" Lib, wanna come to the store with me and Gem?" Pisces asked the next morning. 

" Sure. Where are we going?"

" Bring a lot of money," Pisces winked at her. 

" Fine," Libra groaned. " But I'm not letting you burn a hole in my pocket this time, cross my fingers."

" Alright," Pisces turned around in her swivel chair and continued eating. 

" Where's Aries?" Leo called to us, throwing on a light jacket. 

" Idk," Cancer shrugged. " He was gone when I went into his room this morning."

" Oh," Leo glared at her. " He was supposed to work out in the weight room with me this morning, and he didn't show up." 

" Yeah, and where's Taurus?" Gem asked. 

Everyone shrugged. " Maybe with Virgo?"

" No, she's collecting firewood with Scorpio. Heard it's supposed to get colder tonight."

" Then where are they?" Sag asked.

" Together, maybe?" Pisces offered, and immediatly regretted it. 

" No, they better not be," Cancer gritted her teeth. She turned to face Pisces. " Thanks a LOT, Pi, that made me feel a whole lot better."

" Can, I'm sorry!" Pisces protested. " I'm sure Aries would never cheat on you."

Cancer narrowed her eyes. " You sure? Aries is always going around doing things he knows he shouldn't be doing."

" Then how come you like him?" Scorpio grumbled, coming inside just in time to hear Cancer's comment. 

" Because he's sweet, and loyal, and will doing anything to make me feel better!"

" Pardon me?" Scorpio smirked. 

Libra took a bite of a bagel. " Doesn't sound like Aries to me. Cance, come shopping with us. It'll take your mind off of all of this." 

Cancer shrugged. " Got nothing better to do."

An hour later, all the girls were at Kohl's, excluding Taurus. The boys had stayed home, apparently having a mario kart marathon or something like that. 

" Oooh, look at this dress!" Libra posed in a model style while Gemini whipped out her phone and took a few pics.

" Nah, Lib, I think you'd look cuter in this one!" Virgo urged her friend over to a different dress, a black one with sunflowers all over it.

" Vi, I think YOU'D look cute on this dress," Libra took the dress off it's hanger and  placed it in Virgo's arms.

" B-b-but Lib, I look terrible in dresses!"

" No, you do not," Libra told her firmly. " And if you will not get this dress, I will get it for you!"

" Yeah, Scorp'll think you're hot in it," Gemini winked at her friend.

Virgo blushed. " No he won't! Guys, don't give it to me, please!"

" Too late," Libra took the dress from Virgo. " I'm paying for it."

Suddenly Virgo put a finger to her lips. " Shhhh, listen."

The girls listened, silently gasping as they heard two familiar voices. 

" Aries, you think that I'll look good in this jumper?" Taurus asked. Silently the friends crept forward to peer at their other friends. 

" Yeah, whatever. Just get it! Can we go back to the mountain house, please?" 

" After we stop at Macy's, okay?"

" Taurus," Aries whined. " I wanna play mario kart with the boys!"

" You'll do that when we get back!" Taurus barked at him. The two walked off towards the checkout.

The girls slowly went back to their shopping, shocked at what they had discovered. Cancer slumped against a tray of shirts and began silently crying.

" Cance, I'm sooo sorry," Pisces hugged her friend. " None of us knew that Aries was with Taurus."

" He's cheating on me!" Cancer sobbed. " I can't believe it. I can't. Why would they both do this to me?"

" I think Aries needs a good kick in his behind. Listen, I've got an idea." Gemini pulled out her phone, punched a few numbers, and put the phone to her ear.

" Aries? No actually we're shopping. You weren't at the house before we left. Where are you?"

There was pause and the girls were sure Aries was making up an excuse.

" Well, I'm there right now, playing mario kart-listen, I gotta go. See you guys later! Oh, and say hi to Cancer for me! B-"

" One sec, Aries," Gem growled at him. She handed the phone to Cancer.

" Why? WHY Aries?" Cancer sobbed into the phone. Without waiting for a response, she hung up.

                                                                               ✧✧✧✧✧✧

" So, should we eat at this cafe or go to the other resturaunt?" Gemini asked the others. 

" That-wait, is that the boys?" Virgo pointed to a group of teenage boys coming their way.

" Well, that does look like Aqua, but I doubt it's-wait, it is them! That's Aqua, and Scorp, and Leo! Hey they joined us!" Gem exclaimed excitedly.

" Hey, girlies!" Leo crowed at them. 

" Hi!" Libra blushed as she greeted him.

" We were going to choose a place to eat. What's your guy's preference?" Virgo asked the boys, saving Libra from an embarrassment. 

" Hmmm, whichever one's not busy," Sag mumbled as he wrapped his arms around Pisces waist.

" Hey, stoppit!" Cancer scolded the two lovebirds as people started to stare.

" Ooops," Pisces blushed.

" I say we go to that one. The food looks good!" Capricorn pointed to the cafe on the right.

" I hope we aren't waiting forever, I'm starved," Leo grumbled as they walked to the cafe.

" Table for ten?" The waiter asked. 

" Yeah," Virgo replied as they sat down. 

" It'll be a few minutes and then I'll come back and take your orders. Drinks?" The waiter asked.

Everyone ordered water,  Leo and Sag wanted root beer, but Virgo made them order water.

" MAKE IT FAST!" Leo hollered after the waiter went into the kitchen.

All the friends snickered as everyone in the cafe looked at them curiously.

" So, Taurus and Aries not back yet?" Cancer asked the boys, playing with the straw in her water.

" Nope," Leo responded.

" I'm sorry, Cance," Capricorn told the girl sympathetically.

" It's fine," She mumbled. " I just don't know why my boy friend and best friend would cheat on me."

Half and hour later, their food arrived, and everyone ate as quickly as they could so they could go shopping.

" Hey Cancer, you're birthdays coming up!" Virgo told her friend excitedly.

Cancer paled. " You forgot about it?"

But she had no reason to worry as Virgo shook her head. " Of course not! I would never forget about my friends birthday! C'mon, lets go shopping!"

The friends took two cars to Target. As soon as they got in the store, Leo went behind Libra and picked her up!

" Leo!" Libra hissed at him. " Put me down!"

" No!" He grinned at her.

So the girl lay limp in the boys arms, which she found were quite comforting and warm.

" I SHIP IT!" Gemini screamed so loud, the whole store could hear it.

" Shhhh!" A worker told her. Then they turned to Leo. " You better put that girl down, it's not allowed in the store."

Reluctantly, Leo put Libra down. As the worker turned away, he said, " Excuse me?"

The worker turned around again. Her name tag read Maggie.

" Yeah?"

" Well, Maggie. I was wondering if the store allowed kissing."

All of the friends groaned and mentally slapped Leo. 

Maggie pursed her lips and started talking. " Young man-" But she never got to finish.

" And we're outta here!" Leo yelled at her, and ran away, the friends following him.

They landed in the bedding aisle. " Ooooh, soft!" Cancer yelped excitedly. She climbed up onto the top shelf and snuggled it.

" Cancer, get down from there!" Virgo hissed at her friend. " You're violating store rules!"

Her friend shrugged and buried herself deeper in the bedding. " Who cares! Leo asked about kissing in the store, so what could be worse?"

Virgo then facepalmed.

Just then, ANOTHER worker came into the aisle. His name tag read Dan.

" GET DOWN FROM THERE, YOUNG LADY!" He hollered at Cancer. 

" I'm down, I'm down," She mumbled crossly as she got down.

" Kids these days," Dan muttered as he walked down the aisle. 

The friends made their way to the electronics. 

" I need a new phone," Libra thought to herself out loud as she surveyed the phones.

Just then, Sag accidentally ran into Leo, who ran into Libra, who's hand accidentally pushed the phone, and they all fell to the floor. The whole store was silent as they awaited the shattering of glass.

They heard some.

" OH MY GOSH!" Libra screamed, bolting up and running over to the phone. It wasn't shattered, but there were some cracks. 

" I am SO sorry!" She turned to the worker, who was glaring at her. " Please be more careful in the future," He told her.

" Look at me!" Capricorn yelled. He was standing on top of two shelves, his legs spread apart in an almost splits. 

Everybody face palmed. 

Virgo marched over to him, quite mad with what her friends were doing. " Get down here, you-you-you good for nothing piece of fried chicken!" 

" Mmmm, that sounds delicious!" Capricorn licked his lips, and Virgo sighed. " Just get down here, Cap, or you'll get us in more trouble!"

Cap sighed. " We're already in trouble, Vi, so why don't we make some more? Yeehaw!" With that word, he jumped onto one side of the aisle as a couple past, looking at him curiously.

Virgo mumbled under her breath. " Great."

                                                                      ✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧

" They're not here," Taurus shut the door. She turned to look at Aries. " They prob went out or something. Should we wait here or go find them?"

" Go find them," Aries had a distant look in his eyes. Taurus guessed he was probably thinking about Cancer. The whole way home he felt terrible for lying and sneaking out and everything! But her birthday WAS coming up, and he wanted to make it special. 

" Cance'll forgive you. After her birthday." Taurus gently squeezed his arm. Aries sighed. " Yeah, after she punches my face and makes it black and blue.

Taurus laughed lightly. " Cancer's too sweet to do a thing like that."

Aries didn't really believe Taurus. " Get in the truck. I have a feeling where they might be."

                                                                       ✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧

Libra was giggling like a kid with a sugar high. She and her friends were practically destroying Target, and she was having fun!

" Leo!" She sang in a high, sing-songy voice. The golden haired boy ran over to her. Libra got ready, pull a tube of silver glitter off the shelf, and hiding it behind her back. 

" What is it, Lib." Leo panted. She whipped the tube of glitter out from behind her back, uncapped it like lightning, and poured it all over Leo's hair, and clothes. Might I add it was a one gallon tube of glitter?

" LIBRA!" Leo screamed. His fists clenched. 

Libra slowly inched away. " Sorry?"

" YOU'RE NOT SORRY!" Leo roared. 

Libra backed up until she fell into someone. " Libra?"

Wait, that sounded like Aries. She turned, and indeed, it was him, the cheater.

" Idiot!" She screamed at him. " What are you doing here?"

" Saving you guys from being sent to jail by the Target workers!" He pointed to where Taurus was helping Virgo explain to the workers that they were just high schoolers on a sugar high.

" C'mon."

" Aries." Cancer walked towards her boyfriend. 

" Cance."

" Don't call me that. You cheated on me, and I'm not your girlfriend anymore. Have a nice life with Taurus."

Without giving Aries the chance to reply, Cancer flipped her hair and walked away.

Ten minutes later, the whole group was banned from Target.
