"Now that we know for sure that the Witness was in fact in the Hospital up till now. I do think that Mr. Wright's theory is very plausible."   Judge Harshwhinny said. ("I-I'm sorry Dear...professionalism, right...?")

("Crapbaskets...") Larvia thought. ("They cannot find out the truth!")

"Any last words?" Phoenix asked smugly.

"Yes actually." Larvia answered.

"There is one little flaw in your story!" Larvia exclaimed. "Where's the Crystal Heart Mr. Wrong!? If I don't have that then I can't be the murderer!"

("S-shit...Looks like the Phoenix Owned Count will be going up today") Phoenix though. ("Where could she have hidden the Heart!")

"My, My! The Prosecution is right! If the Defense cannot present proof of the Hostage and Crystal Heart being in the Prosecution's possession, then Mr. Wright's claims become null and void!" Judge Harshwhinny announced. ("I-I'm sorry now to you...Phoenix Wright and Princess Cadence...")

"I-I have no proof...Your Honor..." Phoenix said and slammed his head on his desk.

"Then I must say that..."

"I can't let you do that Judge Fooooox!" Flash Sentry said.

"Ummm, It's Harshwhinny actually." the Judge replied.

"Oh, right. Sorry, pal." Flash remarked embarrassed. "But I request that the Defense be given one more day of Investigation! I swear! I never saw Princess Cadance leave the Castle the Night of the Murder!"

"You have a valid, point. But you don't have permission to ask that. You however Mr. Wright. Do you want this last day of investigation?" Judge Harshwhinny asked.

"Yes, please..." Phoenix said.

"The Prosecution will not object on one condition." Larvia commented.

"And w-what would that be..." Phoenix asked.

"That the Defense comes up with the Decisive Evidence of course. Otherwise, if he loses this case. He's to never show his face in Equestria again!" Lariva proposed.

"Phoenix what do we do?" Twilight asked.

"The Defense agrees. Your Honor." Phoenix blurted out.

"WHAT?!" Twilight said, her wings shot open and the left one smacked Phoenix in the face. "B-but..."

"Court is adjourned."

On his way out Phoenix picked up a Purple Feather.

Defendant Lobby No.2

June 12

8:15 a.m.

"PHOENIX WHAT THE HELL?!" Twilight asked. "DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU AGREED TO!?"

"I'm sorry Twilight, it's the only way..." Phoenix answered. "But I have a question for you."

"W-what?!" Twilight stammered.

"When you yelled in Court, something hit me in the face." Phoenix answered. "Felt like a wing. And the only one sitting with me, was you."

"Umm, that's funny Phoenix, hehe." Twilight laughed.

"Well I can see them clearly now. Your wings I mean." Phoenix continued. "And I could have sworn that only Princesses were winged unicorns."

"O-oh you think...hehe...No, I was just trying out a new spell so I could fly to Cloudsdale and visit with Rainbow Dash." Twilight said uneasy.

"Nice try Twilight. But I know that Rainbow Dash moved to Ponyville before even my first time here!" Phoenix replied. "So, am I wrong in saying you became a princess?"

"Y-yes. I mean NO! I m-mean you're wrong!" Twilight said.

Just then:

("Well not who I was expecting to have to unlock, but hey. I'll go with it.") Phoenix thought.

Magatama: -My Wings-

"You're a Princess, aren't you Twilight?" Phoenix asked.

"No Phoenix. I told you I was using a spell to grow wings." Twilight answered.

"Isn't that a bit odd. I mean, on the day of a trial no less." Phoenix pressed.

"Well. I guess so..." Twilight said. "But...you have yet to prove that I am royalty."

Phoenix thought for a second. "Hmm, how to break her..."

"In fact, how do you even know if these wings are real?" Twilight asked.

"Ah I got it!"

"I found this feather in the Courtroom after you hit me with your wings!" Phoenix said. "It feels like a pretty normal enough feather. And it's the perfect purple to belong to you Twilight. And as I said before, only Royal ponies are winged unicorns!"

A lock broke.

"OK. It's my feather. But, how do you know that only royalty are Alicorns. The correct name." Twilight said.

"Easy." Phoenix said.

"These are the only other Alicorns I've met, and they're all Princesses!" Phoenix exclaimed.

Twilight's remaining two locks broke, she knew Phoenix had her.

"That'll do Phoenix, That'll do..."

"Yes...I became a Princess a year after you left." Twilight answered faithfully.

"See that wasn't that hard Twilight. Now, that means you were at the Royal Summit, right?" Phoenix asked.

"Yes." a voice answered for Twilight.

"Princess!" Twilight exclaimed.

"C-celestia?!" Phoenix stammered.

"Why so surprised, Mr. Wright?" Celestia asked.

"N-nothing..." Phoenix answered. ("She had Psyche Locks too, last time I was here. Better wait till I can get her alone. I need to know how she knew me!")

"I have a request Mr. Wright." Celestia commanded.

("Oh God I hope it's not like that Fanfic Maya showed me! Yes I found out that we have a show about these ponies back home.") Phoenix thought.

"That green stone, may I see it?" she asked.

("What could she want with the Magatama? I hope she doesn't want to destroy it...Maya's anger would be over a ridiculous number like 8000 or so. On a scale of 1 to 10 no less.") Phoenix said to himself.

"Now! Mr. Wright!" Celestia commanded.

"Oh yes, sorry." Phoenix answered. ("OH WAIT REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED WHEN TWILIGHT TOUCHED IT!!!")

Just then the room glowed green.

("That's not good...") Phoenix thought.

"Thank you Mr. Wright. I'll be on my way." Celestia said walking off and placed the Magatama back into Phoenix's hand.

("OK, I've touched it.") Celestia thought.

"Good. Now on the last day of the trial get it back from him and use what I thought you. Phoenix is going to need all the help he can get this time around."
