Last day of summer
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" screamed Leo.
Libra was in the living room, watching tv with everyone else. "What's wrong?"
"SCHOOL STARTS TOMORROW."
"Leo you're giving me a headache," said Virgo.
"Sorry. We must make our last day of freedom a day to remember!" announced Leo.
Aries furrowed her brow. "I like school. Wait, I just like pranking the teachers."
Gemini smirked. "I guess I'll see you in detention this year too?"
"What do they do to get detention?" asked Pisces.
"They piss off all the teachers that they don't like. That's all I'm going to say," said Leo.
"Look who's talking," said Libra.
Leo put up his hands innocently.
"Anyway, I agree. Let's have fun on our last day before school," said Aquarius.
"But what should we do?" asked Taurus.
Scorpio grinned. "Beach!"
"No. Next idea?" asked Virgo.
"Sky diving!" suggested Pisces.
Sagittarius grinned. "Great idea!"
"No freaking way," said Libra.
"I agree with Libra, I'm not doing that!" protested Capricorn.
Gemini shrugged. "We could prank the elementary school."
"Yeah, if you want to end up in jail," said Cancer.
"We could kidnap Libra and force her to go skydiving," suggested Leo.
"I'm surrounded by idiots... Crap did I say that out loud?" asked Virgo. Everyone nodded.
Taurus paused to think. "How about we have a water gun fight? We can go to the park so we can refill our water guns at the fountain and if you get sprayed you have to play dead."
"Finally someone with a good idea. You guys could learn something from him," said Virgo.
"And when you're dead, you can haunt everyone else," added Taurus.
Virgo face palmed. "Never mind."
Capricorn nodded. "That's a good idea, without the haunting."
"Water fight!" cheered Scorpio who ran out to the garage to get his water gun. Everyone else followed.
***
Everyone arrived at the park.
"Alright!" announced Virgo. "The fountain will be- wait a minute! Why does everyone have sunglasses but me?"
"Because I gave everyone else sunglasses," replied Taurus.
"Why?"
"I had ten extra pairs." Taurus squirted water at her face.
"Alright fine. As I was saying, the fountain will be our meeting place. If you get hit by water, drop to the ground," explained Virgo.
"Yeah, yeah you told us," said Cancer.
"3... 2... 1... Go!" yelled Aquarius who took off running right away. Then everyone else ran in different directions.
***
Gemini was running. Then he decided to hide under a tree. He sat there for a while until he heard something.
"DROP YOUR WEAPON! You can either team with me or get shot right here," declared Aries.
Gemini looked up and saw Aries in the tree. Damn! She outsmarted me! Gemini dropped his water gun. "I wanted to team with you anyway."
"Alright then climb up here with me." Gemini tossed his gun to Aries and climbed up the tree and sat beside her. Aries gave him back his water gun. Then he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him. Aries smiled.
***
Capricorn was hiding in the forest. He was getting ready to get up, when he saw Sagittarius slowly walking towards him. He was going to ask if she wanted to team but the look on her face told him she was getting ready to shoot. Oh Sagittarius! You never fail to surprise me, but I bet you won't see this coming. He started running.
As he ran, he tripped over a large tree branch and fell down. "Ow my foot, it hurts!"
Sagittarius dropped her water gun and ran over to Capricorn. "Capri? Are you okay? Can you move your foot?"
"No I think I broke it. It really-" Then he quickly got his water gun and squirted Sagittarius.
"I can NOT believe I fell for that."
"Sorry about that."
"We're even. I'm sorry for this."
"What are you sorry for? Also you're supposed to be playing dead."
"You're right. You just shot me." Sagittarius screamed at the top of her lungs and fell down. Capricorn's smile faded as he realized what she was doing. He got up to run away but Cancer came running and shot him with water.
Capricorn dropped down and faced Sagittarius who was laughing. "What was that for?"
"Now we can play dead together. If I have to fake die, you're coming with me."
"Damn."
***
Virgo was hiding behind a bush in the flower garden. She was sitting there until she heard a branch snap. She turned around and saw Taurus hiding behind a bush as well. He looked at her. Then they both held their water guns up at each other. They weren't close enough to shoot the other person. They both just looked at each other and slowly walked forward.
"Duck," ordered Taurus.
Virgo ducked and Taurus shot Cancer.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" screamed Cancer dramatically. Then he played dead.
"Want to team?" asked Taurus.
"Why should I trust you?" asked Virgo.
Taurus shrugged. "Your choice." He started to walk away.
"WAIT! I'll team with you, but if you betray me I'll get Aries and Gemini to help me prank you."
"Fine."
***
Leo was walking around looking for people.
"Oh Libra... come out, come out wherever you are!" He was trying to find his best friend. Then he kept walking.
After a few minutes, Leo sat down under a tree and put his gun down. Then he ate a handful of blueberries he found. When he got up, he noticed the grass under his water gun was wet. Oh well. Leo started walking again.
"Any last words?" asked Libra.
Leo turned around. "Yes, I'd like to say-" Libra laughed as no water came out of Leo's water gun. "What the hell?!?"
"When you took a break by that tree I came along and poured all the water out."
"Oh crap." Leo started to run, but then Libra shot him in the back.
"Libra... I can't believe it was you. I was your best friend and you repay me by killing me." Leo wiped an imaginary tear from his face. "All this time I thought I could trust you, I thought we'd be best friends forever. I wish I had more time... I wish I could-"
"Shut up and die already." Libra shot him again.
"Fine." Leo played dead. Libra walked over and laughed as she took a bag of raspberries from Leo.
***
Aquarius was hiding and waiting until there was only a few people left. After a while she decided to climb a tree. When she got almost to the top, she looked up and saw Aries and Gemini pointing their water guns at her.
"Want to join our team?" asked Aries.
Aquarius looked down and thought of something. "No thanks." She jumped down onto a lower branch, avoiding the water that Aries and Gemini shot at her. Then she swung back onto the ground and ran away as fast as she could.
"Should we chase her?" asked Aries.
"I'd rather sit up here and enjoy the view with someone as pretty as nature itself," replied Gemini.
"Cheesy." Aries pointed a water gun at him.
"If you shoot me then I can't do this." Gemini leaned in to kiss Aries.
"Fine! I suppose I'll keep you alive, for now."
***
Libra was by the fountain reloading her water gun. Then she saw Virgo trying to sneak up on her.
"I see you." Libra tried to shoot Virgo, but she jumped out of the way. Then Taurus shot Libra in the back.
Pisces came along and shot Taurus. Virgo got up and tried to shoot Pisces, but Pisces was too quick.
"Darn she got away!" said Virgo.
Libra sighed. "At least I lasted this long."
"Shhhhh! Dead people don't talk," hushed Taurus.
"You shouldn't be talking either," said Virgo. Then she ran off to find Pisces.
***
Aquarius was hiding in the bushes. She heard someone coming. She waited for them to walk into her trap. She found a piece of string so she tied it really low between two trees. Then Scorpio ran by and noticed the string. He quickly looked around. Then he saw a water gun in the bushes. Aquarius tried to shoot him but he dodged and shot her.
"OH NO! I'VE BEEN SHOT! SOMEONE HELP ME!" yelled Aquarius dramatically. Scorpio ran before anyone found him.
***
Pisces was walking by when she heard something above her. She looked up. Aries and Gemini were too busy tormenting each other to notice her.
"Aries and Gemini sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love, then comes marriage then comes the baby in the baby carriage."
Aries and Gemini both looked down and noticed Pisces.
"Let's get her," said Aries.
Aries and Gemini climbed down the tree. Pisces turned around to run and ran into Virgo. Aries and Gemini stopped. Virgo didn't notice them in the tree. Then Virgo and Pisces shot each other at the same time.
"Well, that worked out fine," said Gemini.
***
Scorpio was walking when he heard something in a tree. He walked over and slowly climbed up. As he climbed he noticed that there were rocks caught up in the branches. Wait! Thought Scorpio. The noise I heard was probably someone throwing rocks up here. But that means-
"Look down," said Aries. Then Aries and Gemini shot at Scorpio at the same time. Scorpio jumped down, missing the water. He cringed as he landed on his knees, and shot both Aries and Gemini.
"GAME OVER!" screamed Gemini.
"Are you alright?" asked Aries.
Scorpio's checked his knees. They were bruised, but he could walk on them.
The zodiacs then went home and got ready for school the next morning.
