Book Club

Taurus was sitting in the library in the zodiac mansion. If only there was someone else that enjoyed reading the same type of books that I read, then I could talk about them to someone. Wait that gives me an idea! Thought Taurus. Then she ran downstairs.

"A book club?" asked Leo.

"Why?" asked Gemini.

"We can all read the same book and later discuss our thoughts," said Taurus.

"What king of book? It's not going to be a cliché 'oh I love you never let me go' book is it?" asked Sagittarius.

"No, but something with a bit of romance won't kill you," said Taurus. Then Aquarius pretended to die.

"It did. Just the thought of it killed Aquarius," said Libra.

"AQUA NOO! Don't die on me bro!" said Virgo as he started fake crying by Aquarius' "dead body." Capricorn face palmed.

"Are you sure you want to start a book club with... them?" asked Scorpio while glancing at Virgo, Libra and Aquarius.

"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Aquarius who sat up.

"It means you're immature," said Scorpio.

"Be careful what you say," warned Virgo.

Scorpio stuck out her tongue. "I'm not scared of you."

"Anyway, what's the point of a book club?" asked Aries.

"So I have someone that I can talk to about the book," replied Taurus.

Libra smirked. "Just ask Capricorn, I bet she loves those boring books!" Capricorn took the book out of Taurus' hands and threw it at Libra.

"I don't mind this idea," said Cancer.

"Can we read something with a happy ending? Because I get sad when I watch movies and the main character dies," said Pisces.

"Whatever, everyone go upstairs and find a copy of this book, Capricorn you're the Vice President of our book club. Tomorrow we'll discuss chapters one and two," announced Taurus while holding up the book.

The next day everyone was in the living room.

"Crap I forgot to read the chapters. Can someone give me a summary?" asked Sagittarius.

"A girl named... Uh... Scarlet discovers a hidden village full of weirdos... and she starts to become one of them," explained Gemini.

"Okay guys, who wants to start with a summary of what happened? Let's start with Sagittarius," said Taurus as she walked into the living room and sat down.

"Scarlet discovers a hidden village full of weirdoes and she starts to become one of them," said Sagittarius confidently. Taurus gave Sagittarius a funny look and Gemini laughed so hard she fell off the sofa.

"How about someone else tell us what happened?" asked Capricorn.

"Psst! Libra! Did you read chapter fifteen?" asked Virgo.

"No why would I read that far?" asked Libra.

"Because that's the 'good part' if you know what I mean," said Virgo. Then Libra and Aquarius went to chapter fifteen. Libra rolled his eyes while Aquarius started giggling.

"Didn't I tell you those idiots were too immature for this?" asked Scorpio.

"Watch it Scorpio," warned Libra.

"Sorry I don't have a watch," said Scorpio.

"Can we kick her out? We just want to read in peace!" said Virgo.

"Yeah!" agreed Aquarius.

"Okay moving on... can ANYONE summarize the first two chapters?" asked Capricorn.

"What's this book about? It's confusing," whispered Aries.

"I have no idea. I thought it was about people that ride on unicorns to be honest with you," whispered Leo.

"Are the first two chapters about a dog that gets lost in the forest?" asked Cancer.

"Bingo! Congratulations Cancer for answering a question," said Taurus as she handed Cancer a piece of candy.

"Wait we get candy for answering right?" asked Pisces. Taurus nodded.

"Can someone tell me the overall mood of those chapters?" asked Capricorn.

"Sad," guessed Gemini.

"No," said Capricorn.

"Happy," guessed Gemini.

"No,"

"Uh...

"Lonely," said Capricorn.

"But that's the same as sad!" protested Gemini.

"No Gem, it's not," said Capricorn.

"What's the name of the dog?" asked Taurus. Everyone flipped through the book.

"Scruffy!" shouted Aries. Taurus passed Aries a piece of candy.

"Alright what's the name of Scruffy's owner?" asked Capricorn.

"Jane!" shouted Pisces. Taurus passed him some candy.

"This is stupid," muttered Libra.

"Like your face?" asked Scorpio.

"I don't want to be in the same room as that savage," said Aquarius.

"You're free to leave," said Virgo. Aquarius put a hand on his heart.

"Bro! You're taking her side?" asked Aquarius.

"If you can't beat her, join her," said Virgo. Libra nodded as if that were obvious.

"Are we done yet?" asked Sagittarius.

"I don't think so," said Libra.

"Oh no. My book accidentally caught on fire! Better go get a new one!" said Leo who was holding up the burning book. Then a blast of water shot at Leo and soaked him and the book.

"Oops, maybe I used a bit too much water," said Cancer.

Taurus screamed in frustration. "This was a bad idea!" Capricorn patted her on the back.

"It's alright. You guys can leave now," said Capricorn. Everyone else cheered and ran upstairs while Taurus decided to never try to make a book club ever again.
