Chapter 7 Epilogue

There was a knock on the door, when Blue opens the door he did not expect to see Pinkie Pie over at Green Plains. "Miss Pie." Blue said with a shock. "How do you do?"

"I been better Blue…may I come in?" Blue notice that Pinkie was holding a folder, and the look on her face was not a happy one, something was on her mind so with a nod he let her in. "I am sure that I am the last pony that you would want to see." Pinkie said calmly as she came inside the house.

"Not at all Pinkie, the trial is over and Shadow is dead."

"Dead?" There was almost guilt in Pinkie voice.

"He had been dead three days now Miss Pie, he was sentence to death two days after the trial, and you are visiting me three days after his death."

"I'm…so sorry."

"Have a seat Miss Pie, all I want to ask you is are you one-hundred percent sure that it was him?"

"No." Pinkie said with a gasp of breath as she sat on a stone chair next to a stone table.

Blue sat across from the table. "But yet you still did not stop the court from putting him to sleep."

"I did not know what to do Blue." Pinkie said with a tear. "I kept replaying what happen in my head and now all I see is just…just a strange colt….I never seen this colt before…he just grab e in my room and."

Pinkie Pie was shaking and Blue put his hoof on top of hers to calm her down. "Don't go back to memory lane Pinkie, what's in that document that you got there?"

"It's the results…I'm not pregnant Blue." Pinkie look at Blue face for a response but Blue's face did not move.

"I knew I was right…it takes time to get any kind of DNA results, it does not take just one day, and it take weeks."

"So why would someone forge my papers saying that I was pregnant Blue?"

Blue thought about that question for a little while then just laugh a little. "I can only to come up with two reasons Miss Pie…some pony must really hate Shadow…or some pony wants to win a case really bad."

"You don't mean!"

"You are talking to me Miss Pie; surely you have your inspections."

"Well…when he said that was too easy as Shadow was being drag off from the court, those words kind of bug me a little." Pinkie said with a sigh.

"Indeed…there was nothing easy about that case Miss Pie, I still believe that you only won because the media was saying that Shadow was the bad guy and it corrupted everyone minds."

"I…I…I…I never even got rape in the closet!" Pinkie blurted out.

Blue nodded his head and remember when her lawyer pluck a single feather off of Shadow, Blue laugh some more. "He is a smart pony I give him that."

"You don't think."

"It's my only conclusion; the only problem is that we can't prove any of this in court Miss Pie."

"He gets away with murder?"

"Not just murder Miss Pie…but I believe rape as well." Pinkie gasp at the thought that her attacker was her lawyer. "After a while paint will get absorb into the skin…so it is possible that you felt skin touching you Miss Pie if the paint was dry."

"My attacker did tell me that he painted his cutie mark so I can't identify him."

"So there would be no need for you to think that he also painted his entire body as well…he pluck my clients feather and must had disguise himself as a crime lab pony to frame Shadow more, all of this can't be prove in court however. This also explains why he did not wanted to wait until you deliver because of the color of the baby might be his." Pinkie gasp, this was just too much information for her. "All of this makes since Miss Pie, but we can't prove any of this in the court of law."

"And he gets away free?"

"I'm afraid so."

Pinkie did not say a word, she just look at the cold stone table and started at it for a little while, there was nothing for Blue to do but watch as the little mare tried to figure everything out for herself. After a minute or so she lifted her head and look around the room. "There is no decorations in this house." Pinkie said at last, trying to get her mind off the murder and the rape.

"Shadow never did had any real style, he never decorated his place with that much of things, what you see is what you get."

"Shadow was mysterious."

Blue giggle and started to tell Pinkie stories of Shadow and how they had met and became friends. It was a bright and sunny day in Green Plains as two ponies who never met each other but only in court sat down together and started to share stories to one another as they were remembering a Pegasus who was falsely accuse and was sentence to death.
