Okay, first off, I'd like to apologise. I wasn't specific enough. When I started here, I was on an uploading spree, as you'd expect. Now that I have settled in, my stories are going to be less frequent. Maybe one every 3 days or so? Possibly more, possibly less. I don't know. Just don't expect new chapters every day.
Secondly,(Am I boring you?) I got my first request! YAY! Thank you to the person who PM'ed me, XD. So, for that person, I have written another short story. See how you like: Pearly x Apollo.

Apollo sat in the corner of the lobby. Athena and Phoenix were out getting ready. somewhere, although he had no idea where. All the courtrooms were shut for the night, and the janitor was about to close up the place. He stared at the little locket in his hand. It was the one Clay gave him when he was little. Sighing, he stood up out of his chair and walked over to the door.
All of a sudden, he heard something in the corner of the room. Spinning round, he caught sight of a hand in the darkness. Then, he heard the door close. "HEY! Come back here!" he yelled at the person, but no one came. He ran out through the door. As he ran down the hall, he heard sobs of a woman inside the defense lobby. Thoughts rushed into his mind, alerting him of possible danger in that room. Nevertheless, he threw open the handle and charged in.
There was no danger. The room was empty, except for the girl sitting in the corner. She was staring at him, her eyes red an swollen from the tears. Her interesting hairstyle bobbed up and down on her head when she spoke.
"Wh-what are you doing here?" he asked the girl. She turned away and began to sob again. Apollo kicked himself and went over to her. He sat down on the chair next to her and put his arm around her. "Hey, hey, hey, what's up, Pearl?" he asked. Pearl shook her head slowly.
"I've been terrible." she said quietly between sobs.
"How?" he asked.
"I was eavesdropping. That's a crime, isn't it?" she exclaimed.
"Not in my book. Is that why you were in the lobby, were you eavesdropping on me?" he said, calmly. Pearl sniffed and nodded again. "Hey, it's okay. I don't mind. I won't tell anyone." he said, soothingly. Pearl noticed that his arm was squeezing her tighter.
"Really? Oh, thank you, Mr Justice." she said, and her tears began to dry off. "Call me Apollo." he said. Pearl rested her head on his shoulder, and giggled as she saw the red enter his cheeks.
"We're having a party at the office. Do you, um, want to come?" he asked. She smiled and nodded.
"It's a nice night." said Pearl, walking next to Apollo. They were walking through People Park, staring at the stars above. Naturally, Apollo had walked into a lampost two or three times. Pearl had giggled a lot.
"Yeah, I haven't seen such a display. There- OOF!" he said, as he walked into the lampost again. Pearly ran over and pulled him up by the hand. He thanked her, and they decided to walk on. Pearl realised she was feeling warmer and safer with Apollo. Then, they both realised they were still holding hands. Both didn't let go. They pretended they hadn't noticed, and they both were happy.
As they arrived at the office, they noticed they stares from Trucy and Athena. Apollo and Pearl looked down and saw that they were still interlocked. Apollo let go of her hand, and Pearl smiled at him. Trucy giggled in the corner and walked through to the kitchen. A minute later, Mr Wright walked in, smiling that wickedly suspicious smile of his. He said at Apollo and Pearl, who were sat down next to each other on the sofa, Pearl's head on his shoulder. "You two getting cosy together?" he said, and laughed. Pearl laughed as well.
"Mr Justice helped me when I was upset." she said happily. Mr Wright nodded and turned towards Athena, who ran into the kitchen to begin preparations.
Mr Edgeworth, Simon Blackquill and Juniper Woods all arrived soon afterwards, and the party went well. AThena, Pearl, Trucy and Juniper were all talking in one corner. Apollo noticed that Athena and Trucy kept glancing at him, a glint of mischief in their eyes.
While the girls chatted, Apollo held a drink in his hand and was chatting to Mr Edgeworth, who told him his wife couldn't be there, as she was dealing with a case at the office. He smiled and pushed his glasses up his nose. "You would like her." he said, and took a sip of wine.
The night went well, the party continued until eleven o clock. Athena went home, as did Simon and Juniper. Edgeworth was going to stay the night at the Wright's house, as his was out of the city. Apollo volunteered to take Pearl to the station. "Good idea." Mr Wright had said. "You two need some time together." And then, he had winked.
As they got to the station, Pearl stopped and sighed. "What's wrong?" said Apollo.
"The trains gone." she said, and looked miserable.
"Oh." said Apollo, and thought. Then, he had an idea. "Do you want to, um, stay at my apartment?" he said, hopefully. Pearl turned and stared at him. Then, she nodded and smiled. "Thank you, Mr Justice." she said, and they set off to his home.
The next morning, Apollo walked downstairs to find Pearl holding a frying pan, with spitting oil in it.
"Oh, good morning, Mr Justice. I made you some breakfast. Do you like bacon?" she said, gesturing towards the plate. Apollo nodded and watched as she dished out two plates full of bacon.
"Oh, god, this is delicious!" said Apollo. Pearl blushed and cut up a bit of her own bacon. "Where did you learn to make that bacon?"
Oh, my mum told me how when she was alive." she exclaimed. Apollo speared another piece and began to eat.
"Hey, um, Pearls?" he exclaimed nervously. "Would you like to stay a bit longer? You know, a few days, or something?" APollo saw the joy enter her face.
"Yes. Yes, I'll stay for a bit. Thank you." she said. SHe kissed him on the cheek and giggled as red entered his cheeks again.
