"I hope this goes well, not like last time, last time was horrible, what if. . ." Aquarius watched as Libra paced around, biting her nails.
"Relax, there are twelve games, don't expect us to be good at every single one of them" Aquarius uttered, taking sips of her coffee. "Besides. . ."
"Yes, you are, like always" Gemini yawned, he walked over to Aquarius, snatch her coffee and emptied the cup in one gulp.
"Why you fuc-"
Libra interjected both of them with a sigh, "can you not?"
"He has to brew me another coffee" Aquarius sneered, getting up, she pulled Gemini by the collar into the kitchen.
Cancer and Pisces watched as Aquarius forced Gemini to make coffee for her. "See! You should appreciate Scorpio and I, we do it willingly" Pisces whispered, handing a cup of coffee at Cancer.
"Thanks" Cancer smiled weakly.
Gemini managed to escape Aquarius, running away he almost bumped into Scorpio who was sluggishly walking in. He glared at the other male before he scoffed and paid attention back to his two mates.
----- Capricorn and Virgo buried their faces in a book about their next challenge, while Taurus whined non stop about how friendly Leo was.
"Taurus, its just so he could win" Capricorn groaned, not looking up from the book.
"Let the kid dream" Virgo jested, snickering a bit.
"Kid? I'm older than both of you" Taurus jeered. Clutching onto the pillow.
"Four months" Virgo retorted.
"Eight months" Capricorn snorted.
"Still counts" Taurus scoffed, crossing her arms.
----- "Can kangaroos fight really well?" Aries question, with a puzzled expression.
"I don't know, hit Sagittarius and find out" Leo pointed at Sagittarius who rolled over, throwing two pillows at him.
"Leave me alone, you big meanie" she frowned, throwing the third pillow, the door swung open at that moment and Mr Draco got hit instead.
He looked at the three teenagers who were casually hanging out with a displeased look. "The game is about to start" he deadpanned.
------ Soon enough their schools arrived along with the judges, the field was set for the game.
