Pisces walked downstairs and into the living room. Capricorn, Gemini, Taurus, Libra and Virgo were sitting down watching tv.

"Are the others still sleeping?" asked Pisces.

"Probably," said Libra. Gemini smiled as she ran out of the living room.

Virgo yawned. "It's rare for the fire signs to sleep in, they're usually up first."

"Should we wake them up?" asked Scorpio who popped up from behind the couch.

"What the heck? When did you get there?" asked Taurus who jumped up.

"An hour ago. Eavesdropping is fun," said Scorpio.

Gemini came back into the living room with her trumpet. "I say we wake them up!"

"Take these," said Capricorn as she passed everyone a set of earplugs.

Gemini started playing the trumpet as hard as she could and she was terrible at it. In three seconds everyone heard stomping from the fire tower and Gemini stopped playing. The fire signs walked into the living room.

"Who has the trumpet?" asked Leo who looked annoyed. Gemini threw the trumpet and accidentally hit Libra in the head.

"Ow," said Libra.

"Haha look who still has a sunburn," said Virgo pointing at Leo.

Leo pointed at Libra. "He does too!"

"Can I see that trumpet?" asked Aries. Libra passed it to her. Then Aries opened the window and chucked it as hard as she could. Then they heard an explosion and a little piece of trumpet flew back in through the open window.

"I came prepared," said Gemini who pulled another trumpet from behind her back and started playing until Libra caused a strong breeze that blew the other trumpet out the window.

Cancer walked into the living room.

"Good morning sweet heart," said Sagittarius as he ran and gave her a hug. Cancer smiled and hugged him back.

"I'm hungry, someone make food please," said Aquarius as he walked into the living room.

"Make your own food," ordered Capricorn.

"Why is there a piece of trumpet on the floor?" asked Cancer.

"Gemini's trumpet exploded randomly," replied Aries.

"Hey guys, let's bake a cake!" suggested Taurus.

"I bet I can make the best cake," said Sagittarius.

"No way," said Virgo.

"I could probably make a good cake," said Pisces.

"I challenge you all to a baking contest!" announced Aquarius.

"Challenge accepted," said Gemini. Then everyone went into the kitchen.

***

"So... baking twelve cakes will be too many," said Capricorn.

"Let's get into groups of three, problem solved," said Leo.

"Alright, everyone get into a group," said Capricorn.

"Scorpio!" screamed Aries.

"Aries!" screamed Scorpio.

"I'll go with you guys so you don't burn the house down," said Capricorn.

"Too bad it's groups of three and not four," complained Aquarius.

"I know right! Now we can't bother Capricorn," said Virgo.

"Maybe next time," said Libra.

"Hey Cancer, want to work together?" asked Taurus.

"Sure, hey Pisces you can work with us too!" suggested Cancer.

Pisces looked surprised. "Me?"

"Yeah, why not? We're best friends remember?" asked Cancer.

"Oh, that's right!" said Pisces.

"We should work together," said Leo.

"Alright, who else can we invite to our group?" asked Sagittarius.

"Gemini is that last one without a group," said Leo.

Gemini walked over to Leo and Sagittarius. "Let's do something crazy!"

***

The kitchen was full of ingredients to use while baking. The rules were that they were allowed to bake cupcakes, cakes or brownies. Cancer, Taurus and Pisces was the first group.

"What do you guys want to bake?" asked Taurus.

"How about brownies?" asked Cancer.

"I agree with brownies," said Pisces. Then they started making brownies.

"What should we add? This is a contest so we need to make our brownies stand out," said Taurus.

"How about candy?" suggested Pisces.

"Do we have candy?" Asked Taurus.

"I'll check," said Cancer. Then she walked around the room and looked through the cupboards until she found one stacked with candy. Cancer climbed up on the counter and reached for a bag on the top. "I've got some!"

"Careful, don't fall," warned Pisces.

"Here," then Taurus walked over and helped Cancer down.

"We're going to make the best brownies," cheered Pisces.

***

Next Aquarius, Libra and Virgo were baking.

"We're going to make a cake," announced Libra.

"Alright," said Aquarius.

"What kind of cake?" asked Virgo.

"Dude, we could literally poison the cake mix and no one would suspect a thing," said Aquarius.

"What goes through your head?" asked Virgo.

"Let's make a lemon cake," suggested Libra. Then they poured in the ingredients.

"Hey guys, I found a few treats to add to the cake," said Aquarius as he ran over with a few bags full of gummies.

"What are these?" asked Virgo as he opened a bag of gummy lifesavers. Then he got down on one knee. "Libra, we're meant to be. Please accept this ring and be my husband," joked Virgo as he gave the gummy lifesaver to Libra. Libra picked up the lifesaver and ate it.

"Rejected!" shouted Aquarius.

"Guys let's get back to baking the cake," said Libra.

"Why don't you love me?" asked Virgo while fake crying.

"Because he's my husband instead, right Libby?" asked Aquarius.

"I was going to play along but then you called me Libby," said Libra. Virgo laughed at Aquarius and they continued baking the cake.

***

Aries, Scorpio and Capricorn were next.

"Let's make a cheesecake," suggested Aries.

"Yes!" said Scorpio. Then they high fived.

"Do you know how?" asked Capricorn.

"Well... no," said Scorpio.

"It's just cake with cream cheese right?" asked Aries. Then Scorpio and Aries dumped cream cheese into the cake batter. Capricorn face palmed. Should I help them or wait and see what happens? Thought Capricorn. Then Capricorn decided to let them do what they wanted.

"Okay, so let's pour in the rest of the ingredients," said Aries. Scorpio went to pour in the eggs but she tripped and knocked Aries over too so they were both lying on the floor with broken eggs around them.

Capricorn tried not to laugh but failed. "I think I should do the rest while you two clean up."

Scorpio and Aries got up but they slipped on the egg yolk on the floor and they both crashed into the cupboard. Capricorn sighed and shook her head. This was going to be a long day.

***

Last of all Leo, Sagittarius and Gemini were baking cupcakes (uh oh).

"Okay, next we need vegetable oil," said Leo.

"How much?" asked Gemini.

"I don't know. Where's the box of instructions?" asked Leo.

"We threw it out," said Sagittarius.

"I guess we'll need a lot," said Gemini as she poured lots of vegetable oil in the bowl.

"What else do we need?" asked Sagittarius.

"I think the box said vegetable oil, water, eggs and tabasco sauce," said Leo.

"What's tabasco sauce?" asked Sagittarius.

Gemini grabbed the tabasco sauce. "It's like hot sauce," said Gemini.

"Why would we put hot sauce in the cake batter?" asked Sagittarius.

"I don't know but didn't it say that on the box?" asked Gemini.

"I'm pretty sure," said Leo.

"How much should we use?" asked Sagittarius.

"Almost as much as the vegetable oil," said Leo.

"Okay," said Gemini as she poured the entire bottle in the batter.

Afterwards all the zodiacs were in the dinning room with a tray of brownies, two cakes and some deformed cupcakes.

"I guess we should have four taste testers," said Aries.

"One person from each group," said Capricorn.

"I'll do it!" volunteered Scorpio.

"Me too!" said Pisces.

"I will," said Libra.

"What about the other group?" asked Aquarius.

"I'm not doing it," said Leo.

"Me either," said Sagittarius.

"Fine," said Gemini.

"So I guess you guys can taste test one of each dessert and vote for the one you like the best," said Virgo.

"But you can't vote for your own," added Taurus.

"How about the winner doesn't have to clean up?" asked Cancer.

"Good idea," said Taurus.

Then the four taste tester took a brownie each. They all smiled because it tasted good. Then they took a slice of the cake that Libra, Aquarius and Virgo made. It was also delicious and well cooked. Then they took a slice of the other cake.

Gemini frowned. "What's in this cake?"

"It's cheesecake," said Scorpio.

"It doesn't taste like cheesecake, but it's still good," said Libra.

"Let's try the cupcakes so I can get this weird taste out of my mouth," said Pisces. Then they all started eating the cupcakes.

Scorpio started choking. "Water... please,"

"What was in those damn cupcakes?" asked Libra.

"I'm going to throw up," said Pisces.

"I'm guessing we weren't supposed to use tabasco sauce," said Gemini.

"Okay, which dessert do you guys think was the best?" asked Capricorn. Scorpio pointed to the brownies, Gemini pointed to the lemon cake, Pisces pointed to the lemon cake and Libra pointed to the cheesecake.

"Yeah! We win!" shouted Aquarius. Then Aquarius, Virgo and Libra ran out of the dinning room while everyone else cleaned the kitchen.
