Seeing as Saturday was tomorrow, the friends became even more jittery. They had all of their luggage ready to go, and they all thought that tomorrow couldn't come fast enough. They were all at Pisces house, crowded in the small yet spacious confines of her room, discussing the plans they all had in different areas of the room.

Sagittarius, Leo, Taurus, and Capricorn were whispering to eachother as they sat at the edge of Pisces' bed, while Libra and Cancer sat in a little corner on the far side of the room, talking so softly that only Libra could hear her.

Pisces, Aries, and Aquarius were trying to yell over one another to fit in their own plans. Scorpio on the other hand, was picking on Gemini, for the two girls finished their planning and Scorpio grew bored with just standing around. Virgo was reading quietly in one of the chairs next to the bed, content with the plan she had thought of.

After the group finalized their plans, they all began to chat with each other to pass the time.

Virgo had put her book down and joined Cancer in a game concentration, while Sagittarius staredat the two girls as he was having another argument with Aquarius. Leo was trying to flirt with Scorpio, key word trying. Scorpio of course had zero interest. Pisces, Capricor, Aries, and Libra, were discussing their favorite video game characters and comparing to see who's favorite was better. Curled up on the bed was Gemini, who was playing with Taurus's hair and was trying to tell him that he should dye it.

Later on that evening, the friends glanced at the clock, which read 8:43 pm, and after they all said goodbye, began their journeys home. Tomorrow was the day that they all have been waiting for. Tomorrow was a day that will be filled with excitement and laughs. Tomorrow will hold unexpected events for the friends. Tomorrow will be life changing.

Cancer woke up the next day to the sound of her alarm, signaling the start of a new day. Cancer pushed the snooze button and shot out of bed, a grin etched on her face. She race to get into her bathing suit, all of them were advised to wear them, and other morning necessities. Once she had done so, she grabbed her suitcase and rushed down the stairs of her house. She kissed her fathers cheek, grabbed a handful of bacon and sped out of the house.

She met up with the rest of the group at the docks. Gemini, wearing her pink polka dotted swimsuit, was sitting with her legs over the edge while splashing Libra, in her pine green one piece, water when Cancer arrived. Scorpio and Taurus were the only two not there yet. Cancer sat next to Leo and Aries, who was once again staring at Aquaries in his dark blue swim trunks. Aries was wearing her orange faded suit that had the silhouette of palm trees, and Leo was adorned in his light red trunks.

Sagittarius, in his green bottoms, was staring at Cancer as she sat down. He was intrigued by the way her light blue and green swimsuit hugged her curves and complimented her hair and eyes. After a while of staring, he felt a slight nudge to his ribs, courtesy of Taurus, who just walked up to them in his sunset colored trunks with Scorpio right behind him. Scorpio wore a swimsuit with her signature colors; purple and black.

As soon as the two arrived, the ship that was to take them to Ralsonac pulled up to the docks. They all began to board the ship, and in a few short minutes, after everything got situated and checked, they were off to start their adventure.

Sagittarius and Leo were wreaking havoc near the pool while Cancer and Scorpio were sitting in lounge chairs, chatting away about how immature the boys were.

"Ugh! Boys are such children," Scorpio said with an exasperated sigh."I mean just look at what they are doing!" She gestured to the boys, who were trying to find ways to disturb Libra and Pisces in the pool.

Cancer nods. She watched as Sagittarius climbed up on the diving board with a smirk on his face."What is he doing?" She said. She sat up a little in her chair.

Sagittarius jumped of the board. He crashed into the water, causing a massive wave to wash over the unexpecting Pisces and find its way over to the relaxing girls.

Scorpio growled as the water doused her. Cancer got up and went over to Pises, who was helped out of the pool by an irritated Libra and a confused Aries. "Are you okay, Pisc?" Cancer asked. She nodded and walked over to her towel. Cancer turned to were Sagittarius' head had surfaced. She dove into the cold water, and resurfaced next to Sagittarius.

"That was uncalled for, Sag." She said as she glared at the brown headed boy."You know that she can't swim well!"

Sagittarius payed her words no mind. He was to busy staring at how her wet hair framed her face. The way her lips moved as she scolded him were captivating. He continued to stare. After realizing that he wasn't listening, Cancer got annoyed and smacked Sagittarius across the cheek. He look up, a dazed look written on his features."That is for not listening." She slapped his other cheek."That, is for everything else." And with that, she swam to the pools stairs and climbed out to find the others.

She found Leo trying to impress Scorpio, key word trying, Capricorn was playing a game with Gemini and Taurus in the game room, Libra was comforting a still shaken Pisces, Aries and Aquarius were having a conversation on the couch, and Virgo was in the corner reading again.

After seeing were everyone was, Cancer went over to the little room that they had put all of their stuff in. She walled over to her suitcase and pulled out some dry clothes to change into. Once she was dressed she went to leave. But a wierd feeling had set in her stomach. She had the thought of bringing her pocket knife and flashlight with her. Going with the feeling, she grabbed her knife and pocketed both that and the mini flashlight her had brought. She then left the room to regroup with the others. She saw that Sagittarius had come inside but ignored him all the same. She sat down next to Aries and the two began to chat.

Sagittarius went over to Leo. Leo was trying a different approach with the uninterested female.

"And so I did! I could have vacked down but I did it anyway. Are you impressed?" He said with a wiggle of his eyebrows. Sagittarius rolled his eyes and grabbed Leo by the ear."Ow! Dude!" Sagittarius dragged him toward the room Cancer had just left.

"Ok man, what on earth was that for?" Leo asked with crossed arms.

Sagittarius looked nervous."Bro... I think I-" his sentence was inturupted before he could finish. The boat had given a terrible lurch, as if something had hit the side. The two boys rush back into the room where the others were. Gemini was holding onto Capricorn for dear life, Aries was clinging to both Pisces and Aquarius, Scorpio look unfazed but on the inside was freaking out, and Taurus was shielding Virgo and Libra, both wearing terrified expressions. Sagittarius searched around for Cancer. She wasn't in the room.

He panicked."Where is-" The ship gave another unexpected jump. Sagittarius was worried and began to walk over to the door that lead to the pool. He saw her leaning over the railing as the boat gave a violent shudder. Cancer was trying to figure out why the boat was doing this. Sagittarius rushed foward and grabbed Cancer by the waist. She shrieked a little and began to kick.

"Put me down!" She exclaimed. Sagittarius turned her around to face him.

"Shh," he said in a gentle voice."it's just me. Why were you leaning over the rail like that? You could have fallen!" He whispered to her, concern laced into his words. Cancer looked up at Sagittarius and opened her mouth to speak, but as she did, the boat gave another shudder which caused her to fall over. Sagittarius caught her and ushered her back inside. The shuddering became more frequent and violent, until one final lurch made the world around the twelve friends go black.
