1. Trip Overview

• Launa travels back to Minnesota
• Main reason: uncle’s celebration of life
• Also fitting in:
• Seeing friends
• Visiting a new local bar in Prior Lake

2. Setting the Scene

• Growing town: small hometown now much bigger
• Plan: day drinking to avoid being hungover for the service
• Busy atmosphere:
• Big sports day (hockey + basketball games)
• Packed bar, lively crowd

3. The Incident (Main Drama)

• Launa steps outside to take a phone call
• Moves into an alleyway to escape noise and wind
• Trips over an electric scooter she didn’t see
• Falls hard on the sidewalk (“beefed it”)

4. Immediate Aftermath

• Strangers check on her → mix of concern and laughter
• Friends inside witness it through the window
• Friend announces: “Launa’s down!”
• No one rushes out to help 😂

5. Injuries & Reaction

• Banged-up knee, swollen and scraped
• Pain lingers (especially going up stairs)
• Launa brushes it off but clearly hurting

6. Running Joke / Pattern

• Callback: Launa’s history with scooters (bad luck continues)
• Friends unfazed: “Just Launa being Launa”

7. Resolution

• She survives the fall
• Makes it to the service the next day
• Mission accomplished: not hungover (just tired)
