//------------------------------// // Twilight's Objection // Story: The Filly & The Changeling // by Finnie Nara //------------------------------// "Objection!" shouted Twilight Sparkle from the entrance of the Courtroom There were gasps and mumurs as people slowly recognised her although they were slightly confused as to why Twilight was a filly. The judge lowered his hammer and waited for Twilight's version of the events that played out. "I was not foalnapped," said Twilight,"I probably had a magical freakout god knows how many i've had under the care of my sister over there." The officer was going to point out that Alecia couldn't have adopted Twilight as she was not legally a citizen of Equestria but stayed his tongue when he caught the glare that Twilight was giving him. "She has been taking care of me for the past year when none of you could find me. She built us a house, a field to play in, those were the best moments of my life and now you want to sentence her because of what she is you don't care that she is telling the truth! You simply want to lock her away like all the other changelings you that you think deserve the same. Well if you want to punish her for being different you'll have to take me away too because i'm not leaving this room without Alecia!" demanded Twilight "Well since the victim has vouched for the defendant i think that its safe to officially close the case and let the defendant go," said the judge. "But what if the filly has been brainwashed?" asked the officer "I have not!" exclaimed Twilight "Well you wouldn't know if you had would you now?" replied the officer "I can vouch that Twilight has not been brainwashed," came another voice from the entrance of the courtroom. "Your highness forgive my erm accusation," pleaded the officer "It's quite alright you were just doing your job as an officer," replied Cadance "Well now that we know that the victim has not been brainwashed i can now finally close the case," said the judge "Wait," said Alecia," if it's not too much trouble can i apply for Equestrian citizenship?" "Hmm well the process would take some time but of course you can apply for it whenever you want," said the judge smiling "Okay then... um thanks anyways," said Alecia The rest of the court filed out of the courtroom as the guard unlocked the cuffs on. "Liloo!" exclaimed Twilight as she rushed into Alecia warming embrace "Twily i missed you so much!," replied Alecia enthusiastically "Me too Liloo i thought i'd never see you again!" said Twilight "Yeah well not really never though you'd just have to wait another 15 years before i would be released," Alecia said "15 years is too long sis!" responded Twilight "It seems that Twilight's love for you is genuine too," said Cadance with a smile. "Of course it is i mean you don't live with somepony for a year and not develop some kind of feelings for them," said Alecia "Yeah!" agreed Twilight "Since you're out scot-free and you're applying for citizenship why don't we get you a house to stay in?" asked Cadance "That would be nice," replied Alecia "By the way i've been meaning to ask you this question," said Cadance "Well what is it?" asked Alecia "How did you know that Twilight was going to burst through the doors and save you?" asked Cadance "I didn't," grinned Alecia as she chased Twilight down the corridor occasionally getting a look or two from passing ponies but that didn't bother Alecia because she had Twilight and that was all that mattered to her.
