Christmas Gift

" I can not fathom how happy I am that Christmas is TWO FLIPPIN days away!" Taurus shrieked with happiness.

Aries rolled his eyes. " We know how happy you are, Taurus. Now SHUT UP."

" Uhg, fine," Taurus spat, and walked towards the tv.

" Hey Tar, got any suggestions to watch?" Gemini asked.

" Horror." Taurus replied boredly.

Gemini flipped on the tv to the main channels. A Charlie Brown christmas was playing.

" LETS WATCH THIS!" Libra screamed, throwing popcorn up in the air.

Everyone looked at each other with puzzled looks on their faces.

Gemini shrugged. " I'm in. Now pick up the popcorn, lib."

In response, Libra started eating the popcorn off the carpet.

" Someone's in a tizzy," Taurus laughed coldly.

Virgo shot her friend a look.

" Gimme some hair gel!" Leo called from the bathroom.

Virgo slapped a hand to her forehead. 

                                                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Scorpio sighed dramatically. He grazed the box in his pocket with a finger, taking a deep breath. Now was the time.

He stood up and was prepared to open the door when he heard a knock. 

" Come in."

He froze when Virgo walked in. 

Her hair was all pretty for their formal Christmas party Libra and Gemini had set up. She was wearing a coral dress that went just above her knees. Her eyes were sparkling.

" Like?" She asked, twirling around.

" Yeah-you look perfect," Scorpio gaped in awe.

" Well, Lib, did my hair," She admitted, playing with a dark brown lock.

" Yeah. Well, you look great."

" And you look," She paused while she surveyed him. " Comfortable."

" Oh. Yeah. I forgot to change into my uh, suit."

" Suit?" Virgo laughed. " Scorpio wearing suit? Ha, now THAT is something  gotta see! Hurry up and get changed!" She turned around to leave.

" Virgo?"

" Yeah?" She looked at him quizically.

" Please stay." He swallowed.

" Scorpio? Is something wrong?"

Scorpio dug the box out of his pocket. " Open this."

Virgo took the box from his hands. Slowly she opened the present, and then gasped, holding up a silver necklace with a horse pendant attatched.

" Wow. Scorp."

" I know how much you love horses," Scorpio's voice trembled slightly.

" Thank you."

" Yeah."

Scorpio stood up, and wrapped his arms around Virgo's waist.

And then.......he pressed his lips to hers.

They were soft, perfect, everything. He sank into the moment, but then Virgo pulled away. 

" Uh, Scorp-"

" Vi. Will you be my girlfriend."

Virgo smiled at him. " I'd love to."
