Moving Day

Scorpio isn't going to be in the chapter because she's not moving in with them.  Sorry :( she will be in the next chapter.


Everyone's rooms and stuff (PLEASE READ):  The mansion has three floors, plus an attic and a basement. At the very beginning, Gemini Libra and Capricorn were the only ones living in the mansion, and their three rooms were all in a row on one wall facing out the front of the mansion. When Aries moved in, she picked her room a bit down the hall, and hers faced outside into the backyard. Pisces picked a room in the center of the house, with no windows. When all the others decided to move in, a few of the rooms were changed up a little. Before all the furniture arrived, the eleven sat down and decided who got which room. Aries decided to move her room into one of three towers facing the backyard. Each of these towers had three floors, but none too large. This she would share with Saggy. Taurus and Cancer chose two rooms close to Pisces's, who didn't move. Officially, Gemini didn't change his room, but Aquarius claimed one of the other towers facing the backyard, and Gemini Leo and Aquarius all had beds in there. Leo also chose a room next to Gemini Libra and Capricorn's, but he also had space in the tower. Virgo chose one of the bedrooms near Gemini Libra and Capricorn's. Libra decided to keep her bedroom. Capricorn kept his current bedroom. And then it was moving day...

I will upload a map to this chapter soon.  Thanks for reading!

==================

The doorbell rang.

"They're here!" screeched Aries, and ran to the door. She yanked it open, and tackled the ringer to the ground.

"Ow!" yelped Virgo. "Aries! Get off me!"

"Whoops, I thought you were Saggy," frowned Aries, stepping back. "My bad."

"You suck at tackles!" yelled Saggy from behind a tree. Aries ran up and tackled her.

"Now who sucks at tackles?" taunted Aries. Then Leo and Aquarius jumped out of a bush at Aries.

"You guys have to settle down now," said Virgo. "We're about to set up our rooms, and we don't want to make Gemini hate us for letting us live here."

"Naw, don't worry about it," said Gemini, walking out of the house. "A little crazy is good for you."

"A little crazy I'd be okay with," said Virgo. "You guys tend to go beyond 'a little crazy'."

"Virgy, you're no fun," yawned Aries.

Virgo blinked. "Since when am I Virgy?"

"Since now." Aries grinned evilly. "I am forcing everyone to call you Virgy!"

"Virgy!" yelled Aquarius and gave Virgo a hug. Virgo froze.

"What are you guys doing?" asked an amused voice from the door, and everyone turned to see Libra. "Let's be nice to Virgo on his first day here."

"Preferably all of his days here," said Virgo. "I'm only moving in with you guys so Capricorn doesn't go crazy and kill everyone."

"You guys should come in," offered Libra. "No sense standing around out here." Everyone walked into the living room, where Pisces had just arrived. Libra frowned. "Pisces, where's Cap?"

"Hiding," shrugged Pisces. "Who hasn't showed up yet?"

"Taurus and Cancer," said Virgo. "They should be here in a few minutes. The rest of you guys go ahead and start setting up your rooms."

Aries and Saggy bolted out of the room for the large staircase in the next room, and could be heard trampling up the stairs as they raced for their chosen tower.

Virgo stared at a pile of suitcases. "Saggy forgot her luggage." When Virgo turned away, Aquarius grabbed one of the suitcases and hid it under the couch.

"I can help carry your stuff," Libra offered Gemini Leo and Aquarius.

"Thanks Libra," smiled Gemini. "We should be able to bring all Leo and Aquarius's things up in one trip if we each take two." The four climbed up the stairs, followed by Virgo whose room was in the same area of the house. Once they were gone, Saggy bolted back into the room, grabbed all of her suitcases, (how?) and ran back up the stairs just as fast as she had before.

Pisces waited in the living room for only a minute before the doorbell rang again and Taurus and Cancer arrived. "Hi Cancer!" He leaned in and kissed her forhead. "Hi Taurus!"

"I'm so excited!" bounced Cancer. "We all get to live in a mansion together!"

"It's going to be great!" agreed Pisces. He bent down to grab some of Taurus and Cancer's luggage. "Let me show your guys my fish tank!" The three walked up the stairs.

Meanwhile, Leo inspected his room, for the second time. "I can see it now: Golden drapings, large sculptures of lions, and wall-to-wall posters of my face."

"Actually, that wouldn't be the craziest thing I've heard," shrugged Libra. "One of the walls in Gemini's room is a full mirror so he can feel like he has a twin."

"Yeah, I saw that," remembered Leo. "It's a little freaky actually, having a fake other person in your room."

Gemini frowned. "Freaky? Freaky? It's genius! I'm the twin sign, and I don't even have a twin! That's what's freaky."

Aquarius faked crying. "Gemmy! I thought I was your twin! How could you do this to me!"

Gemini hugged Aquarius. "Of course Aqua. You will never be replaced in my heart."

"Okay then," said Leo. He dropped some of his suitcases in the room. "Now let's go to the tower." Leo had dropped some of his things, so Libra didn't need to carry things anymore. Instead, she went to check on Virgo, who was only two rooms down.

"Hi Virgo," she said. "How goes it?"

"Good," nodded Virgo. "This will work. It's a good room. Which one is yours?"

"The one right next to this one," explained Libra. "And right past mine is Capricorn's. Speaking of Cap, have you seen him?"

"No, but if his room is the one I think it is, he's locked himself in there right now."

Libra sighed. "Excuse me a moment." She peered out of Virgo's room, and then approached Capricorn's door. After pausing for a moment, she knocked. "Capricorn?" Silence. "Cap, I know you're in there. It's me, Libra. You don't have to hide in your room from everyone."

"I'm not hiding," came a voice from inside the room. "I'm reducing the risk of contamination."

Libra snorted. Capricorn was funniest when he wasn't trying. "Capricorn, they don't have the plague. They're not going to infect you. We've all been friends for a while anyways."

Capricorn opened the door. "I'm installing a lock."

"You go ahead and do that," said Libra, pushing down a smile. "C'mon. Let's go help Virgo get set up." Without waiting for a response, she turned, and went back to Virgo's room. Capricorn followed.

Virgo was moving a desk into the corner. The moving van had dropped off most people's furniture already, and Virgo was moving his things to where in the room he needed them to be. "Hello Capricorn." Capricorn grunted at him in greeting.

At that moment, a loud thunk! Was heard from the door. Virgo cautiously opened it, to find Aries hanging a dartboard on it.

"What are you-? Never mind," he said, holding his hands in the air as Aries opened her mouth. "I don't want to know."

"Virgo!" yelled Saggy from down the hall that Virgo's door faced. "Take three steps to your left so I can get a good shot!"

"Absolutely not," said Virgo. "We are not turning my door into a dartboard."

"I bet I can beat you at darts," challanged Aries.

"I refuse to be a part of this," said Virgo.

"You're scared I'm going to beat you!"

"Why would I be scared of that?"

"Come on." Aries squeezed behind Virgo, and began pushing him down the hall. "Oh, hi Libra and Capricorn. You guys might want to leave before we start throwing darts at the door."

"Good idea." Libra and Capricorn wormed their way out, and escaped down the hall to Pisces's room.

Pisces's room was down a small hallway facing Capricorn's. He was helping Taurus and Cancer unpack, who had rooms on either side of him. "Hi guys!" he waved.

"You guys have a really cool house," smiled Cancer.

"And now so do you," returned Libra.

"I love my room!" bounced Pisces. "I have fish tanks covering the walls!"

"It's a real mansion for Charlie," laughed Cancer.

Taurus walked out of her room. "Mine has a mini fridge in it already."

"That's suspiciously convenient," frowned Capricorn.

I busted through the wall he was standing next to. "Yes, it is, isn't it?"

"What are you doing here?" asked Capricorn.

"How nice to be appreciated," I muttered.

"Great," sighed Taurus. "Now my room only has three walls."

"I can fix that," I said. I reconstructed the fourth wall of Taurus' room, and then vanished into a puff of logic.

"That was unusual," noted Cancer.

"Shoot," muttered Taurus. "I think Leo or Aquarius grabbed one of my suitcases by mistake."

"I'll go get it for you," voulenteered Pisces. "I know where their tower is."

"Thanks," nodded Taurus. Pisces walked out of the hallway, turned the corner, and was nearly decapitated by a flying dart.

"YOU CHEATED!" screamed Aries.

"I'm not even-" protested Pisces, but he was cut of by Virgo.

"You saw me throw." Virgo appeared calm, but his lip twitched betraying his amusement. "It's fair." Aries punched his shoulder. "No need to throw a tantrum."

"I hate you, virgin."

"Virgo."

"Um," said Saggy, "You're both beating me."

"Ah, darts," realized Pisces. "Well, toodeloo!" He quickly walked past Aries, Virgo, and Saggy out of the line of fire and made his way to the tower that Gemini Leo and Aquarius had moved in on. He climbed the staircase, but was stopped by a locked trap door. He knocked on the trap door, and it opened.

"Hi Pisces," said Leo. "Welcome to our tower! It's-"

"FABULOUS!" yelled Gemini and Aquarius in unison, swinging on a rope.

Pisces blinked. "How long did it take you to get that rope up there?" They were in a circular room, the ceiling five feet higher than usual, with a swinging rope attached to the ceiling. The rest of the room was bare, furniture stacked up against the sides that hadn't been set up yet.

"This whole time," shrugged Leo, as Gemini and Aquarius toppled off the rope. "They kept jumping on it and it would fall. Then we spent a while arguing about who gets what room."

Pisces blinked. "There are more?"

"Yeah," explained Gemini, running over. "This one, a smaller one up that ladder with a lower ceiling, and an attic, smaller, and shorter. Wassup, fish guy?"

"Did one of you have Taurus's suitcase?" asked Pisces.

"Oh yeah," said Aquarius, running over with an extra suitcase. "We thought that this belonged to a stalker or something."

"That's normal." Pisces took the suitcase, and walked back down the staircase. "Thanks!"

Walking back down the halls, Aries Virgo and Saggy had deserted the hallway. Curious, he poked his head into the entrance to Aries and Saggy's tower.

"I'm not sure this is necessary," floated Virgo's voice.

"How did you cheat?" demamded Aries's voice.

"Maybe you just suck-"

"Shut up Saggy!" A crash sounded, and moments later, Virgo walked back down the stairs, and saw Pisces. He made a shh motion to his lips, and beckoned Pisces down the hall. Once they were a safe distance away, he explained, "They're wrestling again. I escaped. Don't beat Aries at darts."

"I'll remember that," laughed Pisces. "Good luck." He strolled back down the hall to his room, and gave Taurus her suitcase.

"Done." Virgo tucked in the last sheet of his bed, and inspected his room. Overall, he was pleased. Except for the dartboard. But that couldn't be helped.

He checked his watch. It was approaching five. Time to make dinner, he thought. Maybe Libra or Capricorn will want to help. I wouldn't count on anyone else, though. He exited his room, and rapped on Libra and Capricorn's room in turn. Nothing. Instead, he went into Gemini's room, where he heard voices.

"...except, I couldn't find them anywhere!" exclaimed Gemini.

"Did you look in- oh, hi Virgo!" smiled Libra. "Tell me, does biology homework make a regular habit of vanishing off the face of the earth?"

"Not usually," frowned Virgo, repressing a grin, "But there have been exceptions." He paused. "Did either of you have an idea for dinner?"

"Good point," nodded Libra, standing up. "I could help you get started on that..." she trailed off, and frowned. "Yeah, okay. What should we make?"

"Ooh, Libra always makes this really good pasta thing," said Gemini excitedly.

"Gemini," said Libra, amused, "I just follow the instructions on the box."

"It's magic," insisted Gemini.

Leo popped his head into the room. "Aquarius locked me out of the tower."

"Suck it up," shrugged Gemini.

"He's threatening to throw your Marvel comics out the window."

Gemini sat up, alarmed. "This is serious. Excuse me a moment."

Libra laughed as she watched the pair go. "Those three get up to a lot." How do they have time to breathe?

"Yeah," nodded Virgo. "But Aries and Saggy get up to more. I swear, there must be three of them, and they swap break times."

"That wouldn't surprise me at all." Libra and Virgo walked down the stairs, through a few of the rooms, and into the kitchen. To Libra's surprise, Capricorn was already there, stirring a pot. "Oh, hi Cap. We were going to make dinner."

"You always make dinner," answered Capricorn.

"Yeah, that's why I was surprised to see you here."

"The rest of us don't usually help. There is now an infestation of idiots in this house, and I am determined not to be one of them."

"They're not idiots," laughed Libra. "They're our friends."

"Both," whispered Virgo loudly.

Aquarius ran through the kitchen, and jumped into the empty garbage bin. "I'm not here!"

Seconds later, Saggy ran into the room. "Where is he?" she demanded. Virgo, Libra, and Capricorn simultaniously pointed to the garbage bin. "Thanks." Saggy flipped the garbage can on its side, and dragged Aquarius out by his feet. "Where is it, Aquarius?!" she demanded.

"Who is this Aquarius person you keep talking about?" screamed Aquarius. Saggy dragged him out of the room.

Virgo Libra and Capricorn stared.

Gemini and Leo walked into the room. "The stunned looks on your faces either mean Saggy has been here, I look more fabulous than usual. Which is it?" asked Gemini.

"Definately not the second," snorted Capricorn.

"They went that way," pointed Libra.

"Thanks." Leo gave a thumbs up sign and they left.

Aries walked into the room. "Do you have any idea what the heck is going on?"

"Don't you?" asked Virgo. "You're usually... in the thick of things."

"I must be slipping," yawned Aries, walking out of the kitchen.

"Yeah," said Libra after a moment's silence. "Things are going to be interesting." It definately was.


Libra: Guys.

Leo: Wassup!!!

Virgo: Dinner

Taurus: Ooh, Pisces says you make this really good pasta thing.

Libra: It's litterally just boiling water.

Pisces: But you do it so well!!!

Virgo: That's what we're having.

Gemini: YAY THANKS LIBBY

Libra: Uh, Capricorn made it this time, Gem.

Gemini: Correction: YAY THANKS CAPPY

Capricorn: If you call me that again I will murder you in your fricking sleep.

Aries: Don't be a grumpy puss Cappy >:)

Aquarius: DON'T CALL HIM THAT, HE'S BEING SERIOUS

Aries: Cappy has feelings???

Capricorn kicked Aries from the chat

Capricorn: Hope no one minds that.

Saggy: No, thanks a lot.

Aquarius kicked Saggy from the chat

Aquarius: >:)

Pisces: Frick you Aquarius.

Aquarius: ?

Aquarius: Pisces likes Sag???

Aquarius: YOU'RE DATING CANCER, DON'T DO THIS TO HER, PISCES!

Cancer: Hi, this is Pisces. Saggy took my phone.

Cancer: Btw, I love Cancer, she's an amazing person.

Taurus: (Cancer here) Awwwww.....

Pisces: Welp, now I'm back, suckers.

Aquarius: We can fix that.

Aquarius kicked Pisces from the chat

Libra: Um, we just wanted you down here for dinner. How hard it that to do?

Capricorn: [They're idiots]

Gemini: LOOK CRAPPYCORN USED BRACKETS, NOW WE CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HE'S SAYING OH NO

Capricorn kicked Gemini from the chat

Aquarius: PRAISE BE

Capricorn: Like you're any better.

Capricorn kicked Aquarius from the chat

Virgo: That was rude.

Virgo: Why would you do that to Aquarius?

Libra: Aries stole my (Virgo) phone.

Virgo: Ayy I'm Virgo the Virgy Virgin

Capricorn kicked Virgo from the chat

Scorpio: Wait, why am I on this?

Scorpio kicked Taurus from the chat

Scorpio kicked Cancer from the chat

Scorpio kicked Libra from the chat

Scorpio kicked Capricorn from the chat

Scorpio: Is there anyone left?

Leo: No.

Scorpio: Oh, it's just Leo. Well, he's not annoying unless he's with Gemini or Aquairus.

Leo: Hey!!! I can be plenty annoying!

Scorpio: Only if you want to be dead and annoying.

Leo: ...I think I'll keep quiet...

Leo: PSYCH

Leo: Actually I don't wanna get kicked so I dunno.

Leo: DECISIONS

Scorpio kicked Leo from the chat

Scorpio: Decision made.

Scorpio left the chat


"This is delicious," announced Pisces.

"You say you like it," laughed Cancer. "Taurus is on her third helping."

"What?" asked Taurus, through a mouthful of food.

Libra shook her head, amused. "You guys can make this in half an hour if you wanted to."

"If they could read," muttered Capricorn too low to be heard by anyone but Libra, and she had to repress a giggle.

"Thanks a lot for dinner!" waved Gemini, as he Leo and Aquarius excused themselves from the table.

"Not so fast!" yelled Saggy, chasing after Aquarius and tackling him to the floor. "Where is it?"

"I will take this secret to the grave!" he announced.

Cancer frowned. "What did you loose?"

Saggy glared at Aquarius. "An entire suitcase of my luggage went missing."

Cancer frowned. "What makes you think Aquarius did it."

"Because he said he didn't!"

"That makes no sense," frowned Virgo.

"No, think about it," explained Aries. "If he hadn't actually taken it he'd be claiming credit for blasting it to jupiter."

Virgo nodded slowly. "You may have a point there."

"I'm smarter than I look," said Aries, flipping her hair.

"That's because you look so stupid," snickered Saggy.

Aries tackled Saggy off of Aquarius, who bolted.

"Take it back!"

"It's true!"

"I look like a genius!"

"For a horse!"

Virgo sighed, reached down, and pulled Aries and Saggy apart. "Honestly, you two."

"FIGHT ME!"

"OH, I WILL FIGHT YOU ALRIGHT!"

"You do realize," sighed Virgo, "That Aquarius is getting away with the luggage he just sneaked out from under the couch?"

Aries and Saggy simultaniously turned to the living room, where Aquarius ran away with a suitcase.

"THAT'S MINE!" screeched Saggy, sprinting after him.

"Oh, I didn't even notice that," said Aries.

"And you said you're smarter than you look," mumbled Capricorn.

Aries flipped her hair again. "I'm fabulous."

"That's my thing!" yelled Gemini, Leo, and Pisces(???) at the same time.

Cancer shot a confused look at Pisces, who shrugged. "Aquarius wasn't here, so someone had to fill in."

"I'll fill in for Scorpio, then," grinned Leo, put on his best emo face, and slouched against the wall. "I hate all of you."

"Anyone can do that," scoffed Gemini.

Leo smiled at Gemini, and Gemini could see the demons of hell in his eyes. He backed away slowly.

"Yay!" cheered Leo, and the moment passed. "I can channel my Scorpio look!"

"She's possesing him over text message," whispered Taurus. "C'mon, let's go finish setting up our rooms." She Cancer and Pisces left for upstairs.

Gemini nudged Leo. "We never finished installing those lion statues in your room." As an afterthought, he added "And Aquarius still has the tower locked."

"Rawr," said Leo, and they walked away.

"This is going to be interesting," smiled Libra, for the third or fourth time.

---

On his way to his room, Virgo avoided Aries and Saggy, pounding on a locked door and yelling incresingly insulting things about Aquarius's hygene before Aries could recruit him to sneak in a window. He was almost inside his room, when he heard someone call "Virgo!"

Sighing, Virgo turned around, saying, "Look, I've already told you, I don't have a grappeling hook, so stop- oh, hi Libra. I er... was expecting someone else..."

"It's fine," laughed Libra. "Want to play darts with us?" She, Gemini, and Leo were in the middle of a game.

Virgo hesitated. "Um, sure."

"Libra, Virgo being here isn't going to help you dodge the question!" grinned Gemini.

"What question?" asked Virgo, having missed the first half of the conversation.

Libra rolled her eyes. "They want to know if I 'like' anyone. People, I just came here to play darts."

"Is it me?" grinned Leo.

"Nope," said Libra, popping the 'p'. "Can we just play darts?"

"I second," said Virgo, tossing his at the target.

"She's avoiding the question," mused Gemini. "That means she has something to hide."

"Or, I could just be bored with the topic of conversation," suggested Libra.

"Yeah right," said Gemini. "You love to gossip."

"Fine," sighed Libra, turning around. "If you really want to know, I do. And don't bother asking me who, because I'm a mess and even I don't know that. Can we get back to playing darts? Please?"

"Alright, I'll stop asking," relented Gemini. "The subject is banned."

"Fine, you people are no fun," sighed Leo dramatically, throwing his dart, and missing completely.

"Who do you like Leo?" teased Libra.

"Ummm, uh, cake?" suggested Leo, turning slightly red.

"Fair," shrugged Gemini, throwing a dart. "Wait, how is Virgo winning?"

"Maybe because I'm paying attention to the game?" suggested Virgo. "Unlike you?"

"Also fair," shrugged Leo.

Suddenly, there was a crash from the end of the hall that sounded sort of like a window breaking. Virgo twitched, but restrained himself from moving.

---

"What's all that noise?" asked Cancer, as she settled into her bedsheets. She, Taurus and Pisces were having a sleepover in her room.

"Our friends I suspect," yawned Taurus, while reaching for a handful of chips. "Good night."

"Good night, Charlie!" waved Pisces.

Cancer stared at the ceiling, smiling. Then, she rolled over and went to sleep.
