"How much further?" asked Cancer.

"Hmm... Another while." Pisces held the map like it was a precious baby.

"I hope the rain waits for us to get back," announced Scorpio.

"Yeah," agreed Pisces.

"It's starting to get dark out, we should head home soon," suggested Cancer.

"No way! We need to find that treasure first," said Pisces.

Scorpio nodded. "We didn't come all this way for nothing."

"Yeah whatever. But we'll all be cold if we're stuck here at night in the rain," said Cancer.

Scorpio sighed. "That won't happen."

"Are you sure?" asked Cancer.

"Hey guys. Let's start running so we can get there faster. Race you guys there!" Pisces started running. Scorpio and Cancer chased after her.

"Where's the water signs?" asked Virgo.

"I don't know," replied Aquarius from the kitchen. Then they heard a scream that was cut short by someone covering their mouth.

"What's going on in that kitchen?" asked Gemini.

"Aquarius, Taurus and Capricorn. What are you up to?" asked Libra.

"Oh nothing," replied Taurus.

"We're making snacks," replied Capricorn.

"Has anyone seen Leo?" asked Sagittarius.

"Oh. That's what they're doing in the kitchen," said Aries.

Virgo walked into the kitchen and saw Leo taped to the wall with Aquarius, Taurus and Capricorn laughing and adding more tape. "What did he do?"

"He buried a box full of bugs. He knows I hate bugs," replied Aquarius. Leo started to panic and tried to break out when Taurus took off Leo's shoes and started to tickle his feet. Then all the other zodiacs came in to watch. Aries and Sagittarius were on the floor laughing so hard.

"Wow you managed to get caught," snorted Libra.

"Tickle, tickle, tickle." Capricorn tickled Leo's other foot with Taurus. Leo was trying to scream but his mouth was covered in tape.

"Hey Leo. Smile." Aquarius took a picture.

"Guys that's not fair. You need to tickle his stomach too." Gemini as he ran over and joined in.

"It looks like he's being tortured," laughed Libra.

"Haha Leo got caught," tormented Aries.

"He's gonna kill us later," laughed Sagittarius. Then they decided to use this opportunity to bake while Leo can't eat the cake batter. But what they didn't know was that Aries and Sagittarius were glad to take his place as the cake batter eaters.

Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer took a break to eat and drink.

"So tired," panted Pisces.

"I know right! I'm exhausted," agreed Scorpio.

"Yeah. Too bad we only have a few snacks though, I'm starving." Cancer looked through his snack bag.

"Here." Pisces passed Cancer a bag of chips.

"What if the key opens the box and there's just like a five dollar bill?" asked Scorpio.
