Chapter III – Meditation and Intuition.

"Finny! There's so much cute stuff I think I'm going to explode! EEK! I CANT TAKE IT. Lol! xD"

There wasn't a response to the text that Serena had sent out a few hours ago however she understood the reasons as to why there wasn't one. Not only did Finn had to more than likely work at the music shop but she had to prepare for that show pending at the club. The time-zones were also a killer. She was sure that she at least read it so it was a good thing. Her escapade that day finally paid off when she found a few good cute chibi souvenirs and a best-friend like item. Almost as if it was a best-friend bracelets but in key-chain form. It would be a meaningful and colorful addition to the 7 keys already there from the front door to the apartment. Serena had a good laugh whilst she bought the key-chains remembering back to the reason why they had 7 of them in the first place. Finn was too paranoid and demanded more locks claiming that 3 weren't enough until 7 was the perfect number. Serena knew that they both needed it considering how easy it could be to break into the apartment when they weren't there but the paranoid friend's reactions to why they needed it ended up in at least an hour and a half of explanation…and laughter until it was decided.

It was late and Serena deemed it would be the perfect moment to go to sleep considering it was almost midnight. Shutting the phone off, she bid the world goodnight until the next day. Sure enough morning arrived no too sooner than the other day and Serena was around and about once more. She had the rest of the days to relax and figure out what to do but for now the blond decided that meditating would be nice. Serena wasn't too fond of going out every single day to party and get drunk. She didn't even drink for that matter which most people found a surprise. The alcohol was just too strong and the burning sensation didn't sit too well with her. She'd much rather drink water or any soda to alleviate the thirst whilst dancing the night away. Besides, having to work sometimes in the morning with patients wouldn't be such a good idea to clock in buzzed.

"Well there isn't much I could use but it's pretty quiet so that's a good thing." Serena looked around curiously, trying to find at least something comfortable to sit on. The room itself is not very big so she settled for sitting on the bed. It was that or the floor and if room service would see her, they might think something is wrong. As long as there is peace and quiet, she would have to make the best of it. Moving the curtain of the window nearby, made the room turn much brighter from the sun's light. The day seemed calm and skies were as clear as could be. Quickly taking a sit in the center of the bed, Serena crossed her legs in an Indian style position and placed her hands above her knees.

'Inhale..Exhale..Inhale..Exhale..' Serena chanted in her head whilst closing her eyes until her breathing became even enough to stop and she was met with nothing but silence. It helped her hone her abilities to heal and communicate with the other skills she had considering it took much of her concentration and without it; she wouldn't be able to heal as precisely nor speak telepathically easily. Meditation also worked whenever she felt troubled. The previous day had brought her some memories she didn't really want to remember again causing an internal disruption and it could prove more troublesome for her in the future. It would be better to deal with it whenever it appeared rather than leaving it for last. This was something she couldn't bug Finn with because it was something very delicate. Speaking about it over the phone didn't seem to be a good idea especially now that Finn had that performance, Serena couldn't possibly talk about it. This was Finn's time to shine. The meditation session had lasted about two hours or so, giving her sufficient time to re-find her balance and just in time before room service had rung the door. "One moment please!" Serena spoke in Japanese as she made her way off of the bed. She had to admit that the time she spent meditating helped her muscles relax as well. All in all it wasn't such a bad idea..Or so she thought.

Thump.

Crash.

"O-OW!" The moment her feet touched the ground, the cramps had suddenly gripped her muscles, causing a not so glorious fall to the ground. Luckily she had enough time to not fall on her head but her knees and elbows took most of the blow against the carpet. Not. Pleasant. She..would have to fix that later on. "Geez..Now I remember why I didn't meditate so often..or at least do it near a carpeted area.." She grumbled in a low yet pained tone while struggling to get back up. Her walk now slightly limp, Serena made it to the door without anymore mishaps and the server had the small cart filled with different covered plates on them. A thank you was exchanged and once the worker was gone, she was able to close the door and get rid of the new bothersome scrapes she received. Serena began to concentrate her energy down to her right hand until a soft pale light blue energy engulfed it. A gentle smile appeared on her lips as she placed her hand ever so slightly over the scraped skin in her left elbow letting the light cover it until it was fully healed. She then proceeded to her both knees and then switched her energy to her left hand in order to get the right elbow. Every time she had a chance to use her powers, the healing light itself always felt warm. It was a comforting sensation to say the least. Feeling completely better she nodded. "Ha! This session kinda helped me. I just have to practice a little more so I don't have to use my hands to heal myself." She said thinking out loud with an attentive expression laced on her face. Serena knew that her powers needed a lot of work and there was so much potential to reach. For now it would do though. Lunch was there and it wouldn't be a good thing to let that go to waste.

A colorful plate filled with plenty different kinds of native Japanese treats made it almost too cute to eat. Hunger would be the stronger force and with little effort the plate would be empty within 15 minutes. There was an elegant empty glass and next to it a medium sized container with what seemed to be juice. Just as soon as Serena reached out for the empty glass, it cracked. The noise that emanated from the crack wasn't a good one and the fracture was quite large. Almost as if someone had hit it. She was almost sure she wasn't the cause of it since she didn't even touch it. Serena felt her heart drop and concern overwhelmed her body. It was things like these that would get Serena's attention instantly. Intuition was something the blond believed within the depths of her soul and a perfect glass suddenly cracking without merit isn't a mistake. Perception was essential in prevention. Once she was concerned, there was nothing that would stop her from feeling better until she would be there to witness that everything was indeed okay, whatever it may be. This time it was no different. She reached for her phone and made extra sure to send her best friend a new text asking if her performance went well and if everything was alright but then Serena remembered that due to the time-zones, Finn must have already gone to bed. "Darn..Well I do hope that everything's alright..I'm sure she'll text me in the morning." That thought alone would be the only thing keeping her sane for the final days left in Japan.
