Hammock Floor
Aquarius woke up. He was confused for a second when he remembered he was a human. Wow, we've been humans for only a day and it already feels like a year. Thought Aquarius. Then he got up and got dressed.
Aquarius walked out of the air tower and into the kitchen. Cancer and Taurus were trying to learn how to cook eggs and Pisces was just standing there watching because he had nothing better to do. "Good morning!"
"Good morning Aquarius," said Pisces. Then Taurus cracked an egg.
"I think we were supposed to put butter in the frying pan first," said Cancer.
"Uh oh. I forgot. Quick add the butter now and pretend nothing happened," suggested Taurus.
"Will that work?" Asked Cancer.
"I don't know. But we can try."
"This is why we need to get phones. Hydra told me that you can use an I-phone to search stuff up," informed Pisces.
"That would be helpful," said Aquarius.
"Oh look, they're already awake," said Sagittarius. Then him and Leo walked into the kitchen and sat down on the counter.
"I thought I was up early," said Leo. Then he yawned and rubbed his eyes.
"Aww look at sleepy little Leo," joked Aries who appeared in the doorway.
"Morning losers!" cheered Scorpio as she skipped through the doorway.
"Okay, it's getting crowded in here. How about we go in the dinning room while Cancer and Taurus finish cooking?" Asked Capricorn who came out of the dinning room.
"Alright." Agreed everyone. Then they all walked into the dining room and sat down in their swing chairs.
"I love these chairs," said Leo.
"Hey guys, what's up?" Asked Libra who walked over to the table and sat down.
"Nothing much. We're waiting for Taurus and Cancer to finish cooking." Replied Capricorn.
"Do they know how to cook?" Asked Sagittarius.
"No, but it's their first time trying and if you're rude about it I'll throw you off the roof." Replied Capricorn.
"Savage," said Libra.
"Do it! Do it! Do it!" Chanted Aries and Scorpio.
"Do what? What are we doing?" Asked Gemini who walked in and sat down.
"We're throwing Sagittarius off of a roof!" Said Leo.
"You sound a little too excited about that," said Pisces.
"I'm surrounded by crazy," muttered Aquarius.
"Hey guys, what should we do first? There's so many rooms I want to see. Especially that hammock room," said Virgo who walked out of the earth tower.
"Everyone's here except for Cancer and Taurus," said Libra.
"Here they come," said Gemini. Then Cancer and Taurus walked in the dinning room with two plates in each hand.
"Don't eat until everyone gets their food," ordered Cancer.
"We want to know what you guys think all at once," said Taurus. Then they passed the plates of eggs out.
After Cancer and Taurus sat down with their plates everyone started eating. The eggs were a little runny in some places but overall they were cooked pretty well.
"I don't know what eggs are supposed to taste like, but you girls did a good job," said Virgo.
"Thank you," said Cancer.
"Oh we forgot drinks!" said Taurus. Then she got up and went into the kitchen and carefully returned with twelve glasses at once. Then she went back and returned with a milk carton.
"I wonder what milk tastes like," said Gemini. Then everyone grabbed a glass and passed the milk around. It tasted cold and fresh.
"Let's hurry up and eat so we can do other stuff," said Scorpio. Everyone else agreed.

All twelve zodiacs stood in the elevator.
"Where do you guys want to go?" asked Libra.
"Hammock room!" said Virgo. Then Libra pressed the button for the second floor. All the zodiacs waited a few seconds and eventually the doors opened. Aries, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Scorpio and Sagittarius ran onto the hammock floor. Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces were a little more cautious because they didn't trust having a hammock as a floor.
"This is the best!" Shouted Sagittarius.
"These bean bag chairs are awesome," said Capricorn.
Scorpio smiled. "We should turn on that tv."
"How?" Asked Taurus.
"I don't know. Figure it out." Then Scorpio leaned back in a beanbag chair and crossed her ankles.
"It's nice to see you guys are relaxing but aren't you afraid all of our weight is going to be too much and the hammock will break?" Asked Cancer.
"Nah," Replied Virgo.
"Hey, who wants to try out the slide that leads to the living room? Any volunteers?" Asked Leo.
"I say you should go down and tell us if you're alive later," Said Aries.
"And we have our volunteer," said Leo. Then he picked Aries up.
"Put me down! Leo I swear I'll get you back for this!" Screeched Aries. Then Leo smiled and pushed her down the slide.
"She's going to be pissed at you," said Libra.
"I guess we'll all get to watch Leo get his ass kicked later," said Aquarius while chuckling. Then Aries climbed back up the slide and grabbed Leo's foot pulling him down with her.
"So... how about the rest of us figure out how to turn on the tv. If only Hydra was here," said Gemini.
"There's a little fat stick with buttons on it attached to the wall," said Aquarius. Then he took the remote.
"Maybe one of those buttons turns the tv on," said Pisces.
Aquarius pressed a few buttons. "Hey guys! It worked!"
"Wait... what do we watch on tv?" Asked Sagittarius.
"Maybe there's instructions on how to watch tv on the back of that button stick," Replied Libra.
Aquarius turned the remote over. There was a note taped to the back.
Dear idiots,
This is a remote. You use it to turn the tv on and off. You also use it to adjust the volume and change the channels. You just look through the channels until you find something you want to watch. You can also go on Netflix and pick out a movie. Normal people usually like to eat food while watching tv, especially popcorn. -Hydra
"Who does she think she's calling an idiot?" Asked Sagittarius.
"What's Netflix?" Asked Taurus.
"I assume it's a channel or something where you can pick out a movie to watch," replied Capricorn.
"What's popcorn? It sounds tasty," said Cancer.
"We really need to ask Hydra all this when she comes to check on us later," said Virgo.
"Hydra is coming to check on us?" Asked Gemini.
"Yes she is. Last night I was in the living room when she visited me." Replied Virgo.
"Hey, one of us should hide in the trunk of her car so we'll know where she lives," suggested Sagittarius.
"But then how would you get home? The only location we know is the mall and this house," said Capricorn.
"This show looks pretty interesting, could you guys please turn the volume up?" Asked Pisces.
Aquarius turned the volume up on the remote. "Better?"
"Yes, thank you," said Pisces. Then the elevator opened and Aries skipped over to a beanbag chair.
"Where's Leo?" Asked Scorpio.
"Dead," replied Aries.
"Did you actually kill him?" Asked Libra with fear in his eyes.
"Hey guys!" Said Leo who walked out of the elevator.
"What happened?" Asked Virgo.
"Aries punched me in the face for doing that, but it didn't hurt because she's weak," said Leo.
"Fight me!" Shouted Aries while standing up and balling her fists.
"Okay let's not fight. Let's watch a movie instead," suggested Taurus.
"I want to see them fight though," complained Gemini.
"What's that show about?" Asked Cancer who sat next to Pisces.
"I don't know, but those little blue things keep doing funny things," said Pisces. They were watching the smurfs.
"That actually looks interesting," said Capricorn who sat beside Cancer.
"Hydra!" Shouted Gemini. Then everyone looked over to see Hydra standing by the elevator.
"Want me to show you guys how to turn on Netflix?" Asked Hydra.
"But we're watching this funny movie!" Replied Cancer.
"First of all that's not a movie, it's a tv show. While using the remote you can record that episode to watch later," explained Hydra.
"Okay," said Pisces.
"What kind of movies can we watch?" Asked Libra.
"All kinds. Love movies, adventure, action, horror-"
"But we can see horror by looking at Leo's face," said Aries.
"Says the tough little ram that can't punch," tormented Leo. Aries kicked him in the leg. "Ow... she can't punch but she sure can kick!"
"Hey guys, want to watch a romance movie?" Asked Taurus.
"Sure," replied Scorpio. Then Hydra showed them how to turn on a movie.
***
Later on Hydra got in her car. She had a strange feeling. Stop being paranoid. It's nothing. Thought Hydra. Then she got to up decided to check her trunk anyway.
"Why shouldn't I be surprised?" Asked Hydra.
"Damn it! I was so close!" Said Sagittarius. Then he climbed out of the trunk with his bags of glitter, silly string and toilet paper and he ran inside the house. Where did he even get that stuff? Oh well, I guess I'll have to watch out for him. Thought Hydra. Then she smiled. The zodiacs were like her children and around them she felt like their mother.
