Aquarius's senses were tingling.  Powerful presences were about.  They're here.  They're all here.  At the same time.  Take a deep breath, Aqua.  This could mean eternal life or eternal death for your world.  Then you'd really never see Leo like she wanted...  Shut up, Aqua!  This isn't about Leo!  Pfft everything is about Leo.  Am I fighting with myself?  *sigh* It's showtime... Aquarius thought to herself in her chambers.  Pulling herself together and taking a deep breath, she threw open her chamber doors and stepped out into the hallway. Before her she saw all the other elements with Libra. "Welcome to the Air Sector! So glad you could make it!" Aquarius exclaimed, throwing her hands up.

"Of course! It's a serious matter," Taurus said, walking up to Aquarius. The two friends embraced.

"Thank you so much. I need your help. Also, we need to get together separate anyways for a girl day..." Aquarius whispered to Taurus while she was close.

"Anytime Aqua. I agree," Taurus whispered back. They parted and then the rest of the elements embraced, considering it'd been quite a while. Then, it was Leo and Aquarius's turn to embrace. They practically raced to each other and tightly hugged one another. They stayed like that longer than normal until they heard Taurus clear her throat. She gave Aquarius a warning look. The two quickly separated.  Virgo looked towards Taurus with suspicion.  What was that all about?  Does Taurus know something I don't?  Virgo doesn't like not being in the know. Aries was giving them the same look. He and Virgo's eyes drifted and met.

"Libra will be showing you to your rooms, so you won't have to carry your stuff around all day," Aquarius started, glancing at Aries who was still buried under the baked goods. She walked up to him. She let out a laugh. "I can take those from you." With the snap of her fingers, the trays of treats floated out of Aries's arms and he let out a loud sigh of relief, his arms dropping to his side like limp noodles. The one tray Sagittarius was holding floated off too.  She was taken aback by this and grew a little uncomfortable, her prized goods were drifting off!  Sagittarius started running after her trays.  Aquarius watched, befuddled.  Then she called, "Just follow those and meet Gemini in the kitchen."

"That's the plan!" Sagittarius called back, disappearing behind a cloud curtain. 

"Okay then..." Libra remarked.  "Well, I guess if you follow me, I'll lead you to your rooms."  He started off down the hallway.  Aquarius walked over to her chaise lounge in the main room they were in.  She needed to lay down.  Her head was pounding and she forgot how crowded she felt with this many people in her palace.  Now this seemed a little off considering how spacious the Air kingdom was.  However, being of Air, Aquarius liked space.  She may have been a tad claustrophobic.  She laid down.  With the flick of her wrist, wind blew down at her and stars danced in front of her.  She breathed out.  Aquarius needed calm peace and quiet.  Unbeknownst to her, Leo lagged behind and snuck up to her. 

"Aqua!" Leo exclaimed in a loud whisper.  She jumped straight up, the stars disappearing.  Aquarius let out a little squeal. 

"Don't do that to me!" Aquarius yelled, glaring at Leo.  His eyebrows turned up. 

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know you wer-" he started.

"It's fine," she said, cutting him off.  "Shouldn't you be settling in your room?"

"I figured I could see you instead," he replied with a shrug.  His flirtatious smirk playing at his lips.

Aquarius sighed and rolled her eyes. "Leo, this is supposed to be a serious meeting, not a lovers' rendezvous."

"So, you don't want to see me?" he asked, his eyebrows turned up in worry.

"Leo...of course I want to see you, but right now I need space.  And rest.  My head is pounding." Aquarius pleads.  Their eyes meet and he understands exactly what she's saying.
