Rarity looked at Dark Side, clearly in disbelief. On the other hand, Sweetie Belle and the rest of the crusaders stared a him, mouths so wide open it was hard to see them smiling.

"Er, Y'see, it's... not my fault y'know!" Dark Side said, attempting to explain his position on what happened to his body earlier that day. Rarity just stood there in awe. At first she thought It was just a colt who looked very much like Dark Side, but now that she heard him speak, she knew it was him. From his tone of voice, to his use of the words y'know and y'see, it had to be him.

"Dark...Side? W-W-What happened?" Rarity questioned, clearly shocked at what was happening.

"I dunno! Y'see, I just woke up like this!" Dark Side exclaimed, still surprised at the fact that this was actually happening. He was sweating profusely, having to see his marefriend in this manner was embarrassing,his new body and all.

All the while, the Cutie Mark Crusaders stood behind Rarity giggling and whispering amongst themselves.

"It worked!" Sweetie Belle said. Her voice, being squeaky high, was more of a talking tone than a whisper and Dark Side picked up on what she said, using a trusty technique of his called the Sharingan. It is an ability that enhances all of the senses and can allow you to see into the near future. He had this ability for years but almost never used it, unless necessary. This time it was a necessity.

"Sweetie Belle! Quiet down! He might hear us!" Apple Bloom said in a mix of a yell and a whisper. Even if she had just whispered Dark Side still would have picked up on it.

"Oh, he can't hear us. We're talking too low!" Scootaloo said in an attempt to reassure the rest of the group of their secrecy.

"Don't worry.Y'know I hear you fine and clear." Dark Side said. He wasn't used to his lighter tone of voice, but it seemed like he wasn't turning back to normal anytime soon so he had better get used to it.

All the while Sonata sat back in her attendance desk and thought things over, her head between her hooves. She was still unsure of how she felt about what was happening. Not only was her boss now a pint sized, big brained child, but now he had to stand court in this manner. She wondered how he was going to do so. He was technically the same age but his appearance said otherwise. Suddenly, the clock behind her struck 9:00.

"Mr..... Dark Side!" Sonata began, unsure of if she should call him "MR." or not. "Your court date begins in 30 minutes!"

"Wait...WHAT!!!!!!!!" Dark Said exclaimed rather loudly. This came to him as a very unexpected shock. Well, not very unexpected, considering that's why he came to work with his suitcase, but he wasn't ready to stand trial while he was in this condition! He put his hooves on his head and began to think this through. He thought about wearing a oversized suit, but that'd look plain stupid. He made a mental not to think of this later. Right now he had to get him and three little fillies to Canterlot in under 25 minutes.

"Whats wrong Mr.... I mean Dark Side?" Sweetie Belle asked him, causing him to look up. As he did, he noticed that Rarity had left, following his 5 minutes of thinking in silence.

"Sorry girls, don't think we'll make it, y'know." He said, fresh out of ideas.

"Well... maybe Twilight can take us. We didn't do Twilight time last week. She owes us one!" Said Apple Bloom, bringing a glimmer of hope to the otherwise dead weight situation.

"Alright. Let's go then. Sonata!"

"Yes sir?!"

"Take the day off, just come back in about 6 hours. I might need you to file a few paper y'know?"

"Yes sir!" She said, grabbing her sandbag and prepping to leave.

"Well, c'mon." Dark Side said, leading them out. They followed a bit too happily behind him, giggling as they did.

After an hour or so, they arrived at Golden Oak Library. Twilight was happy to see them, hoping to get new regulars at the library. Unfortunately for her, they were there on official business and after thirty minutes of explaining their situation, she agreed on the condition that they check out at least three books by the end of the week. She teleported the four of them in record speed, making it to the courthouse with minutes to spare. Dark Side rushed into the courtroom and ran over to his bench.

"Erm... little kid what are you doing here?" Asked the Judge. He was a bald human with a gray beard. He must really like Equestria, Dark Side thought. He had been there for the last few weeks.

"Well, I am... the prosecution."

"Wait... you are?! I didn't know there were such things as midget ponies." The Judge said, unknowingly offending Dark Side.

"Your dead the first chance I get a good reason." Dark Side thought.

"No, I am not a midget pony. I am currently experiencing... medical difficulties." Dark Side explained, unknowingly of what to say.

"Well Dark Side. You've... shrunk." A voice said from across the room. Dark Side looked across the room to see Filthy Rich.

"So your my opponent huh." Dark Side said, narrowing his eyes. Filthy Rich didn't bother to respond, as the answer to that question was rather obvious.

"So... midget pony. I mean Dark Side!" The Judge said stopping himself after noticing Dark Side's glare. "We have been giving an opening statement by Mr Rich so please call your first witness.

"The prosecutions calls Scootaloo to the stand!You Douchebag ." Dark Side said, muttering the last part.
