A/N: I'm baaaaaaaaaaack! Sorry for taking wayyyyyyyy too long to update. Writers block was unreal for this chapter. Quicker updates for now on!

"All I want for Christmas is youuuuuuuuuu~" sang Sagittarius as she walked into the living room. "Huh?" It was empty.

Sagittarius walked over to the window and opened the curtains. It was lightly snowing outside. Taurus and Cancer were running around the front yard while throwing snow at each other.

Where is everyone else? Sagittarius pulled out her phone and texted on a group chat called Leo is a piece of shit.

Sagittarius: where are u all?

Leo changed the group chat name to: Aries is a bigger piece of shit

Sagittarius: its getting close to Christmas. Let's decorate the tree or watch Christmas movies or something

Gemini: were you actually in a relationship before

Gem: well... not really. It's complicated

Gemini: are you serious or are you messing with us?

Gem: guess you'll never know

Gemini: I'll find out. I have spies in Geminus

Gem: good thing I had a false name and moved around a lot before coming to the neutral continent! None if your spies know who I am

Gemini: I'm sure there's someone

Gem: I literally popped out of thin air, nobody on the elemental continents knows my real name

Gemini: what about Gina? Did she know?

Gemini was kicked from the chat

Gem: next one to talk about her also gets kicked

Virgo: we could bake cookies or something

Virgo: that's so sweet!

Libra: that's not true!

Virgo: I can't believe you're always making jokes about us dating

Capricorn: so it's a love story? 😏

Capricorn was kicked from the chat

Libra: Sag and Aqua are friends but they're not dating!

Scorpio: they also don't hold each other's hands at every opportunity

Virgo: we don't do that either

Libra: friends hold hands all the time! Aries and Leo always hold hands!

Aries: 😉

Aries changed the group chat name to Leo's hands are warm

Scorpio: this chat is a mess

Leo changed the group chat name to I don't hold hands with Aries, stop making it seem like we're a couple or something, that's weird

Aries changed the group chat name to: YOU'RE weird

Virgo: good idea

Virgo: come on Libra, let's go!

"This is stupid," muttered Capricorn. Everyone was tied in place by vines.

Scorpio rose an eyebrow. "Shouldn't you be able to break free?"

Capricorn sighed. "Nope. Taurus and Virgo combined their powers."

Virgo and Taurus stood at the front of the living room, chuckling at the others.

Libra walked into the living room. "Listen up guys, I only have a few seconds to say this!"

"Why?" asked Sagittarius. "Are we in a hurry?"

"No, I mean before your short attention spans kick in. We're going to split into groups. The first group will bake desserts for later, the second group will decorate, and the third group will play Christmas music and pick out Christmas movies for later. We'll all decorate the tree later on."

"Could you repeat that?" asked Pisces. "My short attention span didn't get all of that."

Libra rolled her eyes. "Virgo was kind enough to pick the groups for you based off who would work better in what group."

Virgo pulled a list out of his pocket. "Okay, so Sagittarius, Libra, Gemini, and Cancer will bake cookies, Leo, me, Capricorn, and Pisces will decorate, while everyone else does the movie and Christmas music thing."

"Should we let them go now?" asked Taurus.

Virgo nodded. The vines uncurled around everyone.

"Fuck that list, the fire sign sisters are sticking together!" Sagittarius grabbed Aries and Leo's arms and pulled them into the kitchen to bake treats.

"Wait! Can they do that?" asked Taurus.

Scorpio shrugged. "Well, they kinda just did. So I guess the rest of us have to figure out what to do."

"I want to bake cookies!" Gem ran into the kitchen with the fire signs.

"Well, I want to decorate," said Capricorn.

Gemini walked over beside Capricorn. "And I want to annoy Capricorn."

Capricorn stepped on Gemini's foot. "Can he get put in another group?"

"Me and Taurus should decorate too, that way it's all the couples in one group!" suggested Cancer.

"But Libra and Virgo aren't in that group," smirked Scorpio.

Aquarius shrugged. "So it's me, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio and Pisces in the last group. Cool."

Everyone then started doing what they were supposed to do.

***

The fire signs and Gem were baking cookies.

"Let's make them extra chocolatey," cheered Aries as she poured brown and white chocolate chips in the cookie batter.

"Let's eat raw cookie dough." Sagittarius smiled as she reached in the bowl and grabbed a ball of cookie dough.

"We can't do that!" Leo swatted Sagittarius' hands away before she could steal more.

"Why not?" Gem was relaxing on top of the counter, her legs dangling off the side. "There's no one to stop us."

Leo smiled. "You're right!"

Aries pulled four spoons out of a cupboard and handed one to everyone. "Bon appétit."

Everyone dug into the cookie dough. They had it halfway gone when the kitchen door opened.

"I thought you were supposed to bake the cookie dough, not eat it all,"

"AQUA!" Sagittarius ran over to her best friend and jumped on his back, almost knocking him over in the process.

Gem raised an eyebrow. "Get lost?"

Aquarius shook his head. "I got bored so I decided to see what you guys were doing."

Leo threw a handful of chocolate chips at him. "I bet you came to steal our cookie dough!"

"Did not!"

Sagittarius hopped off Aquarius' back and dug into the cookie dough with her spoon. "It's almost gone. We should make more."

Aries shrugged. "Well, we'll be killed by Libra if we don't bake cookies so." She walked over to the fridge and pulled out more packs of cookie dough.

"You're not making the cookie dough from scratch?" asked Aquarius.

Leo chuckled. "No. The cookie dough is already made, we just have to add extra chocolate chips. The only thing we can make from scratch is cheesecake."

"I'll help." Aquarius opened a bag of chocolate chips and poured some in the bowl.

"These ones too!" Aries handed him some white chocolate chips.

Aquarius nodded and added them.

"So that means we can eat every last bit of the first cookie dough?" Gem didn't wait for an answer before taking an oversized spoon full of cookie dough.

"Let's turn on some music!" Sagittarius scrolled through her music app before blasting a popular song that was currently playing on the radio.

"I hate that song." Gem took the phone out of Sagittarius' pocket and picked a new song.

"Let's dance!" Aries grabbed Sagittarius and started dancing.

"Are you guys just going to stand there or what?" asked Gem.

Aquarius shrugged before hesitantly dancing with Leo. Sensing the awkwardness, Sagittarius switched partners with Leo not too long after.

Everyone continued dancing and forgot all about the cookies.

***

Taurus, Gemini, and Cancer were putting up decorations. Capricorn was being a nuisance.

"Mistletoe!" cheered Capricorn while holding a mistletoe in front of Taurus and Cancer.

"Punch in the face!" Cancer stepped forward to punch Capricorn.

Capricorn easily grabbed Cancer's wrist. "You don't announce your moves before you make them."

"Gemini what are you doing?" Taurus eyed Gemini who grinned at a bottle of fake snow.

"What is that?" Cancer grabbed the bottle to inspect it. He accidentally sprayed some on the side of his face.

"It's fake snow." Taurus took the bottle from Cancer. "You spray it on windows to make it look like snow."

"What a useless thing to buy," muttered Capricorn while lying back on the sofa.

"Almost as useless as you right now," smirked Taurus.

Gemini walked over and sat on Capricorn's legs.

"Get off." Capricorn tried to push Gemini off. Gemini chuckled and tickled Capricorn's feet.

"While those two fool around, how about we actually get stuff done?" suggested Taurus.

Cancer nodded. "Good idea. Let's put the stockings over the fireplace, and we can set up little Christmas displays on the coffee table-"

"You think we can put something on the coffee table without it getting broken? Remember the countless things Leo and Sagittarius knocked of those coffee tables?"

"We could just disown Leo and Sagittarius."

"If we could, we would have a long time ago."

"Hey, they're not THAT bad," commented Gemini. "The one that should get disowned is Gem."

Capricorn furrowed his brow. "You're the one that allowed her to stay with you."

"It's a joke."

"Obviously, I'm just pointing out the flaw in your joke."

Taurus impatiently tapped her foot on the floor. "Will you guys help or what?"

"Nah." Capricorn managed to free a leg and kick Gemini off of him. "I'm quite comfortable."

Gemini grabbed Capricorn's legs and hauled him off the couch. "Come on, lazy ass."

Capricorn stood up and started suspiciously walking around, thinking about what to do.

"Here." Taurus shoved some decorations in Gemini's hands. "Put these up somewhere."

Gemini groaned and finally started helping.

After a while, Cancer sighed heavily. "Look what Capridumb did."

Taurus walked over to the windows. Someone drew some... interesting designs on the windows with the fake snow. "I give up!"

***

Libra, Virgo, Scorpio, and Pisces were in the pillow room.

"Aqua has been gone a while, I don't think he's coming back," noted Pisces.

"He's probably hanging out with one of the other groups." Libra sighed. "Doesn't surprise me."

Scorpio chuckled. "Virgo are you okay?"

Virgo was lying facedown on the hammock floor. "I'm just bored."

"Let's start picking Christmas music." Scorpio got on YouTube on her phone. "Libra is in charge of writing down all the songs we choose."

"All I want for Christmas is you," suggested Pisces. "Jinglebell rock, jingle bells, uh... grandma got ran over by a reindeer..."

"Yes. Anything else?" asked Libra while jotting down the songs.

"I'll search some up," Scorpio searched Christmas music on YouTube.

While they did that, Virgo rolled over. "I'm so tired. I think I'll just go to sleep."

Pisces threw a pillow at him. "Get started at making the Christmas movie list. Pick like one or two or three movies."

"Alright." Virgo crawled over to Libra and shared the pencil and paper with her.

At that moment, the decorating team showed up to decorate.

Taurus smiled. "We're just putting up a few things." Taurus and Cancer worked together to hang a missile toe from the ceiling. "The rest of our group are lazy friggers, that's why it's only us."

"Why are we picking out movies and music again?" asked Pisces.

Libra groaned. "Just get it done. We need movies so we can play one when the crazies are being crazy. It will calm them down."

"We treat them like kids," chuckled Virgo.

"They act like kids," scoffed Scorpio.

"We do not," argued Pisces.

"We even have Christmas themed pillows!" Cancer threw some Christmas pillows around the room.

Scorpio looked at the list of Christmas songs. "That should be-"

All of the sudden the fire alarm went off.

"Let's go see what happened this time." Scorpio got up. Everyone else followed.

"Wait. We're not supposed to take an elevator when the fire alarm goes off," warned Virgo.

"Do we have a choice?" asked Scorpio before leading everyone into the elevator.

***

Everyone except for the zodiacs in the kitchen were standing outside in the snow, when Gem opened the door, coughing. "False alarm guys. We left the... cookies in the oven too... long but it's okay! There's no fire."

Everyone walked back inside.

"How irresponsible do you have to be to burn cookies?" asked Gemini.

"We were having a dance party, it's not our fault." Gem walked back into the kitchen.

"Well, I'll go cook supper now. I'll keep an eye on them while I'm at it," announced Capricorn. Then everyone went back to what they were previously doing.
