The clock struck two and most of the girls stood patiently at the station. Mei was jumping up and down and Katrina was swaying from side to side. The train would arrive in ten minutes, if on time that is.
"You excited?" Vivienne asked, turning to Tsukasa.
"Eh? Oh… er… hmm," was the reply.
Vivienne May is a well-known defence attorney and just for the record, has no relation to April May WHAT SO EVER!
Her long red hair flicked behind her as yet another train sped past.
"I… er… see," she stated, even though she had no idea what Tsukasa was on about.
It's hard to understand Tsukasa most of the time because she rarely says much. Her answers to questions are usually just mumbles. No one really knows much about her because she doesn't talk about herself at all.
Tsukasa lowered her head so that her long purple fringe draped over her eyes.
It was twenty five past two when a train finally screeched to a halt at the station. The doors flew open and Apollo Justice strode out, a little nervous of his new surroundings. Katrina looked up from the book she had started reading, threw it on the floor and raced towards Apollo. She flung her arms around him as if she hadn't seen him in years, even though it was only two weeks since her last visit. Next out of the train was Matt Engarde with a very sleepy Shoe on his left shoulder. After picking up Katrina's strewn book, Iris-Rose went to greet her new roommates. Following shortly behind was Phoenix, or Nick to his close friends, carrying two large suitcases, one in each hand, and a shoulder bag strung over his right shoulder. Vivienne sighed, walked swiftly up to Mr. Wright, took one suitcase with ease and guided him to where the others were waiting. Klavier and Kristoph Gavin were the next to step/stumble (in the case of Klavier) out of the train. Kristoph adjusted his glasses and pointed to the train. Klavier slumped back into the recently mentioned transportation and re-emerged with four rather full bags piled on top of each other. Realising this, Tsukasa jumped and ran to help the struggling Gavin brother. Last to make his appearance was Miles Edgeworth, wearing too many layers of clothing to count. He sighed and started to go and greet his temporary roomie, Tari. Phoenix couldn't help but snigger at Edgeworth's appearance but Miles gave him a stern stare and Wright ceased his laughing.
"Edgeworth, I told you it might be a bit cold, not arctic temperature!" joked Nick.
Edgeworth sighed heavily, excused himself and snuck off to the nearest public toilets.
When he came back, the bags had been loaded onto the coach and all were on board but three, Mei, Kristoph and Miles himself. Edgeworth had removed several layers so that he was now wearing and white shirt, black trousers and a loose black tie. He stepped on board the coach and chose a seat next to Tari at the back. Katrina peered round the coach door and called to the remaining two.
"What are you two doin'? You comin' or what!?"
She then retreated back in. Kristoph leaned in to kiss Mei but she'd already started walking to the door of the coach. Kristoph sighed and followed.
The journey was long, a little more than three hours to be exact, but they'd finally arrived. A tall, imposing, 6-bedroom, 3-bathroom, living room, dining room, kitchen and indoor pool house stood in front of the twelve (thirteen if you include Shoe) nervous soon-to-be housemates. Kristoph, the supposedly "most reliable" of the group, held the key, so he stepped up the long, winding path to the crimson front door. He put the key in, turned it slowly and swung open the large door. Klavier walked up and gazed in wonder at the huge hallway. He stepped into the house and Tsukasa followed, keeping close behind. Suddenly, a loud BANG was heard from inside the house.
The others rushed in to find Tsukasa staring down at the floor.
"What the hell happened!?" asked Iris-Rose, a now not-so-sleepy Shoe gnawing at her arm.
Tsukasa pointed down. A trap-door had been triggered, sending Klavier hurtling down to the basement.
"You baka!" yelled Kristoph, again pushing up his glasses. Then came a faint "Ow" from the wounded Gavin.
"He'll survive," said Mei, who was carrying two bags in one hand and a tattered notebook in the other, "Unfortunately."
She sighed, jumped over the hole and started up to her room. Kristoph went after her, offering to hold the bags for her.
After everyone had sorted out their rooms, unpacked and got changed, they all gathered in the living room. Apparently, Klavier had some interesting news.
"What is it you useless idiot?" Mei asked, sitting on a two-seater sofa, slightly leaning on Kristoph. Klavier cleared his throat.
"I have some news I wish to share with you all."
"Well get on with it," said Matt, growing impatient.
"Well er…me and uh… yes well…" he began.
Iris-Rose got a revolver out of her "emergency-fop-killing-kit" bag and aimed at the stuttering Gavin's forehead. "I would hurry up and spit it out if I were you." She glared at Klavier, making him sweat a little.
"Yes ok… er… hmm…"
Iris-Rose started to pull the trigger.
"AHH! MeandEdgeyareinarelationshipandpleasedon'tkillmeIris-RosebecauseIhaven'tdoneanythingtoyou!"
A chorus of "What!?" came afterwards.
"Me and Edgey are in a relationship and please don't kill me Iris-Rose because I haven't done anything to you." He repeated.
"HA!" began Phoenix, "So THAT'S what you were doing when you said you were doing laundry Edgeworth! Is that Klavier's nickname? Laundry? Ha, get it? Doing laun… Oh forget it!" he sighed, regaining his "cool".
By this time, Edgeworth had grabbed the nearest pillow and was hiding his entirely red face.
"You fucking fairy!" was the next comment, made by Kristoph.
Then came, "OMG! YAOI!" from Katrina.
Klavier walked up to Edgeworth and said, "I don't think that went so well, you know?"
Edgeworth groaned from behind the pillow and slumped down even more.
Tsukasa jumped up from her seat and yelled, "Stop shouting at them! It's their own decision if they want to be together and there's nothing wrong with that!"
Everyone turned to Tsukasa, shocked at how load she could be when she wanted to.
"Whoa! What was that Tsukasa?" Apollo questioned.
Tsukasa gasped and then covered her mouth.
"Why are you sticking up for those fools?" asked Vivienne, pointing to the two lovers.
Tsukasa, now almost as red as Miles, ran up to her and Klavier's room.
"What was THAT all about?" wondered Katrina.
"Who knows? Maybe she just likes yaoi…?" replied Tari, still a little deaf from the screaming.
Klavier got up from his crouching position and started up the stairs to find Tsukasa.
