[wow Scorpio and Leo are hard to pair but I'll try my best]
"Wahhhh! Did you see the notice board? The audition sign-up sheet for the talent show is up now!" Cancer said. The nerd and geek squad were hanging out at their lunch table.
"Not really my style," Capricorn replied, fixing a toy car that was needed for some chemical powered car thing.
"Hey Scorpio! Why don't you try out for it? It would boost your confidence and I can think of plenty of things that you're good at," Virgo said.
"Excuse me? Me, in a talent show = rotten tomatoes thrown at me," Scorpio said, and continued munching on her cheese bun.
"I mean... It is possible for you to try out... wouldn't it?" Pisces said.
Scorpio thought for a moment and said, "Yeah... Why not?"
Scorpio left the table and went to the notice board. She filled her name in and put her position as 'Emcee' and left.
-----------
Secretly spying on Scorpio was Leo... Who ALSO wanted to join the talent show but was afraid no one would appreciate his performance.
He peeked at the sign up sheet, and saw that Scorpio had signed up for MC.
The maximum amount of MCs in a show should be two. I'll steal the second spot! Leo thought.
He then placed his name under Scorpio's.
-------------
Audition day!
Scorpio headed to the venue with Cancer, who wanted to show off her "cat-whispering skill".
Scorpio's queue number was 21 and she realised she was sharing the number with another person signing up for MC, who was Leo.
When it was their turn to go inside the interview room, Scorpio was attacked with flipping stomachs and sweaty palms.
"You okay?" Leo asked.
"Uh, yeah, I'm fine. Just a little nervous." Scorpio said.
"Don't worry, you have me by your side, we'll get through this," Leo smiled.
Scorpio returned a nod with a slight smile.
(Because all Scorpio could manage was a small smile and if she showed any more expressions she would explode into a bundle of nervous nerves)
They headed into the interview room, one confident, one nervous.
--------------
"How was the audition?" Cancer asked.
"Surprisingly, it wasn't that bad. Leo knew how to talk and I followed suit. I really need to thank him for this." Scorpio replied.
"Glad to know," Cancer replied.
--------------
The day of the talent show arrived. Scorpio was all pumped and was ready to take the stage. She knew Leo would be there so she felt at ease.
"Leo! You're all ready for this, right?" Scorpio asked.
Leo nodded, feeling confident.
And they bounced up the stage.
-------------
"Hi there school! Good afternoon principal, vice-principal, teachers and y'all!" Scorpio waved at the crowd while feeling the adrenaline rush through her.
"Are you ready for the TALENT SHOW?!" Scorpio heard Leo say.
The crowd cheered loudly, like a pack of howling wolves.
"Well we're your MCs, I'm Scorpio," Scorpio said.
"And I'm Leo!" Leo finished the sentence.
The school cheered once again.
"All of you here want to see your friends perform, right?" Scorpio said.
"YES!" The crowed replied.
"Of course you do. First up, we have Cancer, amazing you with her wonderful cat whispering techniques!"
-------------
Once backstage, Scorpio asked, "Leo! How was it?"
"It was really fun! I like the noise," he replied.
-------------
One of the segments part of the show was, "let the ship set sail", which showcases students being shipped together.
Both Scorpio and Leo were worried about this part, since this was the segment with the most lines. They went on stage.
"Aaaaaand now... It's time for... "LET THE SHIP SAIL!" Scorpio said.
"We have all our chosen ships showcased here. Let's see who will be shipped with their crush~" Leo teased.
The crowd started getting noisier, and there was a lot of giggling.
--------------
"And... This is our last ship for today!" Leo announced.
And guess what the last ship was?
"It is... Scorpio and Leo...?" Scorpio's voice trailed off as she turned to look at the screen.
"We're shipped together?" Leo asked.
"Well apparently we are," Scorpio replied.
"Alrighty then," Leo said and pulled Scorpio into a hug and nuzzled his face against her neck.
The school, once quiet, erupted into screams of many levels and some could be heard saying, "THE SHIP HAS SAILED THE SHIP HAS SAILED."
Scorpio's face softened and hugged Leo back.
The volume got louder when Scorpio hugged back.
"Scorpio... Have I told you... I really like you?"
----------------
Wow it was really tough writing this one. Hope you like it though, because this was a really really random idea that I thought of before when I was writing my oneshots in another book which I've deleted. Although this one is more refined.
Well, more to come soon!
