The next morning, Chi-Chi stood with a scowl across her face, fighting to adjust her bags, having made changes to her clothes for their newly changed adventure. Although, a word in the ear of the bar owner where the guy operated from, was enough to ensure it wouldn’t happen again. The laughing, memories and Launch practically begging with her life, were the only things that prevented Bulma from taking legal action against the ‘company’. With a less than professional landing, Bulma was on the receiving end of the poorly executed descent and this resulted in her broken leg and week-long stay in a hospital abroad. Excited by the prospect, she had signed all the friends up and then wandered back to the group – who were still sunning themselves - with wrist bands and a business card in hand. They’d all been away together for a beach day and Launch had met a guy at the bar that was offering parasailing. The last time that Launch had one of her infamous ideas, it resulted in Bulma breaking her leg. Relishing the thought of an even bigger adventure, she threw herself back onto the bed with a smile plastered across her face. "See, that's the kinda enthusiasm we need! You gals are always up for a challenge," Launch always knew where to hit them, to motivate them. I'm bored with my job and I need to let go a bit!" Laughed Lazuli, she was living up to her alter-ego name of 18, as she holds the infamous shot record. "We can enjoy our freedom, drink to our heart's content. Although, they’re a little bit wary of the spontaneity of another one of Launch's plans, especially Chi-Chi. The conversation went back and forth as they weighed up their options, they were already a day late for check-in at the retreat anyway, and the general thought was to make their own fun. The current topic of conversation was whether it was a good idea to blow the retreat off and head to the cabin that Lazuli’s brother had said that they could stay in. Between the busy and hardworking women, this was the best they could come up with at such short notice. Her therapist had recommended dedicated time with loved ones and engaging with nature. The group was on their way to a wilderness retreat, partially for fun, but mainly to support their friend Launch. It had already been a long day, as they had found themselves lost several times and had decided to complete the remainder of their journey tomorrow. The group of old college friends - although Chi-Chi and Bulma had known each other since childhood - had met up again and were currently sprawled across the beds of their motel room. Shaking her head again at hearing yet another one of her friend’s spontaneous ideas, Chi-Chi found herself being roped into another off-the-wall adventure.
