"All rise. The honorable Judge Small Claims presiding."

"Thank you, you may be seated." The judge shuffled the paperwork the bailiff gave him. "Mrs. Tap, you're suing Ms. Dusk for misrepresentation, correct?"

"Yes, Your Honor."

"Miss Dusk, you've filed a countersuit for wrongful termination, is that correct?"

"Yep!"

"...Miss Dusk, please don't chew gum in my courtroom."

"Whoops! My bad."

"Alright...Mrs. Tap, you may begin."

"Thank you, Your Honor. I hired Ms. Dusk to work in my daycare center. On her resume, she claimed to have considerable experience in caring for children. During her brief time in my employ, she hogged all the toys from the children, ate the cookies that were supposed to be handed out at snack time, disrupted naptime, and watched movies full of graphic violence, sex, and profanity on the TV I use for educational children's programming. After that, I did some checking up on her, and learned she has never worked as a babysitter in Canterlot. As you can see from her application and resume, she clearly falsified her work experience."

"I see...Ms. Dusk, how do you explain yourself?"

"Your Honor, if I may, I'm representing Ms. Dusk."

"Alright, and you are...?"

"Ms. Blaze, Your Honor."

"Very well, Ms. Blaze. Continue."

"Your Honor, we contest that Mrs. Tap misrepresented the expected qualifications on the job application, and that her grounds for the dismissal of my client are spurious at best."

"Ms. Blaze, based on Mrs. Tap's testimony, I find these claims to be frankly outrageous. I hope you have a very compelling argument."

"I do, Your Honor. If you will look at the documentation my client submitted, and at the application form Mrs. Tap presented my client, you will notice that it clearly asks for the applicant's experience in sitting."

"I do in fact see that, Ms. Blaze. I also see that your client claims to have 'years of experience', which would seem contradictory to Mrs. Tap's account..."

"Your Honor, I would like to point out that the documentation explicitly says sitting. Not 'babysitting'. Just 'sitting'."

"I've been sitting for years and years! See? I'm sitting right now!"

"..."

"Your Honor, I move for dismissal of Mrs. Tap's suit against my client due to the ambiguous and easily misinterpreted nature of the wording on the application."

"That's...that's crazy! You're both crazy! Anyone applying to work in a daycare should know I expect them to have babysitting experience!"

"Mrs. Tap, that's enough. As absurd as this is, I'm afraid the defendant has a valid point..."

* * * * *

"Well, at least we don't owe that crazy screaming lady any money."

"Yeah, but that meanie poo-poo head judge wouldn't make her give me my job back!"

"Sonata...do you want to work for that psychopath?"

"Well...no...and the kids are kinda super-whiny. But...but they had the coolest toys!"

"You're the worst, Sonata..."
