Taurus walked down the hall happily until someone yelled her name from behind her. She turned around quickly only to see Aquarius running up to her. He stopped, panting.
"Hey...." pant. "Important.... question... need to ask..." Aquarius panted.
"Are you okay?" Taurus raised a brow.
"Ran up... flight.... stairs..." panted Aquarius.
"Alright then. What's the question?" Taurus asked him.
"Huh?" He looked up at her. "Oh, yeah. Would you wanna grab dinner with me today after school?"
Taurus flushed red. Like, redder than Aries' hair. "Like, on a date?"
"Well, I was, um, I was hoping so," Aquarius nervously shifted in his spot.
"Well, uh, I think," Taurus bit her lip. "I think that sounds great."
"That's fine, it was a- wait did you just say yes?" Aquarius looked at her, shocked.
"Yes, I did." Taurus played with her hair.
Aquarius grinned. "Okay, I'll pick you up at six?"
Taurus nodded. "Sounds great. See you soon."
"Uh, yeah!" Aquarius yelled, skipping down the hall.
Libra was in the crowd of students as a wave of people passed her by. She stood with her mouth wide open. Did that just happen? Did Aquarius just ask Taurus out? She had to find out more. And she knew just the person to help her with that.

"No."
"What?" Libra asked. "C'mon, Virgo. I need your help."
"I am not helping you stalk our best friends." Virgo grabbed her lunch and sat down.
"But its for a good cause!" Libra protested.
"And what is that cause?" Virgo inquired.
"Knowledge!" Libra explained poorly.
"We are not going to stalk them just because you realized you're crushing on Aquarius and realized way too late," Virgo sighed. "Listen, why don't you just ask them about it."
"Are you kidding? That would ruin my whole plan!" Libra exclaimed.
"Which would be easier if you took my advice?" Virgo rolled her eyes.
"Please? I just wanna know how it goes without awkwardly saying I overheard them." Libra pleaded and gave Virgo puppy dog eyes.
"Fine. Any idea where they're going?" Virgo asked.
"Nope. We can just follow them." Libra grinned happily.
Virgo sighed. This would be a long night.

Gem, Leo, Nye, and Capricorn were all getting ice cream at a local place.
"A week until Halloween," Gem mentioned, licking her ice cream.
"What are you guys dressing up as?" Leo asked.
"A mummy," Nye shrugged.
"I'm going as my true form. A goddess." Gem batted her eyelashes.
"I'm going as a sheep," Capricorn announced.
"Why?" Leo asked after a moment of silence.
"I lost a bet to Sagittarius." Capricorn took another lick of his ice cream.
