Edgeworth POV
I was waiting for 3 pm to come. Kay was out at the grocery store buying snacks for the meeting. It was her idea, but I agreed because I'd didn't want to hear whining about food. I organized my desk trying to figure out the case. I heard a knock on the door.
"It's open," I said. Kay was probably back with the food. When I looked up I saw a different woman. She looked kinda familiar. "Can I help you?"
"Edgeworth you don't remember me?" she asked.
"Can't say I do," I replied.
"High school?" she tried to jog my memory. "I ran for homecoming queen."
"Susan?" I said recognizing her.
"No Carol," she said. I nodded.
"Look I'm in the middle of something. So if you want to get coffee, it would have to be another day."
"Well you're not going anywhere not going anywhere now," she said coming closer to me.
"This is uncomfortable," I said moving away.
"I had a crush on you for a while. You had a good personality."
"I recall becoming antisocial in high school." She reached out to me. "Woah"
"You're so nice now," she said.
"Well I liked you better in high school." It was at that moment she kissed me. It lasted for like 15 seconds. After that I broke from the kiss.
"Ok no." I said calmly. "No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No."
"But Edgeworth," she tried to say.
"What part of no don't you get?"
"Fine I'll go," she said despisingly. And she left. I could just imagine her smiling after that for some reason.
I shook my head. "I can't believe she tried to do that. We meet after 10 years and she tries to kiss me."
"Mr. Edgeworth," someone said. I turned to see Kay at the door.
"Hey Kay," I said.
"What happened?" she asked.
"Bitter reunion." I said. "1:51 great."
"Something happened. I can tell," Kay said.
"Old school mate. Ran for homecoming queen."
"Let me guess," Kay started. "She found out you were famous and tried to hit on you."
"That sums it up nicely," I said. "What?"
"Oh my goodness!" she said staring at the floor.
"What?" she picked something up and gave it to me. "Franziska's whip."
"No wonder she was storming down the hall crying!" Kay said sounding surprised.
"Wait she was crying?" I yelled. "Oh goodness." I ran out of the room. I stormed down the stairs and out of the building trying to catch Franziska.
I found her outside standing there. "Franziska!" She turned to me. I could see the tear rimmed eyes. I could hear thunder in the distance.
"What do you want?" she asked in a dark voice. She gave me the coldest stare. I haven't seen her this mad for about three years.
"Franziska, what you saw up there-" I started.
"Don't make excuses!" She yelled. Her voice was filled with anger. "I saw you kissing her!"
"Franziska-"
"I don't care!" she screeched. "You are the most foolishly foolish fool in this whole foolishly foolish universe! I HATE YOU!" She stormed off out of the parking lot. I was so stunned all I could do was watch. I watched her run out into the streets with her hands over her face. I went back to my office. When I got there I saw Kay.
"Well?" she asked sounding worried. I shook my head. "I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault," I said sitting on my sofa. "Worst twenty minutes of my life." The phone rang just then. "Could you press speaker button."
"Yes Mr. Edgeworth." Kay went to press it when all of the sudden we heard Phoenix voice shouting with news.
"I figured it out! You have to come over right away!" he shouted.
"And bring the snacks!" Maya shouted as the phone stopped. I remembered we had a case to solve.
"Lets go!" I said.
"But Ms. von Karma," she started.
"Kay, think about it. Would you want to be with Connor?" I asked. She shook her head. "Come on. Franziska will come when she's ready." We headed out the door bringing Franziska's whip and the bag of food and left for Wright's office.
Time: May 5th 2:26 pm
Place: Wright and Co
We knocked on the door and Wright flung it open.
"What took so long?" he demanded.
"We got the message twenty minutes ago," I answered running inside. "Man it's been pouring since we got out of the parking lot."
"Where's Franziska?" Iris asked sounding just as excited as Wright.
"I don't think she's joining us," I said.
"Why?"
"She needs to let out some steam," Kay quickly said. I gave her a look of gratitude. "Where's wolf-boy?"
"Well he said he get here as soon as possible but when it rains there's traffic," Iris said.
"Well we'll wait for he should be here soon," Wright said. "Or half an hour which ever comes first."
"And you bag on us," I said. He looked at me with his stare.
"We figured a lot out," he said. Pearl entered the room. "Hi Pearls."
"Speaking about that weren't you filling out Pearls applications?" I asked.
"We finished early," Phoenix said regaining his control.
"Mr. Edgeworth," Pearl began. I looked at her. "Did something happen?"
"Well to put it simply yes," I said.
"What happened?" Iris said showing her comforting side.
"Well in the span of twenty minutes, I had an encounter with a girl from high school, she kissed me. OW!" Pearls slapped me. "Ok I deserved that but still. Ow."
"That lady was not you're special someone!" Pearls said.
"Ok I knew that," I said. "Anyway Franziska saw- Aah." Pearls slapped me again.
"So that's why she's not here!" Wright said.
"How could you?" Pearls said. Maya nodded.
"SHE kissed me!" I said. "I tried to get away but."
"Edgeworth I believe you," Wight said. "But you're gonna be slapped either way."
"Can I finish?" They nodded. "Anyway I went to explain things to her but she left. Then I got your call."
*KNOCK, KNOCK*
"I got it," I said. I opened the door to see Agent Lang. "Hey looks it Lang." The others pointed at him. I turned and he punched me.
