Fa'al Zuref has been charged with Poniphilia and High Treason, crimes which carry the death penalty for a changeling. Queen Lectin has decided to hear her answer to these accusations.

This is the story she told.

Originally written for the Equestria Daily Outside Insight contest.

On a warm, rainy afternoon, two young ponies take shelter in a gazebo. One is hoping to find a job at a bakery nearby, and just wants the rain to go away so she can make it to her interview. The other isn't really a pony, and just wants the rain to go away so he isn't caught.

Life tends to work that way, I suppose.

You think you know this story. You don't. One night at Berry Punch's bar, two jilted ponies strike up a conversation over some hard cider. The rest is drunken history.
