Aqua gazed at the various weapons before her, they all look dangerous and they all looked deadly. "We don't have all day." Libra growled and tapped her foot impatiently.

Aquarius was about say something but then remembered the consequences and kept her mouth shut. She laid her eyes upon a very simple weapon, it looked worthless.

She placed her hand on the weapon, it was a steel pole about the length of her entire body, it also could retract small enough to fit into her pocket. "I choose this one." She said smiling and twirling it around in her hand.

"Psh, what a dumb choice. You chose that over all the other glorious weapons here?" Libra laughed.

"It may be simple but it gives me lots of different ways to modify it according to my taste." Aqua twirled it again behind her back, it came to her naturally.

"Ok let's see, you, go fight her." She pointed at Sagittarius.

"My pleasure." He cracked his knuckles and smirked, his gold eyes seemed to glow brighter.

"GO BIG BROTHER!" Cancer shouted from the sidelines.

"Don't expect me to go easy on you, just because you're new." He shifted his weight back and forth between each leg. Aquarius was scared she wasn't going to lie, but at least she had something to defend herself with.

She raised her pole in front of her, it gleamed in the sunlight.

"Bring it on." She said with a pause between each word. Sag smirked and launched a sidekick aimed for her gut.

Aqua spun to the side and brought the pole down on his leg. "Shit!" Sag cried in pain. He backed away a little, dragging his leg along with him. Aqua shrunk her pole down to its pocket size and held it in her hand.

"Had enough?" She taunted.

Sag answered with a growl and lunged as he punched a lightning fast punch. Aqua predicted he would do that since she disabled his leg. She ducked and with a push of the button on her pole, it extended as fast as his punch and jabbed him in the neck.

Sag choked and coughed as he backed away almost entirely. "Stupid pole!" He yelled.

"Stand down Sagittarius." Libra warned.

"I stand corrected, looks like that's your kind of weapon." She actually smiled for the first time, it fit her face perfectly.

"Nice!" Taurus bounded to her with his machetes in his hand.

"Hey, watch where you swing those." Aquarius warned.

"Right, I forgot." Taurus laughed and his cheeks reddened. Everyone else was gone.

"Geez, looks like I have to clean this up." He ran his hands through his dark brown hair, ruffling it in the cutest manner.

"I'll help." Aqua offered.

"Really?! THANKS." Taurus smiled and hugged her tightly, he smelled of potato chips, which satisfied Aqua's nose. It took about an hour to clean up, and it was almost dark.

"Thanks again, let me treat you to dinner, I know all the best restaurants in town." Taurus said with a goofy smile on his face.

"Sure, let me just clean up, meet you in an hour?" Aqua smiled.

"Sure, let's meet at the fountain, it's in the square." Taurus pointed to the right, people were shuffling around.

Aqua nodded and went back to her dorm. When she walked in she heard the shower running and decided to take the time to pick out an outfit. Virgo lent a couple dresses she bought near the girls dorm for her this morning.

Aqua decided to wear a fitted casual dress, it had a black base with a variety of flowers to decorate, the top near her shoulder to the top on her bust was all black net. Aqua heard the door open behind her and she whirled around a bit too fast "it's about time I have to get ready....to...go...somewhere." Her words slowed as she gulped.

Aries had a towel slung low across his hips, his tensed stomach tightened ever more. Aquarius tried not to look at his stomach, but it took much effort to keep her focus on his eyes. She felt the blush rise and turned away and covered her face. Damn damn damn damn. She repeated in her head.

It was suddenly hot in here. Aries smirked and looked amused at Aqua's reaction. He stepped slowly until he was behind her. He placed a hand on her shoulder and squeezed lightly.

Aquarius jumped at his touch, it sent sparks flying across her skin, making her shiver. He bent over until his face was near her neck, his body was touching her back, she could feel the stray droplets of water from his chest and hair dripping onto her.

"Like what you see?" He whispered.

The accent he had made him seem more attractive by the moment. From the corner of her eye she could see that he had shaved, his chin was smooth, and he smelled of strong aftershave that burned her nose. The shave made him look much younger and Aquarius wasn't sure if she'd live to see tomorrow with this guy as her roommate.

"Do you want me to stop?" He asked nicely his warm breath felt like lava as he leaned in closer. She couldn't speak, truthfully, she didn't want him to stop.

"Well then, I can see dirty things crossing your mind as I speak." He laughed deeply.

She felt her blush rise, it was now visible on her tan skin. He traced his finger up Aqua's arm, sending shivers down her spine. He nuzzled his face into her neck, his breath picking up as he slowly dug his face into her neck.

A small groan escaped Aqua's lips. Aqua had to go now to meet Taurus but she was frozen. He gave a small lick on her neck. Aqua jumped slightly at the satisfying feeling.

"This is why. I don't have a girl has a roommate." He chuckled.

He stopped and backed away, he knew she was starting to feel uncomfortable and stopped right away, Aqua admired that about him. She took a deep breath. "Try not to look." She heard him say. She heard shuffling and scuffling.

"Ok I'm good." He jumped on his bed and put on his headphones and browsed on his computer. She grabbed her clothes and rushed to the bathroom, it was still warm from his shower. She couldn't believe that just happened.

She took a long shower and put her clothes on after, with only 10 minutes to spare. She left the bathroom, rubbing her towel against her wet hair. Her dress fit her perfectly, her slender waist was accentuated by the small belt that wrapped around her. Aries looked up at her and smiled.

Aqua managed to blush once again as she turned around to comb her hair. After another five minutes she looked perfect.

"Have fun on your date." Aries laughed as she left the room. She ran and made it to the fountain right on time, and of course Taurus wasn't here. She waited another ten minutes.

He came sprinting and panting down the street. "I'm sorry there was a really long line for these." He held out a bunch of colorful flowers and chocolates. Aqua smiled "thanks." She felt safe around him. Taurus was in a baseball tee with tan pants, he looked adorable.

"You look great!" He complimented, while letting out a goofy grin.

"So when are we eating I'm starving!" Aqua glanced at him.

"Glad you asked." Taurus raised an eyebrow.
