"Oh, my gosh, Spin, look who it is!" TJ hissed, shocked by who was standing by the door.
"Hustler Kid?" Spinelli said, shocked. "I mean, we are friends, but I never thought he would get evidence, usually he only gets homework and Winger Dingers." The two watched as Hustler Kid approached the bench and introduced himself.
My name is Francis Pierre Paparillo (Thanks, Mistress of Balmoral!) and I have come across some evidence that might help my friend Miss Spinelli." Hustler Kid flashed her and TJ a smile, revealing a small gold tooth at the left of his mouth.
"OK, we will call a recess for the rest of the day to review this evidence and tomorrow we will be back with a verdict." The judge banged his gavel and adjourned the court. TJ and Spinelli approached Hustler Kid and thanked him for possibly saving Spinelli.
"Don't thank me yet, but I do think this could help you. After all, what are friends for?" Hustler Kid hugged Spinelli, and TJ couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. Even though he knew Spinelli and Hustler Kid would never date (Hustler Kid had been dating Upside Down Girl for three years) it was difficult seeing another guy come to Spinelli's rescue. TJ cleared his throat, and shook Hustler Kid's hand. "Thanks man, any guy who helps my best friend is a hero in my book."
"Then you are one hell of a hero," Hustler Kid smiled, knowing full well how TJ felt about Spinelli. "I'll be here tomorrow for support, ok?" TJ and Spinelli nodded and Hustler Kid disappeared out the door.
"Maybe there is hope after all," Spinelli said as she and TJ exited the courtroom.
"I told you, you just have to have faith," TJ said, lightly taking her hand.
"I know, Teej, but after Gretchen's testimony, I thought it was over for sure. I mean, I can't believe she would do something like that. I mean, I know we aren't friends anymore, but we never did anything to hurt her." Spinelli sat on the steps of the courthouse, bringing TJ along with her. "Why would she be so mean?"
"I don't know, I was wondering the same thing. The only thing I could figure out is that she still hasn't gotten over us winning the science fair last year. You know how competitive and jealous she gets when people are better than she is. She always did tend to hold a grudge with things like that."
"I know, but it still doesn't give her the right to be so mean." Spinelli stood up, adjusting her skirt. "Want to get something to eat? I'm starving!"
"There's a pizza place across the street. Last one there has to give Finster a sponge bath!" TJ yelled running down the stairs and onto the sidewalk.
"Teej, I can't run in this!" Spinelli yelled, attempting to chase him, but ended up tripping over her high heels and tumbling into TJ.
"I guess the Little Miss Blush pageant back in fourth grade still hasn't helped your gracefulness," TJ teased, helping Spinelli up.
"Nope, I'm still a clutz. Now let's get out of here, I want to be as far away from here until tomorrow as possible." Spinelli said as the two walked over to the pizza place.

The next morning came sooner than either one wanted it to, and before they knew it they were once again sitting in the courtroom with their families, PA. Milo and Hustler Kid. Spinelli nervously twirled her hair as they waited for the judge to come in and seal her fate. She only hoped the tapes Hustler Kid turned into the judge containing his plan for the night of the attack would be able to hold in a court of law, and more importantly, they were able to prove that it was actually Bob on the tapes. She looked over at her friends and family and smiled, glad that there were still a few people in town that supported her.
Three hours later, after more questioning cross examination, and deliberation, the judge was finally ready to come to a decision in the case.
In the case of Spinelli vs. Johnson, the state of Arkansas hereby declares Robert Johnson guilty of assault and attempted rape. Due to his age, we hereby sentence Mr. Johnson to stay at a juvenile detention center until he is twenty-one with no parole." The judged banged his gavel again. "Court adjourned."
Spinelli turned to TJ and smiled. "Wow, he's going to juvie, I mean, I wish they could have charged him with more, but this is better than nothing. Thanks, Teej," she said hugging him. "And thank you, Hustler Kid," she added, hugging him as well, "Without those tapes, I don't know what would have happened."
"No problem, Spinelli. I'm glad I could help." Hustler Kid said, waving goodbye as he left the courtroom. Spinelli went over to hug her family and friends, once again thanking them for helping her. The case was finally over, and now she could try and move on with her life.
A/N: ok I know it went fast, but I am so tired that I did the best I could. Tomorrow I will post the last chapter, which will take place about a month after the trial. I will begin Reunited next, but like I said, you might want to r/r One Last Chance and This I Swear to catch up. Please r/r, but if you can't say something nice, don't say it at all, happy reading!
Please think of a name for the miniseries! Details in chapter 6!!! Thank you!
