Themis Legal Academy
March 22, 12:00 PM
Phoenix led Maya down the hall back to the entrance, since the halls were still mostly deserted Maya decided to continue her conversation with Nick.
"So Nick...do you think you might ever get married?"
"Hmm...well I have thought about it, I do want to settle down someday and have a family to call my own...Not that you and Pearl are not family, you guys are...Please never forget that."
"Don't worry Nick I won't ever forget that." Maya looked at Phoenix and gave a heart-warming smile to him which he returned (causing her to swoon).
"Anyway Maya, I figure as the Master you will eventually have to marry right?"
"Yeah...But the elders only force upon me once I have been the master for a few years so I have some time to myself haha...(Although Nick, I'm always ready for you.)
"Yeah well enjoy it while you can."
Phoenix and Maya continued down the hall, they mostly stayed silent as they walked down the empty hall until Phoenix almost ran into a ladder used by the janitor.
"Ow, what the...?"
"Oh Nick watch out for that ladder."
"A little bit late Maya, and Maya that is a Step-ladder."
"Nick a ladder is a ladder no matter what kind."
"No It isn't! This is a step-ladder."
"Nick, you step on all ladders so aren't all ladders considered step-ladders then?"
"...(Why do I always seem to end up in a argument with Maya about ladders and step-ladders?)"
Phoenix brushed off the bruise and kept walking, Lunch time was getting close to ending so Phoenix wanted to get out before the crowd piled in and made getting out impossible.
As Phoenix and Maya walked towards the door, a Brown-Hair man in all black walked into with sunglasses on.
"Oh excuse me sir, me and my assistant were just leaving."
"...Aren't you Phoenix Wright, Klaviers lawyer?"
"Oh um yes sir...are you perhaps a friend of Klaviers?"
"Haha I don't personally know him, I just know he became a prosecutor. It's a shame one of my co-workers is being accused of murder, a rookie no less."
"So I guess your a prosecutor?"
"Yeah, names Gerald Bolick I'm helping lead the investigation of Klaviers activities from the past year."
"Gerald Bolick? So your the Chief-Prosecutor?"
"Haha yeah, I have the honor of being one of the youngest chief-prosecutors in a history. It's quite sad that I have to lead the investigation of one of my fellow prosecutors though. Which is actually why I'm here, I figure your here for the same reason?"
"Yes sir, we were here to gather some information about Klaviers case he was in five years ago."
"Ah yes, my first case that's where I met Klavier...never thought he would go on to become a prosecutor though. Although considering who his brother is I shouldn't really be surprised."
"We heard Klavier was the decisive witness who got the guilty verdict?"
"Indeed, while the evidence all but sealed a guilty verdict, Klaviers testimony was the final nail in the coffin."
"I see, Prosecutor Bolick may I ask you some questions?"
"Sure, ask away."
"So Prosecutor Bolick mind telling me some more about you?"
"Well sure, I didn't always want to be prosecutor, I originally was going to take the family jewelry store over but me and my father had some disagreements about it so I pursued a career in law. My father passed away last year as did one of my older sisters so I don't really have any family left."
"I see I'm sorry for asking but you said one of your older sisters...did you have another one?"
"Indeed I did, but she passed away about Six years ago so, I don't have many memories of her."
"Hm alright, sorry for bringing up your past."
"it's cool, you just have to ignore the past, so when it is brought up it doesn't hurt...much."
"Anyway Prosecutor Bolick, is their anything about Klavier that could help me?"
"Well...the only thing that could come in mind is the fact he has no motive to Kill Gordon, also Gordon was killed by cyanide poison which I know Klavier has no means of getting...not only that I made sure every single prosecutor was checked before entering. So the only one who should av been able to kill him was either a non-prosecutor or someone a part of the security team."
"Alright thank you for the info."
Chief-Prosecutor Bolick Testimony added to the court record.
"Anything to help...well I have to go ahead and talk to the headmaster here, I'll go ahead and go so you two can get out before the students charge the door."
"Alright thank you...oh Prosecutor Bolick, this might sound weird but have we met before? I could av sworn I saw a younger version of you like maybe Six or Seven years ago..."
"Haha perhaps, i did hang around Ivy University a lot, which is where I believe you went so it's possible." Gerald quickly left before Phoenix could ask any more questions.
"But I could-av sworn I seen him somewhere else as well..."
"Um...Nick are you ok?"
"Huh?...Oh yeah Maya, sorry just thinking aloud."
"Oh ok...Hey Nick we should head down to the detention center and see if we can ask Klavier more about the case from a few years ago!"
"Good ideal Maya, lets go."
Detention Center
March 22, 12:45 PM
Phoenix and Maya arrived at the empty detention center,they sat down and was about to request for Klavier when the guard spoke up. "Klavier Gavin is currently in questioning, please come back later."
"Ah Nick, we missed him!"
"It would seem that way Maya, lets go ahead and head back to-" Phoenix was cut off as the sound of a cracking whip stung his left shoulder, he was terrified to see Franziska standing in the door way, Phoenix thought she was here to get her revenge from earlier and was about to plead the guard to take him in when Franziska spoke up.
"Phoenix Wright, I request to speak with you in private...now!"
Phoenix was so terrified he didn't see Franziska was as red as Edgeworths suit, he looked down at Maya and told her to stay here as he walked with Franziska outside, but not before mouthing to Maya 'If I die, please take care of Charlie.'
"So Franziska...I'm really sorry about earlier I have no ideal what came over me an-" Before Phoenix could finish his sentence Franziska used her whip to sling Phoenix towards her, and before he knew she locked lips with him. Phoenix was extremely surprised but eventually melted into the kiss, they didn't break it until they had to come up for air.
"Franziska?..."
"Phoenix Wright...you are a foolish man with a foolish life and who has a foolish career...and you are also the fool who has stolen my foolish heart..."
Phoenix didn't know what to say, he just looked down into Franziskas eyes...and just smiled, he did have to admit Franziska was quite attractive. She smiled back at him and the two melted into another kiss, it didn't last as long as the first one but they didn't care, they both felt like they were on top of the world.
"Franny..."
"Phoenix...I'm sorry I sprung this onto you..."
"It's ok Franny...I didn't yell objection did I?"
"Hehe...no...no you didn't." Franziska layed her head on Phoenixs chest, he pulled his hand up to her hair and started stroking it before kissing her on the head.
"Franny...I have to get back to the case at hand but..."
"I understand Phoenix...but here I hope this will aid you in your investigation." Franziska layed something in Phoenixs hand before pulling him into another kiss, she then smiled at him before running away, leaving Phoenix alone.
"Well that was...unexpected...what did she give me?" Phoenix looked down into his hand and saw that Franziska had given him a note.
Dear Gordon
I am still awating the One-thousand dollers you owe me from our last visit. You have twenty-four hours to give it to me or I will have you know who take care of you.
Gordons Threat Letter added to the court record
Phoenix read over the note and wondered what It meant, he was interrupted in his thoughts when Maya came running out.
"Nick! The guard said Klavier will be in questioning for the rest of the day because needs him transferred over to the criminal affairs department! I also heard that Detective Fulbright and Detective Stone will be leading a secondary investigation unit into Town Hall, so we won't be able to investigate inside of their until tomorrow!"
"Oh that's just great...It's only One-o-clock and our investigation seems to already be through."
"We could head over to Tres-Bien for lunch and discuss the evidence we have so far!"
"Hm...good ideal Maya lets go."
Themis Legal Academy
March 22, 12:15 PM
Gerald Bolick walked down the halls of Themis Legal Academy, It had been around 6 years since he first enrolled her and obtained his prosecutors badge, he mostly wanted to forget about those six years due to his sisters death. He also never would have guessed that he would become the chief-prosecutor at such a young age. He continued walking until he reached the door to the faculty office, in which a man was leaning against it.
"I'm sorry to ask, but may I enter the faculty office?"
"...Are you a prosecutor?"
"Yes, I am Chief-Prosecutor Bolick, who are you?"
"...I see...so your blade is quite sharp."
"You didn't answer my question, who are you?"
"I am but a wandering samurai in this academy, a senior about to graduate and obtain his badge..."
"A wandering Samurai eh? Tell me...are you the student-prosecutor everyone has been talking about? The twisted Samurai as they call you?"
"...Yes..."
"I see, well I still need inside the faculty office." The man leaning against the door opened his eyes and pushed himself off the door before walking down the hallway, not uttering another word to Gerald. Gerald just looked at him, before sighing.
"That guy...Why do I have a bad feeling about him?" Gerald shook his head, before entering the faculty office.
Criminal Affairs Department
March 22, 1:00 PM
Franziska ran as fast she could to the Criminal Affairs Department, along the way millions of thoughts ran through her mind and they always kept landing on that fool of a man Phoenix Wright. When she finally arrived, she couldn't wipe the smile off of her face, she entered the building and instantly drew the attention of everyone. For the first time ever Franziska actually looked happy, she seemed to dance around on the way to the evidence room even giving friendly greetings to everyone and not even touching her whip.
When Franziska finally arrived in the evidence room, the only one in their was Edgeworth was surprised(and scared) at how happy Franziska looked.
"Um...hello Franziska you look...happy..."
"Huh?...Oh hello little brother how are you?"
"Uh...(Oh God she is either dunk or someone drugged her.)"
"You know Miles Edgeworth, isn't life fantastic?"
"Um...I suppose so..."
"Like just today I finally got my first ever kiss..."
"I see...wait what?"
"I said I just got my first kiss you fool of a little brother."
"Then I suppose your meeting with Wright went well?"
"Haha, you could say that my foolish little brother."
Edgeworth face palmed, he didn't know which was worse, normal Franziska, or love-struck Franziska.
Tres Bien
March 22, 1:30 PM
Phoenix and Maya sat down at one of the booths at Tres Bien, most of the food was still terrible but had gotten somewhat better since the whole case here a few months ago. They both ordered a burger from Maggey who was still working here despite everything and also a cup of water. They sat in silence as Maya played with her thumbs and Phoenix was going over the evidence.
Finally Maya decided to break the silence "So Nick...what did you and Franziska talk about?"
"Uh..." Phoenix could feel his face getting red and knew that he was about to stutter like a mad-man "We-Well you..see...M-M-Maya, we talked about the current case at hand...yep..."
"(Why did Nick stutter so much?...Is he hiding something?) Really Nick? You sure you two didn't talk about nothing else?"
"Yep...I-I'm sure.(Technically I'm not lying as we didn't really 'talk')"
Before the situation could get any more awkward Maggey came up with their food and drinks and handed it to them. They thanked her as they Phoenix quickly changed the topic and talked about some other stuff, mostly about the case at hand and tried to avoid any questions Maya asked about his 'sister'.
As they continued to make small talk, Phoenix phone rang startling the both of them. Phoenix looked down and didn't recognize the number but answered anyway.
"Um...Hello?"
"Perry my sweet girl! I have called to set up a date as my heart is longing for you!"
"...Larry?"
"Yes It Is I La-...huh Nick?"
"Larry...why did you call my phone?"
"NICK WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHY DO YOU HAVE PERRY'S PHONE?!"
"Larry this is my phone...Perry is my sister(in a way) and must have gave you my number since she doesn't have a phone."
"Oh well Nick...Can I talk to her?"
"...No." Phoenix hung up his phone before turning it off and slipping it into his pocket, causing Maya to go into a giggling fit.
"Whats so funny Maya?"
"Hehe, It looks like isn't the only heart your sister stole."
"Uh yeah...(Oh God please let that memory be erased from my brain.)
Maya kept laughing causing her to almost choke on her burger, Phoenix distracted himself by going back over his evidence and began to get ready for the trial tomorrow.
3 Hours later
"Hey Nick...we have to pick Pearls up at five...want to go ahead and go?" Phoenix and Maya had been at Tres Bien for around two hours now, the place had some mild business but the pair decided to stay their as they went over the evidence several times trying to find some sort of contradiction or something to help them in tomorrows trial.
"Yeah Maya, Let me just put the evidence back up and we can head down their."
"Alright Nick!...Also Pearls called and asked me if we can drop a new friend of hers off at their house if that's ok."
"Yeah Maya, that's fine."
Phoenix stuffed the evidence back into the files and slipped them into his pockets, He payed Maggey and also slipped a tip to her and left with Maya, the pair stood on the curb trying to grab a taxi. One finally showed up and they both got in.
On the way to Pearls school, Phoenix tried to run the events of the past two days through his mind. He had become a girl somehow and almost kissed Edgeworth, the police chief was killed, he already had a new client, and he had kissed Franziska...if Manfred was alive then he would be skinned alive by him.
Maya on the other hand was trying to devise a way to tell Nick she love him, but every time she had a ideal she was always to shy to do it. But she kept having to remind herself they were on a case right now and she had to(somehow) control her feelings until after the case was over.
The taxi drove to Ivy University children's school, with both Phoenix and Maya in deep thought.
Ivy University Childrens School-Room 103
March 22, 4:55 PM
Phoenix and Maya arrived at Ivy University's children school, the children's school had been around for Three years now and was for gifted children, with Pearls case being her spiritual powers. Phoenix and Maya walked through the halls of the Children School, earning a few looks from the kids(mostly because of Mayas clothes and because Phoenix was featured in the latest Ivy University coloring book.)
They both arrived at Room 103 where Pearls was enrolled at, Maya told Phoenix to wait outside while she went in and grabbed Pearls. After about 10 minutes Maya walked out with Pearls and a young boy wearing some kind of brace following close behind.
Phoenix figured this was Pearls new friend and was about to introduce himself when the young boy looked up at him and stopped. The young boy then hid behind Pearls(Mostly to hid their red cheeks).
"...Maya...Why do little kids hate me?..."
"Haha I don't know Nick, might be because of that spiky head of yours."
"...Thanks for the confident booster."
Maya just laughed as she started walking down the hall with Phoenix behind. Pearls started reassuring her friend that just looks scary and is actually really nice.
Robin just nodded at Pearls"(It's not that he looks kinda scary...Its the fact that he is really cute and I'm...I'm...)" Robin was snapped out of his thoughts with Pearls showed him a drawing she had drawn today.
Phoenix used a taxi to drop Robin off and then head back to the office with Pearls and Maya, while today's investigation was cut short, Phoenix was still ready for tomorrows trial...unfortunately "Phoenix" wouldn't be at the trial...but his "sister" would...
A/N:Alright all you Godot/Phoenix, Edgeworth/Phoenix, Maya/Phoenix and Oldbag/Phoenix shippers settle down! Yes I did have Franziska kiss Phoenix, Yes Phoenix did return the kiss but this doesn't mean that will be the fina couple! I Plan on trying to please everyone :P Anyway I fear I made Franziska a little OOC in this, but we never really saw her in love so...:P
Author Responces
IForgotMyNick-Thank you for telling me of a few mistakes I made, and I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter :) I originally was going to use your ideal but changed it when I didn't know how to write that conversation between the two out. Although I am still going to use one of the ideals you gave me so don't worry :) [Irrelevant mode activated] I agree, it does seem like everyone theme is the same except for Nick...wait Nick as the Steal Samurai O_o [Irrelevant mode de-activated] I'm glad I was able to make you laugh as they is one of the main goals of the story :).
aylengm-Haha I'm glad your like Franziska/Phoenix and while the ideal of Franziska/Phoenixx to start out was temtping, I have to say I just thought Maya made more sense off the bat.
LavenderPie-Yeah haha, I'm trying to throw as many jokes pertraning to the other games as possiable and huh...we always called it department over here oh well. And honestly I'm not the best at court casses, I'll write down what I'm going to include then scratch half-way through writing and do something else :P
Mihoshi 2.0-Yeah just imagening Franziska bursting out a rant really is funny to think about, and yes I'm really enjoying the Dual Destinies game so far it's really fun, and yeah I know about the other ace attorney game (Speaking of which, I hope Capcom hurries up and announces The Great Ace Attorney will be coming to the countries outside of Japan.) and the Godot thing is something I'm going to play with, I wanted him to be a major plot point in this case, although I'm hitting a wall trying to describe him without making the excuse sound like bulls*** but ah well.
