Just Deserts

Aries: *Wanders downstairs* *Goes over to the fridge* Ooh sweet! Last cupcake is for me! *Reaches for it*

Libra: *Wanders in* Oh, hey, Aries, how's it- wait, stop!

Aries: *Freezes, the cupcake halfway to her mouth* Hm?

Libra: I was saving that for Capricorn! There's only one left!

Aries: Hold on, you can't 'save' cupcakes for people. It's first come, first serve.

Libra: Didn't you hear me last night? I said during dinner 'hey nobody eat the last cupcake, it's Capricorn's.'

Aries: Pfft, and you were expecting me to listen?

Libra: ...well, yeah...

Aries: *Pat's Libra's shoulder* It's fine, we all make mistakes. I'm gonna eat my cupcake now, cool?

Libra: What? No!

Saggy: *Walks in* Hey, what's all the fuss about?

Libra: Saggy! Weren't you there last night when I said I was saving the last cupcake?

Saggy: ...when was this?

Libra: *Sighs* never mind.

Taurus: *Walks in* Hi guys- wait, why is Aries about to eat my cupcake?

Aries Libra & Saggy: Your cupcake???

Saggy: Hold on, I was just coming down here to eat that.

Aries: I got here first!

Taurus: Really? Huh, I just kind of assumed that all the food in this house de facto belonged to me.

Gemini: *Walking in* That is... not at all how that works. What's all the fuss about?

Saggy: Aries took-

Libra: But it was mine in the first place-

Taurus: I'm really hungry-

Aries: I'm literally just trying to eat my cupcake, people.

Gemini: Wait, is this about the cupcakes I baked last week?

Saggy: Yeah.

Gemini: Last one right? Hand it over.

Aries: *Hugs plate* No!! My precious!!

Gemini: I'm the chef, right? So I get dibs?

All: No!

Gemini: Oh, come on! It's always been the rule!

Virgo: *Walks in* Why is everyone standing around?

*Everyone begins talking*

Virgo: *Holds up hands* I don't want to know. It's way too early for this. I'm just going to have some breakfast. *Opens the fridge* Hey, where did the last cupcake go?

Libra: Virgo, not you too!

Virgo: What? *Sees Aries with the cupcake* *Grumbles* Should have known.

Cancer: *Walks in* *Sees everyone* What's going on?

*Everyone begins talking*

Cancer: Ummm ooookay then. *Walks over to Aries* Hey Aries, wanna split the cupcake?

All: NO!

Cancer: ...

Cancer: Rude.

Pisces: *Walks in* Uhhhh what?

Cancer: They're all fighting over a cupcake, apparently.

Pisces: Oh, that's all? I have an easy solution.

All: *Eagrely* What??

Pisces: I'll eat it!

All: NO!!!

Capricorn: *Walks in, rubbing his eyes* What is everyone yelling about?

All: *Start talking really fast*

Capricorn: Wait, I called dibs on that for Libra last night.

Libra: Wait, what?

Capricorn: Weren't you listening?

Aries: HAH!

Aquarius: *Runs in* Guys, I have great news!

Gemini: Ooh, what?

Aquarius: I have a prototype for an invention that should eliminate the need for shoelaces!

Gemini: Awesome!

Aquarius: All I need to complete the design are two tanks of plutonium, and a cupcake. *Looks at Aries* I'll be needing that.

All: NO!!!!!!!!!!

Scorpio: *Walks in* Hey losers.

Aries: Hey nutjob.

Scorpio: Is that my cupcake?

Gemini: Hold on, you don't even live here-

Aries: *Snatches cupcake away* HOIL NAW

Scorpio: Look, we all know the cupcake is mine, so-

Saggy: Wait, what are you talking abou-

Virgo: -just calm down please-

Cancer: -feeling very attacked right now-

Taurus: -I'm hungry-

Leo: *Walks into the room* Wait, what is Aries doing with my-

Aries: NO! WE DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT HOW YOU WERE SAVING IT FOR LATER OR HOW YOU WERE COMING DOWN FOR IT NOW, OR HOW YOU NEED IT FOR YOUR FISH TANK OR HOW IT'S GOING TO MAGICALLY CURE ALL CANCERS, I WAS HERE FIRST AND WITH THE POWER INVESTED IN MY BY THE GODS OF DIBS I CLAIM ALL RIGHT TO THIS BEAUTIFUL OBJECT NOW AND FOREVER!

Leo: ...

Aries: Am I clear?

Leo: ...I guess you can have my chair then...?

Virgo: Okay, you know what? This has gone to far. There are twelve of us who want the cupcake, and only one of us can actually have it. We need to decide reasonably and logically who can get the cupcake.

Saggy: Yeah, no.

Virgo: *Loudly* OR I will personally throw it in the garbage right now.

All: ...

Virgo: Am I clear?

All: ...yes

Virgo: Good. Can everyone say why they need the cupcake?

Taurus: I deserve the cupcake because all the food in this house is mine.

Libra: I deserve the cupcake because I was going to give it to Capricorn.

Aquarius: I deserve the cupcake because SCIENCE

Capricorn: I deserve the cupcake because I was going to give it to Libra.

Aries: I deserve the cupcake because I got here first.

Saggy: I deserve the cupcake because I've been planning on eating it since last night.

Cancer: I deserve the cupcake because I came down here to eat it anyways.

Scorpio: You are all losers and I want my cupcake.

Gemini: I deserve the cupcake because I baked them.

Pisces: I deserve the cupcake because my eating it would be a valid method of resolving the conflict.

Leo: I have no valid claim to the cupcake and have no idea what is going on...?

Aries: Hmmm everyone has convincing arguments

Aquarius: Indeed, how are we to solve this conundrum?

Saggy: I have an idea!!

Libra: Does it involve water guns?

Saggy: ...yes

Libra: *Sigh* Any other ideas?

Gemini: Hey, why don't we just have a race to see who gets it?

Libra: Wait, you're only saying that because you're fast.

Gemini: Uhhh, yeah?

Virgo: Actually, Gemini may have a point. We just need a method of resolving the conflict that gets this situation over with with no broken limbs. Who's good with a race?

*Everyone mutters but no one outright disagrees*

Virgo: Okay, great, let's just get this over with.

Saggy: Yall are going down!!!

Gemini: *Shoving* No, you're in- *Trips* *Pulls Saggy down with him*

Libra: *Running* -you drop out, I've got it!

Capricorn: *Running* But then you'll give it- oh wait, everyone's ahead of us.

Capricorn: Wanna go eat pancakes?

Libra: Alright, sure. *They leave*

Aquarius: *Falls out of the sky onto Leo and Scorpio* Success! *Looks around* Did I win?

Aries: Nah dude the race ended like two hours ago.

Aquarius: Oh. That's too bad. *Helps Leo up*

Aries: How much do you want for the cupcake? I deal in cash, donuts, and stolen chess pieces.

Leo: *Strokes his chin evilly* You know what, I'm not that hungry anyways... I will give the cupcake to whoever can profess their admiration for me the most.

Virgo: *Facepalms*

Aries: Leo, you are the light of my life and the entire reason for my existence.

Aquarius: Leo, you are almost as precious to me as duct tape.

Scorpio: Leo, you're annoying and lame and I don't really like you

Leo: Alright, well, I think the clear winner here is.... ARIES!!

Aries: AYYYY *Runs off to eat the cupcake*

Aquarius: *Fakes crying* Fine, I see how it is! I poor my heart and soul out to you, and this is what I get!

Virgo: Okay, I am officially done with this conversation. *Leaves*

Aquarius: *Turns to Leo* Hey wanna go inside and play video games?

Leo: Sure *They go inside*
