They Don't Know About Us (Kylie x Malia)

Chapter 13

"The prosecutor may call on whoever for the first testimony." The prosecutor stands and buttons her jacket. "Thank you. The prosecutor calls for Miss. Ruby Rose Turner to the stand, please." Ruby stands nervously, stealing a quick glance at Kylie as she walks up to the stand. Someone walks up to her with the bible, to which she places her hand on top of while raising the other. "Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?" "I swear." She then takes her seat as the lawyer walks up to her. "Miss. Turner, how long have you known Miss. Cantrall?" "For about ten years." Ruby smiles at her. Kylie, while nervous, smiles back at her best friend. "And during that time, did you ever notice any....strange behavior from her?" Ruby turns to him with a death stare that made Kylie gulp. She knows that look. Ruby gets it every time someone says something bad about her. Like an automatic defense mechanism. She does not like it when someone accuses her best friend of something. Ruby takes a deep breath. "Strange behavior, how exactly?" She asks. "Did you ever see her try and make any advances towards Miss. Baker?" "No." She is quick to answer. "Ok, ok. What about Miss. Baker, did she initiate anything?" "No." He nods. "So in your own words, what do you think happened? What brings us here today if no advances were taken?" Ruby sighs.

"We were all hanging out and i started a game of spin the bottle." She tells him. "Ok, and during the game, I'm going to assume Miss. Cantrall and Miss. Baker kissed, correct?" "Yes." "And did anything else happen?" "No, it ended as soon as it happened. It was a simple peck." Ruby glances at Kylie. "And did anything happen afterwards?" "I wouldn't know, we all left to go back to our rooms." "And were Kylie and Malia sharing a room that night?" "Yes." He nods as he looks to be thinking of something. "What about afterwards? I mean, clearly something must have happened if we're here today. Did you ever hear anything or see anything happen between them afterwards?" Ruby sighs as she looks at Kylie. She nods. "I noticed the tension between them afterwards, yes. And when i talked to Kylie about it, she said that they were together." He nods. "Did they seem like they were being intimate?" Ruby grinds her teeth. "Define intimate." "Did they seem like they were having sexual intercourse?" "No, as far as i know, they were waiting until Malia turns eighteen." The lawyer eyes her, as if he was frustrated he couldn't get anything out of her. "No further questions." He walks back to his table and sits. Kylie's lawyer stands and walks up to her. "Miss, Turner. You've known Kylie for almost ten years, right?" Ruby nods. "In those ten years, can you tell us, did she seem any different after she met Miss. Baker?" Ruby nods. "She did, she seemed happier, lighter. She was writing more songs." He turns to her. "Songs? Care to elaborate?" "Love songs." "Love songs, about Miss. Baker?" Ruby shrugs. "I wouldn't know, she wouldn't tell me anything but i would assume so, yes." "And, for how long has she been writing these love songs?" Ruby thinks. "Probably ever since she met Malia." "So it's safe to say that this isn't just a physical thing between the two?" Ruby shakes her head. "No. Their connection is more than that." "No further questions." He walks back and sits next to Kylie. "Miss, Turner, you're free to sit back down." Ruby stands and goes back to her seat.

She smiles at Kylie as she passes her. She sits next to Mel, who holds her hand and smiles and nods. "You may call the next person." "Yes, we would like to call Miss. Dara Renee to the stand." Dara takes a deep breath and walks up. They repeat the process with the bible before she sits. "Miss. Renee, you've known Miss. Cantrall since High School Musical the Series, correct?" "Yes, that is correct." He nods. "And then you two went on to work on this movie together?" She nods. "Yes." "And on High School Musical, i read her character was supposed to have a female love interest towards the end but the idea was scrapped. Is that true?" Dara glances at Kylie. "Yes. The network said that there wasn't enough screen time to explore her character's sexuality." He nods. "And i also read that it was supposed to be her own manager who used to act?" She freezes. Where was he going with this? "Yes, Kylie and Mel were supposed to play love interest towards the end as a forbidden Manager/Client love story but the idea was scrapped when we ran out of screen time for the show." (A/N this is entirely made up because Mel is an entirely made up character but could you imagine is Dani was a bitch because she was in a secret lesbian relationship that she couldn't go public with that caused her great pain?) He nods. Could he just stop nodding and say what he has to say already? "And do you think that forbidden love story appealed to Miss. Cantrall? You think maybe she liked the idea? The thrill that she would see that excitement with Miss. Baker?" That's where he's getting at. Mel rolls her eyes as Dara stares at him. With the amount of stares this lawyer was getting, it's surprising he didn't turn to stone or drop dead yet.
