"Victoria!" Edgeworth yelled, anxiously throwing things about the room.
"Yes, Miles?" she answered. Her hair was tied back into a bun, however, her bangs hung loose in front of her eyes. She wore a silky suit with a maroon-magenta-like collar. The look seemed vaguely familiar.
"Have you seen my coat?" He said, knowing his first case was soon to come.
"Yes I have, Miles" she said, smiling. As she walked into the light, details in her outfit became apparent. Her collar was gold rimmed and she had random bits of blue throughout her outfit. Under her neck, of course, was the infamous "frilly" accessory.
She handed him his coat, which mirrored her outfit (to an extent), as well as his metal briefcase. "Are you ready?"
"More now than I'll ever be". She placed her arm around his waist and smiled. "I can't wait to see you there. You're going to be amazing!"
"You won't be disappointed, Vicky," he said with a smile. With his arm wrapped around her shoulder, they walked from the parking lot up to the courthouse lobby. This was where they would part ways. At least, for now. It was Edgeworth's first case. This was HIS big day. He gave her a kiss on her forehead and began to walk away. "Watch closely, Victoria. You have much to learn". He gave her a confident smirk, the last before trial. "After all...you're only 15."

"Edgeworth..." Victoria stayed silent. Everyone was shocked. Nobody in the room, despite all the newcomers, could have expected such an end to trial. She hugged him tightly, trying to comfort him as best as she could. However, it was no use. He was in no mood for comfort.
"I...I don't believe what I've seen. Have my eyes...deceived me?" He stood there, looking at the floor. "Victoria...I don't want you in this profession any longer. You...your innocent eyes can not witness such a-"
"EDGEWORTH! Have you lost it!" She glared at him, angry at what he was about to mutter. "Since I took my first breathe, daddy always told me I was going to be a lawyer! He knew-"
"DON'T BRING UP OUR FATHER..." Victoria stayed quiet. She should have known better than to bring up that incident. After all, she wasn't present when her father was killed that day in the courtroom. She could have no perception of what Edgeworth has gone through that day. She was only four. Her father felt she was too young to be in the courtroom. Perhaps THAT was the real reason Edgeworth was so nervous that day. He didn't have his little sister by his side.
"I'm sorry, Miles..." There was a pause. Edgeworth sighed and hugged her back, ever so lightly.
"I apologize as well. Let's just not talk about it, ok?" He shook his head, walking by himself to his car. Victoria already knew to leave him be. She'd take the stairs and enjoy the journey.
While on her pensive and lonesome walk, she crossed paths with defense attorney, Mia Fey. Impressed with her talents, she walked up to her and introduced herself. "Hello! My name is Victoria Wellington. I loved you're performance, I really did! It was just...wow! I must say, you didn't quite utilize the use of 'ergo' quite as much as I've seen other lawyers, but it was no matter. "
"How old are you?" she asked. How could someone so small seem to know just as much as she did?
"Me? Oh, I'm 15!" "Really, now? Well, are you an aspiring defense attorney?" Although Mia would normally love to talk to someone who shared her dream of helping those in need...today was just not her day. "Indeed, I am! My father was one, 'ergo', I want to follow in his footsteps!" Her eyes lit up with joy. She loved her brother and all, but she hated the fact that he was a prosecutor. That made NO sense to her. After all, Gregory Edgeworth was, in fact, a defense attorney...
"Ah. Well, best of luck to you Miss.Wellington. As for me...I think my career as a lawyer is just over..." Mia picked up her things and left abruptly. This, perhaps, was not the profession for her. As she left, Victoria watched her. There was just something special about this woman. "Mia Fey, huh?" She laughed. "I'll be looking out for your next case. I can't wait to be taught by the great Mia Fey. What a wonderful defense attorney I shall make!" It was then she remembered Edgeworth. "Ack! He's going to kill me!" Despite her "lawyer-esque" outfit, she managed to run quickly to the parking lot. Her brother was not going to be thrilled she was late. Not at all...
