Don't lose the D-Tector? "Eep." Cho had already made a mistake. She's just full of them, isn't she? Or at least she thinks she is. "Well, Theramon's not going to hurt us, and Sherry... the worst she would do is add on to our bill. I think we'll be fine." Unless assuming everything will be fine was another of her 'long list' of mistakes.
"I know about the pain of battle," Cho admits. "I had a shouting match with a Pip...Pippity.... Pipismon, that's the one! Just thinking about it makes my ears ring. Makes me glad I had the Spirit or I don't know if I would be around to enjoy this with you!"
Theramon gives Cho the biggest surprise yet. When she was talking about magical hair growth, she wasn't expecting it to be a thing! "R-really? Y-you can do that?" Her eyes tear up a little for some reason. "Sign me up! I'd... like it longer, but still able to wear a wig. Makes getting different hairstyles and colors on the fly a lot easier."
So they stopped using the mind control shampoo. "Aw, that's too bad," Cho jokes. "It would be great for business." She then puts on a wiggly, 'spooky' voice. "Youuu willll come back here and spend allllll your moneeyyyyyy..." She lets out another giddy giggle.
The hair growth formula at first does not seem to work on Cho. "Should have known-" she begins, but soon enough, her hair lengthens a bit. To Theramon, it was probably normal. But to Cho...
It was a miracle.

Had they made an error in leaving their D-Tectors behind while in the Digital World? Ravenna didn't mind at first, but now she was getting kind of anxious. Cho says that Theramon wouldn't hurt them, and the worst Sherry would do is add to their bill.
"You're right. I don't know if I've felt this safe in the Digital World before. This spa is just what I needed."
Cho tells Ravenna about when she had gotten into a battle of sounds.
"Pippitymon-, P-Pipismon? Good thing you are a sound bird."
When Theramon revealed that magical hair growth was an option, Cho was delighted. She could have her hair longer. Though she would still have to keep it short enough to more easily wear her wigs. Had Theramon used mind controlling shampoo before? Cho jokes about that being great for business. Ravenna starts cracking up, and Theramon chuckles.
"Hmm, hmm, don't let Sherry hear that. That girl is crazy when it comes to money. Sharp as a whip, and efficient though."
Ravenna smiles when she sees Cho's hair grow. What sort of style was she going for? Theramon gets to work cutting and styling both girls, alternating between the two. Theramon dyes Ravenna's hair and wraps it up. She escorts her over to the dryer. The chairs with the hair dryers also double as spa chairs, as there is a massage feature and foot bath for pedicures. Whether or not Cho goes with hair dye, Theramon would lead her over to the chair next to Raye for the pedicures. An annoyed Renamon comes out and prepares the foot baths.
"We'll let your hair dry for a while. What nail polish colors were you ladies thinking of going with?" "Gotta go with purple for me. What about you, Cho? Pink?" "Pink would be a good choice. We've also got hot pink, and electric pink." _____________
Meanwhile, Sherry escorts the hostile LadyDevimon to her boss' office. There is a desk and a swivel chair facing away from the door.
"Excuse me, but it seems some valuables in some lockers have gone missing." "I see. The Goddess Resort and Spa is not responsible for lost or stolen items."
LadyDevimon throws a dark dagger across the room, slicing open a few bottles of scented lotion. The boss in the swivel chair turns around, revealing a Kunemon.
"Hey! Those were my personal beauty care products."
Kunemon looks up at the dark angel.
"Bwah! You're not Ravenna."
Sherry strikes a disturbing glance at her boss Kunemon.
"What do you, mean, you're not Ravenna?! Did you have something to do with this?"
"Argh! Well I guess the gig is up now. Yes, Sherry. I did break into those lockers. But that's because I hate that stupid crow girl. She tried to ruin my beautiful face! I am Kunemon the Magnificent! Our CEO is out of town, and while he's gone, I'm in charge of the whole resort and spa."
"I don't care for your titles, your spa, or your face. Just give me the raven figurines you had inside. Otherwise I will burn this resort to the ground."
"Hey, easy now. Only I know where the ravens are at right now. We should make a deal, lady. If you help me, I will give you the ravens."
"Hmph. Alright, I guess I can play along. Don't think you can order me around like you do this corporate drone." "The nerve..."

Yes, the spa was perfectly safe. Of course it was. And Cho is relaxed. Oh so relaxed she is. So this nervous feeling can not possibly be real. Nope, not at all. She must be picking up on her new friend Raye's temporary worries.
"yeah, I was definitely lucky," Cho admits as she looks back on her battle against Pipismon. "I was the perfect counter. That allowed the Tamer to get good hits in while I did my best blocking with my own sounds. She... was interesting but don't wanna gossip!"
Cho's 'mind control shampoo' joke seems to be a hit! "hehe, yeah... she sees pretty good at her job. Don't want to give her too many ideas! What's next, toll-booth exits? But this place is reasonably priced, especially for how great it is. And how great you are!"
As Cho's hair grows, the rest of the world shrinks away. She could have her own long hair. Her hair didn't have to be short. She was so used to her short hair she was no longer embarrassed by it, and kinda liked it short, but deep down, she knew she wanted it longer. And now she can.
"Huh? What? Did you say something? I um... I have no idea what style I want... I've never had the luxury of deciding. I trust you, Theramon."
Ooh, a foot massager built in to the hair drying seat! This place had everything. Cho tenses and twitches at first, but soon her feet relax like the rest of her did during the massage. "Pink would be perfect, thank you."
Such a relaxing day. It is a shame it will end soon.
Because they're almost done, of course. Not because of anything bad.

"It sounds like you would be pretty useful in battle. Defense is important."
Ravenna and Theramon enjoyed talking to Cho. She makes a joke about toll-booth exits and praises the masseuse. Theramon giggles and hides her mouth with two of her hair tentacles. "Oh my, Cho, you are just an angel. Toll-booths. I can't remember when I had this much fun at work before." "Ya Cho, your cheerfulness completes the spa experience."
Cho's hair would grow longer. It was different seeing her look change so drastically in a moment. Both her and Ravenna have hair down past their shoulders before Theramon starts cutting. Cho didn't really have a style in mind, making it barber's choice. Or is it barberess?" "I think I know just the thing."
Theramon dyes Cho's hair pink, and cuts it straight and gives her bangs. She leaves it somewhat long in the back, but Cho should have no problem with her wigs. Similar to this style The squid dyes Ravenna's hair purple and leaves it longer than it was before. Similar to this styleWhile relaxing in the spa chairs getting their hair dried, Renamon starts working on their pedicures. Cho pinks out pick, I mean picks out pink. She is good at rocking that color. Ravenna soaks her feet in the warm water. After Renamon starts with Cho, she goes over to Ravenna. Renamon adds bubbles and starts rubbing her feet. After scraping the dead skin off of her heels, she turns her attention to her toes. While they are getting their pedicures, Theramon turns off the hair dryers and starts peeling the foil off. She sprays Cho and Ravenna's hair with herbal remedies and starts brushing with her hair tentacles. When she is done, Theramon holds up two mirrors around each girl to give them a view from a few angles. "What do you think? I can always change it.""I think it looks great! Ah, Cho, your hair is so cute!"
Ravenna runs her fingers through her hair. "Mmm, it's so soft, and smells like lavender. You are amazing, Theramon!" "Thank you. I'm going to look into getting you two a discount on spa packages so you can come back more often." "Oh, that sounds nice. Maybe we'll come back every few months, even if just for a haircut. Though I don't think we could resist the sauna or the massages."
Renamon continues working on their feet. Ravenna takes a sip of her smoothie, drinking the rest of it. "Oh, it's all gone now. Where is Sherry when you need her?"

"Defense is incredibly important to me! Very very very much more than fighting is!" Cho almost seems... proud. "If I was by myself, I would have died. But... this Tamer and her two Digimon were helping, and in trouble. We needed to help each other. And it worked!"
Theramon and Raye compliment and flatter Cho. "Awwww... you're so sweet... I just like everyone being happy, that's all! You are great!"
Cho's hair grows to her amazement, and once she finally sees it pinked out and lengthened, she gasps loudly. "That's... that's my hair... that's my hair... that's my hair! Thank you thank you thankyouthankyouthankyou!"
Every part of Cho feels not just good, not just amazing, but perfect! It was as if the Spa Goddesses were giving her a part of their divinity. "My hair is cute, isn't it? Yours too! I feel... wonderful. Thank you Raye, for taking me here, you were right. You... are a wonderful friend."

Cho mentions how she worked together with a Tamer and her two Digimon in a battle together.
"It's always better to have someone on your side when you stumble into a battle."
The now pink haired girl is ecstatic with her new hairdo. She thanks Theramon repeatedly, acting much more hyper than Ravenna has in a long time. How come she couldn't get that excited about anything? It would have gotten on her nerves, but Cho is just so dang cute that Raye can't help but feel happy.
The Spa Goddess was smiling on the two Spirit User bird girls. Cho agrees that her hair is cute, and returns the compliment to Raye. The now purple haired track athlete blushes and smiles. Cho thanks her for taking her here, and says that she is a wonderful friend.
"Thank you, I think I'm going to like the new style. Although it probably means more work." "No one ever said beauty comes without a price."
"True. I'm happy we came here together Cho. You think I'm a wonderful friend? Well, coming from you that means a lot. You are the wonderful friend. I haven't always been a good friend before."
Ravenna thinks back about some of the times she spent with her friends in the past. She hasn't even reached her 20th birthday yet, and she's met so many people over the years. Yet for one reason or another, friends go their separate ways. She had lost contact with most of her friends from high school after moving to the big city. Her best friend Misty has been with her through the good times and the bad. Cho reminds Raye of Misty, but without all the craziness of her long time bestie.
Then there was Kyou. Ravenna had been friends with him for years, but their friendship came to an end when Ravenna started dating someone. Kyou always had a crush on her, and Raye wasn't sure she wanted to be in a relationship with him. Ravenna feels bad about what happened, and she still had some feelings for Kyou. Was it too late for them to be friends again?
"There's a lot of great people I've known, but it seems like people are only part of your life for a certain amount of time, before moving on to different things. That's why I'm glad to have met someone so nice, that I have a lot in common with, Cho. I hope we get to do lots of fun things together, like going to spas. I don't think the malls are ready for our eventual shopping spree together."
Ravenna reminisces about the past, and enjoys spending time with Cho. Renamon finishes painting their toenails, and Raye smiles with delight at the new coat of purple. It was almost the same shade as her hair. However, the good times were coming to an end.
Suddenly Ravenna feels uneasy, as a dark shadow is cast over the doorway. She can hear chains dragging across the floor. LadyDevimon marches into the beauty salon, followed soon after by Sherry holding Kunemon in her arms. Ravenna's eyes widen as she is startled by this dark presence appearing.
"Hey, what's going on? Wait, is that Kunemon?!" "That's Kunemon the Magnificent to you, bird lady. Get her!"
LadyDevimon dashes across the room and grabs Ravenna with her claws. She lifts Raye in the air and clenches down tightly around her neck. The dark mistress holds Ravenna up to her face, as the track athlete's feet dangle off the ground.
"It's nothing personal, just my business."
Lady Devimon slams Ravenna down on the floor. She lays there on her back, struggling to breathe as the pain flows through her body. LadyDevimon lifts her back up and throws her across the room. Ravenna crashes into the wall and falls to the floor. Kunemon smirks with glee seeing his former enemy humiliated and beaten.
"Oh yes! Take that, Ravenna! Mess with me and pay the price."
Theramon is shocked. Who was this dark mistress, and why does Kunemon have a grudge against Raye? Sherry could only hang her head and frown as Kunemon gets his revenge. The yellow bug turns his attention to Cho.
"Hey you! Looks like you got caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now come with us, or you'll be next!" "Kunemon, you can't treat our guests like this!" "Silence! I'm in charge here."
LadyDevimon glares at Cho with her blood red eyes. And just like that, this relaxing spa experience had turned into a nightmare.

"Everything's better when you have someone by your side." That is Cho's philosophy. It is what she lives by. Raye could probably tell this by the intensity of the emotions in her eyes. "Making each other happy, helping each other, keeping each other strong... it is great to have friends."
Beauty does not come without a price. Cho understands to an extent. While she does not consider herself beautiful, she definitely has a lot of upkeep on her appearances. And now with her new hair... "Yeah... the hair is totally worth it though."
How could someone as sweet as Raye have possibly been bad at friendship? "You sound like you've had a difficult past. I don't know how your friendship life has been, but it probably wasn't all your fault. Even if it was only a little bit your fault, that little bit is probably gone. I bet whatever friends you've had or almost had, you could remake those friendships or bring new ones. And I'm sure we'll be going on lots of spa and mall-related adventures."
At first, Cho does not recognize the danger LadyDevimon poses. "Are you here for a spa day too, or do you... work... here..." That bad feeling. Her. She was the bad feeling Cho had. "...oh. Perhaps.. you're just here to say hi? Eheheh..."
She was not here just to say hi. Cho flinches and grimaces as LadyDevimon slams and smashes and throws Ravenna around. "Raye, no! Wh-why are you doing this?" Her hands curl up into fists, as she glares at the Kunemon and the LadyDevimon. "You.... you...!"
She then realizes just how vulnerable she is. Cho is in nothing but a robe - almost practically naked. She does not have any fighting skills. And worst of all, she is separated from her D-Tector! What could she possibly do? "What do you want? Who are you? ...Promise me you won't hurt anyone else and I'll come with you. I don't care what happens to me."

Cho and Raye have very similar philosophies. Though Ravenna was more of a lone wolf at times, often irritated when things get stressful. Ravenna knew that in order to look good, it would require effort. It wasn't always fun doing her hair every morning, and other than her shades of darker makeup like violet eyeshadow, Ravenna wasn't that experienced with different kinds of makeup. She was just glad to have a new hair style.
When talking about friendships, Cho gives Raye some encouragement. Ravenna smiles when the pink haired girl mentions their future mall related shenanigans.
"It's not always easy losing friends. Sometimes people just move on. You start going to a new school, or take up a new hobby, and you make friends. Then down the line you might not see those people again. It's just how life is, I guess. I'm glad our friendship already feels special, Cho."
Everything changed when LadyDevimon entered the picture. Cho wasn't sure what the devil lady was doing here. Is she a guest? Does she work here? Maybe she just really likes spas and salons. Ravenna hears Cho call out to her after she is sent flying across the room. She slowly looks up as she struggles to rise. It was difficult to keep her robe closed. Without her D-Tector, the fabric was her only line of defense against the dark mistress' ghastly nails.
"Argh, leave us alone you creep."
As stressed out as Ravenna was that this Ultimate level had ruined their spa day, she is also concerned about Cho. They both were without their D-Tectors, and they had no partners to protect them like Tamers. Raye realizes that their only option is to go with the demon.
"Both of you, get going before I really start to get angry."
Kunemon cackles with delight. His enemy Ravenna was suffering greatly. The narcissistic little bug didn't even care that Cho had gotten caught in the crossfire of his vendetta. Cho agrees to go with them so long as they don't hurt anyone again.
"Alright, if you cooperate and do what you are told, I will not attack you again." "What? No, rough them up some more. Make Ravenna suffer!" "Do you want my help or not, you obnoxious little pest?!" "Okay, okay! Get moving, girls."
There wasn't much choice in the matter. Ravenna slowly walks back over to LadyDevimon. The demon grabs her by the arm and pulls her along. Ravenna looks up at Sherry with disappointment in her eyes. Sherry gives her a look of remorse. There wasn't much the brunette could to do stop this. LadyDevimon takes the girls back over to the sauna.
"Open the door, Sherry!"
Sherry pulls open the door, and LadyDevimon drags Ravenna inside before pushing Cho in.
"Now you think about what you've done, Ravenna." "I didn't do anything but trust a little worm like you."
LadyDevimon smirks and slowly closes the door.
"Sherry, lock them in there!" "Do this, do that, stop barking orders at me."
"Silence! You have to listen to me. Now then, we're going to get the owner of the resort on the phone, and discuss putting me in change of everything. Then I'm going to be pampered like a God, and become even more handsome than I already am, if that is at all possible."
Sherry locks the door, and they walk away, as Raye and Cho are stuck in the sauna. It wasn't as nice this time. After a half hour in here, and they could be seriously dehydrated from the steam. Ravenna sits down on the bench, hanging her head and letting her shoulders droop.
"I'm sorry, Cho. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be in this mess."

Today was going so well. Cho met a new friend, got to go to the spa, and found out the Digital World had neat places and people. "Well... now with the internet, you can keep in contact with friends from far away." Losing friendships was rough, but now it was easier to hang onto them, something Cho is grateful for. "And... I'm glad our friendship exists. I will not let it be lost."
Today was going so well. And then LadyDevimon and Kunemon decided to show up and ruin everything. For every beacon of light in the world, why did there have to be a caster of shadows? The situation seems hopeless. Cho's normally bright eyes filled with hope turn dull with hopelessness. Wordlessly, she follows LadyDevimon, and is locked with Ravenna in the sauna. What once gave her great relaxation now gave her infinite stress.
"You're right," Cho responds to Raye. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here. I wouldn't have gone to the spa. I wouldn't have been locked up with a friend, and instead probably would have died in some desert, or eaten by a wild Digimon, or something. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have made a friend in the Digital World. I'm clueless, hopeless, and helpless in this world, and would have been friendless. If this is it, at least I got to spend my last day at the spa with a friend, instead of out in the wild completely lost and afraid."

From guests at a spa to prisoners of a femme fatale and a vain bug with an out of control ego. From relaxing sauna to hot cell. Talk about a 180. Ravenna waits until they are inside the sauna to continue their conversation about friendships. Cho had mentioned how with the internet, it is easier to stay in touch with friends. Cho says that she is grateful for their new friendship, and says that she won't let it be lost.
"You're right, there are a few friends that I stay in contact with on social media, but it's not really my thing. Plus everyone has their own lives going on, and it seems like people try to show off too much. I want our friendship to last too. I have had so much fun with you, up until the evil chick and that jerk Kunemon caused trouble. That's probably why my spa package was upgraded, to give Kunemon more time to steal our things."
Ravenna looks down in sadness.
"We only just got those figurines, and now Kunemon has his stubby little legs on them."
When they were being taken away, it was the first time that Raye had seen Cho so sad. And understandably so. Even if Ravenna didn't expect this to happen, she still feels guilty for getting Cho involved. Cho mentions how if it wasn't for Raye, she wouldn't be here, but then goes on to mention that she might of suffered a darker fate, perishing out in some dangerous area of the Digital World.
"You're amazing, Cho. Even when things are at their darkest, you still find some positivity. Although I don't think that you give yourself enough credit. I think that you can look after yourself just fine. You made it this far, until you met me and I screwed up everything."
Maybe Ravenna is being too hard on herself. As they sit in the sauna, the track athlete starts getting hotter, and hotter. All they had to wear were their robes, which didn't keep them as cool as the towels did before. Ravenna opens up the robe a bit and fans her chest trying to cool off. She sprays herself with the squirt bottle.
"Gosh, it's just so hot in here. Once today was enough. I don't know how long I can stand the heat. Do you mind if I pull the robe down and go topless? It is a sauna after all."
Meanwhile, Kunemon is in his office with LadyDevimon, making threats over the phone trying to pressure the owner to give him control of the entire resort. Sherry is going over some reports for Kunemon at the front desk. Theramon approaches the brunette with a look of concern.
"You're not going to let that creep get away with this, are you? Innocent people are at risk. Ravenna is rough around the edges, but I can tell that she has a good heart. And Cho is just a ball of sunshine and niceness. How can you let Kunemon lock them up?"
"What other choice do I have? If I don't listen, I risk losing my job. Besides, LadyDevimon will choke me if I don't follow orders."
"Well I don't like what's happening here. There has to be something we can do."
LadyDevimon comes walking down the hall. The dark mistress glares at the squid masseuse before directing her gaze at Sherry.
"You there, Kunemon wishes to speak with you." "Oh, okay. Let me just finish organizing some things." "Hurry up! Don't make me tell you again." "Y-yes, right away."
Sherry gets up and rushes down the hall as fast as she can move in her heels. LadyDevimon follows behind Sherry. Theramon sighs and returns to the salon to clean up. Was there anything that they could do to save the two girls?

Why did Cho and Raye both have to be Spirit Users? If they were Tamers, their Digimon could help out. If they were regular people, they would be at a human spa, with no devil lady or giant mean bug. Instead, they are nearly naked, without the power of their Spirits.
Cho is amazing? She scoffs at the thought. "I'm nothing special," she says solemnly, "as much as I try to be. I don't even know who or what I am or want to be. I'm just trying to make the world -er, worlds - a better place by making happiness spread. Making someone happy makes them treat others better and make others happy. And survival? I know nothing about that! My first two Digimon encounters, now three with you, have been alongside new friends. If I met an enemy on my own, I wouldn't have had time to figure out how to Spirit Evolve."
The heat was getting to both of them, it seems. Before Raye could even finish her question about removing her robe, Cho had dropped her own onto her legs. Now there was nothing covering the top half of her, except the moisture clinging to her body. "Yeah... too hot in here for these robes. I don't think this will help too much longer though... but we gotta hold on. Maybe Sherry and Theramon will save us. Theramon's a sweetheart, and Sherry is pretty clever - at least that's what Theramon said. Just gotta hang in there and hope. Never let go of hope."
After all, hope was all they had left.

Maybe it wasn't such a great idea going to a spa in the Digital World. They would have been much safer if they found one back in the city.
"Argh, curse you Piddomon for recommending this spa! We wouldn't be in this mess if it wasn't for him. But, then again, I probably never would have met you, Cho. Why do we have to take the bad with the good?"
Cho doesn't think that she is special. She explains how she wants to make people happy, and how whenever she was in danger before, there was always someone else there.
"That's why you are special, because you care about others. I guess I've been lucky enough so far. There's been more times I've been in danger than I can remember. My friend Kiyoko was there to help me when I started out, but every battle could be the last."
Before Ravenna could finish asking if it was okay that she go topless in front of Cho, the pink haired girl dropped her robes down. So it was okay after all. Raye pulls her arms out of the sleeves and lets the robe fall to her waist. It was still getting way too hot. Cho mentions that maybe Sherry and Theramon would come to the rescue.
"I hope so, and soon. Your positive attitude is helping. Phew, I can't remember the last time I was this hot. I like taking hot baths, but even I know when it's time to cool off. At least our pores are doing well."
Meanwhile, Sherry and LadyDevimon return to Kunemon's office.
"Ah, Sherry. I need you to check up on the prisoners. We can't have them passing out in there." "What did Ravenna do to you to deserve this kind of treatment?"
"You wouldn't know, you weren't there. Ravenna is mean, and she questioned my leadership. You better not make the same mistake. She even slapped my handsome face! Once I become in charge of the resort, I'll let Cho go, so long as she doesn't mention my genius plan. Then I'm going to make Ravenna my intern, and work her body down to the bones!"
"Hmph. And people think I'm malevolent. When are you going to give me the figurines?" "In due time, baby, in due time." "Don't call me baby again, or I'll turn your stinger inside out." "Ahh! Okay, okay. The owner is on his way to sign over the resort. Then you can have your stupid little birds. Sherry! Get back to work!"
Sherry storms out of the office. She has had enough of her boss. She grabs some supplies and heads to the sauna. Sherry unlocks the door and steps inside. Ravenna is shocked to see Sherry and covers her chest with her arms.
"Sherry! What the hell are you doing in here?" "Ah, Ravenna, Cho, I wasn't expecting you two to be topless. I-I just came here to give you some supplies."
Sherry averts her gaze and sets the supplies down on the bench. There is some prepackaged food, bottles of water, and some small towels. Sherry covers her eyes with her hands.
"I'm sorry about this. Kunemon is driving me crazy." "How can you work for that creep?! I can't believe you would play a part in this trap." "But, I don't want to see you two suffer. I was just following orders. It's not my fault that my bosses are always corrupt."
Ravenna might be too hard on Sherry. It wasn't like she tricked them. Sherry was just an unwilling pawn in Kunemon's schemes. Maybe Cho could calm Ravenna down.

"Once we get out of here, I want to personally thank Piddomon for recommending this spa." Cho smiles weakly, trying to hold it together. Her slight tremors betray her, however. "Meeting you was one of the greatest moments of my life. The world comes in both bad and good, so we gotta make the good stronger than the bad, right?"
Cho's weak smile breaks, and is replaced by a frown. "But... being nice shouldn't make me special. It should make me normal. Is kindness really that rare in the world that a small token of kindness is super-valuable currency?" And all this danger... what kind of life had Ravenna lived? "I'm glad you're okay... sounds like you had it rough."
Cho and Ravenna may be half-naked, but there's no embarrassment or shame on Cho's part. She's too busy keeping things together and trying not to freak out. Surely someone would save them. Someone like Theramon or...
"Sherry!" Cho hops up, slightly wobbly from the heat but more excited. Her robe almost falls off her lower half, but when seeing Sherry's reaction, she catches it before it slips down. It then dawns upon her the awkwardness of the situation. "N-nobody look!" She quickly re-robes. "S-sorry Sherry."
After the embarrassment (though now Cho would not look at Raye until she also puts her robe back on), Cho smiles excitedly. "You came to rescue us!"
However, Raye makes a good point. "You know," Cho gently berates Sherry, "the 'just following orders' excuse isn't a very good one. What if I was an assassin hired to kill you? I doubt 'just following orders' would make you feel better. But... I can't be mad, you came back for us!"

"Make the good stronger than the bad... Ya, more of the good stuff, less of the bad."
Cho's positive attitude is the only thing keeping Ravenna from putting her head through a wall in a fit of rage. Her frustration with Kunemon and his cruelty were dialed up. Meeting Raye was one of the greatest moments of Cho's life? Ravenna couldn't help but grin and blush as her eyes sparkle. Cho found it disturbing how niceness seems to be a rarity in Ravenna's social circle.
"Well, kindness isn't exactly uncommon. It's just that the times when people do cause trouble seem to drown out the rest. Rough? No, I shouldn't be complaining. Besides a few jerks here and there like Kunemon, my life has been great. Not everyone is so cruel and hateful for no reason like back in high school."
Ravenna tried not to look down at the topless pink haired young lady. Raye is a bit older than Cho, and had the larger bust between the two. What really freaked Ravenna out is when Sherry came in the sauna. While Raye quickly covered up, Cho almost got more naked before pulling her robe back up. Ravenna pulls her robe back up as well, embarrassed and hoping Sherry didn't see anything.
"My apologies. Again, I wasn't expecting to see you two like this." "You could have knocked, you know?" "You are being held captive here, I don't really think knocking is an issue."
Cho wasn't down with Sherry's excuse of just following orders. The hypothetical of Cho being an assassin makes Ravenna chuckle. Sherry's shoulders droop as she frowns. She looks down at the floor in a moment of silence before answering.
"No, I guess it's not a good reason. But I didn't come here to save you. I guess you are disappointed." "Disappointed is an understatement. You're nothing more than a lackey, a follower, with no moral code or values. All you care about is how you are affected."
"Ravenna, that's not fair..."
Raye was crossing the line with some of her insults. Was Sherry really that bad of a person? Still, there was some truth to what she was saying. Sherry feels the sting from Ravenna's criticisms. The brunette looks over at Ravenna with a look of determination in her eyes.
"Maybe there is something I can do. I'll be right back."
Sherry exits the sauna and relocks the door before rushing off to Kunemon's office. Meanwhile, LadyDevimon is getting irritated playing the role of Kunemon's enforcer. Theramon comes up to her and offers the princess of darkness a nice massage. After some hesitation, LadyDevimon agrees to try it out. Theramon takes the dark mistress over to the room with the massage tables and her tentacles get to work. With LadyDevimon distracted, Sherry could make her move. If her plan works, Cho and Ravenna would be getting out of the sauna in no time.
Ravenna sulks back on the bench, as sweat runs down her face. This was like an endurance test. She fans herself, ineffectively trying to cool off. She brushes her hair out of her eyes and leans back, letting out a sigh. The stress is making her muscles tense up. She spreads her legs and her robe opens up a bit in the middle, revealing her pale thighs. If this was a way to lose weight, Ravenna would be skin and bones by the time they get out of the sauna.
"I never thought I could be so uncomfortable in a sauna. My skin is getting irritated from the sweat. If I ever get my hands on that bug, oh, I'm going to pop his ugly, stupid little head off his body."

"Never," Cho says almost forcefully, "ever, EVER let the bad drown out the good!" Her eyes shine with intensity but no anger as she leans in a bit. "Let one good thing outweigh ten bad things. Remember the good, always. And... let the past be the past. Whatever unkindness happened in high school for you, know that you are better than that unkindness, and that there's still good out there."
Wait... so... Sherry wasn't here to rescue them? Cho tenses and glares at her, squeezing her robe against her. "Then why... why did you come here? And if you are 'just following orders' and don't see how that's wrong, then what about what Raye said is unfair?" She then looks at the food and water, and her gaze softens. "At least you were kind enough to do something... it sounds more like your problem is you're scared. Well... we're scared too, and we're their targets. Imagine how we feel. Put yourself in our sh- oh." She giggles, then continues. "Put yourself in our lack of shoes. I'm doing the same for you. You're out there, being ordered around, not knowing what will happen. It must be terrifying. But we have no guarantee that when this is over, we're still going to be alive. You work here. You're needed here. That Kunemon hates Raye, and I'm her friend."
Cho sighs, shaking her head and laughing softly. "How ironic. After all this stress, I'm going to need to go to a spa."
