I decided to publish this chapter during a bit of spare time from revising. Also, how many of you are entering the contest? I just need to see how many people are keen on the idea.

Speaking of contests, how are the entries so far? Who is taking part? Just remember to remind me in PMs to check your entry here on Wattpad.

HAPPY SUPER LATE HALLOWEEN! I did promise that there will be a Halloween special. Apologies for it being so late. School is stressful, especially with exams coming up. I want to thank you guys for the patience.

Before we get to the chapter, each of the characters are doing paired costumes, meaning each zodiac has a different costume theme.

In a simpler context:

Alex & Alyssa (Aries)- Futuristic

Tyler & Tahlia  (Taurus)- Steampunk

Gilbert & Giselle (Gemini)- Zookeepers

Colin & Carol (Cancer)- Sports theme (basically a football player and a cheerleader)

Leo & Lily (Leo)- Ringmasters

Vincent & Vivian (Virgo)- Royalty (basically a prince and princess..... evil version that is)

Levin & Lizzy (Libra)- Angel (for Lizzy)/ Devil (for Levin)

Skyler & Sabrina (Scorpio)- Vampires

Sam & Sienna (Sagittarius)- Superheroes

Cameron & Cleo (Capricorn)- Secret agents

Arlen & Aika (Aquarius)- Wizard (for Arlen)/ Witch (for Aika)

Pete & Phoebe (Pisces)- Mermaids

Hope you guys enjoy the Halloween special!

•.:°×═⭐═×°:.• (Bob is dressed up as a zombie for Halloween. Spooky~!)

It was a dark and stormy night. Storm clouds raced past in the night sky, thunder boomed loudly and lightning flashed across the sky. Everyone was in their dark houses with no light and no wi-fi.

Just kidding, it's not stormy, and everyone is not in their houses.... and the lights and wi-fi are safe, don't worry. Everyone in the town (including the residents of Zodiac Street) were all at the park for the Halloween Party.

Everyone was either dancing to Aika playing music at the DJ booth, apple bobbing, admiring the jack-o-lanterns, having food or talking among each other. The park and town were decorated in Halloween decorations and everyone admired the full moon in the clear night sky.

Tyler and Tahlia were both sitting down on a park bench. They were both dressed in their steampunk-themed outfits with their steampunk-themed hats and steampunk themed boots. Sabrina was also with them, wearing her vampire dress. The three were silently looking around the park admiring the many different types of outfits.

"You know, your town is unique," Sabrina pointed out, "Having a Halloween party where everyone is invited in costume.  Does it happen every year?"

"Yep." Tahlia nodded back with a smile, "Every year everyone comes to the park in costume and do activities like dancing, jack-o-lantern admiring,  treat-or-treating."

"Halloween Costume Contest," Tyler added, noticing a person dressed up as a ghost chasing Gilbert, Pete and Colin. Alyssa was chasing after the ghost while Sienna was skipping behind them. "Can't forget about that."

"Right, can't forget about the star of the show." Tahlia chuckled.

Sabrina raised an eyebrow, "Halloween Costume Contest?"

"Yeah, " Tahlia chuckled, "Every year the contest judges group costumes. Anyone can join; kids, teenagers, adults, elderly, toddlers... Of course, Lila and her group ALWAYS win."

"The judging panel consists of the mayor and two selected adults in the working committee." Tyler explained, "Lila winning is a bit biased since she is the mayor's daughter."

"Biased? More like unfair!" Sabrina yelled. She then got into a whisper, "Do you guys complete for the contest?"

"Used to. We always come second." Tyler answered.

"Our last attempt was sailors." Tahlia chuckled.

"Oh no. I can imagine what happened."  Sabrina gasped.

"To be honest... nothing bad happened. Alyssa got mad that Lila won again as a Fairy Godmother. To be honest, we were all pretty mad." Tahlia explained. The girl then noticed 12 little kids dressed up as the Chinese zodiac, "Oooh, these kids are creative. Chinese zodiac!"

"Huh?" Tyler asked softly, "Chinese zodiac?"

"Don't you remember? Every Chinese New Year celebration, it celebrates a Chinese zodiac. They go in this order: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig."

"HOLD UP. I thought it is Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, SHEEP, Monkey, CHICKEN, Dog and Pig."

"You disgust me Tyler. It's GOAT and ROOSTER. NOT SHEEP AND CHICKEN!"

"Are you guys going try out for this Halloween's Costume Contest?" Sabrina asked the other two, stopping the argument. Tyler and Tahlia shrugged their shoulders in response.

"Maybe, maybe not. From the looks of it, maybe not." Tyler replied.

"And risk witnessing Lila winning again?" Sabrina hissed. She stood and paced back and forth, "There's still time to do a group costume. We can just get animal onesies and viola!"

"But having an animal onesie won't make us go to first place," Tyler shook his head, "It'll make us go last."

"Hm... you're right." Sabrina bit her lip, "Looks like we can't take part."

"Or maybe..... we can," a male's voice called out.

Tahlia, Tyler and Sabrina turned to find Arlen walking over to them. Arlen was dressed up as a wizard in a dark blue wizard's robe with silver stars with a hoodie and black shoes. He was also carrying a box..... a closed large cardboard box.

Tyler crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow, "How? It's impossible."

Arlen smiled, "Allow me to explain... lately I was thinking about the costume contest and I have something in this box that will help us.

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

Giselle (dressed as a female zookeeper), Carol (dressed as a cheerleader in a white and red outfit), Lily (dressed as a female ringmaster) and Lizzy(dressed as a pretty angel) were sitting on a bench together having Halloween themed cookies. The girls were told by the mayor to watch over the young kids running around. Leo  (dressed as a male ringmaster) was told to take care of the kids as well, but instead of sitting on the bench with the girls, he decided to join in the fun with playing with the children.

"You know, I never knew babysitting is super fun," Carol smiled. She took a bite from her Halloween cookie and swallowed it, "Especially when you have to sit back and watch kids play and chase Leo."

"But we would make terrible babysitters," Giselle pointed out, "Only Leo is doing babysitting."

The four girls turned to Leo who was being chased by the Chinese zodiac costumed kids. One of the kids was Lucas, dressed up as a dragon.

"HOLD ON, KIDS. WE ARE FRIENDS HERE!" Leo laughed. He ended up getting pounced on by the children.

"RAWR!" Lucas the fabulous dragon giggled. The other children made noises that represent their costume.

"Rawr to you too. Whenever you guys do, DON'T tickle me-" Leo ended up getting tickled by the little kids, "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA THAT TICKLES! STOP IT! I HATE YOU GUYS FOR THIS!"

"Really?" Lucas frowned. He ended up doing puppy dog eyes.

Leo's eyebrows furrowed sadly, "I'm sorry. I am just not a big fan of tickles. But... if you guys want tickles..."

"TICKLE TIME!" a young girl dressed as a goat declared. The children tickled Leo again.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAH! IT TICKLES! AHAHAHA!!!"

"Leo? Do you need any help with the children?" Lily called out to the male. Leo made a shaky thumbs down in response. He then cracked up into laughter again.

"I am sure he doesn't," a woman's voice smiled. The four zodiac girls turned to find Ms Florence dressed up as a flower fairy with a pretty flower crown. The girls noticed the teacher's hair was longer than usual. The teacher smiled at her four students, "He's Leo after all."

"Ms Florence, great to see you at the Halloween Party." Lily smiled, "Nice outfit."

"It is my and Lucas' first Halloween Party here, so I need to look my best," Ms Florence then smiled, "I love your outfits."

"Thank you." Carol answered for the others, "It's my, Sabrina and Phoebe's first time celebrating Halloween with the town, so we can be newbies together."

Ms Florence smiled, "That would be great."

"Fiona." a male's voice called out.

The girls turned to find a man, around Ms Florence's age, with black hair and blue eyes. The male was also dressed up as a werewolf. Ms Florence's eyes twinkled with delight.

"Orlando! Hey!" Ms Florence waved (I know, it's a place name.. but I wanted a male side character starting with O, so... yeah. Thanks to ZodiacVlogs with helping with the name). The teacher turned to the four zodiacs girls, "I believe you haven't met Orlando."

"Isn't that a place?"Lily asked.

"Well, yes." the man replied, "It's surprising Fiona here has not told you four about me." Ms Florence's eyes widened and she whispered something into Orlando's ear. Orlando turned to her, "What? I thought you told them?"

"Well, I might say it now..." Ms Florence whispered.

"What are you hiding Ms Florence?" Lizzy asked.

Ms Florence turned to the girls and awkwardly laughed, "I forgot to mention that Orlando here is my fiancé. We have been dating for a while and I never spoke about it."

"I'm also the new guidance counsellor." Orlando pointed out. Lizzy turned to the male in surprise.

"New? What happened to the old one?" the girl asked, putting her hands on her hips.

"Let's just say, she found herself a spot at another school."

"Oh. Well, it's exciting to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too."

"Ms Florence? How come you never told us about any of this? Does Lucas know?" Carol interrupted. Ms Florence nodded her head.

"He thought Orlando here is a friend until I told him the truth." Ms Florence replied, "I never told anyone because I am scared of judgement."

"But no one judged." Giselle pointed out.

"Yeah... it's stupid of me to not tell you." Ms Florence frowned.

"When is the wedding exactly?" Lizzy asked.

"DID SOMEONE SAY WEDDING?" Sienna asked popping out from behind the bench. Lily screamed and then glared at the girl.

"WERE YOU EAVESDROPPING???" Lily asked.

"No! I mean yes! I mean Gilbert hid so I hid as well to get away from the ghost."

"What ghost?" Lily then noticed a person dressed up as a ghost next to Sienna slowly emerging from behind the bench, "That ghost?"

"Yes, that ghost next to me. Wait a minute." Sienna turned to the ghost. Wait..... what?

"BOO!" said the ghost.

"AAAAAAH!" Sienna screamed and ran away. The ghost chased after the girl. Everyone else facepalmed.

"Anyways, before we got rudely interrupted. When is the wedding?" Carol asked.

"It's coming soon, we'll let you guys know by an invite." Ms Florence replied, noticing Sienna and Gilbert being chased by the ghost.

"Yep," Orlando added, "Do you happen to know where the food is? I'm hungry."

"I'll lead you." Lizzy smiled.

"Thank you for the offer," Orlando smile, "I need to eat before being on the judging panel."

"Let me guess, you're judging for the contest?"

"Me and Ms Florence are judging along with the mayor. But it'll be greatly appreciated."

"Alright," Lizzy smiled, "Who else wants to join?

"We'll join!" Giselle and Lily declared. Everyone turned to Carol.

"I'll stay here and watch over the kids." the ginger-haired girl replied.

The others exchanged glances before nodding. They then waved goodbye to Carol before they left to grab food. Carol smiled and sat back on the bench, watching over the kids. She also looked over the other zodiacs doing activities:

Gilbert, Pete, Colin and Sienna were still being chased by the ghost.
Alyssa was chasing after the ghost.
Aika was playing music on the DJ booth.
Sabrina, Arlen, Tahlia and Tyler were having a conversation.
Lizzy, Giselle, Lily just arrived at the food table with Ms Florence and Orlando.
Leo was still getting tickled by the little kids.
Vincent, Vivian, Cleo and Sam are admiring the pumpkins.
Alex, Levin and Phoebe are doing apple bobbing.
As for Skyler and Cameron, they were filming the ghost chase.

Skyler noticed Carol watching and waved to her. Carol waved back with a smile. It was a great Halloween party for her. Until...

"Carol, fancy seeing you here." a smug male's voice said.

Carol jumped and turned to find a familiar male with sandy blonde hair dressed up as an astronaut. Carol frowned, "Fancy seeing you here as well, Joel."

•.:°×═⭐═×°:.• (Zoe is dressed up as female pirate)

"Carol, Carol, Carol." Joel chuckled, "It's funny how I see my ex-girlfriend here. Wait- I mean ex-ex-girlfriend."

"What are you doing here Joel?" Carol snarled at the male, "Why are you here?"

"Oh, Carol. I used to remember you back when we used to da-"

"JUST GET TO THE POINT JOEL!" Carol yelled, "Are you here to get us back together. Cause I won't."

"Get back together? Oh no no no, " Joel muttered, "I have a girlfriend here."

"AND WHO IS YOUR GIRLFRIEND?" Carol yelled. She got interrupted by a shrill voice that came from Lila.

"JOELLLLL! Babe, where are you?"

Lila, who like Joel was dressed up as an astronaut, walked up to Joel and hugged him. She then noticed Carol and scrunched her nose in disgust, "Ew, what's with the outfit? It's Halloween, not a costume party."

"Hello to you too Lila." Carol muttered, rolling her eyes, "I never knew that Joel is your boyfriend."

"Well, he is and he would be the most honest and loyal boyfriend I will ever have!" the blonde-haired girl then gave a glare, "Are you trying to make my babe cheat on me?!"

"First of all: I am loyal to my boyfriend, thank you very much. Second of all; I WOULD NEVER CHEAT."

"I heard cheating, what is going on?' Skyler asked, walking over to the group.

"Skyler, my ex-boyfriend is back. And Lila is dating him." Carol whispered to Skyler. Skyler blinked in surprise.

"There's nothing wrong with that. That means Lila won't bother us too much."

"But it means that Joel would follow me."

"Um, we know we are right here listening to you?" Lila pointed out. Skyler and Carol turned to the girl.

"We know." the couple replied. They were interrupted by the sound of the mayor.

"May I please have your attention?" the mayor asked. After all, eyes were set on him, "Thank you. The Halloween Costume Contest is still under preparation but there is an exciting activity for those daring ones in here. We have a haunted house activity set up here being supervised by one of the teachers at Astro High. So for those keen for exploring the haunted house, please head there now. There's also trick-or-treating open for those who don't like haunted houses or just want candy."

"CANDY!" Leo and the little children screamed as they ran away. Skyler facepalmed.

"Haunted House!" Lila clasped her hands. She then clung onto Joel's arm and dragged him away, "Come on honeykins let's attend the haunted house."

"I think I am gonna puke when I hear those nicknames," Skyler muttered. He then turned to Carol, "Shall we visit the haunted house? Fits right into the spooky spirit."

Carol nodded, "Sure don't hurt to try."

•.:°×═⭐ 🌟 ⭐═×°:.• (Bob, Zoe and Jay are trick-or-treating.)

Levin bit his lip as he looked around while walking through the haunted house. He wasn't the only one though.

The other zodiacs (except Sienna, Cleo, Colin, Leo and Phoebe who are trick-or-treating with the kids) along with Lila and her squad were all in the haunted house together for the challenge Ms Bumblebert, the supervisor of the haunted house, had set up.

The challenge is to stay in the haunted house for an hour without getting scared and ran away from the volunteers who will do the scaring. Everyone was determined they were going to win.....well except Levin. The boy was walking with the group looking around for anything spooky. He noticed Arlen still his b o x.

"I don't see anything scary here," Alyssa pointed out, "This isn't a haunted house. It's a house."

"Don't make assumptions." Vivian scolded her friends as she gave Alyssa a sharp nudge. Of course, Alyssa yelped and muttered 'Owie'. "Something spooky can pop out at any moment."

"Well from the looks of it, nothing spooky has come out, so Ms Bumblebutt has been trying her best."

Vivian sighed, "Come on guys, Diane isn't a bad person."

"Diane?" Tyler asked.

"Ms Bumblebert."

"I think you mean Bumblebutt." Luna pointed out. Her friend Lacey laughed while Sienna gasped at the two.

"You call her that as well?"

"I mean that teacher hates us, so we give her that nickname."

"We may hate you but we have something in common."

"I don't understand why you guys hate her." Vivian mumbled, "She is only doing her job."

"But she hates us!" Leo pointed out, "Like while we are being innocent, she gives a mean glare. And the amount of homework she gives!"

"But she's just doing her jo-' Vivian then gave a small shriek after hearing a ghostly voice from the distance.

"Homework sucks~!"

"Leslie-" another voice sighed.

"THESE KIDS ARE VERY NAUGHTY NAUGHTY." said another voice.

"WHAT?"

"I don't know who said that but they're my friend already." Alyssa chuckled.

"YAY I HAVE A FRIEND!"

"Whoever this 'Leslie' is I am not impressed. Who is she exactly?" Lila rolled her eyes in oblivion. She later screamed when a female dressed up as a (Christmas tree)werewolf popped out of nowhere.

"That would be me!"

"WEREWOLF! WEREWOLF! GET OUT GET OUT!" Lila screamed running away. Joel, Luna and Lacey later screamed and followed after the girl.

The zodiacs and Leslie blinked in surprise. Leslie then cracked up into laughter, "Wow, they're chickens. And I am a Christmas tree werewolf for your information."

"For once I agree with Leslie." Sam chuckled. He then sighed, "I wonder how the others are going.."

•.:°×═⭐═×°:.• (Bob has got lots of candy from trick-or-treating. Also the Leslie person is one of my friends, also an inspiration for writing  angelscoffee )

*KNOCK KNOCK*

"TRICK OR TREAT!" Cleo, Lucas and the other kids dressed as the Chinese zodiac sang doing puppy dog eyes as they held up their candy buckets.

They were at the doorstep of an elderly lady's house. Sienna, Colin, Phoebe and Leo were also at the area, watching from the distance carrying their candy buckets The five zodiacs, unlike the younger children, were having a contest to gather the most candy. Whoever runs to the next house the quickest, gets candy. At the end of the Trick or Treat round, the five must count up the candy. The winner gets to boss around the others for two days.

The owner of the house, an elderly woman who was already holding a bucket full of candy and chocolate, smiled at the presence of Cleo and the younger kids, "Ah! What do we have here? The Chinese zodiac and an agent?"

"Secret agent." Cleo corrected, puffing her chest out in pride. The woman chuckled.

"Right, right. Secret agent. You all don't deserve tricks you cuties pies." the woman then handed the kids and Cleo candy, "Here have some treats. Happy Halloween!"

"THANK YOU!!!!" the children and Cleo chimed, walking away from the house. While the other children made their way to the next house, Cleo joined her friends. At this moment, Leo decided to join the other kids for the next house.

"Another bunch of candies for my candy collection." Cleo smiled, "That I am going to have for myself."

"At least save some for your sister!" Sienna laughed, "You and Leo have a lot of candy, I think it is best to share with your element." Cleo looked own at her candy bucket and nodded.

"Fair enough. Now, what's the leaderboard?"

"Let's see.... you and Leo are tied at first place. I am second, Sienna is third and Colin is last." Phoebe stated. She smiled as she looked down at her candy collection, "I am going to share my candy with Tyler, Lily, Levin, Sabrina and Carol!"

"I am going to share mine with Alyssa, Aika, Giselle, Vincent and Arlen," Sienna added.

"I am sharing mine with Pete and Skyler, even though it is less than yours."

"I think Colin should share his candy with himself. Leo and Cleo, however, have to share." Phoebe nodded. Cleo and Leo (who had just arrived) sighed exasperatedly.

"Do we have to?" Leo the  nodded as he understood the situation, "Alright, who needs sharing?"

"Let's see;  Alex, Tahlia, Gilbert, Vivian, Lizzy, Skyler, Sam, Cameron and Pete." Phoebe listed, "You're welcome."

"Ok, I can share my large bunch of candy with Alex, Gilbert, Skyler, Cameron and Pete," Leo stated.

"And I'll share mine with Tahlia, Vivian, Lizzy and Sam." Cleo smiled. Leo turned to the female.

"NO FAIR. I GET TO SHARE WITH MORE PEOPLE????"

"I AM NOT THAT CLOSE WITH THEM."

"BUT STILL."

"Haha, guys! I am beating you to the next house!" Colin called out, speed-walking away to the next house the kids are heading to. Leo and Cleo did a dramatic gasp.

"NOOOO!" they cried, running towards the Cancer male. Phoebe and Sienna exchanged glances before bursting into laughter. The girls then walked at a steady pace.

"I never knew they are super competitive about candy." Phoebe laughed.

"Well, now you know. Candy is candy, and everyone loves candy." Sienna smiled, "It's a shame the others couldn't join us. I wonder what the haunted house is like for them..."

"They are probably scared or screaming," Phoebe answered, "But I doubt that."

•.:°×═⭐═×°:.• (I can't stop listening to Story That Won't End by Stray Kids)

[SOON AFTER THE HAUNTED HOUSE]

"You know what? That haunted house wasn't even scary," Alyssa muttered. She then had a wide grin stretched across her face, "BUUUUUUUT it was super fun."

"I know right?" Lily giggled, "I mean instead of screaming, there was a lot of laughing. The haunted house volunteers were super nice!" The girl then  got out and examined the selfies she took at the haunted house, "I mean, these photos explained everything."

Gilbert looked over Lily's shoulder at the photos, "There's a picture of a tea party, Sam unimpressed, crazy selfies... yeah they explain everything."

Everyone else laughed light-heartedly. They were interrupted by an announcement from the mayor.

"Attention everyone! The Halloween Costume Contest is coming up hosted by Diane Bumblebertwho had just arrived from the haunted house. Anyone who is taking part, please prepare yourselves for an exciting round!"

A cheer later erupted. The zodiacs all sighed.

"It's a pity we can't take part..." Giselle frowned, "I mean we are all dressed up differently."

"Who says you can't take part?" Arlen asked opening his box. Inside the box, there were wrapped labelled gifts that looked like they have clothing inside, "I have brought outfits for everyone. There are also accessories in this box but I'll give you guys them."

"Arlen..." Gilbert smirked holding up a present labelled 'Gilberta', "It's Halloween, not Christmas. Christmas doesn't come until like December."

"And on Cleo's birthday as well." Tahlia pointed out, "I must say, despite Arlen telling me, Sabrina and Tyler about this, I must say it is very kind of him to buy these outfits for everyone."

"It is. But speaking of Cleo.... she, Sienna, Phoebe, Colin and Leo have not arrived yet." Vincent pointe out.

Cameron noticed five people walking over with buckets of candy, waving. The Capricorn male waved back and nudged Vincent hardly on the arm. Vincent yelped and clutched onto his arm, "Bro-"

"You were saying? Cleo and the others are right there."Cameron simpered, pointing over to the five people.

He was right though. Cleo, Sienna, Colin, Phoebe and Leo walked over to the group. When the five zodiacs noticed everyone staring at them, the five gave oblivious looks, "What?"

"We'll explain later. Arlen, you should hand us the presents now," Sabrina answered. Arlen nodded and handed everyone their 'gifts'. Phoebe, Colin, Cleo, Leo and Sienna gave the others confused looks.

"What's going on?" Leo asked confused.

"As Sabrina stated before," Gilbert then placed a hand on Leo's shoulder, "We'll explain later. But we need to get changed."

"Gilbert's right. Let's go search for the park public bathrooms." Lizzy nodded. Leo just blinked in confusion.

"H u h?????"

•.:°×═⭐═×°:.• (Bob is ready for the Costume Contest)

[SOON]

Soon it is time for the Costume Contest..... well actually, the contest was almost finished. The contest was held at the main sector of the park on a stage. It had just showed Lila's group dressed up as an Outer Space theme (with a random ghost costume), the Chinese zodiac kid group as well as various others. The judges, Orlando, Ms Florence and the mayor were judging. The host, however, was Ms Bumblebert.

The zodiacs have not arrived at the costume contest yet.

"Alright, thank you guys for showing your...... scary-cute animals-related outfit." Ms Bumblebert nodded towards a group of four teenagers dressed up as...... spooky versions of cute animals. Ok, just why.

The four teenagers snickered and hopped off the stage leaving Ms Bumblebert rolling her eyes with a sigh. The teacher then checked around the park for new entries, "Looks like that's all the participants."

"Huh." the mayor muttered admiring the grass for  some reason, "I expected another group."

"What group?" Ms Florence asked the mayor. The mayor sighed and turned to the stage.

"Normally the residents of Zodiac Street take part in the contest, but they haven't showcased yet."

"Well that's their problem for not participating," Ms Bumblebert muttered. She noticed Ms Florence and Orlando glaring at her, "What?"

"Maybe they chose not to take part as much as I enjoyed their entries." the mayor frowned, "Alright let's get to the winners."

"WAIT!!!!" a voice screamed. Everyone turned to find Vivian and Vincent panting. the judges noticed Vivian was wearing a white dress with matching white shoes, a white flower crown and white angel wings on her back. Vincent was wearing the same white flower crown and white angel wings, but he was wearing a white suit.

"Care........ for...... one more...... entry?" Vincent then did an exhausted gasp.

The judges exchanged glances and nodded. Ms Bumblebert then cleared her throat, "What is your entry called?"

"Zodiac." the two Virgos replied.

"That's a theme?"

"Sounds like an intriguing theme. Take it away." the mayor nodded. Vivian nodded and texted the others on her phone.

A few minutes later the other zodiacs arrived, dressed up as their representative zodiac. the judges notice there were rams, bulls, crabs, lions, those gold outfits with balance scales, scorpions, archers, (sea)goats, water bearers and fishes. They also noticed Gilbert and Giselle dressed up as twins wearing jumpers: Gilbert was wearing a pink jumper with a blue sad face while Giselle wore a blue sweater with a pink happy face. The judges also assumed Vincent and Vivian were representing their signs.

"This sweater sucks," Gilbert whispered to Giselle.

"Quit complaining, it looks good on you." the Gemini female replied.

The judges and applauded and then had a conversation with each other. After communicating, the three judges turned to Ms Bumblebert and noded. Ms Bumblebert sighed.

"Alright, thank you guys for those lovely costumes. Now the mayor would announce the placements of the contest."

Everyone applauded when the mayor stood up from his seat. The mayor waved to everyone, "This is a very very hard round. Everyone was dressed up in their very best costumes so as I stated before it would be hard. But now the placements."

The mayor listed all the placements from last all the way to fourth place. Now only three teams remain; Lila's team, the zodiacs and Lucas' team.

"Now onto third place." the mayor smiled, "Third place goes to Outer Space."

"HA! Lila is in third place." Alyssa whispered. Vivian nudged the girl. The zodiacs noticed Lila was about to blow up into anger.

"Second place goes to the zodiacs." the mayor smiled, "Which leaves first place to the Chinese zodiac! Congratulations little ones!"

There was a round of applause from everyone else. The only people who weren't cheering were Lila and Joel.

"WE  LOST?!?" the girl cried stomping her foot on the ground. Alyssa gave the girl a smirk.

"Technically you're the third place, but now you  have a taste of what we felt with you."

Lila's mouth dropped open to the size of a large 'O'. The girl then huffed and stormed away dragging her group with her. The zodiacs noticed Luna and Lacey looking back and giving the group a thumbs up. What good sportsmanship.

The others zodiacs smiled and chuckled at Lila's tantrum. Tahlia, however, gave a polite nod and stared up at the sky. Cameron noticed and did the same thing.

"Why are you staring up at the sky? Lila's third. And we're second."

At this moment Tahlia noticed her friends staring at her. The Taurus female smiled, "I know that Lila is third and I know that we are second. But it doesn't matter. In the end, we all had fun, right? That's what matters the most."

"You're right about that."Alex agreed, "And to be honest, I want to have some more fun. What should we do?"

"How about we visit that amazing haunted house again?" Tyler asked. Phoebe whimpered and hid behind the male.

"But won't it be scary?"

"This one isn't," Lily smiled, "Come on. Let's pay a visit to the haunted house, cause why not?'

•.:°×═⭐═×°:.•

I don't feel so proud with this special, so apologies if you didn't like it and apologies again if it came super late.
