"So let me get this straight," Emma said as she laid across one of the sofas in the Wright Anything Agency. Liam was sat with her feet on his lap, while Apollo and Trucy sat across from them on the other sofa. "You started to help Trucy to find her, um, 'magic panties', then you find that Mr Eldoon's noodle cart went missing, then you find out about a murder and somehow ended up defending the only son of the Kitaki family." Emma said. Apollo sighed and nodded his head. Emma looked at him for a couple of minutes before shrugging. "Meh, I've had weirder cases Polly." Emma smirked at the use of the nickname. Apollo frowned.

"Ms Wright please don't you start calling me that." His hair spikes flopped down. Emma grinned.

"Hey it goes with the whole 'Nicki' thing I do with my brother." She said. "However, I wish I was there in court today. Pulling out panties from your back pocket must have been a hilarious sight!" Emma laughed. Liam chuckled along with her and Trucy giggled. Apollo groaned and leant back on the sofa, head tilted. When Emma had calmed down, she cleared her throat before talking again. "However, I digress." She smiled. "I can help you tomorrow in investigating or even in court if Trucy doesn't mind." She looked over at the young magician, who frowned at her Aunt.

"Awr! Auntie Emma." She pouted. Emma just smirked and shook her head.

"Think of it as punishment for imitating a kidnapper." She rose an eyebrow, daring her niece to argue. Trucy sighed and nodded before yawning. "And on that note, it's time for you to get ready to go to bed Truce." Trucy nodded again.

"Okay Auntie Emma. Night Polly, Auntie Emma, Uncle Liam." And with that she went to her room. Apollo stood up.

"I guess I will leave as well Ms Wright, Mr Masen." He said and started to walk over to the door. Emma yelled at him, causing him to turn to face the two older people.

"Okay, a few things before you go, one – Call us Emma and Liam, we don't care, two – Meet us here in the morning, and three – When are you back in court?" Emma asked.

"Umm okay and we are back in court the day after tomorrow." Emma nodded and smiled.

"Okay see you her at 8:30 tomorrow morning. We have a lot of investigating to do." She grinned. Apollo nodded and walked out the door. As soon as the door closed, Emma relaxed and looked over at Liam. "A pantie thief?! Really?!" She said and started laughing. Liam joined in. Eventually the calmed down and Emma closed her eyes. Liam just continued to sit there, looking around the room. It was filled with lots of magic equipment and he saw what he thought was a piano buried underneath it all. I thought Emma said Phoenix played piano… Liam thought. He was knocked out of his thoughts by Emma moving her feet off his lap and sitting up. She yawned before standing up and stretching.

"Tired?" He asked. Emma nodded tiredly.

"Yeah. I'm going to sleep on Nicki's bed. The best I can offer is the couch unless you want to, err, share the bed with me…" She trailed off and looked at the floor, blushing. Liam smirked and stood up. He walked over to Emma and cupped her cheek, brushing her fringe to the side. Emma looked up at him.

"If you don't mind, I'll go with the latter. No offence to your brother but his couches aren't that comfortable." He said, smirking. Emma chuckled and took the hand that was on her face, in hers and walked them over to Phoenix's room. Emma looked in on Trucy before going into Phoenix's room. They took of their jackets and shoes before getting in the bed. Liam turned off the bedside lamp before settling down. Emma curled up to his side a fell asleep quickly, Liam following suit.

Liam was the first to wake up to giggling from the direction of the door. He opened his eyes and turned to the direction of the sound, only to see Trucy giggling with her hand over her mouth. He blushed when he realised she was looking at Emma and himself snuggled up together. He quietly got out of the bed, as to not disturb Emma. HE grabbed his shoes and jacket and ushered Trucy into the Lobby. Trucy skipped over to one of the couches.

"Sooo…" She said. Liam looked up at her as he was putting on his shoes.

"Yes?" He asked. Trucy smirked.

"When did you get together with my Auntie Emma?" She asked. Liam's eyes widened and he coughed before scratching the back of his neck nervously.

"Errr… What do you mean? We aren't together." He said, looking in any direction but Trucy's. Trucy narrowed her eyes.

"Then why were you sharing a bed?" She asked innocently." Liam sighed.

"We just do that sometimes. Moving on, how about we go and grab some breakfast and bring it back for your aunt?" He asked, trying to change the subject. Trucy sighed.

"Okay but we are not finished on the subject." She said, crossing her arms, eyebrow raised. Liam just looked at her and after a moment smirked.

"Deal." He said. Then he and Trucy went out to get some breakfast.

Emma woke up to the smell of bacon. She got up and realised she was alone in the room and heard voices from the direction of the Lobby. She used the bathroom quickly, grabbing a clean outfit from her bag. After about five minutes she walked into the lobby, clean and ready to go. Liam and Trucy were sat on the sofa's eating bacon sandwiches. Liam noticed Emma first and smiled. Trucy saw him looking behind her and turned. When she saw her aunt she jumped up with another package in her hand.

"Morning Auntie Emma, Uncle Liam and I went out and bought bacon sandwiches for ourselves, you and Polly!" Emma took the sandwich and smiled. Just as she sat down there was a knock at the door.

"Truce that should be Polly, can you open the door please." Trucy nodded and went to the door. Emma took a bite out of her sandwich while Liam cleared up the rubbish from his and Trucy's breakfast. Apollo walked in followed by Trucy.

"Good morning Ms…" Emma raised an eyebrow at him. "I mean Emma, Liam." He said. Emma smiled and gestured for him to sit down. She swallowed as Apollo sat down, Trucy sitting next to him.

"Hey Polly." Emma nodded towards the coffee table, where a sandwich sat. "That's for you, we have a long day ahead of us." Apollo nodded and smiled before taking the sandwich.

"Thank you Ms – Emma." Emma just smiled and took another bite of her sandwich. After about five minutes everyone was ready to go. Emma had texted Miles to check he was okay. He replied, saying he was staying with Phoenix and not to get into any trouble. Emma replied asking him 'when did she ever get into trouble'.

"Okay is everyone ready to go?" Emma asked, pulling on her jacket. Everyone nodded. "Okay, so let's go." And with that they headed off to People Park.

The four had walked down to People Park. Plum was still outside the Kitaki house. Emma turned to face the others.

"Apollo, you and Trucy go and talk to Mrs Kitaki. Liam and I will look over the crime scene." Apollo and Trucy nodded and walked over to Plum. Liam followed them with his eyes before turning to face Emma.

"You sure that's a good idea?" He asked. Emma smiled up at him.

"They're the defence team for her only son. I think they will be fine." She said as she and Liam walked to the entrance of the park. Emma noticed the rubbish bin next to the entrance. She walked over to it and looked inside. There were a pair of green slippers inside. Emma frowned and put on some latex gloves from her back pocket before taking them. She held them up with her left hand and grabbed her torch from her belt with her right. She examined inside the slippers and saw a toe print in one of the slippers.

"What did you find?" Liam asked. Emma turned to him and showed him the print.

"I found these in the trash can." She said, looking at the top of the slipper. "Merakis Clinic…" She murmured. "That's the victim's clinic." The two stood there for a minute before Emma put her torch back on her belt and took an evidence bag from her messenger bag and put the slippers in it. "Will probably come in handy." When she put the bagged slippers in her bag, Apollo and Trucy came up to them.

"What did you find Emma?" Apollo asked.

"I found some slippers in the trash can. They are originally from the victim's clinic so I say we should head over there next." Emma said. Apollo nodded and the four of them set off again.

Location: Eldoon's House, California

When they arrived at the clinic, police were already there and wouldn't allow them in so Liam suggested they talked to Mr Eldoon about things while the police were going over the clinic. The others agreed and went to talk to Mr Eldoon.

"Hey kids, who are these two?" He asked, nodding his head in Emma's and Liam's direction. Trucy smiled.

"That's my Auntie Emma and Uncle Liam! Auntie Emma is Daddies sister." Trucy said. Mr Eldoon nodded his head.

"Okay Trucy-doll. So what do you guys want to know?" He asked. Emma asked him about his noodle stand and the clinic. He reveals that he used to be a surgeon before Merakis came into the picture. He told them that he and Merakis were fierce rivals until Merakis beat him at his own game. Emma took this information in and nodded at Eldoon.

"Thank you Mr Eldoon." She said before looking at her watch and turning to the others. "Wocky should be out of questioning by now, so let's head down to the detention centre." She looked at Apollo for conformation. He nodded and they head down to the detention centre.


So the timing for the investigation is off compared to canon because I didn't look up the dates so the investigation takes the whole day and the second part of court is the day after :P

Please review and tell me your thoughts :D
