//------------------------------// // Chapter 9: Return of the Spectrometer // Story: Kaptain Komasan and Komajiro, and the Equestra Girls // by Pinkie Pie Sweets //------------------------------// The next day, The two yo-kai brothers who are disguise as human and the girls are at Twilight's house so they can see how the spectrometer construction is doing. Plus, they also like to go do some activities later. As the girls, and boys are in the livign room, they are having some snacks, while Twilight is holding the spectrometer in her hand, everyone are having snacks. "So Twilight, your house looks very nice," Komasan complements. "Yeah. It's simple, but feels relaxing," Komajiro adds. "Thank you," Twilight replies with a smile. The girls and the two brothers are enjoying their snacks and drinks. As they enjoy themselves, Spike the small puppy who can talk runs downstairs and all the way to the others. "Spike happily says, "Hey Twilight, how are you and the others doing?" "We're doing fine, Spike," Twilight answers. Komasan and Komajiro are shocked to see that the little dog is talking. "Komasan surosungly says, "Golly Twilight, I… I didn't know your dog can talk." "Yeah. It's kind of a long story, it's related to the Friendship Games incident," Twilight shyly answers. Komajiro comes over to Spike and says, "Um, hello Spike, my name is Komajiro." "And I'm Komasan," Komasan shyly replies. Spike turns to the brothers with a smile and says, "Oh you two must be the brothers I've been told about. It's very nice to meet you, my name is Spike and I'm Twilight's dog." Spike barks, and asks, "Do you two wanna play tug a war with my rope?" "Sure," The two brothers answer with glee. Spike leaves the room so he can get one of his toys. While he is gone, Twilight and the others think it will be a good idea to discuss about the spectrometer and it's progress. Applejack asks, "So how is your device going?" "The spectrometer is actually looking great. Sunset and I were able to finish it just last night," Twilight answers. Komasan turns to Twilight, and asks, "Can we see it?" "Sure, and we also add some improvements to it, so it won't go absorbing every magic in sight," Twilight answers. "Good call," Rainbow remarks Twilight then puts the spectrometer on the table so that Komasan and Komajiro can see it. The two brothers can see that the spectrometer looks like a dark purple pocket watch with blue stripes all over it with has a center. From the looks of it, the device seems very interesting, and wonder how it can help them get back home. "Golly, that device of yours is sure is pertie," Komasan says looking amazed. Komajiro touches the device, and says, "Looks like a large version of a pocket watch." "It kind of is, only this one doesn't tell time," Pinkie says with a grin on her face. Then Komajiro asks, "Remind me again what that thing is supposed to do." "Well, the device is supposed to collect the e.m frequency or Equestrian magic into it. However, after an incident at the Friendship Games it absorbed the magic from the portal and caused it to when every absorbs, magic opens more portals," Twilight explains. The two yo-kai brothers look a bit confused about the purpose of the device. "Sounds a bit complicated to me," Komasan says. "Me too," Komajiro agrees. Sunset giggles a bit as she says, "It's okay if you can't understand the details. Besides, it's the results is what you two will be benefiting from Twilight's new improved spectrometer." "What do you mean, y'all?" Komajiro asks. "If it works and improved, we can absorb some of our magic, and a bit of the portal's magic to get the magic we need. Then you two will touch it, and it can help you two get home," Sunset explains. Komasan says with amazement, "That sounds amazing." "Like one of those teleportation device," Komajiro adds. However Twilight sadly says, "But there is one small problem." "What is it, Twilight?" Fluttershy asks. "Is it bad?" Rarity adds. Twilight rolls her eyes looking a bit unsure, as she answers, "Not bad, just complicated," "How come?" Komasan asks. Then Sunset steps in, and explains, "After Twilight and I looked at the spectrometer, we are able to get it operational, but it's only limited and can take a long time for the magic to charge itself or unable to be used again." After the explanation, the two are rather surprised to hear it, yet, they understand what the situation is, and there is a chance about the device might even work or not. "Sounds to me that like the it's a fifty fifty chance that the device will be able to get the two home," Applejack suspects. "Exactly!" Twilight replies. "That means we need to make sure the spectrometer works the first time," Rainbow suspects. "Right, we might get one shot at this before it can work again or not," Twilight says. Then Sunset says, "But don't worry, we'll make sure the device is not touched until then." The girls and the two brothers nods her heads meaning they agree to the idea. Then Komasan asks, "Okay, so what do we do now?" Applejack starts to think about the question, and says, "Well, since it might be our last day here, how about we do something fun?" "Good idea, but what?" Komajiro asks, yet agreeing to the idea. Then Pinkie suggests, "Well, maybe we can go to the arcade to play some games," "Maybe we can go out to lunch right after that," Fluttershy suggests. "And then we can go to the part and shot some hoops," Rainbow adds. Komasan looks a bit confused, and asks, "That's basket ball, right?" "Right," Rainbow answers. After the conversation, Spike comes down with his toy rope, and asks, "Okay who is ready for some tug a war?" The girls start laughing to see Spike is ready to play. Of course, they have to explain to Spike that they will be going out today, and he can come if he likes. Pinkie happily cheers, "Well what are we waiting for, let's go have some fun with our buddies before they get going!" With that, the girls, the two brothers, and the little dog, leave the house so they can do some activities together. First, they go to the arcade to play some games, win some prizes, and to do other activities at the arcade. After a good two hours of playing video games and other stuff, they stop to get some lunch at the food court at the mall. After lunch, they go play at the park, including basketball. The girls, the dog, and the two brothers, have been having a great time. Of course, they know that tomorrow they will have to say goodbye, but will still remain friends. After a long day they have, Applejack, Komasan, and Komajiro are at the acres and are getting ready to sleep for the night. After some time, Applejack and her family are already asleep, but the two brothers are still up. The two look out of the window to see the stars in the sky, and are glad to have spend their time with their new friends, but know that tomorrow they will be heading back home. "Boy that sure was a fun day we have," Komasan says with a smile. "I agree, I sure love hanging out with the girls," Komajiro agrees. Komajiro sighs a bit sadly, and says, "But I'm sure am going to miss them." "Me too brother, but we have to go back to our home eventually," Komasan replies. Komajiro nods his head and says, "Yeah. I sure wish there's a way they can remember us by." "I agree, but what?" Komasan asks. The two brothers start to think of a way on how the two brothers can remember them by. In fact, they like to do something with the girls before they have to get back home where they belong. Komasan has an idea, and suggests, "How about a photo or something like that?" "That could work," Komajiro agrees with a smile. Then Komasan suggests, "And then we can ask them if they can play for us before using the device too." "I'm down with that," Komajiro agrees. Komajiro let's out a yawn, and says, "Well it's time for us to hit the hay for the night." "Right, we got a very important day tomorrow," Komasan agrees. Feeling tired, Komasan and Komajiro decide to get some sleep for the night. They both get on to bed, put their leaves on the furniture, and tuck themselves in for the night. Before going to sleep, Komajiro tiredly says, "Night Komasan." "Good night, Komajiro," Komasan tiredly replies back. After saying goodnight to each other, the two brothers go on to sleep for the night. They know that tomorrow will be their last time to be with the girls before they have to leave. However, they are willing to do whatever it takes to make it last. They hope their time with the girls will be great, and exciting, and also fun.
