Up With the Stars And the Night (A Zodiac Applyfic)

☆ 𝟚: The ᴡᴀʀᴍᴇꜱᴛ Welcome ᴇᴠᴇʀ ☆

"Whew. Deadlines, my fingers almost broke! Anyhoo, before we start, readers, please take note, if you leave any notes or ask me anything here on Wattpad past 9:30, I will not reply until 8:30 the next morning, because I, unfortunately, have Internet restrictions. I don't want to seem rude or anything, so just a heads-up! Also, by some miracle, I did a recount and somehow the angels, demons, girls, and boys count are balanced! A miracle I tell you." 

"My lady, my arms are getting sore, and did you edit the script...??" 

*sweat drops* "Er... most likely no, Evan, and sorry. I'll go back and edit later, but for now, let's start." 

"A Zodiac Applyfic, Act 1, Scene 2, Take 1!" 

"ACTION!" 

*clack!*

"Someone. Get. Him. To. Shut. Up!" Vanira screeched when halfway to Universe's house (more like palace) she got fed up with Willie's loud exclamations at the view outside. "Why must we have an earthling taint our auras with his presence!?"

"Well, excuse me, Miss High-and-Mighty," Willie absentmindedly retorted. "You may be used to this but back on Earth and to peasants like me, this-" He waved a hand at the Angel houses speeding past. "-Is absolutely absurd!" 

"Absurd how it shows off their arrogance," Bliss grumbled, but thankfully nobody heard him.

They all agreed unanimously that they never, ever, ever wanted to ride in that van ever again-especially not through space-until somebody fixed it up. As such, they were all scrambling to get out of the van on wobbly knees once it touched down. 

"Honestly, you'd think you haven't ever experienced galactic-space travel before," Ophiuchus grumbled to himself. "This van is slow compared to the ridiculous speed Aquila loves to travel at!" Whiiiich was very disconcerting, but the zodiacs decided to bypass that for the time being. 

"Woah, hey, T! Check out that skyscraper!" Eira whispered to Turtle. 

"The height is ridiculous," Turtle shivered. "I hate heights." 

Einar smirked smugly. "Well, to demons like you, it may seem ridiculous, but to us Angels, it's perfectly nor-MAL OUCH!!" 

About all the demons hit him at the same time. 

"That's just rude!" Ariana yelled at him. "Need I remind you that you are a Demon too?" 

"We were Angels before," Vanira said, tossing her hair back. "But we got kicked out." 

"Ooo, tough luck," Zaalia winced sympathetically. 

"Hurry up, hurry up," Ophiuchus said impatiently. "We're almost there, and once we do, I can ask Universe to call up someone to input information in his brain." He waved a lazy hand at Willie, who was still staring wide-eyed at everything around him. "You guys can all fly, right?" 

Willie let out a screech as Ophiuchus unfolded his wings. "Wh-WHAT THE ACTUAL-" 

"Yes," The rest of the zodiacs chorused. Willie could only stare with his jaw on the ground as the other zodiacs unfolded their own wings-decidedly smaller and less grand than Ophiuchus's, but for him it was crazy. 

He also found that it was extremely unfair as he started wobbling halfway up the staircase. Seriously, why did they have such high stairs, anyway? 

Ophiuchus sighed when he saw Willie lagging. "Ugh." He swooped back and Willie yelped as Ophiuchus grabbed him by his arms and lifted him up. After he got used to it, he relaxed. "Hey, this is actually pretty comfortable."
