Animal Friends
Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer woke up tied to the tree.
"I guess no one fell and died," said Scorpio. Then one one the shoelaces snapped and they all fell. Pisces landed on Cancer who landed on Scorpio.
"Ow." Scorpio rubbed his back.
"Well that's one way to get down out of a tree." Cancer got up.
"What are we going to eat?" asked Pisces.
"Let's hunt!" suggested Scorpio.
"No way! I'm not killing anything!" protested Pisces.
"Then how will we eat?" asked Scorpio.
"Let's pick berries or something," replied Cancer.
"But... I guess that's the only other option," said Scorpio.
"Then let's go! I packed these plastic bags in case we found berries." Pisces held up a few plastic bags.
Scorpio smiled. "Good idea."
"I found a blackberry bush," announced Cancer. Pisces and Scorpio ran over to Cancer.

"Do you guys have any intention of letting me down?" Leo who was still taped to the wall.
Sagittarius looked at him. "Nope." The other zodiacs sat around Leo eating breakfast.
"My arms hurt."
"Fine."Libra got up and pulled all the tape off his and across his chest. Then Leo fell forward but was held in place by the tape around his legs. Everyone else started laughing. Leo removed the tape from his legs and he fell face first into Gemini's bowl of cereal.
Gemini groaned. "Seriously?"
"At least now your cereal is more fabulous!" Leo shook his head making the milk that got in his hair fly towards everyone else.
Aquarius was annoyed that Leo was
able to brother them again. "Well that was fun while it lasted."
"I know right. We should tie him up again," suggested Capricorn.
Taurus noticed the three empty seats. "Where's the water signs? They're still not back."
Libra shrugged. "Maybe they're lost."
"We should go look for them," suggested Aries.
"How? We might end up lost ourselves," said Virgo. Aries smirked.
"I know that look!" Sagittarius was getting excited.
Virgo did not like where this was going. "Whatever it is, no."
Aries gave her pleading eyes. "It's the best way to find them."
Gemini smirked."I say we let her do it."
Taurus rolled his eyes. "You don't even know what she has in mind."
"Whatever it is, include me!" exclaimed Capricorn.
"How about we let Aries tell us what she has planned?" asked Aquarius.
"Alright, so, I say we..."

Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer were sitting around the tree eating berries.
Cancer tossed a raspberry in his mouth. "Mmm we got a nice bunch of blueberries, raspberries and black berries!"
Pisces smiled as she swallowed a black berry. "I know right. They're so delicious!"
Scorpio shrugged. "Yeah. I'd still prefer to eat something like that bear over there."
"WHAT?!?" shrieked Pisces and Cancer. Then all three of them looked over to see a baby bear really close to them.
"Aww it's so cute!" smiled Pisces.
"Shhhh!" hushed Scorpio.
"If that's a baby, where's the mom bear?" asked Cancer. Then a big bear charged out of the bushes further away thinking that the water signs were going to hurt it's cub.
"AHHHH WHAT DO WE DO?" screamed Pisces.
"CLIMB THE TREE!" yelled Scorpio.
"BEARS CAN CLIMB!" screamed Cancer.
Scorpio gave Cancer a look that said, obviously. "CLIMB AS HIGH AND FAST AS YOU CAN. UNLES YOU'D RATHER BE BEAR FOOD!"
All three of them started climbing up the tree.
Pisces was sure she never climbed a tree so quick in her life. "SHE'S GETTING CLOSER!"
"CLIMB FASTER OR SHE'LL START CLIMBING AND PULL YOU DOWN!" ordered Cancer.
Eventually the three water signs were shaking and holding onto each other as the bear started climbing the tree.
"What do we do?" asked Scorpio.
"I know." Pisces took some berries from her bag and threw them on the ground. The bear cub started eating the berries and the mom near climbed down to eat some berries too. The water signs kept quiet and waited half an hour after the bears left before climbing down.
Pisces leaned against Scorpio and sighed in relief. "Looks like they didn't touch our box of gems."
Cancer hugged his friends. "Oh wow. I was terrified."
"M-Me too," stuttered Scorpio.
Pisces curled up in a ball. "We need to get home."
Scorpio ran his fingers through Pisces' hair. "I'd love to get home but we have no way of doing so until the others find us."
"We can try smoke signals," suggested Cancer.
"In case a helicopter flies by?" asked Pisces.
Cancer shrugged. "They might see the smoke when they come to find us."
"Sure. I'm sure Virgo packed us some matches just in case," said Scorpio.
Pisces and Scorpio gathered twigs and branched while Cancer got the matches for the fire.

After a while of waiting, the water signs were still waiting around the fire.
Pisces threw a stick in the fire. "No one's coming. We should get out of here."
"Wait what's that noise?" asked Cancer.
They looked up to see a huge helicopter that was built for many people.
Cancer smiled and pointed at the sky. "Hey look, I'm sure we'd like a helicopter like that."
"Who's the only people rich enough to buy a helicopter like that?" asked Scorpio.
"It's the others!" cheered Pisces. Then the helicopter got closer and they saw Leo, Sagittarius and Capricorn sticking their heads out a window and waving.
Cancer jumped up and waved back. "They're here!"
"I have the box." Scorpio held up the precious gemstones. A rope ladder dropped out of the helicopter. "Ladies first." Pisces grabbed the ladder. "Oh, I meant Cancer."
Cancer frowned and pushed Scorpio. Then Pisces started climbing up, after she was halfway up, Cancer started climbing. Then Scorpio grabbed onto the ladder when the mom bear came back.
"GUYS! PULL THE LADDRR UP NOW!" screamed Scorpio.
Pisces climbed into the helicopter and helped the others pull the ladder up. Cancer quickly climbed and helped the others. The bear was really close when Scorpio stuck out his tongue and the others pulled him up out of the bear's reach just in time. When they pulled Scorpio into the helicopter, he put the box down.
Taurus's eyes jumped to the box. "What's that?"
"Treasure," replied Cancer.
"You guys found it?" asked Aquarius.
"Yeah. It's full of gemstones," replied Pisces.
"Like, real gemstones?" asked Libra.
Scorpio nodded. "Yeah, we'll split up the gemstones so everyone can have a few. I counted them all and there's sixty nine gemstones. So everyone gets five gemstones and then us water signs get three extra since there's nine leftover." Pisces smiled because she still had a gemstone in her pocket.
Capricorn nodded. "Sounds fair."
Scorpio opened the box to let the others see.
"They're so pretty." Sagittarius' eyes lit up at the precious gems.
"I know right! Even more pretty than I am." Gemini posed.
Leo gave Gemini a funny look. "But they actually are pretty." Gemini pounced on Leo and started to wrestle with him. "Watch my broken arm!"
"NO ARIES! YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DO FLIPS WITH THE HELICOPTER!" Virgo was in the passengers seat.
"Why not Virgo?" complained Aries from the drivers seat.
"Because I said so."
"Fine, mom." Aries made the helicopter dive and made it fly up again right before it hit the ground. Everyone else was screaming and holding onto each other. Pisces, Cancer and Libra were crying with laughter because Leo and Scorpio ended up holding onto each other. Aquarius took a picture.
Taurus crossed his arms. "Who let Aries fly the helicopter?"
"She kicked Virgo out of the drivers seat." Sagittarius climbed in the front and decided to "help" Aries fly.
"So, did you guys get lost?" asked Aquarius.
"Yeah. We were also chased by a bear!" replied Pisces.
Cancer looked at Aquarius with wide eyes. "It was terrifying!"
"Are you guys alright?" Capricorn thought this story was coo, but he was also concerned.
Scorpio sighed. "Yeah. But I'd kill for a nice warm shower.
"Here. We also brought you guys some food." Libra passed food to everyone.
