Chapter 3: A touch of green

Hello there, here's chapter 3, long-awaited, I'm not sure if it's good, well you tell me, okay?

Jack, Sky and Bridge turned their attention towards the girl in pink. Jack and Bridge were most eager to hear what new surprises she was going to spring up on them while Sky wore the usual bored-as-hell look on his face.

Sydney eyed each of them carefully, but was most annoyed at that particular person who was always showing that look.

"Will you guys take a sit before me?" The guys took their sits opposite her, and looked at her questioningly.

"Thanks. Before I begin, let's see, shall we begin with you first, Bridge?"

"Uh…. Do I have a choice?" Bridge hesitated.

Sydney laughed, "What do you think? Okay, now, tell me your horoscope."

"I'm sorry, I thought I didn't quite registered what you said. Did you ask me about my HORRORscope?"

All of them gave him a dry look. Bridge shrugged. "What about Sagittarius?"

Z dropped her jaw, and exclaimed incredulously, "YOU are a Sagittarius?"

"Why not?" Bridge asked, clearly surprised by her reaction.

Sydney looked at Z, her blue eyes sparkling, then at Bridge, "Alright, you guys. Let him hear it. Here goes, 'you are the luckiest Sign of the Zodiac. You love to plan ahead. It's a favorite pastime, since you always see the bright side of things. You also love to party and see the world, ever searching, scheming, and dreaming about the opportunity of a lifetime."

Sydney looked up from her book and looked at them, "and Sagittarians shouldn't sulk too often. They love a sunny personality, and may not take too kindly to a morose you. The Sagittarian hates to hear he is wrong, so reserve your judgment. Also, you are a generous to the fault person."

Bridge had a look of amazement on his face.

Sydney took a sip of her lemon tea, and asked Bridge, "Are you interested to hear about your love life?"

He nodded and she continued reading, "Sagittarians love the idea of a companion, a friend/partner who can share in their quest for truth and knowledge. This relationship will be active and spirited, filled with adventures to faraway lands, as well as exotic fantasies in the bedroom. This enthusiasm comes with a keen sense of loyalty for a deserving partner, but the Sagittarian's lover must be careful not to make the mistake of becoming boring or possessive."

Several seconds past before anyone spoken anything. And then, Jack started to clap his hands, "Wow, that was cool."

Sky said, "Well, I'm sure that was purely coincidental."

Bridge recovered next, "That book was totally, awfully, rightly, truly remarkable. It practicallyknows about me through and through. Can I borrow it, Syd?"

"Why would you want a girlish book, Bridge?" Z asked.

"To know more, of course." He replied nonchalantly.

"Uh-uh, no way, not before she reads about mine," Jack interrupted.

"Okay you guys, Jack's up next. Sky?"

To be continued…. Uh- C'mon, tell me, love to hear from you guys, it's been awfully lo-ooooong time.
