CronoOver 36 Before Camping

-A loud "Bang!" was heard from the door being kicked open. The one who kicked them was Rin, and the reason being that he had his hands full of bags and all kinds of things that Serah bought while they were shopping.

"What was that noise?"-Asked Serah while carrying only a small bag with makeup in her hand.

"Just the door I kicked opened!"

"What! Why?"

"Oh, I don't know... Maybe becouse you bought s.h.i.+t loud of stuff we don't need, and all of my hands are full from carrying them!"

-Rin was right, Serah bought a lot of dresses and makeup that she doesn't need, they looked pretty to her so she wanted them. It's like this every time she goes out shopping, even if she goes out to buy something simple as bread. If anything catches her eye she immediately buys it.

"What do you meen "We don't need!" I'll have use for all this stuff... eventually."

"I'll go put all this stuff in the room next door. Now I finally understand why you live in a hotel, and why all other rooms are unusable!"

-The hotel they lived in had dozens of rooms throughout the six floors it had. But even so, both of them lived in one of them, it was the biggest room of all, to say the least, but it was weird, that is until he figured out why that was. Serah used the other rooms to keep all the junk she bought in them.

"Thx, son!"

-After he put all the stuff in the room he went back to their room and had lunch. I was already two in the afternoon, and it was lunchtime. becouse they spent their entire morning shopping they didn't have time to cook their lunch, so they just bought it while in the town. It wasn't anything expensive, baked chicken with vegetable risotto and fruit salad, with cheesecake for dessert. The reason for that was Rin, he doesn't like eating expensive foods, he prefers normal ones, so Serah eats the same.

-She got used to eating expensive food from all over the world, becouse of the amount of money she possesses. Becouse Rin doesn't like eating expensive foods and eats only basic everyday lunches Serah makes, so she got used to eating the same.

-After they finished their meal, Rin went to his room and checked if he packed everything he needed, one last time just to be sure.

"Let's see... Cloths here, underwear here, chargers here, toothbrush here, sharpening stone here, the new lenses and the extra pair of gla.s.ses are there as well, not to forget the 1001 facts about cheese Something to read while on the way."

-Rin went through everything in his bags and a.s.sured himself that he packed everything and didn't leave anything behind.

-After he finished with checking his bags he took his gla.s.ses and cleaned them with a cleaning paper before taking his bags and going outside and leaving them in the car.

-Serah was already in the car waiting for him to arrive, she had some business to take care of while Rin prepared, a business that included a toilet and some paper. It seems that the lunch she and didn't go down so well.

"G.o.d, that was the hardest struggle I had this year! You're a worthy opponent baked chicken."

"You didn't wait long, did you?"

"Don't worry, I left the hotel not so long ago, so did you take everything?"

"Yes, one hundred percent, and are all the camping tools already in the car as well?"

"You needn't worry, your great mom prepared everything already. After we're done at the hospital it strait to the forest for us!"

"I trust you, this is the first time I'm going camping, I'm excited."

"And you should be! Camping is awesome, I remember the first time my dad took me camping, it was amazing. We sat around a campfire, ate smores and looked at the beautiful night sky. Its an experience I will never forget and one I want to show you!"

"Then I can't wait until we get there." -Said Rin an excited tone while having a smile on his face.

-The ride to the hospital that took a little more than half of an hour pa.s.sed like it was a minute becouse the two of them talked the whole way. Serah was telling Rin about all the places in the world she visited and the people she met while looking at hundreds maybe thousands of years' worth of history.

-Becouse of her job she needs inspiration and the things that inspire her the most are places and ancient architecture. "There is nothing more beautiful than seeing such beauty that the earth and humans created!" she said.

"I know what you mean, no matter how many times I see it, Britain is always so beautiful! I coud watch the sight of the city for years and still not get bored. Once school starts I can't wait to see all of the beauty of the world."

-The two didn't have a lot of things in common, still, talking to each other was always somehow fun. Rin loved listening to Sarah's stories, he emerged himself into listening About the places she visited and the people she met.

"Ah! We're here, that was fast."

-They were already in front of the parking s.p.a.ce of the hospital. Talking about traveling and seeing all sorts of interesting and beautiful places made the long trip they had fly bye like it was nothing.

After parking her car, Serah and Rin made their way towards the hospital that holds a lot of memories for both of them. Its the place that saved his life as well as the place where he met his new mother.

-This hospital is also the place where he swore to bring his friend back to life, so returning here after what he did in the tournament and the promises he made with the same friend, Rin felt sad. He was blinded by his emotions and did something stupid that he will always regret.

-But that sadness disappeared very shortly as Serah took his hand and gripped it tightly, all the while giving him a bright and cheery smile.

"Eh, what's wrong mom, are you ok? Do you have a panic attack or something?"

"HOW RUDE! I was just trying to help. After all, this place holds a lot of bad memories for you doesn't it!"

"...Being it bad or good memories, all that is important now is that this is the place where you found me and thanks to you I finally feel like a human again.

"..."

"How do I say this... you did more for me than my actual parents ever did. You gave me a shoulder to cry on and a home to return to. You gave me a lot of fun memories and... I know this sounds so cheesy and cringe but I want to let you know that you are a strong person and I'm proud that you call me your son."

"Your right that was cheesy!"

"HEY!"

"I told you already, I didn't adopt you so you coud cry and whine the entire time so men up! Everyone has their own problems in life and is doing everything that they can in order to resolve them. You are the strong one here, to watch your friend die in your arms and leaving you alone... just remember that you will definitely bring him back, I don't have a doubt in my mind. If it's you I'm sure you can do it.

"Thank you!"

-Even after Serah said that Rin still though to himself, better said he know that she was way stronger than him. After the tournament had ended and he and Serah started bonding had Rin started noticing things which he was to blind to notice before. He found her hidden stack of books on how to be a proper mother that she was constantly reading when there was no one around, as well as the cooking books which he used to teach herself how to cook just for him. And not only that, she did his laundry and cleaned the entire hotel once a week all the while needing to do designs for her company.

-Rin appreciated all that she had done for him, she was a true mother in his eyes, a mother he would never turn his back towards and run away.

"And one more thing, if I see that b.a.s.t.a.r.d of an Exboyfriend I'm slicing him in half. If anyone makes you cry ever again, they will pay with their blood."

"Slow down, we don't need to get blood involved!"

"That said, I'm cheering for you and Mai. Good luck!"

-Her face turned bright red once again, with an embarra.s.sed expression she started chasing Rin, shouting things like "Little jerk!" and "You're done when I catch you!

-They continued like that for a little while before Serah managed to catch him and hit him on his head. After the exercise that they just had, they took a little rest before going into the hospital behind them.

-Unlike the first time he was there, now there were a lot more people in the hospital. All of them had some sort of injury or illness. The sight of all these people sitting there waiting for their turn to get treated was depressing, and the reason for that was the rise in crime. More and more people are acting out and turning to a life of crime while injuring innocent civilians in the prosses.

"The news often reports on how people turn to robbery and crime, being it easier to come to money and have a nice life. Those that work a double s.h.i.+ft for sc.r.a.ps or those who have horrible bosses and get stressed are the ones that seek revenge or want more money, so when they figure out that they can hurt those people and possibly get away with it, it all goes to h.e.l.l and the Magicians need to go and stop them."

"You can say that the world went to h.e.l.l when Sera appeared. Crime started being an everyday thing and people in suits running around town chasing them and imprisoning them while receiving praise for doing so, not to mention all the stuff with the Children of G.o.d. Things are even worse now then they were in the Clown war."

In a way that is true. I saw it first hand in the Underworld, the people that fight there and all of the evil in the world... White knife, to take away someone's life when they're born and enslave them, it's nothing short then work of monsters.

"It's not worth only looking at the negative side, there are a lot of good people who put their lives on the line so we can live peacefully and we should all appreciate that. I'm sure a day will come when all of us will live in peace and the current times will seem like a far dream!"

She's right, The Magicians fight in order to keep the peace and protect innocent people like these from harm and those monsters.

-When Sera appeared five years ago people didn't know what to do and were confused. Shortly after new World leaders were founded and set in use a couple of rules to help the world operate somewhat normally. One of the rules was that other then the army and the Magicians, normal people are not to use their abilities in public. If a fight was to break out and someone was to use their ability they were treated as if they pulled out a gun and used it.

"Anyway, where should we go from here?"

"He said to meet him in his office so that would be... around here somewhere."

-When the walked for a while the hallways became familiar to them. They found themselves in front of the door of the same room in which they had the conversation with August, which is Jurlina's office.

-Serah went first and opened the door wich they went through and entered his office. Together with a nurse, Jurlina was going through some papers of the patients he was going to operate in the following days. It wasn't an easy job and he still found time to arrange a check-up for Rin.

"You came, Is it already five a clock? I'm sorry I'm so busy with these papers that I didn't look at the time."

"It seems like you're quite busy."

"Yes, more and more people are getting hurt each day, so my days can't be busier. But worry not, For Rin I always have time."

"That's good to hear."

"Let's head to the examination room and see how your body is doing!"

-After they met up with Jurlina they made their way to the Examination room in which they will perform a physical check-up on Rin's body and see how it's doing. To determine if he's recovering is going well or not they need to have these kinds of check-ups every now and then. If it turnes out that the patient isn't doing well or is getting worse they need to perform another operation or send his overseas into the hands of experts.

-In Rin's case, this is his first as well as last check-up. Becouse of the drugs he took in the tournament his body was fully healed and left with no injuries. Jurlina was left stunned at the results that he saw. He couldn't believe that a body like his coud recover so fast so the first thing that came to his mind was the healing drugs of course.

"Tell me the truth you used some sort of ability or drug to fix your body to this point, didn't you?"

"..."

-Ashamed of his actions and worried what the doctor would say, Rin couldn't find the words to answer him. All he coud do is just stand there while looking sideways and avoiding his glare.

"I hired a person from a private clinic to heal all of his wounds instantly, It cost quite a penny but it was worth it for my boy!" -Said Serah.

"He wanted to start training as soon as possible, he also wanted to be able to train in high school so I hired some privet doctor that I found on the web." -Not hesitating a bit Serah jumped in and covered for Rin's stupid mistake, while giving him a wink and a reaction that said: "Everything is going to be alright, just leave it to me!"

-Rin wanted to stop her from lying and tell Jurlina the trough but before he coud Serah pinched his ankle and told him to keep quiet. That was for the best If Rin had told him that he got the drugs himself Jurlina would surely report him to the police. Becouse of the recent rise in the use of drugs from the underworld the police and the Magicians take it very seriously and are not afraid of arresting a child, especially Rin who already has an unknown background.

"A private doctor you say, I'm heartbroken! Well, there are powers out there that we don't know exist yet so it's possible, but I have to warn you not to get involved with the drugs, they are useful, yes but just like they are useful there are some out there that have worse side effects than the effects you paid for. Not to say if you get chout using them you'll be arrested immediately."

"I can a.s.sure you Rin wouldn't do such a thing. So with the check-ups being well and his body all head up, can he train normally now?"

"...Even though I don't like it, I can't stop you with your body being good now. I'll send a report letter to the Magician's high and inform them of the situation so you'll be able to take the lessons normally!"

"REALLY, THANK YOU!"-Said Rin excitedly and full of energy.

"That doesn't mean you can put your self in the same situation in which Ms. Serah found you in, you understand?"

"Yes sir, Doctor Sir!"

"Are you making fun of me?"

"No sir, doctor sir!"

"You little..."

-With the Checkup being over and the problem of training in the Magicians high being resolved they finally did everything needed for Rin to have a normal high school life. They said their goodbyes and left the Hospital the same way they entered it.

"Now... It's camping time!"

"Let's go... wait where are we camping anyway?"

"There is a mountain a few miles away from here and its neer the harbor you need to be waiting at."

"That's worryingly convenient, don't you think so?"

"I don't see a problem!"

"Optimistic as always I see!

-And so the sat back in the car and made their way towards the mountains.
