"Come on, Aqua! We're gonna miss it!" Pisces pleaded her brother to run faster. She had a hard time breathing, having just run from home.

Her elder brother, Aquarius, was way behind her. He wasn't so interested in going, so he wasn't making an effort to go any faster.

When Pisces finally arrived to the edge of Quatran, she smiled and closed her eyes in bliss. She spreaded her hands, as if she was really flying.
629Please respect copyright.PENANABkIgBGET0W
It was the first time Aqua decided to see the Zodiacs with her.
Sagittarius grinned, seeing them coming. "One day, I'll be able to fly that free. I'll make sure of it," she stated, talking more to herself.
629Please respect copyright.PENANAGhe2sg5azR
At her announcement, Libra laughed. "Yeah, right. You don't even know your way around and you can't read a map. You'll fall down to the sea mid-fly."
629Please respect copyright.PENANAtyRGyY2ymB
Sagittarius rolled her eyes and hmph'ed, crossing her arms. "I just to feel the feeling of literal freedom, like they are feeling."
629Please respect copyright.PENANAkNP0BRwLVd
"I want to feel it, too," the shy Virgo suddenly said. His voice was small. It seemed as if his mind was elsewhere as he watched the Zodiacs flying. His eyes showed stars of amazement.

"They're so elegant," Cancer commented. "I've decided. I want to be just like them when I grow up!"
629Please respect copyright.PENANAwVucifOGvD
"Yeah, right," Scorpio said. "I will be a Zodiac and you will never be a better Zodiac than me." He was quite smug about it, like he knew for a fact that he was going to be the best Zodiac that ever existed.
629Please respect copyright.PENANAXFxL3Mvwda
Capricorn chuckled. "Alright, sure, whatever you say, Scorpio."
629Please respect copyright.PENANAHg1bSHOt3o
After that, they were enveloped in silence, until they realized someone was snoring...
629Please respect copyright.PENANAUcc3tj9G3x
"Taurus? You're asleep?!" Cancer gasped in realization. In her mind, no one would ever want to miss the show.
629Please respect copyright.PENANAGNBucCjlYH
Taurus jolted awake as if he just got smacked. "Wha- what did I miss?!" he looked around confusedly and frowned when he saw no interesting detail.
629Please respect copyright.PENANAxzSvmRzN5t
"You missed the show," Libra answered with a roll of her eyes. "They just passed by right above us, and you missed them."
629Please respect copyright.PENANAa3FMEllJKR
"Why are you so sleepy anyways?" Sagittarius asked, crossing her arms. She was a bit sad that the show--that wasn't exactly a show--was done, but at least they'll have another one in a month.
629Please respect copyright.PENANAmXf8STsx7Y
"I-" Taurus yawned and stretched. "Sorry. Antares-" He yawned again. "Anta wouldn't let me sleep last night. He somehow gained-" And once again, he yawned. "Gained extra energy. I don't know why or how."
629Please respect copyright.PENANA6yGWxeJSeu
Scorpio chuckled. "That little Star of yours. You should train it like mine," he said arrogantly. After that, they started arguing about whose pet was better.
629Please respect copyright.PENANA7MDIpevUnH
"At least mine is free! Unlike yours which you keep in a cage," Taurus protested with crossed arms. His sleepy-ness seemed to have flew away to Mars.
629Please respect copyright.PENANAdmD2iDj4tJ
Scorpio rolled his eyes and checked his nails like those gossip girls in movies. "Uh-uh. And that's totally why your Star pees on your bed and poops on your chair."
629Please respect copyright.PENANAkisM6aZAoE
This was a usual encounter between the two. They always bickered like an old married couple and their friends usually just watched with amused grins. They really had the cleanest mouth(note the sarcasm) out of all of them.
629Please respect copyright.PENANAK5xUI2FSuC
"Everyone!" Virgo suddenly called. He was shouting, but it sounded like usual talking to the others, because Virgo was usually so quite.
629Please respect copyright.PENANAfWhiJJSC02
Everyone looked at him with raised eyebrows and he felt quite nervous to say it, but he decided to do it anyways. "Let's all promise to be Zodiacs together, no matter what happens, yeah?" Virgo said with a smile and held her hand out.
629Please respect copyright.PENANAGwrdf56mA4
The others were dumbfounded. They didn't realize Virgo had so much passion to be a Zodiac, so they froze for a second before Libra said, "Of course. Let's all be Zodiacs and stay friends forever!" She put her hand on Virgo's.
629Please respect copyright.PENANAfWFRMbzD3m
The others smiled and nodded at each other before putting their hands above the other.
629Please respect copyright.PENANAtUzFEyoam7
"Zodiacs!" they cheered.
"They're awesome, aren't they?" Leo asked his best friend, Aries, as they watched the Zodiacs approaching. "Do you think if I become one of them, I'll be more popular and liked by people?"
629Please respect copyright.PENANArJGUrKvaNB
Aries chuckled and shook his head at his friend's stupidity. All he ever cared about was popularity, but Aries never understood why. "You're already popular, Leo. Why'd you want to be more popular anyways?"
629Please respect copyright.PENANA4WbB8fJH29
Leo shrugged. "I just do. Anyways, what do you say if we both become Zodiacs and strive for popularity together?"
629Please respect copyright.PENANA22VorG8X1E
Aries raised an eyebrow. "Leo, being a Zodiac isn't all about popularity. We have to fight and that might ruin your beautiful face, as you said. Are you really sure?"
629Please respect copyright.PENANAhti00bc24u
Leo looked above. The Zodiacs were still shining brightly. "The marks and scratches on my face wouldn't compare with how brightly I will be shining if I were them," he stated and held his hand up, almost as if he was trying to touch the sky.
629Please respect copyright.PENANATjQJbDfmqc
Leo let down his hand when he realized he couldn't touch the sky just yet. "I don't mind a few scratches here and there if that meant shining as bright as them. So, what do you say?"
629Please respect copyright.PENANAoGQXwyt0TM
Aries laughed. "Alright, sure, but I'm more into the fighting."
"Finally." Gemini fell down to the floor with a sigh. She was so tired. Her bags were scattered all around the room and the door was closed. She finally arrived into her new apartment, away from home.
629Please respect copyright.PENANAfPXeXy5aDI
Away from Getroix, she thought but quickly shook the thought away. I will be fine. I have to be. I need to make my dreams come true.
629Please respect copyright.PENANA7uuTjrdQjB
With the only strength she had left, she crawled over to the window and looked out. Good thing the window was big and she could see through it even though she was sitting on the floor.
629Please respect copyright.PENANAeoQQ1l03mu
Outside was what humans would call fireworks, but really, it was the Zodiacs returning. Honestly, all everyone ever thought was about how glorious they were... How awesome, amazing and all that.
629Please respect copyright.PENANAiIQbfbHhzB
However, when Gemini saw them, all she ever thought was about the struggle they had. They had to fight and protect their world from everything and anything, even if that meant dying and killing.
629Please respect copyright.PENANA0ukOIYgUo5
Gemini couldn't imagine killing someone, much less dying, but that was the thing. She needed to do this. She needed to be a Zodiac.
629Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ze4qQk4fB
She promised.
629Please respect copyright.PENANANiHfLc45Xj
"Such a stupid promise," she muttered to herself and laid her head on the wall. "Why would I do that..."
629Please respect copyright.PENANACVj8agIS5Y
Gemini sighed before falling asleep sitting down on the floor.
