"How much further?" asked Cancer.

"Hmm... Another while." Pisces held the map like it was a precious baby.

"I hope the rain waits for us to get back," announced Scorpio.

"Yeah," agreed Pisces.

"It's starting to get dark out, we should head home soon," suggested Cancer.

"No way! We need to find that treasure first," said Pisces.

Scorpio nodded. "We didn't come all this way for nothing."

"Yeah whatever. But we'll all be cold if we're stuck here at night in the rain," said Cancer.

Scorpio sighed. "That won't happen."

"Are you sure?" asked Cancer.

"Hey guys. Let's start running so we can get there faster. Race you guys there!" Pisces started running. Scorpio and Cancer chased after her.

"Where's the water signs?" asked Virgo.

"I don't know," replied Aquarius from the kitchen. Then they heard a scream that was cut short by someone covering their mouth.

"What's going on in that kitchen?" asked Gemini.

"Aquarius, Taurus and Capricorn. What are you up to?" asked Libra.

"Oh nothing," replied Taurus.

"We're making snacks," replied Capricorn.

"Has anyone seen Leo?" asked Sagittarius.

"Oh. That's what they're doing in the kitchen," said Aries.

Virgo walked into the kitchen and saw Leo taped to the wall with Aquarius, Taurus and Capricorn laughing and adding more tape. "What did he do?"

"He buried a box full of bugs. He knows I hate bugs," replied Aquarius. Leo started to panic and tried to break out when Taurus took off Leo's shoes and started to tickle his feet. Then all the other zodiacs came in to watch. Aries and Sagittarius were on the floor laughing so hard.

"Wow you managed to get caught," snorted Libra.

"Tickle, tickle, tickle." Capricorn tickled Leo's other foot with Taurus. Leo was trying to scream but his mouth was covered in tape.

"Hey Leo. Smile." Aquarius took a picture.

"Guys that's not fair. You need to tickle his stomach too." Gemini as he ran over and joined in.

"It looks like he's being tortured," laughed Libra.

"Haha Leo got caught," tormented Aries.

"He's gonna kill us later," laughed Sagittarius. Then they decided to use this opportunity to bake while Leo can't eat the cake batter. But what they didn't know was that Aries and Sagittarius were glad to take his place as the cake batter eaters.

Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer took a break to eat and drink.

"So tired," panted Pisces.

"I know right! I'm exhausted," agreed Scorpio.

"Yeah. Too bad we only have a few snacks though, I'm starving." Cancer looked through his snack bag.

"Here." Pisces passed Cancer a bag of chips.

"What if the key opens the box and there's just like a five dollar bill?" asked Scorpio.

"Then I get the five dollar bill," replied Pisces.

"No I get the five dollar bill since I found the map!" declared Cancer.

Scorpio looked up and saw the grey clouds above him. "Anyways, we better get moving." Then the three water signs got up and continued walking.

"Are we almost there?" asked Cancer.

"Yeah, almost," replied Pisces.

Cancer smiled. "Maybe there's gold in there."

Scorpio shrugged. "Maybe."

"Guys. We're here. They key is underground next to that tree." Pisces pointed ahead of her. The water signs all got down and started digging.

"Got it." Scorpio pulled the key out of the ground.

"Now for the moment of truth," said Cancer. Scorpio unlocked the box.

All three of them opened it.

"OH WOW!" gasped Pisces.

"They're... THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL!" grinned Cancer.

Scorpio smiled. "Wow. We sure are lucky." Inside the box was a bunch of gemstones.

"Where's my gemstone?" Pisces looked around.

"Technically you have two gemstones, the amethyst and the aquamarine," replied Scorpio.

"Here's a ruby, that's one of my gemstones." Cancer held up the red gem.

"Let's sort through this later." Scorpio closed the box and locked it.

"Okay." Pisces snuck an aquamarine in her pocket.

"Now we just have to go back home," said Cancer.

"Okay. Who's leading the way?" asked Pisces. Everyone looked at each other.

"Which one of you knows the way back?" asked  Scorpio.

"Cancer, hopefully," replied Pisces.

"Huh? I don't know the way back." Cancer rose his hands defensively.

"Well someone has to know the way home," said Pisces.

"Nope. Not me," replied Scorpio.

"So no one knows the way home?" asked Cancer.

"That's alright. Let's just follow the map," said Pisces.

"Okay. Where is it?" asked Scorpio.

"Uh... I had it a minute ago." Pisces looked around.

Cancer face palmed. "You must of dropped it when we found the key."

"Then we have to find it! We're lost," panicked Pisces.

"What? No we're not. Here I think I remember the way back," announced Scorpio.

"Really?" asked Pisces.

"Yeah. We go... Uh... Which way did we come again?" Scorpio scratched his head. "Everything here looks the same."

"HELP! WE'RE LOST!" screamed Pisces.

"Hey, Aqua was lost in a forest not too long ago and she made it out fine right?" asked Cancer.

"She wasn't as deep into the forest and she was lucky and guessed the right way," replied Scorpio.

"But the others will come looking for us right?" asked Cancer.

"It doesn't matter, what the fucking hell are we supposed to do until they realize we're gone?" asked Scorpio.

Pisces flicked Scorpio on the head. "Language."

"Fine. What the fucking heck are we supposed to do until they realize we're gone?" asked Scorpio.

"We don't have a lot of food," muttered Cancer.

"Well obviously we have to keep walking and eventually we'll get out of the forest, find out where we are and go home," announced Pisces.

Cancer bit his lip. "But it's almost dark now."

"Where will we sleep?" asked Scorpio.

"AHHHH WHAT WAS THAT? THERE'S WILD HUNGRY ANIMALS IN THIS FOREST!" Pisces climbed up in the tree with the box of gems.

"Yeah. We might encounter a bear or a wolf. I suggest we sleep up in the trees," shrugged Cancer.

Scorpio frowned at the idea. "Yeah I'll definitely fall out of the tree."

"Here, everyone untie your shoelaces," ordered Cancer.

"Why? My rainbow shoelaces are so pretty. You better not break them," warned Pisces.

"Here." Scorpio passed Cancer the shoelaces.

After Cancer got everyone's shoelaces, he tied them together. "We'll tie ourselves to the tree. It might not be comfortable but at least we might be able to sleep."

Pisces smirked. "Smart thinking."

The three of them climbed up in the tree and Cancer tied the shoelace rope that he made around all three of them and the tree. They were each sitting on their own tree branch.

"There. That should be good." Cancer tied the shoelace rope five times.

"Unless a shoelace snaps and we fall and die. That will be bad," shrugged Scorpio.

"Not helping!" shrieked Pisces.

Scorpio shrugged. "Whatever. Let's just try to sleep."
