Review reply to vinelgregory. Thank you for reviewing and for being my first reviewer! I am so glad that you are enjoying the story!
Here is chapter 2 everyone. Enjoy!
I wonder how Sebastian is doing today.
He seemed to be doing better after I talked to him last night, but he's still going to need some guidance, but he has a lot of potential.
I think he really could become one of the best prosecutors like he desires if he continues to stay on the right path.
Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth thought to himself, thinking about the young prosecutor that he had taken under his wing, after almost suffereing from an emotional meltdown two weeks ago.
Sebastian Debeste was not on the top of Miles Edgeworth's friend list when they had first met, but over time through a series of unforunate events, Edgeworth had come to the knowledge of the curcumstances that surrounded the life of the young prosecutor, Edgeworth reached out to him, and was glad that Sebastian that was willing to accept his help and guidance.
"Good afternoon Mr Edgeworth." Kay Faraday said, after entering Miles Edgeworth's office.
"Good afternoon, Kay." Edgeworth said pulling a folder out of his desk.
"You seem a little distracted." Kay said, noticing that Edgeworth had looked deep in thought.
"I was just thinking about Sebastian." Edgeworth replied.
"How is Sebastian doing?" He seemed to be doing better during and after that trial from what you have been saying." Kay said, hoping that Sebastian was doing better on his path in life, then what he had been two weeks ago.
"Sebastian is doing better emotionally and mentally, but he's still struggling with some of his past memories and and mistakes." Edgeworth told Kay, who was wondering what she could do to help Sebastian along.
"He does have some tragic memories recall, certainly not the kind of memories I would want to have." Kay said sympathetically.
"He's heading in the right direction, it's just going to take him a little while to gain his ground." Edgeworth said, right before his phone rang.
"Speaking of Sebastian, that's him." Edgeworth said, answereing the phone.
"Hello Sebastian." Edgeworth answered.
"Hello Mr Edgeworth.. thanks again for talking to me last night." Sebastian said.
"Your welcome." I am glad that I was able to help." Edgeworth said.
"You were a great help, and I woke up this morning feeling refreshed, and ready to start over." Sebastian said.
"There is an empty office next to mine that has a work desk and an office chair that if yours if you are ready." Edgeworth said.
"Thank you Mr Edgeworth, I will be looking forward to settling into that office."
"I actually called to let you know I think I am ready to come over and start working, if that would be alright." Sebastian said, which caused a smile to come to the face of Miles Edgeworth.
"Your welcome Sebastian, if you are ready, come on over." Edgeworth said, glad that Sebastian had seemed a lot more sure of himself by coming to the decision of coming in and accepting his office on his own.
"I'll be right over then, see you in a little while." Sebastian said.
"See you then. I will be waiting for in my office." Edgeworth said hanging up his phone.
"So he's coming over to see his new office?" Kay asked, after Edgeworth had set the phone back on his desk.
"Yes Kay, he is, and when he comes over, I want you to do something for me." Edgeworth said, reading the paper that was inside the folder, that he pulled out of his desk drawer before Sebastian's call.
"Sure Mr Edgeworth, what do you want me do?" Kay asked, ready to be of any help.
"When we were talking about Sebastian before he called, you had the I wish I could help him like you, look." Edgeworth said.
"I would like to help him if I can." Kay said.
"Good, because thats exactly what I want you to do." Edgeworth said, putting the paper back in the folder.
"What can I do to help?" Kay asked, wondering what she could do.
"When Sebastian arrives I want you to be a friend to him, he is really trying hard to start a new life so he needs someone to help him forget about his past failures, fears and regrets so be an encouragement to him." Edgeworth told Kay.
"No problem Mr Edgeworth, "I'll be the best friend and encourgement he ever had, other then you of course." Kay said smiling.
Knock Knock Knock.
"That must be Sebastian." Kay said, as Edgeworth got up to opened the door, but to he and Kay's surprsie the piece of hair that stuck up on the top of his head was gone and instead of the blue Themis Legal Academy uniform he usualy wore, he was wearing his usual red jacket but with a darker blue shirt with matching pants, and a black tie.
He looks so much more refined and professional in that outfit. Edgeworth thought, not quite sure what to say about the outfit, even though he thought it gave the younger prosecutor who he was used seeing in his academy uniform, a much more refined apprearance.
"Good afternoon Sebastian." "I have been waiting for you." Edgeworth said greeting Sebastian at the door.
"Good afternoon Mr Edgeworth, thank you." Sebastian said, walking through Edgeworth's office door.
"I wasn't expecting to see you in a new outfit Sebastian, but it gives you a very refined and professional appearance." Edgeworth said, finally finding words to say about the new outfit.
"I think it looks great!" Kay told Sebastian, after he had completely entered the office.
"Thank you both. I was hoping I wasn't the only who thought it looked good." Sebastian said, glad that Edgeworth and Kay had liked the outfit as much as he did.
"Here Sebastian, you are going to need these to get into your new office." Edgeworth said, handing the younger prosecutor, the keys to his office.
"Thank you Mr Edgeworth." Sebastian said, while accepting the keys. "Can I go look at it now?"
"It's your office, you can go in whenever you want."
Edgeworth replied, which brought a smile on Sebastian's face.
"I'm going to go look at it now!" Sebastian said, leaving his mentors office to head to his own.
"He sure looked happy." Kay said with a smile, after Sebastian had left.
"Yes he did, he's going to make a great prosecutor one of these days." Edgeworth said, reflecting upon the improvements that he had seen in Sebastian's life already.
"I think you are right Mr Edgeworth, with you teaching him, he really could become one of the best of prosecutors like he wants to be."
Wow this office looks great!
There's plenty of storage in here for evidence, case files and documents. Sebastian thought, opening the safe and the desk drawers. And this desk has an awesome finish on it.
Sebastian continued in thought, running his hand over the smoothness of the finished cherry wood on the work desk. "I'm going to really like it here." Sebastian said to himself, before heading back into Edgeworth's office.
"Hey Sebastian." Kay said, opening the door to let Sebastian in since Edgeworth was on the phone.
"Kay wasn't it?" Sebastian asked, hoping he had gotten the name right to the younger lady that had appeared to be his mentors assistant.
"Yes that's right." Kay said before asking. "Do you like your new office?" Hoping that would be a good way to start a conversation with him.
"I like it a lot.. it looks awesome." Sebastian replied, really satisified with his new office.
"That's great!" Kay said, trying to figure out what to say next.
"You're Mr Edgeworth's assistant, right?" Sebastian asked.
"I usually act as his assistant for now, until I start at Themis Legal Academy this fall, to take the prosecutor course." Kay said, with a smile thinking about her future career in law.
"The prosecutors courses at Themis are the best, you should do really well there." Sebastian told Kay.
"I hope so, I heard it was a great school so I'm looking forward to attending it." Kay replied.
They don't even realize I hung up the phone. They are getting along better then I had hoped. Edgeworth thought to himself.
"Mr Edgeworth, how long have you been off the phone?" Kay asked just noticing Edgeworth's silence.
"Since you told Sebastian, you were going to be attending Themis in the fall." Edgeworth replied.
"Wow I'm going to school this fall to be a prosecutor and I didn't notice something as obvious as you hanging up your phone." Kay said.
"Don't feel bad since I didn't notice either, and I already have my degree as a prosecutor." Sebastian added.
"Oh well, I guess the observational skills of even the best of us, can fail sometimes." Kay said, earning herself a glare from Edgeworth, who was hoping that Sebastian hadn't taken offense to the statement.
"I'm sorry if you took offense to that Sebastian." "I wasn't trying to sound offensive towards you." Kay said, hoping that she hadn't hurt his feelings.
"I didn't think you were trying to be offensive towards me, so apology accepted." Sebastian said.
If he could accept her apology and not take offense over something that could have been taken as offensive, he must be ready to start working on some easier cases at least. I might run this case by him and see what he says, and if Sebastain is ready to start a new beginning but not quite ready to take a case on his own yet, assisting me on this investigation and trial, would be a great way to help him prepare for cases on his own in the future. Edgeworth thought, looking back at the folder that he had been on his desk.
"What's in the folder, Mr Edgeworth?" Sebastian asked, curious to find out what was in the folder that had been on Edgeworth's desk both times he had been in the office.
"It is a case file for a murder that occured at the Bowling Over, bowling alley last night." Edgeworth answered, looking up at Sebastian who had a look of interest on his face.
"That sounds like it could turn into an interesting case." Sebastian said. "Why would someone commit a murder at such a fun place like a bowling alley?" Kay asked, also curious about the case now.
"I and the police believe that the younger brother killed the older brother to have complete control over the bowling alley." Edgeworth said, setting down the folder, to pick up his organizer.
"Mr Edgeworth, if you don't mind.. could I assist you on the case?" Sebastian asked.
"I have no objections to you assisting me, Sebastian." Edgeworth said.
I was honestly hoping he would ask, not only will I be able to train him a little more but it will be a great chance for him to help sharpen his skills and continue to boost his confidence as a prosecutor as well. Edgeworth thought.
"Can I come too, Mr Edgeworth?" Kay asked, hoping Edgeworth and Sebastian would mind if she tagged along.
"I don't mind if she comes along." Sebastian said.
"Yes Kay, you may come with us." Edgeworth said, while thinking. This could be an interesting investigation.
"Yay, let's go Sebastian!" Kay said, running to the door.
She must really like investigating or maybe she likes bowling. Sebastian thought, following Edgeworth and Kay out of the office to start their investigation together.
Author Note
And that concludes chapter 2 of the story. So now Sebastian has not only a new beginning, but a new office and a new friend as well, things are starting to look brighter for him now! Chapter 3 will contain an investigation, which will lead to Sebastian's first courtroom trial after the 1 we see in Ace Attorney Investigations 2. Just for fun, does anyone have a guess at who the defense attorney, for Sebastian and Edgeworth's trial is going to be? Hint. This story takes place 2 weeks after the events of AAI2, so the defense attorney is going to be someone that will fit into that timeline of Ace Attorney.
