Aquarius woke up and saw Gemini and Libra playing with Quinn.

Libra smiled sadly. "We can't keep him up here forever."

Aquarius sighed. "I don't know what to do about that." She tried thinking of solutions, but nothing worked.

"Maybe we could ask the others," suggested Gemini.

Aquarius shook her head. "That's not a good idea."

"Like, what if they tell us we can't have a dog and make us put Quinn up for adoption?" asked Libra.

Gemini sighed. "First of all, you don't put a dog up for adoption, you bring it to a shelter. Secondly. they'll find out sooner or later. Plus Quinn can't stay up here. What happens when he needs to... Um... You know."

"Let's build a doghouse," suggested Aquarius.

Gemini rolled his eyes. "And we could scream HEY, WE HAVE A DOG HERE while we're at it."

"That's true," nodded Libra. Then they looked at a little yellow puddle under Quinn. Gemini glared at Aquarius and Libra.

Aquarius raised her hands defensively. "Hey. Not out fault."

"We'll just build ourselves a little fort but hide Quinn in there for now," said Libra.

"Fine. But one of you have to clean up that puddle. I guess I'll give Quinn a bath."

Aquarius smiled. "He's a quiet dog. Cancer doesn't like loud dogs with annoying high pitched barks so I think him and the others might like Quinn."

"Yeah. After all he's so fluffy." Libra petted Quinn.

Quinn walked over to Gemini. "Ah! Get away from me with your paws full of your pee. I'll take him inside for his bath." Then Gemini left with Quinn.

"I think Gemini is starting to like Quinn," said Libra.

"He sure does try to hide his soft side."

"I wish we could tell the others about Quinn. The water signs would freak out."

"I know but this is an air sign secret."

"Where's Libra and Aquarius?" asked Cancer as he sat down in the dinning room with the other eight zodiacs.

Sagittarius shrugged. "Who knows."

Leo smirked. "Guys I can't eat my cereal with my broken arm. Guess we'll have to find Libra and get her to feed me."

"So you can do a cannonball in a pool, go swimming, have a gummy ear fight and wrestle with Gemini while using your broken arm. But you can't eat cereal?" asked Aries.

"Haha," laughed Gemini. Leo flung a spoonful of cereal at Gemini since Leo was sitting beside him. Gemini pressed his toast to Leo's face and rubbed the jam all over him. Leo took his cereal and dumped it over Gemini's head. Everyone gasped. Gemini poured his orange juice all over Leo.

"GUYS! Stop!" ordered Virgo.

Scorpio sat back and enjoyed the entertainment. "I love how they're doing that with a "I don't care" expression on their faces." Scorpio kicked his feet up on the table which he wasn't allowed to do but everyone was too distracted to notice.

"Guys. Go clean up that mess," ordered Taurus. Then Leo poured his glass of milk all over Taurus. Taurus got up and went to take a shower.

"I'm starting to worry. What's going on?" asked Pisces.

"I don't know but I don't intend to find out either," muttered Cancer. Then Pisces and Cancer left.

"Is this the beginning of a food fight?" asked Capricorn.

Virgo glanced at Capricorn. "Don't encourage them."

"FOOD FIGHT!" screamed Sagittarius.

"NO!" Virgo pulled Sagittarius away from the dinning room so she wouldn't start a food fight. Leo and Gemini got up to take showers.

"So... How's everyone doing today?" asked Aries.

"... There's only three of us left here," replied Capricorn who tried to process what happened.

"Now there's no one to tell me what to do." Scorpio who continued eating his toast while sitting cross legged on top of the table.

"I'm not cleaning up their mess," said Aries.

"Neither am I." Then Aries and Capricorn ran out of the dinning room.

"Did you guys seriously leave me to clean up the mess? Pffffft like I'm going to do that." Scorpio who was now lying on his stomach stretched across the table eating his toast.

  Gemini snuck Quinn upstairs before everyone started eating. Now that he was back in his room, Gemini filled the bathtub full of water.

"Aren't you a cute little puppy?"

Quinn barked.

"Shhhh!" Then he lifted Quinn into the bathtub."Now, where's the dog shampoo?" Gemini searched through the bag. Quinn was happily splashing in the tub. "Aha! Here it is." Then he stared washing Quinn. "Who looks like an oversized marshmallow? That's right! Quinn does."

After a while, Gemini finished washing Quinn.
"Wow. Now you look like an oversized rat." When he lifted Quinn out of the bath, he pounced on Gemini and started licked his face.
"Ah stop it Quinn! Stop." Then he decided to play with Quinn until the others got Quinn a little doghouse built.

"Why exactly do you guys want a fort?" asked Taurus.

"Because we do!" announced Libra.

"Please?" asked Aquarius.

"Fine we'll ALL help. EVERY ONE OF US." Virgo looked at the fire signs, Capricorn and Scorpio who tried to sneak away.

"But Virgo!" whined Sagittarius.

"No complaining."

"Fine," frowned Capricorn.

"Actually I can't because of my broken arm."

"Leo, you're excused. The others aren't," said Taurus. Then Aries, Sagittarius, Capricorn and Scorpio walked back over.

"So, where are we getting the wood?" asked Scorpio.

"Do we get to cut down trees? Can I use the axe?" Aries who picked up the axe and started laughing maniacally.

"Someone take that axe from her. Right away!" ordered Capricorn.

"Can I use the fort too?" asked Pisces.

"Sorry Pisces, but this will be an air sign Fort. But I'm sure we can build the water signs a fort too," replied Aquarius.

"Okay!"

"Let go of the axe, Aries." Cancer was trying to take it.

"NEVER!"

"Let go or something bad will happen!"

Sagittarius walked over and picked up Aries.

"Put me down! Only Gemini is allowed to carry me!"

Sagittarius didn't care. "Too bad."

Capricorn sighed. "We don't even need the axe."

"Aww. I kind of wanted to use it, too," pouted Cancer.

"Okay let's all focus now. There's a pile of wood over there. Everyone get some. Scorpio gets to use the hammer," announced Taurus.

"Yes!" Scorpio smiled.

"Why is Leo watching us with popcorn, sunglasses and a drink?" asked Libra.

"Because he thinks he's cool," scoffed Capricorn.

"HEY! I AM COOL! COOLER THAN YOU!" shouted Leo.

"You think you're cooler than me!" sang
Capricorn. Then Libra, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces and Scorpio started singing the song cooler than me. Everyone else started working.

"Can I at least paint the fort? Please?" asked Pisces.

Aquarius considered it. "Okay. You and Libra can paint."

"Me too?" asked Cancer.

"Sure."

"Me too?" asked Sagittarius.

"No."

"Why not?"

Virgo crossed her arms. "Because last time you got permission to paint your room... Well you know how that ended."

"Heh. Okay you're right." Sagittarius laughed at the memory.

"Ahh! There's a spider on this wood! I mean... Cool. A spider." Scorpio casually stepped back.

Taurus grinned. "Someone's afraid of spiders."

"No! Of course not!" protested Scorpio. Everyone kept talking and tormenting each other and they weren't getting much work done.
