A/N: I had this idea while I was playing Phoenix Wright on my DS. I like the game and thought that Jade as a defense attorney would be cool, so, I wrote this one. Hope you like it.

Jade's POV

I'm Jade West. Recently, I became a lawyer, and, well... Things are always troubling for me, but, let me tell you about my recent case, which was a very troubling one, especially, because that one involves my friend Tori Vega. Yes, after clashing everytime, we decided to calm down and be friends. So, lets start this story:

Turnabout Friendship

A normal day in West & Co. Law Offices. Then, I received a call "Ms. West?" the person said, "Yes?" I answered, then the person on the other side said "You've got a case" "Oh, yeah? Just a normal one, I suppose" I said, "Not a normal one, well, you are required to defend Ms. Tori Vega, apparently, she was accused of killing Mr. Eikner, the ex-principal of Hollywood Arts" the person explained, "I'm on my way to the detention center" I promptly answered.

After driving for about twenty minutes, I arrived to the LA Detention Center and asked to see Tori. She came to talk to me and said "Jade? What are you doing here?" "I'll be defending you on your trial tomorrow" I explained. "So, can you tell me how you got involved in this mess?" I continued; "Well, it was like this:"

I was going to the principal office and when I got in, I saw Mr. Eikner's dead body on the floor. I didn't knew what to do, I just left the room, but Helen saw me outside and saw the body inside the room. She held me there and called the police, I was then arrested and brought here.

"And this is the whole story" she finished. "Did you find anything out of place inside the room?", I asked; "Well, papers were on the floor and the room was a mess", she answered; "The room was a mess? Strange", I said, thinking a little, "Guess I have a case; don't worry, you'll be out of this in no time", I said, calming her down; "Jade?", she said in low voice; "Yup?", I said; "Thank you, I hope you can get me out of this", she said; "I'll do it, Tori. Don't worry, everything will go fine tomorrow", I said.

The Next Day...

Los Angeles Court of Law, Defendant Lobby #2

I'm feeling nervous, it's my first time defending one of my best friends. But I must keep my promise to Tori, I'll get her out of this, I'll get her a not guilty veredict. After talking to Tori for a while, I saw coming to me, he said, "Jade?"; "Yes, ?", I answered; he told me "I heard that your father will be the prosecutor for this case"; "What? My DAD?" I said loudly.

Five minutes later, we were called into the courtroom, I stayed on my spot and my dad said "Well, well, well, if isn't my Jade here. Are you ready to see your client go to prison, Jade?" Tori trembled in fright when she heard that, but I said "She won't go to prison, she is innocent and I can prove it.

Opening the trial, the Judge said:

"We are here for the trial of Ms. Tori Vega; Mr. West, your opening statement, please"

"As you all know, Ms. Tori Vega was found near the crime scene, and all our evidence point to her as the culprit. As everyone needs a fair trial before going to prison, here we are" , the prosecutor said

"Ms. West, is the defense ready?"

"The defense is ready, your honor" I respectedly said.

"Mr. West, is the prosecution ready?"

"Prosecution is ready, as well" prosecutor said again.

"So, let the trial begin"

"The prosecution would like to call our first witness to the stand". Helen, the now principal of Hollywood Arts appears on the witness stand. "Witness, state your name and occupation".

Helen says "My name is Helen, I'm the new principal in Hollywood Arts".

"Very well, Ms. Helen, let's hear your testimony"

Witness Testimony "What I saw that day"

"I was wandering around Hollywood Arts to see if all students were in their classrooms and spotted the defendant near my office. I went in the office and saw 's dead body. The defendant was beside the body, holding a knife"

"Hold it" I said "Ms. Helen, was there any blood in the knife?"

"Ms. West, I clearly saw blood dripping from the knife"

"Clearly?" I asked.

"Yes, there sure was blood in the knife"

"We did a through look in the knife and saw no blood on it" I told her.

"Well, uh, maybe she cleaned the knife before I found her".

"Is this really relevant to the case at hand, Jade?" the prosecutor said.

"Of course it is, this can make the trial come to a good end" I yelled "OBJECTION!".

"Ms. West?"

"The witness contradicted herself" I yelled.

"Care to explain your point, Ms. West?"

"Remember what the witness said: "I clearly saw blood dripping from the knife" and "Maybe she cleaned the knife before I found her" "There is a unexplainable gap in this testimony, which is: How can she see the blood, AFTER the defendant cleaned it?"

"I see your point, Ms. West. Care to explain it, Ms Helen?"

"All right, here we go":

Witness Testimony "What I did"

"I'm sorry, the knife was on the ground, but, clearly there was a knife hole in the body, and the defendant was near it."

"So, you didn't see the defendant holding the knife?" I said.

"No, it was on the ground"

"What did you do after you saw my client beside the body?"

"Held her there and called the police, of course"

Dammit, that wasn't helping that much, so I said:

"Defense is satisfied with the answers, although we need more clarification about the case"

"Jade, it's over, there is nothing you can do"

Wait a minute, this doesn't prove she is guilty, I then yelled "It isn't over yet, this doesn't prove the defendant is guilty, I have a witness who can clearly answer our questions. Defense calls Ms. Trina Vega to the stand"

A/N: What will Trina say about the case? Get to know this and other things on the next chapter. Hope you liked this one.
