The Rise Of The Signs/ a zodiac story

Chapter 4

        "HAHA DOUBLE JACKS!!" Libra hollered whilst slapping the dollar store deck of cards. Aquarius groaned, " What's the point of playing if Libra is invincible!?". Sagittarius convinced the signs who would put up with Libra's constant victory to play again, " One round I will win!" She was one of the most stubbornness signs, she almost never backed down. They kept on playing until Aries popped up from behind Scorpio, " What are y'all playing?". "ERS, wanna play? Our goal is to try and beat Libra!" Capricorn stated while scooting over to make more room for the other four who made their way to the table. Gemini brought over two chairs for him and Virgo, and Cancer brought some for her and Aries. All the Zodiacs handed over the remaining cards to Taurus who shuffled them and passed the deck around. The cards now in possession of Leo were passed out to each player.
        They started the a game that lasted about an hour because Virgo kept slapping people's hands before they got to the deck, but ended up not hitting it himself. Eventually Aquarius won for the first time and a party was required to celebrate the first non-Libra victory! Sagittarius glared at Aqua from across the table, she then walked to her fellow hacker and whispered in her ear, "You dare beat me and win over Libra?". The others laughed as Aqua ran to the other side of the room and hid behind Cancer. Sag started a chase and soon Capricorn and Pisces joined in chasing Aquarius.

       While they were chasing each other the rest were going over exactly how they would go about traveling to Washington Park. The tenth was in seven days and in that time the group had to figure how they would get there and what they would do when there.

        The Bible church was 6 miles and 34 minutes from Damien silos when ridding a bike, this was probably the fastest way to get there without stealing anything too valuable like a car. ( I hope y'all don't get annoyed with the technical stuff, i just think it adds to the story!~Author-Chan) They would try and find a hiding spot at the church that is safe from the two men and the second man's daughter's eyes. If whatever the three are doing is remotely interesting then the Zodiacs will presume the role of stalking some weird formal man, his daughter, and some business friend that goes by the name of KING.

       With the plan formulated, the crackhead signs could do whatever they pleased until time to execute it. Scorpio checked the time and pulled Pisces away from the group and whispered in his ear, "Do you want to go grab some wine from the Vineyard Spiritual Temple, we could take the van that we used earlier and drive, i dunno 20 minutes there. We could get like five bottles and have a small party tonight. We all could drink enough to at least get us buzzed!".  Pisces sat in thought for a minute before smiling looking at the rest of the obviously tired Zodiacs, "A little euphoria could really brighten up this place, lets go!".

       The two walked the 10 minutes to the van to find it exactly where they left it, they jumped in and drove until the vineyard came into view. Pisces pulled over the vehicle and he and Scorpio walked the rest of the way. The vineyard would have new wines to taste test every month, if the wine wasn't the preferred taste of at least ten customers out of 15 they threw the bottles out on the road for the homeless, like the Zodiacs. The wine honestly wasn't that bad, but Scorpio could see why people wouldn't like it, if it was too sweet or bitter, and the majority of the people who came to this specific winery didn't like white wine. Tawny port was also somehow was always on the hobo menu. The place had a lot of inferno in the barrel, the group really liked that.  And sometimes they didn't just have wine and port, this was when they had a party for the employees and Midori's, whiskey, daiquiris, beer, rum, and vodka were the special drinks of the night.

       That night all they had were a couple glasses of Taylor, good stuff. Pisces grabbed some and he started to leave to head back and surprise the rest of the signs. Scorpio stopped him and pointed to a half empty bottle of Captain Morgan with pleading eyes. Pisces shrugged, "Just don't get the others too drunk, we don't want a bunch of middle aged thieves  hurling chunks in the morning." Scorpio giddily grabbed the bottle and two Taylor's, the two then walked back to the car and drove back to Damen Silos.

        When the zodiacs heard the door open they all turned their heads to find Scorpio and Pisces with several bottles in their hands. They all cheered and grabbed their water bottles to be filled up with Taylor and smaller cups for rum. One bottle of Taylor gone, two bottles, three, by four the Zodiacs had all had a shot or two of rum. The signs all had tasted alcohol and gotten used to it at a young age, in short it took them a while to get buzzed. As soon as they did the room became a dance floor and Capricorn's flashlight became the disco ball.

        Capricorn was running around dancing and skipping with the light like she was 12 again. The others either danced by themselves or with a partner, and the few who didn't... Leo was running around screaming, "I'm Donald Trump the Fifth!!!!". Taurus had his backpack on and told everyone that he was running away while Libra was sitting on his leg preventing him from moving, "Don't leave us doggy!!" Cancer was slapping Gemini telling him that he can't have a brain because he's an airhead. Aquarius was dancing with Pisces and Sagittarius in a weird triangle formation, they were all reciting some satanic ritual. Scorpio was dancing with himself and kept yelling, "Everybody do tha flop!". Aries and Virgo were dancing and trying to figure out who could do the best whale impression.

       It was a swell night.
