Prom

A/N: Sorry for all the typos in the personality swap chapters. It was past midnight when I wrote them and my editing skills aren't the best to begin with 😂. Also it's like 2 am now so I apologize for any typos in this chapter too

A few weeks after the personality swap incident, the zodiacs were all in the living room.

"Okay, so prom is tonight. We need to find dresses and suits," said Capricorn.

"Yay a stupid dance that I don't want to attend!" said Aries. "Prom is stupid right Scorpio? Uh... Scorpio?"

Scorpio was reading a book. "What?"

"What book are you reading?" asked Aries.

"It's this new one that was sitting on my bed. It's really good. There's this girl names Sasha and she goes on lots of romantic adventures with her boyfriend Vincent and they're so cute together! The author is this book really knows how to play with your heart, I wish I could meet him someday," said Scorpio.

"Do you think the author wrote it about someone special?" asked Virgo with a grin on his face.

Scorpio flipped back to the beginning of the book. "Right here it says 'to my beautiful girlfriend. You were in my mind the whole time as I wrote this. You are very special to me and I hope you always remember that you make me the happiest of all!' The authors name is Vincent Virgo," said Scorpio. Then she paused and narrowed her eyes at Virgo for a second. Virgo smiled innocently.

"Anyway! We need to be matching with our dates so we should decide what colours we're going to wear," said Gemini.

"Well, Scorpio will probably kill us if we don't let her wear black," said Virgo.

"Maybe she'll want to wear pink. She had pink hair two weeks ago," tormented Aquarius.

Scorpio shuddered. "Let's not bring back those memories."

"Hey Saggi! I have an idea," then Cancer whispered something to Sagittarius.

Sagittarius' eyes widened. "Seriously? I thought that wasn't your style-"

"Yeah, but it would be kind of cool. Want to try it?" asked Cancer.

"Of course!" replied Sagittarius.

"Hey, why are there so many videos on my phone?" asked Taurus. Then she played one. It was a video of her and Sagittarius singing. It was interrupted by someone repeatedly yelling "KAKAW" at the top of their lungs.

Gemini and Leo were laughing.

"I remember those tragic memories!" said Gemini.

"When did this happen?" asked Taurus.

"You and Sagittarius almost became YouTube stars," laughed Leo.

"I ALMOST sound worst than Leo," said Sagittarius.

"What did you say-"

"Back on track! Since Capricorn is known as the most responsible student in our school, the principal asked us to help set up," explained Libra.

"What? But me and Virgo are known as the two LEAST responsible! Seriously, we're always getting detention for harmless pranks," said Aquarius.

"Harmless," said Capricorn while bending her index and middle fingers to make air quotations.

"He said that if you guys help out he'll get rid of your one week suspensions. Apparently no one wants to help decorate," explained Libra.

"How is Capricorn known as the most responsible? Like how does the principal know that?" asked Pisces.

"Because as the president of student council, he knows me quite well," explained Capricorn.

"So are we going now or can I spend some more time on youtube?" asked Pisces.

"Now," replied Capricorn.

The zodiacs had their outfits picked out and they were decorating the gym. Libra, Virgo, Aquarius and Sagittarius were assigned to blow up balloons since they couldn't cause trouble... or so Capricorn thought, Aries, Scorpio, Gemini and Leo were hanging up decorations since Leo wouldn't dare cause trouble with Scorpio watching him... or so Capricorn thought and Taurus, Capricorn, Cancer and Pisces were setting up the snack table and everything else since they were actually reliable and not lazy... or so Capricorn thought.

"I'm getting kind of light headed," said Sagittarius.

"Who does Capricorn think she is? Making us blow balloons since she won't trust us to help out with the snacks," frowned Virgo.

"Well... two idiots recently put a personality swapping potion in a batch of cupcakes so I can understand why Capricorn is wary of us," said Libra.

"Actually Leo was the one that put it in. I was just an accomplice," said Sagittarius.

"Isn't Libby one of the mature ones? Shouldn't he be trustworthy?" asked Aquarius.

"Meh. I can go either way," said Libra.

Aquarius' face lit up. "Hey, let's draw faces on the balloons!"

"Libby! Draw Cappy on this balloon! Then I can give her a moustache and a beard!" said Virgo.

"Huh. Looks like we can't even be trusted to blow up balloons," said Sagittarius. Then all four of them started drawing faces on their balloons.

"Look at mine! Aren't I talented?" asked Aquarius.

"Why is it crying?" asked Libra.

"Because he can't handle the sad reality of life," replied Aquarius.

"That was deep," said Sagittarius.

"I drew a person of physical perfection on my balloons!" said Virgo.

"Let me guess... is it me?" asked Libra.

"No it's... VIRGO!" said Virgo. Then he showed everyone the balloons with his face drawn on them.

"You liar! If you actually drew physical perfection then why aren't I on your balloons?" asked Sagittarius.

"Because you're not physically perfect," replied Virgo.

"Ouch! That broke my heart!" said Sagittarius while playing dead.

"Oh no someone perform CPR!" joked Libra.

"Actually, words can not physically break someone's heart. To break a heart you'd have to-" Virgo shoved a balloon in Aquarius' face to get him to stop talking.

"Watch this," whispered Libra. Then he grabbed a pen that someone dropped on the floor and put a balloon next to Sagittarius. Then he stabbed the balloon making a loud POP. A few people screamed.

"AHHHHHHHH! YOU COULD OF MADE ME DEAF!" screamed Sagittarius.

"Oops. Then you better get back to work and stop slacking off," said Libra.

"Technically we're all slacking off," said Aquarius.

"Did we give you permission to speak?" asked Virgo.

"What? So now I'm not allowed to-"

"DID. WE. GIVE. YOU. PERMISSION. TO. SPEAK?" asked Virgo.

"Uhh... no," replied Aquarius.

"Then zip it," Virgo pinched his fingers together and moved them across Aquarius' lips pretending that he was zipping Aquarius' mouth shut.

Aquarius picked up the imaginary zipper and unzipped his lips. "Haha your imaginary zipper won't stop me!"

"Wow. We blew up a total of... eight balloons. How long have we been here?" asked Sagittarius.

"Two hours," replied Libra.

"We should probably get back to work or Capricorn will yell at us," said Sagittarius. Then all four boys started blowing up balloons again.

"Aries. There's supposed to be a pink streamer over there," said Gemini who was on a ladder hanging streamers above the stage.

"Well the student council was on drugs when they decided the colour scheme of prom to be "pink and baby blue"," argued Aries who was also hanging up streamers while standing on a ladder.

"Just go with it. I don't have enough patience to argue with Capricorn today," said Scorpio while taping streamers to the front of the stage.

"Wait. Isn't Aries the leader?" asked Leo who was supposed to tape streamers to the front of the stage like Scorpio, but instead he was sitting down and picking at the decorations.

"Oh RIGHT! I Aries, leader of the zodiac, declare that all pink streamers are to be burnt immediately!" Then Aries plucked a pink streamer off the curtain and burnt it in her hands.

"Great rule! Now let's use dark blue and black!" suggested Scorpio. Then she tossed Aries and Gemini black and dark blue streamers that she bought just in case.

"These colours are much nicer than stupid pink," said Gemini. Leo gasped and put a hand on his heart.

"NOOOOOO! PINK IS THE MOST FABULOUS COLOUR OF ALL! HOW DARE YOU DESTROY SUCH A LOVELY COLOUR!" screamed Leo.

"Welcome to Aries and Leo's relationship, where the boy loves pink and wearing dresses and the girl hates bright colours and wears sweatpants all day because what are gender roles in this friend group anyway," announced Scorpio.

"Uh... I meant... uh... pink is nice but blue and black are better," said Gemini.

"What? Pink is horrible," argued Aries.

"Uh... uh... if I rip the pink streamers down Leo will be upset but if I don't then Aries and Scorpio will be upset. What do I do?" thought Gemini out loud.

"Rip them! Rip them! Rip them!" chanted Aries and Scorpio.

"Leave it! Leave it! Leave it!" chanted Leo.

"I feel like I'm about to make a life changing decision. Uh... two beats one I guess?" Then Gemini ripped the pink streamers down.

"Actually, now I can have the pink streamers all to myself," said Leo. Then he wrapped himself up in a pink streamer.

"Is he okay?" asked Scorpio.

"No one is ever okay in our house. Seriously, I think the king of constellations designed our personalities while drunk," said Aries.

"That would explain a lot," said Scorpio.

"I'm a pretty princess!" said Leo while twirling around covered in a pink streamer.

"Is he actually like that or does he act silly just to show off?" asked Gemini while looking at Aries.

"When it's just me and him, he's pretty mature so I'd say he likes showing off and making people laugh," replied Aries.

"Virgo isn't obsessed with Libra when it's just me and him. Maybe he thinks it's funny or something," said Scorpio.

"Pisces is... well... he's the same only a lot less shy when I'm hanging out with him," said Gemini.

"Can I join in on the gossip? What are you guys saying about me?" asked Leo who tuned out the entire conversation.

"We're talking about how you have an amazing singing voice," said Aries sarcastically.

"REALLY? Then allow me to sing a song. Ahem. I LOVE YOU, YOU LOVE ME~" sang Leo.

"LETS GET TOGETHER AND KILL BARNEY," sang Aries, Scorpio and Gemini in unison. "WITH A BASEBALL BAT AND TWO BY FOUR, NO MORE PURPLE DINOSAUR!" Then the girls started laughing while Leo made a pouty face because they ruined his song.

(A/N: who else sang that Barney parody as a kid? Or was it just me?)

"Who wants to bet that we're the only ones actually doing work?" asked Taurus while carefully placing the punch bowl on a table that was decorated with a pink tablecloth.

"I know we're the only ones actually doing work," said Capricorn while spreading a light blue tablecloth on the second table.

"Look at me! I'm a unicorn!" said Pisces while putting a plastic cup on his head.

"Me too!" then Cancer tried to balance a cup on her head but it kept falling off. Cancer kept picking the cup off the ground and tried again until eventually she gave up.

"So... who is in charge of the music?" asked Cancer who wanted to divert everyone's attention away from her failed attempts to balance a plastic cup on her head.

"Leo, Aries, Scorpio and Gemini I believe," said Taurus.

"We should definitely check over the playlist. We don't want metal blaring across the speakers and scaring some of the... delicate people," said Capricorn.

"So if you don't like metal it means you're delicate?" asked Pisces.

"Well... I couldn't think of a better word," said Capricorn.

"I think all of us are used to hearing metal and rock and punk rock by now. The trouble maker signs play it just to watch us jump when the singer starts screaming and swearing," said Pisces.

"You should tell them to stop," said Cancer.

"Well, I can't because Aries is the leader and apparently I can't tell her what to do," explained Capricorn.

"Maybe we should have a competition to see who's going to be the leader," suggested Pisces.

"Great idea! If Cappy wins then we'll finally be able to control everyone!" said Taurus.

"STOP TALKING AND GET BACK TO WORK YOU GUYS! I EXPECTED YOU TO BE BETTER THAN THIS CAPPY!" screamed Virgo.

Taurus balled her fists. "He's got some nerve telling US to get back to work."

"IF YOU DON'T BLOW UP AT LEAST FIFTY BALLOONS WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR, I'LL ASK LEO TO PLAY THE FOOTAGE FROM WHEN LIBRA CONFESSED HIS LOVE FOR YOU!" retorted Capricorn.

"GREAT!" screamed Virgo.

"I MEAN, I'LL HIDE ALL OF SCORPIO'S CHOCOLATE AND BLAME YOU!"

"Oh shit she's serious about this," said Virgo.

"I'm not going to do anything so Virgo will get in trouble," said Aquarius.

"If you don't start blowing balloons, I'll hide Taurus's bras all over your room so she'll be creeped out that you have her bras in your room," hissed Virgo.

"Ewww! You wouldn't do that!"

"Try me!"

"FIIIIIIIIIIINE!" Then the four boys started blowing balloons again.

"You actually got them to start working. Good job Cappy!" said Taurus.

Capricorn pointed her finger at Taurus. "Don't you start with that nickname!"

"Cappy! Cappy! Cappy! Cappy! Cappy!" sang Cancer.

"Uhh... guys? Aries, Gemini and Scorpio are-"

"Not important right now. Keep working, we only have an hour left before we have to go home and change," said Capricorn.

Pisces chuckled. "Okay then. Don't listen to Pisces and learn the hard way. Because that always works out for you."

***

After everyone was finished decorating, Capricorn walked up on the stage.

"Okay guys, before we go home I have a challenge. I challenge Aries over her leadership over the Zodiac," announced Capricorn. Aries glared at her while Virgo, Libra and Aquarius said "oooooooooooooooooh."

"Go Capricorn!" cheered Taurus.

"Go Aries!" cheered Gemini and Scorpio.

Aries walked up on the stage. "I Aries, leader of the Zodiac declare that my leadership can't be questioned."

"Unfortunately you can't make new rules while your leadership is in question. Now how shall we settle this?" asked Capricorn.

"Let's have a vote!" suggested Taurus. Everyone seemed to agree to that idea.

(A/N: before you read anymore... who are you voting for?)

"Alright? All in favour for Capricorn?" asked Taurus. Taurus, Cancer, Libra and Pisces raised their hands.

"Sorry Cappy! But you'd probably make a rule that I can't annoy you or do funny pranks and that wouldn't be fun," said Virgo.

Aquarius pointed at Virgo. "What he said!"

"All in favour of Aries?" asked Scorpio. Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Scorpio, Sagittarius and Aquarius raised their hands.

"Then I guess that's settled. I Aries, leader of the Zodiac, declare that my leadership is never to be questioned again."

***

All the zodiacs except for Cancer and Sagittarius walked into the gym. There was music playing and balloons danced around the dark room. Aries was wearing a red dress that faded to orange and yellow which gave it the appearance of being on fire, Taurus wore a white dress that had little pearls sewed into it, Gemini wore a blue dress that was full of rhinestones, Scorpio wore a black dress and Capricorn wore a silver dress that was full of silver sparkles. The boys wore suits with ties that matched their girlfriend's dresses. Aquarius' suit was covered in sparkles.

"Wait a second! Why are the streamers blue and black?!? We chose pink and light blue!" said Capricorn.

"I warned you," said Pisces. Then everyone split up and started dancing. Aquarius spiked the punch. He didn't think this would cause any problems.

***

Everyone was split up and doing their own thing when the music stopped. All of the sudden a few smoke bombs exploded onstage. People screamed. When the smoke cleared Cancer and Sagittarius were onstage. Cancer wore a rainbow dress, rainbow shoes and she even had rainbow eyeliner. Sagittarius' suit was rainbow with a black tie. They weren't the most fashionable couple there but they were certainly the most fabulous. Leo was jealous and disappointed that he didn't think of that idea first.

(Cancer's dress)

Then Cancer and Sagittarius each fired a rainbow glitter cannon which were both hidden behind the stage. Everyone cheered. Then Cancer and Sagittarius blew a kiss to their audience and walked off the stage. The music started playing again.

***

"Okay students. Now it's time to announce a few winners," announced the principal who walked onstage with a microphone. He wore a blue and white striped suit which made everyone cringe. The music stopped. "Okay... first of all we have the best hair award which goes to... Sally Parks!" Then a girl with beautiful wavy hair ran onstage and smiled as the principal handed her a mini trophy.

"The next award is the most fabulous award which goes to... Cancer and Sagittarius!" then Cancer and Sagittarius walked onstage and claimed their mini trophies.

"The best dancer award goes to... wait what? Are you guys serious? Who the heck voted Leo?" asked the principal.

"YAYYYYYY! THANK YOU! THANK YOU EVERYONE!" said Leo who ran onstage and enthusiastically shook the principals hand and patted him on the back before taking his mini trophy. Everyone in the gym laughed.

"Okay. I'm going to have to ask the lunch staff what they feed you guys. Anyway... the cutest couple award goes to... Pisces and Gemini!" Pisces ran onstage, took his award and quickly ran off while Gemini took her award and smiled as she walked offstage.

"The best car award goes to... Morgan Young who came here in a monster truck." Then a boy ran onstage and claimed his trophy.

"The M.V.P award goes to... Capricorn for planning everything and choosing all the decorations! But I have to ask, why are all the decorations blue and pink but the streamers are blue and black?" asked the principal.

Capricorn walked onstage. "Uh... I wanted to change it up, you know? Blue and pink if a cool theme but we couldn't have everything being blue and pink so the dark colours that I chose for the streamers really adds a variety to the colours that I chose," explained Capricorn.

"A very good decision. Isn't she brilliant?" asked the principal. The students started cheering. Then Capricorn looked at Aries, Scorpio and Gemini and smiled innocently before taking her trophy and walking offstage.

"Our best dress award goes to... Taurus!" Taurus walked onstage and happily grabbed her mini trophy.

"Best singing goes to... Libra!" Libra chuckled and grabbed his trophy.

"And our best suit award goes to... Aquarius!" Aquarius walked onstage and spun around making some of the sparkles fall off his suit. The students cheered.

"Okay. We put everyone's names in a hat and we're going to draw a random name since we have an extra trophy. And our random winner is... Aries!" Aries walked onstage, grabbed her award and walked offstage without saying anything.

"Finally... the moment you've been waiting for... it's time to announce our prom king and prom queen! Drumrolllllllllll..." the students started drumming their hands against their thighs to create a drumroll. "Our prom king is... Virgo!"

Virgo walked onstage and pretended to tear up as the principal placed a crown on his head.

"And our prom queen is... Scorpio!"

"How?" asked Scorpio before walking onstage and receiving her crown.

"Now our prom king and Queen will start us off with the first slow dance of the night!" A slow song started playing. Virgo and Scorpio hopped off the stage and started slow dancing. All the couples around them started slow dancing too.

***

When the zodiacs stepped out of the limo that they rented for prom, them stumbled into the house. Everyone was drunk because Aquarius spiked the punch so everyone drank the punch without realizing it. Since everyone was drunk they fell asleep either on the couch or the floor. No one remembered to lock the door...
