The Art of Organised Cheating Part 1

Quickly, you focus all your magic on Trixie in an attempt to get her out of harm’s way. As you lift her from the cliff, however, a Pegasus guard swoops in and grabs her by the hair. She screams a sound that could only tell that she was in agony. The guard whisks her away from your sight back to Canterlot.

You’re devastated, and you buckle to the ground in a heap of sadness.

“What happened?!” Rainbow asked, demanding an answer.

“I goofed up…” you say solemnly.

Rainbow looks up into the sky, then bolts up into the air without any warning.

You know she’s going to try to save Trixie, but she can’t do it alone. She’s going to get arrested too.

You teleport onto Rainbow’s hoof while you have the chance. The extra weight seems to slow Rainbow down a bit, but she isn’t stopping. You both ascend rapidly into the air until Canterlot is visible again. You see Trixie being thrown into a cart.

“Alright, Twilight…” Rainbow yells over the wind “go get her!”

Rainbow does a somersault and flings you towards the cart. The speed is immense as you soar over the cliff and above the city.

You crash-land through the cart, tackling Trixie, and burn-out onto the street. The guards notice the escape and apprehend you both. Rainbow Dash, once again tries to be a hero, but only gets caught by two pegasus guards.

On the way to the precinct, there is no conversation. Only facial expressions. Trixie seems calm, since she’s probably been to jail before. She sends thankful faces your way for the efforts.

Rainbow looks terribly frightened and vexed. Her eyes dart every which way, not believing what she’s seeing.

You’re trying to keep a straight face, but really you’re angry. Angry with yourself for not keeping your mouth shut. You could have been done with the test and went back to the room to celebrate. What ticks you off the most is the fact that you hurt your friends, and yet they still helped you. It made you feel like a terrible little pony.

After getting to the precinct, you are tried for multiple crimes against the educational system of Canterlot, the city itself, and even the Princess, personally. In the court case, you decide to represent yourself alongside Trixie…
