Christmas Eve
Gemini woke up. He got ready and went downstairs.
When he walked into the living room, Pisces was dressed as Mrs. Claus and Scorpio and Cancer were dressed as elves. All three of them were watching Christmas movies. Scorpio and Cancer were obviously bored but they were pretending to be interested. They probably have been watching Christmas movies all morning. Gemini walked into the kitchen and Capricorn and Sagittarius were already there. Capricorn was cooking eggs and Sagittarius was talking to him.
"Morning," said Gemini.
"Good morning," replied Sagittarius and Capricorn at the same time.
"Would you like to use the frying pan after I'm done?" asked Capricorn.
"I'm good." He wasn't hungry so he was making himself some hot chocolate. "Actually... Yeah I'll use the frying pan after."
***
A few minutes later, Capricorn and Sagittarius took their plate of eggs to the dinning room, then Gemini started cooking some eggs. He also made another cup of hot chocolate with whipped cream and crushed candy cane on top. Then he heard someone else come downstairs. He checked to see who it was. Virgo was walking downstairs laughing.
"What did you do?" asked Gemini.
"Nothing!" Virgo hid in the garage.
Gemini went back to cooking the eggs.
Gemini was bringing the eggs and hot chocolate into the dinning room when he heard an alarm go off. I don't remember anyone setting any alarms... Then he heard a loud crash.
"VIRGO!!!" screamed Aries.
***
Aries stomped downstairs. "Nice costumes I guess."
"Thanks!" said Pisces. Scorpio and Cancer were both asleep. "Oh yeah you're supposed to go to the... What did he say again? Oh yeah! You're supposed to go to the dinning room."
"Alright." Aries walked into the dinning room. There was a plate full of eggs and a cup of hot chocolate with whipped cream and crushed candy cane on the table. There was a note beside the plate. Aries read it.
For Aries only. If anyone but Aries touches the food I will hunt you down and hurt you!
-Gemini.
Aries sat down. How sweet of him. Then she started eating.

"Mrs. Claus? Am I getting any presents this year? I promise I've been a good boy," said Leo who was tormenting Pisces. He sat on her lap.
Scorpio pushed Leo onto the floor. "You've been very naughty."
"Well Mr.Elf, I've been nicer then this other person that lives with us. We call that troubled boy Scorpio. You see, nobody really likes Scorpio because he's a loser, but I didn't kick him out yet. I think I should be on the nice list for that alone."
Taurus and Capricorn were carried a big plastic box into the living room.
"What's in there?" asked Pisces.
"Christmas ornaments," replied Taurus.
Libra ran downstairs. "Are we decorating the tree yet?"
"Not yet," replied Capricorn.
"Awww..."
Pisces picked up the remote. "Let's watch a Christmas-"
"NO!" yelled Cancer and Scorpio at the same time.
"Why not?"
"We've watched 20 movies since this morning!" said Scorpio.
Cancer sighed. "My Christmas inner spirit is tired."
"Fine. We can sing Christmas songs and dance again!" Pisces realized Scorpio and Cancer were sleeping again.
"They must be tired," said Libra. Leo sat down and pretended to be asleep. Taurus and Capricorn brought another box in the living room.
"How many ornaments do we have?" asked Pisces.
"A lot," replied Capricorn and Taurus at the same time.
***
Aquarius watched as Aries, Virgo, and Sagittarius walked by in their swimsuits.
"Where are you three going in your swimsuits?"
"The hot tub in the pool room," replied Virgo.
"Wait for me!" Aquarius went upstairs to change into her swimsuit.
***
A few minutes later, Aries, Virgo, Sagittarius and Aquarius all sat in the hot tub.
"This is relaxing," said Sagittarius.
"Yeah," agreed Aries. All four of them were sitting quietly, it was so peaceful. The warm water was very relaxing. Aquarius stretched her feet. The warm water felt like a nice warm hug. Everyone closed their eyes. It was peaceful, quiet and-
SPLASH! Everyone's eyes snapped open and they saw Gemini in the middle to the hot tub.
Sagittarius sighed. "It was so peaceful before you interrupted us."
"What are you doing here?" asked Virgo.
Aries pointed to the second hot tub. "There's two hot tubs, this one is kind of full."
"These hot tubs can fit about twenty people," said Gemini who sat down beside Aries and started braiding her hair.
"Alright you can stay. Just let us relax okay?" asked Virgo.
"Okay... Me and my friends."
"WHAT?!?" shouted Virgo, Aries, Aquarius and Sagittarius at the same time.
Capricorn, Taurus and Leo ran in. Leo did a front flip into the pool, Capricorn and Taurus got in the hot tub, sitting by their girlfriends.
"You really know how to annoy us don't you Gemini?" asked Aries.
"As long as you all behave." Virgo lightly smacked Taurus on the head. "Do you need me to tell you what behave means?"
"We'll be good!" promised Capricorn. "As long as I get to stay next to Saggi."
"Can we throw him in the pool?" joked Sagittarius.
"Meanwhile I'm all alone over here," said Aquarius.
Taurus smirked. "We can call Leo over for you."
"NO THANKS! Loners are cool," said Aquarius. She did NOT want Leo bothering her.
"Where's Scorpio and Cancer?" asked Sagittarius.
"Couldn't get away from Pisces," replied Taurus.
Capricorn sighed. "Well they could, but Pisces was having so much fun and they didn't want to make her sad."
Leo got out of the pool and sat in the hot tub beside Gemini."Good thing we keep the pool heated during winter."
Gemini thought of another "genius" idea. He grabbed Aries by the waist.
"Don't you dare." He picked her up and carried her over to the pool. Gemini threw Aries in the deep end and jumped in with her. "I was so warm and comfy in the hot tub..."
"I wanted to swim and I wanted someone to come with me," said Gemini.
"You could've asked Leo!"
"Yeah but Leo isn't my girlfriend. Don't you love swimming anyway?"
"I'M NOT YOUR GIRLFRIEND? DOES THAT MEAN YOU'RE BREAKING UP WITH ME?" wailed Leo.
Aquarius threw a towel at him.
Libra walked in wearing her swimsuit and sat down beside Leo in the hot tub. "Oh no! Aquarius is sitting all alone. Come sit by me."
Aquarius smiled and sat beside Libra.
"Are we getting up the same time as last year?" asked Taurus.
"Ask the water and fire signs. They put alarm clocks all over the house and set the alarms for 6 am," said Capricorn.
Virgo sighed. "And then me, Capricorn and Taurus try to track down all the alarms but we can never find them all."
"Hey! It's not my fault the five of us wake up early on Christmas!" said Sagittarius.
"There's six of you now," said Libra.
Leo shrugged. "And we like to watch as all the alarms go off as everyone freaks out."
"Some people never change," muttered Taurus.
"I'd suggest we listen to Christmas music and watch a Christmas movie but Cancer and Scorpio are probably sick of Christmas movies and music," said Aquarius.
Virgo snickered. "For having "inner Christmas spirit" they sure aren't very excited."
"Not to mention they both started acting weird at the exact same time," added Sagittarius.
Leo furrowed his brow. "What do you think is really going on?"
Capricorn shrugged. "Who knows?"
"Scorpio is mysterious, he's always acting funny," said Taurus.
"What about Cancer?" asked Sagittarius.
Virgo paused to think. "Hmmmm... They definitely don't have any "inner Christmas spirit" or whatever."
"What causes two people to act weird at the exact same time?" asked Libra.
"Love?" suggested Leo.
"I don't think so," replied Capricorn.
Sagittarius furrowed her brow. "Maybe they have some kind of secret..."
Libra nodded. "Hmmm... I guess that makes sense."
"But what kind of secret are they keeping?" asked Virgo.
"Love?" suggested Leo again.
"It's not love," said Libra.
Leo shrugged. "There's only one way to find out."
Aquarius crossed her arms. "We're not spying on them."
"Why not?" asked Leo.
"It's weird," replied Taurus.
"When can we decorate the tree?" asked Libra.
"Now, I guess," replied Taurus.
Everyone got out of the hot tub.
"Aries, Gemini you guys coming?" asked Sagittarius.
"I don't want to," whined Aries.
"Come on Aries," said Gemini.
"I love swimming, I'll stay."
Gemini picked her up and everyone went to take showers before decorating the tree.
***
Pisces blew an air horn. Scorpio and Cancer woke up. The glasses of water fell from their foreheads and spilled all over them.
"Seriously?" asked Cancer.
Pisces chuckled. "Sorry I had to,."
"The quiet ones and the dangerous ones," said Scorpio.
"We're decorating the tree now," announced Aquarius as everyone else entered the room.
"I can't wait!" said Pisces excitedly.
***
The zodiacs were taking ornaments out of their boxes and decorated the tree. Leo played Christmas music. Some of the girls and Leo were singing along. Virgo tried to get Taurus to dance with her, until eventually he gave up and danced. After a while Aries decided to take a break. She walked into the kitchen and got some hot chocolate. Then Gemini walked in the kitchen as well.
"What are you doing here?" asked Aries.
"Following you," replied Gemini. "Mistletoe."
Aries looked up and saw a mistletoe hanging from the cupboard above her. Then they kissed.
***
Sagittarius was sprinkling glitter on Capricorn.
"Why are you doing that?" asked Capricorn.
"Fun," replied Sagittarius.
"If you want to have fun why not join them?"
Sagittarius looked over at Aquarius, Libra, Pisces, Leo, Cancer and Scorpio who were singing and dancing.
"Leo. The song goes, all I want for Christmas is you... Not, all I want for Christmas is food..." said Libra.
"You sing your way and I'll sing mine," said Leo.
Sagittarius shrugged. "It's more fun to decorate your hair with glitter."
"Why are there mistletoes all over the house?" asked Virgo.
"Gemini," replied Cancer.
"There's a mistletoe up there in the Christmas tree," said Capricorn. He smirked and kissed Sagittarius.
"ATTENTION WATER AND FIRE SIGNS! DONT FORGET TO SET THOSE ALARMS. YOU KNOW WHERE WE KEEP THEM!" shouted Leo.
"I'm good," said Sagittarius who'd rather spend time with Capricorn than set alarm clocks.
"Where's Aries?" asked Leo.
"I think you're the only fire sign setting alarms this year," said Aquarius.
"Oh well." Leo, Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer ran off to find the alarms they recently bought. Taurus brought out all the presents and placed them under the tree. After a while everyone went upstairs and went to sleep. Although Virgo, Capricorn, Gemini, Taurus, Libra, Aquarius and Aries are the only ones that actually fall asleep right away. Cancer, Leo, Scorpio, Sagittarius and Pisces usually take a while to fall asleep on Christmas Eve.
