It's already been two month since Vera's case. I still can't believe this entire thing was really happened - even though I have encountered many crazy things in my life and my career as an attorney at law.
After my badge was confiscated, I was trying to investigate about that girl, who gave me that piece of diary. Some of evidences I have found was indicating that Kristoph was the culprit, but I just can't accept that since he's the one who always support me after that incident.
Well, I have to thanks him though, because if he didn't give me the diary and if my badge wasn't confiscated, my little Trucy wouldn't be here now. After all, she's my most precious treasure.
Back to the case again, after Apollo win the case, the judge was declared that I was innocent and I was allowed to take the bar exam once more. But until now, here I am, lock myself up, still can't make up my mind.

It's Saturday morning now. Since Vera's case, Apollo didn't have any new case and he looked so bored. I was smiling at him upon seeing his face. It was really remind me of my younger self. I sat down beside him. "What's wrong? You looked so stressful. Getting fed up because there was no case around?" I ask him
"Well, no, not really I just wondering about something" he said. "And what would that be?" "I just wondered, you are such a great lawyer, everybody knew that, and you was already declared innocent from that case, so you can take the bar exam once more and I believe you would have passed so easily. So, why don't you take the exam already?"
I'm not sure how to answer that, it's just that I have this doubt in my heart and it's make me irritated when someone ask me about that. Nobody ever have felt how it was, and yet, they asking that question without considering my feeling. "Well Apollo, like everyone say, some things are better left unsaid." I said while smirking at him.
"But, don't you..." "I already said it and you should know that I'm not really pleased when someone tried to disturb me about some of my private matters. Especially about my past. It's annoying,! You don't even know what it feels like to begin with! Oh, but I think you wouldn't ever understand! After all…" I stopped when I saw his faces.
He looked so shocked. I think it's because I shouted at him suddenly. I know it's my fault, but I can't help it, and that makes me feel so guilty. Gumshoe and Maggey also ask me the same question last week when Gumshoe visit my office, who apparently know about how I was declared not guilty for THAT case, and I gave them the very same answer. They were also very shocked when hearing my answer
"Ah, you're right Mr. Wright, I'm sorry for asking such a question. Sorry, but I want to go out for some fresh air. Excuse me." he said as he walks out. Trucy, who heard my voices when I shouting at Apollo come out from her room.
"What's wrong Daddy? Where's Polly? Why do you shouting like that?" she asked me. Her face tells me that she was worried about what happened earlier. "Nothing sweetie. I just was getting swayed up a little. By the way, Apollo said he want to take a walk. Why didn't you go out with him?" "Ah, okay, but are you really all right?" she ask. "Yeah, never better." I don't want to make her worried about me.
I was walking to my room when I hear Trucy calling me from below. "Daddy, you have some guests." I was wondering who it was when the door opened and someone I'm not expecting. It was my old friends or maybe I should call some of them people from my past. There was Miles Edgeworth, Maya and Pearls, Franzizka von Karma, and Diego.
It's been some time since I last met them. Well, except Maya and Pearls since I still routinely visit them in Kurain Village. "Oh Nick! It's been such a long time since we last met!" she said as she charging toward me and hop to hug my arm.
"Don't exaggerating Maya! It's only three months ago since I visit you last time." I said while tried to break off from Maya's clutches. "Ah, is that so? Well, three months was feeling long for me."
"Well, for our case, we can say it's been a long time, right Mr. Trite?" a voice that I haven't heard for a while makes me feel so nostalgic. "Yeah, you're right Mr. Diego…" "So, Wright how are you doing?" Miles asked while smiling at me.
"Well just same as always. What have I been doing I wonder, so the most famous prosecutor and the Kurain Master pay me a visit?" I really regretting the fact I ask that question after Franzizka give me a pat in the head-with her whip of course.
"Don't you ever know some manner? We were nicely enough to visit you, why don't you show us some gratitude?" "That's enough Franz, couldn't you at least being nice toward your old friend?" Maya said.
"She's right Franzizka. You could be at least a little nice toward him after not see him for a while." Always like the same huh? Miles always can take control over his little sister. "So, back to the first question, why all of you come here?" I asked them. "We just want to visit you, and we were worried because you don't visit Kurain recently. Mr. Edgeworth yesterday calls us and asks if I and Mystic Maya want to visit you Mr. Nick. Are we bothering you?" she asked while bite her thumb which indicates that she was worried of some reason and was feeling uneasy. "No, no, of course not, Pearls. I'm just surprised all of you came here just to see me."
We were spending our time talking about what all of us has been doing in these past 7 years. It's so surprising to see how much everyone has change. Maya has become a much wiser person than she was used to be. As for Pearls, she was turning into some quite fine lady there. Miles tell us that 2 years ago, he already married with Franzizka-this news was really new to all of us and it need some time before all of us can really believe it. Maya was asking getting whipped away by Franz which makes me amazed that Maya didn't fainted. I guess the special course at Hazakura Temple really paid off, huh? Mr. Diego was able to treat his eyes, thanks to the advanced medical, and he still retain his perfect score as a prosecutor. He was only get some year in-jail experience.
Everyone started to walk away from their past and start to become a better person. To tell you the truth, I'm a little envious of them. It seems I was the only one who still can't overcome my past. When I saw Pearls, she seems to wanted to ask something, but afraid to ask.
"What's wrong, Pearls? You look like you have something in your mind?" "Well Mr. Nick, I want to ask you something. When Mr. Edgeworth calls us, he said something about congratulating you. Was something happened recently?" I'm starting to have a bad feeling about this.
"Oh, that's right. Wright, I hear you was already declared innocent and you can take the bar exam once more, but I haven't see you in the court. Why? Don't you want to become a defense again?" Miles asked me.
I don't really know how to answer that question. "Oh, come on Miles, don't talk about past now, okay?" "No Wright, you must answer my question first." He seems so persistent, and it makes me starting to lose my temper.
"Why are you being so persistent? It's none of your business in the first place…" "That was a foolishly foolish answer coming from a foolishly foolish fool." It looks like Franz was a little offended. "Listen here, Trite. What matters here aren't this is our business or not, but why do you haven't take the exam." Finally, he said it which makes me no longer can control my cool.
"I have already said it twice and this is the last time I'll said it. If you still insist on talking about that matter, I think it's better if all of you go home right now!" I said without any consciences of what have I said.
Man, I can't believe it! Why they're being so hard-headed? First, Gumshoe, then Apollo, and now, they're the one who ask me the same question. Can't they just leave me alone? "Nick! Why do you shouting like that to us? We just concerned about you!" Maya said with that sad look in her face.
"If you really concerned about me, I think the best thing you could do for me now is just leave me alone…" I just can't think of anything else when I said that. And now I'm really regretting what I just said. "Sorry guys, I think I'm just feeling a little tired. It's already night, why don't you go home now?"
No one from them said anything. "You're right Trite. I almost run out of my coffee. But, you know Trite, even a legend can't go through its trial of life alone." after saying that, Diego and other leave from my office. Before Miles go, he said "I expect you to comeback to court. It shouldn't ASAP, but whenever you're ready, we'll wait for you in the court. Remember, we have high expectations from you"
Then, Trucy comes to the offices. "Um… Daddy? Is everything alright? You look so tired, and I think I heard you shouting again." "No, it's Okay sweetheart." I can see now that she was more worried about me than before.

"Daddy! Daddy!" I know that voice. It's still early, why did she wake me up already? But from her voice, I wonder why she sounded so excited. "Uh what is it Trucy? It's still early for a magic trick don't you think?" She looks like she is expecting something from me, from the looks of her childish smile. "You've got a phone call!"
A call? Who could that be? Could it be from those people again? It's almost two weeks since they came to my office. "Who is it Trucy? If it from Auntie Maya or Miles, just say I'm still sleeping like a snow white." "No, no, no! It's from someone else and I'm sure you would love to talk with her."
Her? Who could it be? "Oh! Just want to make sure you remember you should find a mother for me you know!" What is she talking about? Mother? Out of curiosity I get out from my bed and walk to take the call. "Hello, you're talking to Phoenix Wright. Can I help you?" then, the voice answer "Um, Feenie? Is that you?" I recognized that voice and there's only one person in this world who address me like that.
"Uh, yeah. is that you Rissy?" "Yes, Feenie." Err, so is this what Trucy mean when she said I should find a mother for her? "Something matter?" "I just want to ask if you have time tomorrow night? I want to talk to you about something."
Something to talk about? What could it possibly be? "Yep, I'm free tomorrow. Where we'll meet?" She stopped talking for a moment. "Could you come at 20.00? Oh, how if you are the one that decide the meeting place, Feenie." I'm happy that she is still the same Iris I know. "How about the place near the station?" That place is not too far from my office, and she doesn't have to go too far from the station. "All right, then. see you tomorrow Feenie." "Same to you, Rissy."
Well, that is the end of first chapter, please R&R! Flames Allowed. Sorry if it's not too good. It's my first fanfic after all. Heheheheh! I'll submit the 2nd chapter as soon as I can.
