"Okay, so we know that Hollie hates Sava, and tried to frame her for the murder. Hollie had Dina smuggle the murder weapon out of the shop, and forced Sava to use the jump harness to put the body on the ice. She then blackmailed Sava to make sure she would confess. These are the facts of the case. However, Hollie is claiming that she had no reason to kill Ilene. After all, if she wanted Sava gone, why not kill her?

So, why was Ilene killed?"

-The killer wanted to frame someone-

- The killer hated Ilene-

-Ilene did something bad to the killer-

:THE KILLER WANTED TO FRAME SOMEONE:

"And who did they want to frame?"

- Savannah Lif-

-Ilene Dover-

-Dina Maite-

:SAVANNAH LIF:

"The killer wanted to frame Sava. But why?"

-To get rid of her without casting suspicion on herself-

-To go ice skating-

-No reason-

.:TO GET RID OF HER WITHOUT CASTING SUSPICION ON HERSELF:.

"That's it! If Sava was killed, everyone would suspect Hollie. After all, many people could testify to the bullying! But if Ilene was killed, being rivals with Sava, she would be the first under suspicion!"

Apollo slammed the desk.

"Hollie. I know exactly why you killed Ilene." He smirked.

"No, you don't." Hollie retorted.

"Mr. Justice, please explain." The judge asked.

"She did it to get rid of Sava!" Apollo pointed.

"Huh?" Hollie hugged herself in shock. "Wait, OBJECTION! Again, that's impossible! Let's say, for arguement's sake, I was the killer. It would make more sense for me to kill Sava!"

Apollo shook his head. "But, you're wrong. If Sava wound up dead, who would be suspected?"

"!" Hollie was sweating.

"That's right. You! After all, you have a motive that many of the orphans, as well as Mr. White, can testify to!" Apollo pointed at her. Hollie was shaking.

"P-please stop.." She murmured.

"But, if you killed Ilene, it was a completely different story!" Apollo slammed his desk.

"Sava would be the first under suspicion in that case. After all, they were rivals." Yumihiko pointed out.

"Exactly." Apollo nodded.

"Dina...help..." Hollie asked.

"No." Dina refused.

"?" Hollie looked at her.

"You've given me nothing but hell for the last 4 years. I'll be glad when you're gone!" Dina spat.

"There's no way out of it, Hollie. So just admit it! You murdered Ilene Dover!" Apollo pointed at her.

Hollie was silent for a minute as everything around her faded into darkness.

"No.." She murmured. Suddenly, a ghost appeared, with long blonde hair and green eyes, wearing a skating dress.

"Not you! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" She screamed as Ilene's ghost grabbed her hand and skated around the courtroom. Suddenly, she stopped in front of the witness stand and swung Hollie around in a circle.

"Please! STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!" As Hollie stopped screaming, Ilene let go, causing Hollie to fly and hit the ceiling. As the courtroom came back into view, the judge banged his gavel.

"Ballif! Please see to Miss Dai and see to it that she is okay!" The judge demanded.

(It's over... It took a few days, several mental breakdowns, and Athena's help, but we did it.. )

"Prosecutor Ichiyanagi, what is the state of Miss Dai?" The judge asked.

"She hit her head, so we are making sure she didn't get hurt, but for now, she is unharmed." Yumihiko stated.

"I congratulate you on your win, Mr. Justice and Miss Cykes."

"Oh! Thanks!" Athena started playing with her hair.

"Anyways, in the case of Miss Lif, I can now lay down my verdict. I declare Savannah Lif..."

NOT GUILTY

"Court is adjurned!" The judge banged his gavel.

Defendant's lobby #2

"Congratulations, Apollo, Athena!" Mr. Wright said as we walked out of the courtroom.

"Thanks, Boss!" Athena flashed a peace sign at him.

"You too, Sava!" Maya smiled.

"Thank you!" Sava beamed.

"You remind me of my cousin." Maya murmured to herself.

"Hey, where's Trucy?" I asked.

"Oh, she left a little bit ago. Something about magic practice." Mr. Wright put his hand to his chin in thought.

"Congrats, Sava." Cody said, suddenly appearing.

" !" Sava gasped.

"I had faith in you this whole time-both of you." Cody looked at both me and Sava. "I had faith that you were innocent, Sava, and faith that you would find the truth, ."

"Mr. White...thank you!" Sava smiled.

"It's time to go, now. Thank you, Mr. Justice." He smiled at me. Suddenly, I remembered.

"I almost forgot!" I exclaimed suddenly. "I was supposed to give you something from Mr. White, Sava!"

"Really? What?" Sava asked.

Where was that piece of evidence?

"TAKE THAT! Here you go!" I gave her the envelope.

"Huh?" She opened it, and her smile got bigger as she read it.

"OHMYGOSHI'MGETTINGADOPTED!" She shouted in her squeaky voice.

"Reminds me of that one delivery person..." Phoenix whispered to Maya.

"You're what?" Athena asked.

"I'm getting adopted!" Sava grinned.

"Wow! By who?" I asked.

"Me." Mr. White said, smiling. "I absolutley adore Sava. I couldn't bear to watch her leave."

"Daddy..." Sava said as tears of happiness appeared in her eyes.

And with that, the two hugged.

(And that was the end of Savannah White's trial. After that, we had a good few months case free. However, when I finally did get a case... The circumstances were unfortunate. I dread to think of that trial again...)
