Merry late Christmas everyone! I hope you enjoy this Christmas Eve special  :)

Also fun fact: Zodiac Street was made on 24th December 2018. That means the book is officially a year old. Again, Merry Christmas everyone!

This chapter may be long, so hope you enjoy it! Also apologies of if this is published late. This chapter took a while to write out, plus I have no idea what to write for this special.

•.:°×═⭐ 🌟 ⭐═×°:.• ("MERRY CHRISTMAS!" cheered Bob, Zoe and Jay)

'Twas the night before Christmas Day (well... not necessarily night, more like a sunset) and Phoebe peeked through the window of House 8's living room. She then gasped when she caught a glimpse of the beautiful sunset set out in front of her.

But that isn't the reason why she is near the window. The girl was also waiting for her other friends to arrive. They were all going to have a Christmas Eve slumber party together.

But Phoebe wasn't the only one in the living room all the Water signs were spending time together in the living room waiting for their friends to arrive. Skyler and Carol were sitting next to each other, snuggled up while Sabrina was sitting further away from them, watching a show on her phone. Colin was sleeping next to Pete, resting his head on the Pisces male's shoulder. As for Pete, he was petting his two dogs, Cookie and Brownie, who were both brought into the house wearing reindeer costumes to celebrate Christmas. Everyone was wearing blue Christmas sweaters (that Leo had kindly brought for them and ordered them to wear, which they did).

"Where are the others?" Phoebe called out impatiently from the window, "They are taking forever!"

"Give them time. They'll eventually come." Sabrina called out, "There's still lots of time."

Phoebe pouted and nodded back in response. The girl then walked over to the other waters signs and sat down next to Sabrina. That's when the doorbell rang.

"I'LL GET IT!" Phoebe cried out like a young child. 

The other water signs chuckled as they watched the Pisces female dash to the front door. Phoebe opened the door excitedly hoping to see a certain someone.

But the certain someone wasn't there, instead there stood the air signs holding presents either wrapped or in bags. Like the water signs, the air signs were also wearing Christmas jumpers but in white colours instead. They have also brought along Gimmer (dressed up as an elf) and Steve (who was dressed up as a Christmas tree).

Phoebe's face fell immediately.

"Disappointed to see us, Phoebe?" Lizzy chuckled.

"No, no. Just I was hoping to see a certain someone." Phoebe replied with a smiled. She then gestured the air signs inside the house towards the living room, "Come inside."

The air signs smiled and walked inside the house into the living room. They greeted the water signs on the couch and noticed Sabrina walking over to Gilbert and hugging him. 

Phoebe closed the door and waited patiently near the front door, tapping her foot against the hardwood floor. Sabrina noticed this and chuckled.

"They'll come," Sabrina reassured, "Just be patient Phoebe."

"Um, who is Phoebe waiting for?"Arlen asked, noticingPhoebe waiting near the door.

"She's waiting for her prince charming," Sabrina laughed, "Tyler."

Phoebe whipped her head towards Sabrina and her face  turned pink, "He's not my prince charming!"

"You are such a liar!"Sabrina walked over to the blushing girl, "Your blushing face says otherwise. And I remember you and Tyler gave each other goo-goo eyes that one time."

"Did they really?!" Giselle gasped. Carol shook her head laughed.

"She's joking about the last part. Though, it feels like it will happen eventually."

Phoebe blushed even more, "I never gave Tyler goo-goo eyes! Plus I am not blushing!"

"Oh really? Why is your face red?"

"I-well...ugh. Shut up Sabrina."

"Phoebe, all I ever did was point out your blushing face."

"I was blushing at an embarrassing memory!" Phoebe made upon the spot, "Where I fell over while I was skating."

"I can tell that was a lie because you are good at skating."

"Doesn't mean I can't fall," Phoebe answered in a snap.

"Ladies, let's tone down the argument here," Skyler interrupted, "It's the day of Christmas Eve! Tomorrow is Christmas and you two shouldn't be fighting."

Sabrina and Phoebe nodded in response and an awkward silence followed. It was interrupted by the doorbell. Phoebe swung open the front door and gasped. "YOU GUYS ARE FINALLY HERE!"

"Who's there Phoebe?" Carol called out.

"The fire and earth signs. Also Sweety and Mischief but Vincent isn't there." Phoebe replied gesturing the fire and earth signs in. Like the air signs, the fire and earth signs were carrying gifts for Secret Santa. The fire signs were wearing red Christmas jumpers while the earth signs wore green Christmas jumpers. As for Sweety and Mischief, Sweety was wearing a small Santa hat while Mischief was dressed up as an elf.

"Did we happen to come late?" Tahlia  asked, "If we did, we are extremely sorry  about that."

"No, you're not late. Phoebe is just waiting for you guys especially Tyler since she loves him." Sabrina grinned mischievously. Phoebe glared at the Scorpio female.

"I-I don't like him! He's only my best friend!"

"Sam and Cleo were best friends. Now look at them."

"You don't like me?" Tyler asked. He then did a dramatic pose, "Guess I'm too hot for Phoebe to talk to."

"Are you okay?" Alex asked the Taurus male.

"I don't know. Am I?"

"Hey guys, where's Vincent?" Carol inquired, tilting her head to the side.

"He had to drop something off at Ms Florence's place," Vivian replied, "Where do we put these Secret Santa gifts?" 

"Oh, me and the other water signs placed our gifts on the kitchen counter. But you guys can place your gifts in that empty corner down there." Carol pointed out.

The air, earth and fire signs exchanged glances but placed their Secret Santa gifts at the empty corner anyways. The large group then joined the water signs on the couch. Some zodiacs sat down on the floor while some stood near the couches. After everyone has settled, everyone started chatting immediately.

That is until Colin woke up.

"I-Is Santa here?" the tired male mumbled, rubbing his eyes and looking up at Pete.

"Nope, not yet."  Pete smiled warmly,  caressing Colin's hair. Colin gazed up at Pete lovingly.

"You know, on the topic of Santa, there are 'Photos with Santa' in the mall." Levin pointed out. Lily raised an eyebrow at the male.

"Are you saying we should take photos with Santa? Won't there be little kids?"

"Well, even though there will be little kids, doesn't mean we can't take a photo with Santa."

"That's a great idea Levin! It would release the inner child within us." Vivian smiled.

"I mean, it doesn't hurt to take photos." Lily laughed. The other zodiacs agreed with her. As for the animals, they all made animal noises.

They were interrupted by the doorbell ringing again. Cameron jogged up to the front door and answered it, smiling to find Vincent standing there. Like the earth signs, Vincent is also wearing a green Christmas jumper. He was also carrying a wrapped present, "Vincent's here!"

 "Sorry I'm late, had to do something." Vincent apologised, walking into the room.

"You just missed us talking about photos with Santa. Levin suggested the idea of taking photos with Santa." Skyler recapped for Vincent.

"Really?" Vincent raised his eyebrows. The Virgo male then smiled, "I like that idea. But when do we do it?"

"Hmm..... how about now?" Carol suggested, getting up from her seat. The others turned to her.

"Wait... now?" Skyler asked.

"What about the pets?" Alyssa asked.

"I'm sure they would behave. We aren't going on holiday." Cleo answered. She then turned to the pets, "Right guys?"

The pets made animal noises back in agreement. Vivian rubbed her hands together.

"Right, that solves the problem, let's go there now."

•.:°×═⭐ 🌟 ⭐═×°:.• (Bob, Zoe and Jay got you a present each)

[SOON]

Eventually, the zodiacs did their photos with Santa. The group managed to do a large group photo as well as a photo with the fire signs together, a photo with the earth signs together, a photo with the air signs together, and one for the water signs too. 

The group also brought gifts for the pets, Lucas and Ms Florence and delivered them. They got:

- A pretty snowglobe as well as a photo frame for Ms Florence
- A Lego set for Lucas
- Squeaky dog  toys for Cookie, Brownie and Glimmer
- A wand teaser thingy with a small toy mouse tied by a string for Mischief
- A small ball for Steve
- A bird activity gym for Sweety (though Vivian complained that the activity gym would be expensive, but reluctantly brought the activity gym so Alyssa won't embarrass her).

After shopping around and giving the gifts to the right people/pet, itis time for Secret Santa. 

Since the presents were labelled with their names, everyone picked up the present that was for them and sat down in a circle in the living room in the order of their sign.

Vincent, Gilbert, Skyler, Cameron, Tahlia and Sienna have wrapped presents that were slightly smaller than a medium-sized present. Alex, Leo, Cleo, Colin, Sabrina and Phoebe have medium-sized presents. Giselle, Lily, Lizzy, Alyssa, Carol, Pete, Levin and Tyler got gifts that were in Christmas themed big gift bags. As for Aika, Arlen and Sam, however, got large wrapped presents (but not too large).

"Ok, it's finally here," Aika smiled, "Secret Santa. I can't wait to open this present."

"Hold onto your horses. We have to go one at a time." Cameron then facepalmed, "I should've have saved that for Sam and Sienna."

"Too late now." Sam and Sienna laughed.

"So, who is opening their present first?" Leo asked, eyeing his present eagerly wanting to unwrap it.

"I  mean it doesn't hurt to go first unless it is presentations so I will," Tahlia volunteered

"Hey, I have an idea! After Tahlia unwraps her present, how about we go in order. In this case, Gilbert would be next and then Giselle." Skyler suggested.

"Aww, that means I have to wait." Alyssa frowned.

"Sorry Alyssa, but I think it is a good idea." Pete pointed out. Everyone else agreed with him.

"Well, what are we waiting for. Open up your present Tahlia!" Gilbertcriedout.

Tahlia chuckled and carefully unwrapped the present and gasped when she saw what the present is...... a video camera in box packaging, "A video camera! Who gave me this?"

"Hi," Sabrina smiled raising her hand, "I know you like photography so I have a feeling you'll love making videos as well."

"Well, I certainly loved the present, thank you Sabrina. I'll film the gift unwrapping right now." Tahlia opened the box and smiled widely when she saw the video camera. After turning it on and getting used to how it works, the girl began filming, "We're on!"

"If you are from the future, hi!" Gilbert greeted. Everyone else laughed.

"Gilbert, you're next." Vivian smiled.

Gilbert nodded and ripped open the gift wrapping paper of his presents. His eyes lit up when he saw a newly released video game (you readers can picture which one), "WHOA! THIS GAME HAS BEEN SOLD OUT THREE DAYS AGO! HOW?"

"Well Gilbert, I brought you that gift, and let's say I have my ways. By getting there early." Tahlia admitted. She got interrupted by a tight hug from Gilbert.

"THANK YOU. I WAS DEVASTATED WHEN IT RAN OUT IN THE STORES."

"Y-You're.......... welcome. Now please......let me..... go."

Gilbert released Tahlia and hug and chuckled. Now it is Giselle's turn. The girl opened her gift bag and got out a black designer tote bag, "Oh?"

"Do you like it?"Tyler asked eagerly. This, of course, made Giselle raise an eyebrow at the male.

"Let me guess, you brought it."

"Yeah, shocking right? A lazy person like me buying something so expensive. I didn't know what  to give you."

"Well I like it, and I am a complicated person so that's okay."

"My turn," Colin announced before opening his present. His eyes twinkled when he saw a new art set, "Who gave this amazing art set?"

"Heehee.." Sienna raised her hand, "You can thank me later."

"THANK YOU!"

"I said later, but eh I'll take it anyways."

Next up it is Carol's turn. The girl peeked inside her gift bag and squealed when she saw a square-shaped Imagine Dragons pillow, "YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!"

"What is it? What's the present?"Skyler asked.

Carol got the pillow out of the bag and held it up for the others to see. Everyone oohed and ahhed at the pillow and stopped when Carol placed it in the gift bag.

"I'm curious now, who gave it to me?" Carol wondered aloud.

"I did," Cameron admitted, "You're welcome."

Carol gave a polite nod to Cameron, thanking him. Leo opened his present next and gasped when he saw a ukelele box. The male opened up the box and got out a ukelele, "YES! Patricia Jr is here!"

"Wow, calling my present to you 'Patricia Jr'. Wow Leo." Giselle laughed.

"He has a guitar named Patricia so I can't say I am surprised." Alex chuckled. Leo did a short strum on his ukelele and then hugged it.

"If someone buys me a guitar smaller than a ukelele, it is going to be called Patricia Jr Jr."

"And what's next? Patricia Jr Jr Jr?" Sam rolled his eyes at the male.

"Okayyyyy I think we got the point," Vivian called out, "Lily, you're next."

The zodiacs continued with the Secret Santa. Lily had got two tickets to a musical as well as a jumper for that musical from Vincent.  Vincent had got a book that he is looking forward to read from Alex. As for Vivian she had got another copy of the Brooklyn book (that she forgot) from Gilbert.

"Gilbert, you shouldn't have!" Vivian gasped at her present, "You didn't have to buy another copy."

"No no, I insist. You were so into the book, and you were upset when you lost it. So I had to get you another copy."

"That's so sweet. But I forgot where I was up to."

"And? Doesn't hurt to read again."

Vivian nodded. The zodiacs then resumed where they were up to.

Levin had got a cute sloth plushie with a journal from Pete. Lizzy, however, got some new dance clothing from Levin. This made the others confused.

"When I am stressed at home, I sometimes dance to songs." Lizzy addressed the confusion.

"Oh!" the others gasped. They then resumed with Secret Santa.

Skyler got a black mug with the words 'Leave Me Alone' on it from Colin. Everyone laughed when they saw the cup. Skyler didn't complain.

Sabrina had got dark blue and black rollerskates from Arlen. As for Sam, he got a skateboard with a fire design underneath from Skyler. The Sagittarius male gave the other male a fist bump for the skateboard.

Sienna had got a purple portable speaker from Cleo. The girl clapped her hands gleefully.

"This is amazing. I can play music anywhere I go."

"It has a connection to your phone," Cleo explained, "But you can play some Christmas music after the Secret Santa unwrapping."

"You know, that isn't such a bad idea. Thanks Cleo."

"Also make sure to play music for tomorrow. It's Cleo's birthday on that day," Sam added.

"Cleo's birthday is on Christmas! Wow, what a nice Christmas present." Sabrina gasped dramatically, "I'm joking about the Christmas present part, but that's neat that your birthday is on a holiday."

"Cameron's birthday is on new years." Vincent pointed out.

"SERIOUSLY?" Carol gasped.

"Yep!" Cameron answered, "It's like one of my other friends' friends used to say..."

"NEW YEAR NEW BABY!" everyone but Carol, Sabrina and Phoebe replied before bursting into laughter. Carol, Sabrina and Phoebe later joined in the laughter, despite being confused.

"Anyways,  it's my turn!" Cameron called out before unwrapping his present. He gasped when his present was a big book, "The Big Book of Dad Jokes!"

"NO! WHICH IDIOT BROUGHT CAM THAT?" Vincent yelled.

"Oops. How sweet of you to call me that Vinny." Lily failed to contain her laughter. She laughed even more when Vincent kept hitting his head against his book. 

He got stopped by Leo snatching the book from him, "Careful Vinny!"

"Anyways, I should open mine now," Cleo chuckled before opening her gift. The girl's eyes twinkled when she was greeted by a scrapbook with a light orange colour. At the front of the scrapbook was a group photo of the zodiacs as well as white pop up letters underneath the picture saying 'Memories'. Cleo flicked open the scrapbook and noticed half of the book was one for her., "Whoa...... who..."

Sam raised his hand, "You're welcome. You can add more memories to this scrapbook as we keep on having adventures together as a group."

Cleo was speechless, "T-Thank you... this present is amazing!"

"AWWWWWWW!" everyone but Alyssa swooned.

"EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" Alyssa countered back. She then coughed loudly, "Romance."

"Anyways, let's continue with the presents, I believe the next one is Arlen and his... huge present." Lizzy noticed the big present.

"Just wait until you see what I got for him," Vivian smiled. Of course, it made Arlen curious. The male ripped off the gift wrapping paper and raised an eyebrow to find...

"A periodic table.... table?" 

"Yep. You construct the table yourself. And the tabletop has a chart of all the elements."

"Neat, I may need help with the assembling. But overall it's a neat gift. Who'snext."

"Me," Aika answered, "And then we have Pete, Phoebe, Alex, Alyssa and Tyler."

"Have you ever got upset because you have to open your gift last?" Alyssa asked randomly.

"I have," Tyler mumbled.

"OH MY GOSH. ME TOO!" Alyssa dramatically gasped before muttering, "No s***."

"PROFANITY!" Aika screeched opening up her gift to find a portable DJ table from Carol. She smiled and thanked Carol for the present.

"Have you ever wanted to become an ostrich for some reason because ostriches are nice?" Colin asked out of nowhere.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"ME TOO!" (w h a t)

"Anyways, back to Secret Santa before this can get any weirder," Vivian muttered.

And they did. The zodiacs continued where they were left off. Pete got an animal plushie from Aika, Phoebe got a  kitty-themed sketchbook from Leo while Alex got high heeled boots from Alyssa. Everyone but the crazy squad, Lizzy and Vivian were confused why Alex got high heeled boots but decided not to question it.

Alyssa got a red sports jacket from Lizzy, which she ended up putting on for the rest of the Christmas Eve celebration. Though, Vivian advised the female it would be a bad idea since the girl was also wearing a jumper.

Finally it was Tyler's turn. Tyler stared at the gift bag he was holding. He then examined the bag from all sides.

"I believe this present is from Phoebe since she is the only one left," Pete muttered.

"Yep, it's from me," Phoebe answered quickly. The girl felt beads of sweat emerging from her forehead but didn't do anything about it.

Tyler raised an eyebrow at the female. He then opened the gift  bag and peeked into it, before looking up with teary eyes, "It's beautiful."

Tyler reached into the gift bag and got out a white teddy bear with a pink heart symbol on its tummy. Sabrina studied the teddy bear and then turned to Phoebe.

"IT HAS A HEART!" the Scorpio female exclaimed.

Phoebe blushed red, "It's not like that! It's a friend thing."

"Are you sure~?" Sabrina smirked, noticing Tyler blushing red as well.

"Sabrina, cut it OUT," Skyler ordered the girl.

"Fine.... dad." 

"He's your uncle! I'm your mom!" Vivian yelled.

"We have a really messed up family tree." Sienna smiled staring into the distance.

"Yeah, we do." Levin agreed, "Anyways, what should we do now?"

"Um...celebrate?" Cameron laughed.

"Wait before that,  there's one more present," Vincent announced. He then nodded towards Tyler before standing up, "I'll be right back."

The zodiacs nodded back and watched as Vincent walked out of the house. Minutes later, the Virgo male returned holding a large white box with a lid on top and three holes pole in each side. On top of the box with a large red ribbon. There was also a note stuck on top saying;

'Dear Cameron. Merry Christmas

- Vincent ;)'

Vincent placed the box on the coffee table. He then nodded to Cameron, who stood up and studied the box.

"For me?" the male asked the other male. Vincent nodded back. "Alright."

Cameron carefully opened the lid of the box and gasped when he saw what was inside.

There, sitting inside the box, was a small adorable puppy, a Jack Russell puppy to be exact with a red bow carefully tied around its neck. The puppy gazed up at Cameron and yipped excitedly, jumping around. Cameron scooped the puppy up in his arms and snuggled with it.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" Cameron asked excitedly.

Pete picked up the puppy from Cameron's arms and examined it, "Boy."

"HOW DO YOU KNOW?"

"Well, I have a specialty in animals," Pete replied, giving Cameron back to puppy, "I just enjoy working with them."

Cameron smiled. He then turned to Vincent, "You didn't have to do this."

"Well, you earned it anyways. You're going to have so much fun with this puppy."

"Yeah, I have a feeling I will."

"Meow!" Mischief meowed, making her way to Cleo. The Capricorn female picked up the cat and stroked the fur gently earning a purr back from Mischief.

"There's one thing I don't get. Why does Cameron get an extra present, even though my birthday is on Christmas day?"

"You have a present as well Cleo, but you have to wait and see for tomorrow." Vivian smiled.

"What do you mean?" Cleo then heard her sister laugh, "Vivian? Can you explain? I am confused."

"Alright, instead of having a memorable moment together for Secret Santa, Let's make some more memories and celebrate!" Sienna cheered.

Everyone else cheered. Sienna then blasted Christmas music on her new speaker and everyone started celebrating.

•.:°×═⭐ 🌟 ⭐═×°:.• (That took a while to write. Before we get to the next paragraph (?) I would like to thank StarryCandice, AmanriaPhoenix, _m-mariii_ and wuttynut_svt  for helping me think of some Secret Santa gifts to write up. It was hard especially for Sabrina and Sam, but again thank you guys. Anyways, Bob, Zoe and Jay had made Christmas treats)

Time passed and the day had slowly turned into night. Everyone was either screaming Christmas songs, spending time with others or helping in the kitchen with the food.

Phoebe was standing near a window looking over to the backyard. The girl noticed speckled across the night sky, the stars shining brighter than before. She also noticed Lily sitting down on the veranda stair, staring out towards the night sky. Phoebe couldn't help but examine the sky as well but from a window.

"Hey Phoebs," a male's voice interrupted. 

Phoebe slowly turned to find Tyler standing there with a teddy bear, "Hey Tyler, what's up."

"I don't know, I feel like a conversation," Tyler then smiled shyly, "I'm here to talk about the present." 

"Oh no...." Phoebe mumbled. Her face fell immediately, "Is it bad? You don't like it?"

"No, no. I like it," Tyler replied, "In fact, that's what I am here to talk about. It's one of my favourite gifts."

"But the others have better gifts," Phoebe frowned, "I mean a speaker, a portable DJ table...."

"A teddy bear?" Tyler finished for the female, "if I were to be honest, the teddy bear was better than the other gifts. Shows it from the heart."

"Yeah... I see what you mean." Phoebe nodded slowly, The girl then looked up, "I'm glad you love it."

"Ahem," both Tyler and Phoebe turned to find Sabrina standing, a smirk on her face, "Have you guys looked up lately."

"Wait, what do you mean?" Tyler then looked up and noticed mistletoe. He then looked down at Phoebe, "Oh."

Phoebe blushed pink and glared at Sabrina, "Why are you doing this Sabrina?'

"Oh? Just watching my OTP sail." Sabrina replied casually, "Sounds familiar?"

Phoebe groaned loudly before noticing Carol, "Carol. Help me."

Carol nodded and walked over to Sabrina before dragging her away, "You should leave them alone. How about you help with the food."

"Fine," Sabrina huffed as she allowed herself to get dragged away. Phoebe rolled her eyes and turned to Tyler.

"Well, this is awkward.." Phoebe mumbled. She got interrupted by Tyler wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her closer.

"I don't find it that awkward..."

Phoebe smiled, "I guess you can say that."

"Yeah. Merry Christmas Phoebe."

"It's Christmas Eve.'

"Oh... well... Merry Christmas Eve  then."

Phoebe smiled, "Merry Christmas Eve to you too, Tyler."

•.:°×═⭐═×°:.•  (Bob is thinking about giving Zoe and Jay a present)

Lily gleamed as she admired the stars speckled across the night sky. The girl reached a hand out to the sky, fingers spaced apart from each other as she was reaching out for a star. The girl slowly closed her hand to a fist, smiling widely.

Levin, who was holding a small plate of chocolate chip cookies. The male walked over to Lily  and sat next to her, "Hey Lily."

"Hey," Lily greeted, not looking away from the sky. Levin glanced up at the sky.

"Stargazing I see?"

"Yeah, also constellation spotting." Lily nodded, "So far it's hard."

"Hard?" Levin asked, turning to the girl, "Why?"

"For finding a constellation that is." Lily then chuckled. Levin joined in, but awkwardly.

"I see," Levin nodded before turning his head to the sky, "How did you find your present?"

"Honestly, I love it." Lily then looked down, "But there are two tickets. And I don't know who to take with me. I definitely can't take Tyler and Phoebe. They look like they are happy with each other's company."

The female pointed to the window where Tyler and Phoebe were seen under a mistletoe. Levin smiled. "Yeah, I see what you mean."

"They're finally together, after a long time denying they aren't in love."

"Mhm. The denying people are slowly losing. Sabrina... Tyler and Phoebe.."

"We just need Vincent."

"Yep, and I think Alyssa as well."

"Alyssa? That girl claimed she would be single for the rest of her life."

"You'll never know how she actually feels."

"I mean, I see what you are going with this." 

The two laughed. But what they didn't notice is Arlen standing near the door, watching them. Levin turned to Lily.

"Regarding the ticket, you should TAKE ME." Levin scratched the back of his head awkwardly. This, of course, made Lily cross her arms and raise an eyebrow.

"Give me a reason why I should take you."

"Well... the truth is..." Levin mumbled, 'I-"

"HOLD UP A SECOND." a voice interrupted causing both Levin and Lily to jump. Both zodiacs turned to find Arlen storming up to them, "You should take me instead."

"Arlen! Go away! I am having a conversation with Lily and she should take me!"Levin scowled.

'Well I happened to hear your conversation and she should take me!"

"I was her friend the longest!"

"I liked her first!"

"CAN YOU BOYS TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON???" Lily yelled. Levin and Arlen glared at each other before turning to the female. 

"I like you Lily!" Levin admitted.

"I like you as well!" Arlen added.

"Hold on, what...?" Lily gasped. For Lily, it felt like everything had slowed down around her. The only noises she could hear was her heart thumping as well as Arlen and Levin, "Why didn't you guys tell me earlier?"

No response, instead the two boys were staring at her with hope. Lily sighed, "I'm stuck in a love triangle. I don't like this feeling... I don't like this feeling at all."

The blonde-haired female stood up and ran into the house. Levin held a hand out, 'Wait, Lily!"

Levin then scowled and glared at Arlen, "Look what you did!"

"OH, I SEE HOW IT IS. YOU'RE BLAMING ME WHEN IT'S YOUR FAULT FOR BRING IT UP. I LIKED LILY FIRST!"

"WELL, I LIKED HER FOR A WHILE!" Levin then stood up and stormed off, "I don't feel like talking to you anymore. Don't talk to me ever again."

"That's something I would agree with! AND DON'T SPEAK WITH ME.,"

"FINE!"

"FINE!"

•.:°×═⭐ 🌟═×°:.• (Bob and Zoe are under the mistletoe together)

Sienna laughed as she watched Cleo and Aika scream Christmas song together. The two girls were pretending to hold microphones and acted like they were in a live concert. But Sienna wasn't the only one watching.

Vivian, Alex, Giselle, Alyssa, Sabrina and Sam were also watching the live concert as well. The group cheered for the two girls performing. When the song had finished, everyone applauded.

"Ok, who is going next?"Aika asked, flopping back on the couch.

"I think that's enough performing," Cleo then placed a hand on her forehead, "I'm exhausted."

"You can say that again," Aika agreed.

"I'm EXHAUSTED."

Everyone else chuckled. An awkward silence followed.

"So... since we are all sleeping at the same place, where do we  sleep?" Sabrina asked out of the blue.

"Oh, we sleep in the room where the Christmas tree is. It would be crowded but worth it." Vivian explained, "As for the house owners, they sleeping their rooms."

"I see."Sabrina nodded.

"I can't wait for tomorrow!" Alyssa smiled, giving a side hug to Sienna and Vivian, "It's Christmas!"

"And my birthday." Cleo pointed out with a smile.

"That too."

Sienna rolled her eyes and chuckled. The girl then noticed a familiar blonde-haired female storming into the house and sitting down on the staircase.

Lily. But something about her was off.

Sienna bit her lip when she noticed Lily looking down. The Sagittarius female then nudged Alyssa.

"Owie." Alyssa yelped. She then glared at Sienna, "What was that about?"

Sienna nudged her head towardsLily. Alyssa turned to the girl sitting on the staircase and her eyebrows slanted sadly, "Oh... should we talk to her."

"Duh! She's our housemate. And you know when something bad happens tothem.."

"We need to check on them!" Alyssa and Sienna cried out at the same time.

"What are you two talking about?"Vivian asked, turning to the two girls.

"Vivian, we'll be right back. Alyssa and I have to do something." Sienna informed the female, standing up immediately. Alyssa followed cue.

Vivian chuckled, "You two do what you need to do. Just don't do anything stupid  like wrapping Ms Bumblebert's house in toilet paper."

"Dammit, that's the second thing I wanted to do," Alyssa muttered under her breath. She ended up getting nudged on the arm by Sienna.

"Thanks," Sienna smiled, dragging Alyssa with her to the staircase. Alyssa then glared at the other female.

"What was that for?" the girl scowled, getting herself out of Sienna's grip, "All I did was reply to Vivian's statement."

"Yeah, but we don't need to worry about Ms Bumblebert teaching us now. Remember?"

"Oh yeah..."

The two walked over to the staircase Lily is sitting on and sat next to her. Alyssa sat at Lily's right side while Sienna sat at the left side. Lily noticed her two housemates sitting down next to her and slightly smiled, "Hello. You guys don't have to sit next to me, I need some time to think."

"About what?" Alyssa asked. 

"Alyssa!" Sienna whispered shouted at the other girl. Alyssa raised her hand in surrender.

"I just... I feel like I want to talk about it, but I don't know what to  do..."  Lily mumbled.

"Did Ms Bumblebert email you?" Alyssa asked.

"ALYSSA!" Sienna yelled before turning to Lily, "You can tell us if you're comfortable with it."

"I may as well say it because you two are my housemates and I trust you both," Lily frowned. She then took a deep breath and muttered quickly, "I'm in a love triangle."

"What?" her housemates replied.

"I'm in a love triangle."

"When we said 'what, we were shocked." Alyssa pointed out. 

"Who is also in the love triangle?" Sienna asked.

"Levin and Arlen. Both of them love me and I don't know what to do. I care about them both and I don't want to hurt one's feelings. But they're both fighting."

"Poor Gilbert," Alyssa then noticed Sienna glaring at her, "Sorry."

"Lily, eventually one of them will end up heartbroken anyway, and besides, they'll forget about the love triangle scenario. Look at Giselle. She was heartbroken before and now look at her." Sienna pointed out, "This is your decision after all. And you need to do what your heart tells you."

"But the thing is, I don't want to get stressed out about it. I know I need a lot of time to think, but I don't want to be near Levin or Arlen while I am thinking about this triangle." Lily muttered.

"Then.... why don't you hang out with me and Sienna?' Alyssa offered. Lily scoffed back.

"And end up as a permanent Crazy Club member? No thank you."

"No, no. You'll be in the Crazy Club but temporarily and that is, until your final decision." Alyssa smiled.

"And make sure to tell Tyler and Phoebe you will be having a small break off the friendship group. I'm sure they would understand." Sienna added.

"You know... that's not a bad idea. Though it would be bizarre of me to suddenly join the Crazy Club, temporarily." Lily smiled, "Thank you guys."

"You're welcome. Anything for a friend," Sienna smiled, "Group hug?"

Lily nodded and three girls did a group hug. That's when Sienna sniffed something amazing.

"What I smell something..." 

"FOOD'S READY!" Vincent called from the kitchen. Sienna jumped up immediately.

"I'M HUNGRY!" the girl declared before running into the kitchen, "DON'T YOU TOUCH ANY OF MY FOOD."

Lily laughed as she watched her housemate run off to grab food. She then noticed Allyssa standing up and stretching her arms. The Aries female turned to the other female and crossed her arms.

"Are you coming?" the ginger-haired female asked. 

Lily nodded and stood up, "Yep. Let's go there now."

I am disappointed. Mainly cause I feel like this chapter is not as detailed as it once was before. But I have to publish it for you guys.

Also, I haven't got that much ideas of future adventures the zodiacs could do, so I am thinking about taking a break off this book to think of some ideas. You guys can help as well, it would be greatly appreciated.

Anyways, I am surprised with how this book turned out. Already at 40K views already. Wowee :0

And to come of it that on 24th December 2018 is when this book first started. It's December 2019 when I wrote this chapter. And I must say, I enjoyed seeing the book blossom throughout the year.

And if I were to be honest, 2019 was a tough year for me. I am a year away from the last year of high school and not to mention friendship and family drama which I have to manage. But even when the year is tough, I feel the happiest writing for you guys. 

But anyways, though the book blossomed, it had its ups and downs and this applies to anything. There will be words of encouragement and also critical words. There will also be negative words but you shouldn't let that bring you down..... which happened in March/April can't remember) for me with this book but I won't speak about it.

ANYWAYS (I keep on getting distracted), I should thank you guys, past and present, new and old for the support. And I also should congratulate you guys for making this far into the book (especially with 24 characters, cause it can be overwhelming to remember). You guys are awesome, and I meant that from the heart. And oh yeah, congratulations for making through a year's worth of misspelling/errors with Musa.

Anyways I should sign out of this chapter. Hope you enjoyed this chapter (and my random author's note that may not make any sense) and happy holidays!  ❤
