Fish Can't Win At Dodgeball

A/N: Predict future ships. This is always so funny to read when you know who's going to end up with who.

Btw the ships aren't as obvious as they seem. Trust me, you won't guess them all

***

Gem, Sagittarius, Pisces and Cancer were sitting outside during recess. They found a tree on the field in front of the school, and they used as a hang out spot. Sometimes P.E. classes used the field for soccer, softball, etc.

Usually for recess, Sagittarius brought a blanket (that she kept in her locker) out for them to sit on, and they would all share some of their food with each other. Today Gem joined in since she was now friends with them.

Gem picked up one of the brownies that Cancer baked for the group. "So, here's the plan. We're going to slowly convince others to be friends with us. Once we get everybody, we'll all hang out and become friends again."

Cancer chuckled. "Good luck trying to get everyone to be friends with us."

Gem smiled. "With me, you guys have an advantage. See, I wasn't part of the war, so nobody hates me... yet. So I have a chance to befriend everyone else and convince them to become friends with you guys too."

Sagittarius nodded. "That's actually a good idea. Aquarius will come around, he just needs time."

"I'm friends with my brother and Capricorn," explained Gem. "That means I'm already friends with five of you. I just need to become friends with the other seven."

"So, who's our next target?" asked Pisces.

"Let's leave Aquarius, Leo, and Scorpio alone for now," suggested Cancer. "Virgo doesn't seem ready to talk to us either."

"Well, we won't get Libra without Virgo," sighed Pisces. "That narrows it down to Taurus."

"Taurus is nice. We'll convince her easily." Sagittarius tried to steal a strawberry from Gem with out her noticing.

Gem noticed but pretended she didn't. "I haven't met Taurus yet. What does she look like?"

"Short blond hair, big blue eyes and a soft face," replied Cancer.

"Wow. I didn't even remember what colour her eyes were," chuckled Pisces.

Cancer shrugged. "I'm just good at remembering faces."

Sagittarius was bored so she decided to climb the tree that stood behind them. "How much longer do we have for recess?"

Pisces checked his watch. "Nine minutes."

Sagittarius sat on a branch that wasn't too high off the ground. "Suckers. You're all on the ground."

Gem chuckled. "I feel the wind picking up."

"Wait. Wha-"

A strong breeze blew against Sagittarius. Sagittarius grabbed onto the branch and managed to hold on until the breeze died.

Pisces looked at Sagittarius with wide eyes. "What was that?"

"Oh." Cancer looked at Gem. "You have powers too."

"You're not supposed to use your powers on the neutral continent," whispered Pisces.

Gem shrugged. "I don't really care."

Sagittarius climbed down the tree. "Were you trying to kill me?"

"Nah. I would have created another breeze blowing upwards to break your fall."

"I might just have to set your hair on fire for revenge," joked Sagittarius as she sat back down on the blanket.

Gem laughed. "Id probably kill you if you did that."

Sagittarius laughed. "Haha. Wait, you're joking, right?"

"There's Taurus!" Cancer pointed to a girl that was walking inside the school and excitedly jumped up. "I'll introduce her to you if you want."

"Sure." Gemini got up and followed Cancer.

"I'll fold the blanket for you!" Pisces smiled, picked up the blanket, and folded it.

"Why thank you! Wait, don't run off with it-"

Pisces laughed his head off as he took the blanket and ran towards the school.

Sagittarius chased him. "PISCES GIVE ME BACK MY BLANKET! BAD FRIEND! BAD!"

"It's so soft and fluffy!"

"Give it back!"

***

Taurus was getting her books from her locker.

"Uh... hi Taurus."

Taurus spun around to see Cancer who was staring at his feet and a girl she never talked to before.

Taurus felt bad for Cancer. He was always so shy around people he wasn't close with.

"Hi Cancer."

"This is Gem. She's Gemini's twin. She would like to meet you."

"I'm Taurus." Taurus smiled and stuck out her hand.

Gem smacked her hand really hard. "Nice to meet you!"

Taurus' hand stung, so she shook it around a bit. "Ow."

"Oops, did I high five you too hard? I'm so sorry! Just kidding I tried that. Wait no I didn't. You'll never know."

Taurus' eyebrows shot up as she looked at Cancer. "She's just like the fire signs."

Cancer nodded and looked away. "I'll go, so you guys can get to know each other." He walked away.

"I'm trying to meet all the zodiacs. Right now you're the only one that seems approachable."

Taurus nodded. "The others can be rather difficult sometimes." She closed her locker and started walking.

Gem walked beside her. "So far I'm friends with Capricorn, my stinky brother, Pisces, Cancer, and Sagittarius."

Taurus looked ahead before quickly looking away. Her shoulders tensed as she fixed her hair a bit and stole another quick glance ahead of her.

"Huh? What's gotten into you?" asked Gem. She looked ahead. "Oh, there's my brother. Let's go say hi."

"Uh... okay."

"Wait, do you like my bro-"

Taurus covered Gem's mouth. "Are you insane? Don't talk so loudly!"

Gem smirked. "Do you like him though."

Taurus' entire face went red. "No."

"Oh my god! You do!"

"Shhhhhh!"

"Why him? He's so ugly."

Taurus rolled her eyes. "He's not."

"Aww stop blushing. I won't tell him. I thought that poor loser would be forever alone."

Gemini walked up to them. "Hey Gem. I see you're already making more friends."

Gem smiled. "I just met Taurus. She's pretty cool from what I can tell. Wait! You look happy! I think this is the first time I've seen you smile... ever!"

Gemini shrugged. "I'm in a good mood. Don't get used to it though. Hey, there's Capricorn!" He ran away.

Taurus kept her gaze on the floor. "It's nice to see him happy again. I hated seeing him so depressed."

"Did he used to smile often?"

"Not really, but he never looked so upset on a daily basis either. I actually think things are getting better."

Gem smiled. "I hope so. Now, when can we hangout?"

Taurus shrugged. "We could go get a cup of coffee or something after school."

"Sounds good to me."

The bell rang.

"Well, see you." Taurus walked away.

Pisces grinned as he walked into the gym and looked around. He frowned when Aquarius wasn't sitting on the stage.

Where did that little Aqua go?  Time for a wild Aqua hunt.

Pisces walked into the boys dressing room. The only person in here was Virgo.

"Hi. Bye." Pisces awkwardly walked out.

Maybe he's late. Aww, now I don't have a P.E. buddy.

The teacher walked out of her office. "Alright, today we're going to start dodgeball. I'll give you a number, so listen carefully. One, two, one..."

Aquarius seemed to appear out of nowhere, and he stood next to Pisces.

Pisces moved so that one person was standing between them.

Aquarius moved beside Pisces again.

The teacher pointed at Aquarius. "Two..."

Pisces moved so that someone else stood between them.

The teacher pointed at Pisces. "I see you trying to switch places. One..."

Aquarius was thankful that he wasn't on the same team as Pisces.

"Alright, all ones on this side, and all twos on the other side!" announced the teacher before throwing dodgeballs in the middle of the gym. "Three, two, one, go!"

Aquarius sprinted to the middle of the gym and picked up two balls before retreating.

He looked around and spotted Pisces.

Pisces was sticking his tongue at Aquarius and making funny faces at him.

He sure knows how to make people like him. Thought Aquarius sarcastically.

Aquarius threw at ball towards Pisces.

Pisces almost caught it but ended up dropping it.

I'm going to need someone else to distract him.

Aquarius walked up to Virgo. "Hey."

"Hey."

"Want to pick off Pisces?"

Virgo shrugged. "Doesn't matter. Why?"

"He keeps annoying me so I'm going to get him out."

"He keeps trying to be your friend too? Duck!"

Aquarius ducked and a ball almost skimmed the top of his head.

"Yeah. He does it to you too?"

"No. Cancer is the one who keeps bothering me in art."

"Oh right. I remember you telling me that at our apartment yesterday. Pisces is aiming at you."

Virgo looked and jumped out of the way just in time. "He's got good aim, I'll give him that."

"Okay, you distract him and I'll hit him."

"Got it."

Pisces threw another ball at Aquarius. "Yoooooohooo. It's dodgeball, not talk to the guy you share an apartment with!"

Aquarius cracked his knuckles. "Let's get that little punk."

"Oooooooooh. You're cracking your knuckles? I'm SO scared. Wahhhhhh!" Pisces pretended to cry.

Virgo threw a dodgeball at Pisces. Aquarius quickly whipped one right after. Pisces dodged both balls.

Virgo and Aquarius continued trying to hit Pisces. Eventually there were a few people left on Aquarius's team, but Pisces was the only one left on his.

Pisces jumped up and down while waving his arms. "Yooooohooooo! Come get me."

Someone threw a ball. Pisces caught it.

"He's good, I'll give him that," muttered Virgo.

"Okay, wait for someone else to throw a ball. Then you throw one, then I'll throw one," announced Aquarius.

Virgo nodded. "Alright."

"Nananananana! You can't hit me!" sang Pisces while skipping around.

Someone threw a ball. Pisces caught it. Virgo threw a ball. Pisces caught that one too. Aquarius threw another ball. It hit Pisces in the foot.

"Yeah!" Aquarius high fived Virgo.

"I'll get you next time Aqua!" Pisces tried to crack his knuckles but couldn't do it.

Aquarius almost smiled. Almost.

Capricorn and Gemini were in History. The teacher was explaining World War Two.

"Look. It's you." Capricorn pointed to a picture of Adolf Hitler that was in the history book.

Gemini chuckled and looked through the book. "And here's you." He pointed to a rather unattractive looking woman.

The teacher stopped and stared at them. "Gemini and Capricorn, you're both paying attention, right?"

"Of course miss. Who doesn't love learning about the battle of... er... the summit," replied Capricorn.

The teacher rolled her eyes. "Okay, first of all, that's not what we're learning about. Second of all, that was World War One."

Gemini elbowed Capricorn. "Yeah. We all knew that."

The teacher put her hands on her hips. "Since you're an expert, Gemini, who died with Hitler when he killed himself? Everyone else knows the answer, because I said it a minute ago!"

"His sins."

"Wrong."

"His mother."

"Wrong."

"His sense of pride?"

"Eva Braun."

"See, I knew that."

"Mmmmmmhmmmmm."

"I just wanted to make sure you did."

"Right... because of these two, I'll pass out an assignment tomorrow to make sure you guys are actually learning."

"Seriously?" asked someone from the other side of the class.

Capricorn flicked Gemini on the arm. "This is your fault."

Gemini elbowed him. "No it's yours."

"You started it," whispered Capricorn.

"You're the one that started it."

"Nuh uh!"

"Mmmmhmmm!"

"Nope."

"Yes."

"Never."

"Always."

"Up."

"Down."

"What are we doing?"

"I'm just saying the opposite of what you say."

"Left."

"Right."

"Fun."

"History class."

"Blue."

"Orange."

"Hot."

"Capricorn."

"..."

"..."

"Cool."

"Capricorn."

"Awesome."

"Capricorn."

"Not sexy."

"Capricor- wait a minute."

Capricorn laughed out loud, causing the whole class to look at him.

"Since you're so interested in this class," the teacher walked over to Capricorn, grabbed his wrist, and pulled him to the front of the classroom. "You'll be my example. Okay so, imagine Capricorn is a soldier during the war..."

Libra was getting her book bag from her locker. It was time to go home.

"Hey." Virgo walked up to Libra. "Want to study at the library later?"

"I can't. Scorpio and I are going to the pet store. I'm buying a few goldfish."

"Aww. Name one after me."

Libra chuckled. "I'm not naming my fish big loser."

Virgo smirked and tickled Libra's chin.

A very ticklish Libra shrieked and jumped back while laughing.

"Virgo junior. Name one Virgo junior."

"I will when pigs fly."

"Is that a challenge?"

"It might be."

"Alright. Want to study later over FaceTime?"

"Sure. Bye." Libra hugged Virgo before walking away.

***

"I'll get some of these for Cheeto." Scorpio picked up a bag of cat treats.

Libra walked over to the fish section of the fish shop. There were several fish tanks placed on little shelves that were dug into the wall. "Which ones should I get?" She looked at a tank of fish swimming around.

Scorpio walked over and shrugged. "Pick that one."

"Which one?"

"The white one."

"Why?"

"Because white represents innocence and purity."

Libra gave Scorpio a look that said, really?

"I don't know, because it looks cool."

Libra put her face up to the glass. "They're all just swimming around, minding their own business."

"I mean, that's what fish do. Unless I didn't get the memo and they can fly now."

Libra chuckled and rolled her eyes. "Can you be serious for one minute? This is an important decision."

"So- wait never mind. I was about to make another genius comment."

"You mean smartass comment?"

"Same thing."

"Hi. How can I help you?" a worker approached them.

Libra smiled. "I want a fish!"

"Okay. Which one?"

"Hmm... I think I'm going to get two. No, three! Five! Four! Umm... I don't really know."

"Let's start with one or two," suggested Scorpio.

"I can't choose." Libra looked at the fish. Then something caught her eye. She turned around. "What about those fish on the table?"

On a little table, a bunch of beta fish swam around in small little cups.

"Those are beta fish." The worker motioned towards the fish. "They're aggressive fish, so if you want one they have to be kept separately, otherwise they'll kill each other."

"Looks like there's an animal version of Leo and Aries when they're mad," chuckled Scorpio.

Libra rolled her eyes. "I'm sure they're not that bad."

"One time Le-"

"No, I mean the fish. I'm sure the fish aren't that bad."  Libra looked at the beta fish. They were very colourful with long fins. "How much are they?"

"Depends. They're usually around seven dollars per fish."

"Is that good or bad?" asked Scorpio.

Libra shrugged. "Maybe I'll get a beta fish or two instead of goldfish."

"Just keep them away from Cheeto's reach."

Eventually, Libra picked out two beta fish, one red and one blue. She bought a tank for them that was like one small tank, except a piece of plastic separated the two fish.

***

Leo was lying next to Aries on the hospital bed.

"I'm so tired. I almost fell asleep in Geo."

Aries, who's ghost was sitting beside Leo, laughed. "Knowing you, you probably did doze off for a minute or two."

"If you can hear me, you're probably accusing me of actually falling asleep. I actually stayed awake throughout the whole class. I'm so sleep deprived."

"Stop worrying about me and sleep! Staying awake at night thinking about me won't make me wake up faster! Unless it will, but it probably won't."

"I'm getting lonely at the apartment. It always used to be so loud," Leo wiped a few tears away. "Now it's so quiet. Sometimes I blast some rock music, but it doesn't feel the same. I miss you... and I miss Sagittarius. I wish I never pushed her away."

"I can come home if you want."

Leo's head snapped up as she saw who was in the doorway.

"Leo? Are you crying?" Sagittarius ran over to the bed.

Leo sat up and froze in place, unsure of what to do. "I... uh... I'm allergic. It's an allergic reaction."

Sagittarius laughed. "That's such a lie." She pulled Leo in for a long, tight hug.

"I miss you guys so much," sobbed Leo.

"It's okay... it's okay... I'll come home if you want me to."

"I regret pushing you away. I just didn't know how to deal with my emotions."

"I understand. I've wanted to come home for a while now too."

Leo wiped a few more tears away. "Now all we need is Aries."

"That's your cue to miraculously wake up!" joked Sagittarius.

Aries laughed. "I would if I could."

"Do you think she can hear us?" asked Leo.

Sagittarius shrugged. "If you can, show us a sign!"

Aries looked around. She had no idea what to do. She tried to make something move, but her ghost couldn't physically pick anything up.

I'll make the heart monitor go up! Aries got up and started jumping around. Aww, it won't change? Stupid heart monitor!

  "She's only been in a coma for two weeks. Maybe she needs more time to recover," suggested Leo.

"Maybe. It's late, you should go home now."

"Sure. Want help bringing stuff out of your apartment?"

"I don't have a lot. I only have a suitcase worth of clothes, my phone, and that's about it."

"You never planned on staying away for long."

"Nope."

Leo chuckled. "Okay, then I'll meet you at home."

"Okay. Bye Aries! You can come home whenever you want too!"

"Bye!" Leo and Sagittarius left.

Aries sat on the bed. Now I'm getting jealous. I want to go hang out with them.
