Guy speaking- Colin

I literally had my laptop updated and it feels so weird to get used to the new look.

•.:°×═⭐═×°:.•

It is Day 4 of the nature trip, the day before the zodiacs all pack up and go back home. Currently everyone is spread out around the site doing different activities from rock-climbing to trampolines. Today is going to be different since the owners are there to ensure everything is safe.

Tyler and Levin are playing tennis on the tennis courts. Alyssa, Sienna and Cleo are at the  courts as well, but instead of playing tennis they were watching vines on Alyssa's phone at the corner of the tennis courts.

It is Tyler's turn to serve. The male bounced the tennis ball around before turning to Levin. Both males gave a nod and Tyler got ready. He tossed the ball and hit the ball with his racquet, which made it fly over the net.

Levin quickly ran over to the ball and hit it back. Tyler smiled and hit it back. Then the cycle of passing the ball went on until Levin made it land an out.

"Out." Tyler smiled, running to fetch the ball.

"I can see that."

Tyler smiled and then stretched his back, "Well I'm exhausted. Let's take a break shall we?"

Levin nodded. He played around with his racquet before placing it on the floor. Tyler also placed his racquet on the floor along with the tennis ball. The two boys then walked to the side of the court and sat down on the floor.

"You know what? I can't believe that we have to leave this site tomorrow." Tyler sighed, "It seems like our fun has whizzed past. I don't even want to return back to Zodiac Street!"

"You don't want to sleep in your cozy bed again Tyler?" Levin laughed.

Tyler sighed, "I don't know. I sorta wished I can bring my bed here but I can't. Besides school. Ew."

"Ew?"

"Yeah."

"School's not that bad actually."

"Please don't say that word."

"What word?" Levin then snickered, "School?"

Tyler winced. Levin chuckled making Tyler glare at him, "Yes. That word. Don't-"

"SCHOOL!" Levin cheered hearing Tyler scream in frustration. Levin continued teasing his friend, "SCHOOL! SCHOOL! SCHOOL! SCHOOOOOOOOL!!!!"

"STOP! STOP!!!!!!"

"I'm not stopping. SCHOOL! SCHOOL SCHOOL! SCHOO-"

"I hate you."

"Awww that's so sweet of you. I love you too."

"What happened to my friend?" Tyler asked.

Levin snorted with laughter. Tyler shrugged and chuckled as well. They both noticed two females entering the courts. One of the females had long straight black hair and monolid purple eyes and she was wearing a white off-shoulder top with denim blue shorts, white sneakers and a white thick headband.

The other girl however has blonde curly hair, glistening blue eyes and she was wearing a coral coloured tank top with a coral sweater, denim blue skinny jeans and coral coloured sneakers.

The boys were confused about who the two girls are, but the girls knew who the boys are. Both of them walked over to the two males to chat. It is when Levin and Tyler examined the two girls and noticed it was Lily and Phoebe.

"Lily! Phoebe! What happened to you?" Tyler asked. Phoebe started giggling, Lily however raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"What do you mean, 'what happened to you'?" Lily asked doing air quotes on the saying.

"I mean, the hair..."

"What about it?"

Tyler and Levin exchanged glances then back at Lily. Tyler sighed, "I mean Phoebe's hair looks super pretty but Lily.... your hair.."

"Yeah? What about it? It's nice, isn't it?"

"Yeah it is." Tyler replied. Then he muttered, "But the way you adjusted it. It looks like you have a mane."

"Like my sign."

"Well you are a lioness..." Tyler pointed out. He then mumbled, "Lionesses don't have manes.. not to be rude..."

"Tyler." Lily then narrowed her eyes, "Why are saying that? Just because my sign is a lion and I am a female, doesn't mean I can't have this fabulous hairstyle."

The girl then played with a strand of her curly hair, "But anyways. Me and Phoebe were dared to change our hairstyles."

"Dared?" Levin asked.

"Yeah!" Phoebe smiled, "Me and the girls were playing Truth or Dare last night! Giselle didn't play with us though. Lily got dared to make her hair in curls while I was dared to dye my hair to a natural colour and straighten it."

"I am glad I brought along my hair straightener, curling iron and even hair dye." Lily smiled with a sigh.

"Why do you need that?" Tyler wanted to know.

"Just in case!" Lily laughed.

The other three chuckled. They stopped when a familiar female with chest length dark brown hair tied into a high bun (wearing a light blue bandana with a bow on top) and brown eyes ran into the courts. She was also wearing a light blue denim shirtdress with a brown thin braided belt around the waist. The girl is also wearing brown sandals

It was Vivian, and everyone guessed she was excited for something due to the wide smile on her face.

"HEY GUYS, GUESS WHAT?" Vivian asked excitedly.

"You're engaged?" Alyssa joked. She shrugged when she noticed Vivian glaring at the girl.

"If she's engaged, can I be the maid of honour?" Cleo asked, an innocent look clearly showing on her face.

"No. That would be me cause I am fabulous." Sienna played along.

"Even fabulous than Leo?" Alyssa asked.

"No." Sienna replied, shaking her head, "Leo is more fabulous."

"HECK YEAH I AM!" everyone heard Leo shout from the trampolines. Vivian facepalmed.

"Before you three joke around any further, me and Tahlia are sadly not engaged......YET."

"Y E T." Alyssa muttered. She then said a bit louder, "Y E T."

"I regret saying that." Vivian sighed. She then plastered a smile on her face, "Anyways, everyone needs to go to the lake. We're doing a group activity!"

"A group activity by the lake?" Levin asked. He then narrowed his eyes, "Don't tell me we are swimming."

"It's not that. You'll see when we get to the lake. Hurry up, we gotta go there!" Vivian replied. She then ran off to remind the others.

Lily turned to her friends, "Let's see what this group activity is, shall we?"

•.:°×═⭐═×°:.•

[AT THE LAKE]

"So Vivian, what exactly is this group activity?" Lily questioned.

She, Vivian along with the other 22 zodiacs are all gathered at the shore of the lake waiting to know what the group activity is going to be.

On the shore there were six canoes in different colours (red, blue, yellow, green, pink, purple) arranged in a line near the glistening lake. There was also a shack on the shore (which the zodiacs all assumed stores lifejackets and extra oars). On the lake, there are two floating red buoys bouncing in the distance. There is also a white speedboat near the shore, but the zodiacs are all curious to see why it was there.

Oh yeah, the owners (a grown man with black curly hair, green eyes and a shaved beard as well as a woman with shoulder- length brunette hair and hazel eyes) were also there as well. Both the owners were wearing blue shirts with white shorts, white sneakers and white caps. Gilbert and Leo instantly admired the female owner.

"Look at her. She's so pretty!" Gilbert cried out, "I never saw this much beauty in my entire life!"

"I know I have a girlfriend, but dang that woman looks pretty." Leo sighed. He got interrupted by a cough from Skyler.

"Stay loyal to your girlfriend." Skyler scolded Leo.

"I will!" Leo cried out, before walking over to Aika, "Geez."

"I'll stay loyal to MY girlfriend." Gilbert joked before hugging Skyler.

"I'm a guy." Skyler muttered. He then pryed the boy off his arm.

Gilbert pouted, "Yeah, but that doesn't mean I can call you my girlfriend."

"BUT I'M A DU-"

"Boys." Tahlia scolded. Both boys turned to Tahlia, who had her hands on her hips with an unamused expression. The Taurus female then laughed, "Listen to the owners. They suggested this activity."

Tahlia turned to the grown adults, "Take it away."

"Thank you." the grown man smiled with a nod. He then waved at the zodiacs, "Hello zodiacs! Glad to finally meet you all. I'm Derek, and this is my fiancé Krissy. We are the owners of the site and the supervisors for your group activity."

"Awww... she's engaged-" Gilbert pouted like a small child. Vivian raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, she's engaged. Did you notice the ring she has."

"I didn't see it."

"...."

"...."

"..."

"ANYWAYS!" Krissy interrupted the silence with a sing-song voice, "You are all probably wondering why we are here at the lake."

"Um yeah," Leo called out, raising his hand, "Are we swimming? Cause we didn't wear swimsuits."

"They don't need to know that." Vincent sighed, rolling her eyes. Cleo and Tahlia just giggled.

"To answer your question, no. You are not going swimming." Krissy pointed out. The zodiacs all raised an eyebrow and began talking among each other, confused about what the activity might be. Krissy continued, "Instead, you are HAVING A CANOE RACE!"

The zodiacs all erupted into a loud cheer. Some of them were jumping up and down in excitement, while the others are laughing and talking among each other. The only person who didn't cheer (and was strangely quiet) was Gilbert. Sabrina noticed how quiet the male was, so she raised an eyebrow at the male.

"For the race we have 6 teams: Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Pink and Purple. Each team is assigned to the canoe in the same colour as the team. For instance, if your team has a blue canoe, then you are the blue team." Derek explained, "Since there are six boats and twenty-four teenagers here, how about you kids arrange yourselves into groups."

"Um... that would be had since we didn't plan ahe-" Levin pointed out, but he was interrupted by Tahlia, who slid over.

"Never fear!" Tahlia yelled searching through her pockets. She got out her phone and raised it in the air, "My team-arranger app is here!"

The Earth signs and Water signs cheered. As for the Air signs and Fire signs, well... the air signs were applauding. The Fire Signs all look confused.

"There's an app for that?" Alyssa asked.

"Yep!" Tahlia replied proudly as she opened the app. After she opened it, the girl then decided to set it up for the teams to be randomly arranged. The girl smiled, "Surprised?"

"Well.... yeah." Sienna pointed out, "What isn't an app for?"

"Writing?" Alyssa questioned.

"There's an app for that." Vincent pointed out.

"Making music?"

"There's an app for that."

"PLAYING the piano?"

"There's an app for that."

"C a t s."

"Well..."

"Yeah there's an app for that as well." Sienna pointed out, holding up her phone (which had her favourite cat game on it).

"Ok I have the teams!" Tahlia called out, "Some of you may be scared about your teams."

"Well that is scaring me already." Giselle laughed.

The 24 zodiacs all gathered around Tahlia's phone and like expected, Vivian and Skyler groaned. As the others, they are happy with the teams (especially Alyssa, Gilbert and Leo). The teams are:

"Seriously- AGAIN?" Vivian sighed looking down at the floor in despair. She ended up being tackled into a hug by Alyssa, Gilbert and Leo.

"COME ON BFF! WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN!"

"ALYSSA. WE ARE S C R E W E D. ACK-! ALYSSA! LEO! GILBERT! TOO TIGHT! TOO TIGHT!!!!!"

"Ok, now that you have arranged your teams, we may as well explain the rules." Derek smiled, avoiding Vivian crying out for helping her get out of a tight hug, "You may notice that in the canoes there are some special things. First of all, the lifejackets. There are four lifejackets, and they are the same colour as the canoe they are in. Once everyone has picked their canoe and slip into their lifejackets, we can continue."

"So how will we arrange the canoes? I don't want to be in the pink canoe." Skyler inquired, tilting his head to the side. Phoebe did a dramatic gasp.

"How DARE you hurt pink canoe's feeling! Look at it! It's sad thanks to you. OH NO! It's crying. IT'S MAKING ME CRY! THANKS A LOT SKYLER!"

"Um..." Sabrina mumbled turning to Phoebe (who was fake crying), "Are you okay Phoebe?"

"No," Tyler answered for Phoebe, "She took drama lessons from Leo."

"Wait, she did???" Leo whisper-shouted. At this point Vivian is released from the hug and the girl was taking deep breaths. Leo stroked his chin, "More and more people are joining my drama club, I don't get why.."

"You know... we can use a random wheel to determine the order." Tahlia interrupted, getting back on topic. Her statement ended up making Alyssa raise an eyebrow.

"Don't tell me you decided to bring a random wheel to this trip." Alyssa smirked. She then snorted with laughter, "It's probably in the bus isn't it?"

The fire signs all cracked up with laughter. They all stopped laughing when Tahlia raised her phone (AGAIN) and waved it around.

"No, cause..."

"THERE'S AN APP FOR THAT!" the Earth, Air and Water signs yelled out. The Fire Signs all blinked in surprise. Alyssa sighed.

"I-"

Tahlia got the random wheel out, "Ok, I have the wheel. But I need a representative or a leader from each team."

"I'LL BE LEADER OF MY TE-" Alyssa yelled out. Vivian then slid in front of the Aries female.

"I'll be leader of team."

"H O W D A R E Y O U." Alyssa gasped. She then furrowed her eyebrows and crossed her arms, turning her head to the side, "Meanie."

"It's for a reason. We will be riding a canoe. A CANOE." Vivian pointed out, "Who knows what will happen?"

The other team eventually picked their representative of their team. In summary:

Group 1 picked Alex.
Group 2 had Vivian.
Group 3 picked Arlen.
Group 4 picked Sabrina.
Group 5 picked Tahlia.
And Group 6 picked Skyler.

Tahlia placed the six name on the random wheel app. She spun the wheel to get the results, "Whoever is first gets to pick the canoe for the team. Then second, then third and eventually the last team gets the remaining boat."

"Make sure to pick the red boat. Please. Please. Please. Please." Alyssa whispered to Vivian. Vivian sighed.

"Fine-." Vivian uttered, shaking her head. The Virgo female then turned to Tahlia, who is still holding onto her phone, "Take it away Tahlia."

Tahlia nodded and did the spins. The results of the order are:

1. Vivian (Group 2)
2. Tahlia (Group 5)
3. Arlen (Group 3)
4. Sabrina (Group 4)
5. Alex (Group 1 )
6. Skyler (Group 6)

After the order was decided, the teams picked their canoes:

Group 2 picked the red canoe.
Group 5 picked the yellow canoe.
Group 3 picked the blue canoe.
Group 4 picked the green canoe.
Group 1 picked the purple canoe.
As for Group 6 they ended up having...

"UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Skyler hollered when all the teams walked to their canoes, "WHY DO WE HAVE THE PINK CANOE?!?!?!"

"Skyler! You're hurting the pink canoe's feelings!" Colin pointed out, "Look at it! It's sad now."

Pete pretended to talk with the pink canoe. The male then turned to Skyler, "Pink canoe says you have hurt their feelings."

"Canoes don't talk-" Skyler sighed.

Colin secretly kicked the canoe (making it have a loud 'THUNK' sound), "Well it let out a sob right now."

"Guys, instead of talking about the pink canoe," Lily sighed when she picked up the four pink life-jackets. She then gave her team their life-jackets, "Wear this."

Soon everyone had slipped on their life-jackets and made sure they are fitted properly (with the help of Derek and Krissy). After the lifejackets were properly won, the teams stood near the boats, ready to push it in. Gilbert remained silent when he looked down at his team's canoe. He then looked ahead at the lake and gulped.

"Now that the teams are all prepared we should continue." Derek smiled, "In your canoes you also have eight oars, each of you will have two. In case, you are stuck, there is also a teal flag in there. Wave it around so we can see you."

"Ok, but why is it te-" Vincent pointed out before he got interrupted again.

"It's teal because me and Derek actually like the colour. ANYWAYS, the route of the race is pretty simple. It's more like an upside U but with no curves. The race will start from the left side, where the canoes are all at. You will then travel to the buoy on the left side before making way to the buoy on the right side. After you get to the second buoy, you travel back to the shore. The winning team gets donuts. The losing team however, will be pushed into the pool."

Alyssa, Gilbert, Colin, Leo, Sienna, Cameron, Cleo and Pete's all lit up after the word 'donuts' was mentioned. Lizzy noticed the expression from the eight and smiled, "They really like donuts."

"Well that will make things challenging." Krissy laughed, "Anyways, you zodiacs ready?"

"YES!" everyone cheered.

"CAN WE START? I WANT MEH DONUTS!" Alyssa cried out impatiently.

"BE PATIENT!" Vivian scolded.

"Very well, we should start in 3..." Derek then noticed the zodiacs were all ready, "2..."

The team all gave each other a determined look.

"1.5..."

"Wait.." Alyssa muttered, perking up.

"1.4..."

"OH MY GO- CAN WE START ALREADY?"

"GO! GO! GO!"

"Finally." Alyssa muttered. She laughed when she heard her friends cheer as they pushed their canoes into the lake before hopping in and paddling away. Alyssa did a proud smile, "May the best team win!"

•.:°×═⭐═×°:.•

[SOON ON THE LAKE]

"ROW, ROW, ROW YOUR BOAT. GENTLY DOWN THE STREAM-" Leo sang loudly as he and his team rowed their canoe.

His group was fourth place currently (something Alyssa isn't proud of) trying their hardest to be first place. Currently the Purple Team are in first place, the Green Team are in second place, the Yellow Team are in third place, Red Team is in fourth place, the Pink Team is in fifth place and the Blue team is at last place. All teams all passed the first buoy and are currently making their way to the second. Alyssa groaned loudly.

"You guys are slow! AND ROWING IS BORING!" Alyssa complained.

"WE'RE TRYING OUR BEST." Vivian yelled.

"BUT LOOK! THE PURPLE TEAM, GREEN TEAM AND THE YELLOW TEAM ARE IN THE LEAD. WE'LL NEVER GET THOSE DONUTS."

"YES WE WILL."

Leo rolled his eyes at the two girls bickering. He then averted his eyes to Gilbert, who was hugging his knees, rocking back and forth, not rowing. The brown haired male had a look of fear in his eyes. Leo raised an eyebrow.

'Maybe that's why we are fourth place' Leo thought. The blonde haired male then crawled over to Gilbert and sat in front of him and faced him, sitting cross legged, "Hi."

"Hey."

"What's up."

"The sky." Gilbert replied casually. The male then gazed up, noticing the clear blue sky, "It looks nice today."

"Yeah, not a single cloud in the sky."

"Wait- there's a tiny baby cloud over there."

"Seriously?" Leo looked around and finally settled his eyes on a tiny baby cloud all by itself (;-;). Leo grinned, "OH! There it is. It's so lonely.."

"Yeah... and lost. It needs motivation."

"Yeah," Leo agreed. He then yelled at the tiny baby cloud, "TINY BABY CLOUD I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!!"

"YEAH TINY BABY CLOUD! YOU'RE AMAZING!" Gilbert screeched.

"ACTUALLY YOU'RE FABULOUS. GO REACH FOR YOUR DREAMS! YOU'RE FABULOUS!"

"Does the baby cloud have a name?" Gilbert asked, turning his head to Leo.

"No?"

"Oh." Gilbert replied. He then turned to the cloud, "YO CLOUD. I'M NAMING YOU JERRY."

"Awww Jerry loves the name." Leo sighed happily. He then cleared his throat and turned to Gilbert, "Anyways, back on topic. Are you ok bro? You looked scared."

"I'm fine..." Gilbert replied softly, "Just you know... I don't like being in boats... that's all..."

"Why?"

"Well you see...." Gilbert started. He then sighed and looked away, "I don't know about this..."

"What do you mean?"

"It's a lot to take on Leo. You sure you want to hear this?"

"Of course bro. I'm your best friend! Best friends listen to each other's problems right?"

"Yeah..." Gilbert replied softly, nodding in agreement. The male then hugged his knees and took a deep breath, "The reason why I am scared is because I always get scared of canoes and boats."

"But why?"

"Because-"

SPLASH!

Both males turned to find Vivian sitting at the end of the canoe, sitting cross legged while rowing the boat. Alyssa was nowhere to be found. Leo and Gilbert raised their eyebrows.

"Vivian, what was that?" Gilbert questioned.

"What's what?"

"That splash."

"Oh." Vivian replied, "You see, Alyssa was standing up demanding us to row faster. She then walked backwards and fell backwards into the water. That's why."

"You're telling us that Alyssa.... FELL INTO THE WATER?!"

"Yep."

"IS SHE OKAY?!" Gilbert and Leo shouted.

"YEAH, I'M FINE!" Alyssa's voice called out. Vivian, Leo and Gilbert turned to Alyssa's voice and noticed Alyssa floating in the water (with the help of her life-jacket). The Aries female swam up to the hand and held a hand out as she was asking to be helped into the boat, "Leo, help me up."

"Sure." Leo replied, offering his hand to the female. What he didn't know is thatAlyssa wasn't intending to get into the boat. In fact, the girl had pulled Leo's arm, making Leo tumble into the water.

Leo emerged to the surface and stared at Alyssa with an open mouth. Alyssa laughed.

"YOU TRICKED ME!"

"COME ON. IT WAS FUN!" Alyssa laughed. Leo smirked and splashed his friend with water. Alyssa gasped and splashed the male back. Vivian sighed loudly.

"Guys, you know we are going to l-" she ended up being drenched in water by Alyssa and Leo. Vivian glared at the two, "HEY! At least I am not being rocked off."

That made Alyssa and Leo give each other a cheeky smile. The two then swam to the side of the boat and shook it back and forth. The boat teetered back and forth making Vivian fall into the water. Gilbert held onto the boat, hoping he wouldn't topple off.

It failed, Gilbert fell into the water..... along with the oars. Seeing the red team, not in their boat, the pink and blue team rowed past them. Vivian whipped her head towards the laughing fire sign duo.

"SERIOUSLY, WHY DID YOU TWO FIRE SIGNS TIP THE BOAT OVER???" Vivian exclaimed after she and Gilbert swam up to the surface.

"COME ON, WE ARE A TEAM. If I get wet, you're getting soaked as well." Alyssa pointed out.

"That..... sounded.... so wrong on so many levels." Leo muttered. Vivian glared at the male. Leo, noticing this, blinked in innocence, "What? I'm pure."

"Either way, I'M OUT OF THE BOAT. I'M FREEEEEE!" Gilbert cheered.

"Um. We have a boat race to finish." Vivian pointed out. Gilbert sighed and pouted.

"D'awwww...."

"Anyways," Vivian called out, "Let's continue with the race shall we? We're already last place and I don't want to be pushed into the water AGAIN."

The other three nodded and climbed (well Gilbert clambered) into the boat. When they got in, Vivian noticed something.

Something very WRONG.

"Guys?" Vivian asked softly.

"Dang it, the purple team are already back at the shore.... come on guys, we have to paddle."Alyssa then looked around the boat, "Wait... where are the oars?"

"THEY FELL INTO THE WATER FROM THE BOAT TEETERING BACK AND FORTH!" Vivian yelled.

"Well.... s***."

"I agree."

•.:°×═⭐═×°:.•

[EVENTUALLY]

Meanwhile back at the shore, the purple, green and yellow team are back from the race. They are all talking to each other, while waiting for the other three teams to arrive. The purple team were all celebrating because they would be the ones who would be having donuts.

As for the other teams, they didn't mind.

Vincent was sitting by himself on the sand. Ever since the costume party last night, the male was heartbroken. He never expressed his feelings to the outside, in fact the male kept them inside making sure to not spill out his feelings.

The male is now drawing a heart in the sand. He then drew a zig-zag in the middle of the heart-shape reaching from the top to the bottom. The male didn't notice a familiar female with a dark brown ponytail and glistening blue eyes, watching him.

"A broken heart?" Sabrina questioned, raising an eyebrow, "I didn't know you are heartbroken."

"Stop scaring me like that!" Vincent jumped, quickly messing up the broken heart picture in the sand with his shoe. The male then brushed his hair through his hair, "I'm not heartbroken. I'm really not."

The male did an awkward giggle. Sabrina crossed her arms and then sat next to the Virgo male, raising an eyebrow.

"Lies. I saw that broken heart." Sabrina frowned, "Besides I already know you are lying. Your awkward giggle and look tells everything."

"How DARE you accuse my awkward giggling as a lie!" Vincent cried out dramatically. This made Sabrina facepalm.

"V i n c e n t."

"Fine, you got me. I lied."

"CAUGHT IN A LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!!!" Sabrina sang loudly. She then laughed and quickly put a straight face on, "Sorry."

"It's fine."

"What are you quiet about anyways?" Sabrina asked. She then smirked, "You fell in love with Cameron?"

"NO!" Vincent cried out, "Didn't I tell you guys that I am straight."

"Yeah you did, but no one listens. You know what they are like anyways."

Vincent nodded, "Yeah. The thing is I have a crush."

"OOOOH IS IT CAMERON!"

"SABRINA!"

"Sorry! But continue."

"IT'S NOT A GUY." Vincent pointed out, "It's a girl."

"Phoebe?"

"No."

"Lily?"

"No."

"Cleo?"

"No."

"Me?"

"Definitely no."

"Then who? Oh wait...."

Sabrina remembered about the encounter she had with Giselle at the campfire. The same event where she heard Giselle admit her crush on Sabrina but ended up being interrupted b Gilbert and Vincent. Sabrina also remembered the look on Vincent's face. Pure hurt.

Sabrina's mouth dropped to an 'O', "It's Giselle isn't it?"

"Yep."

"I knew it."

"Yeah, but she likes you."

"I'll be honest.." Sabrina muttered, "I am confused why people like me."

"Well you're cool," Vincent stated, "also smart."

"But I'm not book-smart!"

"You kinda are, but you are mostly street-smart."

"That is true," Sabrina smiled, "But this is confusing. You like Giselle, but she and Gilbert like ME." She then stroked her chin and raised an eyebrow, "It's like a love N."

"Oh gosh-" Vincent muttered, "I can see it now. But I don't think Giselle likes me."

"Don't say that. It may not be true!"

Vincent nodded. He then averted his gaze at the lake. The blue team and the pink team have just arrived. The red team are still seen on the lake... but they were not moving. This made Vincent curious.

"Hey, the red team are not moving."

"Huh?" Sabrina asked, turning to what Vincent is looking at. Her eyes then widened, "Oh. They're been there for a while."

"I think they're stuck."

"Looks like it." Sabrina agreed, "I'll tell Krissy and Derek right now."

[MEANWHILE]

"HELP!!!! I'M STUCK!!!" Vivian screamed. Leo turned to the female and raised an eyebrow.

"You do notice you are NOT the only one who is stuck right now?" Leo said pointing to Alyssa (who was lying down in the boat) and then Gilbert (who was rocking back and forth, wishing he was back on shore), "Me, Alyssa and Gilbert are here as well."

"I'm tired." Alyssa complained.

"Me too" Vivian sighed.

"Tired of your bulls***.""

Vivian did a dramatic gasp, "HOW COULD YOU?!"

"Guys?" Gilbert whimpered, "I'm scared. When are the going to fetch us?"

"They'll come, we just need patience." Vivian reassured.

"Patience??????" Alyssa shouted.

"Of course. We need to wait until a speedboat comes or something." Vivian replied. She then looked towards the shore and sighed, "They couldn't leave us out here, stuck."

"Hey guys! What's that white speeding thing?" Leo asked as he pointed at something that had just left the shore.

The others turned to what Leo is pointing to and noticed a white speedboat speeding (>) towards them. In the speedboat, the red team noticed Derek, Krissy and...

"TAHLIA!" Vivian waved wildly at the boat. Tahlia noticing this, waved back.

The speedboat slowed down and turned towards the shore when they go to the canoe. Derek then got out a hook and made it connect with the canoe. Leo, Vivian and Alyssa climbed onto the speedboat.

"Thank goodness we're saved." Vivian sighed happily. She then turned to Gilbert, who is staring at the boat with wide eyes.

Alyssa offered her hand to Gilbert, "Come on Gilbert, it's a speedboat, it's not going to hurt you. Come on. I'll help you on."

Gilbert stared at the hand, "You're going to help me up and then push me into the water."

"She won't." Tahlia reassured, offering a hand to Gilbert, "Come on. It's now or never."

Gilbert nodded. He gulped and held onto Alyssa and Tahlia's hands, allowing them to help him on the speedboat. When he got on, He immediately sat down next to Leo.

"Let's head back." Vivian smiled.

•.:°×═⭐═×°:.•

[LATER]

The zodiacs had fun doing the boat race. Since the purple team won, they ended up getting 24 homemade donuts. But before they had the donuts, the Red team was pushed in the pool.

However, the Earth and Fire signs were dragged into the pool as well. When they got out, the purple team ended up giving everyone a donut each since they all know it wouldn't be faair if they had it for themselves.

It is now night-time and the owners have returned back to their house. As for the zodiacs, they were all walking outside in clothing suitable for sports & hiking.

The night sky was speckled with dimly-lit stars and a soft cool breeze is brushing past the trees. The only sounds that can be heard where the crickets chirping, the owls hooting and 24 zodiacs laughing and talking among each other while shining their flashlights.

In case you are wondering where the zodiacs are doing, they are walking to the clearing section in between the ziplines. According to Vivian there was something special the zodiacs need to admire. Since the others are curious, they wanted to find out on the night before they head home.

Anyways, the zodiacs have just arrived at the clearing and they all stood in a circle. Vivian gave everyone a smile.

"So, what is this you need to show us?" Tyler asked, "You said it is beautiful but never told us what."

"Yeah I am curious," Lily added getting out a hair tie. She then tied her curly blonde hair into a ponytail, "What is it?"

"You'll find it out today." Vivian smiled. The girl then laid down on the grass and stared up at the sky. Noticing the others were staring, the Virgo female gave a nod of courtesy, "Join me."

The other zodiacs exchanged glances with each other and then at Vivian. Finally after an awkward silence, Tahlia walked up to Vivian and laid down next at the left side and giggled. Cleo joined her housemates and laid down on the right side. Soon everyone else followed pursue.

They all laid there in silence, their flashlights still shining. That's when Vivian whispered...

"Turn off the flashlights and look up at the sky."

The others were confused about why Vivian told them to turn off the flashlights and look up at the sky, but they did it anyways. After they did the instruction, there was a collective gasp from the zodiacs.

There, staring back at them, were lots and lots of brightly-lit stars. There were too many to count for the zodiacs, but it was beautiful in their opinion.

"It's beautiful...." Sabrina gasped.

"It's nature's beauty," Vivian replied, "Sometimes we need a break from our daily routines and appreciate what the wonders of nature are. It's beautiful."

"So we just admire mountains and trees?" Leo asked softly, holding onto Aika's hand.

"Not only that." Tahlia answered for Vivian, "Animals as well. You know... pandas, peafowls, dolphins, meerkats, monkeys, sheep, turtles-"

"Cats?" Cleo and Sienna suggested.

"Yes, also all the other animals." Tahlia smiled. She then sighed happily, "I love nature, it's so beautiful."

"I can stare at this sky for hours." Pete mumbled.

"But you need food." Colin pointed out. The ginger male already understood what Pete mentioned, but he mentioned food to make sure.

"You can be my butler and deliver the food for me."

"Oh...."

Skyler laughed, "That was a fail."

The other zodiacs chuckled. Colin was at first confused but he later joined in with the laughter. They all admired the stars in silence until Cleo pointed at something.

"LOOK! A shooting star!" the young girl chimed.

"QUICK! MAKE A WISH!" Lizzy smiled.

The zodiacs all made their wishes. After they wished, Cleoi turned to the others, her eyes twinkling like the stars in the sky, "What did you guys wish for?"

"We can't tell you Cleo." Sam laughed, "Our wish won't come true."

The others chuckled. They then started to connect the stars to make constellations and even talked about the stories behind some constellations. That's when Vivian fell silent.

"Back on the nature topic," Vivian sighed, "It's beautiful. We should all acknowledge it."

The others nodded in agreement.

"It has given us so much.." Tahlia whispered, "And we should be grateful for it and acknowledge it."
