Ghost Stories
It was the day after the zodiacs got home from Florida. Some zodiacs were sad to leave Florida, but they had a great time. Especially Aries and Gemini, so far only Sagittarius and Aquarius knew about their relationship.

Taurus woke up. He was in his own room back at the mansion. He decided to walk downstairs and get something to eat. When he got into the kitchen, he noticed Cancer and Leo were in the dinning room.
Taurus poured himself some cereal and joined them. "So... Anyone have any plans for later on today?"
"Not really. I'm going for a run later if you want to come," said Leo.
"Sure."
Cancer took a bite of his toast. "Maybe I'll come too."
Scorpio appeared in the doorway. "Maybe we could tell ghost stories later."
"No! That's a bad idea Scorpio!" said Cancer.
"Great idea," said Leo and Taurus at the same time.
Cancer shuddered. "Remember the last time we let Scorpio tell a ghost story?"
Leo nodded. "This time we'll put a bell on him so he can't sneak away and scare you."
"There. Problem solved," said Taurus.
Cancer bit his lip."W-well Capricorn gets scared easily too!"
"Fear is a weakness that you have to learn to control," said Scorpio.
Leo smirked. "Aren't you afraid of spiders?"
"This isn't about me!"
"Fine. But we have to tell the stories inside the mansion and I get to use my phone as a flashlight," demanded Cancer.
"Deal," agreed everyone else at the same time.

Pisces walked into the living room. She saw a plate of Oreo cookies on the coffee table. I'm sure no one will mind if I take just one. Pisces ate the Oreo cookie.
"BLEH IT'S TOOTH PASTE!!!" Aries walked in the living room laughing. "Any particular reason you're playing a prank on me?"
"For fun. Those Oreos were meant for Virgo because she loves Oreo cookies. Revenge is sweet."
"I don't think you're supposed to take that literally. Mind if I take a few? I wonder if Libra likes Oreo cookies."
"Yeah sure." They heard footsteps. "Hide! Virgo's coming!" Aries and Pisces slid underneath the couches.
"Ooh Oreos!" Crap. It's Gemini! thought Aries.
"ARIES!" screamed Gemini.
Virgo walked into the room laughing. "So I was right! I knew I saw Aries messing with some Oreos!"
Pisces came out from under the couch. "She did it to me too!"
"I bet that prank was meant for me," said Virgo.
"Why do you think so?" asked Gemini.
"Aries will kill me if I tell you."
"Let's get some revenge of our own," suggested Gemini. "I bet Aries is nearby, let's get her!"
Aries was hoping Pisces wouldn't tell them where she was. Pisces was too nice to do something like that. Then something grabbed Aries' foot and dragged her out from under the couch.
"Hi Gemini, Pisces and Virgo. You guys look happy today." Aries got up and tried to run, but Gemini grabbed her arm and started tickling her. "MAKE IT STOP!"
Libra and Sagittarius walked in.
"What's going on?" asked Sagittarius.
Virgo smirked. "Oh nothing. Aries tried to steal an Oreo, that's all."
"Can I have one?" asked Libra.
"Go ahead."
Libra ate it. "BLEHHHHHHHH! WHO RUINED THESE STUPID OREO COOKIES?!?"
"Aries!" said Gemini, Pisces and Virgo at the same time.
Libra joined in and helped Gemini tickle Aries.

Aquarius walked into the kitchen to get something to eat. Capricorn was frying some eggs.
"Can you fry an egg for me please?" asked Aquarius.
"What am I? A chef?"
"You are now. I like my eggs scrambled."
"What's all that screaming about?"
"Aries probably made a plan and it probably backfired."
"What did she do this time?"
"This morning I saw her doing something with Oreos and toothpaste."
"Did you say Oreos?" Leo came out of the dinning room.
"Yeah. Aries made some. Why don't you go take one for you and your friends?" asked Aquarius.
"Sure." Leo walked into the living room and took the plate of Oreos. He walked into the dinning room and gave one to Scorpio, Cancer and Taurus. Leo was about to eat one when he smelled something minty. Tooth paste? So that's why everyone was tickling Aries. Then he realized something.
"Aries made them!" shouted Leo before he ran out of the dinning room.

Later on that night, everyone sat in the living room.
"It's ghost story time!" announced Scorpio enthusiastically.
"G-ghost stories?" asked Pisces.
"Don't worry, Scorpio is wearing a bell around both his wrists and his ankles so we'll hear him if he tries to sneak away," reassured Virgo.
Libra glared at Scorpio. "We don't want a repeat of last time."
"Can I tell the ghost story?" asked Sagittarius.
"Uh I guess," said Libra.
Aquarius and Taurus went around turning off all the lights in the house. When they returned, Sagittarius held a flashlight and started speaking.
"A long time ago, there was an old man that lived with his wife in a small house. They were happy together. One night on a full moon, the man started doing crazy things. His wife got worried. She asked him if he needed help, he said no. She was trying to call the hospital when the man heard the voices in his head. As the days went on, the voices got louder. He refused to seek help. Then one day he listened to those voices and did a horrible thing. It took three weeks before the police found the body and-"
"That's a murder story not a ghost story!" said Leo.
"Same thing!"
"It's not even scary," scoffed Virgo.
Capricorn looked at Cancer and Pisces. "You alright Cancer and Pisces? You guys look kind of pale."
"W-we're f-fine," stuttered Cancer.
"Who's next? asked Scorpio.
Aquarius shrugged. "I'll tell one."
"Alright," said Scorpio.
"A long time ago there was a girl. No one liked her. She decided to live in her own house. Alone. Eventually she made a friend. She never had a friend before, so she started stalking him. Eventually the guy got annoyed and told her to go away. The girl was very hurt, so she stood on the roof and jumped. Ever since her ghost haunted random people. She would silently drag people away and and leave them stranded in the woods. Alone. Far away from the nearest house-"
Pisces looked around. "G-G-Guys, where's Aries?"
Aquarius shrugged. "Maybe the ghost took her."
"I don't know... Uh oh. Gemini is gone too," said Capricorn. Sagittarius and Aquarius looked at each other.
"Where's Scorpio?" asked Cancer.
"Right here," said Scorpio. Then he moved his arms and made the bells jingle.
"I think we should-" something interrupted Leo. The lights flickered on for a second.
"Guys! Leo is gone!" shouted Libra.
"GET THE LIGHTS!" yelled Cancer. He flicked the lights on. Virgo started counting people.
"Okay there's nine of us left." The lights flicked back off.
"What the hell?" asked Scorpio. Then the lights flicked back on. Virgo counted people again.
"Eight! Who's missing?" asked Virgo who was starting to panic. Everyone looked around and saw a pile of bells where Scorpio was just sitting.
"This is getting scary!" Pisces hugged Cancer for comfort. The lights flicked off. Then, Pisces went over to flick the lights back on when something grabbed her. She screamed as she got dragged away.
"Pisces!" Cancer went to look for Pisces when something grabbed him. He screeched as loud as he could. Then the lights flicked back on.
"What the hell?" asked Capricorn.
Aries, Leo, Gemini, Scorpio and Pisces walked out of the storage room. Everyone was laughing except for Pisces who was too shocked to move.
"Who's idea was this?" asked Taurus.
"Scorpio," replied Leo. Cancer and Pisces agreed to get back at Scorpio for scaring them so much afterwards.
