Chapter 5 - Me And Your Mama

{Song:
Me And Your Mama

Pisces Pov:

Ok, I'll admit, I'm not the strongest person in the world. But this is just sad.

"Pi, I can punch stronger than you and that's really saying something." Cancer bragged, pinching my checks and laughing.

I rolled my eyes and stepped off the punching game platform, "Whatever. The game is probably rigged or something." I told her as we pushed through the crowd of people.

We were currently at a carnival playing around with all the games and 'bonding.' Or at least that's what Ophi says.

I don't think he likes us that much.

"Libra said to meet them at the food stands." Cancer shouted over the noise and looked up at me.

I furrowed my eyebrows, "Ok, what stand are they at?" I asked her as she looked back at her phone.

Waiting for a answer, I started to look around the area noticing sights and smells that only a middle class, small town carnival, would hold.

A little girl ran in front of me holding her moms hand, practically dragging her. I smiled a little as the mom rolled her eyes and went along with it.

I could smell the crappy corn dogs and Coke from the stands all the way across the park.

I heard people yelling and screaming from behind me in the haunted house.

Looking at the ground I saw trash, tickets, bracelets, rubber bands, and candy wrappers scattered on every inch of the main walkway.

Suddenly, a big roller coaster glided over me. I flinched a little before snapping out of my 5 senses phantom.

"The Wheels of Fun," Cancer said out of nowhere, squinting down at her phone and bringing it closer to her face. " I think I need glasses." She mumbled.

"What?" I looked at her confused and then remembered are earlier conversations about where Libra and the rest of the group was.

"Nothing. Now let's go before they leave." She grabbed me and guided me to the fast food truck they were at.

We only had to bump into a few people and step on a wad of gum before I realized why I don't like big crowds- or small ones for that matter.

Libras Pov:

"Good gracious, what is taking them so long?" Sag complained from beside me.

"Maybe their hurt?" Virgo said in a sense of panic.

Aquarius looked at him and rolled her eyes, "Their fine, it's not like they got taken by alien spaceships or anything." She told him jokingly.

"Oh, or maybe the government wants them for a social experiment!" Aries teased adding more fuel to the fire.

"Shut up." Capricorn ordered still smirking lightly from amusement.

I ran my fingers across my hair trying to collect myself. If you know me, you would know that I don't usually go to these kinds of places. There dirty and chaotic.

I'm more of a nice calm dinner type of person.

I just keep telling myself that this is balance and that it's good for me to get out of my comfort zone.

'A good mindset is the key to happiness'

Or at least that's what my trainer tells me.

Anyways, if you don't mind I'm going to break the forth wall here for a second and tell you what a absolute mess our evening has been.

It all started when Ophi and our trainers suggested that we spend the next few days in class and outside of class 'bonding.' And oh boy, what a mess that was.

As I have noticed, (and maybe you have too,) this group is the complete opposite of what a normal friend group looks like. And I would know. I've been in about ten friend groups in my lifetime. That's a lot.

Anyways, we're all so different from each other. The only person that I have really gotten along with here is Leo and that's only because we're both selfishly obsessed with ourselves. (No offense to Leo or anything)

But like I said, this is balance. And I guess I thought that maybe this could lead to something more then a chaotic terror.

(Now in 3rd persons Pov)

"So where are we going exactly Sag?" Capricorn asked looking back at her.

Sag smirked and looked up from her phone, "You'll see, take a left here." She directed as he turned to a road called 'Ruby Rose Lane.'

"I really hope you're not leading us to some sort of death trap." Scorpio stated looking out the window with a blank stare.

She glanced up at him, "Don't worry, it will be fun!"

"For you? Or for us?" Virgo asked raising a brow.

"Whatever. Pull in here Cap." She pointed to a entrance with a big sign reading, '50th anniversary of Sparks Carnival!'

"A carnival, really?" Capricorn said sarcastically as he found a place to park.

"Oh cmon guys, trust me! I've been to this shit show every year since I was two. It has been a total blast every single time with out fail." She waved her hands around trying to convince them.

"I'm cool with it." Aries blurted and they all turned to him, "I mean we're already here so what's the point of going back. Plus I don't know about you guys but I have a feeling that it's going to be fun!"

"Oh, so we're all just supposed to trust Aries's 'gut feeling'?" Cancer murmured rolling her eyes and he glared at her.

"Whatever, it may not be the best idea but Aries is right about one thing, we're already here so we might as well do it." Aquarius sided with them and started taking off her seatbelt.

"Thank you Aqua!" Sagittarius smiled and they did a quick little handshake that they made up on the way here.

"Yea, she's right, let's just go." Pieces agreed as he hopped out of the car gesturing that everyone else do the same.

Reluctantly, they all eventually got out of the car and headed into the carnival.

"So," Libra clapped her hands as they all looked towards her direction. "I was thinking that we could all split up into groups or something? Just to make it easier."

"That's fine with me!" Gemini jumped up out of nowhere with a huge cheeky grin on her face.

"Ok well, I'm going with you because as far I'm concerned we're both on the same page about this place." Leo uttered and walked over to Libra.

"Actually that's not a bad idea." Virgo seem to  say to himself, "Why don't we all get into pairs of who wants to do what. So for example, Aries would go with Sag and Gemini because they are all interested in the carnival and would probably be on the same page about most of the rides and activities. And maybe Pieces with Cancer, since I'm assuming neither of you are big on roller coasters. Plus, I guess Cap can go with Scorpio and-"

Taurus cut Virgo off, "Ok, we get it V." She laughed, "My group is going to be the food group. So whoever wants a sad soggy corn dog can follow me."

"I think I'll go with her." Aqua pointed to Taurus who was already half way to the concession stand.

"Ok, that settles it then." Cap said as he and Scorpio headed off into the haunted house.
