I was in the recess room again I’m not as bad as what I was expecting at this lawyer business but without decisive evidences I have nothing to defend Carl. ``I must admit that was the most interesting trial I have ever seen yee-haw!`` Applejack exclaim she was with Twilight again.
``Thanks I'm trying my best to beat that annoying smug face of Solid Proof.`` I respond with a smile.
The cowgirl was about to say something but was interupt. ``The court will begin.``
``Oh I must go in court again, wish me good luck with this.`` I said before disappearing in the court room.
- - - - -
``The defense is ready your honor``
``Yes let begin already`` Solid said impatiently as if he had better things to do. I really hate this guy.
``Lets the court begin.`` Celestia state.
``The prosecution call another witness.`` A very familiar shy pony arrived she was hiding behind her mane.
``Name and occupation.`` All we heard was a whisper.
``I said name and occupation.`` She just squeak louder.
``Please Fluttershy talk to the court.`` I ask her with a gentle voice.
``Oh Dream you are here! This is so wonderful.`` Solid Proof looked enraged that she was talking to me but not him.
``My name is Fluttershy I’m Ponyville's animal caretaker.`` She shyly said to the court.
``Witness can you talk about the night of the crime?`` She then began to hide behind her mane again since it was Solid Proof who was talking.
``Mister Dream the witness seem more open with you could you do the talking?`` Celestia ask me. The prosecutor look like he was ready to slam his head on the desk.
``Of course your honour, Flu- I mean witness could you talk us about the night of the murder?`` She look unsured about my request but nodded.
``Ok I’ll try my best.``
``I was going to buy some basic things to feed my animals like I do each weeks and then I saw a flash of light in alley, it was around nine thirty when I saw it I immediately call the guards afterward.``
(end music)
Wait that was it? What kind of testimony was that?! ``The defense can begin the cross examination.``
``I was going to buy some basic things to feed my animals like I do each weeks and then I saw a flash of light in alley it was around nine thirty when I saw it I immediately call the guards afterward.``
``OBJECTION!`` she made a startle squeaking sound at my shout.
``Why would you call the guards for a simple flash of light?``
``B-because it’s was a suspicious light?`` She tried lamely a few ponies in the crowd facehoof.
``I don’t think so, I want you to tell what you really saw in that alley.`` I said with a frown. She look at me with a nervous expression before answering.
``I heard some strange sound close of me so I checked in the alley and saw Carl holding a gem and a flash of light shot out of it and after that I called the guards``
``Witness can you add this to your testimony?`` She nodded. Fuck it look really bad for Carl right now.
``I was going to buy some basic things to feed my animals like I do each weeks and then when I heard some strange sounds close of me, so I check in the alley and I saw Carl holding a gem-
``OBJECTION`` I point a hoof at her.
(end music)
``There is clearly a contradiction in the witness testimony!`` I slam my hoof on my desk and I point at her. ``Cadence mention that the defendant had a shocked expression and this picture clearly show that he had no gem when the crime happened.`` Futtershy took a shock expression and began to sweat.
``Witness what is the meaning of this?`` Celestia ask with disappointed look on her face.
``Please don’t make me tell what happened, they made me promise to not tell anypony`` Tears began to fall of her eyes. The court room was silent as she sobbed.
``...Flutterhy who are ‘they’?`` I ask with concern she wipe her eyes a little with a hoof.
``I don’t know they say their group are called the Soul Reapers`` Celestia gasp but keep silent, She knew something I could tell. Tears begin to fall off Fluttershy's eyes again. ``They said if I say anything in the trial they will take my animals away it’s probably already too late.`` she fall on the ground sobbing again.
``GUARDS`` scream Celestia every pony in the court room look at her. Three guards appear in front of her. ``Protect Fluttershy's cottage by anypony who look suspicious.`` They made a salute.
``Yes ma’am!`` Celestia horn then glow and the three guards disappeared in a flash of golden light.
``They will protect your animals, now witness we want the truth.`` Flutterhy smiled.
``Okay.``
``OBJECTION!`` The voice of Solid Proof cried.
``Your honor nothing prove that the killer was really some of the Soul Reapers she could be lying to us, all evidences point that the defendant did it."
``OBJECTION!"
``Your honor`` Celestia look at me. `` I would want to present a evidence to the court.``
``TAKE THAT`` I show her the grim picture I had take in the alley.
(end music)
``ARGH! what!? why the detectives did not find this writing with bloods?`` Solid Proof scream in fury.
``The court accept this as evidence.`` Celestia said calmly.
``Witness make you’re testimony`` she just squeak.
``Fluttershy could you please tell us the truth.`` I said in the most friendliest voice I could muster.
``O-ok`` she clear her throat a little ``I was going to buy some basic things to feed my animals like I do each weeks and then I heard weird sounds I check the alley with Carl who was with me when we saw a masked man running after a mare with a camera when he saw us the man released some sort of magical orb at the mare from his gem and absorb her magic in the catcher.``
``Carl then told me to run and call the guards I was hesitant at first I didn’t want to leave him alone but I saw the determination in his expression and I flew to call the guards as fast as I could but I was too shock and scared to form coherent words so I just told them to go to the alley.``
``A few minutes later I receive a call from an unknown phone number they said that if I said anything in the trial they would take my animals friends away. And unfortunately the guards had took Carl in jail instead of the real killer and I couldn’t say anything.``
The trial room at this point was completely crazy.
*SLAM * *SLAM * ``ORDER, ORDER IN THE COURT``
``Since we don’t have enough evidences we will adjourn this trial to tomorrow`` *SLAM*

I made my way at the detention center it’s time to find the truth. There he was Carl, he didn't look too happy, did he ever looked happy?
``Hey Carl!`` He turn his glare at me.
``Oh it’s you, you were not that bad in court, I just want to say thanks I've been an ass to everybody in this world and to everyone who like this world and yet one of these girly animals try to safe my ass.`` He chuckled with a ironic smile.
``Yeah thanks for the compliments but that not why I’m here I want to know the truth. What did you do after you told Fluttershy to leave?`` Chains then again appeared around him. And two locks appear.
``I don’t know what you’re talking about like I said they just took me because they're a bunch of racist.``
``TAKE THAT`` I show him the report. ``The report said a shy pony telephoned she was probably too shock to move if you didn’t help her`` One of the locks exploded.
``T-that not true s-she probably would be able to call without me.``
``So why were you there?`` I ask.
``I was not in the alley`` He replied while crossing his arms.
``TAKE THAT`` I show him the photo of the court room. ``The mare took a photo of you in the alley that night before she died.`` The last lock exploded and the chains disappeared.
(end music)
He sighed ``Ok I was there after you left me alone last night I made my way to Fluttershy cottage there was a letter for me in front of the door I find it very odd the letter said to come in a alley close of the library at nine forty.
``I had nothing to do so I got to the alley before the time the letter said to come and when I arrived the crime scene was in front of me my guess it’s that was their plan from the beginning to accused me someone who nobody would miss once sent in jail at least that what they were probably thinking.`` He smile at the last part, he then gave me the letter he was talking about and I put it in my saddlebag.
``Thanks but I don't swing that way.`` He look at me quizzically and then realised what I meant.
``What!? Fuck you!`` I laughed
``No thank I just said I don’t swing that way.`` He glared at me angrily. ``Now that I think about it all the time you call me a faggot was probably your weird way to ask me on a date.``
``You’re a fucking asshole`` I just continue to laugh my ass off.
