Trial for a Rest

Source

After (in her eyes at least) failing horribly in an exam, Twilight decides that she has to spend more time learning again. She achieves this by locking herself up and refusing any kind of rest or even sleep. Can her friends help her?

Written for Super Trampoline's Feghoot Festival. This is your last warning.

6/21/19: This made it into popular stories, somehow...

Originally a term from science fiction fandom:

A feghoot (also known as a story pun or poetic story joke) is a humorous short story or vignette ending in a pun (typically a play on a well-known phrase), where the story contains sufficient context to recognize the punning humor.^[1] It can be considered a type of shaggy dog story.

Did I just read a Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney allusion? *Clap clap*

I failed to catch any typos, but there was this one little thing:

“Listen, I do appreciate your concerns, but my recent failure” –”It was just a typo!” Rainbow shouted.– “has shown ...

I'm pretty sure if you want Rainbow to interrupt Twilight you need to write said interruption on a new line and start another new line for Twilight's continuation as all swaps in dialogue speakers, to my understanding, are clarified by a new paragraph. At least, that's how I understand the rule; sure, I understood the story, but it looks icky to me.

Fun read nonetheless!

I honestly don't get that last one. Still, much fun and quality groaners all around. I feel vaguely proud of being able to translate the chapter titles. Best of luck in the contest.

Come on, they cleaned up the room they used for the trial, they literally brought order to the court room. The rest is just a bit of random padding dialogue filled with even more Ace Attorney references.
And thanks, of course

Heh. Nice one. I would worry about the title spoiling the pun, but I missed it when it was just in the title, so shrug I love the disturbing implication about AJ's "police uniform", especially with the fuzzy handcuffs. (Also I want to see it.) I'm also entertained and slightly disturbed by Twilight's cat: imaginary, electronic, kidnapped off the street?
