"Stella? Callisto? What are you doing here?" Scorpio asked. "How did you get here?"
"We have our ways," Stella said.
"Oh. It's just Scorpio's siblings," Cancer said.
"I think I'd rather have a serial killer come," Pisces muttered.
Cancer nodded and entered the kitchen. Pisces followed. "Hello Stella, Callisto." Cancer hid the hostility from her voice as much as possible.
"Oh. Hi Cancer," Callisto said. "Scorps, don't you hate her?"
"Only person I hate is Aries," Scorpio said. Then he added, "And our parents."
"Oh hey Pisces!" Stella said as if they were best friends.
Pisces narrowed her eyes at her. "Hello, Stella."
"Oh. Wow. So hostile," Stella joked.
"Ha. Ha. How funny," Pisces said. Scorpio glared at Pisces and she rolled her eyes back at him. "Well, I'm gonna go now. Aqua texted me."
"You didn't have your phone out though," Scorpio said. "How would you possibly know that?"
Pisces glared at him and took her phone out. "Oh. How funny. It was actually Aqua, like I thought. Guess it's telepathy. I'm gonna go now. Bye." Then she left.
"I'm actually gonna go too. It was nice to see you again, Stella and Callisto," Cancer lied.
"You too," Callisto lied as well.
"Bye bye Scorps," Cancer said and left.
"What's with their hostility?" Stella asked.
"I don't know," Scorpio said. "Probably because you scared them when you arrived."
"Maybe," Stella said.

Immediately after Cancer left Scorpio's house, she made a group chat with everyone in the group but Scorpio.

"So, Scorpio, why do you hate Aries again?" Callisto asked his brother.
"You know why," Scorpio said.
"Wait, Aries is the redhead who clearly dyed it that color, right?" Stella asked.
"Yeah. It's actually not dyed though. He was just the weird family member who got red hair when the rest of his family has black hair," Scorpio said.
"Really? Also I hate him too. So disgusting," Stella said.
"Same," Callisto agreed.
"Yeah. He annoys the fuck out of me. So does Minnie, but she didn't do anything that is worthy of me hating her," Scorpio said. "Except, you know, the sleeping-without-covering-her-feet-with-a-blanket thing. But that's lighthearted. What Aries did is not."
"Yeah. I can't believe he would do such a thing," Stella said.
Then Scorpio got a notification from his phone so he took it out.
aries

Scorpio turned off his notifications. "So, you wanna go somewhere? I'm bored."
"Sure," Stella said. "Why don't we go to one of your friends' houses?"
"Good idea," Scorpio said. "I'll ask Minnie Mouse."
scorpio

also im not at my house
sorry
scorpio
oh it's fine
"Well turns out Minnie's busy. She's hanging out with Aries." Scorpio said. "Why do you want to see my friends so badly again?"
"Because I miss them! I haven't seen them for a long time," Stella said.
"Do you have a crush? We'll just hang out with them," Callisto asked.
"No I don't," Scorpio said. "Although my friends like to ship me with Aries." He rolled his eyes.
"Oh really?" Callisto said. "And you said your best friend's hanging out with your enemy, right?"
"Yeah," Scorpio said.
"And you're just gonna let her?" Stella asked.
"Uh... yeah," Scorpio said. "What am I gonna do? Say 'Yo Minnie you can't hang out with Aries because I hate him'?"
"I mean... real best friends never hang out with their best friend's enemy," Stella said.
"To be fair, Aries is in our group and her twin's best friend. And we all ditched her for manicures," Scorpio said.
"Why are you justifying hanging out with the person you hate? Didn't he-"
"Yes. He did. But she doesn't know that."
"Then tell her. If she finds out what a terrible person he is, she'd get him kicked out of your little group. And he'll be left friendless," Callisto said.
"Okay, but I don't want him to be friendless," Scorpio said.
"Why? He deserves it," Stella said.
"His friends love him. It'll hurt them as much as it will him," Scorpio said.
"So? What he did is absolutely unacceptable," Callisto said.
"Can you please just drop it?"
"Fine."
꧁♥︎꧂
"Leo! Leo Leo Leo Leo Leo! Open the damn door!" Cancer yelled, pounding on her best friend's front door. Aquarius and Pisces were awkwardly standing behind her, not knowing if they should pound the door with her or tell her to stop.
"Coming!" Leo yelled. She ran to her door and opened it before Cancer broke down her entire house. "Hey Cancy. And Pisces. And Aqua. So why were you breaking down my door?"
"Stella and Callisto. Those assholes. I hate them," Cancer said.
"Me too. Now can you explain why you were breaking down my door?" Leo asked.
"Because you were taking too long," Cancer said. "We need to talk about this Stella-and-Callisto thing." She looked angry, stressed, and annoyed at the same time. And Cancer when she's all those at the same time could get really scary.
"Hey sweetie, why don't you sit down for a second?" Leo asked. She gently pushed Cancer toward the living room and sat her down on the couch. Aqua and Pisces followed. "Take a deep breath." Cancer obliged. Leo handed her a coffee she originally made for herself and wrapped her shoulders with a blanket.
"Hey, why's she listening to Leo but not us?" Pisces asked quietly to Aqua.
"Because Cancy loves Leo and merely likes us," Aqua replied.
"Good point."
"Okay. So. Scorpio's siblings are homophobic assholes. Callisto has tried turning me straight multiple times. And he unconsentually kissed Pisces, which was 100% not okay. And much more. If Scorpio believed us, he would completely disapprove of what they do. He's fucking brainwashed by his stupid ass siblings," Cancer said. "I want to murder them so badly."
"Just steal their guns," Aquarius said.
"They have guns?" Cancer asked, getting even more furious.
"Yeah," Aqua said.
"Oh my fucking god. Now I want to torture them to death," Cancer said.
Then Leo got a call from Scorpio. "Oh. It's Scorps. Lemme pick it up," she said and picked up the call. "What's up, Scorps?"
The person who spoke was clearly not Scorpio. "Actually, the name's Stella."
Shit, Leo thought. "Hello. What do you want?"
"Hey, is that how you talk to an old friend?" Stella asked.
"We were never friends, Stella," Leo said.
Stella gasped. "Excuse me? How rude."
"Why do you have Scorpio's phone?" Leo asked.
"He let me borrow it."
For some reason, I don't believe her, Leo thought. "Cool. Well bye." She hung up the phone before she could say anything.
"Ugh. Stupid fucking Stella. Stupid Scorpio believing his stupid siblings over us," Cancer said.
"He needs to start believing us. Or at least Minnie. Like she's his best friend, right?" Aqua said.
"Yeah. They both trust each other with their lives, which is why this is weird," Pisces said.
"We need to get to the bottom of this," Leo said. "And yes, I know I'm acting like movie characters. Leave me be."
꧁♥︎꧂
"Well I'm going to bed now," Scorpio said.
"It's so early though," Callisto said. Scorpio gave him a death glare and he shut up.
"You two can sleep in my guest bedroom. If you touch my food without my permission, I will murder you. Same for if you wake me up. You two can stay awake but stay in one room. Got it?" Scorpio said.
"Wow. You're so mean when you're tired," Stella said.
"Got it?" Scorpio repeated.
"Yes Sir," Callisto said.
"Don't ever call me that again," Scorpio said and went to his room. When he opened the door, he saw Aries standing there. "WH-" Aries then ran over and put his hand over Scorpio's mouth. Scorpio smacked his hand off.
"Shh," Aries said and pulled Scorpio inside before shutting the door.
"How long were you here for!?" Scorpio demanded.
"Uh... like 2-ish hours?" he said.
"You're so fucking creepy," Scorpio said. "Okay, please leave now. I'm too tired to argue with you."
"Isn't it like sev-"
"Shut the fuck up."
"Anyways, let's get to the point," Aries said. "I'm here to give you evidence from your best friend that your siblings are shitty." Aries looked out the window and whisper screamed, "That's your cue!"
Minnie appeared and fell on Scorpio's room's floor. "Stupid ass floor," Minnie mumbled and got up. "Hey Scorpi."
Scorpio rolled his eyes. "Whatever Minnie's about to say, I don't care. My siblings good people."
"Look Scorpio, I'm being dead serious right now. Your siblings have done really shitty things," Minnie said. "Callisto unconsentually kissed Pisces. He also tried turning Cancy straight or something. When Stella found out about Libra's crush on Virgo, she tried making a move on Virgo, which is gross because he's very openly gay. They've done a lot more that's even worse than this. And I know you probably won't believe me, because you trust your siblings more or something, but please believe me, Scorpi. If I was really making all of this up, but there's no way my head could imagine all that. And you know more than anyone that I would never unnecessarily villainize a person, even if I hate them."
Scorpio couldn't believe what he was hearing. "They- they wouldn't do that."
"They did though," Minnie said. "Look, I know this is hard to process. I'd go insane if someone told me Gemi did something like that. But you gotta believe me."
Scorpio closed his eyes. "I'm too tired for this. Just leave, please."
Minnie sighed. She went outside through the window and Aries followed shortly after.
"I feel bad for Scorpio," Minnie said. "Imagine learning your siblings who you thought were amazing being terrible."
"Yeah..." Aries said.
"Ooh, Aries cares about Scorpio," Minnie teased halfheartedly.
"Yeah, I'm not an asshole," Aries said. "Plus I hate Scorpio's siblings more than I hate him."
"If you say so," Minnie said, already texting Pisces and Aquarius about it.
"You're so fucking annoying," Aries said.
"I try," Minnie said. Then she got a text from Gemini telling her to come back home for dinner. "Okay, Gemi's calling me for dinner. Bye Ari."
"Bye," Aries said. He walked to the fence between his and Scorpio's house and tried jumping over, but he scraped his leg against the fence and fell on the ground. "OW!" he yelled. When he tried getting up, he felt a sharp pain shoot through his leg and winced, so he just lay back down. Luckily he was on his side of the fence by then. He closed his eyes and decided he'd wait out the pain.
"Is he dead?" Aries heard a worried voice ask a minute later.
Aries opened his eyes. "I'm not dead." He saw Minnie kneeling down next to him and Scorpio looking over the fence.
"Oh good," Minnie said. "But why are you lying down on the floor and why'd you close your eyes?"
"Because I tried jumping over the fence and fell and when I got up my leg hurt so I just decided I'd lie here," Aries explained and sat up.
"Idiot," Scorpio said.
"Hey, you were the one who sounded really worried I was dead. Give me a heterosexual explanation for that," Aries said. "Oh wait. Wrong enemy. Wrong scenario. I was thinking of Josh and when he pushed me against the lockers for some reason."
"I think that's called bullying. Also why the fuck would you randomly think of that scenario in the middle of a conversation? You sure you didn't hit your head?" Scorpio asked.
"Not really. Minnie, do you think I hit my head?" Aries asked and turned to Minnie, who was on her phone texting someone happily. "Don't tell me you're doing another shipping us thing right now..."
"Huh?" Minnie asked and looked up, genuinely confused. "What happened? I wasn't paying attention."
"Woah. That's a first," Aries said.
"Can I go now? You're not dead, right?" Minnie asked.
"Unless I'm a ghost and only you two can see me, I think I'm okay," Aries said and got up without any pain.
"Mkay bye," Minnie said and walked away to go home.
"Well, I'm going now," Scorpio said and turned to leave.
"Wait," Aries said.
Scorpio turned. "You have 10 seconds to tell me what you need. Starting now."
"Why do you hate me? And don't tell me a stupid excuse. I wanna know the real reason," Aries said.
"You really don't know what you did?" Scorpio asked.
"No. That's why I'm asking you," Aries said.
"Oh, look at the time! It's getting late. I should go to bed now," Scorpio said.
"It's 7:30," Aries said. "I haven't even eaten my dinner."
"See? You should get to that," Scorpio said and ran back inside his house.
"Did Scorpio not insult me for a whole minute? I think Scorpio didn't insult me for a whole minute. Damn, Aries. You're a miracle worker," Aries said to himself. "Is it weird that I'm talking to myself in the dark and congratulating myself? Honestly that's kinda sad. And why am I still doing it? You know, I should really go inside before someone thinks I'm insane." Then Aries bolted to his house.
꧁♥︎꧂
Scorpio entered his house through the front door because he didn't want to be Aries and Minnie who climbed into his window.
"Scorpio? Why are you here?" Callisto asked him.
"Yeah," Stella agreed. "Didn't you want your beauty rest or something?"
"You guys outed me to Mom and Dad, didn't you?" Scorpio asked.
"What? No! You know Aries did it! We fully support you," Stella said.
"Aries didn't do it," Scorpio said.
"Are you really defending him?" Callisto asked.
"I am," Scorpio said. "Tell me the truth."
"I swear we didn't tell them," Stella said.
"Oh really? Is it true Callisto unconsentually kissed Pisces? Did you also try turning Cancer straight or something? When Stella found out about Libra's crush on Virgo, did she try making a move on Virgo? Disgusting," Scorpio said.
"We would never!" Callisto said. "You know we support L...B...T? Uh... is that the acronym?"
"You don't even care enough to learn 5 letters and a plus sign at the end?" Scorpio asked. "You know what? I don't need answers from you. I already know. Just go back to Celestia. Don't ever talk to me again. By the time I wake up, you better be long gone." With that, Scorpio turned to leave, but his sister's cackling behind him stopped him from going. He turned back around and looked at a very amused looking Callisto and Stella.
"Oh, Scorpio. Do you really think we're going to leave, just like that? How naïve of you," Callisto said maliciously.
Stella snapped her fingers and Scorpio's vision blurred. "HELP!" he yelled before all he could see was darkness.
