What a Foal Always Needs

Scootaloo has now learned about how Power Glow got into the Everfree Forest in the first place.  To her, this seems like something that mares and stallions should handle, not fillies and colts.  But she's the one who found him.  She knows to be loyal to her friends and their families.  She'll do whatever it takes to help anypony out of a sticky situation.

The next day, it is much better of a day out, so everypony has plans for the playground.

"Aren't y'gonna come with us, Scootaloo?" Applebloom asks.

"No, I'll stay in here.  I have a plan for after school today."

"A plan?"  Power, previously following Sweetie Belle and Applebloom, turns around.

"Yes, quite.  Mind staying here?"

"Not at all."  Power returns to his desk.

"So, my plan is to see what happened to you before you sent yourself out into the Everfree Forest.  After that, I'll be able to see if your brother is guilty or not.  Then, I'll take it up to Canterlot Supreme Court and see what all the jurors think."

"But wasn't there a court with just Princess Celestia?"

"From what I learned yes.  But it's just LCC, Local Canterlot Court, not CSC."

"How many judges are there?"

"Twelve."

Power is surprised by the high number, but quickly realizes that the higher the number of judges, the higher the representation of the opinion of Equestria.

"I see you've caught on to a direct relationship."

Power nods, but with uncertainty.  "What're you going to do?"

"I'll just go to your brother's house.  Don't worry, it'll be our little secret.  I'll just tell Mom and Dad that you and I will just be staying at a friend's house.  Technically, it's not lying because, well, you're my friend.  And it's as much your house as it is your brother's.  And you consider your brother a friend.  Don't you?"

Power nods again.

"Good."
