DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the installments of Ace Attorney or any of its characters. The only thing I do own is a true appreciation for how many amazing quotes and moments are from Turnabout Samurai.

ACE ATTORNEY SCRAPBOOK
Chapter 24: Unmasked

Case Tag: Post 1-3 (Turnabout Samurai)
*This quote is actually from the credits after 1-4, Turnabout Goodbyes, but it has to do with what happens after 1-3, so I'm using that as the case tag*

Quote:

Cody: But...you know. I snuck into the studio the other day.
And I saw her...the one inside the Pink Princess suit!
Ugh! What a dog! It was kind of a shock for a boy of my tender age.

Global Studios-Employee Area

Slipping in through the storm drain in the Employee Area at Global Studios, Cody Hackins popped up from the floor and dusted himself off. He was excited beyond words. Today was the day he was finally going to see the Pink Princess. While he admired the Pink Princess for her amazingly powerful and graceful fighting skills as she acted as guardian of Little Olde Tokyo, there was something extra special about this new heroine that appealed to Cody and his friends. Why couldn't the girls in his class at school be like the Pink Princess?! If they acted more like her, then maybe Cody and his friends would want to hang out with them more. Right now, they were just girls with cooties. Gross.

Now, the Pink Princess, she was a real girl. Beautiful but deadly and, man, could she fight! Cody found himself smirking as he recalled the last live action show he visited with his friends; the Pink Princess vanquished her enemies with a Princess Strike and a Princess Chop! Maybe he could ask her to come with him to his school dance this spring!

Cody hid behind one of the spare backdrops to wait for the Pink Princess to come his way. He readied his digital camera, looking up from the device as he heard some talking coming from down the hallway. It was a girl's voice-the Pink Princess! She was almost here!

Peeking out from behind the backdrop, Cody watched as the Pink Princess walked into the Employee Area, heading toward one of the dressing rooms. Once the starlet passed by and disappeared into the room, he darted out from his hiding space and made his way to the dressing room. Quietly and discreetly opening the door to the room, Cody then poked his head inside. Awe-struck, the only thing he could do was watch as the Pink Princess took a seat on the stool positioned in front of the vanity and began to remove her mask. The boy's grin only widened when he realized that he would soon be able to lay eyes on the woman inside the suit; he knew she had to be just as beautiful, cool and amazing as the Pink Princess!

Once the mask was removed, Cody's grin instantly turned into a jaw drop. What?! This had to be a joke!? This couldn't be the Pink Princess! She was all hairy and with big, man shoulders! She looked like a dude! Ugh! What a dog!

Not sure how to react to the sight in front of him, Cody quickly closed the door and then ran back through the storm drain and out of the studios.

Will Powers, swearing he heard something at his dressing room door, turned from the mirror, the Pink Princess mask still in his hands after removing it.

"Penny?" he asked, thinking the production assistant whom he had been chatting with as he made his way back to the employee area needed him.

Not hearing a response, Will shrugged and continued to slip out of the Pink Princess suit.
