Nobody's POV
"I've done it!" Kowalski yelled, rushing out of his lab.
Rico and Skipper were engaged in a game of cards and Private was watching the Lunacorns.
"Done what exactly?" Skipper asked, his eyes not budging from the game.
"I've finally completed my newest invention!"
"Is this one going to destroy anything?"
"Not to worry Skipper, I've run every possible test. There is isn't even the slightest possibility of a malfunction."
Kowalski removed his flippers from behind his back and showed what he had hidden to his teammates.
"Behold! The Memory Enhancer!" Kowalski said in triumph.
The invention looked just like an ordinary bike helmet.
"What does it do?" Private asked.
"I'm glad you asked! The machine is designed to take any bad memories inside one's brain and morph it into a happy one. Of course there are many other things that it can do, but this is basically the jist of it."
Kowalski fit the machine onto his head and hit a few buttons that were on its side.
"Now that I've fit the device onto my cranium, I should be able to view each of my memories."
A small screen appeared in front of him.
"There we go. Now that I have selected a memory, the machine should start to work its magic."
After a few minutes of nothing, the team started to return back to what they were doing.
"That's odd. It should have done something by now."
Even more time passed and still nothing.
"Maybe I should run a few more tests." Kowalski said, returning to his lab.
Kowalski's POV
I walked inside of my lab and shut the door, not wanting to disturb the others.
"I don't understand. It should have worked!"
Just then the machine starting making a humming noise and soon after the screen popped back up with the words 'Enhancing 10%'.
"Eureka!" I yelled.
Well, now that it's working, I suppose I just have to wait.
Nobody's POV
"Skippah, do you think Kowalski is alright?" Private asked.
"Why wouldn't he be?"
"Well, he's been in there for some time. You'd think he would have found something by now."
"Let him be young Private. He's probably just caught up in his work."
Just then the three of them could hear an explosion from inside the lab.
"What in the name of Manfredi was that?!" Skipper yelled.
Skipper rushed to the lab door, followed by his two comrades. He opened the door and a wall of smoke came into the room.
"'Walski?" Rico called.
"Who there?"
They stepped inside the room and soon the smoke cleared out entirely. They noticed that Kowalski was cowering behind his lab table and that the machine lying on the floor, broken way beyond repair.
"What happened here soldier?" Skipper asked.
"I...I don't know." Kowalski answered, still cowering behind the table.
"Are you alright?" Private asked.
"Who are you?"
The three of them looked at each other and then back at the scientist.
"What are you talking about? You know who we are!"
"No I don't. I don't...remember anything."
Kowalski looked down at his flippers.
"Who am I?" He asked.
"Your name is Kowalski. I'm Skipper, this is Private, and this is Rico." Skipper said, motioning to his fellow teammates.
"What happened to me?"
"You are a scientist. You made an invention, but it must have malfunctioned. You must have suffered memory loss."
Kowalski was listening but he still didn't let any of them approach him. Rico got an idea.
"Me help 'Walski." Rico said.
"Fair enough soldier. At least get him to move away from the table."
Skipper led Private out of the lab and left Rico alone with his confused friend.
Rico started to walk towards him, but Kowalski whimpered like he was about to hurt him.
"Won't hurt you. Just want to help."
Rico kept moving closer until he was right in front of him. He slowly sat on the ground next to him. Kowalski slowly scooted closer to him until they were inches apart.
Kowalski looked into his eyes and he calmed down immediately. He slowly rested his head on Rico's shoulder and closed his eyes. Rico blushed at this but didn't dare push the scientist away. In just a little while, Rico could hear soft snoring from Kowalski, indicating that he had fallen asleep.
These few days are going to be fun.
