Just another day walking down the long thin hallway of the house that we live in. Everyone was all doing something, whether that was training or just hanging around. Everyone but Libra, who wasn't doing anything but walking down the hallway.
She stopped to see Sagittarius and Leo in the living room fighting. They were probably fighting over something stupid, but stupid or not Libra stepped in and asked why they were fighting. "Libra!?!? We're having a meaningful conversation about training." Sagittarius said. Leo rolled his eyes. "As if!!! You're getting on to me for skipping one day!! I REPEAT ONE DAY!!" He yelled into her ear.
She rolled her eyes in disgust. "YOU'RE THE ONE WHO SKIPPED!!! EVEN ARIES CAME TO TRAIN!!" She lashed out at him. Libra looked from Leo to Sagittarius, and then slowly backed up. "ONE DAY!! ONLY ONE DAY THIS WEEK!!" He yelled back.
"Blah blah blah!!!" Sagittarius crossed her arms. Libra tapped her on the shoulder. "It's just one day Sag, it's not like the end of the world to skip one day!" She said calmly. Sagittarius turned around to face Libra. "Ohhh!!!! I see you're on his side!!!" She said, sounding annoyed. Libra hesitated a little while before she spoke up. "I'm—." She started to talk but was interrupted. "Yeah you are!!" She yelled out at her. Libra looked to the side in sadness and regret. Maybe she shouldn't have spoken.
Leo looked at Sagittarius a little annoyed about what she did. "You know you didn't have to lash out at Libra, she didn't even do anything." He stepped in to place a hand on Libra's shoulder. Sagittarius looked at Leo, and then back at Libra. "I'm sorry I'm just really annoyed right now, and don't know how to cope with my anger." She said, sounding apologetic. Libra nodded her head understandably. "Yeah I kinda figured!" She faked a laugh.
"Yeah, I probably shouldn't be so angry at Leo for skipping one day. Next time, tell me ahead of time before you decide to skip." Sagittarius said as she turned back to look at Leo. Leo rubbed his neck and let out a chuckle. "Ha! Alright!!" He said. Libra smiled at the both of them, and then continued her walk.
She opened the door to outside, and carefully stepped onto the porch. She then leaned against a pole on the side of the porch, and took a long breath of the cold and chilly weather that was blowing her hair. "Libra?" Sagittarius came up behind her and paused.
"Libra I'm sorry for acting that way towards you, it's just Leo really gets on my nerves sometimes!!! And skipping training didn't make that any better." She hugged Libra from behind. Libra looked startled as she felt Sagittarius' hands wrap around her. Libra made a nervous smile, and turned around for a real hug.
"Accidents happen, and you get mad. That's okay, just as long as you solve the problem peacefully!" Libra let go of her. Sagittarius smiled at her, and nodded her head understandably. "Everyone gets angry, and sometimes you can't help being mad." Libra laughed. "Yeah. I'm still a little mad at him for skipping, but it's okay. Just as long as he doesn't do it again without telling me!!" She laughed alongside Libra.
"So—" Sagittarius blinked at Libra and then continued. "You want to do something for me?" She made an awkward face at her. Libra rolled her eyes jokingly, and slowly nodded her head. "I mean, I have nothing else better to do. What do you want me to do??" She questioned. Sagittarius beamed up with excitement. "Can you PLEASE go to archery practice with me? I want to finish teaching you how to shoot!" She said as she grabbed Libra's shoulders.
Libra looked at her for a moment, and then she laughed nervously before she spoke. "Sag, you know how bad I am at shooting a bow! Why do you want me to go through this again!?!?" Libra said jokingly. Sagittarius nudged her a little, and stared her down with a smirk. "That's the whole point of practicing!" She laughed.
"Fine—" Libra crossed her arms. "I'm just a little afraid for everyone's safety while I'm holding a bow..." She said with a nervous smile. Sagittarius rolled her eyes. "Libra!! You haven't killed anyone with that bow yet!! So I think you'll be fine!!" She took hold of Libra's hand. "That will probably start today though—" Libra joked.
"NONSENSE LIBRA!!!! Scorpio is worse than you if I'm being honest." She said as she dragged Libra alongside her. Libra laughed at the thought of Scorpio holding a bow. Maybe Sagittarius was right about him being worse than her, but still worse or not I don't think that I should be holding a bow. "Sag!! You're the archer here! Not me!!" She said trying to get out of going.
"NOPE!! You agreed to it already, so now you're stuck with me!!" She laughed. Libra had no way out of what she agreed to, but apparently she did agree to do this. She thought in her head about how hard it was last time to even get the arrow to stay on the string. I guess all she had to do was carefully place it on the string. It wouldn't be that hard if Sagittarius would tell her how to hold a bow!! All she did last time was laugh at her for holding it incorrectly.
LIKE?! OF COURSE I WAS GOING TO HOLD IT INCORRECTLY IF YOU DON'T TELL ME HOW I SHOULD HOLD IT!? Libra thought in her head, maybe she would actually teach me how instead of laughing at me. I highly doubt it though, because that's just the way she is. "You're going to teach me again? Right?" Libra questioned.
Sagittarius let go of her hand and looked her up and down. "Please tell me you didn't forget what I already taught you?" She crossed her arms. "HEY! It's not like I'm handling a bow every day to know!!" She laughed. Sagittarius made a face at her, and laughed along. "I mean you're right! Do you still remember how to hold the bow?" Sagittarius questioned. "No..." Libra made a little chuckle and shrugged. Sagittarius smiled awkwardly at her. "Ohh boy, this is going to be fun.." She laughed.
"Hey Libra!!!" Leo yelled out from behind them. "I just wanted to thank you for stepping in to help stop the fighting! And I can already tell Sagittarius is in a better mood already!" He glanced over at her and smiled. Sagittarius shook her head. "OF COURSE I AM!! Do I look angry to you?" She questioned jokingly. Leo shrugged a little bit and smirked. "To be honest I can't tell anymore!" He laughed. Libra looked over at Sagittarius and then back at Leo.
"Glad I could help!" She smiled at him. Leo nodded his head. "Yep, I just wanted you to know that before I headed out to see Taurus!! I'll let you guys be now!!" He said as he skipped along the Milky Way. Sagittarius rolled her eyes in a joking way. "Now that that's over, let's get into training!!" She echoed in Libra's ear. "Ohh great—" Libra whispered underneath her breath.
