Tyler just arrived in Tennesee for his service project in order to be confirmed, when he saw the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, Gemeni.


"Hey, what's your name?" Tyler asked, closing the door behind him.


"Gemini, and you?" She responded.


"Tyler. Nice to meet you, beautiful."


"You too." Gemini said, blushing.


"I gotta go set up for tonight, bye Gem." Tyler said with confidence.


"See ya later!" Gemini responded.


Tyler couldn't believe the way he just talked to a girl. He had always been shy around them. But this time around, it was as if he knew this girl from another lifetime. Or maybe it was the long car ride, or maybe the Tennessee air. Anyway, Tyler felt good and as if he made a good impression. Settling down in his bunk for the night he Kept saying her name over and over in his head. "Gemeni. Gemen. Gemeni", only to realize his birthday is on May 28th. His zodiac symbol is Gemeni. Eagerly wanting to share this news, he fell asleep. In the morning, Tyler hopped out of bed and ran to breakfast. Once at breakfast, he realized how large the camp was and how hard it would be to spot Gemeni in the enormous swarm of people. Disappointed, he finished breakfast and got prepared for the long day ahead of him. He just about gave up on ever seeing Gemeni again, because once you get back from your project, you stay in your cabin and go to sleep. On his way to the sight, Tyler felt trapped and bored. He was stuck with all older men and women. The group arrived and began work for what felt like ages. An hour or so later, another white van pulled up. Again, all older men and women piled out of the car to begin work, but the very last person out of the car was none other than Gemeni herself. Tyler couldn't believe it. Though he was pumped, he remained cool and told her he was Gemeni, too. Throughout the week the two became close. When they returned home, it turned out they were a block apart, she had been home schooled and went to the church on the north side of town. Eventually they got married.
