That’s right! The trial that will give Spike his safety again!” Twilight explained “Of course but just know that this is not like one of your many adventures in Equestria, this is serious so I’d suggest you’d focus” Starlight said “I know, I know! I mean a few years ago when you were just turning into a headmaster you began learning the basic things about trials with Ember! I didn’t know you were gonna start going to the tougher parts!” Twilight said “Of course but it was not an easy task for me so keep that in mind, now come on, we need to get to the trial as soon as possible!” Starlight said And so the two attorneys went on their way to the district court of Manehattan where Spike’s fate will be decided But you might be wondering what happened to Spike right? Well, let’s go back to what happened the day before today aka yesterday [Yesterday] The screen then changed to yesterday where Spike and Rarity were walking out of ms. Harshwhiny’s office “Thanks for the chat again ms. Harshwhinny, we’ll be sure to bring your clothes first hand tomorrow” Rarity said “No worries Rarity, Spike, but be there on time or else you will be fired!” Ms. Harshwhinny said “We’ll remember that, later!” Spike called out Afterwards the duo walked off as Ms. Harshwhiny waited for the next person to go in After a while Rarity and Spike had returned to their hotel room as they entered “That was a relief! I’m so happy for you Rarity!” Spike said happily “Thanks for helping me Spikey-wikey, now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be going to the Manehattan boutique to get the right kind of outfit so don’t do anything stupid while I’m gone” Rarity said “Of course!” Spike said Rarity then went towards the door as she opened it only to see some police ponies standing right outside the door “I’m so sorry mr but I have to go get the clothes for Ms. Harshwhiny” Rarity explained “No can do, miss, you’re under interrogation, and you dragon! You’re getting arrested!” The pony said “What?! I haven’t done a single thing wrong!” Spike reminded “That’s what they all say, we’ll leave it for the judges to decide! Now get moving!” The pony said Afterwards Spike and Rarity were put in hoof chains and Rarity got a horn shaped box over her horn which shut her magic and when that was done she was sent away with Spike with Rarity crying while Spike got a little confused himself [Present] Now that you know what happened I think it’s best to show you how the trial goes Afterwards the screen showed Twilight and Starlight arriving at the courthouse as they walked towards the door “Alright Twilight, I hope you’re prepared” Starlight said “Wait what?! Hold on! I didn’t have the chance to investigate! I mean! I wasn’t here when the crime happened!” Twilight reminded “Are you serious?! I thought most people investigate crimes when they have the chance!” Starlight said in disbelief “I know but I’m sure that whoever our prosecutor is has found enough evidence” Twilight explained “We just have to hope so but next time investigate the crime because if you don’t you may as well end up losing your baby dragon and lose the case right?” Starlight reminded “Yeah, I know, I’ll be careful next time!” Twilight said The duo then entered as they went towards the defendant lobby as Twilight went to sit down on her chair as Starlight turned to her “Okay, now let me give you a run down of how it’s going to work” Starlight suggested “But Starlight! You’ve told me that for I believe the thousandth time!” Twilight reminded “I know but I need to make sure you know it!” Starlight said “Do I need to remind you that you trained me for a couple of months!” Twilight reminded “Well, uh, that is true but allow me to do it again!” Starlight said “Fine!” Twilight said “Okay, first off during the trial you’ll be silent until either Celestia or the prosecutor tells you to speak up or when you have to cross examine the culprit, if you do not that’ll be the end of your Princess run and you’ll have your wings removed” Starlight explained “Relax Starlight! Surely the Princess knows what I’m supposed to do” Twilight explained “Yes and while you present your evidence you need to keep in mind to bring falsified evidence as that could give you a hefty prison charge or whatever else” Starlight reminded “I know, I know! I’ll keep that in mind for next time!” Twilight explained “Good and if you have a question always ask the person next to you aka your trial council, they’ll be the one helping you giving hints, any questions?” Starlight asked “Nope, not yet so far” Twilight answered “Great!” Starlight said Spike then rushed into the room until a royal guard held him back “Mr. Dragon, I order you to stay with me!” The royal guard said “Mr. royal guard, can you make this the only exception, he’s the defense’s brother, I’m sure he may hug her” Starlight said The royal guard then took a look at Spike and upon seeing him have a worried expression he loosened the grip off of Spike allowing him to rush to Twilight “Twilight! Help me! I didn’t do a thing wrong! I swear!” Spike pleaded whilst crying uncontrollably as he hugged Twilight Twilight who knew about the predicament then turned to Spike as she looked at her both in anger and worry “I know you wouldn’t do this but we can’t say for sure yet, I mean, I’ve still got to fight for justice for you” Twilight reminded “I know but please! do whatever you can to prove I didn’t kill anypony, I mean, I was just with Rarity when it happened!” Spike explained “I know, I saw you leave last evening, I was worried until the police came to my door and announced your arrest! Rarity was interrogated there too, right?” Twilight asked “Yeah! But please! Whatever you do! Do not fall for the prosecutor’s tricks!” Spike pleadedµ “I’ll try my hardest!” Twilight explained “Thanks Twilight!” Spike thanked Spike then gave one last hug before a bailiff trotted into the room “Attention my little ponies, the trial is about to begin” The bailiff explained “Alright, let’s get going then” Starlight said Afterwards the four went towards the courtroom and once they got there they went to stand at their podiums or place while Spike went to take a seat near the wall on a chair as Celestia walked in with a serious look “Court is now in session for the trial of Spike the Dragon! Is the prosecution ready?!” Celestia asked “The prosecution is ready, your honor!” Cranky Doodle then answered “Is the defense ready?” Celestia asked “The defense is ready, your honor!” Twilight answered “Very well, Mr. Donkey…” Celestia started “I’d prefer Mr. Doodle your honor” Cranky Doodle suggested “Er, right, Mr. Doodle, you may start with your opening statement” Celestia ordered Cranky Doodle then went off his stand as he turned to the center of the room and stared at Spike “Well, as you can see Princess, at just 6 PM last night Spike was seen exiting Ms. Harshwhiny’s room after having a business chat with her, of course it was all for naught as Ms. Harshwhiny was murdered mere minutes after they left!” Cranky Doodle explained Spike then glared at him “Are you serious?! I didn’t even kill anypony! You’re merely mistaken!” Spike reminded “This is not what the autopsy report stated, it stated the victim died due to a burn wound near the chest!” Cranky Doodle explained “But she didn’t have it!” Spike reminded “Then tell me why it stated she died at 6:05 PM?!” Cranky Doodle asked “I— I don’t know!” Spike explained “Well, your honor, can you accept the autopsy report?” Cranky Doodle asked “Of course! Any and all autopsy reports are accepted in the court record!” Celestia said Twilight who was listening to the story then began thinking “Twilight, once you figure out something make sure to keep note of it and show it during the cross examination!” Starlight suggested Twilight nodded “Very well, what else do you have?” Celestia asked “Well, there’s also this chandelier that was just fine right after the murder despite it have fallen, it’s very durable to be honest” Cranky Doodle explained “Was there anything else weird from the chandelier?” Celestia asked “If you don’t count the fact that it’s durable that’s everything” Cranky Doodle explained “Hmm, very well, the chandelier is also accepted into the evidence, anything else?” Celestia announced “Why yes, it’s revealed that Ms. Harshwhiny was actually staying in Manehattan for the night so that would mean she’d have to have shown her train tickets which I have right here!” Cranky Doodle explained Cranky Doodle then approached Celestia and showed the train tickets which caused Celestia to then begin thinking “Hmm, that does seem rather real to me” Celestia thought “But that’s not all, she even made a pic on the train with her fellow co workers who lived in different apartments at the time of the murder” Cranky Doodle explained Cranky Doodle then showed the other picture “Very well, I’ll accept these pictures into evidence” Celestia explained Cranky Doodle then puts every evidence he announced onto the table near Celestia who began thinking “Hmm, is that everything?” Celestia asked “I think it is” Cranky Doodle answered “Very well, you may call out your first witness” Celestia announced “Alright, I call the defendant’s accomplice Rarity to the stand” Cranky Doodle announced After he said that two royal guards brought Rarity towards the stand who then stood there while angry “Whichever brute called me an accomplice doesn’t know murder’s a crime against fashion!” Rarity said “I can’t help but feel worried for Rarity” Twilight thought “Witness, please state your name and occupation to the court!” Cranky Doodle ordered “Please be a little gentle darling, all these yellings don’t seem to fit a lady such as—” Rarity started “NOW!!!” Cranky Doodle ordered Rarity then gasped in shock “F-Fine, I’m Rarity and I’m the Element of Generosity but outside of that I have three boutiques of my own that I work on” Rarity explained “Ms. Rarity! From what I heard! You were one of the two creatures at the scene of the crime, am I right?” Cranky Doodle asked “Of course I wasn’t, I left before the crime even took place” Rarity explained “But you were there before it happened, right?” Cranky Doodle asked “Why yes of course, but I can assure you she wasn’t dead when I left!” Rarity explained “Well, we have evidence when you were there, at least one of the witnesses does!” Cranky Doodle explained “I can assure you, Spikey-wikey hasn’t done a thing wrong!” Rarity explained angrily “Very well, let’s ask Spike then” Cranky Doodle said “He’ll be saying the same thing!” Rarity said “We’ll see about that, I call the defendant Spike the Dragon to the stand!” Cranky Doodle explained Spike then flew off towards the witness stand in fright while Rarity went back to the watch area as he looked at Cranky Doodle seriously “Witness, state your name and occupation to the court!” Cranky Doodle ordered “I’m Spike the Dragon and I’m Twilight’s assistant in her castle and Rarity’s assistant when she needs it and I’m also an ambassador and finally, I’m the vice Principal in the School of Friendship” Spike explained “So, according to our witness, they saw you kill Ms. Harshwhiny in their hotel room, is that true?” Cranky Doodle asked “What?! Of course not?! Who’s that witness?!” Spike asked angrily “You’ll see, anyway what were you and Rarity talking about in the hotel room?” Cranky Doodle asked “It’s a surprise” Spike answered “I’m afraid that you’ll have to tell us in this courtroom Spike, I know it should’ve been a surprise for everypony but it’s the rules” Celestia said “Ugh! Whoever did this! I hate you!” Spike growled “Now! Tell us!” Cranky Doodle ordered “Very well, it was supposed to be for the clothes to use during the Equestria Games!” Spike answered angrily After saying that everypony muttered sounds of happiness and began applauding which caused Celestia to slam her gavel “Order! Order in the court!” Celestia called out “HOLD IT!” Twilight then called out “Twilight, what are you doing?!” Starlight asked “You’ll see” Twilight answered before turning to Spike “Did the victim have any burn wounds when you left” Twilight asked “Of course not, thus making my kill impossible!” Spike answered “Actually, it is still possible, you could be lying and still have used your fire breath to kill the victim!” Cranky Doodle reminded “Are you serious?! Rarity, did you hear me blow fire at the victim?” Spike asked “Of course not!” Rarity shouted “See! Thus making me innocent!” Spike said “This is not going well for Spike” Starlight whispered “I agree, I gotta do something, but how… And when?” Twilight whispered back “Well, I’ve got proof you did do it, I call our very own witness, Garble, to the stand!” Cranky Doodle announced “What?! That guy?!” Spike asked But nothing was answered as Spike was brought to his seat as he sat there glaring at Garble who walked into the room “State your name and occupation to the court!” Cranky Doodle ordered “Of course, I’m Garble the Dragon, the best drummer in all of the dragon lands” Garble announced “Garble, if I recall correctly, it was you who found the body last evening, right?” Cranky Doodle asked “Yes, I did” Garble answered “Is that so? If so, could you please give us your testimony?” Celestia asked “Of course” Garble answered Witness Testimony --Witness Account-- “Last night I went to go meet up with Ms. Harshwhiny” “But upon meeting with Ms. Harshwhiny I found her dead in her living room” “The door was open so I knew the killer left but I had a hunch on who did it” “And right when I noticed the body, I rushed to go get the cops and tell them about the murder” “That’s everything I saw” Garble explained “Wow! That sure is something, very well, Twilight you may begin your cross examination” Celestia suggested “Yes your honor” Twilight answered before turning to Starlight “How do I cross examine a witness?” Twilight asked “Just look for any problems found in the testimony and then object it but if you can’t find it you may also question the witness” Starlight explained “Right! I got it!” Twilight answered Twilight then went to stand in front of Garble while Cranky Doodle went back to his original place “Why did you go meet up with Ms. Harshwhiny?” Twilight asked “To drink coffee, what do you think?” Garble asked angrily “I don’t know, there’s actually a bunch of reasons you’d go meetup with Ms. Harshwhiny” Twilight explained “True but what did I state before?” Garble asked “What did you— OH!” Twilight called out in realization “This means there’s nothing contradictory here, right?” Cranky Doodle asked “Y-Yeah, sorry!” Twilight apologized “Focus Twilight! There has to be something wrong with what he said, you don’t need to apologize if you can’t figure it out!” Starlight said “Right!” Twilight said before turning to Garble again “Do you know what Ms. Harshwhiny had on her while lying on the ground?” Twilight asked “Hmm, all I remember is some burn marks and some bloody spots” Garble answered Twilight who heard this then began thinking “Are you sure?” Twilight asked “Yes I’m sure” Garble answered “Very well Garble, if you’re so sure, you may add this to your testimony” Celestia suggested “Ugh! Fine!” Garble said angrily “All I remember was some blood and burn marks on the body, nothing more, nothing less” “OBJECTION!” Twilight called out “Huh?” Garble asked “Actually, the autopsy report didn’t state that there was blood on the body thus your exclamation is wrong!” Twilight reminded “OBJECTION!” Cranky Doodle called out causing Twilight to turn to him “Actually, there was blood on the body, I forgot to tell you that” Cranky Doodle explained “How could you forget that Mr. Doodle?” Twilight asked “How? Ask detective Stygian if you need to, it’s not me who’s at fault here” Cranky Doodle answered “But you did present us the autopsy report so you are the one at fault” Celestia reminded “True but still, there was blood on the body” Cranky Doodle explained “Thanks for telling us by the way, Garble do you remember what time it was when you met with Ms. Harshwhiny?” Celestia asked “Hmm, I believe it was 12 PM” Garble answered “Well, that does seem true, would you mind explaining what you were doing at that time?” Celestia asked “Sure” Garble answered Witness Testimony --What I was doing at 12 PM-- “Before 12 PM I was at the Dragon Lands, testing out my drumming” “And once I finished I took a trip to Manehattan which was a 4 hour flight” “Of course I already prepared myself to meet up with Ms. Harshwhiny though I didn’t know she was dead by then” “I immediately went to go get the cops to try and find the killer” “Of course, it was easy as pie” “Hmm, that does seem useful, Twilight it’s time for your cross examination” Celestia said “Yes your honor” Twilight answered before turning to Garble “If you are talented at drumming like you said you are, why did you train?” Twilight asked “To make everypony in the Equestria Games to look in awe at my amazing drumming!” Garble answered “Why did you need everyone to look in awe, I thought there was only an city’s anthem, I don’t think any of them will fit your drumming” Twilight explained “True, but keep in mind that there’s griffons and dragons in the Equestria Games” Garble reminded “But the dragons—” Twilight started “OBJECTION!” Cranky Doodle called out “We’re not here to talk about the Equestria Games, we’re here to talk about the murder of it’s planner, Ms. Harshwhiny” Cranky Doodle reminded “Objection sustained! Please ask questions regarding the murder and not about the Equestria Games” Princess Celestia ordered “R-Right, sorry your honor” Twilight apologized “Why didn’t you do that first?!” Starlight asked angrily “I’m sorry, I was just trying to find a contradiction” Twilight apologized “No worries but keep in mind, we’re only supposed to talk about the murder, we can find contradictions of the Equestria Games later” Starlight said “Yeah, you’re right, my bad” Twilight apologized “Now that that’s out of the way, continue Twilight” Celestia ordered “What time was it when you arrived at Manehattan?” Twilight asked “I think it was about 8 PM, why?” Garble asked “Well, you’re wrong, remember what you said moments earlier?” Twilight asked [Flashback Start] “Hmm, I believe it was 12 PM” Garble answered [Flashback End] “Gah!” Garble called out “And if you prepared yourself moments before 12 PM and had to take a 4 hour flight to Manehattan it would be 6 PM, isn’t that right?” Twilight asked “Y-Yes!” Garble answered nervously “Then explain how you got there at 12 PM?!” Twilight asked “I-I have no idea! Maybe some unicorn teleported me there, like Rarity for example” Garble explained nervously “I don’t think so, it is a very hard magic spell and I don’t think Rarity can pull that off” Twilight explained “Then, what if I have super speed?” Garble asked “That’s also not possible due to the fact that it’s a 1 in a 1000 chance if it happening” Twilight answered “Garble, this is a trial, you must be honest in here” Celestia explained “I-I swear I didn’t kill him!” Garble said nervously “Very well, we’ll give you one more chance, give your honest testimony right now or else we’ll be arresting you for perjury” Celestia said “P-Please! Don’t do it! I’ll be honest!” Garble pleaded “Very well, give your honest testimony then” Celestia ordered angrily “Yes, starting with how you got there before the murder” Twilight suggested Witness Testimony --How I got to the crime scene on time-- “Well, to be fair I was lying a bit, I didn’t go there by teleportation or super speed on my own” “Maybe somepony brought me there with their own speed like Rainbow Dash” “That flight must’ve taken at least 2 hours though” So the crime may have happened at 2 PM” “Hmm, that seems fair enough, alright Ms. Sparkle, you know what to do?” Celestia asked “Yes your honor” Twilight answered “If you didn’t go to Ms. Harshwhiny’s hotel room by super speed or teleportation, why did you lie?!” Twilight asked “Because I forgot! That’s all!” Garble answered “Hmm, that sounds pretty suspicious, I’d better question him more” Twilight thought out loud “Do you know how many ponies have super speed?” Twilight asked “Yeah, two, are you saying there’s more?!” Garble asked in shock “No, but I’m saying that these two ponies wouldn’t have gone to the dragonlands for no reason!” Twilight reminded “Well, that is true, but Starlight did come right before I left to help me!” Garble explained Twilight then turned to Starlight “Is that true Starlight?” Twilight asked “Yeah but I didn’t meet with Garble, I only met up with Ember, my original master” Starlight answered Twilight then turned to Garble angrily “That’s where you’re wrong! Starlight went to meet up with Ember and not with you!” Twilight reminded “Ugh!” Garble said angrily “Next question! Since nobody came to help you, doesn't this make you later than 2 hours?!” Twilight asked “Yeah, but what does this have to do?!” Garble asked “This means that there’s still a chance you could’ve found the body on time and not on 2 PM!” Twilight answered “Shoot!” Garble answered “Great job Twilight, we almost got him! We need one more—” Starlight started “OBJECTION!” Cranky Doodle called out Twilight then turned to Cranky Doodle “Where’s your proof! There’s no way he couldn’t have asked! I mean! Rainbow must’ve found him somewhere!” Cranky Doodle reminded “I know that’s a possibility but for now! All I can say is that Garble has been lying for a while now!” Twilight explained “If I’m lying then how do you think I’m wrong?!” Cranky Doodle asked “Let me explain” Twilight explained as she turned to the screen which began displaying the events as a red and blue pins of sorts “If I’m right Garble must’ve found the victim on what he thinks is 12 PM though, that doesn’t excuse the fact that the body was found in the hotel room on 6 and according to what Cranky Doodle said there must be a secret we have yet to uncover, especially with the fact that there’s not only blood on the victim but also some burn marks and that’s what I intend to find out” Twilight explained “If that’s so, tell me how you’ll be finding that out!” Garble asked “Well, there should be a source of the burn marks on the victim and I believe thanks to the existence of dragons in Equestria I suggest we combine the burn marks with the breath of certain dragons, the more they fit the more the crime is solved!” Twilight said “Please! Do not do this, I’m sure there’s a reasonable explanation for this!” Garble said Twilight then turned to Garble “Are you sure? Then how do you explain the train tickets?!” Twilight asked After saying that everypony muttered sounds of shock and disbelief until Celestia begins slamming her gavel “Order! Order!” Celestia called out before turning to Twilight “What are you saying Twilight?” Celestia asked “It took me a while to figure out but the fact that Garble thinks it’s 12 PM means that the last time he saw the clock was back in the Dragonlands which is a few ways from Ponyville and I have reason to believe that Manehattan is 4 hours away from Ponyville, right Garble?!” Twilight asked “Y-Yes!” Garble answered “And Spike wasn’t the only dragon that went to Manehattan, I’m sure that Garble also went to Manehattan to ask the victim if he could drum in the Equestria Games but she wouldn’t let him do it and thus he accidentally blew fire which burned the whole hotel room along with a piece of her body that bled due to the chandelier hitting her thanks to the loose thread, isn’t that right Garble?!” Twilight asked angrily “No! H-How did y— Why! I didn’t do a thing wrong! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” Garble shouted Garble then blew fire while screaming which luckily didn’t hit the wall as the royal guards ran by before putting Garble into claw cuffs “Please! I didn’t do anything! She’s lying!” Garble called out Garble was then dragged out while he still screamed from his lungs [Flashback] The scene then showed Ms. Harshwhiny waving at Rarity and Spike only to hear somebody walking by as she turned around only to see Garble “Hi miss, can we talk?” Garble asked “Sure, come on in” Ms. Harshwhiny said The duo then walked in as Garble took a seat in front of her “So, what is it you wanted to talk to me about?” Ms. Harshwhiny asked “Well, I was thinking if it was possible that I could be one of the band leaders to play in the Equestria Games” Garble explained Ms. Harshwhiny then sighed in disbelief “I’ve already had multiple people ask that and they all said the same answer ‘No, I cannot play the anthem!’ So please, tell me, will you be playing the anthem?” Ms. Harshwhiny asked “What’s an anthem?” Garble asked “So you won’t be doing the anthem?” Ms. Harshwhiny asked angrily “I just asked what’s an anthem, I haven't decided yet!” Garble reminded “So you’re calling me dumb, out!” Ms. Harshwhiny asked “Are you serious?! I didn’t even do anything wrong!” Garble answered “OUT!” Ms. Harshwhiny shouted Afterwards Garble roared in frustration which caused fire to go out of his mouth and hit the chandelier which then fell onto Ms. Harshwhiny “Oh, shoot! I’m so sorry! I’ll go get help!” Garble said worriedly Garble then rushed off to go get the police’s help [Present] After a while Celestia shook her head before clearing her throat and turning to Cranky Doodle “Ahem, Mr. Doodle, what happened to the culprit of this case?” Celestia asked “Well, he has been apprehended and arrested your honor, he won’t be a danger to the courtroom again for the time being” Cranky Doodle answered in defeat “Very well” Celestia said before turning to Twilight “Twilight, you’ve fought and won another battle again, great job!” Celestia congratulated “Thanks your honor” Twilight thanked “Now then, Spike, go on stage please” Celestia suggested Spike then flew over to the stage and turned to Celestia “Yes your honor, what is it?” Spike asked “You have been lucky today, if it weren’t for Twilight you wouldn’t have made it, you should be proud of yourself” Celestia stated “Thanks your honor” Spike thanked before turning to Twilight “Thanks Twilight, Starlight” Spike thanked “No worries, anything for you” Twilight said “Now then! Let me state my verdict, I find the defendant Spike the Dragon…” Celestia started “Not Guilty!!!” “That is all, court is adjourned!” Celestia announced And with that, thanks to Twilight’s focus Spike has been saved The trio then went to the defendant’s lobby as Spike rushed to Twilight and hugged her tightly “Thanks for saving me Twilight! I knew I could count on you!” Spike thanked while sobbing a bit “No worries Spike, I knew you didn’t do it and that’s why I faced it as hard as I ever could” Twilight explained “Say Twilight, why did you interrupt the trial once though?” Starlight asked “Well, I knew there was something contradictory with what Cranky Doodle said so that’s why I thought, I may as well ask Spike, sorry I broke your rules though” Twilight apologized “No worries, for some reason, I knew you were right but I shouldn’t get ahead of myself, especially due to the fact that you’re the brains of the Mane Six or the Guardians of Harmony” Starlight explained “Well, I still need to think of a name for the team, though, thanks for the compliment” Twilight said Rarity then bursts into the room as she approached Spike and hugged her “Oh Spikey-Wikey! Are you okay?! They didn’t hurt you did they?!” Rarity asked worriedly “No, no, I’m fine, but I do have one question” Spike explained “Really? What is it?” Rarity asked “Why did Garble target me? I thought we had changed views” Spike asked “I have no idea Spike, the only thing that I know so far is that he did it to find a suspect, and while I know you both changed your views, I’m sure he still felt that bad side to you and besides it was his fault that he caused the fire, not you!” Twilight explained “True, I’ll try and focus on the good side for now” Spike said “Well, I think I should go sign that file as finished work, if you need me, you know where to find me” Starlight said “Great! Later!” Twilight said “Oh! And Twilight, I know I might not be there for most of the time but you should know that wherever I am I count on you to bring peace in Equestria” Starlight said “Why does that sound as if you are going to die?” Twilight asked “I know it might sound like it but with how much business I have to do I know you can handle it!” Starlight said “Thanks Starlight!” Twilight said “No worries, now I’m almost late, I have to go to my office in your castle but let me know if you need anything, okay” Starlight said “Of course, see you later Starlight!” Twilight waved Afterwards Starlight left the room as Twilight began thinking about what Starlight said, she had a lot of questions right now from ‘How many cases she’ll still have to solve’ and ‘if there’s any other ponies’ she could help and as soon as she finished thinking she began leaving the courtroom knowing that everything’s peaceful right now
