//------------------------------// // Twilight goes and buys a Smart Watch // Story: 26 Short Stories of EQG // by TPC-2k16 //------------------------------// "Oh my gosh. Can you believe what we're looking at?!" "Uh, what exactly am I looking at?" "What you are looking at is the brand new, sixth generation SunLight Smart Watch Plus!" "Oh. Okay." Today, at Canterlot City Mall's SunLight store, Twilight and Sunset Shimmer had come today (mainly it was Twilight who wanted to come today) to check out and see the latest version of the SunLight smart watch, this one being the sixth generation in the line of the SunLight smart watches. "Say Twilight, don't take this the wrong way or anything, but don't you have, like, all the other previous versions of this? I guess what I'm saying is, why do you feel the need to buy the latest generation every time one comes out?" "Why?" Twilight brings out her phone, opening up to where her notes are. Looking for the exact notes she'd taken about this particular smart watch for this particular moment . "This is no ordinary smart watch. At least, not like the SunLight Smart Watch Five Plus. For you see, the five plus was moderately slow, in terms of SL chip. Whereas the six plus is reportedly supposed to be way faster with the introduction of the brand new SL6 plus chip. Plus not to mention how this can monitor your blood pressure, and comes in 44 mm with aluminum/plastic casting. Oh, and it can correctly tell the time right." Twilight giggles to herself at the last part. "Uh..." Sunset just scratches the back of her head in confusion. "So, how much is this thing anyway?" "Only three hundred and fifty bits. Compared to the third generation, way less costly! And I'm also not counting out all the accessories to come with it. "Three hundred and fifty bits?! Where in the wide, wide world of Equestria do you have that kind of money?!" "Uh, well I'm definitely not taking knitting lessons from Rarity so I can knit small cat sized booties that I can then sell to the Canterlot City Cats'' Lovers Club. Nope, definitely not." "Right." "Well, we better get a move on." Twilight grabs one of the boxes that contains the smart watch off the shelf. Then walking on over to the checkout line, whether Sunset wants to or not. "Oh, okay. Guess I'll see ya at the food court." *** After fifteen minutes of waiting in line, it's finally Twilight's turn, having on a big, bright smile. Happy that she got what she wanted. "Can you believe I'm about to get the latest in SunLight technology?!" Twilight excitedly says, placing the box on the checkout counter. "It's just so grand!" "Uh huh. Real interesting." The deadbeat, late twenty year old cashier said... deadbeatingly. Him scanning the box and punching in the correct amount needed. "That'll be three hundred and seventy-five bits." Twilight takes her card out from her purse, then inserting the card's chip into the chip reader, removing it once the machine says so. "Would you like it bagged, ma'am?" The cashier said deadbeatingly as the receipt spews out a mile long. "No thank you." Twilight says as she grabs her newest smart watch, getting the at least one mile long receipt, and heading on out of the SunLight store. Off to the food court to show the rest of her friends her latest purchase.
