//------------------------------// // Chapter 6: Life or Death // Story: Still Alive // by AngelinaSmith590 //------------------------------// The next day spend all day studying court and court laws at the Crystal library. When I leave, the librarian talks to me. "Amber! you are finally your cheery self!" "Lets just say, I meat up with an old friend..." I leave the library with a good vibe. I'm finally my self again. Finally it's time for me to go to court. I arrive in a navy blue suit, and shoes. I spot Sombra, where he waves over and I take my seat right next to him. "Alright, court is in session!" Princess Celestia says. "You're majesty," I bow "I would like to speak on the defendant's behalf, and I would like to try and persuade to court to not give the death penalty." "Very well, were listening..." I clear my throat and begin. "Sombra will receive the death penalty, this I am very sure of, but why? What has he done that makes him deserve it?" Yes I am quite aware that her enslaved me and the other crystal ponies, an took over the Crystal Empire, but that is in the past." I pause, take a breath, and continue. "He is of no danger to you, or any pony else for that matter. Here in Equestria, we encourage friendship and love and peace, not death and depression." "Wait a minute, who will be depressed?" Princess Cadence asks, and the other princesses, and Shinning Armor nod. "I will! I love him, and he loves me, Ever since I met him at the marketplace." "But, he enslaved, and probably whipped you." "Yes, he did. But I know that he was corrupted by dark magic, and will never do that to me ever. I Forgave him, and I think you should too." The jury deliberates for a couple minutes and then Princess Celestia speaks. "Sombra gets to return to the Crystal Empire with Amber Leaf, and will not get the death penalty." she announces. bang. "court adjured!" I run up to Sombra and give him a big hug and a kiss. "We won, we really won!" "I'm still Alive!" he exclaims.
