Author's Note: ...*snore*... Huh? What's going on... *Yawn*... so tired... so much homework, can't think straight... must finish story... before passing out on...

Highway

"I can't believe we just pulled that off... I can't believe I even tried that."

Ema was complaining a lot, driving Phoenix and herself to who knows where. Phoenix was coughing up more blood than ever; it was all over the passenger seat. Ema couldn't stop but wonder how she got into this mess, but she had to go through with it, for Phoenix's sake. She started to pull over to a parking lot to ditch the car, so they wouldn't get tracked. They walked on foot to the prosecutor's office.

"This is the only place where we could hide for now; sis will help us out for now."

When they arrived, they found the office to be empty.

Perfect, now we could sneak past, and get to sis's office.

They used the stairs, trying to avoid any hidden cameras as possible. Finally, they reached the top floor of the prosecutor's office. Ema knew her sis stays very late to finish all of her work.

*Knock, Knock*

Ema and Phoenix patiently waited, after a couple of minutes (and coughs of blood all over Ema...) Lana opened the door. When she saw them she lost her cool and freaked out.

"My God! Ema, is that you! Why are you covered in blood!"

This might take a while to explain to Sis...

"Is that you Mr. Wright! Why are you here! I thought the both of you were dead when I got the report..."

"But we're standing in front of your door breathing... *Strong Cough of blood*"

The blood went all over Lana's face and uniform, she would have been frustrated... if it was anybody else.

"Okay, maybe one of us is still breathing fine... I, don't know if I'll breathe fine tonight..."

Lana quickly got a hold of Phoenix, shaking him like crazy.

"Why is that! I want you to tell me everything you know!"

With that, the world's longest briefing took place. Phoenix explained every detail, including their run in with prosecutor Klavier.

"Have you gone insane Phoenix! How could you get Ema involved with this!"

"I'm sorry but... I need both of you right now, that's the only way... well the only way I can think of."

"... I'll help, but only because I want to catch whoever is responsible for this."

"Good...*cough* we'll need to start it tomorrow... When Trucy's trial starts..."

The Past, 2 Days After

As soon as Alicia said she'd stay at the agency, everything stopped. Then it seemed like he was watching so. Something else, another scene. Judging by the date presented on the calendar Apollo saw hanging on the wall. It was two days since Alicia arrived, and Apollo was still in deep thought. Especially one thought above most of the others...

Alicia... that beautiful smile, that heavenly voice... Argh!!! Why can't I stop thinking about her!

Apollo couldn't fend off the emotions, especially if they involved her. Still thinking what to make of the situation, he decided to see what would happen. Alicia was having a cup of fresh coffee from Phoenix, he was trying to make breakfast. Technically, it was Saturday, so he thought Trucy would've slept in. He was totally wrong... again.

"Daddy! Are you making breakfast!"

"Yes, although... you might want to get the phone ready..."

Alicia giggled at the thought of Phoenix burning food, and the fire apartment arriving.

That was a cute giggle... What the Hell!!! I have mental problem, that's got to be it... argh!

Still torn between his thoughts, he continued to watch. To his surprise, Phoenix made a great breakfast. Everything was perfect... nothing on fire and it actually looked delicious...

*Gurgle!*

Apollo remembered that he didn't eat anything since... actually he couldn't remember the last time he ate, he was, "occupied" with his current situation.

That food looks so good...

Alicia took a quick bite of the scrambled eggs, Apollo didn't know what he was staring at, Alicia or the delicious breakfast...

"Wow! Daddy, I never knew you could make the best breakfast ever!!! Why don't you ever make it?"

"Well... how about I tell you some other time."

"Fine!"

Alicia took a look at Trucy and lightly tapped her on the head, she smiled.

Please stop smiling, I don't want to always look at you every time you do something like that, it's too cute... beautiful, and sometimes you're hot... Doh!

"Well Trucy! How would you like to spend your Saturday with Auntie Ali."

"Okay, Ali... I really don't know what to do, but I bet you we're always going to have fun with you! You're the best Ali!"

Ali? Wow! I didn't know Trucy gave her a nickname.

Trucy was blabbering away of all the fun things they could do together. Alicia smiled, she said that instead of picking just one place, why don't they just all go to every place. Trucy jumped for joy so high that she jumped over the moon already. She was so ecstatic about going, she started to drag Alicia halfway through the door.

"But, could we do that After Breakfast, I'm kind of hungry..."

"Aw!"

Trucy lost all of her anticipation, then her stomach growled all of a sudden. It sure gave her away. Alicia laughed a bit, then spoke her mind.

"Well if you don't eat how we are going to have the best time of our lives."

Trucy looked at her breakfast... 1, 2, 3... She started to eat her breakfast so fast, she practically gorged on it. Everyone (including Apollo) looked in disbelief, Phoenix was the first to speak up.

"I guess you guys are going to start your adventure, a little sooner than expected. Well you girls are off, I have to go to work."

"Hey Trucy, let's leave. We want to start our weekend of fun ASAP right!"

"Yeah! Let's go."

Alicia left with Trucy steadily behind her. Apollo just stared at the unfinished breakfast left by everyone, Phoenix didn't even touch his. It all looked so tempting... But he found himself following Phoenix, so much for delicious food...

Phoenix was headed to somewhere, but Apollo didn't have a clue. He just kept on walking, that is till he headed to People Park.

People Park

It seemed like any regular time at the park, Phoenix plopped himself on the bench and said to himself.

"Another hour till work... Oh well I guess I could just wait here and enjoy the day while I can"

One look at him would make you think he was a real Hobo, lying on the bench with that Hobo look. For about five minutes nothing happened, he just lay still. It just happened for one full hour, then he finally got up and started to walk out.

Well that was useless, I just stood there for...

He was cut off as Phoenix Wright got hit by a Ferrari going full throttle, being chased by the cops and was sent 60 feet into the air, he was hit hard. Apollo just stood there, looking at where Phoenix got hit by the car. He actually wasn't that surprised, he already knew what happened before when he got hit be a car, it was during Apollo's second case. He walked out of the park to see where he was going to land. To his surprise he was still in the air.

Wow... I wonder how he can live like that...

Finally after a couple minutes, Apollo saw him land at a nearby plaza. He quickly rushed himself there. Arriving he saw three people at the landing site. Phoenix, Trucy, and Alicia. Phoenix hit his head against Alicia at full speed, that they both got knocked back into a light pole.

"Daddy... Auntie... wake up."

Trucy was beside them, trying to shake them awake. Apollo stood in amazement, but he was deep in thought.

Hmm... I wonder, is this where Phoenix... Nah!

Alicia woke up first, she was moaning pretty hard. But that stopped when she saw her brother lying unconscious, bleeding in front of her.

"Oh My God! Phoenix are you okay? Wake up!"

She gripped onto him pretty tight, crying her heart out. Phoenix spoke a couple words.

"Don't cry, I'm not gone..."

Then Apollo blacked out, it happened too quickly.

... Tch

Hickfield Clinic

Apollo woke up with a startle, calming himself down, he looked around the room. All he saw was the other bed being occupied...

"Alicia!"

She was using the other bed in the room, her heart rate meter showed no signs of a heartbeat. Then all too quickly, she began to get her full heart rate back. When she woke up, she screamed.

"Apollo, what are you doing here!"

*Slap!*

"Ow! Hey that's no way to treat the injured!"

"Hey you scared me! I woke up finding you staring at me funny."

... Was I staring at her funny.

"Any who, you scared me back their! You just tackled me and made us fall off the cliff! I mean that's crazy! So what if there was someone behind me!"

"Hey you would've been shot if it wasn't for me!"

The door opened to see one spirit medium come in. Cheery as ever, holding onto a newspaper.

"Hey everybody! Looks like your all better."

"Maya! When did you get here!"

She explain that she just arrived to deliver some news to them.

"Well what is it?"

"Well it's not great news but it might clear things up."

She handed Alicia the paper first.

"... Detective Murdered?... blood and body was found, but the body disappeared. Reports of the crime scene have been made, and the blood doesn't belong to the victim. It belongs to Phoenix Wright, the "murder" occurred in Detective Skye's apartment..."

"! Ema!"

"What the heck is going on!"

Apollo, thought about some things. Not concerning the paper, though...

Man, I can't focus on anything! Alicia looks beautiful... okay that's it! I have got to focus, focus... not working!

"Hey Apollo, what are you thinking about? And why are you staring at me like that?"

"... Oh, nothing"

Damn! My head can't think straight! Someone help me!

Alicia giggled, she seemed pretty happy. Apollo blushed, he looked redder than the vest he always wears. He kept on thinking about Alicia, it just couldn't leave his mind.

"Earth to Apollo! C'mon, you know you could leave the hospital. I think you could check out right now. So why don't you?"

"Yeah..."

After checking out they decided to get breakfast, Apollo wanted to pay for the meal. But he remembered that he was flat out broke, reason, he didn't have a resent case that paid him, his last case, and Maya got paid. Alicia offered to buy breakfast, they quickly went to a nearby parlour. When they entered, they were seated by a waitress Apollo thought was familiar.

"Hey Maggey! Long time no see!"

"Ah! You're Alicia! Yes it has been a long time since you visited."

"Hey Maggey, remember me!"

"Maya! It was so long since I seen you!"

They all talked for a little bit, then they started to order their food. Alicia remembered something then spoke up.

"You know, no matter where I eat breakfast, it's never as good as Nick's. He makes the best breakfasts, they're so delicious. I haven't had one in a while, but I can still remember it."

"Really! Nick can cook! I never knew that!"

Apollo started to remember his "experience". He remembered the delicious breakfast he saw Phoenix make, and how radiant Alicia looked when she ate it. He just kept on staring at her, almost never thinking of anything else. That is till she spoke up.

"Um Apollo, why are you staring at me like that? You're kind of creeping me out..."

Apollo blushed, he didn't answer. Alicia giggled and continue to eat, Apollo prayed that he would not fall in love with his mentor's younger sister... but it might not help.
