Zodiac Book

Christmas Special (Part 3)

The day has finally come, and the night couldn't be brighter than ever. To lighten up the mood, Capricorn decided to let the Christmas music play as Taurus brought some refreshments.

Everyone was gathered in the living room, talking happily to each other. Surprisingly, Scorpio seemed to be enjoying himself too, as he chatted away with Virgo and Pisces. If you just had the perfect timing to steal a glimpse of him, you might actually be able to see his smile.

"Alright everyone!" Capricorn yelled out, getting the attention of her eleven friends. "The time has come, so are we ready to open our presents?"

The crowd cheered, especially Cancer and Pisces, who couldn't keep still in their own spot. They all sat in a circle, and made themselves comfortable. Leo wrapped his arm around Gemini, Aries and Libra cuddled each other, Virgo sat next to Scorpio, who surprisingly held her hand with no notice, and Sagittarius sat by Aquarius. He would've been closer to her if Cancer and Pisces weren't holding her arms like she's their own mother. Next to Taurus was an empty space, which he saved for Capricorn.

The goat speaks again, "How we're going to exchange gift is by going in order of the zodiac wheel. That means, Aries will go first." Capricorn gestured to the ram before taking her seat next to Taurus.

Aries gulped nervously, took her gift from under the tree, and made her way to Libra. Libra smiled as she approached him, making her grow more nervous. "It's not much, but I thought that you just need it." She gives the wrapped present to the air sign and turns away once he ripped the paper.

"Wow..." he mumbles, taking out an ordinary green shirt with his symbol on it. "This is the first simple shirt I got from anyone! Thanks cutie!" He grins happily and looked into the box again. "Oh, looks like something else is in here.." Then he took out a picture frame. Libra's expression softens with absolute admiration. The picture was him and Aries, together on the Ferris wheel of their first date. The air sign hugs the ram from behind, "I love it.."

Aries blushes and leans in the hug, "I'm glad you do.."

Leo smiled, "Awwwe!"

"Shut up!"

Next was Taurus, who gave Virgo a cook book. The girl smiled, thanked him with a hug, and sat back down. She was happy, for she always wanted the cook book for a long time. Especially since it had recipes she isn't familiar with. She would love to give it a try sometime.

"Gemini's turn." Said Taurus.

Gemini nods, and takes her gift from the tree. She makes her way to Sagittarius and places the gift in his hands. "Hope you enjoy your present. I've spent a lot of money on it," She says, "I also got a little help." She smiles at Aquarius, who returns the gesture.

Sagittarius licked his lips before ripping the wrapping slowly. Once he was done doing so, his eyes grow wide. "A new video game!" He shouts with joy. Apparently, he was so joyful that he stood from his spot and threw his arms around the smaller girl. It was probably the tightest hug he has ever given a person. "Thank you so much!"

The moment he released Gemini, the girl gasped for air. "Yeah, no problem." She breathed, heading back to her spot with Leo.

Cancer jumped up, figuring that it was her turn. Skipping to the tree, she pulls out her gift and beckons for Pisces to come over. The fish did, happily taking the present. Once he unwrapped it, his face brightens up. "A bracelet kit! How did you know I was still into these?!"

The crab shrugged with a giggle, "Just a hunch?"

"I love it! Thank you!" Pisces hugs the girl, even adding a little kiss on her cheek.
