The Beach Part Three: Dag is definitely a real thing
Gemini rubbed his hands together. "So... as things stand, our intrepid hero Gemini has survived horrible dangers including group chat kicking wars, hot dog eating contests, an extremely ugly sand-thing, and Aquarius's horrifying face. Now he must face his most difficult challenge yet: A splashing war against bitter enemies who were once his friends. Stay tuned for this episode of...The Zodibros!"
Capricorn stared at Gemini. "Are you narrating your life?"
Gemini stuck his tongue out. "Dramatic recap. There's a difference."
"Okay," shrugged Capricorn. "Just never say the word "Zodibros" within my earshot again."
"Wait," blinked Libra. "Did you say splashing war? I don't remember agreeing to that."
"Oh, right, that hasn't happened yet," remembered Gemini before jumping on Aquarius and dunking him underwater.
"Okay, I'm swimming over here," pointed Virgo, walking away as Aries and Saggy also jumped on Aquarius. Libra and Capricorn followed, while Taurus Cancer and Pisces started wave surfing (which Cancer and Pisces were weirdly good at).
"Dude how are you so good at this?" asked Taurus as she got pounded by a wave into the ground.
"Natural talent," winked Pisces.
Cancer laughed. "You're letting go with your feet to early, you need to wait until the wave is practically under you."
"I think I'm too short for this," said Taurus. Suddenly she started getting taller and she realized Gemini was picking her up. "Oh hey dude, weren't you bullying Aquarius?"
Gemini shrugged. "I was but then we had a really cool idea."
Pisces looked at him warily. "An actually really cool idea, or one of your really cool ideas?"
"Saggy and Aries like it too, so-"
"That proves nothing."
Another wave crashed over them and Gemini helped Taurus ride it, and it kind of worked I guess? "No an actual good idea. We're going to prank Virgo Libra and Capricorn but swimming under them and jumping out."
"Would that work?" asked Cancer skeptically.
"YAH!" screamed Saggy jumping out of the water at Cancer, and Cancer screamed.
"Okay, fair," acknowledged Cancer.
"Are you guys in?" grinned Gemini.
"Dude, I am in," said Taurus after she got up from being pounded by another wave she tried to ride.
"Sure," shrugged Pisces, "I like swimming." Aquarius jumped out of the water at him and he screamed.
They had to put their plans on hold for a minute while Aries ran back to get her goggles, but once she returned they all stealthily submerged in the water and swam over to Virgo Libra and Capricorn. Once they were in sight, everyone jumped out while shrieking. Libra tripped backwards into the ocean, Capricorn said a word that would be censored on BBC, and Virgo... was completely unaffected.
"Why are you like this?" complained Saggy.
"I just don't scare easily," shrugged Virgo.
Libra picked herself out of the water, spluttering. "You- guys-" she started making strangling motinos with her hands.
Pisces looked around. "Hey, has anyone seen Aries?"
Saggy sighed dramatically. "Did she drown again?"
"YAHHH!" screamed Aries jumping out of the water. Taurus and Libra tripped into the ocean, Gemini Cancer Aquarius and Pisces screamed, Saggy and Capricorn swore heavily, and Virgo... was still completely unaffected.
"Stupid virgin," grumbled Aries.
"You can give it up Aries, you're not going to scare me," said Virgo, crossing his arms.
Aries wagged her finger at him. "That's what Saggy said right before I knocked her socks off."
Saggy cleared her throat. "Uh, Aries, you "knocked" my socks off with one of those cheap mechanical claws."
"Details."
***
A few hours later, everyone had had lunch and was now hanging around. Cancer Pisces Taurus Libra and Virgo were wave riding, Gemini Aries Aquarius and Saggy were chilling on the beach, Leo and Scorpio were still arm wrestling, and Capricorn was taking a nap.
"Okay, so what do you guys want to do?" asked Saggy.
"We could wave ride in a bit, but we already did a bunch of that earlier," said Gemini.
"We could go shark riding," suggested Aries.
"We could sacrifice Aries to a shark," suggested Aquarius.
"We could all hold Aquarius underwater again," suggested Aries.
"We could punch Aries and Aquarius until they stop being annoying," suggested Saggy.
"Yeah, no that's never going to happen," smirked Gemini.
"We could play dag," suggested Saggy.
Aries glanced at her. "What's that?"
"It's like tag," said Saggy, "But the people who are playing race to tag someone who isn't playing instead."
Gemini peered at her suspiciously. "Did you just make this up?"
"Maybe I didn't."
"I'll call first," said Saggy. "First one to tag this person and get back here the fastest wins. And I choose... Pisces." The three zodiacs sprinted over towards Pisces.
Pisces took one look at Aries Gemini and Aquarius running towards him and immediately sprinted for it. "Why are you chasing me?!?"
"Stop moving!" complained Aries, the shortest, and having trouble moving among the waves. Eventually Gemini was the first to tag Pisces because Aries tackled Aquarius by mistake, and the three sprinted back towards Saggy. Taurus Cancer Libra and Virgo just sat there.
"Does anyone have any idea what they're doing?" asked Libra after a moment's silence.
"Maybe they're done?" offered Cancer.
"Yeah, probably," shrugged Taurus. "Okay, I am riding this wave." She caught the wave correctly (she'd been practcing a lot) and right around when it ended Aries Saggy and Aquarius jumped on top of her and began running back to Gemini.
"Okay what the heck are they doing?" said Virgo, squinting over, as Cancer helped Taurus out of the water.
"What are they doing?" asked Libra.
"Okay, they're talking... Aquarius just yelled something and now the other three are running over to Leo... now they're, uh, hitting Leo, he looks annoyed, and now they're running back to Aquarius. They're talking, Aries yelled something... they're coming over here again..."
"Run!" screamed Pisces and began swimming away. This time Gemini Saggy and Aquarius tackled Virgo and ran back. Libra pulled a spluttering Virgo out of the ocean.
"The next time they do that, we charge them," said Libra. "Okay?"
This time Gemini was the one who stayed behind, so when Aries Saggy and Aquarius started running over, Taurus Cancer Virgo Libra and Pisces started yelling and running at them, waving their arms. Aries Saggy and Aquarius immediately u-turned and ran back to Gemini who was facepalming heavily.
"Think it worked?" asked Taurus.
"Hard to say," squinted Cancer.
Saggy called another name, and everyone ran towards Capricorn. "Oh no..." muttered Libra. They hit Capricorn, who immediately woke up and began yelling and chasing them everywhere. "They really should have seen that coming," sighed Libra.
A little while later Capricorn had been coerced into calming down and the ten of the had decided to work together to build one giant sand castle. Pisces and Cancer were in charge of design, Taurus Virgo Libra and Capricorn were focusing on decoration, and Aries Gemini Saggy and Aquarius had been moved to the moat where they could do the least harm.
The castle was actually getting pretty tall. "This is a freakishly good sandcastle," said Gemini.
"I can't undersand how this happened," said Aquarius.
"Shore you can't," frowned Saggy.
"It's so good we'll be able to shell it for money," agreed Cancer.
"Umm... insert something beach-related here," said Pisces, and then squinted at the ocean. "Hey is that a shark fin?"
"Nice try Pisces," laughed Cancer.
"No, I'm being serious," pointed Pisces, and Cancer looked- and there was something fin-like doing circles out in the ocean.
"Imma ride it!" said Aries, running into the water.
Virgo's eyes widened. "Aries, NO!" He chased after her.
Saggy also started to chase after her. "Aries, YES!"
"Ari-" began Aquarius.
"YOU CHEATED!" screamed a voice from the towels, and everyone turned around. "YOU CHEATING LITTLE LION—" Scorpio was screaming at Leo who was lying on the ground laughing hysterically.
"Wait, Leo won?" someone said.
"I'M GOING TO FIND OUT HOW YOU CHEATED YOU SNEAKY LITTLE—"
"Can't—breathe—" gasped Leo, holding his sides.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU—"
"Weak little Scorpion," said Leo sticking his tongue out, still laughing too hard to stand.
"HOW DARE YOU—" Scorpio immediately tackled Leo to the ground.
By this point the others had arrived to the scene where Leo and Scorpio were beating each other up. Libra and Cancer pulled them apart. "Okay guys... it's literally just an arm wrestling match."
"A five hour arm wrestling match," said Aquarius.
"He cheated," hissed Scorpio.
Leo smirked. "You just couldn't handle my fabulousity."
"I'm going to kill you-"
"Like you even could."
"I'll murder you in your frigging sleep."
"Because you just can't take me when I'm awake."
"ARE YOU ASKING FOR A REMATCH YOU FRIGGING LION—"
"Nope," said Libra dragging Scorpio away from Leo while Cancer restrained Leo.
"What are Aries Virgo and Saggy doing with that lifeguard?" asked Pisces, and everyone turned to look, including Scorpio.
"Hi!" waved Aries. "I got kicked off of the beach for riding a shark!"
"What?!?"
"And I got kicked out for standing nearby," added Saggy.
"Sir, I had nothing to do with this," Virgo was saying to the lifeguard.
The lifeguard shook his head. "I'm sorry, but you three will need to leave."
"Alright," sighed Libra. "We've been here a while, we can go home now anyways." Everyone nodded, they were tired too.
As they were packing up, Saggy said "Hey why does my face hurt?"
Libra took one look at Saggy and sighed. "Saggy... you didn't put on any sunscreen?"
"Uh, no?"
"Pfft, Saggy's all red," snickered Aries.
"Aries Leo and Aquarius have all been kicked out of my car," said Capricorn, climbing into it.
"Virgo, you're with me," said Libra.
"Who wants to be in my car?" asked Saggy.
"Me!" yelled Aries Gemini Leo and Aquarius.
"I mean someone has to go with another car," frowned Saggy.
Aries sighed dramatically. "Alright, fine, I'll go with Libra and Virgo."
Virgo, who was halfway into the car, immediately started climbing out. Libra shoved him back in.
Cancer grabbed Taurus and Pisces. "We're with Capricorn."
Scorpio stared suspiciously at Virgo Libra and Aries. "It could be worse."
"That's me she's talking about," smirked Leo.
"SHUT UP LOSER!"
"Alright fun car, we're scooting." Saggy started driving away while Gemini was still trying to get the door shut. One by one, the cars all drove off.
Epilogue: Libra and Capricorn's cars got home safely and on time, but Saggy's car decided to go on an "adventure". They all came back the next morning covered head to toe in mud and Saggy had had her lisence revoked and owed speeding tickets in six different states. This was judged to be a good adventure.
