It's been a few days since the day at the water park. Virgo was still ignoring Capricorn. There was only a few days left of the vacation. So far they went to more amusement parks, they spent a day shopping (Scorpio did not like this idea but almost everyone else did) and they went to another water park.

  Aries ended up literally dragging Virgo on the tower to terror and Leo did the same thing with Libra. Then Aries bought the photo because she was smiling while Virgo's eyes looked like they were popping out of her head and her mouth was wide open. Libra looked like she was going to throw up.

Today everyone went to swim with the dolphins and other sea creatures. Leo was complaining about how he didn't want to get eaten by sharks but Virgo explained how those sharks can't bite people. The place that they are going to has a huge pool full of sharks that don't bite, fish, manta rays and sting rays with their stingers clipped (this does not hurt the animals).

There's also a special area for dolphins and a trail that led into a forest area where you could go on a walk when you got tired of swimming and see different types of birds.  There were a few areas where you could swim without a wet suit, but there weren't any sea creatures in those areas.

After everyone arrived, all the zodiacs put on wet suits, goggles, and snorkelers. Then they started swimming in a massive pond full of sea animals.

  In the water, Leo kept trying to chase the fish; Virgo, Libra, Aquarius, Cancer, Capricorn, and Sagittarius were just floating around and watching the sea creatures as they swam by; Pisces kept forgetting that she was wearing a snorkel and dived underwater, filling her mouth with water; Aries kept following the sting rays and manta rays and Gemini, Scorpio and Taurus followed the sharks. After an hour or two of swimming, everyone decided to take a break except for Pisces and Scorpio. They wanted to swim for longer and Taurus had to drag them away from the fish.

After removing their wet suits and returning the snorkelers, the zodiacs went to eat lunch. After everyone ate, Virgo kept saying that everyone should wait half an hour before swimming but Leo lead everyone else over to the wetsuits so they could swim with the dolphins. Virgo eventually gave up and went over to get a wetsuit like everyone else.

***

In the water, there were dolphin trainers who explained how to swim with the dolphins. Afterwards, they let the zodiacs swim with the dolphins. Some of the dolphins were difficult to swim with because they swam so fast and dove underwater, but others were very friendly and loved the attention they received.

After an hour, the zodiacs decided to go for a walk in the forest area. They returned their wet suits and walked around in their swim suits.

The forest had many tall trees and plants. Many birds flew around, while others walked around on the ground. A parrot landed on Libra's head at one point, which made everyone laugh.

"So... How's life?" asked Pisces. Everyone looked at Pisces with confused expressions. "I'm trying to start a conversation, we barely spoke all day."

"I don't want to talk much," said Virgo.

Leo decided whether or not he wanted to stir the pot. He eventually decided he would. "You love talking."

"Not anymore, somethings just don't last forever."

Capricorn sighed and stopped walking. "Look Virgo, I'm sorry. I didn't realize I was ditching you but please talk to me. We used to be such good friends, remember?"

Virgo's eyes started to water as she remembered all the fun times they shared. Part of her wanted to forgive Capricorn, but she was still mad at him. She didn't have a crush on him anymore, but she still loved being his friend. "That's the past. I'm focusing on what's happening right now instead. Don't guilt trip me with old memories."

"Exactly! Me accidentally ditching you is in the past. So let's focus on being better friends right now. We were really good friends and I don't like seeing you get mad at me, I don't like you ignoring me. If you forgive me then I promise to go on a few rides with you tomorrow and I won't ditch you ever again."

Sagittarius gasped dramatically. "Remember not to ditch me for your best friend." Everyone laughed, including Virgo.

"Fine I forgive you. BUT if you ignore me again accident or not I will ignore you for the rest of my life."

"Ummm Virgo?" asked Aries. "I know you can hold grudges for a long time, but I don't think you can ignore someone for the rest of your life. There's a side of you that cares about others to much for that to happen."

"Shhhhhhhhh!"

"That's the thing with best friends, they know everything about you," shrugged Aries.

"Like the time in third grade when you got mad at Cancer, you were the one that stole his pencil in school and hid it in Gemini's pencil case so Cancer would think Gemini stole it," said Capricorn.

Cancer furrowed his brow. "That was you?"

"Aries came up with the idea," said Virgo.

"I say we punish them both!" suggested Gemini.

Aries and Virgo started running. Gemini ran after them. Everyone else started laughing.

Then on the trail a peacock jumped out of the bushes and blocked their path. He spread out his feathers and hissed at them.

Taurus paused. "Uh oh."

"Awww it's so cute," said Pisces and Cancer at the same time.

Scorpio slowly backed away. "Yeah it would be cute if it didn't look like it wanted to eat us."

"Peacocks don't eat people," said Libra. She took a selfie with the peacock.

Aquarius took a picture of Libra taking a selfie with the peacock. "It's still pretty. Even when it's glaring at us."

"How do you know it's glaring?" asked Leo.

"Well it doesn't look like it's smiling, does it?"

"That's a he not an 'it'." A worker came over and gave the peacock some food. "That's a good boy! Now why don't you move and let these people walk."

The peacock followed the worker away from the trail. The zodiacs continued their walk.
After the walk the zodiacs found Gemini, Aries and Virgo, then everyone went swimming with the fish again.

Everyone arrived at the hotel early so they decided to relax in their hotel rooms. Aries, Aquarius and Sagittarius were watching tv when Aries got bored and decided to take a walk on the beach behind the hotel.

As soon as Aries arrived she took her sandals off and walked barefoot on the warm sand. The beach was empty, with an orange and pink sunset over the sparkling water. At first Aries ran around, standing up to her knees in the water.

Then she saw Gemini sitting on the sand, looking deep in thought. Aries threw sand at him.

He got up and looked at her. "You're gonna get it." Gemini chased her as she laughed and picked up handfuls of sand to throw at him. Eventually, she got tired and decided to stop running. Gemini caught up and threw sand at her. They both laughed.

"Can you remember a time when we were both laughing instead of you glaring at me?" asked Gemini.

"Nope. Should I glare at you again?"

"No, your face looks a lot nicer when you smile."

Instead of glaring at him, Aries looked down to hide her blush. "Gemini can I ask you something?"

"Anything."

"Did you give me the earphones?"

"Maybe..."

"Why? Why are you being so nice to me lately? Why did you stop flirting with other girls? At the water park we passed by a lot of pretty girls and you barely even looked at them. A month ago you would have tried to get their phone numbers. You've been acting different lately."

"Well, I'm not flirting with others because I guess I like someone else. I've liked her for a long time, but lately I've stopped being interested in other girls."

"Oh."

"Be honest with me. Why do you want to know that?"

"I don't know."

Gemini walked over to Aries. "Aries... I like you. You're beautiful. And I don't know how you feel but I don't care. I wanted to tell you how I feel for so long now."

"You want to know how I feel?" asked Aries.

"Yeah."

"I feel like you're the biggest fucking idiot!"

Gemini's eyes widened. "I'm sorry."

"I can't believe it took you so long!" Aries stood on the tips of her toes, cupped Gemini's face, and kissed him. "I've wanted to do that for a while now."

"I'm so confused. You're not mad at me?"

"You're an idiot. But you're my idiot." Aries grabbed Gemini's hand and walked around the beach with him.
