Canterlot Castle / Princess Celestia, Princess Luna / Tuesday, 3:00 PM
Princess Celestia's PoV

Today I wanted to know about Drew being part Alicorn, I mean, it just didn't add up, nor did it make sense at all. So I took a look at the Canterlot Archives for some information, it turns out Delta wasn't the first humans here, interesting.

In the book it said about a woman here from long ago has mysteriously teleported here, just like the other humans. It also said something about the woman a few years later was carrying another Alicorn's foal, it turned out to be a miscarriage. After that event the woman died of giving birth to a second foal, to keep the species alive, there were many more Alicorns back then than there are today.

"Lulu, take a look at this, it may have to do with how Drew is part Alicorn." I gestured her over here, she was quite intrigued with this book, so she took it into further study, if my assumptions are correct, Drew might be directly related to Alicorns after all.

"This is quite the find Tia, do you mind if I borrow it for a while?" She asked me, I gave a chuckle.

"Of course, Lulu, just make sure to bring it back when you're done, I must be going now." I said, walking back into my room, down the hall. The book I have found cracked the case wide open on why Drew was part Alicorn, it made much more sense now, but a human/Alicorn hybrid? You don't get to see that everyday, or ever for that matter. Maybe when the woman gave birth to the miscarriage there was an accidental teleportation spell from the baby to another world. That's why Drew's family was Alicorn related, but the chances of that happening are very slim. I just decided to rest on it, maybe I can find out when I go to sleep. Never in my thousand years of being alive have I ever come across this, this is just the first of this happening.

Ponyville Court House / Drew, Rainbow, Nick, Mayor Mare, Twilight / Tuesday, 5:00 PM

So here's the deal, we were originally going to play with the girls today, but Twilight had an idea of using a pretend court system, I was stuck with the Defense Attorney, while Twilight was the prosecution attorney, Nick was the victim, Mayor Mare was the judge, and Rainbow was the defendant. The Mayor came up with the scenario.

"Twilight, your opening statement please, court is now in session." The mayor started out, Twilight gladly replied with her opening statement.

"We are here because the victim, Nick Churchill, was struck with a blunt instrument and killed two days ago near Sweet Apple Acres, we suspect Rainbow Dash for killing him because she was the closest one there to the event. And that we have proof she did it." She stated, I didn't know anything about being a defense attorney, but I did play Phoenix Wright when I was little, so I know very little.

"Drew, what was this instrument used to kill Nick?" I gulped, and said that it was a baseball bat that did the deed, and there were Rainbow's hoofprints on it, which wasn't good.

"Twilight, please call in your first witness, if you would." Twilight called in her next witness, which was Pinkie Pie, I know how hard it is to break Pinkie, so this would be hard right off the bat.

"Witness, please state your name and occupation please." Twilight said, in a neutral manner, Pinkie Pie gladly did so.

"Pinkie Pie's the name and baking's the game!" I facepalmed at how stupid that sounded.

"Now witness, your testimony please." Twilight also looked annoyed, but Pinkie Pie was a tough one to crack.

"And Drew, you may begin cross-examination." The Mayor added.
(Listen to this)

"Well, I was planning on going to Applejack's place because she invited me for dinner." She started out.

"HOLD IT!" I shouted, continuing.

"Why did she invite you to dinner in the first place?" I asked, she giggled at my seriousness and replied.

"She had extra food from the apple harvest silly!" She then continued her testimmony.

"I then saw Rainbow flying away from Sweet Apple Acres, she looked like she was in a hurry to get somewhere."

"HOLD IT!" I shouted again, getting her attention.

"Where was she flying to? Where in Sweet Apple Acres did she fly from?" I asked, putting my hand on my chin.

"She was flying away from the apple orchard, and it looked like she was going towards the guard station." She added, I wasn't so sure about that, but I let her continue.

"I then walked over to where she was flying from, to see Nick on the ground, dead. I knew he was dead just by looking at him." She thought about it really hard, but I knew something was up, I looked at the autopsy report, saying that he was alive for a few more moments and then died after losing too much blood. So I raised an objection.

"OBJECTION! The autopsy report I have here says that he was alive for a few more moments and THEN died of blood loss! What do you have to say to that!" I asked, getting my awesome on. Pinkie wasn't expecting this, so she was struck hesitant, thinking of an answer.

"OBJECTION!" Twilight countered me, continuing.

"Your honor, the defense has an outdated autopsy report. The new one says he was dead upon contact with the weapon." Twilight replied, I was at a loss, and Pinkie continued.
(Continue Previous Music)

"I then chased after Rainbow, asking her why she ran away. She said she was gonna notify the guards at the station, but they took her in instead." Her testimony was pretty rock solid, I couldn't do anything about it.
(End Music)

"If you don't have any more pressing to do Mr. Goulding, shall we continue on to the next witness? We will have a five minute recess to get the witness ready." The Mayor asked, I had to get the next one for sure. After the five minute recess was over, Twilight called the witness to the stand. Which was Rarity, who I knew could lie when needed.

"My name is Miss Rarity, occupation, Fashion designer." She calmly stated.

"Witness, if you would please tell us your testimony. Drew you may start cross-examination." The judge stated.
(Music)

"Well, I was heading over to Applejack's for the same reason as Pinkie, because I always wanted to try Apple family Apple Pie. I went there around 8:00 PM." She started, I let her go on.

"I didn't go with Pinkie because I had an order to finish before I went over to Applejack's place." I pressed her on that.

"HOLD IT!" I paused until I had her attention.

"Who's order did you have to fill in?" She was hesitant at first, but managed to say something.

"I had to finish the order for...Sapphire Shores, yeah, her. She was going on another tour around Equestria." She responded, I had noticed her pause, probably thinking of something.

"What type of dress were you making her?" She couldn't think of anything, but Twilight stepped in to save her.

"OBJECTION! What does this have to do with the case! It's completely irrelevant!" She stated, but I had my reasons.

"OBJECTION! This case has EVERYTHING to do with her making the dresses!" I pulled out a picture of Nick when he died, he was holding a dress in his arms, I don't know exactly why though..

"TAKE THAT! See here Twilight, Nick right there is holding a dress in his arms! This case revolves around her making those dresses!" I responded, I had caught Twilight off guard, making her stutter.

"Hmm, I am quite intrigued where this is going, Twilight, your objection is overruled." Luckily I had the judge on my side for now. As for the question, she had lost it a few hours ago, she didn't get to finish it before Nick had borrowed it.

"So, Nick had decided to prank you by taking one of your dresses I assume?" I asked, she nodded silently, she was on the verge of cracking, she continued her testimony.

"So, once I had found the body I notified the police, but they were aleady on the case, because Rainbow Dash already told them." 'Gotcha now', I thought.

"OBJECTION!" I shouted, pausing for dramatic effect.
(Music here)

"How did you KNOW Rainbow Dash notified the guards!?" I had caught her now, I knew she set her up. She was struck with my question.

"I..umm..GRRRRRRR!" She couldn't say anything, she knew it was over, until Twilight had to take the spotlight again.

"OBJECTION! She already knows because the guards ponies had told her about Rainbow telling them!" She retorted.

"OBJECTION! Nick was still alive when Rarity had showed up! How do you explain that!? His time of death was 8:15!" I got this case in the bag, there was 15 minute gap between Rarity going over to the barn, and Nick's time of death, there was a huge contradiction in her testimony. Rarity couldn't take it any more, she was finally cracked.

"OBJECTION! What about the murder weapon!?" I have completely forgot about the murder weapon. Turns out Rainbow had a thing for baseball, so I used that against Twilight.

"Rainbow's hoofprints have nothing to do with the murder! If you would test how recent those hoofprints are, she had left that bat over at Applejack's for weeks! There were no recent ones! Just...magical residue." I gave a sly smirk, Twilight was dumbfounded. She had nothing else to object to, because she was stuck in a rut, not wanting to get out from it. I had this case in the bag. Rarity couldn't take the pressure anymore, so she just gave up, and admitted to the crime, which was easier than I expected

"Okay, I'm ready to declare a verdict. I here by pronounce Rainbow Dash...NOT GUILTY!" Mayor Mare yelled into the courthouse, and music started to play out of nowhere.

"You did it Drew! You saved me from getting rotten tomatoes thrown at me!" Rainbow came up to hug me, I gave her a kiss.

"It was no problem love, I had this case in the bag ever since I started." I boasted, but getting rotten tomatoes thrown at her? I thought if this was a real case they would've killed her. Twilight came over and congratulated me.

"I had no idea Drew had Defense Attorney skills! I thought you were in the special forces?" She punched me in the arm, she was right, I just got the skills from a game from the early 21st century. To my surprise I'm shocked that I remember so much from it.

We headed out of the courthouse, I was treating everypony to dinner at our favorite cafe down the street from the where we were. Until I heard trumpets blaring from across the street, with Princess Celestia coming out from her royal carriage.

"Princess, it's good to see you, I'm treating everypony to dinner, you want to come along?" I asked pleasantly, she nodded, telling me that she needed to talk to me anyways. We talked over dinner, Rainbow told the princess everything about what happened just a few hours ago, I was a crimson red when she finished. She said I may need to practice my Attorney skills even more, she had a law school in Canterlot just for that.

"So Drew, I was researching in the Canterlot Archives about why you're part Alicorn, and I found out that you and your Crew weren't the first humans here. Turns out there was a single woman, who lived the rest of her life, and died here, and had two foals, one lived and died here, and the other was a miscarriage. We may think that the miscarriaged one could've teleported to Earth before it was born, and it was related to you, many years after." She finished, my mind has been blown for the second time I was here, but it did make sense in the long run.

"Now that you've mentioned it, my great, great grandmother turned up missing one day in the early 1940's, she's been considered dead when we just gave up. We never found out where she went." I said, putting my hand on my chin, thinking about it, the coincidence in this was just plain creepy.

"Well, this just turned awkward..." Nick said, out of the dead silence after the conversation was over, I chuckled and kept eating, but Rainbow was already done eating, waiting for the rest of us to finish up.

"Drew, are you gonna take up the princess' offer to go to law school? I heard it only lasts for like 3 months." Twilight had asked me. I knew I wanted to, but three months? That's a long time to be away from your buddies, but I nodded, saying that I will go. Princess Celestia said that I can go next month, to practice my abilities.

Three Months Later...

Law School was completely boring, but interesting, I studied law and all that type of shit. I didn't know if I was gonna need it in the future, but it's always good to have and not need, than to need and not have. I was finally going to return to Ponyville, after three shitty, boring months of boredom.

"Rainbow! It's good to see ya! How have you been?" I asked, giving her a kiss and giving her a ride on my back to my house. She had asked me about law school, I had told her that it was the most boring thing I've ever experienced, and she knew that was gonna be true.

I had re-introduced myself to everypony, giving them a hug, in which I was gonna have to get used to hugging if I'm gonna live here for the rest of my life. I for once was looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow, because they wouldn't let you sleep for more than 5 hours a night. Now, I was gonna sleep in my own bed, with my girlfriend, I missed sleeping with her because it was very lonely in law school too.
