"Okay class did everyone pass in their permission slips for our field trip today?" asked the teacher. Libra, Pisces, Gemini and Scorpio were in history class.

"Can we go already?" asked a random guy in the class.

"As soon as they make the announcement," replied the teacher.

"What can we do while we wait?" asked Libra.

"Whatever you want as long as you do it quietly and don't disturb others," replied the teacher.

Pisces started to draw, Libra and Gemini got their phones and Scorpio sat there finishing up the homework he forgot to do.

"Oh yeah. Let's do a homework check." The teacher started checking on the opposite side of the classroom from Scorpio.

He tapped Pisces on the shoulder. "Help."

"What question are you on?" asked Pisces.

"7."

"Okay here's my notes, copy them down quickly." After quickly copying notes so fast he could barely read them, Scorpio passed Pisces her notes back. Then the teacher checked to see if Scorpio did his work, then she moved on to Pisces.

"You were lucky," said Gemini.

"Yeah, I was," said Scorpio.

Then they heard the announcement. "Attention students, the buses have arrived."

***

All the zodiacs ended up on the same bus. Aries and Gemini sat together, Sagittarius and Capricorn sat together, Aquarius and Pisces sat together, Scorpio and Cancer, Libra and Leo ended up having to sit together and Virgo sat by Taurus.

Virgo was excited for the zoo, but even more excited for her date tonight with Taurus. She was starting to get nervous. Are we supposed to hold hands now, or wait until after the date? Are we like a couple now or do we have to go on a date first? All these questions were running around in her mind when Taurus held her hand and smiled. Virgo smiled back. Okay so it's okay to hold hands now. But... Then Virgo decided to just stop thinking so much and relax.

Aries turned around in her seat and took a photo of Taurus and Virgo. "I didn't know you two liked each other. Are you guys dating?" Both Virgo and Taurus sat there in silence because they didn't know how to reply. "Okay I'll stop tormenting you guys now."

***

At the zoo, the students were allowed to split up. Pisces, Libra, Taurus, Aquarius, Virgo and Cancer went to see the cute animals like the flamingoes or pandas while Aries, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Scorpio, Gemini and Leo went to see the scarier animals like the lions or crocodiles. The point of the field trip was to observe how animals interact with each other. That and the teachers wanted a break from yelling at students.

***

"Look! It's a baby panda!" said Pisces. The baby panda looked up at them. Then they took selfies with the panda in the background.

"I love pandas," said Cancer.

"Look! A giraffe!" shouted Pisces. Everyone went to take giraffe selfies.

Aquarius checked the time with her phone. "I'm starting to get hungry."

"Me too," agreed Taurus.

"Alright let's take a snack break. So... Where do we find food?" asked Virgo.

"I'm guessing at a place that sells food," said Cancer sarcastically.

Libra searched her pockets. "Check the map."

"Pisces fed it to a goat earlier," said Aquarius.

"HEY! He snatched it from me! Sheesh what a rude goat that was!" Pisces defensively put her hands on her hips.

"It ate the whole map too," said Cancer.

Virgo nodded. "I was afraid it was going to choke."

"Let's ask one of the staff," suggested Taurus.

"Good idea. How do we know who the workers are?" asked Cancer.

"Maybe the girl over there with the workers outfit?" asked Virgo sarcastically. They walked over to the worker.

"Excuse me, where can we find food?" asked Aquarius.

The worker handed them a map. "Over here is where you can get ice cream, and over here you can get hamburgers and hot dogs but you can't go around animals with food."

"Okay thanks," said Taurus. Then as they were walking, they saw a little boy and he was crying.

Virgo ran up to him. "Hi. What's wrong?"

"STRANGER DANGER!" screamed the little kid who the he punched Virgo in the face.

"Forget it, you can keep crying."

The kid ran away from them.

"Kids sure are annoying these days," sighed Taurus.

"Imagine the fire signs' kids," chuckled Libra. "I'm going to make sure that my kids aren't the same age as theirs."

"What's wrong with a bunch of miniature Aries, Leos, and Sagittarius running around?" asked Aquarius. "As long as they don't have their parents personalities."

"I'm pretty sure Sagittarius' kids will know how to pick locks by the time they're four," chuckled Pisces.

"And Leo's will be headaches," sighed Libra. "And Aries' kids will probably be bossy."

"Wouldn't it be funny if one of us ended up with them?" asked Pisces.

Cancer laughed. "Well Sagittarius is taken. Aries is... well anyway that just leaves Leo. Who wants to date Leo?"

Libra pulled Pisces' arm up. "Pisces does!"

Aquarius elbowed Libra. "Your hand is also up."

Libra let go of Pisces to drop her hand. "Absolutely not. Being his best friend is enough."

Virgo noticed Aquarius' uncomfortable expression as they joked about who was going to date Leo. She decided to not think much of it.

Taurus smirked. "Jokes on you all. I'll date Leo."

Virgo rolled her eyes. "You'd have to leave Cancer alone first."

"Why are you bringing me into this?" Cancer blushed out of embarrassment.

"I could never leave baby Cancer alone. Tormenting him is too much fun." Taurus squished Cancer's cheeks. "Isn't that right little baby Cancy?"

Cancer pushed Taurus away. "The only reason you pick on me is because I'm short."

Taurus rested his elbow on Cancer's head. "Of course I do. I'll pick on Capricorn if you ever grow taller than him."

"Cancer and Pisces are the same height," announced Virgo.

Taurus nodded and rested his other arm on Pisces' head. "It's more fun tormenting Cancer though. He gets all embarrassed and flustered."

Cancer pouted in response.

"They're so cool," said Sagittarius. They were looking at the crocodiles.

Capricorn shuddered. "They freak me out."

Aries smirked. "One time a little kid-"

"Alalalalalala, I don't want to hear the murder story!" Capricorn covered his ears.

"It's not a murder story. Just that the little kid fell in and got eaten alive," said Aries casually.

Scorpio's shook his head. "I worry about you sometimes."

"We all worry about you, Scorpio," said Capricorn.

"What?"

"What?"

Sagittarius checked the map. "I want to see the cheetahs!"

"Let's go," said Capricorn.

Sagittarius paused, noticing that they only had four people. "Wait where's Gemini and Leo?"

"I think I have an idea," sighed Scorpio.

***

"Who's a cute little lion?" tormented Gemini.

"Right here," replied Leo.

"Not you." The Lion growled and clawed at the cage.

"The little lion's getting angry," said Leo.

Gemini chuckled. "It reminds me of Aries. It's so aggressive and angry for no reason."

"Ahem." They both turned around. There stood Aries with her hands on her hips.

"Let's see you get out of this one," said Leo.

Gemini blushed. "Oh Aries... I mean... Well... Uhhhh..." Gemini ran off. Aries chased after him. Everyone else laughed.

"They're so in love," said Leo.

Scorpio elbowed Leo. "Leo's getting jealous."

"No, you're the jealous one!"

"You're the one that likes-"

"Can we go see the cheetahs now?" asked Sagittarius who interrupted Scorpio.

"Fine," replied Capricorn.

"Can we leave Gemini and Aries here?" asked Leo.

"Unfortunately not," sighed Scorpio.

Sagittarius followed the map. "The cheetahs should be right over here." She paused when she almost ran into Virgo. "I think I found one."

Virgo rolled her eyes. "We're getting lunch now. You guys can come along with us if you want."

"Alright!" agreed Capricorn. "I'm hungry."

Scorpio's looked around. "We lost Aries and Gemini."

Virgo shrugged. "That's not our problem. They'll find us when they're finished acting like children."

***

Nope. Not right. Too dark. Not good enough. Later on that night, Virgo looked through her closet. Then someone knocked on the door. "Come in."

Libra walked in. "What are you doing?"

"Looking for something to wear for my date with Taurus," said Virgo. "I can't find anything!"

"Here." Libra searched through the closet until she found the dress Virgo bought in Florida.

"Thank you so much!" Virgo went to change in the walk-in closet. When she came out, Virgo wore a pretty green dress that matched her eyes.

"Try these." Libra handed Virgo a pair of high heels. "Perfect. Now let me do your hair and make up."

"Libra thank you so much," said Virgo.

"No problem."

"Taurus is lucky that I'm actually willing to dress up like this. I hate dresses," whined Virgo.

"It's only for like an hour. You'll be fine."
