Mushroom Kingdom, the jail.
"Well, at least we aren't in Bowser's castle any more," Stacey, said.
"True," I sighed," now, if only we can find a way to get out of here.
We need to get to the border so we can go back through that liquefied rock wall."
"You need to talk to the princess so we can get home," Stacey stated
"Me? Why me?" I asked
"Because, "She insisted," YOU are the lawyer."
"You two!" A guard yelled," It's time for your trial!"
"Let's get this over with," I moaned as he opened the door and led us out.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Courtroom,
"All rise!" A toad barked, "The honorable judge Judy shroom presiding."
"Thank you, you may be seated," the judge began," Ladies, I presume that you are not from here."
"Yes, ma'am," We answered.
"Alright then, let me explain how court works here with foreigners," she said.
"When you are called up here, you will answer the questions you are asked.
Failure to do so could mean that you are proven guilty when you might not be.
If the honorable, plaintiff, Princess Peach, can prove you guilty, than you will be banished from
Mushroom Kingdom. If she can't prove you guilty, than you are free to go. Any questions?"
"No, ma'am," Stacey replied.
"Good!" judge Judy yelled,"Commander, call your first witness."
"For my first witness, I would like to call the blonde to the stand," the commander started.
Stacey got up and went to sit in the booth next to the judge. A little toad walked up to her holding a scroll.
" Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? So help you, Elderstar?" He asked.
" Um, yeah," Stacey answered.
"Name?" the Commander barked
"Stacey," she said.
"Stacey, where were you about 3 o'clock on Thursday?" he questioned
"I would have been on the border of your country," She answered, fidgeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Tell, me, Gerbert. What type of truck did you see at the gas station near the border?" the Commander questioned
"Ah, believe, it was ah koopa truck," Gerbert answered in a heavy southern accent.
"What was in the truck?"
"Ah, saw these two girls tied up in the back of the truck,"
"Are those 2 girls right over there?" He pointed to us
"Yepper," ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Did you, or did you not, go to Darklands?" the Commander asked
"Yes, but..," I said before I was cut off.
"Did you go in Bowser's castle?"
"Yes, but...,"
"No further questions, you may step down."
Kaboom! The back wall of the courtroom exploded, revealing none other than Bowser.
"Gwa, ha, ha! Did you really think that by just hiding in the jail, that you could escape me?" He laughed,
"Oh, shoot, wait a minute," I thought.
Suddenly, I yelled, "Bowser, is it true that both Stacey and I where at your castle?"
"Yes," He answered, somewhat annoyed.
"And is it true that both Stacey and I went there against our will?"
"Yeah," He said before Mario appeared and grabbed his tail and hurled him back to his castle.
"Um, after that interruption, judge we would like to withdraw all charges on the defendants," Princess Peach slightly stuttered.
"Very well," judge Judy sighed," Case dismissed!"
"Come on Lacey!" Stacey yelled as she grabbed my arm and dragged me out," Let's get out while we still can!"
So we hopped in a warp pipe that went to the border. Luckily it ended right at the portal.
"Alright! Home here we come!" I yelled as I ran into the rock headfirst. I hit the rock and bounced off.
"Ohhh," I moaned.
"Bright one, Lacey," she sneered," For some reason my instinct is telling me to throw my bracelet at the wall."
"If it works, I will give you a toad coin," I said.
Stacey threw her bracelet at the rock wall. The bracelet disappeared in a flash of light, as the wall started to ripple, like water.
"Ahem," she grunted.
"Here is your toad coin," I mumbled.
"Alright!" I exclaimed, "Let's go!"
We both plunged into the rock wall. Before we knew it we were on the other side, on the ground. Nothing had really changed much.
The wall solidified behind us.
"There you girls are! O my goodness! This room's lights exploded too!" the principle exclaimed
"Apparently a very short storm rolled through. A lightning bolt hit an old lightning rod. That is what made all the lights explode."
"Oh," I commented.
" Oh my! you 2 really are fast! You did all of the computers! In only half an hour? Well, here is $300 dollars.
Keep the change," She said as she walked out.
"That.. was... weird," Stacey squeaked.
"Hey, look! A note! It says, Dear who ever it may concern,
I was feeling a little nice today. When I saw all of these computers that needed to be hooked up, I couldn't resist.
I hope you have a rotten day.
Sincerely, Ludwig Koopa
The End
