The Great Canoe Race Pt.1

Cancer's POV

Hydra wanted us to have a canoe race. Since she made the rules, we had no other choice. Then she had us in assigned duos. I was with Libra. I have no problem working with her. She's great, levelheaded, and knows how to not tip a canoe over unlike Aqua and Leo.

"You want me to take a few pictures of you right now?" She asked. "I think this is good lighting."

"Sure." I turned around and smiled. She snapped the picture and the Polaroid came out. She shook the picture and then slipped it into one the sheet protectors of her scrapbook.

"Just so it won't mess up if we manage tipping the canoe over."

"Okay."

My mind began to wander off with the thoughts of Olive Garden. Mainly the garlic breadsticks. My stomach decided to demonstrate the mating call of a whale, causing me a lot of embarrassment. I was expecting her to be grossed out, but there was just giggling.

"Are you hungry?"

"Yea. I could really go for some Olive Garden right now."

"Eww. You like that stuff?" I felt somewhat embarrassed. Do cool kids not like Olive Garden anymore? Has sushi taken over everything?

"Y-yea," I stuttered.

"I'm sorry. I may just be slightly biased. I'm Italian, so I grew up with authentic Italian food."

"Oh, I understand now."

"Maybe I should make you some one day."

"What if I get hooked on it and I can't go back to Olive Garden?"

"My grandmother can invite you over for dinner. She just likes to cook."

"Where does she live?"

"Meadowsburg."

"I live about twenty minutes away."

"Where are you from?"

"Janesville."

"Well, that's really convenient."

"It really is. Anyway, do you speak Italian?"

"So parlare un po Italiano."

"I don't know what that means."

"I speak a little bit of Italian. And I can tell you that Prego is you're welcome."

"That's one snarky sauce."

"I know right."

Leo's POV

"Nice swim trunks," I complimented the burger printed swimwear.

"Was that sarcasm?"

"No."

"Then I like your unicorns."

"Thank you."
