Virgo's POV

"Aww, we're gonna miss you two," Mom gushed, while hugging me and Taurus.

"We could always go with you guys," I responded.

"That's cute, but you two already know that we couldn't afford for all four of us to go on the European tour."

"Plus, it's only three months, and you two have each other!" Dad remarked.

"And you can meet new people and do things you've never done before like archery!"

"And swimming!"

"Oh, and don't forget canoeing!"

"But_" Taurus spoke up.

"No buts, Sweetheart! We've already signed you two up, and we're already here," Mom interrupted. "It's a fun opportunity, and at the end of summer, you'll both be begging to stay!"

"Alright, our flight leaves in a hour, so we should get going," Dad stated.

"Bye, Babies!" Mom squeezed me and Taur to the point where both of us were gasping for air. She pecked both of our cheeks, leaving bright red smudges to mark us until we thoroughly wiped it off. Then she walked to the car waving non-stop until they drove off.

Three whole months stuck at summer camp, but at least I'm not here alone. I still have my little sister.

Cancer's POV

My mom decided it would be a great idea for me to make friends through summer camp. I wasn't the most social. My only friend at home was a stray cat, and Mom wanted me to have at least one human friend. My Aunt Gliese heard about Mom's idea and wanted her son, Scorpio, to go as well because he doesn't have the best social skills and has a bad temper. I think that it'll be fun here, but Scorpio already threatened the camp counselors and my mom.

"Scorpio, I promise it won't be so bad." Mom smiled and patted his shoulder. "You have your guitar and your baby cousin to keep you company. Now listen, it's only three months, and you can always call you mom to pick you up."

"I doubt she'll answer. She's too busy getting drunk and gambling away my college fund with her boyfriend in Vegas," he snapped back.

"Speaking of which, you can meet a nice girl and fall in lo_"

"I don't plan on it."

"Cance, can you make sure he doesn't burn down the entire camp in a day?" she whispered. I nodded and she gave me a quick hug before going to the car.

"So I'm stuck with you, huh?" Scorpio remarked.

"It'll be fun! Plus you're not exactly stuck with me. You can make friends and not be bothered with me at all," I said.

"Alright. First, let's make a deal."

"What is it?"

"Me and you are not cousins here."

"What?"

"Me and you aren't cousins as long as we're here. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yeah."

He begins to walk near the group of fellow campers that already arrived. The one person that was supposed to be there for me ditched me.

My own cousin.... just ditched me.

Gemini's POV

"My dad was supposed to hold on to the bike and then he let go! I didn't know how to steer a bike at all! So I ended up riding into my neighbor's rose bush. And that's how I got this scar!" I held up my leg and pointed at the mark.

"That's so tiny!" Aries snickered.

"Yeah, I can barely see it," Capricorn added, inspecting the scar closely.

"The scar is pathetic, but great story!" Sagittarius gave a thumbs up and slightly smiled.

"Well." Leo clapped her hands together. "Anyone else have scars?"

"THE JOKER!" Aquarius yelled, causing everyone to stare at him with a confused face. "Well, he does."

I heard the creaking of the steps. I snapped my head in the same direction to see a tall raven with a duffle bag slung across his shoulder.

"Hello!" I greeted. "I'm Gemini!"

"Scorpio." He responded and sat down beside Aries. Then we all went around and greeted ourselves.

"Random question: do you have any scars?" Aquarius asked.

"Yeah, but the story behind it is lame." He pulled up his flannel sleeve to show a long scar that ran up his forearm.

"What happened?"

"Don't run with scissors," he responded. Everyone bursted out laughing.

"Any other injuries we want to share?" Sagittarius asked.

"I have a burn on my side." Virgo unbuttoned his shirt and showed a wide burn mark.

"I did it," Taurus said. "I was pouring out hot oil from making fried Oreos. He went to scare me, and I threw the oil on him. Not on purpose though. It was more like reflexes."

"Quick question: are you two dating or something?" Aries questioned.

"Gross, he's my brother!"

"More important question! Were the Oreos good?" Aquarius inquired.

"They were delicious."

AN: Here's the first chapter! I hope that's it's good and that you enjoyed it.
