School is a massive paaaaaain. It makes matters worse that in a couple of weeks I have exams coming up, just a headstart. Because of the start of Term 4 for me, updates may be slow again. 

Also, I am sorry about the long wait. I was sick, my left part of my neck hurt (it's better now), I was stressed about assessment tasks also exams coming up, worried about next year, went to the city for an excursion and not to mention dealing with school. But I made sure to publish this chapter just for you guys.

On a good note, since October is the month of Halloween, Zodiac Street WILL have a Halloween Special.

Day 4 of Holiday

It is the next day, and Vivian is a bridesmaid at the church.

Wait a minute...... bridesmaid? Church? Vivian did not remember her being a bridesmaid at a wedding, not to mention get invited to a wedding. She also did not remember wearing a knee-length red bridesmaid dress with black strap heels.

The girl looked around the church and noticed everyone but Alyssa and Sienna, Cleo and Sam were at the church. Sabrina, Phoebe and Lily were the bridesmaids wearing red knee-length bridesmaids dresses and black heels. Gilbert, Colin, Pete, Cameron and Leo were all decked in tuxedos as groomsmen. There was also a young male priest (sobbing) at the front as well. And oh year, there was a tall table at the front too.

The others were all seated on the seats waiting for the wedding to start. Aika, however, was seated at the church organ. This made Vivian wonder who is getting married.

The Virgo female scooted over to Sabrina, who is keeping an eye out on the crazy squad, "I am so confused."

"About what?"

"Well... this wedding basically," Vivian answered, "Who is getting married?"

"I thought you knew since you know, you are one of the bridesmaids?" Lily wondered aloud.

Vivian bit her lip. Her pupils then shrunk, "Oh NO. Don't tell me Sam and Cleo are getting married!"

Lily glanced at the Virgo female like she was out of her mind, "Ok first of all: No. It's too early. Second of all: NO, they're too young. Third of all, NO!"

"Ok, makes sense. But if it isn't them, then who is getting married?" Vivian asked.

Sabrina walked over to an empty seat with a black leather handbag resting on it. She opened the back and got out an invite before walking back to Vivian. She handed the girl the invite, "This should explain everything."

Vivian sighed and read the following invitation:

_____________________________________________________________________

Dear Ms Sabrina Conner,

Mr Delicious Donut and Ms Alyssa Brookbanks invite you to celebrate their marriage on [insert a random date on September-October 2019] at the Town Church at 2:00pm.

Please dress formally preferably representing the colours of fire (red, orange, yellow).

Please RSVP Alyssa as soon as possible

_____________________________________________________________________

"ALYSSA IS GETTING MARRIED TO A DONUT?" Vivian yelled.

"Yep." Phoebe answered, popping the 'p'.

Vivian let out a cry, "All because I told her to get married to a donut. I meant it as a joke and she took the joke."

"Cheer up Vivi," Lily reassured, "At least Alyssa is happy. Maybe she is just marrying a person named Delicious Donut"

"THAT ISN'T HELPING SINCE SHE IS GETTING MARRIED TO A DONUT."

The doors opened and Sienna skipped in holding a plate. Like the other bridesmaids, the Sagittarius female was also wearing a red dress with black heels. Vivian was about to cry, not because of Sienna- in fact, Sienna didn't make her cry. 

There standing upright on the plate was a donut with strawberry icing, wearing a bowtie.

"Groom's here!" Sienna cheered, setting the plate on the table. Vivian's eyes teared up at the sight.

"Ok, maybe that wasn't what we expected but maybe there is a delay. Maybe Alyssa someone is in a delay to attend the wedding." Lily mumbled.

"I wouldn't be so sure..." Sabrina mumbled, facing the door, "Look here she comes with Cleo and Sam."

Indeed Sabrina was right. Cleo and Sam are both walking down the wedding aisle with linked arms. Cleo had a basket of red flower petals with her and she was sprinkling them on the floor (since Alyssa couldn't afford a flower girl). Aika took this as a chance to play the wedding music.

Alyssa, however, was walking down the aisle wearing an A-line white wedding dress with white laced sleeves. The girl also had her ginger hair styled into a half bun with a cute flower crown with small white flowers. The girl also had a white veil propped on her head and had silver dangly earrings with pearls. She was also holding a bouquet of pretty red flowers. 

Vivian was about to sob after Alyssa had made her way to the front. The Aries female nodded to the priest.

"We are gathered here today for the wedding of Ms Alyssa Brookbanks and Mr Delicious Donut." 

To save time, the author decided to skip towards the important part of the wedding.

"As much I am upset that I got taken away from my family-" the priest started, glaring at the Crazy Squad-, "We should get on the wedding. Ms Brookbanks, do you take Mr Donut to be your husband?"

"I do." Alyssa smiled.

"Now Mr Donut, do you take Ms Brookbanks to be your faithful wife?"

"...." was the donut's response. For some reason, everyone but Vivian teared up.

"Those were the most beautiful words I've ever heard." the priest sobbed, "I now announce you donut and wife. You are now married. Now please return me to my family."

"No," Alyssa smirked. The priest let out a cry.

"No...." Vivian mumbled, "No, no, no, no..."

***

"NO!" Vivian screamed, sitting up from the bed.

The girl blinked in surprise and looked around the dark room. To her relief, no one was in the room when she screamed. Vivian sighed a breath of relief. 

"It's all just a dream. Thank god."

The girl rolled off her bed and walked to her luggage to grab her outfit (which was a baby blue summer dress with a braided leather brown belt, and her black leather jacket Lizzy made). The girl smiled at her selection and walked into the bathroom to get changed.

•.:°×═⭐═×°:.• (Bob, Zoe and Jay decided to have a small costume party. Bob is a cowboy. Yeehaw!)

Sabrina bit her lip as she examined her small deck of cards (which had its backs to her since the rule is to not know what your cards are) in front of her. She then narrowed her eyes after watching Aika selected the first card from her own small deck and place it on top of the (rather big) pile of cards on the table.

The two girls along with Sienna and Cleo were all playing Snap at the coffee table in the living room. Instead of spending time outside with the others, the girls decided it is a good idea to stay inside playing Snap.

Sabrina noticed Aika's card was 8 hearts. She got the first card from her pile and placed it on top of the pile noticing it was a King of Spades. The girl then nodded to Sienna, who placed down her card, 6 of diamonds.

Cleo smiled and placed her card on the pile. She then slammed her hand over the pile, "SNAP!"

The girl's card was 6 of spades. Sabrina smacked her head on the table, "AGAIN!"

"Looks like Cleo won this round for sure." Aika chuckled, watching Cleo grab the big pile and then whoop with celebration, "Again."

"She always wins. And I wanted to win.." Sabrina turned to Cleo, "How come you always win?"

Cleo just her tongue out in reply before celebrating again. Sienna and Aika chuckled when they noticed Sabrina scream in frustration.

"Brina, relax. It's just a card game." Sienna giggled.

"A card game that Cleo always wins when she is playing." Sabrina then pointed an accusing finger at Cleo, "I call cheats."

Cleo did a dramatic gasp and then pretended to tear up, "H-How could you say that? T-T-That is so rude."

"Sabrina! How dare you!" Sienna gasped in a joking way, "You made Cleo cry."

"You monster!" Aika joked. She didn't notice Sam walking into the room.

"WHO MADE CLEO CRY?" Sam yelled.

"I DIDN'T MEAN TO! DON'T GET MAD." Sabrina cried out.

"Sammy, it's ok. I was just joking around." Cleo laughed.

Sabrina and Sam exchanged glances and then turned to Cleo, "You little-"

"MORNING!" Vivian sang as she walked into the room. At the same time, Leo and Phoebe entered with Cassie the dog, all covered with mud. This made Vivian cross her arms and glared at the three, "Leo and Phoebe! You're all muddy!"

"No s*** sherlock," Sam muttered under his breath.

Leo gave an apologetic smile, "Sorry Vivi, we'll clean up." 

"Mm..." Vivian hummed, "But please take the dog outside. We don't want to get in trouble with Colin's uncle and aunt."

"You're right." Leo agreed. He then whistled to Cassie and ran out to the backyard with the dog following him. Phoebe giggled and ran upstairs to clean herself.

Vivian smiled and rolled her eyes. The girl then walked over to one of the couches and slumped backwards on it, "That was a bizarre dream."

"What are you talking about?" Sam asked the girl as he sat down next to her. The other four decided to do another Snap round.

"I had a dream about Alyssa getting married to a donut." 

"Hold on, W H A T????" Sabrina shouted putting her 5 of spades card over the 5 of hearts card.

"SNAP!" Cleo cried, slamming her hand on the table, "I win!"

"NOT AGAIN!" Sabrina groaned. She turned to Vivian, "That was a strange dream."

"It felt so real though. Though we'll see if Alyssa decides to get married to a donut or not. We'll never know." Vivian shrugged, "Anyways the costume party is happening tonight so what are you guys going to wear?"

"Can't say." the others shrugged.

"Awww, how come?"

"If we tell, it is going to spoil the costume."

"Fair enough." Vivian smiled, "Either way, I am looking forward to your costumes. I am sure they will look amazing."

The others smiled and an awkward silence followed. The silence was interrupted by Cleo, who slammed her hand on the card pile, "SNAP!"

"NOT AGAIN!"

•.:°×═⭐═×°:.• (Jay is dressed up as a jester)

It is now evening time at the farmhouse, which is the time for the costume party. All the zodiacs were all dressed up in their costumes, preparing their grand entrances. The group have already decided to have the party in the recreation room since it had a lot more space. They also ha to witness Pete and Phoebe having an argument about who has the best costume.

Lizzy smiled as she placed down rather-burnt cookies on the cooling rack. The cookies weren't the only ones Lizzy made. She had also made muffins, brownies and cake slices..... all burnt.

The Libra female was proud of her baking treats that she worked hard on. She was also proud of her prima ballerina costume for the costume party. The girl was dressed up in a white leotard, white tutu, white ballet flats and even white stockings. The girl's hair was also curled and she had a white flower crown perched on top.

Leo skipped into the room dressed up as a lion. He noticed Lizzy's treats and attempted to sneak away. Unfortunately, Lizzy found him.

"Hey Leo!" Lizzy greeted, "Want to try out my treats?"

Leo glance at the burnt treats in front of him, "Y-Y-You made these?" 

"Yep! I've made muffins, cookies, brownies and cake slices. All for the party."

"Ahaha... that's.... great!" Leo laughed, before opening the fridge, "Now where's the Sprite."

Lizzy rolled her eyes and pointed to the area where the Sprite is. Leo gave a nod towards the girl, picked up the Sprite and closed the fridge, "Thanks."

"No problem," Lizzy smiled, "Now where do I put these treats?"

"All the food is downstairs where the party is at. So you should put them there..." Leo pointed out. He then mumbled, "Not like everyone is going to enjoy them ahaha..." 

"What did you say?"

"Nothing."

"Hmmmmmm okay then..." Lizzy mumbled, "Anyways, want a treat?"

"I think I am fine," Leo murmured speedwalking away from a confused Lizzy.

•.:°×═🌟═×°:.• (Zoe is dressed up as a secret agent)

"WOOHOO! FIRST PLACE!" Alyssa cheered loudly, steering her Wii Remote.

"Awww, last place." Pete frowned.

They along with Vivian and Gilbert were playing Mariokart Wii on the TV. Cleo, Tyler and Colin were sitting down, cross-legged on the floor, playing Snap...... again. The six were all dressed up as characters from Super Mario.

Gilbert was dressed up as Mario.
Pete was dressed up as Luigi.
Alyssa is was dressed up as Daisy.
Tyler was dressed up as Yoshi.
Colin was dressed up as Toad.
Cleo was dressed up as Toadette.
And Vivian? She was dragged into being Peach (which she is disappointed about because one: she had to wear pink, two: Alyssa, Cleo and Tahlia forced her to wear the dress, and three: It would mean that Gilbert would be saving her).

Strangely, the characters Alyssa, Vivian, Gilbert and Pete are playing as is the exact same of their costumes. Alyssa is in the lead as Daisy, Vivian is second place as Peach, Gilbert is at fifth place as Mario while Pete is last as Luigi. So far everyone is on their first round, and Alyssa and Vivian are close to the finish line.

"OH NO! OH NO! BLUE SHELL! BLUE SHELL!" Alyssa cried out, hearing the blue shell alarm. At this moment, Leo snuck into the room and smirked when he saw Alyssa freaking out about the blue shell.

"At least now you feel the pain I had." Leo smiled.

"Shut up." Alyssa hissed. She cried out in frustration when the blue shell sent her character flying into the air, "NOOOOOOO!"

'Now's my chance' Vivian thought. She then made her character zoom past Alyssa's character and cross the finish line, "WHOOP! WHOOP! I WON!"

"THAT'S NOT FAIR!" Alyssa pouted. She cried out again after a red shell hit her, making Gilbert whiz past, "WHO DID THAT?"

"Oops," Gilbert muttered, hiding a giggle.

Alyssa sighed and made her character cross the finish line. She is now in fifth place, "At least it isn't last. I can't believe I am at  fifth."

"Well, now you know how I feel." Leo whistled in 'innocence'. This made Alyssa glare at him.

"At least I don't go from first place to last place every single round."

Leo did a dramatic gasp, "WHY YOU LITTLE-"

"More like YOU are the little one." Alyssa smirked flipping her ginger locks, "I'm taller."

"And I'm better."

"AND I'M AWESOME."

"AND I'M LOVABLE."

"I AM DARING."

"AND I AM MORE FABULOUS THAN YOU!"

"*gasp* MEAN!"

"FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" Colin, Tyler and Cleo chanted. Vivian however, facepalmed.

"Guys, stop fighting. Now isn't really the right time for it."

Leo and Alyssa sighed, "You're right." The two fire signs then glared at each other, "Sorry."

"That's better."

"Right," Leo muttered before a smile emerged on his face, "I love this group costume. Super Mario, I love it! Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Toad, Yoshi, Toadette..."

The male then squinted his eyes, "Wait.... someone is missing. Where's Bowser?"

"Browser?" Colin asked, confused.

"No. Bowser," Leo muttered, mentally facepalming.

"Oh."

"Hey guys," Skyler smiled walking own the staircase with Arlen. Skyler was dressed up as Bowser from Super Mario. As for Arlen, he is dressed up as...

"PRINCESS ARLENDA IS BACK!" Leo cheered.

Yep, Arlen is dressed up as a princess. The male was wearing a dark blue gown with silver high-heels, silver bangles and a silver necklace. He also wore a long blonde wavy wig with a silver tiara perched on the top. Along with the outfit was an unimpressed expression.

Tyler, Cleo and Colin walked over to Arlen and bowed, "Greetings your highness, Princess Arlenda of Weird Inventions."

"Welcome back Princess Arlenda," Vivian giggled, noticing the final race on the screen, "Long time no see."

"I didn't want to dress up as Princess Arlenda," Arlen sighed, watching the race on the TV, "But Gilbert forced me to wear it so... here I am."

"Well Alyssa forced me to be Peach since no-one else is Peach, so I feel you, bro." Vivian shrugged. She then did a fist pump, "First place! YESSSS!"

"NO!" Alyssa cried, "NO! NO! NO! IS THIS A JOKE?"

Vivian poked her tongue out cheekily. Alyssa screeched, "I CALL HACKS."

"Nope, it was a fair round, Alyssa. Fair and square." Tyler pointed out.

"Did Alyssa lose Mariokart?" Lily asked, walking down the stairs with Giselle, Cameron, Levin, Vincent and Carol. For some odd reason, all of them were dressed up as characters from the Wizard of Oz.

Giselle was dressed up as Dorothy with her long brown hair into double braids with light blue ribbons at the ends. She also wore a white and blue dress with white socks and the legendary red slippers.
Carol was dressed up as Glinda with her large silver crown, pink gown and fairy wings. She also carried a wand with her.
Lily was dressed up as the wicked witch while Levin is dressed up as the scarecrow, Cameron is dressed up as the Tin-man and Vincent was dressed up as Toto the dog.

"Woof," said Vincent (wisest set of words).

"Nice outfits you got there," Cleo smiled, "It's cute."

"Hold on, where's the Lion?" Skyler asked.

Leo snuck up behind Skyler and pounced onto him, "HERE I AM!"

Skyler did a high-pitched scream. An awkward silence followed and Skyler covered his mouth. Then everyone burst into laughter.

"That was the best scream ever!" Gilbert cracked up, "Unexpected but amazing."

"Agreed," Lily agreed after everyone has calmed down, "Anyways, who isn't in this room?"

"Alex, Tahlia, Lizzy, Sabrina, Sam, Sienna, Aika and Phoebe." Arlen answered, "I wonder what the are going to dress up as?"

"Lizzy is a ballerina. I know." Leo mumbled. At the exact time, Lizzy the beautiful ballerina walked down the stairs carrying a tray with her treats.

"Hello darlings." Lizzy greeted. The girl walked over to the food table and 'gently' slammed her tray onto the table (what did the innocent table do to you?).

"Lizzy!" Lily smiled, walking over to the table. She plastered a smile after seeing the treats, "Wow! Lizzy..... the treats look........ amazing!"

"Thanks! You wanna have one?"

Lily gulped and waved her hand declining the offer, "I'm full. Thank you though. Anyways, love your outfit!"

"Oh...." Lizzy then looked down at her outfit and smiled, "Thank you."

"Yo." Phoebe greeted, walking down the stairs dressed as- WAIT A MINUTE, WHY IS SHE DRESSED UP AS SABRINA???

"Phoebe? Um.... what are you supposed to be?" Vincent asked. 

"Dogs can't talk," Tyler pointed out. This made Vincent glare at the male.

"So can't dragons."

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~" everyone but Tyler and Vincent cried out. Tyler sighed and crossed his arms.

"But I am an exception. I am Yoshi. You are not."

Vincent nodded and muttered an inspirational word, "Woof."

"I am dressed up as Sabrina!" Phoebe answered, "I love BTS. I am tough. I am a secret-keeper. Not to mention I am a tsundere and I love conf-"

"Ahem," a female's voice coughed. Phoebe turned to find Sabrina..... DRESSED UP AS PHOEBE??? "Surely I don't sound like that."

"SABRINA! You're supposed to act cutesy!" Phoebe stomped her foot and pouted, "You promised."

Sabrina sighed. She then plastered a super-adorable smile, "HEWO!!! I AM SUPER ADORABLE AND I LOVE SHIPS!"

"That is.... super terrifying," Vincent muttered. Sabrina walked to the male and flicked him on the forehead. Vincent whimpered, "Owie."

"Who even says 'Owie' anymore?" Leo muttered.

"ME!" Vincent yelled, "I mean- woof!"

Sabrina rolled her eyes at her friends. "I.... was.... forced... into doing this."

"Can't relate." Arlen and Vivian muttered. Carol sighed and turned to the others.

"Ok, so who is left to come?" 

"Alex, Tahlia, Sam, Sienna and Aika." Cameron listed, "Where exactly are they?"

Just after Cameron had stated the words, Alex, Tahlia, Sam, Sienna and Aika walked into the room. Alex was dressed up as a magician with a maroon red cape, a white shirt and black pants. They were also wearing polished black shoes, a tall black top hat(with a maroon ribbon tied around the bottom part of the hat) and even black suspenders. They were also holding a magician's wand.

Tahlia, however,  was dressed up as a cheerleader. She wore a blue and white cheerleader dress with white sneakers and shiny blue pom-poms. The girl also tied her long brown hair into a high ponytail tied with a blue ribbon. She also applied eyeliner, mascara and lip gloss, despite the fact she isn't a fan of makeup. And oh yeah, she wore silver stud flower earrings.

Aika was dressed in a steampunk dress with black high heeled boots and a steampunk-themed hat on her head. As for Sienna, she was dressed up as an angel with large white angel wings and a gold halo headband. She wore a pretty white dress, white high heels and her black hair in a half ponytail hairstyle. As for Sam, he was dressed up as...

"SAM THE FIRE FAIRY IS BACK!" Gilbert cheered. Indeed the male is correct, Sam was wearing the same costume from the vacation costume party. Sam crossed his arms.

"I was forced into wearing this." Sam frowned, "By Cleo and Leo. I didn't want to wear this, but if I didn't wear this then it would make Leo and Cleo super sad."

"Felt that." Sabrina, Vivian and Arlen muttered.

"Woof," Vincent agreed. Those words were inspirational, seriously.

"So, is everyone here?" Lily asked, looking around the room.

"Let see... we have..." Cleo started before taking in a long breath, "Alex the magician, Alyssa as Princess Daisy, Tyler as Yoshi, Tahlia the cheerleader, Gilbert as Mario, Giselle as Dorothy, Colin as Toad, Carol as Glinda, Leo as the lion, Lily the wicked witch, Vincent as Toto the dog, Vivian as Princess Peach."

"Levin the scarecrow, Lizzy the ballerina, Skyler as Bowser, Sabrina as Phoebe, Sam the Fire Fairy, Sienna the angel, Cameron the tin-man, Cleo as Toadette, me as Princess Arlenda, Aika as a steampunk girl, Pete as Luigi and Phoebe as Sabrina." Arlen finished for the girl before getting into a fit of coughs, "You're..... welcome." 

"Thanks," Cleo coughed, "That's everyone."

"Not exactly," a male's voice chuckled. The zodiacs turned to find Mark, Madie and Molly standing at the top of the staircase. Mark was dressed up as a cowboy while Maddie was dressed up as a cat. As for Molly, the toddler was dressed up as a pink fairy with a pink tutu.

Vivian turned to the three, "You're invited to the costume party as well?"

"Well, yeah." Maddie smiled, "Colin actually informed us before you arrived."

"I mean, no one deserves to be excluded." Colin pointed out. Of course, everyone agreed with his statement.

"Anyways, our mother and father are waiting in the backyard. They reckon it is a nice place to have a party since it is a bigger space and also there is a campfire."

"Sounds like a good idea," Alex smiled, "And we can have the food in the recreation room."

"Let's go now!" Gilbert cheered, turning off the TV.

Everyone cheered and rushed out of the recreation room. They also passed Cassie the dog, who was whimpering. 

•.:°×═⭐ 🌟 ⭐═×°:.• (Bob, Zoe and Jay are all posing in their outfits)

Soon everyone is gathered at the backyard for the party.

Wait... that should be rephrased. ALMOST everyone is in the backyard for the party.

Phoebe and Tyler were both sitting down on the couch of the living room, side by side. The two were watching a boring documentary on zebras. Everyone else is in the backyard either dancing, talking or eating food.

 "Tell me why we are here again?" Phoebe muttered, hiding a yawn, "This documentary is really boring. Can we change the channel?"

"We're here because it's boring outside," Tyler answered, "Also there's nothing interesting on the other channels so this is the only thing we can watch."

"But this documentary on zebras is BORING!' Phoebe cried, sliding down dramatically. Tyler ruffled the girl's hair.

"But the camera techniques look amazing. I mean look at them!" 

"STOOOOOOP!" Phoebe huffed referring to Tyler ruffling her hair. 

Tyler poked his tongue out cheekily. "I'm not stopping. let me mess up your hair some more." He messed up Phoebe's hair again.

Phoebe gave Tyler's arm a light punch. To the Pisces girl's surprise, the Taurus male yelped and rubbed his arm, "That hurt."

"Really? But I did it lightly. Like this." the girl did another light punch on the arm.

"Owie."

"YOU TOO?" 

"I CAN'T HELP IT."

"Looks like I won't be coming around your house because you and Vincent say 'Owie'. Does Cameron say it as well?"

"No."

Phoebe sighed, "I'm coming over to your house."

Tyler smiled in response, "Yay."

"To save Cameron from the word."

"*gasp* HOW COULD YOU?" Tyler replied, ruffling Phoebe's hair.

"Can you stop messing up my hair?" 

"But it's soft."

Phoebe's mouth dropped open. "I........." She then closed it shut and huffed, "Whatever, I like it that way."

"Awww little fishy is a tsundere." 

"Stop it."

Tyler chuckled, "Can we hug to stop this argument?"

Phoebe nodded and hugged the male, "Sometimes I wonder why the others ship us."

"To be honest," Tyler smiled and stroked Phoebe's black hair, "I don't even know."

Phoebe smiled at the male. She noticed Cassie the dog stumbling into the room whimpering. Phoebe furrowed her eyebrows, "Is it just me or Cassie doesn't look well...."

Tyler bit his lip and turned to the dog. He stood up from the couch, "You're right. I'll call Colin's aunt and uncle.

Phoebe nodded and watched Tyler walk off to find Colin's aunt and uncle. The girl then walked over to the dog and kneeled down, stroking the fur, "You okay?"

Cassie the dog whimpered in reply. Phoebe stroked the dog's fur again, "Shh... it's ok."

Soon Tyler came back with Mr and Mrs Taylor. Both adults noticed the dog whimpering and told Tyler and Phoebe to wait in the living room while they take the dog to the vet in the town nearby. Soon the adult duo and the dog left, leaving a worried Tyler and Phoebe behind in the silent living room.

Several minutes later, the telephone rang. Tyler walked up to the phone and answered it, "Hello. This is Tyler speaking."

"Hey Tyler. It's me Mrs Taylor." came the other line, "Is Phoebe still in the room? And can you put the phone on speaker?"

"Yes and sure," Tyler replied putting the phone on speaker. The male gestured the girl to walk over.

"What's going on?" Phoebe mouthed.

"Tyler, Phoebe," Mrs Taylor said from the phone, "We have news. Big news."

•.:°×═⭐═×°:.•

[SOON]

"GUYS! GUYS!" Phoebe cried, running into the party, "PUPPIES. PUPPIES. PUPPIES!"

"Eh? What?" Levin asked turning to the girl. Everyone else stopped what they were doing and turned to the girl.

"THERE'S PUPPIES." Phoebe gasped, "CUTE PUPPIES."

"PUPPIES?" Tahlia asked excitedly, "WHERE? WHERE? WHERE?"

"They're not in here," Tyler chuckled, walking to the group, "They're at the vet with Cassie the dog, Mrs Taylor and Mr Taylor."

"AND I WANT TO KEEP A PUPPY," Phoebe announced. Sabrina sighed and put a hand on Phoebe's shoulder.

"Not the new puppies though. They are still very young and need to spend time with their parents," Sabrina pointed out, "We can get you a puppy from the animal shelter or the pet shop if you want."

Phoebe nodded slowly, "When I get a puppy, I am gonna name it Mochi." (Totally didn't get inspired by my Aquarius friend's dog.) The girl then continued, "If we get three more puppies I am gonna name them Sushi, Sprinkles and Macaron."

"Those are cute names," Levin smiled, "But I am still confused on the puppies and the sheepdog, Cassie."

"Don't you remember? We  told you that Cassie is expecting a litter." Maddie sighed.

"When did you say that?" 

"On the day you came here during the tour..."

"Oh... right."

Maddie facepalmed in response. The others burst into laughter.

"As much as puppies sound adorable and I am happy that there are puppies," Lily stated before clasping her hands, "But let's do something else."

"Yes," Lizz nodded in agreement, "Let's have my treats!"

The others' eyes widened after Lizzy mentioned about her treats. Neither of them wanted to try them out because... they looked burnt.

"How about we dance along to some music on Aika's phone?" Sam suggested. The others nodded in agreement. Lizzy, however, just shrugged.

"That works as well."

"It does. I'll put some music on right now." Aika then blasted music on her phone and everyone danced the night away. Even though the next day is the end of their countryside vacation, the party was a thing the zodiacs would never forget.

•.:°×═⭐═×°:.•

I am already exhausted...
