Trial for a Rest

After two more class trials Judge Pinkie’s Court finished for the day. Of course her friends stayed behind to help clean up the classroom and push everything back into its rightful position.

“Phew, what a day,” Sunset said while pulling a table. “Who could’ve thought that mock class trials can be so exhausting.”

“I mean, it was a surprise to see you jump in to become Wallflower’s defense attorney,” Fluttershy said.

“Oh yeah, that was so awesome,” Rainbow added. “Everybody was totally convinced it was her and just as Pinkie was about to give her verdict, BAM, you jump in to defend her.”

“That was so cool, Sunny, I nearly broke character,” Pinkie admitted.

“Every time it looked like Flash had you cornered, you pulled out a new twist to turn the whole case on its head. You were a true Turnabout Terror, darling.”

“It was not a big deal girls, I just did what I thought was right. And Flash also did a great job as prosecutor, he even supported me when he realized who the true culprit was. Though he could have toned down the air guitaring a bit.”

“Still, can’t believe it was actually Bon Bon,” Rainbow said. “I was so sure it was Wallflower, she just has these evil eyes.”

“I’m still here and not deaf.”

“Sorry!”

“And we are done, girls,” Pinkie announced as Applejack pushed the teacher’s desk into place. “Thanks for the help, everyone. It’s good to see we finally have order in the court again.”

Author's Note:

I'll leave it up to the judges of the contest if these bonus chapters are counted as part of the main story, as their own separate entries or will just be completely ignored. I won't be angry or sad, no matter what they'll choose. I actually had a bit of fun writing this story.

Originally a term from science fiction fandom:

A feghoot (also known as a story pun or poetic story joke) is a humorous short story or vignette ending in a pun (typically a play on a well-known phrase), where the story contains sufficient context to recognize the punning humor.^[1] It can be considered a type of shaggy dog story.

I want to hear Sunset defending Wallflower ace attorney style now... shippingly...

But yes, good horrible puns all around.

I honestly don't get that last one. Still, much fun and quality groaners all around. I feel vaguely proud of being able to translate the chapter titles. Best of luck in the contest.

Come on, they cleaned up the room they used for the trial, they literally brought order to the court room. The rest is just a bit of random padding dialogue filled with even more Ace Attorney references.
And thanks, of course

These were a good trio of mini stories. I had a thought to write a story using the joke from chapter 1; but couldn't have done it justice as you did
