Family Reunion
After everyone moved out, Phoenix sold her house and moved into to the mansion with Pegasus. Fifteen years later, everyone planned on coming back for a reunion.
***
Taurus got out of the car and opened the door. A little girl with short black hair and bangs, and blue eyes grabbed Taurus' hand and climbed out. Taurus closed the door and walked around the car. Aquarius held a baby in one arm and he held hands with an older boy with the other. They both smiled and walked up to the house.
"Can I knock, mommy?" asked the little girl.
"Sure," replied Taurus.
The little girl grinned and knocked on the door. It swung open.
"Oh my god! You're back!" Pegasus smiled at the other constellations. Pegasus was twenty one years old now.
"They're back?!?" Phoenix ran into the room and grinned. "EEEEEEK LET ME SEE THE KIDS. Come meet aunt Phoenix."
Taurus laughed. "This is Shay, she's six."
Shay smiled and gave Phoenix a hug. "Nice to meet you."
"And who are they?" asked Phoenix while glancing at the two boys with Aquarius.
"I am the best child and my parents personal favourite. My name is Ryan," introduced the boy holding Aquarius' hand. Ryan had black hair and blue eyes. He was eight.
Aquarius smiled at the baby in his arms. He had blond hair. "This is Aquarius junior."
Taurus put her hands on her hips. "That's not his name!"
"His name is Terrance. He's only nine months old."
"Is anyone else here yet?" asked Taurus.
Phoenix shook her head. "Nope. You guys are the first."
Shay looked around. "Can I explore?"
"Go right ahead," said Aquarius. "There's a treehouse in the backyard."
Shay and Ryan ran off to play.
"Can I hold him?" asked Phoenix while reaching for the baby. Aquarius smiled and handed Terrance to Phoenix. "EEEEEEK! Look at his tiny hands and his chubby cheeks."
Everyone heard a car door close outside.
"I wonder who's coming next!" grinned Aquarius.
"Let's all guess. I'm guessing Virgo and Scorpio," said Pegasus.
"Hmm... Cappy and Libby!" guessed Aquarius.
Taurus shrugged. "Sagittarius and Cancer."
"It won't be them because Sagittarius is always late," chuckled Aquarius.
"Oh yeah!"
The door flew open.
"Ladieeeeeeeeeeees and geeeeeeeeeeeetlement. I present to you... VIRGO!" Virgo marched through the door. A little girl confidentially marched behind him.
Terrance woke up and started crying.
"Virgo! You woke my baby!" scolded Aquarius.
"I can take him." Pegasus took Terrance. "Phoenix bought some baby food just in case one of you had a baby. There, there. Let's go get you some baby food." Pegasus walked towards the kitchen with Terrance.
"Virgo didn't change. At all." Scorpio walked through the door with a little girl in her arms.
"Who's this?" asked Phoenix while smiling at the two girls.
"Introduce yourself sweetie," said Virgo while patting the girl beside him on the back.
The little girl smiled confidentially. She had Virgo's big smile, brown hair, blue eyes, and very tanned skin. "My name is Veronica and I am nine years old. Where's Shay? Shay is one of my besties. Daddy sets up a lot of sleepovers for me, Shay and-"
"And she's Virgo's child without a doubt," laughed Scorpio.
"Why?" asked Taurus.
Scorpio and Virgo looked at each other before laughing. "You'll see."
A pale girl with long black hair and hazel eyes hid behind Scorpio. "H-hi. I'm Selena. I'm seven years old."
"You guys can go play with the other kids," said Virgo.
"No thank you. I'd rather stay and talk with the adults. You're all so tall. I want to be tall!" cheered Veronica.
Selena smiled shyly and walked away to find the other kids.
"What's daddy like?" asked Aquarius while looking at Veronica.
Veronica put her hands on her hips. "He bothers me and Mom a lot. She says he's... ann... anno..."
"Annoying," said Scorpio.
"Yeah! And he always tells not funny jokes. Mom calls them dad jokes. I guess because daddy is the one that tells them."
A car door slammed closed.
"I BET IT'S LIBBY!" Virgo grinned and hid behind the door.
Scorpio rolled her eyes. "I'm still waiting for him to grow up."
Taurus laughed. "Aquarius is still immature as well. I guess some things never change."
Scorpio laughed. "I guess not."
Capricorn opened the door. "Oh! Some people are already here. Libra's coming with the kids." Then she pushed the door against the wall. "I know Virgo's hiding back here."
"How did you know?" asked a curious Veronica.
Capricorn chuckled. "Because he's Virgo. It's either that or he's under the couch."
Capricorn moved away from the door.
"Hi guys. I'm ba-"
"RAWRRRRRRRR!" Virgo popped out from behind the door.
Libra and two kids screamed.
Capricorn rolled her eyes. "Libra, you really should have expected this by now."
Libra glared at Virgo. "I probably should have."
"Ooh! Libra and Capricorn have kids too! Introduce yourselves!" cheered Phoenix.
"My name is Camilla. I'm nine," announced a girl with green eyes and beautiful long wavy blonde hair. Her skin was a bit tanned like Libra's.
"I'm Henry," said a boy with sliver hair and brown eyes. "I'm seven."
"Hi seven. I'm Virgo." Virgo laughed at his own joke.
"That's the jokes I'm talking about!" screamed Veronica.
Henry put his hands on his hips. "Hi Virgo. I actually know good jokes."
Virgo smirked. "Like what?"
Henry shrugged. "I know you."
"OHHHHHHHH!" screamed Capricorn. "THE TABLES HAVE BEEN TURNED! I REPEAT, THE TABLES HAVE BEEN TUUUUUUUURNED."
"It wasn't that funny," muttered Virgo.
"Virgo doesn't like it when the jokes on him," laughed Libra. "The kids are comfortable because Virgo and his kids visit a lot. Henry and Selena are best friends but Veronica and Camilla..."
Camilla blushed. "Veronica stop staring at me. It's kind of weird."
Veronica grinned. "But you're so pretty... haha."
Camilla sighed. "Want to look around the house?"
"Of course! Your wish is my command!" Veronica put an arm around Camilla. "How are you so pretty?"
"I... I don't know. Let's go in the elevator." Camilla and Veronica walked away.
"I'm going to find the others." Henry skipped away.
"Wait. Virgo's daughter has a crush on Libra's daughter?" asked Aquarius.
Scorpio smiled. "Veronica doesn't ever stop talking about Camilla."
"If you ask me," said Capricorn. "I think Camilla likes her back. She's just too shy to admit it."
Libra nodded. "Yup. These girls love spending time together. Looks like Virgo was right, His kids are best friends with our kids. What about your kids Aqua?"
Aquarius nodded. "Whenever we're nearby Virgo invites Shay and Ryan over for sleepovers."
Virgo smiled. "I told you our kids would be besties like we were!"
A car door closed.
"Eeeeeeeek! More kids!" Phoenix grinned. "It's so weird seeing little versions of you guys. It seems like only yesterday you all moved out."
The door opened. "Where are all my best friends?" asked Gemini while looking around. "Wait, we're fourth? I though for sure we were early."
A little girl with wavy blue hair and green eyes wrapped her arms around Gemini's leg. "Who are these people?"
Gemini smiled. "This is Aurora. She's seven."
Pisces walked in carrying a little boy with blond hair and green eyes. "Hi guys. Meet Elliot. Elliot, this is all my friends."
"He's so small. How old is he?" asked Phoenix.
"Three," replied Pisces.
"I love your hair." Aurora smiled at Phoenix. "It's so twirly."
Phoenix gasped. "Why, thank you! I love your hair, it's blue and pretty."
"Oh. Um... thanks," smiled Aurora.
"I'm going to go check on the kids." Taurus walked to the elevator.
"Me too." Capricorn also left.
"Wow. You guys grew an inch or two," smirked Libra.
Pisces stuck his tongue at Libra. "Well being short has it's advantages! I can't list off any right now but there are advantages!"
"Yeah." Gemini crossed her arms. "We're cute."
"What's the weather like down there?" asked Virgo.
Gemini kicked Virgo in the knee. Virgo bent down and grabbed his knee.
"I don't know. What's the weather like down there?" smirked Gemini.
"Hey. Don't hurt my Virgo." Scorpio wrapped an arm around Virgo. "He's fragile."
"Fragile?" asked Libra while laughing. "He's anything but fragile."
"What does fragile mean?" asked Aurora.
"It means you get hurt easily," replied Pisces.
"Take this, fragile!" Then Aurora kicked Virgo in the shin. She got ready to kick again.
Virgo backed up. "Why does she want to hurt me? I'm precious!"
Scorpio pinched Virgo's cheeks. "Aww. Precious little Virgo is getting hurt by a six year old."
Aurora glared at Scorpio. "I'm seven!"
"Wasn't she shy five seconds ago?" asked Phoenix.
"She's like me except with anxiety," replied Gemini.
"Hungwy," mumbled the little boy in Pisces' arms.
"Where's Pegasus?" asked Gemini.
"I don't know," replied Phoenix. "She went to feed baby Terrance but she's been gone a while."
Aquarius laughed. "She's probably playing with Terrance. He loves it when people play with him."
"I'll check in the kitchen." Pisces walked in the kitchen.
"Are we all early? Or are the fire signs late?" asked Libra.
"Probably a bit of both," replied Scorpio.
Capricorn and Taurus returned.
"The kids are all having fun," announced Capricorn.
Pisces walked into the living room. "Pegasus was playing with baby Terrance and she agreed to feed Elliot."
"Where's the other kids?" asked Aurora.
"The hammock floor. Just take the elevator to the second floor," replied Taurus. "Do you know how to do that?"
"Yes. We have elevators in my house." Aurora skipped up to the elevator.
All of the sudden the door flew across the room and smashed into the wall. Everyone turned to see Leo.
"Did you seriously break another door?" asked Capricorn while face palming.
Leo shrugged. "It was old anyway."
"Leeeeeeeeo," whined Taurus. "Now you have to buy another one."
"Hey. Don't whine at me. I have a child here who is excited to see you all." Leo smiled at the child that was holding his hand. This child had hazel eyes and curly blond hair with a bow on top. Leo's child also wore a pink frilly dress. "This is Avery. Avery is eight years old."
Avery waved at everyone. "Hi."
"She's so cute!" squealed Phoenix.
"Actually... Avery is a he. He's very fabulous and he adores fashion."
Avery walked up to Capricorn. "I adore your hair. It's a nice colour." Avery reached in his pink purse and pulled out a blue bow. "Here. This will pull your outfit together." Capricorn got down on two knees and let Avery put the bow in her hair. "There. How fabulous!"
"IM BAAAAAAAAAAAACK!" Aries marched in the house with a little girl behind her. The little girl had long brown hair and green eyes. She looked around nine years old. "Wheres my wifey?"
"Wifey's right here," said Capricorn. Aries gave Capricorn a hug. Then she gave Gemini and Scorpio a hug too. When she got to Virgo, she stepped on his foot.
"Ow. What is this? Beat up Virgo day?" asked Virgo.
"Huh?" asked Aries.
"Me and my daughter kicked him in the leg," replied Gemini.
Aries grinned. "Good. Is Sag here yet? I'll scare him."
"I'm asking king Cepheus for a DNA test, those two are one hundred percent related!" announced Libra while pointing to Aries and Virgo.
"Mommy? Did your forget about me?" asked the little girl.
"No sweetie. Guys, this is Riley," said Aries while motioning towards the little girl.
Avery took a handful of sparkles out of his pockets. "Anyone want sparkles? It automatically improves your fabulousness by one hundred percent!"
"LIBRA DOES!" screamed Virgo.
Avery skipped over to Libra and threw sparkles at him. "There. How pretty."
Capricorn laughed. "I love this kid."
A car door closed.
Leo grinned. "By right back." He sprinted up to the fire tower.
"Hey kids, want to explore?" asked Aries.
"Sure. Maybe one of the girls will let me braid their hair." Avery skipped away.
"No, I'd rather stay and talk. I'm so cute that you all should give me candy."
Aries pulled a chocolate bar out of her bag. "There. Now go play."
"CHOCOLATE!" Riley grabbed the chocolate bar and started running around the room like crazy. "HEHEHEHE I LOVE CHOCOLATE."
"This way." Aries picked up Riley and brought her over to the elevator.
"I'm going to go find Veronica or Camilla or Shay. We're all best friends!" announced Riley while walking in the elevator.
"So she has Aries' energy," laughed Pisces.
Aries sprinted over to behind the opening where a door used to be.
Sagittarius and Cancer walked through the open doorway.
"SURPRISE!" Aries popped out at them.
Cancer, Sagittarius and their kids screamed.
"You made me jump and I already knew you were there," laughed Phoenix.
"Did Leo break another door?" asked Sagittarius. "I'm not surprised."
"Phoenix!" Cancer gave Phoenix a hug.
"Hey! Cancer grew taller than us!" pouted Gemini.
"What? She's not taller!" said Pisces.
"Back to back. Let's go!" Cancer walked over to Gemini and Pisces. They all stood back to back.
"Cancer is about two inches taller," announced Aquarius.
"What? Really?" asked Gemini.
"You guys are still short and cute," tormented Cancer.
"You're still smaller than everyone else," laughed Taurus.
"Yeah. You may be taller than us but you're still short!" chuckled Pisces.
"Where's that little shit?" asked Sagittarius while looking around for Leo.
"Daddy don't swear!" hissed a little girl with red hair and blue eyes.
"Sorry sweetie. That's his name. Little shit."
Aries put her hands on her hips. "His name is not little shit, it's Leo."
Sagittarius shrugged. "Same thing."
"So, what are your kid's names?" asked Phoenix.
Cancer smiled and motioned towards the girl with red hair. "This is Jin. She's ten."
"Jin. That's a pretty name," said Scorpio.
"It's a name fit for a pretty princess," said Sagittarius.
"I'm not a princess," smiled Jin. "Am I the oldest out of all the kids here?"
"I think you are," said Phoenix.
"Sweet!" Jin grinned.
"This is Devon," said Cancer while pointing to a little boy that held onto a stuffed bear. He had big green eyes and orange hair. "He's four."
Leo whistled as he walked out of the fire tower. "Hi Sag. I haven't seen you in a while."
Sagittarius glared at Leo. "Why are you smiling like that? What did you do?"
Leo smiled innocently and shrugged. "What didn't I do?"
"I'm checking on my room." Sagittarius ran into the fire tower.
"I plan to live so I'll go hide now." Leo hid in the closet.
"What did you do?" asked Aries.
"Why are you talking to a closet?" asked Leo. "Leo isn't here, it's only an empty closet."
Pegasus walked out of the kitchen with a sleeping baby Terrance and a sleeping Elliot. "Sorry I took so long. I played with Terrance for a bit. He's so cute when he laughs."
"That's fine," Taurus held baby Terrance.
"Where's Calypso?" asked Cancer.
Virgo and Scorpio looked at each other. Scorpio bit her lip. "She's... uh... she died a few years ago."
Virgo nodded. "Don't bring it up around Selena or Veronica."
"Oh," Cancer frowned. "Well that's sad."
"I baked a dessert for all the kids later," smiled Phoenix. "I'm so glad that you're all here."
"You baked a dessert?" asked Jin. "That's cool. I love cooking and baking."
"Go play. The others are on the hammock floor I think," said Sagittarius.
Jin grabbed Devon's hand and pulled him over to the elevator.
"It's seems like forever since we were all together in the same house," smiled Capricorn.
Aquarius sighed. "I miss those days."
"Wheeeeeeeeee." Camilla slid down the slide. The she turned around. "IT LEADS TO THE LIVING ROOM."
"Hey Camilla. What's up?" asked Libra.
"I saw a slide and a wanted to slide down it," replied Camilla.
Veronica slid down the slide and gave Camilla a hug.
Then Riley slid down the slide and accidentally crashed into them. "Whoops. Sorry."
Shay slid down and helped everyone up. "Come on, there's a treehouse in the backyard!" All four girls ran to the backyard.
Virgo grinned. "See? My daughter, Libby and Cappy's daughter, Ari's daughter and Aquabro's daughter are all besties! Didn't I tell you this would happen?"
Scorpio laughed. "You did."
"LEO!" Sagittarius stomped down the stairs.
"What did he do?" asked Cancer.
Sagittarius groaned. "My entire room is filled with confetti and glitter. Leo also hung a bunch of posters of his face on my walls."
Aries laughed. "So that's why he printed all those pictures of himself."
"Where is he?" asked Sagittarius.
Aries pointed to the closet. Sagittarius whipped the closet door open.
"HI SAGGI-"
"YOU'RE DEAD!"
"BUT I'M TOO FABULOUS TO DIE. It would be a waste of beauty." Leo got up and sprinted away. Sagittarius chased him.
"We should all hang out later," suggested Taurus.
"Yeah!" agreed Gemini. "Let's go dancing or something."
Jin and Aurora ran into the living room.
"I'm hungry!" announced Aurora.
"Can we have food? We're starving!" begged Jin dramatically.
"The food will be ready in ten minutes," announced Phoenix.
"But I'm dying of hunger!" Jin clutched her stomach and dropped to her knees.
"Need... food..." Aurora played dead.
"Alright, who taught you how to do that?" asked Pisces.
"Avery is giving out free drama lessons," replied Aurora.
"Go figure," muttered Cancer.
"We have cake for dessert. But only for children that wait for the food to be cooked," announced Pegasus.
"Okayyyyyyyy." Jin grabbed Auroras arm and dragged her away.
A car door closed.
"Who else is here?" asked Gemini.
"Were we expecting other guests?" asked Cancer.
"I was." Phoenix walked up to the opening where the door used to be.
"Hey Aqua. You've grown so much. Maybe now you can actually start to compete with me." Antlia smirked at Aquarius as he walked inside the house.
"Why was he invited?" asked Aquarius.
Leo ran in the living room. "ANTLIA SAVE ME!" He hid behind Antlia.
"What's going on?" asked Lynx as they walked into the room.
"Antlia! Punch Leo for me!" ordered Sagittarius who ran in the room.
"LYNX. Wait, did you two come here together?" asked Gemini.
"Yup," replied Antlia. "We're married now."
"No one every told me!" said Virgo.
"It was a surprise," replied Lynx.
"More people to hang out with. Cool. Is there anyone else coming to this reunion?" asked Scorpio.
"Lyra and Hydrus are coming later," replied Phoenix.
"Wait, you didn't tell me that uncle Hydrus and Aunt Lyra were coming!" said Pegasus.
Phoenix shrugged. "It was a surprise for you too."
"Come on. We'd better feed our hungry children," announced Capricorn. Everyone started getting the food ready in the kitchen.
***
Later on, everyone was getting ready to go out when someone knocked on the door that Leo had just installed.
"Coming!" Gemini opened the door. "LYRA!"
"Hey!" Lyra hugged Gemini. "We had a flat tire but we're finally here."
"Look. It's all the other constellations. Where's my beautiful niece Pegasus?" asked Hydrus.
"Here!" Pegasus gave them both a hug.
"We were just going out to a dance," said Taurus.
"Wait. Can you watch our kids for us?" asked Cancer.
Lyra shrugged. "I don't see why not."
"The cabs are here. Bye guys!" announced Aquarius. Everyone gave Lyra and Antlia a hug before getting in the cabs. Except for Aquarius. He flicked Antlia on the forehead.
"Here." Pegasus handed baby Terrance to Lyra before joining the others.
***
Lyra and Hydrus sat in the living room with all the kids.
"So, I'm Lyra, and this is Hydrus. We're your babysitters for tonight."
"Your hair is gorgeous. Will you allow me to add some ribbons to it?" asked Avery.
"Uh... sure."
Avery pulled a few ribbons out of his purse and started tying them in Lyra's hair.
"Let's try to guess who's kids you guys are," grinned Hydrus. "You are Leo and Aries kid for sure."
Avery smiled. "Yes. I am the fabulous child of my two fabulous parents."
Lyra laughed. "You talk so sophisticated for someone your age." Lyra looked around. "The brown haired girl that's cuddling the blonde haired girl is Virgo's daughter. And the blonde is Libra's daughter."
"That's right!" grinned Veronica.
"We're not cuddling. Only couples cuddle. We're just hugging," replied Camilla.
"Who am I? Who am I?" asked Riley while jumping up and down.
Hydrus bit his lip. "Which constellation has a lot of energy?"
"I'd say she's Aries' daughter. She looks a lot like her. And you with the blue hair, you're Pisces and Gemini's daughter."
"How did you know?" asked Aurora.
"Because no one else has blue hair," replied Lyra.
"I have no idea who baby Terrance belongs to," said Hydrus.
"Who is related to Terrance?" asked Lyra.
Shay and Ryan raised their hands.
"Hmm..." thought Lyra out loud. "They both have black hair and the baby has blond hair, so Taurus and Aquarius' kids!"
"Wow. You're smart!" said Ryan.
"Do you know who my parents are?" asked Devon.
"Your hair is orange so Cancer and Sagittarius," replied Hydrus. Then he pointed to Jin. "You're also the child of Cancer and Sagittarius."
"No," replied Jin.
"Really? Then who's your parents?" asked Lyra.
"I'm joking," laughed Jin.
"Jin likes making jokes," said Devon.
Lyra looked at Elliot. "You look a lot like Pisces except with blond hair. Am I right?"
"Yes," replied Aurora.
"Okay. You're Capricorn and Libra's son," said Lyra while pointing to Henry.
"How do you know?" asked Henry.
"I can tell by your silver hair. Who's left?"
Selena raised her hand.
"Scorpio!" guessed Hydrus.
"Yeah. Scorpio is my mommy and Virgo is my daddy," replied Selena.
"Where's the cake we were promised?" asked Jin.
"Let's go get some." Lyra got up and went into the kitchen to get some plates. All the kids smiled and cheered because they couldn't wait to eat cake.
