*WHACK*

"HEEHEHEHEHEHEH..... The Lezareno company is mine!"

Courthouse waiting room. August 26, 7:00 AM

"GAAAAAAAAH!!!!" Lloyd was sitting on a bench in the waiting room of the courthouse. He was continuously hitting himself in the forehead with a closed fist.

"Get ahold of yourself Lloyd!" He told himself louder then he meant to, When he looked up the bailiff looked scared. The bailiff was taking small steps away from him just to get some distance.

Lloyd couldn't control his knees, they were shaking and rattling like a car on a bumpy road. He was sweating bullets and the wait was nerve-wracking.

"Wow, I can just tell this is going to be a disaster." said a familiar voice.

Lloyd looked up to find Sheena standing over him with a cup of coffee in one hand and a file in the other. She was wearing her usually light purple skirt that went just above the knees and a very dark purple top that revealed her chest a bit too much for the eye.

Lloyd blushed when he saw the said top and Sheena caught the glance.

"HEY!" She whacked him on top of the head with the file.

"Don't be getting any ideas Lloyd! You need to stay focused, This is your first trial you don't wanna screw it up with sexual fantasies on the mind!" Sheena said bluntly.

Lloyd shook off the blow to his head and blinked up at her. "Sorry Sheena, I'm just nervous is all.. I didn't think the wait would be so long."

"Well you need to start getting your head together. Your client is watching and he doesn't look in good shape." Sheena said then took a sip of her coffee, She looked like she was forcing it down.

Lloyd took a quick peek to the far corner of the room. On another bench a man with long blue hair and a very expensive suit was sitting down with his head hung low. His wrists looked to be handcuffed.

"Sheena, He doesn't look innocent! Look he's in handcuffs!" Lloyd exclaimed with slurred words.

Sheena gave Lloyd a cold stare. "Don't judge him by his looks. He hired me to defend him in court, So it's our job to defend him. He is also a good friend of mine So be Polite."

"If he hired you and you two are friends! Why am I defending him!?" The tone in Lloyds voice was cockier then he intended it to be and Sheena frowned and hit him over the head again with the file.

"Simple Mr. IRVING, You are going to have to eventually take cases and what better then to start you off with a murder trial!" Sheenas said smiling, Her face told Lloyd otherwise she wanted to see him get a little roughed up.

"Besides this will be a good experience for you. No need to worry though I will be there every step of the way to guide you through it." Sheena said patting Lloyd on the head with the file she had constantly hitting Lloyd with earlier.

'Sheenas right, I can't let the appearance get to me, He put his trust in us to defend him and that's what were going to do!'

'By The way, If you can't tell my name is Lloyd Irving and I am an ACE ATTORNEY!.... Well more like a rookie. BUT I am going to be an ace attorney one day! This is actually my first trial and I'm pretty nervous... My client was convicted of murder... Not the best situation to be in for him.'

"Lloyd! Will you please stop monologuing for a moment so you can meet your client." Sheena said with little patience. 'Today is going to be a long day..'

"Hey Mr. Bryant, come over here for a moment." Sheena shouted across the room. The handcuffed man stood up from his bench and slowly made his way across to the two defense lawyers.

'Geeeez, This guy is a GIANT. He could easily be a murderer...'

"Understandable I am the one who murdered my..." Mr. Byrant said sternly, His face hid emotion well but his body language said differently.

'GACK! HE'S IN MY HEAD!!!!'

"Regal! I know you would never murder anyone! Don't go saying you did when you didn't!" Sheena said in protest to the client. 'Even the client doesn't believe we can win... This is going to be a nightmare.'

"..." Was all the response Mr. Bryant gave her, He brought up his cuffed hands and showed them to me and Sheena.

"See these cuffs, They are Punishment for my crime. I swear to never use these hands as tools of death again" Mr. Bryant said his eyes on the cuffs, Lloyd noticed his face this time. It showed great sadness but not regret....

"Regal... You made George put those on you. You are being overdramatic." Sheena plainly stated. Regals face was still stern but the bulge on his neck told him that he just got caught red handed.

"Believe what you want Ms. Fujibayashi, The fact is I did kill my dear Alicia..." His face resembled that of sadness carved in stone. It was almost unbearable to look at him he looked as if he was about to cry.

"Mr. Bryant, If you really did it you wouldn't have hired attorneys to defend you, You would have just let the court decide your defense." Lloyd said trying to ease his clients mind, Though it seemed truly hopeless.

Mr. Bryant looked at Lloyd and gave him a small grin. "Well... I suppose the reason for hiring you is simple. I am the president of the Lezareno company. If I were to simply admit guilty it would send my companies reputation down the drain. I must think of all my employes that would become jobless."

'Wow! The Lezareno company! I buy my underwear from them... So this guy runs the whole company. He must have SOME Money. Still....'

"I don't think that's the only reason..." Lloyd said in reply to Mr. Bryants response.

"Well then, I guess you should do your best then in defending me... I should tell you though... There is witnesses and tons of evidence against me." Mr Bryant said with an all knowing kind of tone, Like he knows exactly how this will turn out.

"Regal that will be enough, Mr. Irving and I will defend you to the best of our abilities, that's that!" Sheena said losing what little patience she already had today.

Mr Bryant seemed like he was about to protest but then he just nodded. "Alright Ms. Fujibayashi, There is no convincing you otherwise. You are the best defense lawyer they say. If you can find anything to prove my innocence I would greatly appreciate it. Now Excuse me..."

With that Mr. Bryant walked off to collect his thoughts for the upcoming trial ahead.

"Geez, I'm sorry Lloyd about him. He has a very strong opinion on justice and how people should be punished for all their sins...." Sheena said with a sigh, She crossed her arms together one hand still holding a file.

'Something doesn't seem right... I can see why Sheena thinks he didn't do it but I need to know more about this case... Evidence and witnesses...'

"Sheena..." Lloyd said standing up looking at his mentor in the eyes.

"I'm still pretty much in the dark about this case... Mind sharing some information" Lloyd asked gently, Sheena blinked then she blushed.

"A-Ah! Sorry Lloyd, It slipped my mind to even explain it to you" She said with a small laugh of embaressment.

Sheena handed Lloyd the Case file. Inside were the Autopsy report and information on the suspect and the victim. It also said the names of the Prosecutor and Judge.

"GAAAAAAAACK!!!" Lloyd screamed dropping the file on the ground and grabbing his head. Sheena was shocked and jumped back away from Lloyd like he was going to blow up.

She immediately regained composure. "Lloyd! What the Hell is wrong with you!"

"D-D-Did... You read who was Prosecuting our client...?" Lloyd replied weakly still recovering from his sudden outburst.

"Uhh, I guess I didn't." Sheena picked up the file and read it silently.... Then she exploded as well.

"Oh no.. Not Him!!" Sheena screamed loudly. "That annoying disgraceful slime of a man! I can't stand him!" Sheena was getting worked up with rage.

"We have to win this Lloyd! That pig would never leave me alone if we lose!" Sheena had grabbed Lloyd by the collar and was shaking him rather violently.

'Great More pressure! Just what I needed, This case just became even more difficult. Like walking in to Hell with no chance of escape.'

"MR. IRVING MS. FUJIBAYASHI! Court will now commence." The Bailiff shouted at the two of them. When he looked over at us he seemed terrified. We both looked like we had just rose from the grave.

'Well... This is it. No turning back now. I just got to keep telling myself I am a Ace Attorney! It should be fine.... Even if I have to face him in court.. The Unbeatable Heartthrob... Wow what a Contradiction, I'm off to a great start! Alright then! It's time to serve up some Justice!'

To Be Countinued.....

Well! What do you guys think? Hopefully pretty good! Anyway.... This my new Story and although I haven't finished Tales Of Costumes I've been stuck in this terrible writers block... I am sorry about that and as soon as I can think of a way to keep the story going I'll start doing that again.

In the Meantime! This a Tales of Symphonia/Phoenix Wright crossover! YAYAAYAYAYAAY! It will be relatively short consisting of about 5 chapters I assume and I might even do a sequel of it. Although it is a Crossover none of the characters from the Ace Attorney series will be in there just tales characters.

Anyway! Please Review, Tell me what I could do better or tell me what you enjoy about it. As always I like to hear form you guys it's a great motivational tool for me.

Thanks and Enjoy!
