Running from Twilight

by Brony-Sibling


America vs. The Elements

You’ve been sitting in a holding cell for a few hours now... just sitting.

You know... for once It’s really nice to have peace and quiet.

“Ah....” You exhale peacefully. “Maybe jail would be better than just constantly running...” You ponder out loud.

“It seems like that’s all I do these days…run from Twilight, run from Rainbow, run from... pretty much everypony and everything.”

“hmm.”

“Well.” You say to yourself. “Time to get to work. It’s like I said.” You weakly say, “No more running... right?”

You slowly pull yourself to your feet and brush yourself off and rest against the bars, trying to motivate yourself.

“So... let’s see...” You say, stroking your chin thoughtfully. “Assault, molestation, magical assault... I wonder if they have any laws against extra-dimensional kidnapping?” You muse to yourself. “Come to think of it, I don’t even know what kind of judicial system they have.”

“Maybe I should have thought this through first...” You you groan, then lay down on your jail cot to sort through the day.

Thinking.

Thinking.

Thinking.

Think... Sleepy...

Sleepy...

Just as you are starting to fall asleep, you JOLT AWAKE.

What was that? A explosion? A teleport? Asteroids!? What coul-

You look around the room, and..

“Oh. It’s nothing.” You mutter as you settle back down in your cot. “Guess I’ve been getting a bit jumpy... I mean, it’s like as soon as things settle down something crazy happens. It’s like I’m in a bad fanfi-”

You are distracted by the sound of clopping.

It’s getting closer.

Closer.

The clopping is is coming from outside of your door now!

“They really need to come up with a better term for that.” You sullenly mutter.

*Knock Knock* “America? Are you in there? It’s Twilight Sparkle.... I just wanted to talk to you. Um... Can I come in?” You hear a nervous voice call out from outside the cell block.

You purse your lips, then sarcastically say, “Why not? It’s not like anything could stop you.”

Twilight opens the door, an apologetic smile on her face.

“Listen, I just... I just.” Twilight pinches her nose and sighs in frustration. “Ok Listen. I’m sorry for foal-napping you. But-”

“‘SORRY’ isn’t going to cut it Twilight.” You interrupt. “You. Kid-Foal-napped me!”

Twilight’s ear flicks in annoyance. “I know. I just- just... UGH!” Twilight stomps her hoof in frustration. “Just listen ok!”

“Listen” Twilight says, tracing one of the jail’s bars with her hoof. “Equestria’s court system still has a... bit of a bias against Stallions.”

Your eyes widen. Oh Horseapples.

“And, well...” Twilight says bashfully kicking her hoof against the floor. “If you get assigned to me, I’ll do my best to make sure you are happy.”

“WHAT?!” You exclaim in shock.

“KAYSORRYBYENOW!” Twlight blurts out as she teleports away. *VATHOMP*

*You facepalm*

“This... may have been a bad idea.”


-A few hours later-

“All rise for the Honorable Flawed Justice!”

The court stands for the the judge, Flawed Justice. “Her name would make a great comic book title...” You whisper.

Flawed Justice announces that, “The accused parties today are the saviors of Equestria, the Bearers of Harmony, and the Student of Princess Celestia herself, Twilight Sparkle!”

You REALLY should have thought this out.

“The accuser is... this...” Flawed Justice pauses for a second.

“America.” You answer.

Flawed Justice then announces that, “America is suing the Bearers of Harmony.”

Flawed Justice asks you. “What are the charges?”

You stand up and make yourself as presentable as possible, torn clothes, sleep-deprived red eyes, and nervous face. “Interdimensional foal-napping, 2nd degree attempted rape, forced morphing, assault, and molestation.”

The crowd gasps in disbelief.

Flawed Justice speaks, “The charges are plain, and because of America’s... non-citizen status, and his lack of knowledge of the Equestrian Justice System, I’m going to change the protocols, to allow informal arguments and sentencing.”

Out of the corner of your eye you see Twilight toss a huge stack of legal papers and notes into the air. “Ughh!!”

Flawed Justice bangs the Gavel, and announces that "The case of America vs The Elements has begun!”

“Good luck.”
