Zodiac Adventures ✔️

A Week Later

A/N: The pic is the hospital room. Please read this: the zodiacs are going to suffer from issues that real life people suffer. I am not in any way saying that these disorders are in anyway shameful or a negative side effect that you shouldn't have. These disorders are perfectly normal and the purpose is to give twelve perfect characters some real life issues that you don't see too often in books. If you or someone you know suffers from one of these "side effects" please don't be offended. Again, it's an attempt to show representation and normalize zodiacs who are always perfect in every other story.

Phoenix walked into the hospital room. The hospital had an extra large room meant for six patients. The doctors managed to fit twelve beds in there so the zodiacs could be together. The beds were arranges so that the couples could sleep side by side.

The zodiacs were out of the simulation. When they discovered what side affects the simulation gave them, some were rushed to the hospital. They've been recovering ever since. Some were more affected than others...

"Phoenix!" Gemini squealed and jumped off her bed to hug Phoenix. Pisces (who was right beside Gemini) also jumped up and hugged Phoenix.

Phoenix inspected them. Gemini had black bags under her eyes, but Pisces looked alright, if not exhausted and bored.

"What are your side effects."

Gemini yawned. "Mine weren't big. I was stuck with insomnia. I need medications to fall asleep, but I have it a lot better than others."

Pisces smiled. "I wasn't affected! I had anxiety before all of this so maybe that's why I didn't get any side effects."

Phoenix scanned the room. Everyone else was hidden by the curtains. "What about everyone else?"

"Um..." Gemini nervously looked at the ground. "Cancer and Sagittarius are to your right. Don't freak out."

Phoenix turned her head. Cancer was sleeping and Sagittarius was cuddling her.

Sagittarius opened his eyes. One of his eyes was a glass eye. "Hey Nix! I stole that nickname from Antlia, he visited us earlier. I have a fake eye. See? It looks so realistic. Also I have Pyromania, pretty ironic if you ask me."

Phoenix glanced at Cancer. "What about her?"

Sagittarius wiped a tear from his real eye. "She won't wake up. The doctors said that Moncer is like a second personality caused by some kind of mental disorder. But she hasn't woken up yet and the doctors don't know when she will wake up."

"So you know for sure that she will wake up?"

"Well, the doctors didn't say so because it's obvious! There's no way she'll... she won't... she'll wake up! I know it!"

Phoenix walked to the next row of beds and looked to her right. Aries was reading a book while Leo slept. Aries had a few scars permanently dug into her arms and legs (there weren't any on her face). Her left arm looked like it was burnt. Leo had dark bags under his eyes just like Gemini.

"Oh. Hi Phoenix!" Aries waved.

"What happened to you guys?" asked Phoenix.

"As you can see, i have a few scars and this nice burn mark from my wrist to my elbow. And they told me that I need glasses to see words at a distance, but that's bullshit. I have perfect vision. They called me near sighted. Near sighted my ass!"

Leo chuckled. "Aries, you couldn't read words on a sign that was held five feet away from you."

"But my vision is still perfect!"
