It was a cold night outside, Gregory Edgeworth was getting tired of taking on a very long case alongside his partner Raymond Shields. Gregory wore his attire normally like he did during his investigations as well as his trials, whereas Raymond wore a normal journalist attire like what the eighteen-year-old would always wear. With the brink of a snowstorm coming, the two individuals decided to stop in at a local bar for Gregory to get his drink and Raymond to grab himself a cup of water.

"Gee Mr. Edgeworth, the weathermen said that the temperatures are about to be below freezing over here!" Raymond called to him. "How's about we stop at this bar for a while, grab ourselves some drinks?" Gregory sighed, seeing Raymond in his late-teens was not a good sign for him to drink a cup of alcohol.

"Now Raymond, you're far too young to drink alcohol at your age." Gregory said casually like usual. "You should consider drinking water or tea, instead. It'll certainly keep you warm by the time we get back to the office."

Raymond sighed and shrugged both of his arms in disappointment. "Aw, you always never let me do stuff like what others tend to do these days." Both Gregory and Raymond walked into the bar, Gregory began to think about what Raymonds dreams were, as a matter of fact. "For an assistant of mine, you should grow older if you want to drink like me, Ray."

Gregory and Raymond head towards the bar table and sat down on the stools. The whole place was looked more like an old-fashioned bar from New York, if not for a thirteen-year-old that sat alongside a twelve-year-old. After Gregory and Raymond took their orders, they went towards the two to tell them that they're far too young to be in a bar like this.

"Those two are WAY too young to be in a place like this." Gregory thought.

"Excuse me, you two. But aren't you two young to hang around in a local bar?" Gregory said to them in a clear voice. "The age states that you need to be at least eighteen or older to be in here, you know?" The young couple looked at Gregory and one of them smiled. The one on the right was a boy that had a brown-yellow shirt with red pants and brown shoes, had brown straight hair, and brown eyes. The other was a girl wearing a white dress, white slippers, brown eyes, and had short brown hair with small pigtails on both sides.

"Aw, that's alright." The boy said, he had a pleasant, but a booming voice that was heard out of him. "The bar owner said that my voice had song into it, so I was hired to entertain the people at this joint alongside my girlfriend Thalassa. Anyways, the names Jove! Jove Justice! But you can just call me JJ if that's what you like. It's nice to meet you, mister..."

Gregory took off his hat and bowed politely. "Gregory. Gregory Edgeworth. I am a defense attorney at Edgeworth Law Offices, Mr. Justice." Jove was eyes widened as he realized that he was speaking to a defense attorney. Gregory then put his hat back.

"A defense attorney, sweet! I've been hearing about that career for my whole musician life, man!" Jove said in amazement. "Hey, I've come up with this song that I inspired from Jeffrey Master's famous show, Piece of Cake!"

Raymond went up to the three in curiosity, he was writing and eating paper as he continued to talk with Jove. "Whoa, Piece of Cake?" Raymond's eyes brightened up in joy. "Say, isn't that my favorite show where Jeffrey Master makes desserts throughout the song he makes!?"

"Yes, indeed. It's my boyfriend's favorite show, after all." Thalassa giggled, Jove blushed harder.

"These two really love to hang out with each other, now that I think of it..." Gregory thought, he then spoke up. "Mr. Justice, how do you come up with such talent over the music industry?"

"Well... I usually travel nomadically with my wife alongside my guitar 'Betsey'." Jove said as he placed a finger on his forehead as he thought, he looked up and spoke in a normal manner. "I usual go to places around the world to entertain the nobles and that's what's keeps me from continuing my career as a musician."

"Ah, I see." Gregory said, he then thinks to himself. "Now that he mentions it, he IS named after the god of sky and thunder that keeps his voice booming."

"I see how you two love to hang around with each other..." Raymond noticed Thalassa giggled, even more, she spoke up. "Of course, I left a group known as the Troupe Gramarye in order see him more." She said, her voice getting higher. "Oh, he is SO handsome, I could just scream!"

"Honey, calm down." Jove calmed her, he looked back at Gregory. "Mister Edgeworth, since you and your partner are so curious about out musical talent, how's about you stop by at the local bar someday and see me perform?"

"I'd be honored to come over soon, Mr. Justice." Gregory took off his hat in agreement and placed it back on, he noticed the snow storm was beginning to die down. "Ah, it looks to me like the storms about to settle down, I'm afraid. Mr. Justice, please take my card if you're in serious need of legal help." Jove nodded, he picked up Gregory's card and placed it into his pocket.

"Take care, you two! Ha Ha!" Jove laughed as he got a kiss on the cheek from his girlfriend Thalassa. Raymond couldn't stand looking at that cute couple as he walked outside the bar with Gregory Edgeworth.

"Say, Gregory! I really, really, really can't wait to see more of those two someday!" Raymond smiled, with his brightening in joy.

Gregory looked back at him with a smile. "Indeed, Raymond. I'll promise you that you'll see those two smooching with each other, someday..." The two walked onto the sidewalk back to Edgeworth Law Offices in peace, hoping to see Jove and his beautiful girlfriend Thalassa soon.
