two weeks later

"Today is the day I get to see that piece of trash thrown in jail for his actions." I say with a big grin on my face.

"I know why you're happy and I get that, but I think you're taking too much pleasure in this Viper." Thunderwing says. He still has his head wrapped in bandages from the encounter.

"That slime ball called me and my mom a worm, then tried to kill me! I have every right to take pleasure in this!" I yell somewhat louder than I meant to.

"I understand that, but you also tried to kill him. If what I heard was correct, you gave him a good buck or two." I go pale for a second "Well we’re here, so I guess I'll see you after court, though I don't see why you want to come. They have more than enough evidence to lock him up and throw away the key without your testimony." Thunder says as he takes a bit out of a cupcake that he brought from lunch.

"That may be true, but I want to make sure he gets what he deserves! He will NOT get away if I have anything to say about it!" I'm pretty sure Thunder thought I was crazy or something at this point, because he just rolled his eyes at my speech as he finished the cupcake.

"You know I'm gonna miss you when you move. I hope ponyville will help you tho." Thunder just had to remind me that I'm moving, didn't he.

"It's not like I wanna move. It's just my mom thinks It’ll be safer for me there. The town next to the most dangerous forest in all of Equestria." I sigh. "You see the problem with that logic right?" Thunder just chuckles and I roll my eye's.

"I'll see you at the train station later okay Viper."

"Yeah, I guess I'll see you there Thunderwing. Still it's nice of your cousin Rumble to let me stay with him for a while."

"Don't mention it. Really. Don't. He thinks he has a chance with you." I could not help but laugh at that statement.

"Isn't he like half my age?" Thunder nodded. We say our goodbye's and I make my way to the courtroom where that slime ball is being held.

Once inside the courtroom, I can see what it looks like and it looks pretty nice. there’s a carving of some scales above where the judge is supposed to be. Directly in front of that I see where the "defendant" is supposed to stay while in court and on both sides of the courtroom are where the ponies sit to watch the court session.

"Now where to sit, where to sit? Meh, I guess there will work." I say as I make my way over to the right side of the courtroom, take a seat, and wait for it to start. I can't help but wonder why this anthro trash pisses me off so much. While I'm in thought I barely notice the other ponies and Anthros come into the courtroom.

When the bastard Anthro finally enters, he's wearing a orange jump suit and he is chained up only able to move a little. He looks like he got the snot kicked out of him before hand. He’s got a black eye and he is holding one of his left arm like it's been dislocated, and that's just what I can see. The bastard probably started it again. wait... Why is the anthro princess here.? I barely noticed a marshmallow white anthro and a cotton candy pink earth pony sit next to me as my attention was somewhere else.

Once everypony is settled in a guard next to the judge's desk stood to attention as a door next to him opened.

"All rise, the honorable judge Hard Knocks presiding." He announced, getting all ponies present to stand. Hard knocks smoothly walks behind his desk and gazes over everyone present.

"You may be seated." He said. His voice, a deep rumbling baritone, carried easily through the room. He glanced at the papers on his desk, giving them a once over. He looked up and his gaze fell on the Princess and the anthro."This case is being held because a suit was filed against the defendant for the following... Destruction of property, multiple accounts of physical assault, assault with a weapon with intent to harm, and disorderly conduct." As Hard Knocks read each of the charges off. He looked up and his gaze fell on the Princess and the anthro.

"I assume you are representing the defendant, Princess?" He asked. Twilight nodded and spoke in a clear voice.

"Yes your honor, I am representing my client." Judge Knock nodded his head, satisfied.

"You have been read the charges, and how do you plead?" He asked.

"Not guilty." Twilight's voice rang loud and clear. it was dead silent of a second before the audience exploded in a mass of exclamation and angry shouts. My voice being one of the angriest there much to the surprise of the ponies around me.

"ORDER! ORDER!" Judge Knocks yells as he smacks his gavel to get everypony to quiet down.

"Psst" A hoof nudges me but I ignore it."Pssssst." again I get nudged me.

"What is it?" I ask trying not to loose my temper.

"Want some popcorn?" The pink pony asks, which I accept because I accidently skipped lunch talking with Thunder.

"Thanks." I say as I turn my attention back to the court session.

"Now princess please state your case." Judge Knocks says. unfortunately I dont get to hear the case because the pink pony next to me Is distracting the Tartrus out of me. She's chewing with her mouth open and slurping her soda WHICH SHE PULLED FROM HER MANE. If I didn't know better I would think she was a daughter of a old one as well.

"Hey my parents aren't that old." She says as she takes another sip of her drink. Did she just read my mind? “No silly I just read the story."

"What are you talking about?" I ask with some hesitation.

"I dunno but anyway why is your boyfriend on trial?" the mare says which caused me to choke on some of the popcorn for a moment.

"He is not my boyfriend." I correct her she then pulls out what looks like a script of some sorts.

"Oops! My bad! Says here that he’s your future boyfriend." She says as she puts the script back in her mane. I am pretty sure my face is as red as a tomato right about now.

"Pinkie that's enough darling, don't make me get the squirt bottle again." The white anthro says with a semi serious tone. the pink pony, apparently named Pinkie, reacts by sticking her tongue out and crossing her forelegs."I'm sorry for my friends behavior. She gets a bit excited when she meets somepony new." she explained as she put her hand out for me to shake.

"And you are?" I ask not even bothering to acknowledge the hand.

"Oh where are my manners." [i}My thoughts exactly. "My name is Rarity belle." She states withdrawing her hand.

"Nice to meet you I suppose."

"Hi I'm Pinkie Pie and I bet the popcorn made you thirsty!" Pinkie says which causes me to smack my lips. I'm starting to hate this mare, mainly because she’s right. Curse her and that buttery goodness!

"I'm going to step out for a bit can you let me know what that the sentence is please?" I ask to which pinkie sighs and give a slight nod. With that I make my way out of the courtroom to go get something to drink only to be stopped by "Rarity". "What do you want Anthro trash."

"I'm well aware that you don't like me but I can tell when a Pony Is hiding something." She says like she knows something and I don't like it.

"And why would you say that?" I ask a little nervous about what she knows

"I can see when somepony is treating others bad because there afraid. My sister was the same way. She's a pony, so naturally when she first started bringing her friends over she would treat me in the same manner that you did dear." At this point she Is on one knee looking me in the eye with a hand on my shoulder.

"Why would I be afraid I'm just a normal earthpony." I state not sounding to sure of myself.

"Lying to yourself is not a good thing, and Besides I'm here on official friendship solving business." She states matter-o-factly. "And I think we have found it." She stands up and never taking her eyes off me until the court lest out.

Before we can continue our conversation, I slip into the crowd once it passes us. I’m scared shitless about what that bastard said to the guard about me. All I know right now is I needed some fresh air, and a guard to ask what the hell that bastard told the guards and possibly a princess. "When I find the bastard I'm going to give him an earful." I murmur As I pace back and forth outside the court yard.

After what feels like hours, I see the bastard coming out of the courthouse and I do possible the stupidest thing I will ever do. I start blabbing about my secret. Who did you tell about my tail!" I say in a hushed tone as I put a hoof on his hip.

“I didn't fucking say shit! How can you expect them to miss it when it's fucking waving around like a fucking ass flag?!” He (wait... she?...) all but yells.

"There's a spell on it that makes it looks like a normal tail ... weren't you a guy before?" I say getting a little louder and somewhat confused.

“What the fuck are talking about? There's no spell! I can see it as plain as day, and don't you fucking change the subject!" She yells. causing the ponies to look look at us as we continue this confrontation.

"You know I should've just ended your life back at the restaurant it would have been merciful on everypony." I mumble to myself as the anthro princess, Rarity and Pinkie came to the front of the crowd that was now surrounding us.

"Now now everypony calm down." the princess says trying to calm everypony down. "You guys shouldn't be fighting."

"Yeah you and your boyfriend/girlfriend shouldn't be fighting, you should be kissing" Pinkie giggles, which throws us off..

"We're not a couple!/We're not a couple!".

"Stop copying me!/Stop copying me!"

"I mean it!/I mean it!" We say at the same time much to my embarrassment.

"Aww there even speacking at the same time." Pinkie cooes over what just happened.

A loud popping sound was heard. “I don't get why he's so merciful to ponies like you! All you ever do is stomp him into the dirt but he never EVER fight's back, your just lucky he doesn't.” What does she mean by that? Never mind I need to get ...to ....the train station where I'll have to say goodbye to my one friend.....

"I gotta train to catch and I don't wanna be late I need to say goodbye to my one friend." As I walk I can't stop the tears from hitting the ground as I walk.

"Then you have nothing to fucking gripe about! At least you have a friend!”That bitch yells. I keep walking, I don't wanna be late for the last time I'll see my friend after all.

I make it a good distence when THAT Anthro comes running along with a semi worried look on his face. Once he catches up to me he says "look I just wanted to apologize for my behavior in our past meetings. They weren't the best hoof forward so..."

I interrupt him"Don't tell anypony my secret and we will be just peachy, understood?"

"That's number 212." He says much to my confusion

I tilt my head in confusion at what he just said."What?"

after hearing so many threats and insults I decided to keep track of how many I'd heard. your's was number 212." he says and looks a little down about it. That is a lot of times to be told to keep a secret.
"Good for you except I don't make threats just promises."I say wiggling my tail for emphasis.

"That would be 45." He mumbled Is he blushing?

"Why are you as red as a tomato?"I ask a bit to blunt.

"I-it's... uh, w-well.. Your very beautiful and very close."He replies and I can't help but look like a idiot just opening and closing my mouth like a goldfish."That was a bit abrupt, my apologies miss, but it's hard not to see the obvious when one is this close to it." He continued and I have had enough of this guy.

"Okay walking away now."I say as I start back pedaling.

"Sorry about that, I tend to blurt stuff out when I'm nervous." he apologizes as we start walking again.

"I'm sure."I deadpan" You are weird you know that."

He chuckles. "Number 13"He then clears his throat. "I wanted to apologize for what happened at the dinner and in front of the court house." He then looks down slightly Is that a Tear? "I don't like hurting anypony and I... I never wanted to be what pulled two friends apart."He sounds sin sear at least.

I roll my eye's at what I'm about to do."I'll tell you what if you want to aplolgize properly you should at least give me your name."

He raises a eyebrow I think In confusion." I guess that's fair, my name is Caim miss..."

"Viper, Viper Pit."I state.

He nodes. "Then I apologize ms. Pit for what has transpired at the dinner and the courthouse."

" Apology excepted now caim is there anything else because I need to go."Mom would kill me if she found out I missed the train.

"Uuuummm..." He looks nervus for some reason. oh dear Faust he's not going to ask me out is he?"[ "I hope that I will get to see you again some time. Beauty such as yours is rare for my eyes.".

I blush slightly at the unexpected compliment." If I see you around that is but, I doupt it."AAH WHY DID I SAY THAT. Why am I so flustered all of a sudden. Forget it I gotta train to catch.

I arrive at the train station where I see Thunder with a Pegasus colt who has a blueish gray coat and a two-tone dark gray mane and tail. That must be Rumble.

"Hey Thunder."I yell to get there attention."Who is this little filly?" I teased.

"Hey I'm not a filly I'm a big strong colt." He says electing a chuckle from Thunder and me.

"Yea this Is my cousin the you should be warned my other cousin he's not bad or anything it's just me and him share the same first name."He explained electing a nod from me.That won't be weird or anything.

"My mom said that my stuff should of arrived yesterday is that true rumble?"I ask a little bit concerned about what this colt did to me stuff.

"Yeah it arrived but we haven't opened any of it since we didn't want to break anything."

"How thoughtful say Rumble why don't you take these bits and go get something to drink okay."I hand him 3 bits and as soon as the money is in his hoof he is gone."Now that he's gone I'm gonna miss you Thunder."

"I'm gonna miss you two I'll try and visit when I can okay."He says as he hugs me and I hug back trying not to cry."It will be fine look at the bright side Ponyville has some of the best food around."He trying to look on the bright side but I can tell he is going to cry hard when I step on that train.We sit hugging for a while neither one of us wanting to let go but we do when Rumble comes back with a soda.

"Thanks for the drink Viper."Rumble makes his point with a small burp. We then talk for a little while longer until the train pulls up.

"ALL ABOARD TO PONYVILLE."The conducter yells I say my final good byes and go to find my seat next to rumble who has almost non stop looking at me.It got real old real fast.

"Ponyville here I come."I say as the train leave the station.
