Ok, so after my crisis of suit-dentity I found that maybe I had been ignoring a couple of pressing matters.
1; I actually had a client to meet
2; I had a client to defend in a case I'm positive she'd lose
3; Dat plot...
4; I had to find where in the hay the courthouse was... This was a town with maybe... five buildings big enough to hold court and one of them was a bakery and the other was a tree...
5; I had to deal with Cherilee...
6;Cherilee...
So... Maybe more than a couple things, but to be honest a few of those things could be handled later. For now, I needed to handle that thing about the courthouse...
"Trixie... Could you tell me where I can find a courthouse?"
"Hmmm well, let's use our brains. There's a large structure in the middle of town that is lavishly decorated in a light classical way... Called town hall[/i. Everypony goes there for issues pertaining to the town... ]Where do you think it is?"
"Uhhh-"
"Exactly. You didn't. So, if you don't mind, The great and powerful Trixie must have her power nap. Go win, And pick me up a train schedule while you're out."
"I don't get why you're so opposed to going out. It's a lovely town. The ponies are a little crazy but they seem alright."
"That's cause you're an idiot. You don't see what I can, with my years of sniffing out eeeevil. I'm leaving on the next train, you should to."
"Well... I kinda have-"
"You-should-leave on the next train. Trust you're old friend, this can only end badly."
She might have been right... She usually was... But I was an officer... Err... Practitioner of the law! I needed to do my job! That... I didn't really get payment for... Wait no... Damnit! The suits constituted as payment! These ponies... Were very tricky...
"I'm getting you a schedule, but I'll bring you a cupcake when I come back up."
"Whatever..."
Trixie hopped up on the bed and just decided to take a nap I guess. I stepped out of the door to only be met by pinkiepie...
"Oh goddess no-"
"Hey M.c! How's you're stay? Feeling at home yet?"
"Uhhh not quite..."
"Ohhh is it the creepy babies? Yeahhh I LOVE those two! Don't pay them much mind, I'm sure they won't eat you're sheets or anything... Well Pumpkin might, but its alllll guuud!"
"Right... So, I hate pinkie but do you know where they would maybe, hold a court hearing? It's not like-"
"Town hall."
"... Town hall."
"Yup Town hall."
"Ok... Thanks."
"Anytime."
That was...
"CompletelyOOCofmeIKNOOOOOWbutI'mkindasickofyoujuststaringatplotsandbeinglike 'omg look at her butt' causeImeanreallyhowinterestingcanabuttbe? Oh! andnottomentionhowyou'resupposedtobeintoCherileebutIthinkyouhaveathingforTrixietoobutanywayIjustwannaseehowdarkthisstorycanget!"
Of course... Couldn't leave this place without one of these...
__________________________________________________________
So, like pinky said, the town hall was indeed where the court hearing against Ms. Punch was to be held, now... To find Ms.Punch... Twilight told me she was with Cherilee... So that would mean going to the school... And seeing her kids, well not her kids exactly but kids that was teaching... I hate kids... I really, really, really hope Twilight was wrong!
I took to the skies to make my travel time faster, these things must be done like band aids they say, quickly and painfully...
By the way, did you know they have battering rams in the skies of ponyville shaped like cyan pegasi?
Yeah, I didn't either. Then I was hit by one...
It was quick and painful.
Like a band aid.
"Sorrygottagowonderboltsshowi'llpayyabacklater..."
So... Yeah, eventful... Other than that my flight was rather peaceful, no more battering rams. Fun! Any who, It's hard to describe the skies of ponyville. It's different from manehattan or canterlot. The skies are always full of pegasi rushing around to some job, or some high society meeting...
Not here...
The skie is as blue and clear like the ocean on a sunny day. You can see the ground clearly, which is kinda rare. I could point out every individual pony. Then I saw the school, it would be another minute till i got there but it was quite a cute little place, very...
Towny...
Yeah, towny... I landed just next to the place, looked in through a window. Cherilee was at the front of the class, giving a lecture on what looked liked butterflies... She would, I mean I only knew Cherilee as a sexual deviant but I mean, she was a teacher. When I found out I had guessed she was a lovely pony... I thought she'd be the type to teach fillies and foals about butterflies...
ok children, we'll continue this after recess, go have fun!
*RIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGG*
For who the bell tolls...
Band aid
Band aid
Band aid
"Oh... Mags... Hello... W-W-What are you-"
"Band Aid!"
"You... need a band aid?"
Smooth Carta, so smooth, so smooth in fact, your cutie mark should be an oil spill... In the middle of an ocean...
"Uhhh... No... I uhmm... Y-you're sister sent me a letter an I-"
"Ugh, of course she would! I told her not to, but she did anyway! I'd say she drives me to drink but she does enough of that for the two of us! ugh... W-why did you answer it? How did you even read it?"
"She may have had dictated it..."
"But... I mean, last we talked..."
"Yeah... Sorry about that..."
"About what? About lying? Or having to see me again..."
"Uh-"
"Or maybe about all the time you missed out on?"
"Uh-"
"All the happiness we might have had!"
"Uh-"
"STOP SAYING 'UH'!"
Yup... Band aid...
"I-"
"Don't you dare say you didn't mean to!"
"Ok..."
"You know, you could have just said 'we shouldn't see each other' or maybe 'hey, maybe we should break up' or hell! I would have taken 'you're too old for me' over just having me wait at the hedge maze for twelve hours!"
"I didn't want to-"
"It rained you know..."
"What?"
"I stood in the rain..."
"I didn't-"
"Of course you didn't know! You never knew!"
"..."
I don't think either of us heard the door open...
"Ms.Cherilee?"
The most heart wrenching southern voice questioned behind me somewhere... This is why I hate kids...
They have a funny way of making you feel even worse about the shit you've done...
"Go outside applebloom. The 'grown ups' are talking..."
They way she said grown ups... We weren't grown ups... She was a woman and I was the punk kid who really shouldn't have answered that celestia damned letter...
'B-but Ms.Cherilee..."
"Go outside!"
She didn't raise her voice, she just kinda... Used a teacher voice... It's not like raising her voice... It's a little different... I knew it from time when... Well... Those private moments...
"O-ok..."
The door closed and we were alone again...
Goddess did I hate being alone, being wrapped in guilt...
I guess this is what it's like to sit in a cell, criminal verdict given... Knowing all that's ahead of you is death...
This is pain like no other...
Now of course I'm not gonna die but...
But...
But man did I want to...
"So... My sister... That's who you're looking for?"
"..."
"She's most likely at the town hall. Behind bars."
Idiot! Of course! They would keep her detained until somepony could post her bail! I should have guessed! Ugh! Twilight! No can't blame her, you should have checked anyway! It's your fucking job!
"Y-you didn't post her bail?"
"Nope. I honestly think she did it, that lousy drunk."
"W-what d-did she do?"
"Apparently she assaulted some guard. She says that he made the first move."
"What?!"
"Yeah, she's looking at banishment."
"I-I gotta go! See ya cherry!"
Oh no...
"Did you just-?"
"Yes... Yes I did..."
And I was out the door faster than you can say sent to the moon...
