《Zodiac One Shots》Denial (Scorpio (f) x Leo (m))
Advertisement
(Scorpio's POV)
I walk down the street. My house comes into view. As I pass all the houses I see Leo in the window of a big house. He looks so hot! Ugh, what are you doing Scorpio! I look down at my feet and keep walking. I can't fall in love. I keep walking until I reach my front door. I open the door to see a big mess and my mom sitting at the counter. She appears to be crying. I stare at her, not sure if she heard me walk in. She suddenly looks up with blood-shot eyes.
"Mom?" I say.
She slowly gets up and shuffles over to me. She hugs me tighter than I have ever been hugged. She mutters in my ear with a softness I haven't heard in her voice for a long time,
"Honey, me and your father are getting divorced..."
I jump away from her and stare at her, my eyes wide with shock. I couldn't believe it. I run out of the house and down the street towards the park. I run a block before the park is in view. I sit down at a bench and take out my notebook.
I scribble a drawing of a flower. Then I pull out my phone once the tears stop. I call Cancer and as the phone rings I feel a raindrop on my face. Cancer picks up.
"Hello?" She answers.
"Hey um, can I like, vent to you?"
"Sure!"
I feel more tears rush down my face as I begin to talk.
"My parents are getting divorced and I don't know why! They seemed so happy together! And each day I fall a little more in love with Leo every day! How am I supposed to make a move when I can barely walk?" I gasp for breath. The rain starts pouring down harder.

"Where are you?" Cancer asks.
"The park..."
"OMG! It's raining! Get inside before you get soaked!"
I hang up, put my hood on, and close my eyes.
(Leo's POV)
I walk downstairs and see my little sister on the couch. I overhear Cancer and Scorpio's phone call. I hear what Scorpio said and I quickly get my shoes and jacket on. I rush out the door and get on my bike. I ride towards the park. After a few minutes, I see the park. I then see someone sitting on the bench. I start yelling out,
"SCORPIO!"
No answer.
"SCORPIO!"
The person turns around and I see Scorpio's dark eyes sparkle. I stop my bike and run to her. She sees me getting closer and gets up. I thought she was gonna walk to me, but she starts walking away. I run faster and grab her arm. She turns around and looks into my blue eyes. I dip her and kiss her softly. The rain patters down on us. I pull away and we hear something.
We look around and see some little kids clapping. Their mom gets mad and leads them away. I chuckle and look back at Scorpio.
"Did you mean what you said?" I asked.
She looked up at me, "When?"
"When you told Cancer what happened..."
She looks away and quietly answers, "O-oh... You heard that..."
"Of course I heard it! Cancer had the phone on speaker," I smile.
"Yes, it's true..." She mutters. I pick her up and sit her down on my handle bars and I took us back to my house. Once we arrived, I got us some coffee and we watched a movie. I held Scorpio close in my arms and kissed her forehead every now and then. She ate dinner with us and she called her mom and asked to spend the night. Her mom said she could and she stayed with Cancer in her room. We played board games and we also played on the Wii. With every passing moment her smile got bigger. She seemed so happy.

Dishonor
In the center of a nuclear wasteland lay the last vestiges of humanity, the City, as its numerous inhabitants called it. To leave its protective wall was certain death. Humanity was not meant to fit within the confines of a walled city. But, with a strict caste system and the threat of being sent to the lowest level of the caste system for even the smallest crime, the City has survived. Liv was born to the highest caste, Most Honored. After her father's treason and subsequent execution, her family was cast into the prison that the lowest caste, the Dishonored, lived in. Tortured and forced to work as a slave for every bite to eat, Liv desired revenge against the King that made her life a living hell and the City that held her captive. With a forced smile and a polite bow, Liv would destroy the overpopulated last bastion of humanity. Releases weekly on Tuesdays at 12:45 Eastern US Time. This story is posted on Wattpad, Inkitt, Moonquill, and Royal Road.

Tesla Stone and the World of Smoke and Mirrors
R0Q-T357-Alpha (callsign: Rock) is a "Core Child," an irredeemably-crippled test tube baby modified and repurposed by an advanced U.S. military project to serve as the CPU for two-thirds of America's orbital defense systems. Though no one outside of the Pentagon has ever heard of him, he protected his homeland from three ICBMs, a Pacific theatre invasion fleet, and one rogue asteroid. Now, after twenty-seven years of distinguished service from "birth," he is being honorably discharged into civilian life. The only problem is that "civilian life" isn't exactly livable for a glorified brain in a jar. How does a couple pounds of grey matter surrounded by five tons of life support systems and enough co-processing enhancements to take over the planet enjoy an early retirement when he's surrounded by overzealous politicians, corporate spies, and foreign agents after military secrets? The real world isn't that forgiving.

Star Wars: Lost Hope
Failure. The REBEL ALLIANCE is on the verge of defeat. Following a daring mission to the Imperial research facility on Scarif, ROGUE ONE managed to capture the plans to the EMPIRE's new and powerful superweapon: the DEATH STAR. Putting the lives of the entire galaxy on the line, BAIL ORGANA entrusted the delivery of those plans to his daughter, Princess LEIA ORGANA. However, the EMPEROR's apprentice, DARTH VADER, tracked the Princess and her ship, apprehending the rebels and confiscating the stolen plans aboard the TANTIVE IV. With the plans and the Princess in his possession, Darth Vader returned to the Death Star to destroy the Alliance's HOPE once and for all. The fate of the galaxy and the balance of the FORCE are irrevocably changed as the Princess of Alderaan learns the true nature of the DARK SIDE.... (This story is a complete reworking of the entire Original Trilogy. I'm going to be borrowing material from both canon and legends because of it, but everything prior to A New Hope, including Rogue One and the Clone Wars, is all taken as true. This will be the first book in a trilogy I'm hoping to make, so stay tuned or leave some comments if you have any ideas on how I can improve!)
