Right. Hi guys! Thank you for reading my work! I figured that I have been doing a lot of the collection recently, so I decided to move my focus over to more substantial stories. Yes, I will post another story into the collection, but only about once a week. So, this is Turnabout Sunflowers. I also realised (Skip this if you are bored) that I have done too much Feenziska... So here, I have the latest and greatest pairing, Apollo x Juniper. Enjoy!

Chapter One: Court... Again.
A shot rang out in the darkness, as Juniper ran as fast as she could in the direction of the art room. She could hear the footsteps got faster and faster. As much as she wanted to pull the sunflower from behind her ear and sniff it to calm down, this would result in her death. She crashed head first into a stone sculpture, sending it toppling to the floor. She was trapped. There was no way out. The figure filled the entrance, and was brandishing a gun in their hand. "I've got you now, Woods." they said. A shot rang out in the darkness. And Juniper Woods slumped to the floor. The sunflower from ear dropped to the ground.
Why was I so nervous? This was my sixth case by then, so I had plenty of experience. Was it the fact that I was defending alone? Was I tired? Did I not practice my chords of steel that morning? I never knew. As I was pondering this, my client sat down next to me on the sofa. She looked tired and was coughing all over the place. Then again, this was her third time as a defendant. So, hang on, why was I defending alone again? That's right. Athena was on vacation, and Phoenix and Trucy were in courtroom number three. I was stuck by myself at the defense bench, up against chief prosecutor Miles Edgeworth. Oh boy, this was going to go well.
"I'll go with you." said a voice. I realised it was Juniper who had said it.
"What do you mean?" I asked back.
"cough I mean, I can see you don't have any help with you, cough cough so I'll go with you by the defense bench. Is that cough okay?" she exclaimed.
"Yeah, sure it's okay, but you've had a rough time, Juniper, and..." I began, but she interupted me. "Please, call me Junie."
"Okay... You've obviously had a rough time... Junie... By the way, where is your sunflower?"
"I don't know. I cough lost it." she replied. At that moment, the bailiff asked us to adjourn to the courtroom. We stood up and walked through the double doors. This case was going to be different to the others.
"All rise for the Judge..."
The judge walked up the stairs to his chair and took his usual seat. "Good Morning." he said. "The trial of Juniper Woods is now in session. Is the defense ready?" he asked. I looked at Junie. She was feeble and weak, but still managing to pull a smile.
"The defense is ready, your honor."
"Is the prosecution ready?" asked the judge, turning his gaze to the man in a cravat sitting on the other side of the room. He bowed and nodded.
"Well then, will you please give your opening statement, Mr Edgeworth?"
"Actually, I would like to say a few words to Mr Justice over there." he replied.
"Oh. Very well." said the judge.
"Mr Justice." Mr Edgeworth mused. "I have looked forward to this day for a while. I finally get to face you in court. And look at your lovely assistant. She is also the defendant, is she not?" Junie blushed and nodded. "Well then, I expect you to be careful, Miss Woods. We wouldn't want you in contempt would we?"
"Well said, Mr Edgeworth." said the judge approvingly. Great. This was going to be one tough trial.
To Be Continued...
