Turnabout Ordinary Day

'Komm, Miles Edgeworth! Die Klasse beginnt!' the ten-year old Franziska von Karma said with a riding cop in one of her hand. She stood by the door of her 'little brother's' room. The seventeen-year-old Miles Edgeworth opened it.

'Ja, ich komme mit dir.' Together they walked to the big library in the Von Karma household. Here, they were always taught. The professor was already there and they started their little test. Today, Miles would began with a small test on yesterday's mathematics lesson and then he would have German and constitutional law. Tomorrow, he would be getting private and specific law lessons from Mr. Von Karma himself. However, today Franziska and he would get lessons from Professor Staum. Everything was given in German, but many books he had to read were written in English. That was an advantage for him in the beginning, but he now understood English as perfect as German. At the start, the lessons were very difficult, as he did not speak a word German. Mr. Von Karma refused to speak English to him or even to listen when Miles would speak English. By self-teaching, extra lessons and the daily conversations with Ms. Lea, he caught up and learned how to speak the language well. In the first three years, he had lessons on different subjects alone with Professor Staum and Mr. Von Karma. When Franziska was five, she and he began their lessons together. They were on different levels of course, but from the start she always thought she was smarter than him. That was really annoying on one hand, but on the other hand it was really amusing. However, when he would grin or smile at her because of her behavior, she would whip him with her riding cop. So, he decided to let not show his laugh, but that did not mean he stopped finding it amusing. She changed a lot when she started her lessons. She almost turned into a feminine clone of her father. He liked the little, cute and more easy going Franziska better. He could not help but to smile a little when thinking back to the funny things she did. Almost setting fire to the Christmas tree and-

'What are you laughing at, Miles Edgeworth?!' she hissed at him in German and looked at him.

'It is nothing,' he replied in perfect German. Annoyed, she continued her work.

'Are you finished, Miles?' Professor Staum asked the young man. Miles filled in his last answer of the little test.

'Ja, Professor Staum.' He handed his work to the older man with the moustache.

'Let's see…,' the professor said to himself in German and checked the given answers.

'No mistakes, well done Miles.' Miles made a little bow with his head as a reply.

'Thank you, sir.' He saw Franziska's angry look in the corner of his eyes. It began to look like a competition now. Friendly competition was alright, but this was something he did not like it at all.

'Franziska, are you finished as well?'

'Almost, professor Staum.' She finished her work and gave it to the man. He analyzed it and returned it to Franziska.

'You did well, however, let us discuss your two mistakes, so that you know what you did wrong, alright?' There was a short silence.

'How is that possible?! I am always better than Miles!' She looked really pissed off. Miles chuckled in himself. He actually always 'won' of her. He did not really care much, really.

'Franziska, Miles is doing totally different aspects of mathematics and he is older.'

'You are not allowed to make mistakes as a Von Karma! You need to be perfect!'

Miles was not sure if he heard a sigh coming out of professor Staum's mouth or not.

'Would you like to discuss it or not, Franziska?' he asked her again in German. She hesitated, Miles saw that clearly.

'I will help you too, Franziska.' He meant it, he did not see it as a competition. Miles would gladly help her.

'And I definitely do not need or want your help, Miles Edgeworth!' She had her riding cop ready to hit him. Her face became slightly red, but then turned her head towards the professor.

'Yes, I will discuss them with you, professor,' she said calmly.

'Good,' the professor gave as a reply and handed her a new blank sheet.

'Miles, would you like to ask Ms. Lea to make some tea for us?'

'Natürlich, Professor,' Miles answered and stood up. He glanced at Franziska and walked out of the library. This was just an ordinay day. He was sure that when he would come back, she would be less annoyed. Her emotions could change really quickly. Furthermore, professor Staum was very good at calming Franziska down.

He bowed for Mr. Von Karma on the way to the kitchen. Soon, he would make his debut as a prosecutor. A perfect prosecutor. One who would find all his defendants guilty. That was his goal.

A/N

I really had to think back to the German lessons I had in the five years of high school. Luckily, I still could remember the basic German sentences and grammar to be able to write Miles's and Franziska's conversations. Also, in this and futher stories I will not use too much German since not everyone speaks the language. Hope you enjoyed it! I will soon upload another chapter with a new Von Karma Household story!
