It was a clear sunny day today. The sun is shining, the birds are screeching loudl- wait....I take that back-. The sun is shining, the birds are singing and the zodiacs are all at the park having a BBQ.

Vincent whistled to himself as he flipped a burger patty on the grill. He whistled some more, before frowning to find Cameron flipping a sausage near the burger patty.

The two boys were not the only ones at the BBQ area, in fact Tahlia, Colin, Alex and Lizzy were in the same area as well. The four (or shall I say three becaue Colin is sleeping at the picnic table) were busy setting up the food. The other zodiacs are  at the park as well, but the zodiacs arranging the food knew where they are:

- Gilbert, Giselle and Sabrina went to admire the ducks
- Leo, Sienna, Aika, Sam, Cleo and Phoebe decided to head to the playground together
- Skyler and Carol decided to go for a walk together
- Levin, Arlen, Pete and Tyler decided to see a baseball game nearby while dragging Lily with them.
- Whie Alyssa and Vivian decided to go for a jog together.

Anyways, Vincent turned to Cameron and crossed his arms, "Can't you wait your turn?"

"Can't." Cameron replied, "Vivian expected the sausages and patties to be done by the time the others return."

"And when do the others return?"

"I don't even know bro."

"This is lovely," Tahlia smiled to herself, "Spending today with our friends together, enjoying the nice sunshine. That's the purpose for today's BBQ."

"Actually, we are here to appreciate what we are!" Lizzy sighed happily

Alex sighed, "No Lizzy and Tahlia, it's all about eating food."

"Actually today is a day to get away from how questionable society is." Alyssa, who just appeared out of nowhere, replied with a smirk. This made Cameron scream and Colin wake up.

"BUNNIES WITH LASER  EYES!" the Cancer male cried out.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"... What?" Vincent asked.

"What?" Colin repeated.  He then breathed a sigh of relief, "It's all a dream."

"That is.... a weird dream." Alex muttered.

"Yet super hillarious, like all your reactions. You should've seen the look on your faces!" Alyssa laughed before a hand touched her shoulder. The girl turned to find Vivian standing there.

"Alyssa, I think you shouldn't bother them." Vivian pointed out, "They are all busy."

"Oh no Vivi, we're almost done actually. We just need to grill these last few patties and sausages and we're done."

"Ok that's great!" the Virgo female replied as she sat down at the picnic table. She then giggled at the sight of the aprons and chef hats Vincent and Cameron are wearing. You would of expected the aprons to be normal and in a colour other than pink, but noooooo that did not happen.  Vincent and Cameron were wearing pink aprons and chef hats....

Make that HOT PINK aprons with HOT PINK chef hats. The aprons have a pictureof a sparkly unicorn on it. As for the chef hat, it had the words 'SPARKLE FRIENDS' in a dark purple metalic writing at the rim of the hat. Seeing this made Vivian laugh.

"What are you laughing at Vivian?" Lizzy and Alyssa asked.

Vivian, unable to respond, pointed to Vincent and Cameron wearing the aprons and then burst into laughter again. Lizzy and Alyssa turned to where Vivian is pointing at and then as expected, burst into laughter.

Vincent narrowed his eyes, "Let me guess, you are laughing about the aprons and chef hats."

"Well..... yeah," Alyssa replied, wiping her eyes from crying with laughter, "I didn't know you two two love hot pink and unicorns."

"We don't. Well we like unicorns but..." Cameron then glared at Vivian, "This woman right here decided to buy these aprons with matching chef hats."

"You said not to buy pink unicorn aprons with the matching hats." Vivian pointed out, shaking her index finger at the two boys, "You didn't say HOT pink aprons with matching hats."

Vincent and Cameron sighed and then turned to the BBQ, "Smart."

"Yeah I know. I'm the queen of things up my sleeve." Vivian bragged, doing a hairflip, "They say 'Vivian is unstoppable'!"

"Uh huh.." Cameron and Vincent replied, both secretly planning something to get back at Vivian.

•.:°×═⭐🌟═×°:.• (Turns out Bob and his girlfriend have been dating for a long time. I'm so proud.)

"I am so confused," Lily muttered as she looked  through the baseball fencing at the baseball game played by little 7-9 year old male children in front of her, "Why do we need to watch little kids play baseball?"

"Cause baseball is amazing?" Levin rreplied.

"Baseball is fabulous." Tyler added.

"Baseball is life." Arlen pointed out.

"Baseball is...uh," Pete then pondered fora bit, "My everything."

Tyler snorted and gripped his hand on the fence while chuckling softly. Lily however just rolled  he eyes.

"You guys are just- I don't honestly get why we are watching some little kids play baseball," Lily sighed, "It's not like any of us is going to play the game."

"I see you four are interested in baseball." a man's voice called out.

The five teens jumped and turned to whoever is talking to them. They all breathed a sigh of relief when they noticed the baseball coach was talking to them. Wait a minute...

"Y-Yeah, in fact," Pete then put an arm around Lily's shoulders, "Our friend Lily here really loves baseball and wants to have a try."

"W H A T?" Lily hissed.

"Yeah, you heard us." Tyler played along, "She really loves baseball."

"Your friend really wants to play baseball?" the coach asked, "Well ok, you can have a try."

"Aha... can I talk to my friends about this?" Lily laughed nervously.

The coach gave a nod and then walked away. When his back is turned, Lily glared at her friends.

"Why would you four put me into a baseball game?!" Lily hissed, "I don't even know how to play baseball!"

"The game is pretty easy really. All you need to do it hit the baseball thrown at you. There are four bases in a kite format: Home plate, first base, second base and third base. First base is to your right, second base is in front of the homebase and third base is the one to the left." Levin explained.

"There are two teams the batting team and the fielding team... at least that's how I say it if I am not mistaken. The fielding team catches the ball that the batter bats. There is one member of the team who throws the ball at the batter in order for them to hit the ball." Arlen added, "The batting team must hit the ball and get points for their team and that is by running to the bases. Remember each team has nine players, no more or less. If there are less players, they are disqualified. If there are more players, they have to sit out in the dugout."

"The longer time the fielders get the ball, the more time you have to run to a base.  But if the fielders catch the ball immediately before you get to a base, you are OUT. Remember, there are three outs for each team, but you are only having a test drive so... that isn't a big problem. And oh yeah, in order to get a run, you must touch all three bases." Pete smiled.

"This sounds familiar, I think I remember my dad watching a ton of baseball games." Lily pointed out.

"Well I am sure you already know the rules!" Tyler laughed, "There's also home run and that's when the ball is out of the playing field or in the playing field but the fielders are given more time to get the ball. When you hit a home run, it  gives you time to run. If you are lucky, you can get past all three bases and make it to the home plate to get a point! Makes  sense?"

"You guys are the worst for dragging me into a game, but I think I got it."Lily mutteed.

"Good, now get out there and score a run!" Tyler cheered.

(A/N: I've done some research on baseball while I was writing this chapter, Imean I have played T-ball which is similar to baseball before, but let me know if there'ssomething wrong or missing forthe baseball part. Big thank you to -_honeyyy_- for explaining the rules of baseball)

Lily rolled her eyes. She jumped over the fence and walked over to the coach, "Ok coach, I am ready."

"Great! Daniel here is going next, but I am sure he wouldn't mind  giving you his turn."

Daniel, a small seven year old boy with brown hair, green eyes and freckles, looked Lily up and down, "She's a girl. This is a boys team."

"Dang Daniel~." Pete and Arlen gasped. (A/N: I think the name 'Daniel' is great, just I am stuck on what to call the kid.)

"Oh?" Lily asked, before tying her hair into pigtails. She was given a helmet by the coach and put it on, "Just because I am a female lion, doesn't mean I can't play."

"What?"

"Nothing!" Lily sang, "Now hand the bat young one."

The young boy sighed and handed Lily his bat. Lily smiled and walked to the home plate. She then got ready to hit the ball. The coach nodded to the guest team, whose pitcher got ready to bowl. The pitcher nodded and then threw the ball to the home base..

•.:°×═❇═×°:.• (Looks like Bob's friend Jack has a new look)

"Sabrina~." Gilbert called out as he croached near the lake.

"What?" Sabrina replied, narowing her eyes as she stared at the pond.

She along with Gilbert was sitting down near the pond watching the ducks swim by. Giselle is with them, but for some reason, the Gemini female was squinting her eyes looking around in confusion.

"SaBrInA~" Gilbert repeated.

"W H A T?!"

"Look at the ducks!" Gilbert squealed, pointing to a duck swimming by. The duck noticed the boy and quacked. Gilbert attempted to quack back, making Sabrina roll her eyes.

"Yeah..... what about them?"

"THEY'RE SO CUTE!"

"They are, aren't they?" Sabrina smiled, watching two ducklings swim by to get to their parents.

"And you're cute as well."

"..."

"..."

".... What's that? I wasn't listening."

"Oh..."

Sabrina noticed Gilbert had decided to watch something else, a baseball game in the diistance. The Scorpio female chuckled and then turned to Giselle, frowning when she noticed the female was squinting her eyes, "You ok?"

Giselle jumped. She turned to Sabrina and frowned when she noticed Sabrina.... looked blurry, and Giselle knew why. She had never told anyone this before, but Giselle wears contacts. She also has glasses but she never wears them.

Today Giselle had forgotten to put on contacts. Uh oh.

"What are you talking about. I'm fine!" Giselle smiled.

Sabrina raised an eyebrow, "Then why are you squinting?"

"OOOOH THERE'S A BIG GIRL PLAYING BASEBALL WITH LITTLE KIDS!" Gilbet gushed, currently watching the baseball game.

"Gilbert.... shush." Sabrina muttered.

"Cause...... I'm..... tired! Yeah, that!" Giselle smiled,"There's nothing wrong Sabrina. Honest. Haha."

"Stop lying to me Giselle. You already know I hate lies." Sabrina sighed, "When you'e tired, you don't squint your eyes. Your eyelids droop."

"Well you got me there. I forgot my contact lenses back home." Giselle admitted, "I brought my glasses over, but I don't wanna wear them."

"Giselle- no one is going to judge."

"What makes you say that?" Giselle questioned, getting out her nice pair of glasses.

"Well think about it. Cameron wears glasses but no one judged him. And remember that photo of young Lizzy, she wore glasses-"

"But she doesn't anymoe."

"Still." Sabrina replied, "No one is going to judge."

"You sure?"

"Yes. I am sure."

"Ok, if you say so..."

Giselle examined her glasses beore putting them on. She turned to Sabrina, who for some reason looked shocked.

"Oh. My. God. Giselle!" she then did a cooing voice,"YOU LOOK SO ADORABLE!"

"Um..... are you ok Brina?" Giselle asked, "I'm not a baby you know."

"I know, but keep those glasses on. You look so cute!"

Giselle smiled, "Why, thank you."

"Sabrina?" Gilbert asked suddenly.

"What is it now?" Sabrina asked.

"That girl has recieved a home run and she just got a point for her team."

"I never understand baseball." Giselle admitted, "I find it hard to understand."

"Who that girl is playing baseball and scored a home run, I feel happy for her family and jealous or her friends because they have an amazing baseball player."

(Meanwhile on the baseball field)

"Not again." Lily mumbled as she walked away from the home plate.

She gave Daniel the bat an the coach the helmet before jumping over the fence to catch up with Tyler, Levin, Arlen and Pete. For some reason, the four boys were staring at her in shock. Lily simply walked past them.

"Let's head back to the picnic table. I think food is ready." Lily instructed, "We wouldn't want to keep the others waiting."

The other boys nodded and followed the female to the picnic table. They all exchanged glances with each other with wide eyes.

"I think next time, we should not trigger Lily...." Arlen mumbled softly,watching Lily skip away.

"Good idea." was the other males' response.

•.:°×═⭐═×°:.•

(Soon at the picnic table)

"And then we saw this REALLY REALLY adorable kitten in a bush." Cleo gushed to the other zodiacs as they sat around the picnic table eating the food that was offered to them. Cleo sighed, "I wanted to keep it, but it belonged to someone else."

"We'll get you a kitten Cleo, we promise." Tahlia offered to Cleo. This of course made Cleo gasp.

"YOU REALLY THINK SO?" Cleo smiled,"My kitten will be so adorable and fluffy and-"

"Imaginary." Skyler finished, making the others glare at him, "What? I was joking."

"I want a kitten too!" Sienna admitted.

"Get a kitten Sienna! We can be cat buddies! Meow!" Cleo giggled.

"Anyways, enough of the kitten talk. What did you guys do while we were making the food?" Lizzy asked.

"Me and Aika just sat down on a bench and watched Leo, Phoebe, Cleo and Sienna screech at each other on the playground." Sam pointed out, "Leo had a lot of kids in his kingdom and he was being a king."

"Something I found adorable." Aika smiled.

"I did not find that adorable."

"Me and Skyler just took a lot of pictures of nature." Carol smiled, "I must say, my photography has improved a lot."

"I played in a baseball game." Lily sighed.

"Hold on, you were that girl that did the homerun?" Sabrina aske.

"Yeah?"

"Me, Sabrina and Giselle watched the game while we were at the pond." Gilbert pointed out, "And Sabrina said she feels jealous for the people who are the batter's friend. Funny thing is she is a friend of yo-"

"Anyways, is it just me or Giselle is wearing glasses?" Arlen interupted.

Giselle smiled and nodded,"Yeah I am wearing glasses."

"It looks good on you."

"Why thank you."

"Me and Alyssa went walking and we have discusse something regarding the whole group." Vivian smiled, "Basically a trip...or rather a vacation.."

"Vivian! I wanna say what it is." Alyssa complained.

"Well so do I."

"Rock Paper Scissors?"

"Sure."

Both the girls got ready in a rock, paper,scissors stance. The others silently watched as the two girls did their game, "ON YOUR MARK, GET SET GO, ROCK PAPER SCISSORS!"

Vivian and Alyssa both got rock. They tried again, "ROCK PAPER SCISSORS !"

Same thing. The girls continued doing the same thing, but everyround the endedup in a draw. It was until the 25th try.

"ROCK PAPER SCISSORS!"

Vivian got scissors and Alyssa got rock. Alyssa cheered loudly while Vivian laughed.

"She used rock all the time." Vivian laughed. Alyssa shushed her.

"Not gonna lie, I would do that too." Tahlia smiled.

"So Alyssa, what is this group trip you have planned?" Pete asked the Aries female.

"Well me and Vivian had a talk about it. Since the last group trip happened in a city-like area, we have decided to do something kinda similar to that...... but with NATURE."

"That's right. We are going to stay in cabins near the woods. There also happens to be a large lake near the area."

"AND A ROCK CLIMBING WALL, AND A SWIMMING POOL, A CAMPFIRE, A FOREST, A GIANT SWING, A ZIPLINE, AND A TRAMPOLINE!" Alyssa added loudly.

"There will be five cabins. Four for sleeping in,and one fo the living quarters and the kitchen." Vivian smiled, "Each cabin holds 6 people."

"I have a question, when is this exactly?" Sabrina asked as she raised her hand, "It better not be the day after tomorrow."

"Alyssa wanted that to happen, but it cannot happen the day after tomorrow since we need a lot of time to get the things we need for the event." Vivian replied, "We will go next week for five days, the first day being the day we travel there and the last day being the day we travel back home. It will be far."

"That gives us lots of time to prepare." Lizzy smiled,"To be honest, I'm excited for this already."

"Same." the others replied.
