==Luna's POV==
8:00 AM.
I was too early to came to the Gatewater Land.
Maybe I should see them first.
As I opened the door to the warehouse, there was three Badgers sitting in the chairs and argumenting something.
" Hey, did you call Luna already?"
Huh? They are talking about me?
" She is not answering my calls."
I hastily put my hands in my pocket. Lass! I forgot my cellphone, again.
" What do we do now? We need a Bad Badger now!"
" Hey guys." I called them.
" Ah Luna!" They all said in union.
" I heard that you need my help on something?"
They removed the headgear of Proto, Pink and Blue Badger.
" Hey great timing as always!" Elias, the Proto Badger said.
" These two boys are on a little problem, heehee." Sofia, the Pink Badger smiled.
" Hey! We are a team so we should stick together, right?" Greg, the Blue Badger, said at the two Badgers.
Elias, Sofia, and Greg is one of my friends here. They are the ones who make the Gatewater Land into reality. They are known as ESG Studio.
" So, what can I do to help?"
" We need a Bad Badger actor, but the one who will play became sick today. So, can you play that part?"
" Please... "
" Please, for the sake of us."
The looked at me with puppy-dog eyes.
I can't say no to that...
" A-Alright. What will it be?"
" A hostage taking!"
" You will hold Sofia while holding and pointing the gun..."
" And me and Elias will jumped to you, taking Sofia from you, and you will run in defeat! A happy Ending!"
" ...But it will not work on a real hostage taking, you know that right?"
Jumping on a hostage taker is a idiot...Larry maybe do that but not Edgeworth and Wright. Especially Wright...know that guy for years.
" Don't mind the details!" He handled me the Bad Badger suit and head.
" Faster, Luna! We don't have much time left!"
" Okay. Okay!"
I hastily wear the suit. After that, we started on our way to the fountain area.
I glanced at the clock. 9:00 AM.
9:00 AM...ACK! I forgot about Wright!
I look at the crowded people.
He's not here yet. Phew...
Then we started our act. I held the Pink Badger and both the Proto and Blue Badger is readying their act about jumping. But then someone hastily run towards us unnoticed and jumped.
Me, Sofia and the man both tumble down the ground.
Everyone glared at the man.
He was wearing a gray jacket and a blue hoodie.
How I wrong I was...
W-Wright?!
Wright looked at me with puppy-dog eyes and I felt he was asking for help and forgiveness.
I glared at him while still in a costume.
Damn Wright, if this gun is real, I want to shoot you as many times as I want...
If I can just undo it...
Eureka!
I accidentally click the voice recorder that is in in my hand and everyone looked at me. Especially him.
Weed! Gotta undo it, fast!
He looked straight at me.
Oh no...
I grab Wright in the arm and hastily ran to the warehouse.
He was just looking at me...*gulp*
I closed the door and sit in one of the chairs to think what should I do...
" Thank You." He said, reaching out his hand to me.
W-What should I do? Should I blame him or apologized for what happened earlier...?
" U-Um yeah. By the way I'm sorry for earlier."
Yeah, I should apologized first, says I'm Luna, and Edgeworth's voice earlier is just a voice , I should do that...
" Dammit!"
I startled. I should now start to apologized...
" U-um-"
"Edgeworth...". He mumbled.
E-Edgeworth?! I knew he will mistakenly think I'm Edgeworth!
I need to fix this, but if Wright knew I'm not Edgeworth, he will be sad...he did not even seen him for almost 7 years...!
I need to play this straight! You should not fail this time, Luna!
I faced the wall opposite of him and started to tinkering the Little Thief to voice like Edgeworth's.
I suddenly turn around and talk to him.
I think I'll having a heart attack for doing this...
" Wright."
Is this good?
" E-Edgeworth?"
Great, I think it's working...
" Wright, don't you ever tell them what happened today, understood?" I know Edgeworth talk like this...
" Y-Yeah...but can you at least removed that costume to speak comfortably."
S-Shit! I need to reason not to...
" S-Sorry but Kay said I should put it throughout the day. It was a dare."
Work...work...
" A-Ahh...Is that it?"
Success!
Silence.
" Edgeworth, are you angry at me?"
W-What? Now that's weird...Why he suddenly say that?
" H-Huh? Why did you thought of that?"
" I never answer your e-mail and calls. S-So I thought you are mad at me for doing that."
'Edgeworth, please forgive me...' He thought
...Wright.
I need to talk to Edgeworth after this...
"...All right. To tell you the truth, I'm mad at you. But I forgive you a long time ago. So please stop thinking about that. It hurt me."
" H-Huh?"
H-Hurt me? GAHH! It's so wrong!
" Ack n-no what I mean is-"
Before I could react, he suddenly hugged me and kissed the Bad Badger's mouth, not knowing I'm inside the costume, not Edgeworth.
I blushed.
" W-Wright? Y-You just k-kissed me..."
" Yeah, do you like it?"
W-Wright...
" S-Sorry...I didn't mean to-"
" Don't worry, I feel...like it actually."
It was true. I like him. But because I can't age, I can't love either. I felt crushed when I saw my friends and family die one by one. Many humans think that being young forever is a gift, being jealous of me and some tried to know the secret by force, but for me it's a curse. A curse that is like incuritis, but there's no cure. Forever.
" E-Edgeworth..."
I glanced at the door.
" I think there was someone looking at you on the outside." I said.
" O-Oh that's right..."
He handled the door knob.
" Goodbye, Edgeworth"
" Goodbye...Wright."
I looked at Wright going out the warehouse.
" Wright, thanks for the experience." I said to no one as I go in the underground tunnel.
Even it will never happen again...
I hastily came to the fountain area in Gatewater Land.
When I came there, I saw Elias, Sofia, and Greg talking.
" Luna! There you are!"
" Ah, I'm sorry it not turn out to be good." I apologized.
" The one you did there was great!" Elias said as he pat my shoulder.
Huh..?
" R-Really?"
" Yeah! So here." Sofia handled me a pamphlet
" What's this?"
" We want you to help us again Luna! We are a team, remember?" Greg hold my hand.
" Y-Yeah, a team." I smiled.
" Hold it! We have a gig at the Haunted House!" Elias said as he looked at the clock.
" I almost forgot! I'm in the music part there!" Sofia said as she hold her mouth.
" And I'm the walking Badger! The Haunted House is opening soon!" Greg said.
" Goodbye for now Luna!"
I waved goodbye at the three as they run towards the entrance.
I sat it the fountain area and read the pamphlet.
They are always the same...
Not long after that, I saw Wright walk towards me.
I hastily put the pamphlet in my side pocket.
" Sorry Luna, I just...meet a old friend of mine working here."
" A-Ah don't m-mention it. I-I just arrived here. S-sorry I'm l-late." I smiled to him.
Hope he doesn't know that I'M that old friend working here...
" Luna, is there something wrong?"
W-What?!
Then I feel something spiritual presence around me, like chains that binds me.
The magamata..! I forgot! Now he knows that I'm lying now..!
" L-Luna..."
" There's nothing wrong, really. We should go now to the Embassy. Asap!"
I wonder if he'll know about it someday? How will he react? He will be angry at me..?
I don't want another friend to be gone because of me...
Silence.
Wright stares at the paper with sadness.
He put back the ripped paper back to the file.
He doesn't spoke about it and read the 3rd part of the file.
I reread it...and it's too cheesy for my taste! Ahaha! :3
I feel bad... :(
Bear-san: Luna, just go with it already...
Me: ...sigh. Why are you here, Bermuda-san? You know this is PW, not KHR, right?
Bear-san: Paperworks.
Me: Ugh! Okay be right back...
~Paalam!~
