Alt. title: Why am I trying to bring the rick-roll back

~~~

"WE'RE NO STRANGERS TO LOVE," Leo sang loudly.

"YOU KNOW THE RULES AND SO DO I!" The rest of the campers and legionaries sang along.

"Someone please tell me why we let Leo choose the song for tonight's sing-along." Scorpio groaned.

Sagittarius laughed. "It's certainly a bit different than what you usually sing."

Scorpio sighed. "I used to get rick-rolled all the time at school."

"I was usually the one who rick-rolled people." Sagittarius told him.

"It's bad enough that the song is stuck in my head." He grumbled.

Sagittarius chuckled. "Just let it be. Embrace the rick-rolling."

He looked at her from the corner of his eye. "Oh, so you think you're funny, do you."

"Maybe." She said playfully, shouting out the next line of the song that the campers and legionaries were singing. "NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP!"

"NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN!" sang Leo and the rest of the campers and legionaries.

"NEVER GONNA RUN AROUND AND DESERT YOU!" Everyone except Scorpio sang.

"NEVER GONNA MAKE YOU CRY!

"NEVER GONNA SAY GOODBYE!"

"Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you." Scorpio sang softly, but loud enough that everyone could hear.

Sagittarius playfully nudged him. "See? It doesn't hurt to sing along!"

"Whatever." Scorpio rolled his eyes.

"Do you guys do this all the time?" Virgo, who was sitting nearby, asked.

"Not always." Capricorn told him. "But this is fun!"

"I didn't know Capricorn was a fun-loving person." Pisces said.

Capricorn grinned. "I used to be able to play this song on my piano at home. That was until..." She paused, thinking about her grim past.

Taurus leaned over and gave Capricorn a pat on the shoulder. "Cheer up, Cappy. Let's enjoy ourselves."

"Inside we both know what's been going on," Leo sang, pretending to use a branch as a microphone, then passing the branch microphone to Aries.

Aries looked confused for a moment, before adding, "We know the game and we're gonna play it!" Aries passed the branch to Libra.

"And if you ask me how I'm feeling," Libra sang, passing on the branch to Gemini.

"Don't tell me you're too blind to see!" sang Gemini, throwing the branch into the air, watching as it fell back at Leo's feet.

At that moment, all the campers and legionaries starting singing together.

"NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP!

"NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN!

"NEVER GONNA RUN AROUND AND DESERT YOU!

"NEVER GONNA MAKE YOU CRY!

"NEVER GONNA SAY GOODBYE!

"NEVER GONNA TELL A LIE AND HURT YOU!"

"I thought you Romans were supposed to be serious and stuff." Cancer remarked.

"I guess we are most of the time." Aquarius shrugged. "But that doesn't mean we dislike fun in general."
