A Broken Watch

## Introduction

**Sharla:** Come on, come on... Where is it?

**Shulk:** You OK, Sharla?

**Sharla:** ... Aha! Found it! My pocket watch! And still in one piece... more or less.

**Shulk: *[It’s a beautiful watch.]*** The design is so elaborate. I’ve never seen one like it. So this is yours?

**Sharla:** Yes. It was my father’s. He gave it to me before he died.

**Shulk:** It’s nice. But why was it here?

**Sharla:** I think I dropped it here when we evacuated the colony. Otharon must have found it.

**Shulk:** I can tell he looked after it. Does it still work?

**Sharla:** No. From the looks of things, it stopped when I dropped it.

**Shulk: *[I can fix it!]*** If we could just get our hands on an ether battery, I could fix it.

**Sharla:** Really? That would be amazing, Shulk!

**Shulk:** I can fix anything, no problem! The people at Colony 9 were always coming to me to fix things.

**Sharla:** You’re so kind, Shulk. You don’t know how much this watch means to me. I’ll never forget how happy I was when my father gave it to me.

**Shulk:** I can tell you cherish it. I hope I can make it work again. And if you need me to repair anything else, just ask!

**Sharla:** I’ll let you know, Shulk. Thank you so much.

**Shulk: *[It’s ticked its last tock.]*** It’s a really rare kind of watch. I’m sorry, Sharla. I don’t know if I can fix this.

**Sharla:** Are you sure? I thought you were good at repairing stuff.

**Shulk:** Kinda. But not that good. Hold on a second. There might be one way. If we had an ether battery maybe...

**Sharla:** Leave it to me. I’ll find one. Will you fix it for me then? It’s a family heirloom, you see. My father gave it to me, and I’d be heartbroken if you couldn’t.

**Shulk:** It sounds like a big deal to you, so I’ll do everything I can. With any luck you’ll get your watch back.

**Sharla:** Oh, thank you so much, Shulk! I knew you wouldn’t let me down.

**Shulk: *[It’s kind of dirty.]*** In fact, the face is all cracked and you can’t even see the time.

**Sharla:** Oi, careful what you say! It’s not a piece of junk!

**Shulk:** S-sorry, Sharla. What’s it doing here though?

**Sharla:** When we ran from the colony, I must have dropped it. Otharon probably picked it up.

**Shulk:** You know, this thing looks kind of expensive. ***[Was it a present from someone?]***

**Sharla:** Yes. My father gave it to me before he... passed away.

**Shulk:** I’m sorry. It must mean a lot to you.

**Sharla:** It’s all I have to remember him by.

**Shulk:** Lucky you found it. It’s just a shame it’s not working.

**Sharla:** A big shame. But at least I’ve got it back.

**Shulk:** Wait! If I had an ether battery, I think I might be able to fix it!

**Sharla:** You could?! Don’t joke with me. Can you really fix it?

**Shulk:** You can’t just get them anywhere, but that’s all I really need. If you want it fixed, leave it to me!

**Sharla:** Wow... I can’t thank you enough, Shulk. And I’m sure it’ll make Juju happy as well.

**Shulk:** You know, this thing looks kind of expensive. ***[You should sell it!]*** I bet you’d make a fortune!

**Sharla:** Let me be clear, Shulk. I could never, ever sell this watch!

**Shulk:** I-I didn’t mean to offend you.

**Sharla:** This watch was given to me by my dying father. It’s very important to me.

**Shulk:** I’m sorry. I wouldn’t have suggested that if I’d realised.

**Sharla:** It’s fine. Forget it. It probably can’t be fixed anyway.

**Shulk:** Hold on. I reckon I can fix it. All I need is an ether battery.

**Sharla:** Really? You can fix this?

**Shulk:** Just leave it to me, Sharla! Back in Colony 9, I was the best repairman around!

**Sharla:** Then I’ll leave it in your capable hands. Thanks, Shulk!
