~AUSTIN'S POV
We all walked into the courtroom. I didn't know that there would be this many people! Dez and Ally sat on the front seats in the audience and Dallas sat next to the judge. I just realised, if I'm the prosecution, or whatever it's called, then who is the defence? The people in the jury were a lot older than me and I didn't know any of them. The bailiff was talking to Dallas about something all I heard was 'I don't know'. The principal that I saw in the stood in defence
"All rise," the bailiff instructed, everyone stood up. The judge walked in and sat down on the judge's bench. I can tell you that she wasn't Judge Judy- she was way older. "Superior Court of the State of Miami County of Miami, the Honorable Judge Marilyn K. Jones presiding, is now in session. Please be seated and come to order," Everyone sat down.
"Austin Moon, please raise your right hand," I raised my hand. "Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?" the judge shouted.
"Yeah…" I answered, it was obviously the wrong thing to say because the audience gasped.
"Principal Wayne Devours, please raise your right hand. Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?"
"Yes, your honor," he agreed.
"In the matter of Austin Moon vs. Principal Wayne Devours we are here today to try the case regarding Austin Moon almost setting the school on fire and the girl on this picture. Wayne, do you know who this girl is?"
"Yes, it's Ally Dawson I–"
"No it's not! Your honor, Ally was with me," The judge banged the gavel, I covered my ears. "Ow?"
"Is Ally Dawson here?"
"Yes, she's over there," I pointed to her.
~ALLY'S POV
"Can Ally Dawson come to the front of the courtroom?" the judge ordered. Dez pushed me out of my seat; I walked over and stood next to Austin.
"Ally Dawson, please raise your right hand," I raised right hand a little too fast. "Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?"
"Yes, your honor I do," I babbled.
"Ally Dawson, where were you when Austin found the picture in his locker?" How did she know…?
"I wasn't with him; I was with my friend Trish. She isn't here –"
"Ally Dawson, you're charged for taking pictures of yourself naked," the judge was about to bang the gavel but Dallas stopped her.
"OBJECTION!" Dallas stood up and walked over to me and Austin. "Your honor, as I said before, at school, if you look closely at the photo the babe was a blonde," he pointed to the photo the judge was holding, he took Austin's phone.
"Dallas, what are you doing?" Austin hissed. Dallas smirked then carried on. "As you can see, we, Austin and I, visited the babe's house yesterday, the day that I found out that SHE wasn't a babe!" The audience gasped in shock. "No, no, not in that way. Austin took a photo and she even admitted that it was her!" Dallas handed Austin's phone to the judge then sat back down.
"Is this photo shopped?" the judge interrogated. Austin smirked.
"Your honor," the principal spoke. "I have no idea what this has to do with this hooligan," he pointed at Austin repeatedly. "Austin was the one who put the school playground on fire!"
"That's true your honor," Austin approved. The audience gasped, he turned around. "Would you guys stop doing that? As you can see, I was lighting the cigarette in the evidence bag and burnt my finger," Austin showed his finger to the judge.
The judge nodded.
"OBJECTION!" someone in the audience argued.
Dallas stood up. "Hey, that's my line!" A girl walked next to the judge. "Uh, never mind," he sat back down.
"Ashley Stanwell?" Austin assumed.
"That's right, why didn't you say hello to your son in hospital?"
"You know her?" I retorted.
"Ally, I can explain…" Austin didn't finish his sentence.
"I was his girlfriend,"
"Okay, you can explain," Austin looked down.
"Girlfriend until he used me for 'fun',"
"This will make a great scene for the bit where Austin finds out that he's the father of one of his ex's baby," Dez cried.
~AUSTIN'S POV
"Dez! You recorded everything?" I yelled, looking at him and his camera.
"Uh, duh! Did you really all think that I'd just sit here and do nothing?"
"Do you know that you are violating the rules?" the judge asked.
"No…" the security guards carried Dez away. "Good luck, Austin!"
"Your honor, I thought that my speech was wonderful and it totally proved Austin and Ally not guilty!" Dallas exclaimed.
The principal took his stuff then walked out. "Have fun kids!"
"Can he do that?!" Ally craved, watching him walk out.
The judge shrugged. "You can't really blame him,"
I stood at the front next to the judge then faced Ashley, I took a deep breath. "Ashley, I'm really sorry but when my other girlfriend broke up with me. I thought that if we… got on then I could forget about her. I had no idea that you were pregnant," I turned to Dallas. "Dallas, I'm sorry for kicking you yesterday, but let's be honest, you kind of deserved it. I was sort of jealous of you and Ally and yes, I do think that she's sexy too," Dallas gave me a thumbs up sign. I tried not to smile while I faced Ally. "…and Ally, I'm sorry for putting garbage and the stink bomb in your locker and for following you home," I looked at the audience's reaction. "It was a long day… and last but not least, earlier what I was supposed to say was-"
"Austin Moon, this is a courtroom!"
"Hehe, that rhymes…" I stood back next to Ally.
"I have came to a decision that the prosecution party is not guilty. Well, he might be guilty for being childish that's for sure but after the witness' speech and for the evidence. Austin Moon is not guilty!" she banged the gavel.
"YAY, I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL! YOU HEAR THAT MOM?!" I ran to the court room door, finding Dez standing outside.
"I knew you could do it!" Dez grinned, we did our handshake.
A/N - I think my computer has a virus but Austin's not guilty. What did happened when Dez was sent out? It was obviously too much drama for the principal! :o
