Hey! :D
Before I try and attempt a huge multi-chapter of some sort, I've decided to write 50 short drabbles about stuff Nick and Co. get up to in their free time and at work. I'm asking my friends, family and my mum's clients for random words to use, so some will probably be really strange. XD
Please review if you can- it really helps! :D
Oh, and one more thing. To everyone who's favourited my work, reviewed my work, followed me and my work and given me positive feedback, I just want to say thank you so much. I know I don't say it that much, and I don't often reply back to all your awesome reviews and stuff, but thank you. You've all kept me going! :'D
Anyway, on with the first drabble! I hope you enjoy it. :)
Apollo Justice was angry.
More specifically, he was angry at his supposed 'friends'- namely, Phoenix Wright, Trucy Wright, Klavier Gavin and Athena Cykes.
Phoenix, after receiving a new case, had told Apollo all about it. Apollo was naturally happy for his mentor- it had been ages since he had taken on a case- and couldn't wait to hear the results of the trial; after all, the case in question was a genocide, and it was extremely important- so important, in fact, that Phoenix was specifically requested for the role of defence and didn't have much choice anyways.
Unfortunately, disaster struck the night before the trial- Phoenix had forgotten to file out the official paperwork saying that he'd accept the case. He'd already retired home for the night and decided that it would be quite educational, as he put it, for Apollo- and so poor Apollo had to fill in a humongous pile of paperwork at around eleven o' clock at night.
Trucy- Phoenix's adopted daughter- had also managed to anger him; Apollo had promised a few friends that he'd meet up and go watch a movie with them at the weekend, Trucy's latest magic show being on the Friday of that week. At the last moment, Trucy had to change the date for the magic show to Saturday due to the venue having a lot of maintenance done to it and also being changed- now, Apollo knew he couldn't blame her for the mishap, but his friends had already bought the movie tickets for Saturday.
It was quite hard to explain to them what had happened.
Klavier Gavin and Athena Cykes had angered Apollo by means of humiliation- namely, in front of a girl. Apollo was sitting in People Park, by the lake, on the small wooden bench, just wasting his free time by watching the ducks quack and splash playfully in the shallows and the swans glide gracefully across the deeper parts of the lake. He didn't expect a young woman around his age to come and sit next to him, holding a hot dog in her hand and, wiping a spot of mustard from the corner of her mouth with her finger, asking if she could sit down- but he moved over and let the grateful woman sit down and carry on eating her hotdog.
Before he could notice the blush rising to her cheeks, Apollo heard footsteps behind him- but it was too late. The next moment, Apollo found himself soaking wet, stifled laughter coming from directly behind him. After regaining his composure, rubbing his eyes, straightening his hair as best he could and finally turning to see who had done it, he found himself glaring at nothing. He turned back to see that the girl had vanished and that Klavier and Athena were staring at him, biting their lips and clutching their stomachs, both holding empty plastic buckets. In vain, they tried to stifle their oncoming laughter, but they couldn't- and so Apollo trudged back to the Agency, flanked on either side by two hysterically laughing pranksters.
And this had all happened on the same day.
Now, Apollo could try and hide it all he wanted, but there was no denying that he was absolutely furious. Humiliated, frustrated, and worn out, Apollo had thought bitterly about the events of that fateful day, wondering just why it was always him.
Apollo then remembered what the four had done for him that hadn't particularly ruined his day; in fact, things that had quite the big impact on him as a person in general.
Phoenix was his mentor, and as annoying as he could be, he was the kindest, most determined and awe-inspiring man Apollo had ever met. If it wasn't for him, Apollo would still be working under a mass murderer, and he would never have learnt how to survive in the darkest of times.
Trucy was his mentor's adopted daughter, and she always kept a brave face- even when everything had appeared to have gone wrong. Apollo had learnt that no matter what, he should keep smiling- something that had helped him out various times before when he felt like all hope had been lost.
Klavier and Athena were also very brave people, and had shown Apollo that, even when those closest to you have been lost in the darkness, you can always get through the ensuing pain and sadness when you have friends to help you through it. For Klavier, it had been his brother and best friend revealed as murderers; for Athena, it had been her mother's murder when she was just a child, and the imprisonment of one of her closest friends; and for Apollo, it had been his best friend's murder, and the fact that he had never known his family- but all three had managed to get through it with a little help from their friends.
Yes, Apollo Justice was angry; he couldn't deny that fact.
More specifically, he was angry at his supposed 'friends'.
But he felt like the luckiest person in the world to have friends like that.
