Chun-li is sworn to tell the truth, and Dan approaches her.

"So Miss Xiang, what is your relationship with the defendent?" Dan questions. Crowd silences and expects the answer...

"Hehe...umm...well, you could say we're close..." Chunli says with a small smile.

"Answer the question Miss Xiang, and remember you are under oath," the Judge reminds her.

"Ummm....hehe, well we're reeeeeaally good friends...."

Dan raises a brow, "Is that all?"

Chun-li glares at him with a look that could melt through an iron wall, "Yes! Are you deaf or is your ego blocking your brain?"

"Ok, ok! Sheesh, is it your time of month or what...," Dan mutters. Chun-li turns red and shakes in fury. She contemplates killing him, but decides not to do it in front of the judge. She gets a better idea...

"Requesting permission to hurt Mr.Hibiki your honor," Chun-li asks sweetly while looking up at the judge. Judge nods and Chun-li punches Dan in the gut.

"Ooouch...," the crowd says.

"Ooof!!" Dan umm...oofs, as he sinks to the ground. Dan coughs and mutters something about woman and menace and a few other choice words that will not be mentioned. Chun-li smiles and sits back down.

"So... what... can you say... in Mr. Hoshi's favor," Dan says weakly.

"Hmm...well, he's a really nice guy..," Chun-li starts. "Always trying to help others, and he's saved the world a few times too."

Bison mutters a curse.

"Boring!" Vega says. Chun-li then glares at him.

"Aren't you annoyed that he constantly ignores you?" Vega asks in an irritated tone.

"Don't you mind he takes you for granted?" Cammy says, jumping into the conversation.

Chun-li looks astonished and glares at both of them. "He..he does not ignore me or take me for granted!"

"You can do better..." Rose says, adding her two cents. Ryu gulps and his jaw drops. "You too...?" he mutters to himself.

"And what about him hogging the spot light you deserve?" says Bison, jumping in as well...

"Uhh... that doesn't matter! Ryu... you ... you care about me, don't you? " Chun-li asks in a hopeful tone.

"Who cares about the strongest woman in the world... Ryu's the star... You'll never get recognition as long as he is here," Bison cuts in again. "Besides, I'll never attack you as long as Bandana boy's alive...."

Ryu looks desperate and holds his head in his hands. Dan finally speaks up, "Your Honor, they're badgering the witness!"

The Judge just shrugs and let's them continue. Chun-li looks at Ryu who hasn't answered her question yet (unknowing to her, he didn't hear it over the crowd), "Ryu....."

Ryu looks at her confused, Chun-li's bottom lip quivers.

"What?" Ryu asks.

"There he goes again," Vega starts again."Can't you see that he has no sense, no life..." said Vega. "He doesn't even listen to you! Who with half a mind in his thick skull would turn you down so many times?"

Chun-li looks like she's gonna cry... Ryu looks at Dan with a "do-something!" look. Dan hands her a tissue.

Ryu looks exasperated, "Arrgh!" He slams his fist onto the table shattering it without effort.

Dan pats Chun-li on the back, "There there, he doesn't mean to be a jerk..."

Ryu shakes in rage and sits down. He mutters, "Why the heck is she listening to them anyways...."

"I don't know what to ask her, she's your's Vega," Dan sighs. Before sitting down, he turns toward the judge, "By the way, Judge, why did'nt you stop all that?"

The Judge shrugs,"I like watching soap operas."

Vega smirks and walks over to Ryu and stands there. "Tell me Miss Xiang...How many times has Ryu broken your heart with his blunt behavior?" Vega says with false sympathy. Ryu is on the verge of Hadouken-ing Vega but then he realizes he can't since his hands are bound.

"N..none! We're....we're just....friends!" Chun-li nearly sobs.

"Look at her!" Vega says motioning to Chun-li, "She's a victim of Ryu's lack of emotion...How much longer must this lady's suffering continue?"

And if looks could kill Ryu would be convisted for murder on the spot...

"Can we allow him to continue this emotional abuse...Are we not responsible for our fellow Street Fighter's well being?" Vega continues.

"I don't lack emotion! It's just that... well..." Ryu tries.

"You see! He can't express himself! He's a shame to the Street Fighting world, Capcom should throw you to Nintendo!!" Vega acuses while pointing his finger at Ryu, who is trying to burn a whole in Vega with his eyes...

The crowd "Oooooes"... Ryu growls... Chun-li continues wailing...

"Its not my fault Capcom made me like this... I only do what the stupid script says!" Ryu says. "I mean, they control my endings....And they won't let me have a love life!!"

"Thats where you are wrong," Vega cut in. "The prosecution shows exibhibt B..." he said as he pulled out a peice of official looking paper. "This is Capcom Inc.'s memo to all the SF fighters from 1998...it says, and I quote," Vega began reading, "All Street Fighter characterss who are unsatisfied with their ending can file a complaint before the development of Street Fighter Aplha 3...end quote."

Vega waved the paper around as if he we're trying to emphasize some sort of point, "Did Mr. Hoshi bother?...I don't think so..."

Ryu sweatdrops..."Uhhhhh......I....well...what other ending could I have?"

Chun-li glares at him expectedly and crowd slaps their foreheads. Ryu, as usual, looks confused. Akuma takes out a radio.... (at least some of you should know what happens next...)

Akuma stands up and begans speaking in a gruff, serious tone, "Ryu, my nemesis, walks into the sunset with Chun-li, my nemesis' supposed love interest...And then they shake their respective BOOTIES!!" Akuma shouts. "Preferably together," he finishes in all seriousness. Ryu blushes, CL stops crying long enough to join him.

And then, it starts. Akuma starts "dancing"....

"Shake-Shake-Shake....Shake-Shake-Shake... Shake yo' BOOTY!!"

Collective sweatdrops ensue...

Windows shatter as Akuma "sings"....

Judge quirks an eyebrow to accompany the sweatdrop...

"ORDER IN THE COURT!!!!" the Judge yells to everyone's relief. Rose and Bison pull Akuma and gag his mouth with Rose's scarf.

"And don't drool on it!" Rose says with a disgusted look. "Alright then..." Judge says, "Who's next..."

Vega grins, "The prosecution calls.... Sagat to the stand!" Sagat approaches and high fives Vega. Ryu sweatdrops and continues writing his will...

"So tell me Sagat, what's your agenda with this sorry excuse for a pixalized warrior?" Vega says.

Sagat looks at Ryu angrily. "I'll tell you what my agenda with Ryu is... Ya see, way back in SF1 we fought, he was just a scrawny kid then, and I ofcourse was the Muy Thai Champion," Sagat says with more than a hint of pride. Then his tone got a tad disgusted. "Well, when we fought, he...." Sagat seemed to be having trouble getting the last words of the statement out..."He...w...."

"Heeeeee.....?" Vega coaxed, with hands motions to emphasize...

"Heeee....wo-wo....." Sagat tried again.

"He wo-wo?" Vega tried coaxing some more...

"He...wo....w...wo... GRR!! HE WON OK?!?!" Sagat yelled.

"Ooookaaayyy..." Vega said with a raised eyebrow. "Continue..."

Sagat sighed, "Ok, lets just say that was a lucky shot... Then I fight him again...and guess what, I.... grrr... lose again...Look at me and then look at him! I'm over 7 feet tall!! I'm twice as big and experienced! How can he beat me twice?? And still he looks unharmed!! I was casted all over, I had burn marks on my chest, I get a scar the length of a baseball bat and HE waltzes around into the sunset!! It's a scandel I say!"

"No, you just suck..." Ryu mutters.

Dan rises to his feet,"Sagat, it's not Ryu's fault. You're a sorry warrior, you're tall and look like a pirate in shorts... Even I beat you!"

At this the crowd and especially Bison gasp in shock.

Sagat hurredly defends himself, "Uh huh, sure, and your father said the same thing...."

Dan cries in rage," You b@$^@%*!! I'll kill you! OYAAGIIIIIII!!!"

Sagat rises to his feet, "Come and get me lil man!"

Ryu stops Dan, mutters something in his ear and points at something to his left. Dan smiles wickedly, "You deny I defeated you correct?"

Sagat nods and sits down. "Of course."

"Well what do you say about this?" Dan says and takes out the New York Times, dated 1st of August 1997. It has a certain picture on the front.

Sagat fidgets in his seat...

"Lookey here, mighty Sagat in a picture with...let's see...oh, me! Standing on his unconcious sorry form..." Dan says with a smirk. He shows the picture to everyone. The crowd gasps.

"Thats a fake, I never lost to you!" Sagat yells.

"Tell it to your barber you pirate wannabe..." Sakura says.

"Yeah you suck! No wonder Ryu beat you! You lost to Dan!" Karin says and laughs.

Bison cries in rage, "You insolent welp! You told me you were hit by a BMW!"

"He was..." Dan says and smiles to point at Karin. "Miss Kanzuki here hasn't got her license yet, right?" Dan says with a grin.

Karin sees her dad in the crowd looking furious. She gulps and nods weakly...

"Sorry Dad, couldn't resist..." Karin admits.

"I already now what happened, just leave me alone, you pink teletubbie," Sagat says

"Ohhh....that hurt....Where'd you learn that comeback, kindergarden?" Dan says

"It's better than your sense of fashion, pinky," Sagat says with smirk.

"Agh! Grrrrr.... I'm telling you pink is in this year!" Dan returns.

"Sure, sure and Ryu has a personality," says Sagat.

"Hey!!!" Ryu interrupts, "I resent that!"

"Ryu, that's what this whole trial is about. Everyone thinks that..." Rose says.

"Oh...yeah. Well, they're all wrong," Ryu sits and pouts, if you can imagine him pouting...

"Enough! Get to the point Mr.Hibiki!" Judge says.

"Ahem, well...like I was saying. Sagat can't complain about Ryu beating him... Because I beat him too, as well as few other people have too.... because he sucks," Dan states.

The crowd nods.

"I beat him," Sakura says. "Me too..." Gen echos. A line of people begin talking... stating the same thing. Sagat sweatdrops.

Bison grumbles.."And I hired him as a lord of Shadowlaw? No wonder I keep losing!!"

"No you lose cause you're stupid..." Cammy cuts in. Bison gives Cammy a rather rude gesture... causing Cammy to rise to her feet.

"You wanna piece of me, butt chin!?!" Cammy yells while shaking her fist.

"Bring it on!" Bison says and bursts into flames.

"Okay then! GRRrrrr!!!" Cammy lunges at Bison... but stops when she hear a booming voice...

"ORDER IN THE COURT!!!" Judge yells. "Enough! Next witness, you're giving me a migrane..."

"The Defense calls Ken masters to the podium.." Dan umm.. calls.

"Finally..." Ryu mutters. Ken aproaches the stand, he is sworn in and sits down, flashing a winning smile before sitting...

"Umm... your witness," Dan says to Vega.

"What??!" Ryu, Ken, and Vega all say at the same time.

"I figure there's no way this could get screwed up, besides I gotta go to the bathroom..." Dan states and walks out of the room and into the men's room. "Ooookaaaayy...," everyone besides him says. "So Mr.Masters, what do you have to say to about Mr.Hoshi?" Vega begins.

"Well, he's my best bud..." Ken starts.

"And...?" Vega prods.

"He's pretty cool once you get to know him....He's always up for a sparring session..." Ken continues.

"Anything else? Movies? Women? And remeber you're under oath..." Vega prods some more.

"Well....uhh..." Ken stammers. "He doesn't go to movies...and women...weeeeelll.... I think he likes Chun-li... He's just too shy to say anything....I think.."

Chun-li looks on, teary eyed and hopeful, "Ryu... you really do care!!"

Ryu sweatdrops, and blushes, "Uhh....hehe..."

The crowd awwwws...

Chun-li stands up and yells, "SEE I TOLD YOU!!!"

Vega sweatdrops and thinks, "Just one minute...I have a recorded video that proves otherwise... Bring in the video!"

The TV/VCR complete with the video is weeled in as everyone looks on.

The video rolls, showing Ryu and Ken resting from a spar. They begin talking...

"Ryu...Aren't you gonna settle down one day?" Ken asks.

"I dunno...I mean...the ideas is ok.... but I think I'd rather just fight," Ryu starts. "The fight is all."

"Ahh c'mon, what about Chun... I've seen how you look at her..." Ken says in a sly tone.

Ryu blushes, "Hheheh...well.....She's pretty and all..." He shakes his head, "But...I...I can't...Not until I avenge Sensei..."

Chun-li's face falls. The video continues.

"The Fight is all until I prove I can do it..." Ryu says in the video. Vega looks smugly and turns off the video. Chun-li shakes in rage...

"D*mn you VEGA!!! Why do you have to ruin everything!!??" Chun-li yells and attacks Vega, who screams like a girl. Ryu shifts uncomfortably.

"Maybe I have gone a little too far..." Ryu admits.

"Ya think so?!?!" -Chun-li yells between punching Vega, who is still screaming like a girl.

"Perhaps...But you've gotta understand..." Ryu started explaining. "I pledged to reach the meaning of the fight, to break it would to break my honor...my being, my...pur.." "Is that all you freaking care about????" Chun-li interrupts with a yell.

"Its not that...Just listen..." Ryu tries.

Chun-li sobs and leaves the courtroom.

Ryu's face falls. "Chun-li!!" Ryu yells after her to no avail, "Come back!"

Ken points at Vega, "Look what you did..."

Vega blinks.

"You better get a body guard...I dont think Ryu's gonna be happy..." Cammy shouts at Vega. Vega gulps...
