Dying Advice for Fabric Softener

"Come here!" I did an exaggerated 'come here' gesture to make sure he could see it. I saw him sigh and swam over to the dock. He pulled himself up, so he was now leaning on the platform.

"What do you want?"

"Advice."

"Well, you could shut your mouth every once in a while." He chuckled lightly at his pathetic remark.

"I wasn't talking about that advice you bastard."

"Then what 'advice' do you need?"

"Aries advice."

"He needs to floss."

"Shut up! Don't talk about him like that! He's perfect! You don't even know what perfection is if you don't see it in him!"

"Calm down. Do you want my advice or not?"

He's kinda rude. Along with hot-tempered and a possible druggie. But he's all you have Gem. He's the one that can help you understand your crush more and probably even hook you two up. He's kinda like a wingman. And what wingman isn't a possible druggie?

"Sure. I really need your advice."

"Mmm-kay. I'll give you my advice for a price."

"Did you just rhyme?"

"Shut up."

"Anyway. What's your 'price'?"

"I'll get you together with Aries and you get Cap to stay away from Taurus."

"You like her," I cooed in a sing-songy way.

"No. I. Don't."

"Then why to you want Cap away from her?"

"H-he...ummm...he's, uh, a pedo."

"A pedo. Really?"

"Yep."

"What makes him a pedo?"

"She's 15 and he's 17."

"Aren't you 17?"

"Gotta blast." Before I could respond, I felt the breeze from him running past me. I shook my head and laughed to myself.

"That flaky bitch."

Virgo's POV

Cancer, Sag, Leo, Aqua, and I were attempting to do the impossible: Going across the monkey bars. For me it was weird. Since I'm like 6'2, my feet were about two inches off of the ground. Aqua, being 5'11, was in the same boat as me. Cancer was short, so he was a decent height off the ground.

There was mud under the monkey bars, but no of us got dirty until Leo decided to do tribal paint. She dipped her hands in the mud and left her prints on our shirts. And then Sag chucked some mud at Leo, which ensued a mud war.

After it finished, we all took showers and I decided to take the liberty of washing our clothes to get the stains out. I probably offered because I really like cleaning in general. 

I had to head to the cabin, so I could get fabric softener. And yes, I brought fabric softener to summer camp. I walked through the door to see my sister and Capricorn on his bed together. It wasn't inappropriate. It was just Taur laying her legs over Capricorn's lap with him blushing like an idiot.

And I thought hanging upside down was the only way to get blood to rush to your head. Turns out a platonic way of sitting works just as well.

"What are you two doing?" I asked.

"Nothing."

"You sure it's nothing? Looks like you're trying to get your lips on my sister."

"We were just_"

"He's just messing with you Cap," Taurus reassured the shaky brunette.

"Affirmative," I added. "My only advice is to keep your dick in your pants. Follow that and I won't kill you."

"I promise I won't have sex with your sister."

"Woah there bud! I didn't say anything about sex. I said keep your dick in your pants. That includes no flashing her. We don't want to ruin her pure eyes, now do we?"

"Virgo, my eyes aren't that pure," Taurus interrupted. I pressed my finger on her lips and attempted to shush her. "Virgo, can you leave? We were doing something."

"Something like what? Taurus, you're fifteen, you cannot afford to be pregnant."

"We weren't going to have sex. We were just going to kiss to see if we feel anything. And we were hoping to...be...alone!" She attempted pushing me out of the door between every pause. "Can you please go away?"

"Alright. Let me tell you one last thing."

"And what is that?"

"Aries keeps condoms in the top drawer of the night stand," I teased.

"Leave!" Taurus pushed me playfully out of the door frame. She slammed the screen door behind her, making it obvious that she wanted privacy. I was on my way back to the laundry room, until I realized I forgot what I needed.

I could've slipped quietly back into the cabin, but where's the fun in that. I made sure to make as much noise as possible by slamming the door shut and flopping my feet onto the floor.

"You're literally the worst," Taurus remarked.

"I love you too sis." I ruffled her hair before going out the door with my unusually large bottle of fabric softener.

Will Virgo get the mud stains out?

Why is it so difficult to climb monkey bars?

Will Gem stop calling Scorpio Scorpy?

And what is the new ship the Shipping Crusaders will pull together?

The answers may be revealed on the next chapters of Zodiac Camp!
