It is six in the morning. The zodiacs were all eating pancakes. They had already packed up their stuff and left their suitcases in the bus. They had also already gave the hotel back their keys, making sure they haven't left anything behind.

°+*:;;:*⭐*:;;:*+°

The zodiacs are all sitting at a table for 24 people. No one had uttered a single word since they all know they would miss California.

"I wish we can stay here longer.." Levin sighed.

"Me too, but home calls for us too." Tahlia sighed, "I mean there's school."

"And work," Lizzy added.

"And also the pets," Skyler added. He was devastated since his alarm idea was a massive fail. Turns out Vivian woke up earlier than the alarm. He decided to upgrade the plan and use it next time.

"Speaking of pets, who is taking care of them?" Carol asked, "We couldn't just leave the pets by themselves."

"Actually.....I didn't tell you guys this I think. Me, Pete, Arlen and Alyssa left our pets with my sister Melissa and her husband Jesse. I know they would take good care of them."

(Big thank you to Mei aka _Meillo_ for helping me with the names.)

"Wait..... I have an older brother named Jesse and he got married to this woman named Melissa. Is Jesse......Jesse Sampson?" Sam asked.

"Yes," Lizzy replied. Her eyes widened, "Wait..... don't tell me-"

The two exchanged a smile. They could hardly believe the news. That's when Sabrina interrupted the moment.

"Hate to interrupt this shocking moment, but I have two things." Sabrina pointed out, "One; I didn't know Lizzy had an older sister and Sam had an older brother."

"Well,now you know," Sam replied scratching the back of his head.

"I also have another older sister, but she ditched us and moved to to the other side of the world

"Why?" Tahlia asked.

"She loves it there."

"Oh."

"Anyways. Number two; Lizzy, Aika and Arlen have pets?" Sabrina asked.

"Yeah. I own a small cute white dog, Arlen owns a turtle while Alyssa owns a parakeet." Lizzy replied.

"IT'S NOT A PARAKEET, IT'S A PARAYEET." Alyssa shouted.

"SAME. DIFFERENCE." Lizzy playfully smacked Alyssa on the arm.

There was an awkward silence that followed. For some reason, Sienna was in an awfullly quiet mood. Gilbert noticed and poked Sienna's cheek. "You're quiet today. Cheer up."

"No." Sienna huffed. Then she picked up her food and moved to an empty table nearby. The others noticed and they gave each other worried glances.

"What happened to Sienna?" Gilbert asked, "Did I do something wrong?"

"You didn't do anything wrong, but she has been like this for a while now," Vincent replied, shaking his head. He looked over at Sienna and frowned.

Another silence. Aika and Leo (who were sitting next to each other) exchanged glances with each other. They then started mumbling.

"Should we...tell them?" Leo whispered to Aika.

"I have a feeling it would be more dramatic later on," Aika whispered back.

"What are you two on about?" Pete asked, noticing the whispering.

Leo and Aika exchanged glances with each other. Then back at the group. Aika took a shaky deep breath. She felt relieved with Leo held her hand under the table, "There's something we got to tell you..."

"Me and Aika are now a thing," Leo mumbled.

Silence. Colin just picked up his food and left to go to Sienna's table. The others stayed silent.

"I'm gay." Cameron interrupted, ruining the silence. He noticed what he just said, "Wrong timing?"

The others nodded. Alyssa and Pete turned to Sienna and Colin in worry. Phoebe just....sighed sadly. "I knew something like this would sadly happen..."

"Is it bad?" Aika asked.

"No, we are happy you two are together... but I knew this would happen." Phoebe replied, "I knew this Love U or Love n would go badly."

"Love U?" Giselle asked.

"It's a bit of a long explanation. But... Leo and Aika like each other, but Sienna likes Leo and Colin likes Aika, but Leo and Aika didn't feel the same way back. Now that Leo and Aika are together, it left Sienna and Colin heartbroken." Phoebe sighed.

"That is too much info," Arlen mumbled, his mouth full.

"Arlen Georges, that is disgusting. EAT then talk." Vivian sighed, rolling her eyes.

"I didn't want to bring it up since it would bother us during our holiday... but it made things worse. I am sorry.." Phoebe frowned.

"It's ok. It had to be done." Tyler replied, "We can come back to California again, but in a better mood."

"That's right, in a time where people aren't upset." Carol agreed. She turned to Alyssa and Pete, "Sometimes the best way to stop heartbreak is to...get over it. Yes, it may hurt but... there are other fish in the sea. I know from experience. I want you two to talk to Sienna and Colin about this. I know this is hard, I feel their exact heartbreak, but there is hope for them. This same message applies to all of us."

"Wait...what? What do you mean you 'know from experience'?" Cleo asked.

"Long story."

Alyssa and Pete got up. They looked over at the heartbroken Sienna and Colin, then at the others.

"We'll talk to them." Alyssa mumbled.

"Good, now I expect this problem to be fixed by the time we arrive home." Vivian instructed, "Let's hope this doesn't happen again. Now hurry up, we have to board a plane soon."

°+*:;;:*⭐*:;;:*+°

(Soon)

After finishing their breakfast, driving to the airport and returning the bus back to its normal spot. The zodiacs all caught their plane to get back home.
Unlike last time where everyone had assigned seats, now everyone can sit wherever they want, but they need to stay together as a group.

Sienna, Colin and Aika are sitting in a row together. Colin was looking out the window, Sienna was sitting in the middle while Aika was near the aisle, giving a worried look to Leo, who was seated at the row next to her, Alyssa and Pete.

There was a silence that was shared. Aika took a deep breath, "Listen, I've heard about what happened, but let's all try to solve this."

No response. Aika sighed.

"I know it is hard, getting over someone you had a crush on, but they like someone else and I am sorry about it. I've heard that Colin likes me and Sienna likes Leo." Aika sighed, "I know you two are probably upset, but we are sorry."

"No, we are sorry." Colin whispered, "We can just move on. You and Leo are happy together."

"But you aren't happy." Aika frowned.

"Well, we can be happy later on," Sienna smiled, "We can find other people. It would be hard but worth it."

Colin nodded, "Other than that we are happy for you and Leo."

Aika smiled, "Really?"

"Yeah." Sienna smiled.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. Alyssa and Pete had a talk with us about it, so it is ok."

Aika smiled. She gave Sienna a hug then looked back at Leo who breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally the drama is over." Leo chuckled.

"Don't be ahead of yourself lion." Sienna teased.

That caused the others to crack up. They all noticed random background characters were staring at them, but the group didn't care. They are happy that the drama was finally over.

°+*:;;:*⭐*:;;:*+°

(Back home at Zodiac Street at night)

After a long tiring journey, the zodiacs have returned back to their homes. Since they arrived at night everyone was tucked up in their beds, sleeping soundly.

Well,I take that back, MOST people are tucked up in their beds, sleeping soundly.

Carol, Vivian, Tahlia, Skyler, Gilbert and Sabrina are all hanging out House 8, watching a movie. They were all watching a movie together making sure not to scream since Phoebe was in her room fast asleep.
The other zodiacs aren't with them because they also are...you guessed it, fast asleep.

"California was great and all, but," Vivian sighed happily, "It's great to be back."

"Not really, since school but yeah... I miss my bed." Gilbert pointed out, making Vivian glare at him.

"We all miss our beds." Skyler sighed, rolling his eyes, "That's a fact."

The others nodded in agreement. They all stayed silent, watching the movie.

"So the love n drama is finally over," Carol mumbled.

"I thought it was a love U?" Tahlia asked.

"I thought it was a love n."

"..."

"..."

"Oh my-"

That's when Vivian's eyes widened, "Oh no..."

"What's wrong?" Tahlia asked.

"I think I forgot something back at California..."

The other exchanged worried glances, "What is it..."

"I don't remember, I hope it is not my book."

But she was wrong, Vivian had accidentally left her book back at the room she was in  California.
The book was on her bedside table, with some of the corners of the pages folded since Vivian bookmarked them.

A man walked into the room with his luggage. He saw the book and picked it up, opening it.

Since the book was named, the man named Vivian's full name on the first page.

"Vivian Caster eh?" the man mumbled, "Sounds very familiar. Very familiar indeed...."

°+*:;;:*⭐*:;;:*+°
