Virgo, Scorpio, and Libra were searching for Capricorn.

Scorpio grinned ear to ear while hugging Virgo from behind. "My precious."

Virgo frowned. "Why is she so weird? I'm not complaining or anything, but why?"

Scorpio laughed. "Because the tables have turned, my sweet Virgo. Now I get to annoy you. Have a taste of your own medicine."

Virgo looked at Libra. "Hey Libra, how do I get her to stop?"

Libra looked startled. "Did you just call me Libra?"

"That's your name, isn't it?"

"Well... Yeah..."

"Then why are you surprised?"

"I'm starting to like this Virgo already."

"SURPRISE ATTACK!" Scorpio leaned back, pulling Virgo down with her.

"What was the point of that?" asked Virgo.

"That's what we ask you on a daily basis," replied Scorpio. Virgo got up and helped Scorpio up too.

"So, how do you feel about pranks?" asked Libra.

Virgo sighed. "They're an immature waste of time."

Scorpio jumped on Virgo's back. "How much am I annoying you right now, Virgo?"

"Meh. Getting annoyed is pointless. If you want to be weird and slightly creepy, have at it!"

Libra looked at Scorpio with wide eyes. "I feel like I'm in a parallel universe."

"Hey Virgo. Did you know you have a hot body?" asked Scorpio.

Virgo blushed. "Don't say things like that. Especially in public!"

Scorpio leaned her chin on Virgo's shoulder. "I will annoy you before this day is over. Mark. My. Words."

Virgo shrugged. "Go ahead."

Scorpio frowned. "This Virgo is no fun. I want my idiot back."

"Even I'm starting to miss the weird shit he always says," agreed Libra.

Virgo sighed. "Guys, I'm not a crazy person. You talk about me as if I act like I'm high. I'm just a normal guy, okay? You should know this by now."

"This is so weird," said Libra.

"I know!" agreed Scorpio. Then she dug her chin into Virgo's shoulder.

"Hey! Can you not?" asked Virgo.

Scorpio grinned. "Annoyed yet?"

"No. I'm just questioning your behaviour."

"And I'm questioning how normal Virgo is even possible," muttered Libra.

"I think we broke the universe," agreed Scorpio.

"ARIES GET BACK HERE!"

"NOPE! COME CATCH ME SUCKER!"

Sagittarius ran down the street, chasing a crazy ram that held his phone in her hands.

Leo stuck his hands in his pockets. "Guys. We're supposed to be looking for Capricorn. Then we'll take her stuff and make her chase us."

"Poor Mom doesn't get a break," joked Sagittarius.

"Wait!" shouted Leo. "If Capricorn is our mom, and Aries is Capricorn's wifey, does that make Aries our second Mom?"

Aries stuck out her tongue. "Eww. I don't want to be a Mom of ten spoiled brats. I prefer playing the role of one of the crazy children."

Sagittarius shrugged. "Well, Cappy is actually dating Libra. I guess he can be out second Mom instead."

"SELFIE!" Aries stopped and spammed Sagittarius's phone with crazy selfies. "Ooh, who's that hot girl? Oh wait it's me! You're so pretty Aries! Oh thank you, I know I am! Yeah! Work it hot stuff!"

"You need your head checked." Sagittarius grabbed his phone.

"NOOOOOOO! You're ruining my photo shoot!" whined Aries. Then they started wrestling.

Leo rolled his eyes. "I'm checking your rooms. I believe one of you are secretly drinking a crazy potion every morning or something."

"Since when are you not crazy?" asked Sagittarius while pinning Aries' arm behind her back.

"Having to live on my own changed me. After you guys kicked me out, a lot happened on my quest to find a new door. That experience... it changes people."

"All you did was sleep over at Phoenix's. You told us that you didn't even buy the door yourself." Aries kicked Sagittarius and uppercutted him.

"You're right. I'm still crazy." Leo snatched the phone from Sagittarius. "Who's that fabulous guy right there? It's me! Holy shit I'm so handsome. Woah! How can people resist this sexy face? I was truly blessed with hotness."

"You both need to knock your confidence down a level." Sagittarius snatched his phone back. "Two thousand photos. You guys took two thousand photos." Sagittarius smirked. "Too bad this isn't my phone."

Leo's eyebrows shot up. "Huh?"

Sagittarius took selfies on the phone. "Me and Libra have the same phone case. I actually stole this from him earlier, while pretending that it was mine."

Leo shrugged. "Then I hope Libra likes our selfies. We should be models. Honestly."

Aquarius and Taurus were looking at the park. They held hands as they walked. They held a glass of lemonade that they bought at a lemonade stand in their other hands.

"I wonder where she could be." Taurus listened for screaming, but everything was peaceful.

Aquarius shrugged. "She could be anywhere. Why are we wasting our time looking for her when she'll come back on her own?"

Taurus stepped on his foot. "Because she's our friend and we want to make sure she won't get into trouble."

"But she won't."

"She probably will!"

"Tauruspoop."

Taurus crossed her arms. "Why does everyone keep saying that? Is everyone calling me a piece of poop or something?"

"Taurus... poop. Sounds a lot like bull... shit," explained Aquarius.

Taurus stopped walking and face palmed. "Ugh. How did I not get that?"

"I don't know. Maybe you lost a few brain cells."

Taurus started walking again and elbowed Aquarius. "Maybe you're about to lose your head."

Aquarius put his hands up in surrender. "Don't kill me! I have two children to feed!"

Taurus raised her eyebrows. "What children? Someone's been busy."

Aquarius elbowed her. "I'm talking about Virgo and Libra."

"Why are they your children?"

"Because Libra is my baby and Virgo is the spoiled five year old that was disowned and got adopted by aunt Capricorn."

Taurus laughed. "Your mind is so random. I'm not even going to try to understand how your brain works."

Aquarius shrugged. "Normal is boring anyway."

"Wait. Aren't you the baby though? Isn't it more like Libra would be the dad, and you'd be baby Aqua, while Virgo is the evil older brother that keeps trying to get rid of his little brother? Wait what am I saying? I'm not getting pulled into this whole imaginary family bullshit."

Aquarius frowned. "I'm not a baby though. Libra is lying. He was the baby all along."

"Okay Aqua. We'll go with that."

"If I'm a baby, that means you're dating a baby. In human years you're... what? Eighteen? Something like that? Don't people go to jail for dating small children?"

Taurus choked on her lemonade. Aquarius patted her on the back until she stopped coughing.

Taurus jabbed Aquarius as hard as she could with her elbow. "Why do you always say stuff like that?"

Aquarius shrugged. "Look. It's Capricorn."

"No it's not."

"No, seriously!"

Taurus looked up to see a girl chasing small children around the park.

"Get her!"

Aquarius ran forward and chased Capricorn. Taurus followed, but Capricorn was faster than both of them.

"She's... so... fast..." Aquarius took a long gulp of his lemonade.

"Hi friends." Capricorn ran over, took Aquarius' lemonade, and dumped it over his head.

Aquarius frowned. "Hey! A five year old boy told me that he made that lemonade with love."

"Aww how sweet! NOT!" Capricorn jumped on his back.

"Taurus! Help!"

Taurus sat back and sipped her lemonade. "Go Capricorn!"

"TAURUS!"

"AHAHAHAHAHA." Capricorn jumped down and pulled the shoe off of Aquarius's foot. She ran away until she fell in a small pitfall.

Taurus and Aquarius ran forward and looked down. Capricorn was climbing up the pitfall.

As soon as she got up, Taurus tightly wrapped her arms around her. Aquarius did the same thing and they carried her home.

***

Later on, Aries, Taurus, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn and Aquarius were at home.

"Wait. Where's the other three?" asked Aquarius.

Sagittarius shrugged. "Let's send someone out to find them."

Scorpio licked Virgo's cheek.

"Ew!" Virgo wiped his cheek.

"Did I annoy you yet?" asked Scorpio.

"Yeah, whatever."

Scorpio pumped her fist in the air. "Finally!"

Libra grinned. "I vote we send Virgo out to find them. Unless he's afraid of the dark."

"Yeah. Why don't you go look for them, Virgo?" asked Aries.

"I'LL GO!" Capricorn tried to get out of Taurus' arms.

Taurus held her back. "I don't think so. You're going to sit right here in my lap until you're back to normal."

"Here." Leo tossed a flashlight to Virgo.

Virgo sighed and walked outside holding the flashlight. Two minutes later Scorpio, who was dressed in black, followed him.

***

"Here Cappy, Cappy~" sang Pisces. The three short zodiacs were using their phones as flashlights in the dark.

"Shouldn't we go back now?" asked Cancer.

"Not until we find her! The others would of told us if they found her, right?" asked Gemini.

Cancer shrugged. "Maybe they forgot. Let's go back and check."

Gemini smirked. "I bet you're scared of the dark."

"I am not!" protested Cancer.

"Well, it's not like ghosts and stuff come out during the day," said Pisces. "Every horror movie takes place at night."

Gemini sighed. "Here ghosty, ghosty... oh look, nothing came."

Cancer laughed. "I was half expecting someone to pop out at us, wearing a white sheet."

"It's definitely something the others would do," agreed Pisces.

They all felt their phones vibrate.

Virgo: Hi guys. Where are you? I'm at the park now and I feel like someone's following me

Scorpio: Oh no. I hope Ophiuchus doesn't have a secret twin sister

Virgo: That's ridiculous. Our days of being stalked are over

Scorpio: 😏

Virgo: What's with that emoji?

Scorpio: I'm just being random. Go back to finding the shorties

Gemini: Excuse me? Me and Pisces are almost as tall as Aries

Aries: no you're not

Cancer: So what? We can fit in suitcases but you can't. So it's better to be short!

Gemini: EXACTLY! That's why we got to go to Paris but you didn't!

Pisces: Yeah! We're going home now

Virgo: No. Go to the park because I'm sure someone's watching me

Gemini: You're a strong boy

Taurus: Aren't you a little old to have imaginary friends?

Virgo: Aren't you a little old to be dating a baby?

Aquarius: No, Libra's the baby!

Libra: Who remembers when baby Aqwa got stuck in a baby swing? I DO!

Leo: I'm fabulous. Don't talk to me 🤴🏼

Sagittarius: No one was going to talk to you anyway

Leo: No one was going to talk to YOU! Because you have no friends

Aquarius: Hey Sag, wanna be friends?

Sagittarius: Yup

Leo: 😒

Libra: Guys, It's always everyone against Leo. I'll be your friend

Leo: FINALLY! Libra is officially my favourite person

Aries: ☹️

Aries: Leo we're dating

Leo: I have two favourite people

Gemini: We have chosen hiding spots. Come find us

Aquarius: What?

Pisces: It's hide and seek. Come find us 😝

Taurus: No. Come home

Cancer: Whoops. We're already hiding

Pisces: We'll give you a hint. I'm in a tree, Cancer is in a tree... and Gemini is in a tree

Cancer: We're all in a tree

Virgo: But there's trees everywhere

Gemini: EXACTLY

Cancer: Lol. You'll never find us

Gemini, Pisces and Cancer put their phones away. They watched from a tree as Virgo looked around.

"Let's make a bet. I bet that it will take him an hour to find us," said Gemini.

Cancer bit the inside of her cheek. "I think it will take him half an hour."

Pisces shrugged. "I don't think he's going to find us."

"Guys, just come out. It's dark. We need to go home so we can sleep." Virgo made the flashlight shine through the trees. He didn't see anyone. "Hello? Guys this isn't funny!"

"It's funny to us," muttered Pisces.

Virgo was still walking around when he felt like someone was watching him again. He turned around. There was no one there. "H-hello? Uh... I'm a black belt in karate and I'm a pro in martial arts."

Virgo held his breath and tried to listen. "If that's you Cancer, Pisces and Gemini, it's not funny. I will actually be mad."

Gemini gasped dramatically. "Oh my god. He'll actually be mad. Guys, this changes everything."

All three of them laughed.

"VIRGY!" All of the sudden Virgo was lying face first on the ground with someone on top of him. He started screaming.

"What's going on?" asked Pisces.

"Virgo!" Cancer jumped out of the tree and ran towards him. Gemini and Pisces sighed and followed.

Scorpio was sitting on top of Virgo. "Hi Virgy!"

"What's gotten into Scorpio?" whispered Pisces.

Scorpio noticed the three others. "He's always annoying me, so today is Scorpio annoys Virgo day." Then she got up and hugged Virgo as tight as she could.

"Can't... breathe..."

"The world has tipped upside down," muttered Gemini.

Cancer shrugged. "The world is ending. We're all probably going to die."

"We gave Virgo a normal potion. Remember?" asked Pisces.

"OH," said Gemini and Cancer.

"So. Are we going home now?" asked Pisces.

"I won the bet since I was closest," announced Cancer.

Pisces smirked. "Actually, we found Virgo. Not the other way around. Therefore, I win. My prize will be... for you two to carry me home."

"Alright." Gemini picked up Pisces's legs.

Cancer picked up his arms.

They both looked at each other, clearly thinking the same thing.

They started swinging Pisces.

"Hey! Guys, I said carry! Not swing!"

Cancer shrugged. "Oh well."

"Oh no." Gemini accidentally dropped Pisces' legs. "Sorry about that." She picked them back up.

Pisces sighed. "Why did I trust you guys?"

"That's still a mystery to me," muttered Cancer.

"GET THIS CRAZY LADY AWAY FROM ME!" Virgo sprinted past them.

Scorpio followed, laughing her head off.

"I can't wait for things to go back to normal," sighed Gemini.

"Are you forgetting that there is no "normal" for our friend group?" asked Cancer.

Gemini smiled. "But I wouldn't have it any other way."
