"Guys...." Ophiuchus entered the lounge, looking dead serious.
"Did Gemini set the kitchen on fire again?" Aries asked, totally nonchalant.
"Not really." Ophiuchus shook her head while Gemini made a face at Aries.
"I want to guys to meet someone," Ophiuchus stuttered nervously.
Aquarius gave her an I knew it looks.
"Do you have a secret boyfriend," Leo smirked.
"Yes and no." Ophiuchus bit her lip.
"Spit it out already," Pisces urged.
"Actually...... I want you to meet her..."
"Her?" Sagittarius rubbed his chin in confusion.
A gorgeous girl with luscious, long black hair strode in. Her iris was blue in one eye and hazel in the other. She was tall and had a black skin tone. They thought she was from Africa and was about Ophiuchus's age.
"Hi!" she smiled a warm smile.
"Um hello," Aries spoke up.
"Guys...this is Pegila!" Ophiuchus announced and to everyone's surprise, kissed Pegila on the cheek.
"I met her a few months ago and as you can see... we've become rather close," Ophiuchus explained.
After several seconds, Scorpio asked with a straight face "Why didn't you ever introduce her to us."
"About that...." Ophiuchus began but Pegila interrupted her "It was because we both were friends because of business, you see I work for a publishing agency." she said in an accent.
"I didn't know you were lesbian," Sagittarius said in disbelief.
"Isn't that obvious now," Ophiuchus rolled her eyes and added, "And please close your mouth or else you're going to attract flies?"
Pegila stifled a laugh.
"Are you guys okay with it?" Ophiuchus asked them anxiously.
"Of course!" Cancer nodded encouragingly.
"No offense but you have a weird name," Libra said.
"Libra!" Ophiuchus glared at him.
"It's fine," Pegila laughed "I get that remark a lot."
"I'll go get some tea." Taurus got up and left.
"Virgo, Taurus, Cancer and Capricorn are a great help." Ophiuchus smiled.
"Hey!! What about me??" The rest of them cried in unison.
"Well... Scorpio and Pisces help me a lot with my work..and Aries, Sagittarius, Leo and Aquarius are always there for me and Gemini and Libra are the optimistic ones." Ophiuchus laughed.
"You guys are one big happy family," Pegila remarked warmly but abruptly.
"Thanks..." Scorpio said politely.
Just then, Taurus entered with food.
"Thank goodness, I was starving." Leo groaned.
Pegila laughed.
Taurus accidentally touched Scorpio's hand while passing him the scones and Scorpio blushed a little while Taurus turned red.
All of them continued chatting merrily.

"JE DÉTESTER GEMINI!" (I hate Gemini) Taurus yelled in French.
"Wow...Taurus yelled." Libra joked.
"Very funny," Taurus rolled her eyes.
"What did Gemini do this time?" Capricorn chuckled.
"He put slime in my shampoo." Taurus frowned.
"You have the most amazing hair, princess." Leo winked at her.
Taurus glared at him and started chasing him.
"I hope she catches him." Virgo sighed.
"Same," Aries chuckled.
"Hey, guys..." Libra smirked.
"Ooh I know that smirk," Aquarius grinned.
"Me too!" Sagittarius added.
"Let's play spin the bottle," Libra said, smiling devilishly.
"Nope," Cancer shook her head.
"Raise your hand if you want to play spin the bottle," Aries announced.
Aries, Sagittarius, Libra and Gemini raised their hands.
"Aqua, I thought you were on our side." Aries groaned.
Aquarius merely shrugged.
"Minority wins!" Gemini announced.
"That doesn't make sense." Virgo sighed.
"Well it does, I'm pretty sure if Taurus and Leo would be on our side." Libra shrugged.
"I'm ready to bet that Taurus won't." Aquarius began.
"I don't care," Aries smirked.
A few minutes later
All the 12 of them held their breath...
What seemed like a decade to them, the bottle finally slowed down and landed on..... Pisces and Virgo.
"I'm glad it didn't land on one of the idiots." Virgo smiled. Pisces gave Virgo a small peck on the cheek.
"Hey! I thought this was supposed to be awkward!" Leo whined.
Taurus, Gemini and Aquarius burst out laughing.
"Let's continue," Sagittarius suggested.
The bottle was spun again....and after another decade it finally landed on..... Gemini and Cancer!
Gemini's face turned red while Cancer's ears turned pink.
Taurus smirked while Pisces tried to record the moment.
Scorpio cast an amused smile while Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Aquarius, and Pisces cheered.
Both of them leaned forward awkwardly and Cancer quickly kissed him on the cheek awkwardly.
"Hey! I thought it was supposed to be on the lips!"
Cancer and Gemini were too dumbfounded to speak.
"Um... should we continue?" Capricorn asked sharply.
"Duh!" Aries nodded, rather too enthusiastically.
This time, the bottle landed on Capricorn and Libra.
Capricorn groaned while Libra grinned ear-to-ear.
"From this moment onwards, I declare Corn my boyfriend!" Libra declared teasingly.
"Oh no.." Capricorn facepalmed.
"I cannot watch this." Virgo winced.
Finally, the kiss got over (to everyone's relief as they couldn't stand Libra anymore).
The bottle was spun (again!). The atmosphere was tense........the bottle slowed down......it finally landed...... Sagittarius and Aquarius!
"Oh um... I think I forgot to..........wash Cooper, yeah so bye!" Aquarius attempted to escape but Aries grabbed her by her T-shirt.
"You're not going anywhere." Aries declared.
Aquarius sighed in defeat and sat back down.
"Hey, where's Sagi?" Taurus asked.
"Get him!!" Aries ordered.
Leo and Gemini rushed and caught him by his collar.
"Aww man," he whined.
"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" Almost half of the zodiacs chanted.
"You guys make me sick." Aquarius wrinkled her nose.
"Agreed," Sagittarius nodded.
When the moment was over, Pisces yelled "AHHHHHHH I SHIP YOU BOTH, YOU GUYS ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOO KA-UTE TOGETHER, AHHHHHHH!"
"Pisces has finally become one of us." Libra pretended to wipe tears.
"Welcome to the crazy club gorgeous." Leo winked at her.
"Thanks, how about I start by feeding Leo to the lions!" Pisces suggested.
"An outstanding idea! I'm so proud of you!" Aries chuckled.
"Let's put our plan into action!" Aquarius cheered and the members of the 'crazy club' began to chase Leo who ran for his life.
