What a perfect name, Xander thought.\u003cbr\u003e He looked again at the tranquil blue energy cloud\u003cbr\u003e surrounding her. His own cloud was similar to hers in that it was\u003cbr\u003e mostly blue, but it contained hints of other colors at times. His also moved slowly, but not as slowly or as gracefully as Serenity's.\u003cbr\u003e \"So, you can see them, too,\" she stated.\u003cbr\u003e \"Energy clouds? Yes, I can see them, too,\" he answered, \u003cbr\u003e breaking his stare at her cloud.\u003cbr\u003e He remembered her admitting to seeing his energy cloud\u003cbr\u003e when they first met at the pool ten years ago.\u003cbr\u003e She probably doesn't even remember me from there, he\u003cbr\u003e thought, but maybe she does from the ice cream shop.
