The 50th chapter may or may not take a long wait. Just to inform you.

•.:°×═⭐ 🌟═×°:.• (Bob and Zoe are in a hammock together, holding hands. Jay however is in the background chasing seagulls-)

It is the next morning at Zodiac Street. Wait... no one is at Zodiac Street.

It is the next morning at the countryside home and Sabrina, Gilbert, Leo, Sam, Alyssa, Vincent, Cleo, Giselle, Levin, Arlen & Sienna are in the Recreation Room doing a variety of activities.

Giselle, Levin, Cleo and Arlen are playing Monopoly, which is not a wise decision guys, but I wish you luck.

Vincent, however, is playing 'A Thousand Miles' on the piano. He had practiced the song since he was a young boy so the song was easy for him.

Leo, Sam, Alyssa and Sienna are playing MarioKart on the Wii. Leo is so far in the lead as Mario, Alyssa is in second place as Daisy, Sam is at 5th place as Luigi while Sienna is at tenth place as Peach (she doesn't care about winning like the other three). The map everyone is playing on is Peach Beach. So far everyone is on the third round.

"If ANYONE and I mean ANYONE throws a blue shell, I am gonna sue," Leo pointed out, focusing on his game

"Love to see that happening." Sam smirked. He had a blue shell with him.

"Yo Leo, Sam has a blue shell." Sienna brought up.

"It's not like he is going to throw it." Leo shrugged, "He's my best friend."

"But I thought Gilbert is your best friend." Alyssa muttered.

Sam threw the blue shell, "Oopsies."

'BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP!!! MAMMA!!!!'

"NoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo!!" Leo screamed, "I HATE YOU SAM! At least I am still in first."

"Now's my chance." Alyssa smiled. Since her character is holding three mushrooms, the girl used them to not only knock Leo's character over but to also pass the finish line. Alyssa stood up and did a celebration dance, "I WON! WHOOP! WHOOP! I WON!!!!"

"NO!!!!" Leo cried out noticing Alyssa and another driver drive past, "At least I am in 3rd place."

Then Leo's character got hit by lots of green shells making him 10th place. Sienna went straight up to 5th place.

"Oh shortcakes, I'm in 10th place." Leo pouted, "At least it's not last place."

Two drivers drove past making Leo last place. Leo sighed and made his character cross the finish line, "Spoke too soon."

"I WON! I WON!" Alyssa continued celebrating as she swayed from side to side.

"I LOST! THIS GAME SUCKS!" Leo yelled, throwing his Wii remote on the ground.

"What did the innocent remote do to you?" Levin asked, eavesdropping Leo yelling about losing the game, "It's just a game."

"JUST a game???"

"Leo.." Alyssa snickered before singing, "JUST CHILL AND CHILL AND RELAX-LAX. Gosh dammit Phoebe and Skyler you got the song stuck in MY head."

Meanwhile Sabrina and Gilbert are playing pool at the pool table. Sabrina is teaching Gilbert the basics of the game. Gilbert was taking note on the rules and even admired Sabrina playing the game.

"Your main aim is to knock each of the coloured balls into their nets." Sabrina explained, "You can't pick up any of the balls. Instead, you must knock them over using the white ball."

"That sounds easy." Gilbert chuckled.

"That's what I said when I started playing." Sabrina smiled getting out a triangle rack and placing it in the middle, "Help me collect all the coloured balls and place them in this rack. The 8-ball needs to be in the middle."

Gilbert nodded and helped Sabrina with the pool balls. The two zodiacs were placing the balls in the rack and noticing their hands accidentally touched. The two exchanged glances and stayed quiet.

"O...K!" Sabrina chuckled awkwardly, placing her hand on her hip. She then placed the white ball in front of the coloured ball triangle and carefully lifted the rack, "Come round here Gilbert. I need to teach you about breaking."

"Breaking?" Gilbert asked.

"Yes, you can do it." Sabrina smiled, "I'll teach you."

Sabrina helped Gilbert position his pool stick, "You need to break apart this family."

"Nooo! I'll ruin the family reunion."

"I know... it's sad, but that's how you start the game. Now Mr White Ball the party crasher needs to crash the reunion."

"Are you assuming the ball's gender?" Gilbert laughed, "SABRINA!"

"WAIT, IT IS A FEMALE??"

"No, I was just joking around."

Sabrina ruffled Gilbert's hair, "You're such an idiot."

"I know I am."

Gilbert smacked the white ball using his pool stick making the coloured balls scatter. Sabrina cheered but then acted nonchalant.

"Good job. Now let's continue." Sabrina smiled.

Gilbert nodded and the two continued playing their game. They were interrupted by Lily, who had just walked down the stairs.

"Hey guys, breakfast is ready."

"Is it oatmeal? I don't like oatmeal." Gilbert asked.

"What's wrong with oatmeal?" Vincent inquired from the piano.

"I just don't like it."

Lily shook her head. "It's not oatmeal, instead we are having breakfast sandwiches and hash browns. So you guys better hurry."

"GIMME!" Leo, Sienna, Gilbert, Cleo and Alyssa yelled, dashing up the staircase. The others chuckled and followed behind them.

Sabrina however, packed up the pool game, "Maybe next time we can play pool." Then she followed the others to the dining room.

•.:°×═⭐═×°:.• (Jay is being chased by seagulls while Bob and Zoe are talking to each other)

Soon everyone is seated at the dining room. They were all waiting for Mrs Taylor to serve their breakfast. While they were waiting, everyone started talking about the plans for the day. They even introduced themselves to Mr Taylor, Colin's uncle.

Since there were two dining tables, the group had to be split up.

Alex, Tahlia, Gilbert, Carol, Leo, Vivian, Levin, Sabrina, Sam, Cleo, Arlen, Phoebe and Mr Taylor sat down at one of the tables while Alyssa, Tyler, Giselle, Colin, Lily, Vincent, Lizzy, Skyler, Sienna, Cameron, Aika, Pete, Maddie and Mark sat own at another table. Molly however, is seated at her high chair having a conversation with her toys.

Everyone is in a joyful mood- wait that's a lie. Tyler, Phoebe and Skyler are in a grouchy mood. Tyler and Phoebe were grouchy because they both woke up to find themselves sleeping together in a hammock. As for Skyler, he is in a sour mood because he just got spooked by a robot lizard.

Mrs Taylor had set down everyone's breakfasts on the table. She also gave Molly toast shapes.

"This looks delicious." Vivian smiled, "Smells delicious."

Gilbert took a bite of his breakfast. He then swallowed it, wriggling in his seat, "Tastes delicious too!"

"I was expecting Chicken Noodle Soup." Cameron pointed out, "With a soda as a side."

"Just fantastic. The song is stuck in my head." Sabrina sighed.

Mrs Taylor chuckled as she got her meal. She pulled Molly's highchair towards the table and sat down on her own seat. Mr Taylor however, paused eating for a moment, "So how was your rest? Were the beds comfortable?"

"Very." Tahlia answered, noticing the nods from everyone else, "Thanks for arranging the rooms for us."

"We were thrilled to meet you. Colin has told us a lot about you. a lot of good things that is." Mr Taylor smiled warmly.

"Oh?" Lizzy asked before turning to Colin, who is sliding down his seat bashfully, "Is that true Colin?"

"Yes." Colin nodded back, "I told them that you guys are considerate, funny, decent people to talk to..."

"Let's hope it keeps that way," Sam muttered, before he was kicked on the shin by Cleo.

Colin's family chuckled. Mr Taylor swallowed his bite and rested his hand on the table, "I hope so too. By the way, I have a question for all of you. Is there anything you have been looking forward to?"

"ANIMALS!" Cleo chimed, standing up from her seat.

"THE COSTUME PARTY!" Sienna added.

"FOOD!" Tyler called out. (Relatable)

"FLOWER MEADOWS!" Pete sighed dreamily.

"There is no flower meadow." Maddie pointed out.

"Awww...."

"Yes, I know you are all excited about what is up in store," Mr Taylor smiled, "But with that you need to do chores."

"CHORES?" Giselle frowned. She then turned to Mark, "You guys never mentioned anything about chores."

"I mean it is common sense." Mark shrugged, "We have to do chores, and they are important cause these chores help supermarkets and families. These chores are fun, I promise."

"In this case, we are doing this for the town nearby." Maddie continued, "It's a busy life in here, that's for sure."

"So that's why you told us you don't use the recreation room that often." Carol muttered. Mark and Maddie nodded back.

"I never knew washing the dishes are important to the public." Lily sighed, rolling her eyes.

"They kinda are in restaurants." Cameron pointed out.

Mrs Taylor smiled and shook her head, "You won't be doing the dishes or cleaning anything in this case. For today we have offered you three FUN chores." She then continued, "The first chore would be helping me prepare the lunch and snacks for everyone in the kitchen. This includes cookies."

Sienna, Cleo and Phoebe's eyes twinkled when they heard the word 'cookies'. Alyssa however shrugged, "I was expecting donuts."

"You and your donut loving phrase!" Vivian yelled, "JUST MARRY A DONUT ALREADY."

"Vivian.... I pictured that. And I don't want to picture that." Alex sighed.

"The next two chores will be at the farm. One is involving animals which is basically milking and collecting eggs. And also giving animals their meals." continued Mrs Taylor, "The last chore is basically picking fruits in the orchard. We can deal with the vegetables later."

"I like talking to the animals!" Molly squealed loudly as she picked up a stuffed cow toy in a dress and started to play with it.

"She just loves working with animals." Maddie translated making everyone else laugh.

"So eight people in each group." Vincent muttered, "Four boys and four girls basically. But wait.... one of the groups will have three guys, one non-binary and four girls."

"Wait, non-binary?" Mark raising his hand, "Oh!"

"Can someone other than me please arrange the teams?" Vivian inquired, "I just want to experience difference for once. Also name them after the constellations: Lyra, Lepus and Orion."

"I can try..." Tahlia offered, before arranging the teams. The teams are

COOKING [Team Lyra]
- Leo
- Cameron
- Gilbert
- Colin
- Sienna
- Cleo
- Giselle (Oof)
- Phoebe
(I am scared)

ANIMALS [Team Lepus]
- Sam
- Tyler
- Levin
- Pete
- Alyssa
- Tahlia
- Aika
- Sabrina

ORCHARD [Team Orion]
- Alex
- Vincent
- Arlen
- Skyler
- Lily
- Vivian
- Lizzy
- Carol

"FOR ONCE, I AM IN A PEACEFUL GROUP!" Vivian cheered, "HALLELUJAH!"

"Save me..." Giselle pouted. She ended up having a sympathetic pat on the back by Vincent (who had just walked over just to get close with Giselle).

"If you want, I can trade places with Cameron." Vincent offered, "So that you won't be alone."

There was a reason why Vincent wanted to trade places with Cameron. Not only he would help manage the group, but also stay connected and close to Giselle. She is, after all, Vincent's crush.

"It's fine Vincent. I am sure I can handle 7 rowdy zodiacs." Giselle smiled, "But thanks for the offer anyways."

"Why DID you want to swap with me anyways Vincent?" Cameron fake sobbed, "You are taking me away from my best friends!"

"........" was Vincent's response.

"I forgot to mention this to you kids, but the orchard and animal groups get to ride cart guided by a tractor to get to the farm."

"I WANT TO RIDE THE TRACTOR." Gilbert pouted.

"You can't," Vivian pointed out, "You are cooking."

"BUT I WANNA RIDE A TRACTOR...."

"YOU KNOW WHAT!" Arlen declared, standing up, "Gilbert can swaps spots with me, as long as he does his work."

"YAYYYY I GET TO RIDE A TRACTOR!" Gilbert cheered like a little kid, "ARLEN IS MY BESTIE. So are the crazy squad and Sabrina."

"Wait hold on... there must be some kind of mis-" Sabrina frowned.

"If Arlen swaps with Gilberta, can I swap with Cameron?" Vincent begged.

"NO! I. WANT. TO. COOK!"

"Welp.." Vincent then turned to Giselle and Arlen, "I wish you two luck."

"Anyways, after you had your breakfast the two groups going to the farm with ride on a cart guided by a tractor with me, Molly, Maddie and Mark. The rest of you will stay back at the house - don't misbehave, please."

"We won't misbehave!" Leo, Cameron, Colin, Sienna, Cleo and Phoebe replied, doing angelic smiles.

"O h n o." Arlen and Giselle muttered.

"Ok, now I am happy I didn't swap with Cameron." Vincent mumbled.

After everyone had their breakfasts and cleaned their plates, the ones going to the tractor left immediately so they can get to the chores on time. As for Leo, Cameron, Arlen, Colin, Sienna, Cleo, Giselle and Phoebe, the all washed their hands and dried them before the started cooking with Mrs Taylor. The girls were advised to put their hair into a bun so that the hair will be out of the way.

•.:°×═⭐═×°:.• (Bob is admiring the ocean)

[SOON]

"ARE WE THERE YET????" Alyssa and Molly whinged as the rode on the cart. The others sighed.

"Alyssa, NO. We just left the house, be patient." Vivian ordered.

"If I hear another 'Are we there yet?' I am going to scream." Sam muttered.

Alyssa and Molly exchanged glances with each other before a smirk slowly appeare on their faces. They both turned to Sam and screeched, "ARE WE THERE YET???????????????????"

Sam screamed and then covered his face with his hands. Mark gave the Sagittarius male a quizzical look.

"You're sick of the phrase as well?"

"I mean, we hear it a lot, so we are already sick of it." Lizzy explained.

"I see. Molly does the same thing as well."

"We tried our hardest to make Alyssa stop saying the phrase, but it's hard." Alex pointed out, "Anyways, who is taking care of the two groups?"

Mark smiled, "My father and Maddie will help the orchard group. As for me and Molly,we'll help deal with the animals."

"And is it fun?" Pete asked softly.

"I mean, you don't see us complaining."

"HULULULULULULU!" Alyssa randomly yodelled (Thanks NoBodyAnimates for getting that stuck in my head)

"Wot?" the others asked, turning to the Aries female. The girl just shrugged back.

That's when the tractor and cart stopped. The group noticed they were parked near a barn. Mark got up immediately.

"We're here."

[MEANWHILE]

As the others were busy riding tractors, Team Lyra were in the kitchen making food, including cookies. They are making:

- Chocolate chip cookies
- Salad
- Fruit punch
- Quiches
- Even Fruit Kebabs

Everyone is assigned a diferent job. Leo and Cleo are busy working on the cookies, Cameron and Phoebe are making fruit kebabs and fruit punch, Arlen and Giselle are making quiches while Sienna and Colin are working on the salad. Mrs Taylor is busy supervising the kitchen to give instructions to the group (and also make sure nothing bad happens).

Leo grabbed a scoop of the already made chocolate chip cookie dough with an ice-cream scoop and rolled it into a ball. He turne to Cleo hoping she would do the same thing.

Cleo bit her lip and grabbed a scoop of cookie dough using a tablespoon. She frowned when she noticed her cookie dough was smaller than Leo's, "Oh..."

"That's ok, that means someone would have a smaller cookie than usual."

Cleo shook her head quickly, "It's NOT ok. It's not fair." She grabbed a bit of cookie dough an rolled it into the ball she is rolling. She frowned at her end result, "Now it's larger than your ball."

"Cleo.." Leo sighed, "Would you like me to scoop up the cookie dough? That way you can roll the cookie dough into balls."

"Sounds like a plan."

"Great. First of all, I need to fix your cookie dough ball."

Leo picked up Cleo's chocolate chip cookie dough ball and fixed it to the size Cleo was aiming for. He then started to scoop chocolate chip dough and pass them to Cleo who rolled them into perfect balls.

"Have you made cookies before?" Leo asked randomly, "You know, as a young child?"

Cleo shook her head. Leo gasped.

"YOU NEVER MADE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES BEFORE????"

"....Yeah. I wasn't allowed by the personal che-"

"YOU AN VIVIAN HAD A PERSONAL CHEF???? WHERE DID YOU LIVE AT BEFORE? A PALACE???"

"Mansion." Cleo corrected, "Dad is extremely rich and my mother was a journalist.... also the chef was also our nanny."

Leo's mouth dropped open, unable to form the right words, "Then how come-"

"Cause me and Vivian both want to live normally. Mansions are not the dream for us."

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME? LIVING IN A MANSION IS A DREAM!!!" Leo yelled, "How come you don't like it."

"Unless you want high expectations from your parents then that's why." Cleo explained, "Dad is very strict on us."

"Then how did you get to school back th-"

"Mother." Cleo answered immediately, "If we had it dad's way then we would have been homeschooled. And me and Vivian don't want to be be isolated with no friends other than each other."

"Fair enough." Leo muttered, "But wait. How did you guys make friends with Cameron, Alyssa and Sam. Please tell me you are joking."

"I am not joking." Cleo replied solemly, "If you want proof, me and Vivian have a locked chest in the attic with all the formal outfits we used to wear."

"BUT WHO TAUGHT YOU GUYS HOW TO COOK???"

"Tahlia." Cleo answered with a sigh, "Though she wasn't taught how to make chocolate chip cookies."

"RIGHT! EXPECT ME TO SNEAK INTO YOUR HOUSE TO TEACH YOU THREE THAT RECIPE."

"Leo, are you ok? You have been yelling a lot recently." Giselle asked softly. Cleo and Leo both noticed everyone staring at them.

"He's going through surprised stage." Cleo answered.

"I don't believe it..." muttered Leo, "I seriously don't believe it."

"Yeah I could tell." Phoebe muttered.

"Cleo, Leo, love the teamwork you are doing with the chocolate chip cookies. Are they almost done?" Mrs Taylor asked.

"We're halfway there." Leo and Cleo replied simultaneously.

"Ok cause we need to bake the quiches," Mrs Taylor replied, "So take your time."

"Will do!" the cookie duo replied before resuming their work on the cookies. Leo then nudged Cleo, hard.

"So it's a deal, huh. I will come over to your house to teach you all how to bake cookies."

Cleo did a small giggle and rolled her eyes, "Sounds like a deal indeed."

•.:°×═⭐═×°:.•

[SOON]

After a lot of working, it is finally break time for the zodiacs. Team Orion and Team Lepus have already got back from the tractor ride and everyone had the treats the cooking team made. If the zodiacs have to be honest, they never expected the cooking team to make such delicious food, especially the chocolate chip cookies.

The group were also told that their groups will remain the same but the jobs would rotate. Because of that, the zodiacs decided to give themselves some free time before they get to their next job.

Now all the zodiacs are all seperated into groups of three:

Leo, Sienna, Sam, Sabrina, Gilbert, Skyler, Cameron and Vincent are in the recreation room doing different acitivities (actually it's more of MarioKart Wii, Chess and Pool. Sabrina and Gilbert are playing a pool, Vincent and Cameron are playing chess while the other four are playing MarioKart).

Vivian, Tahlia, Arlen, Levin, Alex, Lizzy, Carol and Colin are having a conversation in the backyard.

Alyssa, Tyler, Giselle, Lily, Cleo, Aika, Pete and Phoebe (which are going to focus on in this paragraph) are in the living room fangirling/fanboying over Miraculous Ladybug, which is playing on the TV currently. So far the theme song is playing on for the group.

"MIRACULOUS! SIMPLY THE BEST!" the group sang loudly, "UP TO THE TEST WHEN THINGS GO WRONG!"

The group kept screaming the lyrics while prancing around the room. By the time the theme song had finished, the eight zodiacs sighed and flopped back onto the couch, watching the episode.

"This show is amazing." Lily sighed, "My favourite."

"Same." the others replied.

Silence..... well, the only sounds that were heard were Molly screaming and the TV.

"So....." Giselle sighed.

"So....." the others copied.

"How was your chores?"

"Oh, I wheezed when I did mine. Tyler got chased by a dog." Alyssa laughed, clutching her stomach. Tyler ended up glaring at the female.

"What happened?" Cleo asked agape (as in mouth open in wonder).

Tyler sighed and crossed his arms. "We met Mr Taylor's other sheepdog, a male named Charlie. He was excited to see me at least. So he-"

"Chased Tyler around making him scream." Alyssa smiled, batting her eyelashes 'innocently'.

"Yes..... luckily Mr Taylor controlled the dog."

"But he wants licks." Pete replied, covering his mouth his hand to prevent himself from laughing, "And that's adorable."

"Not when you are chased by a sheepdog."

"Fair enough." Pete smiled. He then turned to Lily, "Lily? How was the orchard."

"Pretty fun." Lily nodded back, "We were picking apples. Although Gilbert was chasing Skyler, and somehow they BOTH tripped over."

"Why am I not surprised?" Aika chuckled.

"Because it's them." Lily smiled, "Vivian was filming the entire thing while she was picking up apples. They others chose to focus on their work."

"Three types of people, I guess." Tyler shrugged.

"YOU GUESS?" the others exclaimed. They then burst out into laughter. Tyler was confused at first but then he awkwardly joined in.

"Hey Tyler, I have a question." Alyssa suddenly pointed out, hugging a cushion, "How comfortable is the hammock?"

"Very comfortable. Peaceful as well until Phoebe came out of nowhere."

"I don't know how I got there...." Phoebe muttered.

Lily manage to keep a straight face, "Sleepwalking?"

"I don't sleepwalk."

"How can you tell? You'll be asleep."

"In that case..." Alyssa mumbled softly before declaring, "I'M SLEEPING IN THE HAMMOCK TONIGHT! AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME."

"Looks like I don't have to worry about cute girls snuggling next to me." Tyler smiled.

"Hey!" Phoebe frowned, turning to the male.

"OOP! Ahaha.... that wasn't aimed at anyone in particular. Totally wasn't aimed."

The others chuckled at Tyler's comment. The room fell silent again and everyone noticed the episode still playing on.

"Didn't we watch this episode before?" Pete muttered.

"Who cares? We'll rewatch it anyways." Alyssa smiled.

And so they did. By the time the episode was finished, the groups were called back to their chores. Team Lyra had to help with the animals, Team Lepus had to help out in the orchard while Team Orion had to make food for dinner.

After all the chores were done, everyone ha dinner and then got ready to get to sleep. Alyssa enjoyed the hammock on the veranda while the others stayed inside in their rooms.

But neither of them knew what the next day has in store for them....

•.:°×═⭐═×°:.•

Not the proudest chapter, but what can I say about it. I feel like this chapter is rushed, so apologies for that.

I'll make it up for the 50th chapter, which may or may not take a long wait. I'm so excited!
