In a secluded area, away from prying eyes and ears, two shadows in a dark alley were seen conversing to one another, one looked like a party mare with rockin' glasses, the other looked like a stylish and arrogant pony.

"What?! NO way! I humbly refuse!" said the annoyed Party Pony.

"You will do it, or else you will face the consequences of your actions... Remember that 'BAR' incident?" said the arrogant pony in a low whisper.

"Hah, fat chance, you're gonna have to do it yourself, I'm not your slave." replied the mare.

"How unfortunate... It seems you've lost yourself to the public image..." The arrogant pony walks forward towards her.

"Wh-..What are you doing?" replied the scared mare.

"A rabid fan killed you tonight..." he said as he used his horn to magically grab an iron pipe to whack the mare with.

"N-NO!" shouted the mare.

She jumps onto the stallion, grabbing the pipe. "Let go, you whorse!" As a few seconds struck by within the intense struggle, a mild and strong WHACK was heard, and the arrogant pony collapses onto the wall with the mare panting in shock, holding onto the Iron Pipe with both hooves as she just stared at the scene before her. "...What... Happened?"

The lights were put on, showing the mare who attacked the stallion in self defense, Vinyl Scratch, a well renowned DJ Pony with a track records of partying, the guard ponies yelling. "Freeze!" to Vinyl as she just looks at them in a confused manner, the look of amnesia. [END: SUSPENSE BGM]

Later on that night, she was arrested for the crime, the murder of: "Pop Splint." A personal doctor for Vinyl Scratch who worked at a clinic near her apartments that she visits regularly while she's on tour around Ponyville/Canterlot.

The newspapers sold extremely well that day...

Canterlot Courtroom Lobby

In the Courtroom Lobby, an earth pony stallion with a leaf green full suit, white work shirt underneath and a blue tie, long messy lime green mane and a short tail and clover green fur coat, with deep blue cat-like eyes and slim and slender build was pretty much nervous. "...Hooves shaking... Sweat pouring... Body heat rising... I don't know if I'm ready for this..." said the unsure stallion in his mind.

"This is your first case, right Mash?" said a lavender pony with a long purple mane melded with a pink streak, an Alicorn, a pony with Pegasus wings and Unicorn horn, a little worried about her new student.

Mash nodded. "Y-yeah, it's my first, and it's definitely not gonna be my last, Princess Twilight!" he said with deep enthusiasm, to which Twilight frowned. "I enjoy your enthusiasm and I wish that the other lawyers have the same depth as you, but don't call me a princess, I'm still your friend, remember?"

How can he forget? But it doesn't feel right without adding Princess in the beginning, it makes it feel weird without it...

"Okay, since it's your first trial, I'm going to be your co-counsel, so I'll be giving you tips and tricks of the trade within law." She said with a proud smile.

"Oh yeah, that human friend helped Rainbow Dash right? what was his name, Larry Butz?" Said Mash with a confused face, to which Twilight growled. "PHOENIX WRIGHT! Remember that name, I'm going to make him proud passing on his skills to a newbie." Mash felt bad. "S-Sorry... I'm just nervous..."

Twilight just smiled. "It happens to everypony." she said reassuringly while wrapping a wing over Mash to comfort him.

"The Defense and the Co-counsel are to head into the Courtroom, it's time..."
