The Zodiac Story

The New Mr. Steal Yo Girl

Leo's POV//////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I'm violently shaken awake by a pair of hands. I Groan in disagreement but the hands tell me that I don't have a choice. "Get up Leo! I'm not gonna wait for you!", Pisces mumbles to me. I open my eyes and see that he's already dressed and ready to go downstairs. As I study him a little bit, I find that he's in his original clothes that he wore when I met him. I sit up and rub my eyes, sleep still lingering inside of them. "A'ight A'ight! I'll get upppppp.", I groan, rolling off the bed but still determined to get up. He gives me a look but sighs and leans up against his wall. "I'll give you 20 minutes to get ready but that's it kay'? I always go down at a certain time and it's already later than I'd have liked.", he gives in. I sit up, still a bit tired, but he's giving me some room so I might as well comply.

I stand up on my wobbly legs and stumble up the stairs to my own room near the end of the hall. I walk into my closet and decide what to ware. Then, I remember Pisces was warring his original clothes and decide that I might ware my original clothes too. I open the drier door and grab the clothes while subconsciously straightening them out. I trade my current clothes out for my new owns and step out of the closet. Then, I continue to get ready; brush my hair, brush my teeth, the usual. And with that, I open my door to see Pisces leaning on the wall outside my door. "You must really like leaning on things huh?", I laugh at him. He just rolls his eyes at me. "Yeah, yeah, whatever. Let's just get downstairs already, yeah?", he defends himself while gently pushing me forward. "I'll take that as a yes."

Once we get downstairs, we notice something a little odd. Nobody was in the kitchen. Not really knowing what was going on we look in the living room. Sure enough, everyone was sitting in the room with bored expressions on their faces. And maybe some weren't there? I was still a bit too groggy to tell, but I was sure that most, if not all, were present. I also noticed that everyone was warring their original clothes, which makes me concerned but also makes me glad I got the memo. I look up at Pisces to find him looking right back at me. Then, we both shrug and walk to our respective places. As I sit down I realize something else; all of the doubles were gone. I should have noticed when I was getting dressed that Zander wasn't there but... I'm tired! Aries turns to look up at me. "Hey Leo... was Zander in your room last night?", he asks me, his hands holding a stack of papers as he speaks from behind the podium. I cross my legs and scratch my head. "I dunno really. I didn't sleep in there.", I admit awkwardly. He looks a bit surprised but raises an eyebrow at me. "Then where'd you sleep?", he asks in a questioning tone of voice. "With Pisces.", I state blankly, both my body language and tone of voice suggesting that it was no big deal. His gaze immediately shifts to Pisces, and becomes cold while his eyes narrow. Pisces's body posture was cool and relaxed as he looked back at a gaze that could burn holes through most people. Aries looks back at the room full of people with no words to Pisces which I find quite shocking, Aries completely blew up at Sag. Maybe he did trust him more than I thought.

"So what's going on?", I ask him, I sounded curious, but I was more concerned than anything right now. "Uhh....", he mumbles. Then he looks back at me. "We got another message today. Or I did, on my fax machine. And since the doubles seem to be missing.... it seems we're in for another surprise.", he admits with a firm tone. It seems that I wasn't the only one who hadn't heard the news; from the room's simultaneous gasps, is seems that all of us were only hearing this now. Then, Aries looks down at his paper and begins to read.

"Dear valued members of the zodiac representatives,

You will be happy to hear that we were very pleased with the results from the last test we gave you, it gave us lots of valuable information. We have since then given you a public list of the zodiacs from strongest to weakest in a physical stature. The order goes; Aries, Scorpio, Leo, Gemini, Aquarius, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Virgo, and lastly, Pisces. The member with the most brute force is Aries. While the one with the most skill and or training would be Leo.", he reads, looking up at our stunned faces. Then, he goes back to the paper and everyone gets apprehensive towards what may be said next.
