Episode 1: Turnabout Lovers

Part 4-2: Trial

Cyrus: (Okay. Now let's see…) Honey, where were you guys placed?

Honey: I was in the doorway that connects the kitchen and backyard. Cindy was cornered, and facing the door, a few feet away. Karson was in front of her.

Cyrus: Kay, have Cindy stand next to the defense's bench, with Karson facing her. Put Honey next to the prosecutor's bench.

Kay: Okay.

A bright flash came from Little Thief, then, everything turned green.

Alpha: What the…?!

Judge: WOW! It's so green!

Cyrus:…Hm. Honey, what's your opinion?

Honey: Huh? Oh… Uh… It seems right.

Cyrus: Objection! There is a big problem with this scene.

Honey: What are you talking about?!

Cyrus: (Something's wrong here…) Ah ha! The positions of the people are wrong!

Honey:…What?

Cyrus: Cindy would have to walk closely to Karson to make it to you!

Honey: Objection! I thought I said he was knocked out!

Cyrus: Ack!

Alpha: Objection! You didn't give a specific amount of time! And besides… You said that 'He grabbed her necklace, she pulled away and ran towards me.' Meaning that he was awake when she tried to escape!

Honey: What?! Nononono. I worded it wrong!

Cyrus: Let's see if we can fix this. Honey, where were you guys really standing?

Honey:…Cindy's back was facing the backdoor. Karson was facing her. I was, like I said, in between the kitchen and backyard.

Cyrus: Kay, switch Karson's and Cindy's positions.

Kay: On it!

Cyrus: (Something's still wrong.) Honey, stop lying to us!

Honey: What are you talking about?!

Cyrus:…Ah ha! Cindy could have just ran away! Instead she stayed and fought! Why did she stab Karson if she was so close to her escape?!

Honey: Oh.

Cyrus: (That wasn't much of a reaction…) Stop lying to this courtroom!

Honey: Heh. That's where you're wrong, Prosecutor Justin.

Cyrus: What?! (Her whole demeanor changed!)

Honey: You didn't get what I said. I was technically in her way. I was in between the kitchen and the backyard!

Cyrus: But you said you were good friends!

Honey: I was shocked, and I couldn't move… You can't disprove that.

Cyrus: Argh!

Alpha: Damn. She's even got me stumped.

Cyrus: Couldn't Cindy just push you?

Honey: I'm an iron wall. Nothing can knock me down.

Cyrus:…Actually, I would like to drop all charges of you killing Karson Mel.

Honey: Finally, you're becoming competent.

Cyrus: Hold it! I would like to charge you with… The death of Karson Mel, and the attempted murder of Cindy Mel!

Honey: What?!

Alpha: Hold it! Slow down there cowboy. You don't have that much evidence…

Cyrus: Neither do you. And it's the only way this formation makes sense. Honey blocked Cindy from escaping!

Alpha: W-What?!

Cyrus: She put her gun up to the back of Cindy's head, Cindy turned around and pushed Honey down. Karson grabbed her by the necklace, but Cindy broke out of it, Honey, still on the ground, pulled the trigger! Not knowing that the one standing there was Karson!

Alpha: Hold it! This is a perfect opportunity to kill Cindy!

Honey: I killed Cindy too?!

Cyrus: Seems like it.

Honey: I didn't do this! The man sitting in that chair did!

Alpha: You're finished!

Honey: Objection! You don't have any evidence!

Cyrus: Urk! (Damn, she's right.) Ugh… Kay?

Kay: Beats me…

Cyrus: (Think Cyrus. What makes sense at this point? What can I do to prove she killed Karson and Cindy?) …

Honey: If we are done here…

Cyrus: Hold it! I can prove that you killed Karson and Cindy!

Honey: Wha?! Where's you're evidence?!

Cyrus: I don't have evidence. I have a witness! I call Pearl Fey to the stand!

Everything turned back to normal.

…

…

Pearl: Hello there.

Cyrus: Name and occupation please.

Pearl: Pearl Fey, spirit medium.

Cyrus: Thank you. Please testify about the day of the crime.

Pearl: Of course.

Witness Testimony: The Day of the Crime

Trucy and I were walking around.

We happened upon a lake.

There, we saw two people sitting together.

Suddenly, the one to our right fell over.

The one on the left got up, and walked away.

Pearl: That was all I had seen.

Cyrus: Alpha, I want to…

Alpha: We're working together on this. Don't worry.

Cyrus: (Okay. There is something here that will finish Honey. I just need to find it. Me and my best friend will find the truth.)

Cross-Examination: The Day of the Crime

Trucy and I were walking around.

Cyrus and Alpha: Hold it!

Cyrus: Why were you walking?

Pearl: Trucy and I were catching up.

We happened upon a lake.

Cyrus and Alpha: Hold it!

Cyrus: This is the lake we're talking about, right?

Pearl: Yes.

Cyrus: (Good.)

There, we saw two people sitting together.

Cyrus and Alpha: Hold it!

Cyrus: Was Honey one of them?

Pearl: How dare you cheat on Kay?! Who is this 'Honey'?!

Cyrus: W-Wait!

*Smack!*

Kay: Wahahahahahahahaha!

Cyrus: (Of course you'd be one to laugh.)

Alpha: Oh, he meant, does it look like a girl that's right over there?

Pearl: Oh. Well, a little bit. We only saw the people's backs.

Suddenly, the one to our right fell over.

Cyrus and Alpha: Hold it!

Alpha: Did you see anything red fall with the person?

Pearl: I was a bit far away. But I think I saw something flash.

Cyrus: (…! Something flash?

The one on the left got up, and walked away.

Cyrus and Alpha: Hold it!

Cyrus: Where did they walk to?

Pearl: They just sorta… Walked away.

Cyrus: (Interesting…)

…

Cyrus: (Is that it?!)

Alpha: Cyrus…!

Honey: Seems like you still don't have anything on me. I'll just be going.

Cyrus: Objection! There… There is something! I can find it! In this testimony!

Alpha: Yeah! N-Never give up til the bitter sweet end! That's what I say!

Cyrus: Let's do this!

Cross-Examination: The Day of the Crime

Trucy and I were walking around.

We happened upon a lake.

There, we saw two people sitting together.

Cyrus and Alpha: Hold it!

Cyrus: (Should I ask for more details?) Pearl, give us a description of the two people.

Pearl: Ah, which one?

Cyrus: (Which one…?) The one on the left please.

Pearl: Oh. Well, she looked exactly like the woman there.

Honey:…!

Alpha: We've got you now!

Cyrus: The next thing that happened was that the one on the right fell over, with sight of a flash appearing. Then, the left one walked away. Sound familiar?

Honey: T-This can't be happening… No… No…! Why would I even kill them?!

Alpha: People kill for crazy reasons… You should know that, detective.

Honey: Argh!

Cyrus: Care to confess?

Honey:…I…I-I… I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I!

Hold it!
