Chapter 5 part 1: A Short Chapter in Which Aly is Put on Trial
Writer: Hello. Today, at the request of a concerned mother, we have decided to bring a young lady to trial for the crime of running away from home.
Alanna: It is a crime! I swear it is!!!
Writer: Alanna, how did you get here? I have to poof you in, remember?
Alanna: I came in through the back door.
Writer: Well, I'm afraid I'm going to have to poof you away because you all have to poof in at the same time.
Alanna: Fine, but she did commit a crime!
Alanna is poofed away.
Writer: Anyway, let's poof everyone in.
Alanna: You just poofed me out!
Writer: Well, I'm sorry! I didn't know that I didn't have anything else to say. So, to continue, I am now poofing everyone else in!
Everyone else is poofed in.
Alanna: Okay, okay. You've poofed them in. Now, let's get on with the trial!!!
Writer: Gosh, Alanna. Let them catch their breath first.
Aly: Oh, Writer, Writer… I didn't run away exactly. I shouldn't be on trial… Really!
Alanna: You did too run away! And you caused me a lot of grief and heartache over it, too. (sobbing) My only child… spirited away… by her own maliciousness… Oh, where did I go wrong?!
Writer: Calm down, Alanna. Sheesh… some people would think you were at a funeral… the way you carry on. Now, Aly, tell us your side of the story… and where did you get that stunning dress?
Aly: I didn't run away; I just wanted to take a break and get away from… certain people. And the dress is by Cooper, Eleni Cooper. She's the best dressmaker in all Tortall… except for Armani and Kate Spade and…
Alanna: Aly, how could you?! Kate Spade is NOT famous for making dresses… She makes bags, you nitwit!!! And, your honor…I mean Writer…She didn't just take a break! She went and got herself captured by a slave ship. And you all thought she was sooo smart.
