How could this visit go so terribly wrong? It was just a simple visit to Canterlot and she, Trixie, and Spike were hanging out at Pony Joe's when suddenly the royal guard captured her and brought her to a prison cell putting an inhibitor ring on her horn so she can't use magic due to her being rumored that she was attacking Blueblood when she never did, what's worse is her friends actually believed she did it, well a few believed her, Spike and Trixie knew she didn't do it and Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Discord believed her when she said she was innocent but Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity didn't believe her for a minute.
She teared up knowing she had gone so far and was about to lose it all thanks to Blueblood.
Blueblood Starlight thought with bitterness That vile scum will pay for what he's doing to me.
Starlight shook her head where did that thought come from, no she can't seek revenge on him, it leads to nothing but pain.
Starlight's thoughts drifted to Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity she knows that if she were to ever get out of this predicament she would never have the same relationship with them again. They'd have trust issues for sure after this.
The cell door opened, Starlight was thankful to see that it was a Crystal Guard and a Moon Guard, Luna and Cadence came to visit and revealed they believed her too.
They then walked into the court room where they saw the Mane 6, Spike, the Princesses, Discord, Blueblood, and the jury, they all had mixed reactions, half were concerned and half glared at her for what she presumably did.
"Ugh why did you bring this filth into this court she should be banished for what she did." Prince Blueblood said angrily.
"Patience nephew we must give her a fair trial first." Celestia comforted while giving the pink unicorn a look of disappointment showing she thought Starlight was better than this.
Starlight sat at her seat next to Twilight who was her lawyer and began speaking "I'm really nervous Twilight."
"Don't worry Starlight we can prove your innocence, and you'll get to go home." Twilight comforted putting a wing around her.
"Starlight Glimmer, you have been charged for attacking a royal how do you plead?" Celestia said in her Royal Canterlot voice.
Twilight gave Starlight a confident nod and Starlight spoke "Not guilty."
"Liar." Blueblood angrily shouted.
"Silence, Twilight how do you defend Starlight?" Celestia asked.
"Simple I call to the stand Spike The Dragon." Twilight said.
Spike then walked to the stand while Celestia began asking questions.
"Spike, you must tell the truth here, why do you believe Starlight is innocent?" Celestia asked in a serious tone.
"Simple I was with her and Trixie the whole time at Pony Joe's it can't be her I would've known." Spike explained hastily.
"Does the Prosecution have any evidence against that?" Celestia asked to Blueblood.
"Yes your honor there is a singe mark on my body and it was created by that vile pony over there." Blueblood argued showing his singe mark. "Unicorns can create clones so she must have used a cloning spell."
"What?!" Twilight asked. She couldn't comprehend this she knew Starlight was innocent but the trial was not working in her favor something had to be wrong.
"Objection." Twilight shouted in defiance.
"Overruled the evidence is right there on his body, so jury we shall now here your vote, who believes Starlight is innocent?" Celestia argued angrily.
Spike, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Discord, Luna, and Cadence were the only ones who raised their hooves or claw in Spike and Discord's case.
"Who believes Starlight is guilty?" Celestia asked angrily.
Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and the rest of the jury raised their hooves.
"Starlight you are hereby pronounced as guilty, your punishment for attacking a royal and regressing is banishment." Celestia boomed in her Royal Canterlot voice.
"What? No." Starlight spoke with tears.
"Ha, yes." Prince Blueblood said excited that the pony who he hated was about to get banished.
"You may now say your goodbyes." Celestia proclaimed.
Starlight in tears walked up to her friends but Rainbow Dash punched her in face sending Starlight to the ground.
So this is how it ends huh I should've expected this. Starlight said with her head low.
"Rainbow Dash!" Twilight berated angrily at the cyan pegasus.
"This monster attacked Blueblood she deserves this." Rainbow Dash argued.
"No she doesn't. I was with her the whole time she's innocent!" Spike angrily shouted at Rainbow Dash who was taken aback by this outburst Spike made.
"Ugh, your impossible." Twilight said angrily but then turned to a heartbroken Starlight.
"Starlight we're going to get to the bottom of this I promise." Twilight said in tears hugging the pink unicorn.
"Okay Twilight, I'm so scared." Starlight spoke weakly.
"It's okay Starlight you'll get through this." Spike said embracing Starlight.
Discord, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy joined the group hug with some tears in their eyes as well.
Celestia then tapped Starlight on the back alerting the pink unicorn.
Starlight then turned to Celestia and holded her head low.
"It's time." Celestia told Starlight with anger in her voice before she blasted Starlight sending her away from Equestria.
"No, Starlight." Spike said in tears.
"She deserves it that good for nothin' traitor." Applejack said angrily. Rainbow Dsh and Rarity nodded in agreement asthey left.
Spike glared at the apple farmer before he flied off in a different direction.
Chrysalis looked through the window in her bee form and was pleased, she knew pretending to be Starlight would result in this, now she's lost the respect of almost everyone in Equestria and she was banished, oh she was pleased with herself. Now Starlight will suffer the consequences for taking her hive and it was all thnks to her checkered past and her friends not trusting her
How lovely. Chrysalis thought happily before flying off waiting for the chance to strike.
