CHAPTER 4:
AUTHOR'S NOTES: Dan Schnieder shows been known on occasion to recycle characters from other shows for cameo appearances. So I thought I'd give that a try here.
After the chancellor found Tori & friends in the basement
"You all are going back to Yerba prison for life!" The chancellor yelled before the doorbell rang.
"NO! You cannot take us back to that horrible country. In fact, we all refuse to go. Right, guys." Tori said panicked as everyone agreed.
"Excuse me, I'm looking for Tori Vega." A male voice said.
"And you are?" Tori asked.
"Gary Barclay attorney at law." He said.
"Oh, thank you for coming. Can you please help us?" Tori asked sounding desperate.
"Well, judging by what your mom said on the phone, there's only one way to settle this matter: I've called the county judge, and she has agreed to meet with you all at the county courthouse tomorrow morning." Gary said as Tori & friends felt a small sigh of relief.
"Thank you so much." Tori said as Gary exited the house.
"Very well, we'll see what happens tomorrow." The chancellor said.
"Wait a second, weren't you blind when we left Yerba?" Tori asked as she noticed one of the chancellor's eyes was no longer patched up.
"Well, 3 months after your escape, I got the damaged eye fixed. Most importantly, I will see you all at the courthouse tomorrow." The chancellor said.
When the scene ends, we see a status update from Tori. It reads the following...
"Heading to court hoping for the best"
MOOD = Nervous
At the LA County Courthouse the next day, Tori & friends were hoping for a fair trial.
"All rise. LA County Court is now in session. The honorable Mindy Crenshaw presiding. Please rise." The bailiff said as everyone did so.
"You may be seated" Mindy said banging her gavel. "Now this trial was called to determine if Tori Vega and her friends will have to go back to Yerba or not. Tori Vega, you have the floor." She continued.
"Thank you, your honor." Tori said standing up.
"One year ago, my friends and I traveled to Yerba for spring break. Little did we know that it turned out to be the worst country ever. Anyway, this one night we were performing a song for the chancellor and at one point, my shoe hit the chancellor in the eye blinding him which apparently he got fixed." Tori explained.
"But I thought you admitted to..." The chancellor started before being interrupted by Mindy banging her gavel three times.
"Silence!" Mindy yelled. "Tori, please continue." She said as Tori did so.
"Thank you. As I was saying, after my shoe malfunction, the chancellor sentanced me to 4 years in prison. The next day, my friends tried to get me released. But just as they were about to succeed, my friend Robbie accidently killed the chanellor's pet octopus. As a result, they all ended up in prison with me. So we all had to escape or else people at school and our parents would've wondered where we were." Tori explained.
"I see. So the rest of you did nothing wrong?" Mindy asked.
"Yes." Andre, Beck, Cat, Jade, & Trina responded.
"Very well. After hearing your side of the story I am going to do some thinking about this, and I will have the verdict to you in about an hour." Mindy said banging her gavel before exiting into her chambers.
