Enhanced Auric Relaxation

	It was a long day. A lot longer than she had ever wanted it to be, really. First, there was the whole debacle with the Hendemonds… They just wouldn’t shut their mouths long enough for her to get a good word in edgewise, and even then, they didn’t even want to listen to a thing she said! Not even that, but before she could even get into work that morning, she ran into a group of people at the coffee shop she usually goes to every morning. They acted like they owned the place, and wanted to see everything run exactly how they wanted it!
	“Morons…” She mutters under her breath for a moment before reaching into her pocket, and pulling out a ring filled with jangling keys. After making sure she had the right one, she slips that piece of metal into the upper lock on her front door, and turns it, only to get stopped in her tracks… How’d she get the wrong key, anyway? She pulls it out, and fishes around that ring for the right one this time before slipping that one in, and turning it in that lock… Thankfully, this time, it worked.
	After taking that out, she lets out a sigh before turning the knob on her door, walking in, and setting her backpack off to the side near the door frame… Thank goodness it was the weekend, because she certainly didn’t want to go out anytime soon. After a moment of figuring out what was around her from her state of delirium from her horrible day, she plops herself onto the nearby couch. At once, she lets out a groan… Her swollen tum was getting bigger and bigger each day, and judging from the incessant texting and messaging from her parents she seemed to get on a day to day basis, she was just about ready to throw her phone away in a drawer, and forget about it for the next forty-eight hours.
	“Ugh, oh, thank Suicune it’s the weekend…” She rubs her face for a moment before moving her hand to her distended gut… Yeah, they were doing fine, but they wouldn’t be with all of this stress everyone and everything had over her… She sits up after a moment. “Oh, what do I want, even…?” She rubs her chin for a moment before standing up, and making her way towards the kitchen… Yeah, she could use something to sate her sweet tooth…
	After a moment or two of making sure that everything was in order, she makes her way into the small kitchenette she had, and peeks into her fridge… After a moment, she smiles. She had just gone to the store a few days ago, after all, so her fridge was stocked with everything she needed to get rid of that sweet tooth she had: fruit. And lots of it. She’ll get to making something up in a moment. First of all, though, she closes her fridge, and turns towards her countertop.
	On top, her electric kettle was sitting there on its base, waiting for anything to happen to it. Thankfully, it didn’t have to wait long, because a certain Lucario was itching to have something nice and relaxing to drink: green tea. After making sure that every part of that kettle was clean, she takes it off its base, and heads over towards her faucet. She sticks that kettle underneath the tap, and turns on the water.

Kshhhhhhhhh

And soon enough, that kettle was filled enough that she could get something good out of it. After placing the cap back onto that kettle, she places it back onto its base on the counter, and squeezes the trigger-like device under the curve in the handle. With barely a sound, the kettle’s light turns on, and simply starts to heat up…
“Now, I know I have some honey somewhere…” She looks up towards her cabinet for a moment, making sure to take a second to bring down her Torkoal-shaped mug that she loved to drink from, and starts on her search for honey within those small walls…
Thankfully, though, the search didn’t end up without anything “missing”... She had a spare bit of honey in the Ursaring-Shaped bottle she liked to use. Just as she brings that bottle down, the sound of a small “Ding~!” meets the Lucario’s ears. She looks to her right, and spots the small light on the side of the base of her kettle glowing blue. It was ready.
She smiles, and reaches into the cabinet once again to pull out a small packet of green tea. She kept these for truly horrible days, and today was certainly one of those. Without a word, she takes it down, grabs the kettle, and pours the boiling water into her favorite mug before placing that tea bag into it… After that, she heads for the fridge, and grabs a few of her favorite fruits: melon, apple, grapes, even a few strawberries and star fruit to go with it! She was going to make herself a fruit salad whether people cared enough or not.
After chopping up a good number of those fruits into a bowl and bringing her tea with her back to her couch, she places them both off to the side before reaching over the nearby table, and grabbing a green-apple colored cylinder. After looking for a match book, striking one, and lighting the wick that stuck out of that wax, she sits down, and pulls the fluffy blanket she kept draped over the top of that couch over her.
With a deep-set sigh, she reaches towards the table once again, and grabs a remote before turning on the television across from her, the tell-tale sound of a science-oriented show emanating from the speakers. With that, she grabs the cup of tea she brought with her, and takes a sip…
“Ah… Just what I need…” A second later, she reaches over and plucks one of those fruit chunks out of that bowl, and pops it into her mouth. Oh, she was in heaven… If anything wanted to bother her now, she wouldn’t care at this point. It was the weekend, and she was going to relax.
