Turnabout Gwen

A twelve-year-old Gwenivere Edgeworth sat at her desk with a laptop computer. She was supposed to be studying her parent's past cases, but she was bored and decided to take a break from the long and tedious case files. She noticed that one of her closest friends was on messenger, so she decided to talk to him while she sipped her Jasmine tea.

Gw3nfaerie49: Hallo, Herr Phoenix! ^_^ Wie geht es Ihnen?

AlwaysWright: I'm fine. And how are you?
Gw3nfaerie49: Hu… I am bored out of my mind (-_-;)

AlwaysWright: Well you know how your mother gets. But she really just wants you to do your best

Gw3nfaerie49: Haha. Dankeshön for the advice. I'll try to keep it in mind

When she felt overworked or just needed someone to talk to when her dad wasn't around, Gwen found herself talking to Phoenix Wright, one of her many mentors in life. She had known him ever since she was born and he had become like a second father to her.

Gwen was about to type something else when a voice came from behind her.

"Was machst du?" the voice asked in flawless German. She turned around to see her younger twin sisters, Katharine and Lene. Both had thick, blond hair (from their paternal grandmother) with bright blue eyes. Lene, the owner of the question, stood slightly in front of Katharine, showing that she was the one in charge.

"Nothing," Gwen said as she turned back to her computer. "Fortgehen please. I don't have time for fooling around with you kerle." She quickly pulled up the case files again and skimmed through them, hoping the twins would buy it. Lene, however, was too receptive.

"You know I don't believe you." Gwen sighed and turned around to face the eight-year-old.

"Leb wohl, schwester Lene. Leb wohl, schwester Katharine," Gwen shooed them out of her room and turned back to her computer.

Ten minutes later, Gwen and Phoenix were still talking when her mother came into the room.

"Gwenivere, are you doing your work?" Franziska Edgeworth asked. Gwen glanced at her mother and typed something. She pressed enter and turned around.

"Ja, Mama. Everything is going perfectly," Gwen answered carefully. If her mother knew that she had been talking to Herr Phoenix while she was supposed to be studying, all hell would break loose. Franziska noticed her daughter's nervousness, but decided to ignore it and walked out of the room.

AlwaysWright: Let me guess- the whip monster came to check in on you?

Gwen laughed and typed a response.

Gw3nfaerie49: Haha. Ja. Did I tell you she got me a whip for Christmas?

AlwaysWright: Well, when you become a prosecutor, don't whip Apollo or any other person into unconciousness like your mother did to me.

Gwen was full out laughing now. She didn't care if her mother caught her on the chat anymore. And catch her she did.

Gw3nfaerie49: Phoenix Wright! How dare you talk to my foolishly foolish daughter while she is supposed to be doing her work! You are a foolish fool and will not plant foolish ideas into her head!

"Um… I got caught up in talking with him?" Gwen said. When her mother just glared at her, she said, "Oh come on Mama! This is boring! I've been staring at case files for the past three days! I need fresh air!" Franziska took the laptop away and came back with paper copies of the case files. When her mother left the room, Gwen said, "Gottverdammt!" and opened one of the files.

Miles Edgeworth came home late from work. Everyone else in the house was already asleep. As he walked down the hallway, he noticed that Gwen's desk lamp was still on. He went in to turn it off and noticed his daughter slumped over a large binder. He sighed. Franziska had overworked her again. He picked Gwen up and tucked her into bed, giving her a kiss on the forehead. He turned the desk lamp out and started to walk out the room when Gwen spoke.

"Gute Nacht, Daddy…" she mumbled sleepily. Edgeworth smiled.

"Gute Natcht," he said. "Good night, Gwen."

"Ich Liebe Dich." Her voice was faint now as she slipped back into her dream world.

"I love you, too."
