A/N: Hello, this is my first FanFiction (constructive criticism welcome!) and I'll try to have updates frequently, especially if at least someone likes it :) Anyways, here's the first chapter. I hope you like it and look forward to the next one soon!
"Objection!"
Everyone's attention turned to the direction that the voice came from. There, behind the defense's bench, stood a spiky-haired man, arm out and finger pointed accusingly.
"You're a liar, Ms. Senden! What you're proposing makes absolutely no sense!"
"Objection!"
Everyone's attention was now directed to the opposite side of the room, where a man donning a cravat stood behind the prosecution's bench. He smiled, shook his head, and shrugged. He was no stranger to the defense attorney's antics, but he was amused nonetheless.
"You disappoint me, Wright. What you're proposing makes no sense. You cannot call this witness a liar without the proper evidence."
The spiky-haired man put his fists on his hips and smiled triumphantly. "I thought you knew me better than that Edgeworth. Of course I have evidence!"
The man in the cravat tapped his temple with his pointer finger, as if to mock the defense attorney's logic and smirked. "Well then Wright, this better not be another one of your bluffs because-"
"Ugh, can you two stop flirting and just like, get to the point already?"
The two men were both caught off guard by the sudden interruption from the witness, Ms. Candy Senden. The girl twirled a lock of her blonde hair and blew a bubble with the gum that she'd been obnoxiously chewing on for the whole trial.
"It's like, really sad to watch. You're both old, but you act like little kids who like each other. You both have no game." Candy said.
"Flirting...?" Edgeworth repeated, flustered.
"Old? No game?" Phoenix repeated, sweating.
"Uh, yea. That's what I just said. Can I like, go now? I have a life, unlike some people." She pulled out her phone and started texting.
"Witness! How many times does the court have to tell you that you can't be on your phone while testifying! Do we have to confiscate it?" The judge chided. Candy sneered.
"Ugh, whatever old man. It's only cause I'm bored and I've been here like, all day. Why is everyone in court so boring and old?" The girl flipped her hair over her shoulder and petulantly crossed her arms.
"W-Witness! I'm shocked by your rudeness! Kids these days have no respect for their elders.. But, Ms. Senden does have a point. This trial has gone on for as long as it can today. I expect both the prosecution and the defense to look into the case some more before the next trial date so that more progress can be made. Dismissed!" The judge banged his gavel before any further discussion could be made, and everyone in the courtroom dispersed.
Further investigation of the case was admittedly the last thing that was on Phoenix Wright's mind as he made to leave the courthouse. He pondered over Candy's words. What had made her think such a thing?
He suddenly came face to face with none other than his childhood friend/courtroom rival, Miles Edgeworth. "Edgeworth?" He asked, in slight surprise.
"Wright." Edgeworth stated. There was a pause, and Edgeworth looked to the ground, grabbing at his own sleeve. "I hope you know that what I say and do in court isn't an attempt at 'flirting' as that girl said. I take my job very seriously." Phoenix blinked.
"Y-Yeah! And plus, we're not even attracted to each other! We're just friends! I don't think you're the flirting type, and you'd know if I was flirting with you!" That girl doesn't know me! I got game! Phoenix thought.
Edgeworth crossed his arms and closed his eyes thoughtfully. "Right, right. Well, I have somewhere to be. see you in court, Wright." Edgeworth smirked before turning around, leaving Phoenix to himself in the courtroom lobby.
Edgeworth's as distant as ever. Where does he have to be so soon? It's probably work related. All that guy does besides prosecuting is work in his office! I should probably get back to my office too, as soon as possible. It's dangerous to leave those three alone, unsupervised... Phoenix smiled before leaving the courthouse.
