Jobs
"Why do we even need to work?" asked Aquarius as she cleaned a table. Her and Capricorn started their new jobs as fast food employees today.
"Aries and Virgo had a genius idea again." Capricorn cleaned a table beside her.
"Aren't we rich?"
"Yeah but Virgo wants to keep it that way."
"Wait! Where does all the money come from if neither of us ever work?"
"I don't know... But that's a good question."
"I bet Aries knows, she was the first to move into the mansion."
A little girl walked in the restaurant with her family. She ran over to Aquarius. "Your hair is so pretty!"
"Thanks."
"Megan don't run off like that," warned the little girl's mom. "Sorry, she really likes the colour blue." Then the mom walked away with Megan. Aquarius smiled.

"I'm stuck working with four girls," said Leo. Following a strike, a large clothing store in the mall needed new employees. That's where Leo, Virgo, Aries, Sagittarius, and Libra now worked part-time. Today they manager called them all in for their first day out of training.
"You wanted to work at the clothing store," said Virgo.
"Yeah, but seeing the cute girls walk by is worth it!" said Leo for a joke.
Sagittarius sighed. "That's why he wanted to work here."
A fifteen-year old girl walked up to Leo. "Hi could you help me with something?"
"Uh... Sure," replied Leo.
"I want to try all this stuff on but I need the opinion of a guy when I walk out of the dressing room."
"I really can't-"
"Thanks!" The girl pulled Leo over to the dressing room area and pushed him on the bench outside. "Wait there!" She ran in the dressing room. All the other zodiacs were laughing, especially Libra.
"Poor Leo," said Aries.
"She had a big pile of stuff to try on," said Sagittarius. Then the girl came out of the dressing room.
Libra crossed her arms. "I can't wait to torment him about this."
"That was quick," said Virgo.
The girl wore a crop top and a short skirt. "What do you think?"
"That might look good in the summer... but I think that you need to wear more clothes since its winter," said Leo.
"What are you, my parent?"
"You asked for my advice!"
"Whatever." She went to try on another outfit.
Libra chuckled. "Who wants to bet crazy girl has a crush on Leo?"
"Me," said everyone else.
A guy wearing a black hoodie walked in. His hood covered his face."
Virgo walked over to him. "You aren't allowed to wear a hood over your face in here." She pointed to the camera. "Security reasons."
"Who's gonna stop me?" asked the guy who was probably smirking.
That voice sounds very familiar! Aries walked over. "Why does your voice sound familiar?"
"I don't know. I'll tell you for a kiss~"
Aries slapped him. "I have a boyfriend!"
"What if I told you he was right here?" The guy pulled the hood away from his face.
"GEMINI?!?" Aries gave him a hug.
"Surprise!"
Virgo sighed. "I thought you were supposed to be at work. Did you get fired already?"
"No. My shift doesn't start for another half hour," said Gemini.
Leo ran out of the store.
"Leo! Come back before you get fired!" screamed Libra.
"What the hell?" asked Sagittarius.
The girl chased him."I JUST WANTED YOUR NUMBER!"
Sagittarius went to get the pile of clothes she left in the dressing room and put it back.
Virgo shook her head. "If the manager comes back from break before Leo gets back, we'll tell her he's just using the washroom."

"Get out of my way!" screamed a random guy. Scorpio stood there not moving. "I'll tell your boss."
Taurus pulled Scorpio away. "What's your problem?"
"That's the guy," said Scorpio sadly.
"THE guy?!? The one that kicked your ass everyday in grade five?"
"Yeah that's him."
"I'm going to kick his-"
"No Taurus, don't."
"A guy can't do that kind of thing and then push you around like that!"
"You'll lose your job."
"Scorpio, I hate being a waiter just as much as you do."
"What will Virgo say if you get fired?"
"She..."
"That's what I thought."
"Whatever. I can't believe we have to work. We don't even need jobs!"
"We only need to work two days a week. Also how do we even have so much money if we don't work?" asked Scorpio.
"It's a very long story and I only know parts of it."
"Who knows the full story?"
"Probably Aries or Virgo."
"It's always those two that know everything."
"Yeah because they ask questions like why do have so much money. We should be poor with 12 people and no one working but somehow we're rich."
"It doesn't make any sense."

"What a cute little fishie!" Pisces smiled at the fish tank that she had just cleaned.
"What a cute little snake." Gemini at a snake cage.
"Snakes creep me out," said Cancer.
Gemini laughed. "What do you guys think Aries will do if I put a snake in her bed?"
"She'd probably feed you to a bear or a lion," replied Pisces.
"I can't wait for this hour to be up," sighed Cancer. "I can't wait to go home."
Gemini crossed his arms. "My shift just started."
A family came in the pet store. There were two twins. One was a boy and the other is a girl. They ran over to the hamsters.
"I like this one," said the girl pointing to an albino hamster.
"Me too," agreed the boy.
Pisces walked over."That one's my favourite! Isn't he cute?" She got a little box to put him in. Then the mom payed for the hamster.
"Thank you!" said the twins at the exact same time. Then they left.
"This is the perfect job for you two. You guys get to work with animals," said Gemini.
"Yeah!" cheered Cancer and Pisces at the same time.
And I get to work with the adorable Pisces. Beat that Scorpio, thought Cancer.
"There's so many cute puppies here!" said Pisces. "Wait! Where did Gemini go?"
"Found him," said Cancer.
Gemini was hissing at a cat. It hissed back.
"Leave that cat alone!" ordered Pisces.
"But tormenting it is so fun."
Cancer rearranged a shelf of dog collars. "It's also not nice."
"Whatever."

Aquarius and Capricorn were the first to get home. They changed out of their uniforms and relaxed in the living room.
"It's a good thing we only work two days a week." Aquarius kicked her feet up on the coffee table.
"And we get to choose how many hours we want!" Capricorn furrowed his brow. "But were still not making that much money."
"I can't wait to tell the others what happened," said someone outside.
Aquarius glanced at the window. "I think the others just got home."
"No Libra, don't!"
"Leo has a girl friend! Leo has a girl friend!"
"No I don't Aries! That girl was crazy!"
"You're crazy too! What a cute couple!"
"You're just as crazy as I am Sagittarius!"
Aries, Leo, Virgo, Libra and Sagittarius walked through the door.
"Hey! Aquarius and Capricorn are already home," said Libra.
Sagittarius gave Capricorn a hug. "How was work?"
"Good. What about you guys?" asked Capricorn.
Virgo sighed. "We had this one customer and she was crazy."
"She had a crush on Le-"
Leo covered Aries' mouth. "THEY DON'T NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THAT!!!"
"What happened?" asked Aquarius.
"I can't wait to tell their kids of how they first met. So this girl walked into the clothing store and got a handful of clothes that barely covered anything," explained Virgo.
Aries smirked. "And she tried to get Leo's number!"
"Who has Leo's number?" asked Taurus.
Aquarius furrowed her brow. "When did you even get home?"
"Since we heard you guys talking about Leo so we snuck in quietly through the garage," replied Scorpio.
"Eavesdroppers!" said Leo.
The door opened.
"We're home!" announced Pisces.
"You'll never believe what happened!" said Libra.
Leo covered her mouth. "EVERYONE DOESN'T NEED TO KNOW!"
"It's funny!" said Sagittarius.
"Tell me!" demanded Cancer.
Virgo explained what happened. Everyone laughed except for Leo.
"Gemini must still be at work," noted Capricorn. Pisces nodded.
"Wait I have a question!" said Taurus.
"What?" asked Virgo.
"How are we rich if today was our first day working?"
"I've thought about that myself," said Cancer.
Virgo paused. "The truth is... I don't exactly know."
Aquarius furrowed her brow. "How can you not know? You're the one who's in charge of our money."
"It's a long story..." said Aries.
Scorpio's crossed his arms. "We have time."
"Tell us what you know Aries!" demanded Libra.
"Well you see..."
