas were beating him up. Capricorn couldn't believe what she was watching. Someone dressed up in green so they wouldn't be seen on the green screen. I know two people clever enough to do this.

"GET THEM OUT OF HERE! CALL THE POLICE!" shrieked a voice. Capricorn squinted her eyes.

A hand reached in front of the camera and yanked a green hood back. Curly brown hair was shown covering the face of someone that ran away. Capricorn could of swore she saw black hair slip out of the second person's hood before they ran away too.

Sorry Taurus, I'd like to be there when you wake up all crazy, but I have to stop these guys from going to jail. I swear I'm the mother zodiac, always keeping all the immature idiots out of jail. Capricorn grabbed her shoes and ran.

***

Capricorn was driving when she saw two green hoodies sprint past her. Capricorn slammed on the breaks. She was about to turn around when she felt something on the roof of the car. Being in a rush to save Aries and Scorpio from getting arrested as police sirens wailed in the distance, Capricorn spun the car around.

"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Then something hit the ground. Capricorn froze as she looked in the sideview mirrors. Sagittarius was lying on the ground. Capricorn screamed and ran out of the car.

"Let's go again!" Sagittarius held a thumbs up in the air. Capricorn carefully lifted Sagittarius up. His cheek was scratched and bleeding a bit with little rocks everywhere, but he looked alright.

"CIRCLES! LETS GO IN CIRCLES!" Capricorn looked up to see Leo on top of the car.

Capricorn screamed in frustration before opening the back door.

"NOOOOOOOO! I DON'T WANNA GO HOME!" Sagittarius pushed Capricorn away and sprinted down the street.

"WAIT FOR ME SAG!" Leo jumped down and ran.

It took Capricorn all the self-control she had not to punch the car. Okay, they definitely took  more than a crazy potion. Maybe a potion that makes them act like little kids? That seems likely. Capricorn got back in the car and sped after the crazy idiots.

***

Virgo, Libra and Aquarius were in a tree at the park, throwing eggs at people who passed by. The police were too busy chasing Aries and Scorpio to bother with them.

"Egghead! Egghead!" Virgo threw an egg at a woman.

The woman screamed and picked the egg out of her hair before glaring and screaming at the idiots in the tree.

"Her face heated up! Now she's a boiled egghead!" laughed Virgo. Libra and Aquarius almost fell out of the tree from laughing so hard. The woman did not find this funny and she continued to scream at them.

"AHHH ROTTEN EGG!" Libra pointed at an angry girl that stomped over to them.

"Why is Cappy here?" asked Aquarius.

Capricorn jumped up, grabbed Virgo's leg, and pulled him out of the tree.

"Oh no. Monkey down," pouted Aquarius.

"AHHHHH HELP I'M BEING ABUSED!" screamed Virgo. A few people turned to see Capricorn.

"Don't mind him, he's high," lied Capricorn. A few strangers continued to look at Capricorn and Virgo. Capricorn sighed and pulled Libra out of the tree. Then she dragged them back to the car by their legs.

Capricorn opened the car, threw Virgo and Libra in, and made vines tie around them to hold them in place.

Capricorn turned around to go back for Aquarius, when she saw him bowing before her.

"You have caught Virgo and Libra. You have earned your right to take me away." Then Aquarius jumped in the back with Virgo and Libra.

Capricorn shut the door and sighed deeply. "THIS IS THE CRAZIEST AND WEIRDEST DAY OF MY LIFE! I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!" Then she got in the car and drove home. 

***

"WEEEEEEEWOOOOOOOOWEEEEEEEWOOOOOOO!" Aries ran around the front yard mimicking a police siren.

Scorpio ran around with Aries. "WEEEEEEEWOOOOO FREEZE! AHHHHHHHH WEEEEEEEWOOOOOO!" Scorpio mimicked the moment that the police almost caught them.

Capricorn parked the car in the driveway and made a sled out of vines to tow Libra and Virgo in the house. Aquarius gladly followed her and helped tow his friends in the house.

Capricorn locked Virgo, Libra and Aquarius in a closet so they couldn't cause more trouble, before going back outside to find Aries and Scorpio.

"CAPPY!" screamed Aries.

"I wish I had something so I could record everything that happened today." Then Capricorn made branches pop out of the ground and wrap around Aries and Scorpio.

"NOOOOO! LET ME GO!" whined Scorpio.

Capricorn plucked another bottle out of Scorpio's pocket.

Immaturity potion,
Please destroy this potion. It makes everyone who drinks it act like little kids and they become super immature. I don't even know why I have this, just get rid of it, okay Capricorn?
-Hydra

"I need to go through that box of potions and get rid of them," muttered Capricorn before bringing Aries and Scorpio to lock them in the closet too.

***

Unconscious Taurus was on the sofa. Leo was sitting on poor Taurus while Sagittarius dyed her hair.

"Her hair looks so pretty!" Then Sagittarius laughed.

Capricorn towed Aries and Scorpio towards the closet, unaware of what was going on.

"All done!"

"Ooh. Fabulous!"

After locking the closet door, Capricorn turned to see what was going on. Capricorn's heart sank as she panicked. Taurus took such good care of me. How could I let this happen to her?

"She mad I think," said Leo. Capricorn ran over to Leo and grabbed his wrist hard enough for her nails to dig in his skin. "Owie!"

"No one hurts Taurus." Capricorn dragged Leo and Sagittarius over to the closet. Both boys tried to get away but angry Capricorn is hard to escape from.

"Yayyyyyyy closet party!" cheered Aquarius as Capricorn shoved the two new zodiacs in the closet.

***

Capricorn sat beside Taurus. She's still not awake? The potion should of woken her up by now. Wake up Taurus! Capricorn shook Taurus and flicked her on the head. She panicked and re-checked her pulse. She's breathing. I should take her to the hospital, I don't like this... Capricorn lifted Taurus and carried her to the car, promising to get Leo and Sagittarius back for dying Taurus's hair brown. Capricorn didn't know if the dye was permanent or temporary.

***

The sky was dark. Colourful fireworks exploded near the Eiffel Tower.

Pisces smiled and wrapped his arm around Gemini. Gemini wrapped her arm around Cancer so she wouldn't feel left out.

"I'm so glad we came up with this idea," said Pisces.

Cancer smiled. "I know right! This vacation has been so much fun."

Gemini chuckled. "Let's sneak into Antlia's suitcases more often."

Cancer smiled sadly. "I wish Saggi was here with me, but I'm still having tons of fun with my best friends. It would be cool if Taurus was here too. Can we plan another vacation with everyone sometime?"

Gemini shrugged. "I guess. I'll never not want another vacation."

Pisces smiled. "Yeah! Let's plan another vacation! That way when we get back we might not get murdered after all."

***

The three short zodiacs got back to the hotel room late at night. Antlia was asleep on his bed.

"So, who's sharing the other bed?" asked Gemini.

Cancer shrugged. "You guys can since you're a couple. Or the two girls can share a bed and Pisces can sleep with Antlia since he's a guy."

"I don't want to sleep beside Antlia," muttered Pisces.

"I'd offer to let you guys share it, since I likely won't sleep anyway, but that would be awkward," said Gemini.

"You two share! I'll ask for a cot!" Cancer ran out of the room.

***

Later, Cancer came back, wheeling a small bed into the room.

(It looks like that but with a mattress, pillows and blankets.)

Cancer pushed the cot between the two beds and climbed in, under the covers.

Gemini and Pisces shared the other bed.

"I'm so glad that you decided to come with me and Cancer," said Pisces.

Gemini smiled. "Why wouldn't I? I'd never miss a chance to go to Paris." Then Gemini balled up.

"Cold?" asked Pisces.

"Kinda," replied Gemini.

"I heard cuddles make you warm." Pisces pulled Gemini closer and cuddled her.

Gemini smiled and hugged Pisces. "Cuddles always make me warm."

"Are you tired? If you can't sleep I'll try to stay awake so I can keep talking to you."

"No, you get your sleep. I don't want you to be tired in the morning because of me."

"Are you sure? It must suck to have insomnia."

"It does but I'm getting used to it."

"I hate seeing the dark bags under your eyes."

"Me too. But I want you to sleep so you don't get your own dark bags under your eyes."

"If you need anything or if you want to talk you can wake me up, okay?"

"You're so sweet Fishie. I'll be fine."

"Alright... Min!"

"Fishie!"

"Min!"

"Fishie!"

"Min!"

"Shut up I'm trying to sleep."

Pisces and Gemini chuckled. "Sorry Cancer."
