A week later, school was let out. The group headed to the park for some excitement, but not without a complaint from Aries that the park was boring and nothing interesting will happen unless someone tripps over a duck. Capricorn tried to explain that it would be unfair to ducks if some stupid idiot tripped over them. Gemini tried to flirt again, but Pisces decided that she had enough stupidity for the hour and shoved Aries towards the street.

"Hey Sagittarius, what did you say earlier about that Ray-Ray dude again?" Cancer asked once they got to the park.
Sagittarius rolled his eyes, "Ugh, stupid Ray-ray stabbed me in the back of my neck with a broken pencil! Now normally, the teacher would have that kid in the principle's office in a split, but today we had a substitute teacher. That Mr. Tomato dude."
Virgo rolled her eyes, "That Mr. Tomato. Too busy telling stories about his tomato farm to discipline students!" She sighed.
Aries walked over to the group, "Hello, I was wondering, does anyone have ten more cents on them? Im trying to get a soda from that machine..." She said.
"I'll give you a quarter if you give me a kiss-" Gemini started, but Aries kicked him on his leg before he could finish.
Leo took a dime from his pocket and tossed it to Aries, "Here you go, exact change." He said.
Aries caught the dime and smiled, "Thanks Leo!" She said and walked back to a soda machine.

The group continued to walk through the park. "Hey Taurus, you're the oldest, right? Do you think you can get a car?" Aries asked.
"What do you mean? You're sixteen, right? And you have a drivers license, why should I be the one to buy the car?" He said.
Aries shrugged, "I dunno, it was just a question." She said.
Virgo poked Aries on the arm, which felt more like a punch, "Hey person, look at that!" She said and pointed. There was a man with a white van surrounded by a red rope. "Lets go look!" Virgo said, and the group headed over to him.

"One day, one price, you have a chance for this to be yours!" The man said, looking at passing people with desperate hope. He sighed and looked at the ground and kicked a rock, but started to hop on his one leg gasping as he held his foot in pain.
Aries walked up behind him, "Hello, idiot! That was smart!" She said in his ear, a bit on the loud side.
The man jumped and turned around, then returned to his confident sales man self. "Why, hello there! Im Devin, and Im holding a raffle for this van here!" He said, and winked. Gemini glared at him for a moment, but said nothing. "Would you like to purchase a chance to win this beauty?" He said as he faced the van.
Aries thought for a moment, "How many seats does it have?" She asked.
Devin looked stupid for a moment, then started to count the seats in the van, then turned back to Aries confidently, "Twelve seats, two in the front, three in the second and third rows, and four in the back. It also has a disk slot for music, and there is also a radio. There are enough speakers for everyone to get the same sound of music." He said.

Aries looked awed, "Hey people, this is exactly what we've been looking for!" She said excitedly and formed a group circle.
"I know! Its perfect!" Cancer said.
"And I can jazz out no matter where I end up!" Capricorn added.
"Eh, I don't know, i don't really trust this guy. Who knows, there could be explosives in there." Gemini said, uncomfortable for once.
Aries chuckled, "Oh, smart guy here thinks he can get a better offer. Well where else can we get something like this? And besides, this guy seems to be a normal stupid sales man. He wouldnt think of placing dynamite in a van."
Gemini sighed with annoyance, "Fine, lets do it." He said reluctantly.

Aries walked up to Devin, "It sounds great! How much are the tickets?" She asked.
He grinned, "Each ticket is fifteen bucks! Pretty good deal for a van raffle I'll say!" He said cheerfully.
Gemini rolled his eyes, "Well, where did you get this van in the first place?" He said.
"I got it from a friend, who, well, passed away." He said, caught a bit off guard.
Gemini's widened his eyes, "Oh, well, never mind. Ill buy two." He said awkwardly reluctant.

The rest of the group paid for one or two tickets. Devin told them that the winning ticket will be picked at the end of the day. They spent most of their time wandering around the park. Aries went on ahead chasing some ducks, while Cancer was trying to stop her. Gemini dared Capricorn that she couldn't climb a tree, but she ended up getting stuck. Taurus climbed up to save her, and Virgo and Pisces decided that it was a good idea to push Sagittarius into the river. He panicked and splashed around, but he did not realize that he was in the shallow part until Virgo had her cell phone out saying, "Im filming!" Pisces helped Sagittarius out of the river, and he spent the next hour or so in the corner of the bathroom, throwing a fit. The rest of the group started to set up a picnic for the gang.

About a half hour later, everyone joined up at the table for food. Aquarius, Leo, Libra and Scorpio got turkey sandwiches, soda, oranges, watermelon, cheese and chocolate. As everyone settled down to eat, Libra nudged Scorpio and nodded towards a guy by a tree, who was tossing pineapple slices to ducks. "Look at Mr. Ray-ray over there." Libra muttered.
Aries glared at the dude, then stood on the table and waved yelling, "HEY RAY-RAY COME OVER HERE I HAVE TO KICK YOUR BUTT FOR WHAT YOU DID-" she was interrupted when Gemini pulled her down by her elbows.
"What are you doing you butter-brain?" He said into her ear.
Aries chuckled, "Im serving justice, that's what." She said.
Gemini shook his head, "Well if you do it that way you'll end up in the hospital."
"Not if I'm the one who serves it!" Aries said. Gemini shook his head and smiled, but said nothing more.

As the sun started to set, the group headed back to Devin for the raffle. As Devin picked the ticket from the container, Sagittarius muttered, "Now why does he have to pick, isn't it obvious that we are the ones who are gunna get it? No one else bought a ticket." Aries slapped him, but he just stormed away, arms crossed.
Pisces giggled and nudged Virgo, "Looks like he's still upset, isnt he?" She said quietly. Virgo smiled and nodded, and turned her attention back to Devin.
He pulled out a ticket and read the name, "It looks like our lucky winner is someone named Aquarius!" He said. Aquarius looked up and smiled, walking up to Devin. He handed the keys to Aquarius. "Take care of that, alright?" He said.
Aquarius nodded, "Sure thing!"
Devin looked after the departing group, and tapped Aries on the shoulder, who was tying her shoe. "Hey Aries, you seem like a pretty cool person, and I was wondering if we could, you know, hang out?" He asked.
Aries looked up at him and smiled, "I feel the same thing!"
"Really?!" Devin gasped.
Aries stood up, "NOPE!" She said and walked away.
