Ch.3
Jade: To wear out or become worn by overindulgence. That was the way she felt. Franziska von Karma sat in her office preparing evidence for tomorrow's trial. Her opponent would be Apollo Justice, rookie defense attorney, who was quickly gaining recognition.
The defense attorneys Franziska faced were pathetic, spineless, beings. She had crushed all of them like flies. Even received the silly King of Prosecutors award for it. So what? In the end none of it would mean a damn thing. She won trials only because the defense never challenged her like...that spiky headed lawyer did. She smirked. That had been at least six or seven years ago. Franziska missed the excitement, the thrill, the challenge. Why did he have to leave...?
She hoped this new attorney would in the least part, be interesting.
Apollo and Trucy were in the defendant lobby at 9:45 AM. For a while they had been speaking with their client.
"Don't worry Mr. Jonson, I'll have you off the hook!" said a fired up Apollo.
"I-I know you will." replied the man.
"Polly, your screeching again." Trucy giggled.
"Eh- I am? W-well its not my fault! Its my chords of steel training!" replied Apollo blushing slightly.
A man that bared the appearance of hobo walked into the lobby. He was clad in a hoodie, sweat pants, sandals, and a hat with Papa written on.
"Daddy! What are you doing here?" Trucy questioned.
"I came to have a talk with 'Polly'. "
Apollo winced. "Never call me that again. Please. And what kind of talk?"
"The prosecutor in the case I assume is Franziska von Karma, correct?" asked Phoenix.
"Yes... Do you know her?"
Phoenix smiled slightly. "Yes, we faced off in court a few times."
"So..?"
"I just came to warn you..to watch out and don't get distracted."
"Why do you always speak to me in codes?! What do you mean? " asked a irritated Apollo.
"..You'll understand. I'll you guys later." He left as soon as he entered.
"..What an enigmatic character." sighed Apollo.
"That's Daddy for you!" grinned Trucy.
"Well I guess its time we went in.." said Apollo.
"Court is in session! The prosecution's opening statement?" asked the judge.
Apollo figured out some of what Mr. Wright meant. The woman standing across from him was gorgeous. But that wasn't going to get to Apollo.
"The prosecution's statemen- YEOUCH!" screamed the judge.
Franziska whipped the judge good. "Silence you fool! My statement is this..the defendant can not escape his own guilt!"
Apollo understood completely now. A beautiful, scary woman. Whip included. He gulped.
"Wow she sure is frightening.." said Trucy.
Franziska looked over at the defense. Apollo Justice. Ridiculous hair style, bright color suit, look of determination, even had a teenage sidekick. She knew this was it. This is what she had been waiting for. But she had to test something first...
"Mr. Apollo Justice. I hope you are well prepared."
"H-huh? M-me?" He asked petrified.
"Who else here has such a ridiculous name?"
"H-hey my name is per-OWWW!"
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
"I was speaking." She raised her arm as she cracked her whip. "I do not like foolishly foolish tales, if I hear any from you, you'll taste more of my whip..."
"A-ah! Y-y-yes Ma'am!" Apollo started to sweat bullets.
"Hey, don't let her intimidate you!" said Trucy annoyed.
Yes, he was what she longed for.
After that Franziska took almost all the trials where Apollo was the defense attorney. Today one case had just been closed. Franziska decided she'd better do the paper work now so she would not have to be bothered later. She was on her way to file papers when she was approached..
"Ms. Von Karma."
"Hm? Ah, Justice. What do you want? I don't have all day." she said in a brisk tone.
"You really are something else. How did you figure it out...?"
"It was easy, only a foolish fool could not see it." she remarked with a smirk. Franziska actually won a case against Apollo. For once his client really did commit a crime. "Hmph, you too are something else."
"Can I ask you something?" he asked apprehensively.
"What? Like I said I don't have all day."
"Um..well...I...uh.. "
Crack! Crack!
"OWWWW!" Polly yelled.
"Out with it!" said Franziska irritated.
Apollo rubbed the back of his head and started to blush. "I-I'm sorry..I was just wondering if you would like to go out..with me..for dinner."
Franziska couldn't believe it. That was the first time anyone asked her out. She normally intimidated everyone and anyone, no one wanted to be bothered with her. Except for him...he truly was a fool amongst fools.
This was the second time in her life Franziska showed real emotion. She was embarrassed and blushing a little. What had gotten into her? This man, no rather this boy, had her messed up.
"...Hmph. I except you to pick me up and be on time. And take off that foolish outfit, wear something...decent."
Apollo was surprised but happy. "Yes Ma'am!"
Franziska sighed. What had she gotten herself into? She supposed it was just another challenge...waiting to be conquered.
