Town Hall-Prosecutors Ball-Parking Lot
March 21 7:00 PM
Edgeworth pulled into the Town Hall parking lot, parking in his reserved looked around and saw some faces we had never gone up against, while at the same time seeing familer foes in Franziska who was wearing Black and Red Dress, with her whip at her side, and also saw Godot(Wasn't he arrested?) Sporting his usual attire along with a coffee mug in his right hand. While Phoenixs body was nervous, but overjoyed to be with Edgeworth, his mind was having a panic attack
"(Ok officially worst day of my life, first i turn into a girl, then Edgeworth asks me on a date, i go on said date, i lose control of my now female body, i held hands with Edgeworth, and now all of my former enemy's are here...great...)"
Edgeworth exited the car and Phoenix to wait while he walks around and open the door for her. While he was walking around to open her door, he was interupted by a familer whipping sound next to him.
"Well well, if it isn't my little brother Miles Edgeworth. I'm suprised you would show up considering your always busy now." Franziska gave her trademark smirk before putting her hand back on the hilt of her whip.
"Franziska Von Karma, i could say the same to you i figured you never would show up to a American Traditional Party. But to answer your question i simply came because i wanted to take my date to a place i know she can socialize and enjoy herself." Edgeworth mentioning his date caught Franziska's attention "Hm? A date? Has my little brother finally realized he needs others to help him in life? So who is your date Miles Edgeworth?" Edgeworth just smirked as he walked around to the other side of his car.
Edgeworth opened his passengers door, he helped Phoenix out making sure she didn't get caught up in her dress. When Phoenix stepped out of the car, Franziska grabbed her whip and began squeezing it, standing before her was a woman that could be consider a queen because of her beauty. Franziska wanted to whip her until no tommorow, as she couldn't be shown up by some unkown person, but she knew doing so could cause her to lose her prosacutors badge. Edgeworth just laughed before introducing Phoenix
"Franziska, let me introduce you to Perry Wright, a rookie defense attorney, and my date this evening." Edgeworth continued smirking as Franziska continued gripping her whip. "Now if your excuse us Franziska, i believe theirs a ball going on." Edgeworth instanely put his left arm around Phoenix and grabbed her hand with his right causing Phoenix to naturally blush, before walking away.
"(That foolish fool who does foolish things because of foolish people, how dare he bring a foolish Defense Attorney to a prosacutors ball...wait a minute...did that fool say her last name was Wright? She can't possiably be connected to that foolish fool of a defense attorney, who somehows always makes his way into my foolish thoughts!?)"
Edgeworth walked up the stairs of Town hall, still holding Phoenix the same way as when they left Franziska. He earned a few stares and whispers from the others, mostly wondering whos his date was.
"I'm sorry about the way i'm currently holding you Perry...i just have to keep a formal public look so..." Edgeworth was cut off by Phoenix giggaling "It's ok Miles, you didn't hear me yell objection did you?(If you could read minds you did...!)" Phoenix then snuggled her head onto Edgeworths chest as they walked causing the prosacutor to turn a scarlet red, matching his suit.
Town Hall-Prosecutors Ball-Ball Room
March 21 7:30 PM
Edgeworth led Phoenix into the ballroom, their were many prosacutors their talking already. While many Prosacutors went in pairs they weren't so much as dates as they were just good friends hanging out. Edgeworth was able to lead Phoenix over to the Beverage table without any interuptions
"Well Perry, can i offer you some punch?" Edgeworth smiled at Phoenix causing her to naturally Blush, "U-um sure Miles, i would love some(I do enjoy punch, though i think the world is about to explode cause Edgeworth just offered me punch...the same guy he got mad at for those...pictures...can't Edgeworth realize those weren't mine? Also a fetish? It was just a pony Edgeworth...) Edgeworth poured him and Phoenix some of the punch and began to drink when they were interrupted.
"Mr Edgeworth sir!" Out of nowhere Detective Dick Gumshoe popped up behind Edgeworth causing him to jump which made a small laugh escape from Phoenix. Gumshoe had his always loveable grin...until he noticed Phoenix.
"Oh! Um...Hello Ma'm, my name is Dick Gumshoe, I'm a detective down at the police station." Gumshoe for the firs time, Edgeworth had ever seen actually stood up straight and kept a serious and respectful look on his face. "Uh...Detective,this is Perry Wright...she is my um...date..." Edgeworth grabbed his left arm and looked off to the side in embarrassment, it took a minute but Gumshoe started laughing "Haha, oh sir i didn't know you had it in you sir! She sure is a pretty one!" Gumshoe kept laughing while Edgeworth started to shrink down to the ground while Phoenix laughed, though she also was blushing.
It took a few minutes, but Edgeworth eventually composed himself "Ahem, Detective why exactly are you here?" Gumshoe kept his goofy expression "Oh you see sir, they hired me as Co-leader of the security team, i have undercover men all around us sir!"
Edgeworth was confused why they hired Gumshoe of all people to help lead security, "I see...wait you said Co-Leader...who is the leader of the security team?"
Gumshoe goofy expression changed into a ashamed kinda look "I'm sorry sir, i tried...i really did..." Edgeworth raised a eyebrow and began to answer but Gumshoe continued
"I tried to stop them from hiring HER sir." Edgeworth thought what Gumshoe meant, but slowly a horrible truth began to form in his head "Wait you don't mean...!" Edgeworth expression changed to shock and frightfulness
"Yeah sir...they hired Wendy Oldbag as the leader of the security team."
Edgeworth wanted to fall down and cry right their, this night which had been perfect so far was about to be ruined by the one person who Edgeworth couldn't stand, Edgeworth was standing shocked until he felt hands go around his waist and heard Phoenix speak up.
"I don't like the sound of this Wendy girl,she better not flirt with Miles here. He already has a date!(Oldbag for the first time in my life, please show up!)" Edgeworth got a scarlet red again but a smile formed on his face, hearing those words seemed to have melted all his worries away.
"Detective, do you know where she is currently located?" Gumshoe got to thinking before answering "Well sir, shes in charge of the security in the upper chambers so she would be located up their, occasionally making rounds down here."
Edgeworth pondered for a minute before speaking "Detective I'll raise your salary if you make sure she doesn't come down here for whatever reason!" Gumshoe then had a gleam in his eye before answering "Yes sir Mr Edgeworth sir!" With that Gumshoe ran off barking orders to the undercover security.
Edgeworth laughed before turning around and embracing Phoenix, he smiled as he looked into her eyes "Um Perry, I promise is just a old woman who um...likes my prosecuting!(Nice save Edgeworth, Nice save)"
"Don't worry Miles, I'll be sure to protect you from her(Yeah, sure...)" Phoenix layed her head onto Edgeworths chest earning another blush from him.
The two stayed embraced for about five minutes before the sound of Jazz music seemed to radiate the room
"Well well, if it isn't Prosecutor Edgeworth and his date." standing behind the two was none other than the coffee lover Godot himself.
Edgeworth turned around while Phoenix walked to his side "Prosecutor Godot? I thought you were arrested for the murder of Misty Fey?" Godot laughed before answering Edgeworth
"Due to the...circumstances, I was given 5 years probation and was also allowed to continue my prosecuting...I have other matters to attend to but...I have something to say to the young lady here."
Edgeworth raised his eyebrow before crossing his arms "And what might that be ?" Godot just laughed "Darker than a moonless night, hotter and more bitter than Hell itself...that is Coffee...That also applies to a mans heart...remember that." Godot smiled before returning to the crowd leaving a confused Edgeworth and Phoenix.
2 Hours later
The rest of the ball went good, Phoenix always stayed by Edgeworth the entire time as she didn't have anyone else to talk to while he talked to the others but also made plenty of time for her. Finally the last song of the night was put on, a slow song for couples. Edgeoworth extended his hand to Phoenix who accepted it as the two stepped out onto the crowded dance floor.
The two swayed back in forth locked in each others embrace, their eyes locked no words needed to be said. As the song got to it's closing moments, still eyes locked they began to close the gap, their eyes shutting their lips just about to touch, Phoenixs mind screaming Objection and...
AHHHHHHHHHHHH
A scream echoed throughout the entire room, causing the music to stop and break Edgeowrths and Phoenix trance. Everyone was silent until a voice spoke up. "Police Chief Gordan...hes dead!" The place went into a uproar as the security team ran to the scene of the crime and the prosecutors began getting ready for a investigation.
Edgeworth looked around while Phoenix held onto him, finally he saw Gumshoe and ran to him "Detective, I must look into this please drive Perry back to the Wright & Co. Law Offices! She can't stay here while a potential murderer is here!"
Gumshoe saluted and took Phoenix with him, she gave Edgeworth one final hug which he returned and went with Gumshoe. The drive to the office was quiet not a single word was spoken. Phoenix thanks Gumshoe when he got out and went into his office. Maya was already asleep on the couch so she just went to her room and layed down trying to think about what just happened. "(Ok First i wake up as a girl, then i go on a date with Edgeworth...and then the Police Commisioner was killed...right)" Phoenix closed her eyes, hoping this was just a terrible dream.
