Turnabout 1

There was a sudden flash in the dark tunnels and all of a sudden there was a scream. The purple unicorn in a frenzy state was stunned in horror with knife on hoof. She was standing there confused, next to a corpse.

A person with black hair, suit, and glasses came into the court room and stood at the side. A few minutes later Phoenix wright and Professor Layton came in and sat down at the defense. They both nod at each other, ready to take this case. On the other side, Prosecutor Trixie sat down and smirked. "We meet again Mr. Wrong."

Phoenix frowned,"It's Wright."

At the sound of a door opening, the Judge walked to his chair and took a seat. He looked down at the defense and prosecution. "Oh my, Miss Trixie! It has been awhile since we last met."

Trixie faced the Judge and smiled, "It has been awhile. I find it funny that we are doing a case that involves that lavander loser again."

The Judge sigh, "I do hope it is another accident instead of an actual murder this time.

Professor Layton looked confused and whispers to Phoenix, "What is the Judge talking about?"

Phoenix place a hand behind his head,"Heh... Funny story about that. Me and the Judge was summoned to our client's world and we did a trial there. Turns out there was no murder but an accident."

"I see..."

The Judge looked at the clock and then cleared his throat. "Ahem, It is time. We are here in the murder trial of Twilight Sparkle, is both sides ready?"

Trixie gave a confident pose,"The prosecution is ready your honor."

"The Defense is ready." replied Layton

The Judge nods his head,"The prosecution may make her opening statement."

"Hmm very well."

Opening statement

"At around 3:00 PM the Victim was stabbed 3 times and died instantly as detailed in this autospy report."

Estimated Time of Death: 3:00 PM-4:00 PM
Cause: Died instantly from 3 stab wounds on the neck.

"Our detective has found Twilight Snarkle at the scene of the crime with the murder weapon on hoof.
Trixie feels like this is an open and shut case."

The Judge nods,"Hmm... so do I. Does the Defense has anything to say?"

Prof. Layton nods his head,"Yes your honor. I would like to cross examine the detective."

Trixie smirked,"Hmph. Very well, he is already here in the court."

The black haired man walked up to the stand.

The Judge watched the man took the stand,"Prosecutor Luis! You are also a detective!?"

"Yes I am. You see, when I arrived at the scene of the crime, the defendant was panicking with a knife on hoof.
I am pretty sure if you see someone with a panicked expression with a knife near a dead body, you would link the person
with the body. This is the knife she was holding."

Has the blood of the victim and hoofmark of Twilight.

Prof. Layton took his time examining the knife,"Are you sure the hoofmark was the defendant's?"

"Yes. The knife only has the hoofmark of the defendant."

"Where does the knife come from? Who is the owner of it?"

"We don't know."

The professor examined the knife again,"Hold it! There is a bite mark on the hilt! If ponies carry things in their mouths this could link to the owner or perpetrator."

"We had that mark scanned. The bite mark is linked to the victim. Possibly using her mouth to maneuver the weapon away from the murderer."

"Ahem" Trixie interrupted,"Your honor. Trixie would like to present a note written by the defendant to her friends."

To Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy

Sorry girls, I cant be at the party. I need to finish-

"As you can see, the defendant was going to finish something... or somebug."

The Judge blinked in surprise,"Hmmm it does seem to add into the case that she was going for the victim."

"Hold it!" Replied Professor Layton,"What about the motive?"

Trixie smirked with her head held high,"In the past during the defendant's Brother's wedding. The victim tried to take over Canterlot, disguised as the bride. The defendant, Twilight Snarkle, was the only one to see through the victim's disguise. But nopony believed her, not even the princess. She has probably been planning to get rid of her ever since."

"... Your honor, I would like to present an evidence as proof that there is another pony there."

The Judge nods his head,"Oh, please do..."

"I present to you the footage of the scene of the crime. As you can see, there are 3 ponies here. One is the defendant the other is the victim."

Footage of 3 ponies, 2 are the victim and the defendant and the 3rd one is hard to tell from the angle

The Judge squints his eyes at the footage,"Then who is the third one? I can't really see the 3rd pony that well."

"It is Pinkimena Diane Pie, AKA Pinkie Pie."

"My word! You're right."

"I would like to cross-examine this pony."

The black haired prosecutor shook his head,"She could not make it to the court today, as she is attending a party with her older sister in celebration of some sort of Rockterit."

The Judge faced the defense,"So are you saying the murderer could be the defendant's very own friend!?"

Layton nods,"Yes. But since we cannot have her here, then how about one of her other friends?"

Trixie rolled her eyes,"The note did have her friend's name on them. Pick one, we don't have all day."

Layton hummed to himself as he looked over the named. He stopped at one,"Then I would like to cross examine Rainbow Dash."

The Judge nods,"We will take a 20 minute break as we escort Miss Dash over to the stand."

20 minutes later

Phoenix walked into the room and sat down. Trixie glanced up and noticed something,"What happened to that hat wearing smiling buffoon?"

"He had to go somewhere, I will be taking this case myself from now on."

Rainbow walked into the room and stood at the stand, gulping at the memories of the last time she was standing here. The Judge sat down and looked at the clock. He slammed his gavel. "The 20 minute break is over, the trial may continue."

Rainbow Dash look nervously over the stand,"Umm, someone called me?"

Trixie wasn't amused at seeing this pegasus again,"State your name and occupation for the records."

"I'm Rainbow Dash, the fastest pegasus in all of Equestria! I'm a Wonderbolt Cadet! ... What am I here for?"

"To testify what you were doing at the time of the murder."

"There was a murder?"

"Yes there was. Didn't you get a note from the defendant?"

"Umm... I was partying too hard to notice that." At that comment, Trixie and Phoenix notice something.

Phoenix stared into Rainbow Dash's eyes,"Rainbow Dash, I need you to tell me the truth. What did you see at the party."

"Oh it was great!"

Testimony

The party starts at 3:00 PM
I arrived first because I am awesome.
When Twilight was there she was weird because she could dance really well.
Then Pinkie came and dragged her away to her older sister's party.

The Judge closed his eyes in thought,"hmm. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong. The defense may cross-examine the witness."

Cross-examine

The party starts at 3:00 PM

"Hold it! Where was this party located."

"It was at Sugarcube Corner."

"... Continue"

I arrived first because I am awesome.

"Hold it! Are you sure you are the first to arrive? Was pinkie there?"

"No, I was definitely there first."

"... Continue."

When Twilight was there she was weird because she could dance really well.

"Hold it! What's wrong with her dancing really well?"

"Objection!" Trixie slammed her hoof on the desk,"What does the defendant's dancing skills has anything to do with murder?"

Rainbow Dash chuckled,"Well, Twilight usually dance really bad, like she is having a seizure."

"Ah! Trixie was ignored!"

Pheonix nods,"Okay continue."

Then Pinkie came and dragged her away to her older sister's party.

"Hold it! What time did she arrived?"

"At 3:30 PM."

Phoenix scratched his chin,"Can you verify something for me?"

"Sure"

Phoenix hands over the camera footage,"Does that 3rd pony looks like pinkie?"

Rainbow looked at the pony phoenix was pointing at,"I can't really tell with the footage being in black and white but i remember that curly mane anywhere. That is definitely Pinkie."

"With your pegasus perception, can you see if she is holding a knife?"

"No. The camera angle is off. I can only see her plot."

Phoenix frowned as he remembers the photo of Rainbow Dash he accidentally brought over from Equestria,"..."

Trixie is curious of that long pause,"Something wrong Mr. Wrong?"

Phoenix shook his head,"No." There has to be something missing...

The pegasus was worried of Phoenix's long pause,"Would you like to here my testimony again?"

"!!! ...Yes. Please do."

Cross-examine x2
The party starts at 3:00 PM.
I arrived first because I am awesome.
At that sentence Phoenix noticed something.
When Twilight was there she was weird because she could dance really well.
Then Pinkie came and dragged her away to her older sister's party.

"Objection!" Slamming his desk, Phoenix point at Rainbow,"The time of death was around 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM but pinkie wasn't there at the party at 3:00 PM. In fact she came later at 3:30 PM. That means Pinkie could be at the scene before 3:30 PM and later dragged Twilight to the crime to frame her!"

The Judge was surprised,"My word! That is outrageous!"

Rainbow teared up,"What! Pinkie... why..."

Trixie slammed her desk,"Objection! While that may be true, how did she murder the victim. As you may remember, the knife has Twilight Snarkle's hoof prints on them, and the bite mark isn't that earth pony's."

The Judge nods,"Miss Trixie is right, Objection overruled."

Phoenix place his hands on the side of his head and rest them on the desk,"No!" Think Phoenix think! ... There has to be a way to convince that Pinkie Pie did it. He started to examine the knife again,"The knife has bite marks on them!"

The Judge shook his head,"I do believe Layton said there was a bite mark on the knife. Or did I hear that incorrectly."

"Then Professor Layton was incorrect."

"Even if that was the case, Luis would have found the owners of the bite marks. But there was only the bite marks of the victim."

"Ah! Nooo..." Phoenix stared at his evidenced and reviewed the case,"I would like to hear what my defendant saw at the other party."

Trixie rose an eyebrow,"Grasping at straws Mr. Wrong?"

Phoenix shook his head,"No, we should look at all sides. I'm curious at what Twilight was doing at the party in Sugarcube Corner."

The Judge nods,"I am also interested at what Miss Sparkle has seen."

Trixie just stared blankly at the defense,"She would probably lie to get out of the verdict."

The Judge yawned,"We shall have another 20 minute break, as we bring the defendant over." The Judge slammed his gavel as everyone dispersed.

20 minutes later

Twilight slowly walked up to the stand and sigh. Her eyes glazed over the prosecution side.

The Judge walked in and took a seat. Staring at the clock, the Judge sat there and look over at Twilight,"Is there something wrong Miss Sparkle?"

Twilight sigh,"No..."

"Are you nervous about the verdict?"

"No... I kind of want the verdict hoofed down on me..."

The Judge gave a curious stare towards Twilight,"Do you know something Miss Sparkle?"

"..."

Phoenix, Trixie, and Luis walked into the court room and took their seats. The Judge took a quick glance at the clock and slammed his gavel,"It has been 20 minutes, the trial may continue."

Twilight looked over to Trixie,"I'm here on the stand... Hey Trixie... How is the prosecution..."

Trixie frowned,"It is going really well."

Phoenix looked over his notes,"Twilight can you tell me what happened at the party in Sugarcube Corner?"

Twilight was confused,"... What party?"

Pheonix and Trixie was surprised from that statement. Trixie slammed her hoof on the desk,"What do you mean what party!? You were even writing a note to your friends!"

Twilight stared blankly at them,"I was writing the note but Pinkie came into my library and dragged me off to her sister's party. I didn't know the party was in the Badlands with Chrysalis."

Phoenix almost feel backwards,"!!! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-" Trixie follows in and then the Judge.

"Whaaaaaaaaaaat? ... Sorry I had to."

Twilight was nervous looking left and right,"Why is everypony so surprised?"

Trixie recovered,"We didn't know the actual location of that other party."

Phoenix scratched his chin,"So her sister's party was the scene of the crime. How can she be at two parties at once?"

"What are you implying Mr. Wrong?"

"So she had twins? That is the only way she can be at both parties."

Twilight shook her head,"I don't think so... I've been to her family's rock farm and she only has 3 sisters. None of them are twins."

"... 3 sisters?" Phoenix hummed,"Twilight did you see what happened... Who murdered Chrysalis."

Twilight coiled back and started to sweat.

Phoenix sigh,"Twilight this is important..."

Twilight started to tear up,"I d-don't, want to say..."

Phoenix gave Twilight a stern stare,"..."

Twilight started sobbing,"... hic... She did it... Pinkie did it... She killed her..."

Trixie frowned and slammed her hoof on her desk. Feeling devastated that her rival would lower herself to this, she yelled,"Objection! She is lying! She is the defendant after all."

Twilight shook her head,"... No... I can't live with the guilt anymore... I can't cover for her anymore... I saw her did it... I was too afraid to do anything..."

Phoenix sighed,"So she did do it..."

Twilight covered her face with her hooves,"I'm sorry Pinkie..."

Trixie slammed her desk again,"Objection! What about the Knife! There has to be a way for her to use the knife. Only Snarkle's prints are on it.

Phoenix was confused, it seems to come back to the knife,"What about the knife?"

The black haired prosecutor announced,"The only way a pony can use the knife is with their hooves or their mouths. Like the defendant, the victim, and our prosecutor."

Phoenix frowned,"That is true..." Wait a minute! Twilight, Chrysalis, and Trixie has one thing in common. What about their horns! If the knife has bite and hoof marks on them why didn't a unicorn like Twilight or the victim use their horns!

"Objection!" Trixie points at Twilight,"Perhaps Twilight was exhausted using magic and finished her off with the knife."

Phoenix shook his head,"No she wasn't, she was panicking..."

"And so she killed the victim while panicking." Trixie replied.

Phoenix stood up straight,"No... I believe that something happened at the scene to cause Twilight and the victim to panic. Then Pinkie rushed in holding a knife on hoof to assault the victim. Chrysalis notice this and fought off using her mouth instead of magic, as she was caught off guard. But even tho she was able to bite the handle, Pinkie maneuvered the knife so that it turns while in the victim's mouth, stabbing her throat. Then she proceeded to stab 2 more times to make sure the deed was done. In the adrenaline induced panic, Twilight watched this happened. After the deed, she watched her friend cleaned the knife of her hoofprints and place it on Twilight's hooves. She was too afraid to do anything as Pinkie left her at the scene of the crime.

Twilight couldn't lift her head up,"..."

"Am I right Twilight."

"... Yes..."

The Judge was shocked,"My word! That must have been horrible Miss Sparkle. Does the Prosecution has anything to add?"

Trixie sighed in defeat,"No your honor... The prosecution rest."

At the sound of Trixie's voice, Twilight cried. She cried because her friend is going to be convicted. She cried because she felt she should of taken the fall instead. She cried for the fact that Trixie didn't try harder.

"Then the trial finds the defendant... NOT GUILTY! The trial for Pinkamena will begin tommorow at 10:00 AM. Court is adjourn." With the bang of his gavel, everyone but Phoenix started to disperse.

The Defense Attorney sat there pondering... "I feel like there was more to this... but I can't figure out what it was..."

The next day

On the next day, the trial for Pinkie was found Guilty... The more I think about it, the more I feel awful at failing Twilight. I failed her, and her friends... The portal to Equestria no longer opens for me... At this failure, I resigned myself... I... don't deserve to be a defense attorney anymore.

Author's Note

During this trial, I played as the Judge, Luis Hawk, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight Sparkle. Prof. Layton, Phoenix, and Trixie were played by 3 different people. Layton left, but it was a good thing someone was playing Phoenix. The real culprit was Luis Hawk. I was going to have him be a changeling convincing another changeling to go somewhere to assassinate Chrysalis. The other changeling disguise as Twilight and went to the party at Sugarcube Corner and the real Pinkie dragged her off to Maud's party at the rock farm. Luis disguise himself as Pinkie Pie and dragged Twilight towards the badlands and did his dirty deeds. How he did it. No one knows. The defense didn't make it that far in the court. Poor Pinkie... jailed for something she didn't do.
