Christmas Eve
Libra woke up because his phone was vibrating. He grabbed his phone and answered it.
"Hello?" asked Libra.
"Downstairs," then the other person hung up. That was odd. Oh well. Thought Libra. Then he went downstairs.
As soon as Libra got downstairs he could smell food. Capricorn was standing in the kitchen.
"Morning babe," said Libra wrapping his arms around Capricorn.
"Good morning. I made you breakfast," said Capricorn.
"REALLY? Um I mean... thanks Capricorn," said Libra. Then he placed a kiss on her forehead and skipped into the dining room.
Hydra was in her living room with Phoenix.
"I'm so excited for Christmas!" said Phoenix.
"Me too," said Hydra. Then she leaned in to kiss her girlfriend.
"FROSTY THE SNOWMAN-" sang a bunch of voices at once.
"Christmas carollers?" asked Phoenix. Then Hydra got up and ripped the door open. The door hit Virgo (who was standing in front of the door) and knocked him off the front porch.
Libra looked down at Virgo and shrugged. "He dead."
The others stopped singing and grinned at Hydra.
"HYDRA! It's so good to see you again!" said Sagittarius while waving crazily.
"Do you like our singing?" asked Virgo who got up and brushed the snow off his face.
"Do you really want to know the answer to that question?" asked Hydra.
"It's been weeks! Months! YEARS!" shouted Leo.
"I saw you at the mall yesterday," said Hydra.
"It does seem like only yesterday, doesn't it?" asked Leo while wiping a fake tear off his face.
"What do you guys want?" asked Hydra.
"It's nice to see you too," said Libra.
"We came to visit you!" said Cancer.
"Hey, you don't look like you're in the Christmas spirit!" said Pisces.
"I know!" said Gemini. Then she jumped up and placed a Santa hat on Hydra's head.
"Ooh is that the zodiacs?" asked Phoenix who ran to the door. "Hi zodiacs!" Gemini placed a Santa hat on Phoenix's head too.
"Hi Phoenix. Is Antlia there too?" asked Aquarius.
"No he lives kind of far away but he has other friends to spend Christmas with," said Phoenix.
"Hey, do you guys want to spend Christmas Eve with us?" asked Aries. Hydra and Phoenix looked at each other.
"We have cookies," said Capricorn.
"What do you think?" asked Hydra.
"Sure!" replied Phoenix.
"We'll go pack some stuff," said Hydra.
"Bring earplugs, they like to sing," warned Taurus.
"We have a new cat! Her name is Calypso," said Scorpio.
"Really? I can't wait to see her!" said Phoenix. Then Hydra and Phoenix went to pack their stuff while the zodiacs went home.
At the house the zodiacs put out a bunch of drinks and snacks while Christmas music played throughout the house. All of the sudden the song "All I want for Christmas is you," came on. Sagittarius walked up to Cancer and started lip singing the words while dancing around her while Cancer giggled at how silly he was being. Aries and Leo entered a singing battle where they both sang as loudly and passionately as they could. This was a disaster for the others because neither of them are good singers. Capricorn and Libra were just dancing together and eating food.
"ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOUUUU," sang Virgo while running in the middle of the dance floor and doing dance moves like the sprinkler and the running man.
"Virgo you're scaring Calypso!" said Scorpio.
"You know you like it!" said Virgo.
"She actually looks pretty weirded out," said Pisces. Then Pisces and Scorpio high fived. Virgo shrugged and kept dancing. All of the sudden Virgo's foot twisted and he fell down.
"Nice dance moves Virgo!" tormented Aquarius. Virgo glared at him.
"They're here!" announced Taurus. Then Gemini hid behind the door. Hydra opened the door and as they walking inside Gemini popped out.
"Ahhhh!" screamed Phoenix while jumping in Hydra's arms.
"Come in and join the fun!" cheered Gemini. Hydra and Phoenix decided to dance with the others.
Later on everyone was dancing except for Aquarius.
"Why do you look so sad?" asked Scorpio who walked over and sat by Aquarius.
"I'm not sad," said Aquarius.
"LIBRA!" shouted Scorpio.
"What?" asked Libra.
"Does Aqua look sad? Look at his pouty little face," said Scorpio while pinching his cheeks.
Libra frowned. "Aqua looks depressed."
"I'm not!" declared Aquarius.
"Why are you so sad?" asked Scorpio. Aquarius blushed.
"Am I hallucinating or is Aquarius BLUSHING?!?" asked Libra.
"Shut up!" growled Aquarius while covering his face with his hands.
"Just go talk to her. We know you have a crush," said Libra.
"But I have butterflies in my stomach!" said Aquarius.
"Digest them!" ordered Scorpio.
"Maybe later. Plus it's not like you guys can make me. You don't even know who I like," said Aquarius.
"True but we'll find out when you ask her out," said Libra.
Aries, Leo and Capricorn were sitting at the food table.
"ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS FOOOOOOOOOOOD," sang Leo.
"Here you go," said Aries while rubbing a slice of cake all over Leo's face. Leo licked his face.
Capricorn gasped. "How could you waste precious food like that?"
"Aries! Behind you!" shouted Leo. Aries turned around and Leo poured whipped cream in her hair.
"Guys, I spend hard work making all these desserts!" complained Capricorn. "Fine. If you waste them all I won't bake any more."
"But Cappy! You're by far the best cook we have!" complained Leo.
"If you don't cook, then Virgo will take over as cook and we'll die of food poisoning," joked Aries.
"HEARD THAT!" shouted Virgo.
"I'm going to go take a shower to rinse the whipped cream out of my hair," said Aries.
Leo smirked. "Can I come too?" Then Aries picked up the whole cake and dumped it over Leo's head. Capricorn put her hand up to her mouth and tried not to laugh. Aries smirked and blew Leo a kiss before heading over to the fire tower.
"I... I think I'm in love," said Leo.
"Aries forgot something," said Capricorn. Then she placed a cherry on Leo's head.
Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces were in the hammock floor watching a Christmas movie with Calypso. Calypso was sleeping in Pisces' lap and he needed to stretch his legs but he didn't want to wake the cat.
"Well that was funny movie," said Sagittarius when it was over.
"My legs are asleep help!" said Pisces. Then Virgo picked Calypso up so Pisces could move his legs around. Then he brought Calypso over to the slide and Calypso slid down to the living room.
"AHHHHH! FLYING CATS!!!" screamed someone downstairs.
"What do you guys want to do now?" asked Virgo.
"I don't know. I'm getting kind of tired," said Pisces.
"Do you guys want to turn off all the lights and run in the living room screaming to freak everyone else out?" asked Sagittarius.
"Uh, no," replied Pisces.
"Let's knock Aquarius out and tape him to the roof," suggested Virgo.
"Or we can throw Christmas confetti everywhere," suggested Pisces.
"You know what? I like that idea," said Sagittarius. Then they searched the house for Christmas coloured confetti.
Taurus, Cancer, Gemini, Hydra and Phoenix were talking beside the Christmas tree and they had little plates of food and drinks.
"So, how long have you two been together?" asked Cancer.
"A few years," replied Phoenix.
"Aww how did you guys meet?" asked Taurus.
"She almost ran me over with a car," replied Hydra.
"Oh," said Cancer to break the awkward silence.
"So, why don't you guys get married already?" asked Gemini. Taurus was so shocked at Gemini's question she spit out her drink. Hydra blushed and Phoenix thought for a second.
"Maybe someday," said Hydra.
"So, how many couples are there now?" asked Phoenix.
"Cancer and Sag, Aries and Leo and Libra and Capricorn," replied Gemini.
"What? Capricorn is dating Libra? Really? Isn't he one of the three that tormented her?" asked Phoenix.
"Yup," replied Taurus.
"So half of you are in relationships," said Hydra.
"I can't really see anyone else getting into a relationship to be honest, but maybe that's because no one else has any crushes," said Cancer.
"True," agreed Gemini.
Later on that night Phoenix and Hydra decided to go home while the others went to their rooms. Aquarius and Scorpio were cleaning up when Aquarius walked over to Scorpio.
"Hey Scorp, can I ask you something?" asked Aquarius nervously.
"Sure," relied Scorpio. Then Aquarius walked over to her and whispered in her ear.
"Scorpio, you know I have a crush on someone. Well... how do I ask her out?"
Scorpio smirked. "Just tell me who it is and I'll help you out."
Taurus was in her room when a paper plane flew in through her open window. It wasn't windy outside and she didn't remember opening her window. Taurus picked up the paper plane and unfolded it to reveal a note.
Dear Taurus, please come meet me downstairs later
-from: (insert name of your celebrity crush)
Taurus chucked and rolled her eyes. Then she walked downstairs.
When she stepped out of the earth tower, Taurus walked out of the dining room and looked around.
"You came," said a voice. Aquarius walked into the kitchen.
"Hi Aqua. What's going on?" asked Taurus, although her mind had a few ideas.
"I... uh, take this!" said Aquarius who gave Taurus a rose.
"How is it possible that the confident Aquarius is standing in front of me looking so shy and scared?" asked Taurus who resisted the urge to smirk. "Also thank you for the rose."
"Pfft, shy? No way, I never get shy," replied Aquarius in his usual confident voice. "Plus, your face is probably as red as mine!"
"That's my natural complexion!" argued Taurus. "Either way it doesn't matter, why did you give me this rose?" asked Taurus while trying to change the focus away from her.
"Why are you asking as if you don't already know?" asked Aquarius who stepped in front of her.
"I-I just want to make s-sure I'm not getting the wrong idea," stuttered Taurus.
"Taurus, will you be my girlfriend?" asked Aquarius.
"Do you like me more than Libra and Virgo?" asked Taurus.
"Romantically, yes. But they're my best friends," said Aquarius.
"I know I'm just teasing you. Yes Aquarius, I'll be your girlfriend," said Taurus. Aquarius' face lit up. He coughed and tried to act cool, but failed miserably.
"Great, uh... see you tomorrow? Goodnight Taurus, I mean sweet heart. Or is it too soon to call you that? Sorry I don't mean to scare you or make you think things are moving too fast!" Then Aquarius face palmed. "I'm really screwing this up right now aren't I?"
Taurus laughed. "No Aquarius, I find it cute. After all, I'm the only one that's even made you feel flustered. Goodnight... sweetheart!" then Taurus gave Aquarius a hug. Aquarius closed his eyes and hugged her back.
"Taurus I forgot to mention something," said Aquarius.
"What is it?" asked Taurus. Aquarius looked up. Taurus followed his gaze to see a mistletoe. Aquarius smirked.
"You clever little shit! What were you just saying about things going too fast?" asked Taurus. Aquarius' smile faltered and he started to look a bit pale.
"I'm sorry Taurus, I never thought about that you see, I-" Aquarius stopped talking as Taurus leaned in. He placed his arms around her waist and brought her closer for their first kiss.
"I was just kidding. You should stop taking everything so seriously," said Taurus. Then she messed up his hair. "Goodnight Aquarius." Then she walked over to the earth tower. Aquarius waited until Taurus left before sitting down on the kitchen floor and processing what happened. Oh shit, I really like her. Did she really take all my confidence and walk away being the confident one? Damn, she doesn't know how amazing she really is. Thought Aquarius. Then he got up and walked into to the air tower.
"Why are you smiling like that? You look like you've won the lottery," said Libra who was watching tv in the air tower.
"I won something much greater than that," said Aquarius before finding the hidden elevator and going up to his room, leaving Libra looking confused.
