Seven messages?! Since when do this many people call me?! *Sigh* I suppose I shouldn't put this off for later; otherwise, the machine might get full.
An automated, female voice stated: "Message 1."
"Mr. Edgeworth, sir! I just wanted to thank you again for sending that nice gift for little Gary's birthday. I wish you could've come to the party, but he really loves it. Maggey and I...we're real grateful! Maybe I'll stop by the office to pay you a visit soon. Have a nice day, pal!"
This has to be the fifth time he's said thank you to me. I got the message the first time. Oh well. It can't be helped.
"Message deleted. Message 2."
"Hey Edgeworth. It's Phoenix Wright, in case you didn't know. Just wanted to call and let you know that Trucy's got another magic show coming up in a couple of weeks, you know, if you'd like to come see it. She'd really like that. So…yeah. Hope everything's been well with yo-" He heard yelling in the background.
"Athena! Give that back!"
"Ooo! What's this? A love letter? Let's read it aloud, hm? Dear Juniper, I looove you!"
"That's not what it says, and it's not even a love letter! Can you not read?!"
"Knock it off, you two! I'm on the phone!...With an answering machine. Anyway, yeah. Let me know if you can make it. Talk to you later!"
It seems everything's running normally at the Wright Anything Agency…well, at least according to their definition of normal.
"Message deleted. Message 3."
"Who was that woman talking right now?! Is she your girlfriend?! I can't believe you'd betray me like this, Ed-!"
"Messaged deleted."
No! It can't be! I must be imagining things.
"Message 4."
"This is one of those answering machines, isn't it? Why, back in my old days, we didn't even have phones! Life was much less complicated, and people actually talked to each other in person rather than using these crazy contraptions. The things they come up with these days, I can't-"
"Message deleted."
No, no, no! How did she get this number?!
"Message 5."
"You're ignoring me, aren't you?! Oh, my poor, young heart can't bear to handle it! You've grown out of love with me, but no matter, Edgey-poo! I'll be coming to your office soon, and after my visit, you'll be completely convinced to stay with me forever and ev-"
Nghooh! She's going to come to my office?! I must tell security about this posthaste! I better not erase this message, in case I need proof for the future.
"Message 6."
Edgeworth reluctantly listened to the message, only to have his eyes narrow, almost to the point that he was glaring at the phone.
That's all I can give you for now, but you can find out more in my next story, The Romantic Turnabout. (I posted the summary for this story as the first chapter, so please do go follow it! Thanks!)
