Virgo was walking around outside. Ha! Those losers are all in the house. I'm safe out here! Virgo sat back in one of the long chairs that leaned back. Well I can relax because I'll hear if someone's coming. Then Virgo leaned back and enjoyed the view. The snow was almost all melted and the sun was out today. Virgo closed his eyes and started daydreaming.

Virgo was so caught up in his daydreaming that he didn't notice when someone lifted the chair he was in until they tossed him in the pool. Virgo felt his body submerge in the cool water. It felt like a bunch of icy needles were pricking his skin. Virgo swam up to the surface and pulled himself out of the water. His teeth were clattering and he took off his wet shirt.

"You look like you're cold." Virgo looked up to see Scorpio smiling at him.

"Wh-what d-do y-you want?" asked Virgo.

"We need more people to join our pranks. Also we have warm blankets and hot chocolate." Scorpio took a sip of her hot chocolate and wrapped a fuzzy blanket around herself.

Aquarius and Taurus were on the hammock floor. They were lying down watching a movie. Taurus leaned against Aquarius and Aquarius had his arm around Taurus.

"I'm so comfy right here I can almost fall asleep," said Taurus.

"But then you'll miss the movie," said Aquarius.

"It's almost over anyways," said Taurus.

"If you fall asleep the troublemakers will get you," said Aquarius.

"Pssst! Aquarbro!" Aquarius looked up to see Virgo standing by the elevator.

"What? Can't you see we're busy?" asked Aquarius.

"What do you want?" asked Taurus.

"I need to talk to Aquarius for a second. It's private," said Virgo. Then Aquarius kissed Taurus and got up. He walked over to Virgo.

"What?" asked Aquarius.

"Want to start pranking?" whispered Virgo.

"No thanks. I'm perfectly fine watching a movie with my girlfriend," said Aquarius.

Virgo crossed his arms. "We thought you'd say that."

"W-we?" asked Aquarius. Then Scorpio walked or of the elevator. She put her hand over Aquarius' mouth and together, Virgo and Scorpio dragged Aquarius over to the slide that led to the living room.

"Aqua? Come back here. I'm getting cold. I need your warmth," said Taurus. Then she opened her eyes and saw that Aquarius was gone.

"AQUA? GUYS BEING MY AQUARIUS BACK RIGHT NOW!" demanded Taurus.

"Coming right up!" then a life sized plushie of Aquarius flew out of the slide.

"Leo? Where did you even get this?" asked Taurus. There was no reply. Taurus sighed and wrapped the plush Aquarius' arms around her.

***

Aquarius slid down the slide and landed in a net which closed as soon as he made contact with it. A few seconds later Scorpio and Virgo landed beside him. 

"What's the meaning of this?" demanded Aquarius.

"Will you join us?" asked Scorpio.

"No! I'm going back upstairs to finish my movie!" replied Aquarius.

"We have Libby," whispered Virgo.

"So?" asked Aquarius.

"Hmm... come with us and we'll let you prank Libby yourself," said Scorpio.

"Promise?" asked Aquarius.

"We promise!" replied Virgo and Scorpio at the same time.

***

Capricorn and Libra were in the music room.

"We should be safe in here," said Capricorn as she locked the door. Then she sat down on a sofa. Libra sat down beside her.

"What are we going to do to pass time?" asked Libra.

"Hmm..." then Capricorn picked up a tambourine and stared playing.

"Wait! They'll hear the music and know we're here!" said Libra.

"This room is soundproof, remember?" asked Capricorn.

"Oh yeah!" Then Capricorn got up and started dancing around while playing the tambourine. Libra picked up his guitar and started playing it. Then Capricorn put down the tambourine and picked up her guitar and played along.

After a while Libra put down his guitar and leaned closer to Capricorn. Capricorn put her guitar down and wrapped her arms around Libra.

"I love you so much," said Libra.

"I love you too," replied Capricorn. Then they kissed. They were about to kiss again when they heard someone trying to unlock the door.

"What the hell? It's locked!" hissed Sagittarius.

"That means they're in there!" said Aries.

"How are you guys going to get us now?" asked Capricorn.

"There's no way they're getting in here," said Libra. Then they heard whispering. Libra and Capricorn walked closer to the door so they could eavesdrop. They could only hear bits and pieces of their conversation.

"... pick the lock..."

"... Gemini might have..."

"... she knows... pick... lock?"

"... maybe..."

"There... is..."

"Finally!"

"What's going on?"

"SHHHHHH!" Then they heard the doorknob turning.

"Hide!" said Capricorn. Capricorn pulled out a shelf full of small instruments and hid behind it. Libra hid behind the drums. The door swung open.

"Good thing I always keep a spare hair pin in case I need to pick a lock," whispered Gemini.

"We only came for Libra," announced Sagittarius. Then Sagittarius and Aries searched the room while Gemini guarded the door. All of the sudden a bunch of wind swirled around Aries, Sagittarius and Gemini trapping them. Libra got up and pushed Gemini out of the way before she could use her powers to get rid of the wind bubble around her. Libra was almost at the elevator when a ring of fire burnt around him.

"You were so close! But that's not good enough... is it?" Leo walked in front of Libra.

"What do you want?" asked Libra.

Leo smirked. "You're coming with us."

***

Cancer and Pisces were hiding on the roof.

"I'm getting hungry," said Cancer.

"Try to tough it out for as long as you can. We have to be very careful when we go downstairs for snack breaks," explained Pisces.

"We're not going to be up here all day are we?" asked Cancer.

"No. Just until they catch some of the trouble makers," said Pisces.

"Okay," said Cancer. Then someone threw a chocolate bar on the roof. Cancer and Pisces jumped back.

"Chocolate!" said Cancer.

"Don't go for it Cancer! It's a trap!" said Pisces.

"But... how?" asked Cancer.

"I don't know but it just is," said Pisces.

"Or maybe an angel saw me suffering and dropped a chocolate bar down from heaven," said Cancer.

"Really Cancer? Really?" asked Pisces.

"I'm really hungry." Then Cancer's stomach growled.

"We'll go get snacks soon okay? But don't touch that chocolate bar!"

"Ugh... need food!"

"Okay I'll go down to get some. We just need to make sure there's no one nearby," said Pisces.

"Look! It's white chocolate!" announced Cancer.

"We can get white chocolate later. Just don't eat that one alright?" asked Pisces. Cancer crawled forward. "Cancer what are you doing? No! Cancer stop it's a trap!" Cancer grabbed the chocolate bar and unwrapped it.

"Mmmmmmmmmm. See? Nothing happened," said Cancer.

"Wait... why isn't anything happening?" asked Pisces.

"Thank you angel for giving me this chocolate!" said Cancer while looking at the sky.

"Something doesn't feel right," said Pisces.

"It's okay. It's just chocolate. Want a piece?" asked Cancer.

"Not thanks," replied Pisces.

"It's not drugged or anything. Don't worry I made sure the wrapper wasn't opened before I ate it," said Cancer.

"Alright. I suppose I could have a piece," said Pisces. Then another chocolate bar flew on the roof.

"Okay someone definitely threw that one from down there," said Pisces.

"Now you have your own chocolate bar," said Cancer.

"How are you so relaxed?" asked Pisces.

"I don't know. The anxiety wears off sometimes," said Cancer.

"Really? Mine doesn't," said Pisces.

"Is that my chocolate?" Pisces and Cancer turned to sea Scorpio standing behind them.

"AHHHHHH!" Cancer and Pisces both jumped back and fell off the roof. A bunch of vines wrapped around them to catch their fall.

"What's going on?" asked Cancer. Then the vines let Cancer and Pisces down.

"Hi guys," said Taurus.

"Oh. Hi Taurus," said Pisces.

"I'm sorry," said Taurus.

"Sorry for what?" asked Cancer and Pisces at the same time. Then Taurus grabbed a bag that was behind her and dumped a bunch of chocolate bars on the ground. "SCORPIO! THEY HAVE MORE OF YOUR CHOCOLATE!"

"WHAT?!?"

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Pisces and Cancer ran inside the house. They hid in a closet in the living room and tried to muffle the sound of their breathing. The door swung open.

"FOUND YOU!" Scorpio was pushed back by a wall of water which gave Cancer and Pisces enough time to escape. Scorpio continued chasing them around the house.

***

Capricorn and Taurus were in the living room.

"Where did everybody go?" asked Capricorn.

"I think the trouble makers kidnapped everyone else," replied Taurus.

"Why?" asked Capricorn.

"I don't know. Maybe they want to get them to prank us or something," replied Taurus.

"IT WASN'T US I SWEAR!" screamed Cancer.

"REALLY? IT SURE LOOKED LIKE YOU WERE THE ONES EATING MY CHOCOLATE!"

"WE WERE TRICKED!" screamed Pisces. Then Cancer and Pisces slid down the slide from the hammock floor and ran into the kitchen. Two seconds later Scorpio followed.

"Oh yeah. I forgot to mention that I found a way to distract Scorpio for a while," said Taurus.

"Wait! Now we can outsmart the others with their mastermind gone," said Capricorn.

"We have to think fast. We only have until Scorpio catches up with them," said Taurus.

***

Aries and Leo were looking around the back yard.

"They're not here," said Aries.

"Hmm... wait what's that?" asked Leo. He walked closer and saw Calypso stuck in a tree.

"Meow."

"Don't worry Calypso, we'll save you!" shouted Leo.

"How did she even get up there?" asked Aries.

"I don't know but we need to help her down." Then Aries and Leo walked towards the tree. All of the sudden the ground beneath them collapsed and they fell down into a small hole.

"Huh?" asked Aries.

"Two down, five to go." Aries and Leo looked up to see Capricorn smiling at them.

"Shit," muttered Leo.

***

Libra was sitting down in Scorpio's not so secret base. A ring a fire was burning around him. Sagittarius was in the corner playing a game on his phone.

"Why am I even here?" asked Libra.

"Because. We're going to use you as bait to prank Capricorn, Taurus, Pisces and Cancer obviously," replied Sagittarius.

"How?" asked Libra.

"We haven't worked out the details yet," replied Sagittarius.

"Then why am I here?!?"

"Because we can't have you getting in the way. If you're up here then there's less people to worry about."

"This is unnecessary!"

"Much like your attitude."

"Oh shut up!"

"Make me!"

"You're such a kid."

"Kid at heart."

"Whatever."

"Oh. Leo just texted me. Get up!" Libra stood up and Sagittarius lead him over to the elevator.

***

Sagittarius lead Libra into the living room.

"Leo?" asked Sagittarius. Then a bunch of water put out the ring of fire around Libra. Libra stepped forward and grabbed Sagittarius by the wrists. "What's going on?"

"I HAVE SAGITTARIUS!" screamed Libra. Capricorn and Taurus walked out from their hiding places holding water guns.

Taurus grinned. "Perfect. Let's bring him to the others."

***

Virgo, Aquarius and Gemini were making plans in the library room.

"Then we could blast confetti everywhere!" suggested Virgo.

"And we can tackle Libby and smear paint all over him," suggested Aquarius.

"We're not just pranking Libra," reminded Gemini.

"I know. We can cover Capricorn and Taurus in paint as well," said Aquarius.

"Then let's get ready. Anyone have confetti guns and paint?" asked Virgo.

"In the art room," replied Gemini.

***

When Virgo, Aquarius and Gemini walked into the basement they saw Cancer and Pisces run by. They quickly closed the elevator. Two seconds later Scorpio ran up to the elevator and urgently closed it.

"They look busy," said Aquarius.

"Anyway, I think the paint is in here," said Gemini. Then she looked through a cupboard and pulled out various shades of paint.

"What about the confetti?" asked Aquarius.

"In here. I think the confetti guns are empty though," replied Gemini.

"Where's the refills?" asked Virgo.

"Looks like we're all out of confetti. Let's check in the shed in the backyard. We have lots of stuff stored in there," explained Gemini.

"Why?" asked Virgo.

"Because it won't all fit in here so we store some art supplies in the shed."

***

Gemini, Virgo and Aquarius walked into the backyard.

"What's going on over there?" asked Aquarius. They looked and saw the fire signs stuck in a cage full of vines.

"Did you guys try burning your way out?" asked Sagittarius.

"These vines won't burn," replied Leo.

"Guys just wait. Gemini or Scorpio will find us soon enough," said Aries.

"Hey guys!" said Gemini.

"Look! There's Gemini!" said Leo.

"Yes, we can all see her," said Sagittarius.

"Can you get us out?" asked Aries.

"I can try," said Gemini. Then Gemini, Virgo and Aquarius tried to open the cage. "Hmm, looks like it's stuck." Then the backdoor opened.

"I'M OUT OF BREATH!"

"KEPP RUNNING OR SHE'LL CATCH US!"

"I KNEW I SHOULDN'T HAVE EATEN THE CHOCOLATE!"

"I'D SAY I TOLD YOU SO IF WE WEREN'T RUNNING FOR OUR LIVES!" Cancer and Pisces ran around the house.

"STOP RUNNING AND GIVE ME BACK MY CHOCOLATE!" Then Scorpio ran around the house.

"Okay then," said Aquarius.

"My earth powers aren't doing anything so it looks like Capricorn and Taurus put their strength together to create vines that are so strong I can't undo them by myself," said Virgo.

"Thad right!" Gemini, Aquarius and Virgo turned around as a bunch of vines wrapped around them.

"Now it's time to finish this once and for all!" announced Taurus. The last thing anyone could remember was a weird scent before they passed out.

***

Aries, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Aquarius and Pisces woke up. They were in a maze. The walls were made out of rocks and a layer of vines covered the top so Aquarius and Gemini couldn't fly out.

"What the hell?" asked Sagittarius.

"Attention zodiacs!" Capricorn spoke into a megaphone from somewhere else. "You all have been found guilty of something. Aries, Leo, Gemini, Sagittarius and Scorpio are guilty of kidnapping Virgo and Aquarius and you guys set off multiple pranks. Virgo and Aquarius are guilty of becoming TRAITORS! They turned on us and joined in on the pranks. Scorpio, Pisces and Cancer are guilty of wrecking the house by chasing each other."

"As your punishment you all will have to go through a maze that Taurus and I have been working on for a month now. Don't worry, this maze is just a few minutes from the house so when you find your way out, walk straight and eventually you'll arrive at you house. Good luck!"

"So... we've been caught and out punishment is to walk through a maze?" asked Cancer.

"Easy. Split up and if you find the way out call out to the rest of us," suggested Pisces. Then the guilty zodiacs split up.

***

Gemini was walking through the maze. She reached a dead end. Ugh... this has to be the sixth dead end I found today. Why didn't anyone find the exit yet? Gemini turned around and froze. She noticed that man anywhere. Gemini backed up and started screaming at the top of her lungs.

"GEMINI! GEMINI WHAT'S WRONG?" Gemini looked up to see Aries in front of her.

"He was here..." said Gemini.

"Who?" asked Aries.

"The man," replied Gemini.

"One of the side effects of the gas that Capricorn used to put us asleep is hallucinating. He wasn't actually here, it was a hallucination," said Aries. Gemini was so certain that he was real.

"I guess. Come on. We need to get out of here," said Gemini.

"GUYS! I FOUND THE EXIT!" announced Virgo. Eventually everyone got out of the maze. By locking the others in that maze, Taurus, Libra and Capricorn had no idea what terror their actions would lead to in the future.
