A/N: Reference to Drugs. Swearing. Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly. Lisa Armstrong (Ant's wife). Ali/Alison (Ant and Dec's PR). Simon Cowell, Stephen Mulhern.


What felt like years had passed before Ant had managed to make any sort of headway. But today was the day everything should be fixed.

A week ago he had gotten a letter informing him that Dec would be seen again by the judge for a revisit of his sentence now that the judge had the information on Stephen supplying and possessing the drugs.

Lying under oath is not an offence taken lightly, but due to the magnitude of the situation some corners had been agreed to be cut.

Ali had decided to join Ant and Lisa in going to court. They 3 of them arrived and waited for their case to be called.

After a good hour they were ushered into the viewing box to see the trial pan out. This time there were a lot less people.

Dec was brought into the court, he looked awful. His face was drained of colour, his hair was a mess and his eyes were so red from obvious crying.

He looked up towards the viewing box and his face lit up. He looked so happy to see his friends that he had taken himself into a day dream.

"Mr Donnelly?" Shouted the judge. He snapped his head in the judges direction.

"eh?"

"Your name is Declan Joseph Oliver Donnelly? And you are here to have your sentence re-examined due to new evidence. Is that correct?"

Dec nodded "Yes your lord."

The case ran, and it seemed to go on forever. No witness were used in this trial. But Mr Jones did have to stand to present his evidence.

"…. And based on those findings, I propose that Mr Donnelly is realised. It has been proved he had committed no offence other than Perjury and this should be dealt with by having to serve a 3 month imprisonment and community service. Thank you your honour."

"Based on the new evidence provided, I am dismissing Mr Donnelly's current conviction and this should be taken from his record. However, he will have to serve a 4 month imprisonment for committing the unlawful act of Perjury. Since Mr Donnelly has fully cooperated with Mr Jones and his team, he shall only serve 2 more months and then have to fore fill 100 hours of community service. Case dismissed."

Dec looked up to the viewing box, his eyes full of excitement. Only 2 more months to stay in his cell and then he could go free.

The 2 months went past so quickly and Ant and Lisa hurried to the prison to collect Dec. Ant had brought Dec's ring with him and put it back in the box he was given it in.

"Mr Jones, Hey.. Mr Jones." Dec shouted from down the corridor. "Hey, no one has actually given me the chance to speak to you since the arrest. But thank you for everything, and I mean everything, you have been ace and I'm just so grateful for everything you have done for me. You've given me everything back, it may be slightly tainted now, but that's my doing."

"You're welcome, just don't be so stupid in the future please. And don't give Mr McPartlin too much of a hard time about it. He's been jumping through hoops to try and get you out."

Dec nodded, he walked over to the desk to reclaim the few items he had on him at the time and pushed his way through the double doors and into the near empty waiting room. The only 2 people in there, were the only 2 people he wanted to say.

They ran to each other with open arms, like they hadn't seen each other in years. But to them it had felt like years.

"I am so so so so so sorry Dec! I can't even begin to apologise for what I did to you. I was the worst friend ever and I don't know what to do to make it up to you!"

"You have made it up to me, You got me out!"

"No Dec, I put you in! and Mr Jones got you out!"

"Don't beat yourself up about this man, I know exactly what you've done to get me out, and I can't thank you enough!"

"Oh well it's nice to see you too doolitle!" Remarked Lisa, sarcastically.

"Nice to see you too Lis! You didn't think I'd forgetten about you did you? Come here!"

After all the hugs were done, Dec got his dates and places for his community service and they three friends walked out of the station. Never to return again.
