Hi there, I'm back with a new story, and yes it is about Franziska von Karma. I'll be writing other stories too but Franziska is just too awesome. I put the years in the dates because there will be flashbacks from time to time. If it's in italics then it is a flashback.(If it's in parentheses, it's inner monologue like in the game, mostly Franziska's unless she isn't in a certain scene.) So anyways, readers are liked, reviews are loved, people who favorite/follow are worshiped. Enjoy :D

?-"How can you leave me like this? After all we've been through!"
"You don't understand. I have to, I just have to."
?-"You want to throw away everything we have to avenge your father! Is that it?
"No! This has nothing to do with my father!" Tears started to form in the couple's eyes.
?-"Then why are you leaving me?"
"It's complicated. I-"
Intercom-"Flight 156 to Los Angeles now boarding."
"I have to go." The woman walked towards the plane with her whip and suitcase, and didn't look back.
?-"Franziska!" The young man did not chase after her. He whispered to himself as he watched the plane leave, "It's not over yet; I won't give up that easily. We'll see each other soon, meine liebe."

High Prosecutor's Office
Room 1201
"Franziska I know you're just trying to avoid me. Can't we talk about this?" Edgeworth pleads. She continues to ignore him by pretending to look for more case files.
"I assure you that my actions have nothing to do with you, Miles" Franziska lies. She actually has no idea what she is looking for, but she keeps reaching up higher pretending that the case files are simply out of her reach.
"You know I have a step-ladder in my office. Would you like to borrow it? Edgeworth laughs. He can clearly see that Franziska is just pretending.
"That's just a ladder you fool!" She yells. "I am perfectly capable of simply climbing up a foolish bookcase!"
(Honestly! There is a difference between ladders and step-ladders.)
Edgeworth sighs. "Look Franziska, I know you saw that list I made earlier."Edgeworth grimaces, hoping that Franziska simply hasn't read it yet.
"I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about," She lies again.
(I read it several times actually.)

"Here, I'll get it for you," Miles walks towards Franziska's desk, happy to change the subject.
"Miles Edgeworth, I am perfectly capable of answering my own phone. Don't you dare!" Edgeworth tries to contain his laughter, but seeing Franziska trying to climb down a bookcase is not a familiar sight.
"Gah! I will not have my subordinate laughing at me!" Franziska attempts to whip Edgeworth from her position but almost falls off the bookcase.
Edgeworh laughs, "Franziska von Karma's office, her subordinate, Miles Edgeworth speaking."
"This isn't funny Miles!" Franziska yells, but Edgeworh simply responds with his condescending (yet irresistible) smirk.
"M-Mr. Edgeworh? Um, is Franziska there, it's Adrian, Adrian Andrews."
"Ah Ms. Andrews, what business do you have with Franziska?" Edgeworth says.
"Adrian Andrews? Miles Edgeworth you will give me my phone immediately! -Whoa!" Franziska falls off the bookcase only to be caught in Miles's arms. A slight blush forms on her face as she stares into his grey eyes. She realizes that Adrian is still on the phone and snatches it away from Miles.
"Ahem, hello Ms. Andrews, how can i help you?"
Adrian giggles, "I already told you Franziska, just call me Adrian."
Miles fiddles with Franziska's things while she is on the phone until-

Miles checks the caller ID on his cell phone and answers immediately."Yes... yes... what do you mean you need help?"
"Anyways Franziska, are you doing anything tomorrow? I was wondering if you would like to have breakfast maybe" Adrian asks sheepishly.
After a long pause, Franziska replies, "I suppose this is possible. I don't have work and I-"
"Great! I'll pick you up around 8?"
"That is acceptable, goodbye Ms. Andrews."
"Adrian," she corrects.
"Adrian." With that, Franziska hangs up the phone and sees a flustered Miles waiting by her desk.
"Franziska, I- that was Agent Lang, he needs help in Zheng Fa and is requesting my assistance, I may not be back for a few days," Miles explains. Franziska stays silent and pretends that she doesn't care but even Miles can see she is upset.
(So you're missing my birthday again.)
"Franziska I promise i'll make it up to you." Edgeworth rushes out the door leaving an unhappy Franziska alone in her office.
(It was foolish to think he would stay for me, he never stays for me.)
Franziska sits down at her desk and files paperwork for the rest of the day...
So, what do you think? Is it worth continuing or should I give up my dreams now? What do you think Edgeworth will do to make it up to her? Who is the mystery person in the beginning? All will be revealed if I decide to continue...(good reviews will persuade me to continue.)
