Kindergarten (Flashback)
A few days passed. It was the day before they planned to drive to Florida and everyone was so excited they didn't know what to do. They all sat in the living room watching tv.
"Do you guys remember kindergarten?" asked Aquarius.
Capricorn shrugged. "Not really."
"I do!" shouted Leo.
In kindergarten, all the zodiacs were in the same class. They were all friends. In first grade, Pisces moved away with her parents. Years later when Pisces first moved into the mansion, she didn't know the zodiacs were her friends from kindergarten because she has bad memory and forgot the names of her old class mates. Later on she realized who the zodiacs were and was glad she chose to live in the mansion.
"Who remembers the day when it was really sunny outside and the teacher told us we had to listen to her read a story instead of playing outside?" asked Scorpio.
"ME!" Shouted everyone at the same time. Then everyone thought about that day...
***
The teacher sat down in a chair at the front of the class. She had long orange hair and green eyes.
"Okay kids, it's story time!"
"Teacher, will you marry me?" asked Gemini.
"Sorry Gemini, you're too young."
"Aww..."
"Anyway, today's story will be about a puppy who learns a very important lesson."
Aries looked out the window. "Teacher, can we play outside?"
"No, not today. Now everyone come and sit on these mats here while I read you a nice story." Everyone walked over and sat down.
"But the sun is so warm today," said Sagittarius. When Sagittarius was in kindergarten, her hair was long.
"Please don't ask again. Now... Once upon a time there was a puppy named spots."
Aries crossed her arms. "Spots is a boring name!"
"Aries, please don't cause trouble," warned the teacher. "Pisces, put away your drawing book please." Pisces sighed and put her note book full of scribbles on a table.
"I love the name Spots!" said Taurus.
"Taurus and Leo, it's not snack time yet. Please put away your chocolate; Sagittarius, stop making funny faces at Aquarius; Libra, stop playing with your hair. Cancer, stop grinning like that. Remember if you don't listen your name goes on the naughty board."
"I'm just twirling it around my finger!" argued Libra.
"Well, don't."
"I'm just smiling!" argued Cancer.
"You don't need to grin like that. Just smile like this," then the teacher made a lovely smile.
"Like this?" Cancer clenched his teeth together and opened his mouth wide. The teacher sighed.
Virgo looked around the room. "Teacher! Scorpio isn't here!" tattled Virgo. The teacher looked at Scorpio hiding in the corner.
"Scorpio, come join us please."
"No. I don't wanna."
"If you be good I'll give you guys some colouring sheets about Spots afterwards." Scorpio walked over.
Pisces grinned. "I love colouring!"
"Teacher, my spot is sticky." There was glue all over the spot where Capricorn as sitting.
"Who tried to glue Capricorn to his spot?" asked the teacher. Aquarius tossed the glue to Leo.
"I saw that. Go sit in the corner." Aquarius walked in the corner where the teacher was pointing. "Anyways, I'll continue reading."
"Please no."
"Aries, if you interrupt me again you'll join Aquarius in the corner."
"You're mean. I wish mommy was here, she'd tell you to be nice to me."
"That's it. In the corner!" Aries walked over and sat by Aquarius.
The teacher continued reading the story. "One day Spots found a bone, he loved bones!"
"No way!" said Gemini sarcastically.
"Be good. I don't want to send anyone else in the corner!"
"How much longer until recess?" asked Gemini.
"You can have a snack AFTER I finish this story!"
"I don't like dogs! Or bones! Or stories! I wanna go home!"
"That's it join your friends in the corner! Now is everyone else going to behave? If not walk over to the bad corner now." Then Gemini and Sagittarius (since she didn't plan on behaving) got up and went to the corner. "Why is it the same people always misbehave?" asked the teacher.
"Why are you so mean?" asked Aquarius. Then the teacher wrote Aquarius on the naughty board.
"Write my name too. I don't plan on behaving," said Sagittarius.
The teacher sighed and continued reading. The zodiacs in the bad corner were whispering. Taurus and Scorpio were making a handshake when the teacher wasn't watching; Cancer, Pisces, and Virgo were very interested in the story and were listening carefully. Leo kept whispering jokes to Libra about the book and Capricorn was hoping no one noticed the (very noticeable) glue all over his pants.
Aries, Gemini, Aquarius and Sagittarius snuck out the open window. Capricorn laughed because he found it funny.
"What's so funny Capricorn?" asked the teacher.
"Nothing!" Then she noticed the bad corner was empty.
"CRAP!" She threw the book down and looked out the open window.
"Teacher said a bad word!" gasped Virgo. Cancer picked up the book and kept trying to read. The teacher wrote Aries, Gemini and Sagittarius on the naughty board.
"Say seated. No one move." The teacher ran to the office.
***
All four zodiacs ran to the playground. Aries and Sagittarius were swinging on the swings while Gemini went on a slide. Aquarius was starting to feel guilty so she climbed back into the not-so-high window. About two minutes later, they saw the principal walk towards them. Gemini tried to run as the principal took Aries and Sagittarius by the hands and pulled them back inside. Gemini laughed at them and started to play.
A minute later, the principal returned and took Gemini back inside to the office and told him to sit in a chair beside Aries and Sagittarius while she called their parents. Later on, all three of them got picked up by their moms.
The teacher erased Aquarius from the naughty board since she said sorry and came back inside. Then she finished reading the story and gave everyone colouring sheets. Virgo and Libra were trying to make the puppy pretty by colouring its paws pink giving it "nail polish" and filling in red lips on the dog, Taurus, Scorpio, Leo and Aquarius were scribbling everywhere while Pisces, Cancer, and Capricorn were actually trying their best. Then the teacher let them eat a snack.
Everyone got their lunch bags and started eating the food their parents packed them. Then the teacher made a puppet show to entertain the kids while they ate. Except for Virgo, she was scared of puppets so she wasn't watching. After everyone was done eating the teacher turned on a movie about Spots the dog. The kindergarten classroom had it's own tv because the kids watched movies a lot to help them learn. Although a few kids were getting tired of hearing the name Spots. After the short movie, the kids went home on the school bus.

Back at the mansion the zodiacs were talking again.
"Those were fun times!" said Libra.
Aries sighed. "That teacher was a bitch."
"Only because you always got in trouble," said Gemini.
"Gemini you got in as much trouble as she did," said Cancer.
Sagittarius laughed. "I was a bad kid back then."
"Are you sure that you're completely innocent now?" asked Taurus.
"Saggi is never innocent," sighed Capricorn.
Leo yawned. "Life was simple when our only worries were not being allowed to play outside."
"Make sure you have all your stuff packed and ready for our vacation tomorrow," said Virgo.
"Woo hoo! Yay Florida!" cheered Pisces. Then everyone got ready because they had to get up early in the morning.
