Mac stood up from his desk, "People versus Masaki Tenchi, Hakubi Ryoko, and Masaki Ayeka...charges of destruction of public property, weapon discharge, assault, and having the most god awful laugh the world's ever known..."
"...Mac, that last one isn't a formal charge," Judge Stone said, looking perplexed.
"I OBJECT!"
The sound of Judge Stone's gavel echoes around the court room, "Ma'am, you're going to have to sit down."
"But the Black Rose objects. OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!"
Sighing, Judge Stone just puts his head in his hands, "Mac...you may be making a case for it..."
"I, Kodachi, the Black Rose has the best laugh, how dare some... *Sniff* Commoner try to say otherwise. OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!"
"Alright, Bull, get her out of here..." Harry motioned for the ever present bailiff.
"C'mon miss," Bull walked toward the ranting gymnast and gently took her by the arm.
"OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!"
Christine looked a little stunned, "That laugh is getting annoying... Okay, did she just flip her clothes off and come out in a leotard?"
"...She fills it out well."
"DAN!"
"Okay, we can call that laugh objectionable..." Judge Stone said as he banged his gavel.
"Thank you, Harry," Christine said gratefully.
Bull continued to converse with his new friend, "Say, you're a Rhythm Gymnast Martial Artist, right?"
Kodachi looked startled, "Why is that any of your concern, you monobrowed beast?"
"Well, I was hoping you could help me with my ribbon twirling..." Bull asked as he pulled out a yellow ribbon that had black marks up and down the body of it.
"Bull, I didn't know you were a martial artist..." wondered Harry.
"Oh yeah. Dad wasn't around a lot, but Mom made sure I knew how to defend myself. He always brought home the coolest souveniers, though..." Bull looked almost wistful as he twirled the ribbon, "This is his!"
"That... Looks like an associate of my Ranma-sama's..." Kodachi claimed, looking a little freaked out.
Bull started, his eyes widening as he started getting excited, "Really? Did he have a backpack?"
"Hmm... I do recall him carrying that... And an umbrella." Kodachi said, a thoughtful look on her face.
"Aww...it IS little brother Ryoga! I haven't seen him since he was this tall..." Bull exclaimed, putting his hands near his hips.
Tenchi looked nervous, "Uhm, excuse me, but aren't we going to be charged for wrecking that park?"
"Lord Tenchi, perhaps you should let the lawyers handle this," Ayeka said pensively.
Ryoko snorted, "Yeah, I mean Miss Prissy certainly could get Daddy to get her off..."
"YOU TAKE THAT BACK, DEMON!" snarled Ayeka.
Banging on his gavel on the bench, Harry tried to get their attention, "Ladies! LADIES!"
"...are they sparking? Your Honor, they're sparking..." said Christine, looking mystified.
*SPLASH!*
"ACK!"
"...Mac, what was THAT for?"
Mac held up a bucket, looking smug, "Well, it stopped them from sparking."
In the mean time, Dan spoke up, "Harry, I suggest we get these three a sex therapist."
Rolling his eyes, Harry looked at the Prosecutor, "And let me guess, you know who to volunteer?"
"Of course!" Dan said, grinning widely
Sighing exasperatedly, Harry cut to the chase, "...alright, I don't even want to know. Defendants are sentenced to thirty days of counseling. Next case!"
Mac walked back to his desk, pulling out the next case file, "Your Honor, Chiyo Mihama v/s ...Miss Sakaki, theft of personal property..."
Just over the edge of the desk, a small hand shot up, "She's got Mr. Tadakichi and won't give him back!" Chiyo turned to Sakaki and begged, "Please give him back, please?"
"Miss, can't you get any pet of your own?" asked Harry
Blushing profusely, Sakaki quietly explained, "...All the cats bite me and the dogs run from me."
"And Mr. Tadakichi is?" Harry asked, looking to his bailiffs.
Roz walked in, leading a massive Great Pyrenees, "He's a really big dog..."
Dan cleared his throat, "Your Honor, my client would simply like to have her pet back. She really does not want to press charges at this time."
"Harry...there really isn't much to say. She found Mr. Tadakichi waiting outside her parent's house and proceeded to keep him fed and watered," explained Christine, her eyes on the massive dog in front of them.
"Seems more like a case of lost and found here; okay, Miss Sakaki, just return the girl's dog to her and that'll be all..." Harry said, issuing his judgment. He looked down over the bench, then around the courtroom before looking at Sakaki, "Say, where is Miss Chiyo?"
"Um... She's under Mr. Tadakichi," Sakaki said, almost reverently.
Shaking his head, Harry grinned, "Alright...Miss Chiyo, if you can hear me, you can keep your pet. Mac, do we have another case?"
Mac thumbed through his files, "Um... Yes."
"Oh?"
"Yeah," Mac said, "People vs The Gutsy Galaxy Guard."
"Oh? And where are these people?" Harry asked skeptically.
"Um... In another universe, apparently," Bull said as he looked over Mac's shoulder.
"...Bull, that's not possible."
"Well, that's what I'm reading hereā¦"
"...Okay, fine. Why were they charged anyway?" Harry asked, looking at Dan.
"Massive super robot fight that destroyed the sewers," Dan grimaced, before looking back at his documents, "My shower turned brown while I was showering when this happened."
Harry laughed, "...Dan, everyone's shower did. Okay, when or if they get back, get them in here."
Mac nodded, "Right."
"Other than that... Let's call it a night. Court's adjourned!"
