GUILTY
Written by Exotoro
Unten, Strafe, Sakeena, Rachel, PalmMan, X-Ray, and Reese get into the jury row, not looking too happy or in X-Ray's case, severely worried. Leah stands in accused stand, waving uncomfortably.
:Unten: Man, fuck Leah for giving us jury duty.
:Strafe: Hey woah, cool it, we're in a courtroom.
Unten rolls his eyes.
:Unten: Yeah, I can't wait to sit here and do jackshit for a couple hours. I'd rather...
Unten thinks for a moment.
:Unten: Okay, I wasn't really planning anything today. But still. 
:PalmMan: What's Leah being accused for? I literally didn't pay attention the entire time we were in the car.
:Unten: The... entire time?
:PalmMan: Yeah, I do this everytime we drive somewhere. You guys are annoying.
:Strafe: Annoying how?
:PalmMan: Haha, BIIIIG WATER!
Strafe scrowls.
:Strafe: I said we should stop doing that fucking joke a week ago.
:Sakeena: Sorry...
:Judge of the Court: Silence in the jury row, please.
:Unten: Right! Sorry.
:Judge of the Court: The accused, Leah Needlenam, is on trial for the murder of Lyon Feska. 
:Strafe: (whispering to Rachel) What kind of name is "Lyon Feska"?
:Rachel: (whispering to Strafe) What kind of name is Strafe?
:Judge: Can you guys not do that?
:Strafe: Yeah, Rachel. Don't do that. 
Judge shakes his head. He's in for a long trial, it seems.
:Judge: How would the defendant plead themselves?
:Leah: Not guilty. Seriously, who the hell is Lyon Feska?
:Judge: Hmph.
:Leah: Look, can we not waste time on this shit? I'm not guilty.
:Judge: Can we bring out the evidence?
:Blond Man: Yes, we can.
Blond Man brings out a set of photos and projects them, showing Leah clearly murdering someone. Leah looks shocked.
:Leah: That's not me! Who the hell is that? Why would they do such a sloppy job?
:Unten: (to Rachel) You think she did it? 
:Rachel: (to Unten) Yeah, wouldn't put it past her.
Sakeena looks uncomfortable in her seat.
----
The session has gone on for about thirty minutes. Sakeena looks more and more uncomfortable in her seat. Strafe can tell.
:Strafe: What's got you all worked up?
:Sakeena: Something seems... off about those pictures and all the evidence. Knowing Leah pretty personally... she wouldn't do such a sloppy job if she were to murder someone. Plus, she's facing the camera... like she knows she was caught.
:Strafe: Yeah, but Leah would murder someone, right?
:Sakeena: That's not the point! The pictures portray a really sloppy murder that's well shot. Leah doesn't even know how to take a selfie or anything.
:Strafe: The hell's a "selfie"?
:Sakeena: It's like a picture you take with your phone of yourself.
:Strafe: A phone? Why the hell would you take a picture with a phone?
:Rachel: Don't bother explaining anything to him, he still prefers Windows XP to Windows 8. Although to be frank, I can see where he's coming from...
:Strafe: How the hell does Windows 8 work? Where is Windows 9? Why did they skip to Windows 10? When did they start numbering this shit?
:PalmMan: Mphh. 
:Sakeena: I... gotta go to the bathroom. I'll be right back.
:Strafe: Can you even do that?
:Sakeena: Yeah, you just raise your hand.
Sakeena raises her hand.
:Judge: Alright, go. 
:Sakeena: Thank you!
:Judge: Anyway... 
----
Sakeena glances through the empty hallways. 
:Sakeena: Nothing makes sense... yet everyone seems so non-nonchalant about it. 
Sakeena notices a shadowy figure standing in a unlit section of the hallway before running like hell.
:Sakeena: Hey!
Sakeena chases the figure down the hallway.
----
Reese pulls out his phone. PalmMan glances over.
:PalmMan: What'cha watching?
:Reese: Nothing! What the fuck...
:PalmMan: Chill man, I don't judge.
:Reese: Erm... okay. Have you heard of Amatsuchi! before?
:PalmMan: Amatsuchi?
:Reese: It's... a anime. 
:PalmMan: What's it about though?
:Reese: Erm...
PalmMan looks onto the screen, his face looking more and more disgusted.
:PalmMan: Dude, what the hell. She put the sushi... up...
:Reese: Yeah.
:PalmMan: Please tell me there's more to it than just that.
:Reese: Not... really.
----
Sakeena chases the figure into an empty, dark room. She walks slowly into the room, not sure where the figure is. She suddenly has a bag over her head and is tied into a chair. The lights flick on and the bag is pulled off to reveal Xerox.
:Sakeena: Xerox? Aren't you supposed to be in jail or something?
:Xerox: You literally saw me at the Sports Resort over the summer. Come on.
Xerox picks up a pipe wrench.
:Xerox: I'd love to chat but frankly I just don't really have the time. Now that both Leah and X-Ray are exactly where I want them, exactly how I want them... well, I certainly can't mess this up. If I do it right, she won't even know that it's happened.
:Sakeena: What the hell are you talking about?
:Xerox: Alright, alright. I'll tell you. I've got about half an hour before they decide to put Leah on the electric chair.
Xerox props her foot up on a stool as Sakeena looks oddly at her.
:Xerox: Right... well while I was in prison, I formulated a plan. One that would take X-Ray out of the picture, put me in her place, and have Leah love me like she does with X-Ray without her even knowing. 
:Sakeena: I'm confused.
:Xerox: Right. Yeah. Okay, let's start off with the trial. There's enough incriminating evidence to put Leah on death row. That's where I come in. I grab both Leah and X-Ray and do a little disguise up. I dress up like X-Ray, I dress X-Ray up as Leah, and me and Leah get out of here with nobody noticing.
:Sakeena: That's... extremely flawed. If Leah's dead, what is the real Leah doing to escape death row?
Xerox pauses for a second.
:Xerox: ...shit. That's a really good point. Hmm. Well... I suppose I could dress Leah up a bit for a while and then just live on the down low...
:Sakeena: And what about me? You can't just kill me without anyone noticing.
:Xerox: See, if I didn't want you to find me, I wouldn't have let you.
:Sakeena: Wait... what?
:Xerox: You're the only one in the group who gives a shit about Leah beyond just X-Ray, who is too preoccupied worrying about Leah to leave her side. You on the other hand, want to get to the bottom of things.
:Sakeena: Alright, what's my role?
:Xerox: Kind of eager to play along, aren't you? Well, I intend to frame the whole thing on you. They won't look into it too deeply... after all, we live in a post-9/11 America.
:Sakeena: ...you... what?
:Xerox: You know exactly what I'm talking about. Justice is bent against those who don't fit the model of white, albino people. 
:Sakeena: You're pretty white yourself, you know that?
:Xerox: Thanks. Now if you excuse me, I've got a switch up to do.
Xerox leaves the room with the pipe wrench as Sakeena attempts to get out of her chair.
:Sakeena: ARGHHHH!!!
----
X-Ray goes to get a drink of water as Rachel waits behind her. Rachel seems to notice... something... a little strange.
:Rachel: Wait a second... 
Rachel picks up an empty water bottle with "BIG WATER" scribbled onto it.
:Rachel: This is a tiny water bottle.
X-Ray leaves the water fountain looking stressed.
:Rachel: What's up X-Bubs?
:X-Ray: I'm worried about Leah.
:Rachel: Well, everyone is.
:X-Ray: I don't really see it, to be frank.
:Rachel: Look, everyone's just... kind of on edge. Leah's a real wildcard and she's done some... bad things. Murder wouldn't be out of her forte. 
:X-Ray: Leah's very nice.
:Rachel: Mmm...
Rachel flashbacks to a moment where Leah tripped her down the stairs.
:Leah: Prank'd!
Leah runs off and punts a bucket as Unten helps Rachel up. Rachel returns to reality.
:Rachel: Right... nice. 
X-Ray heads towards the bathroom as Rachel examines the "big water" bottle.
:Rachel: Wait a second, this is Sakeena's. She thought it would be ironically funny.
She glances down the hallway before hearing a loud scream.
:Rachel: X-RAY?!
X-Ray emerges from the bathroom.
:X-Ray: There's a huge-ass rat in there.
:Rachel: Oh, that makes sense. Where's Sakeena? She hasn't come back from the bathroom break from earlier...
:X-Ray: Probably hiding from the big-ass rat. C'mon.
Rachel reluctantly returns to the court room.
----
Sakeena tries to get free from the ropes.
:Sakeena: What kind of knot is this? 
Sakeena eyes a knife on the desk. Her legs aren't tied.
:Sakeena: She's really bad at this.
Sakeena grabs the knife with her mouth and gets out of the room in a racket.
----
X-Ray is attempting to get Leah out of the defendant seat.
:X-Ray: Can I see the accused for a second, outside of the courtroom?
:Judge: Can we even do that? I feel like we can't.
:Attorney: I feel like we can't too.
:Judge: Well see, I don't remember learning this in law school so...
Judge brings out his phone and calls a number.
:Judge: Richard! My prez.
:Rachel: The president has time for this shit?
:Strafe: He's got seemingly eternity to be president...
:Rachel: What is that dude's deal? What is he? Human? Alien? What the fuck? Am I the first to question this shit? Has he ever made this public?
:Judge: Yeah, I agree, it seems very unsafe.
Sakeena bursts into the room in a awkward walk. 
:Sakeena: That is NOT X-Ray!
Crowd gasps.
:Sakeena: I have the real X-Ray, right here.
Another Leah stumbles into the courtroom.
:Sakeena: Yeah, I know, she looks like Leah.
:Judge: I'm... not following here. What?
Sakeena sighs.
:Sakeena: Okay, so Xerox, who is Leah's ex, I guess, murdered that guy in cold blood in disguise as Leah, broke out of prison to do that and she was gonna pull a scheme where she was gonna kill and replace X-Ray. X-Ray would have died on the death row chair while Leah and Xerox escaped, with Leah none the wiser to what happened.
:Judge: Yeah... but why does X-Ray look like Leah?
:Sakeena: Leah was gonna be on death row but if X-Ray is Leah... jeez, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. This is incredibly convoluted. 
:Judge: Well, is she telling the truth?
Leah sits back a bit.
:Leah: Yo, X-Ray, what's the safe word?
X-Ray in jury row blushes.
:X-Ray: Uh... hamburger?
:Leah!X-Ray: It's "I love you."
:Leah: Yeah, Metals is telling the truth. 
Leah points to the X-Ray in jury row.
:Leah: Get her OUT of here.
X-Ray, who is really Xerox, is pulled away by two guys in police suits.
:Xerox: I just wanted you to love me!
Xerox starts crying as the room goes painfully silent. Suddenly a loud hentai moan fills the room.
:Reese: ...my headphones weren't in, were they?
----
X-Ray and Leah sit outside on a hill outside of the court room, looking out at the moon.
:X-Ray: Sorry about that whole Xerox thing.
:Leah: Why are you sorry? It's Xerox.
:X-Ray: I guess... I feel sorry for her. Being in love with someone that doesn't love you back... that must be painful.
Leah pauses for a long, long while.
:Leah: Yeah, I guess it would.
Leah pauses for a bit.
:Leah: What did I ever do to deserve you?
:X-Ray: ...you saved me from that Twisted Cross place, you cared for me beyond that. I felt loved and you made me feel like I mattered. 
:Leah: Nobody else made you feel like that?
:X-Ray: Not on the level you did. Treat others like you would want to be treated... you were the first person to treat me like I wanted to.
Leah smiles warmly.
:Leah: I'll never mistreat you.
:X-Ray: I don't doubt it for a second...
The two close towards each other, kissing each other on the lips before connecting their hands together.
