It has been two months now since the events of Labyrinthia. Only Maya and that English gentleman would believe what happened and not talking about an extraordinary event just because of the fear that you would be labeled insane is quite the bummer. Life goes on I suppose, I was handed a new case yesterday and today I plan to investigate the scene of the crime with my trusty assistant Maya Fey. It is funny, she deals with the supernatural all the time (being a sprit medium and all) and I wonder how she suppresses the need to exclaim I have seen wonders!

We arrived at the scene a quarter past 2:00 in the afternoon, apparently we caught a lucky break with this case for once since the scene was a high rise luxury apartment. Still, someone died in that room but I have made too many tips to the ghetto part of the town to not feel excited when the finer things in life present themselves even in unfortunate situations. Scratch that, the whole condo was turned upside down and a repulsive odor gags Maya and I as we stepped in the doorway. My inner detective senses tell me that whoever broke in was looking for something specific.

"What do you think of that safe over there, Nick?", said Maya.

"I don't think that was what they where after it hasn't been touched, but the bookshelves have been ransacked!", I say.

We saunter over to the bookshelves and start lifting books off the floor to see if there was any correlation to the crime. "Animation, an industry overview", "Business Insider on the art of Children's Programing" where some of the names I read aloud as I shuffled through the piles of literature.

"So who was this victim, Nick was he some sort of animator or something?", inquired Maya.

"One would think, but the defendant stated that he was a close friend to the victim. In the interview he said something about the victim being an enthusiast and collector of children's Programing.", I retorted.

"Hey Nick check this out!", Maya exclaimed.

I walked over to her and she showed me a book that looked very old and was leather bounded. The most interesting feature of it was a horse head embedded with jewels on the cover. I told Maya that I didn't wish to mess with that one (it looked so unnatural and similar in appearance of the... no it can't be).

"Come on Nick, live a little! This could be important, the book looks nothing like any other book in here,", Maya said a little annoyed.

I reached out and grasped the book and read aloud from the first page.
"Once upon a time in the land of EQUESTRIA...", I read aloud.

The room started to spin and before I new it I was being violently sucked through a vortex as my body contorted in to well... Something not my body! Here I go again!

I awoke to find myself in bed. Phew, I am glad it was just a dream and I could have lived happily under that conclusion for the rest of my life. As I reached to wipe the sweat from my forehead I noticed something that wasn't typical of my daily routine. Hoofs! I have hoofs! Oh no,no, no! This can't be happening. I have fur, it is like Its like a wool sweater! I need a mirror, I need a mirror! Yep, I can confirm I am a horse...

"Oh, great you are up!", a pink horse said.

I looked over at her, she was overly giddy in appearance.

"I found you on the street last night, silly. The Cakes told me you must have had too much cider or something and to leave you alone but I had never see someone in such a deep sleep before in my life! So, I brought you in and you are in my apartment above Sugar Cube Corner. Are you feeling any better now?, the Pink horse said.

"Fine, just that I am a horse! And you are a horse! Where are we? Who are You?" I managed to get out before pausing for breath.

"Wow, you must have been on some strong brew! Let me jog your memory, you are a horse and I am a horse. We live in Equistria, and my name is Pinkie Pie. What is yours?", she said without skipping a beat.

I looked at her straight in the eye and proclaimed with the confidence of the one thing I knew for sure in this new world, "My name is Phoenix Wright, and I am an Attorney."
