Description: Iris has been released from jail, only to face another turnabout and some more chaos. A Phoenix x Iris story, more chapters to come, takes place two years after Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations.

Chapter 7: More Reveals

Before Trial:

"You can't dress like a spirit medium for this trial!" Sister Bikini told Iris "we want to keep on the down low for now, just wear this and let your hair down!"

Sister Bikini took off Iris's magatama, unraveled her hair from the small crown of braids on top, and handed her a pink dress just like the one Dahlia used to wear, just without the shawl and parasol.

"Thank you for defending me, Feenie." Iris thanked Phoenix as she walked into the defendant lobby, "I really don't know if I killed him or not but-!"

"The trial is starting;" announced the bailiff, "please enter the courtroom."

Phoenix was too lost in thought too even realize he said he was ready, Franziska gave her opening statement:

"On July 28, Ms. Iris Hawthorne was to meet the man she was set up to marry in the channeling chamber. Then she grabbed a pistol shot him once, missed when he dodged, and then shot him again in the heart, the second bullet was found in the wall."

"I now call the witness…" Franziska began "April May to the stand!"

April May stood at the witness stand, she was wearing a simple dark blue dress that stopped just below her feet. Taking a break from her flirtatious attire.

"Name and occupation!" Demanded Franziska, whipping April.

"Watch the whip, missy!" April scolded before sighing and turning away, "April May, waitress at…Trés Bien. Are you happy now!"

"How did she get stuck with a job like that!" Phoenix wondered

"Testify what you witnessed!" Franziska said in yet again a demanding voice.

Testimony:

"I was on my way to my friend's house, which was up in the mountains, when I passed by the open doors of the channeling chamber."

"When I recognized a man I thought I'd never see again—Victor Dash!"

"I stopped to make sure it was him, when I saw that hippie nun shoot Victor!"

"The nun fainted as I caught her doing the crime, and I called the police with my cell phone."

Cross-examination:

"I was on my way to my friend's house, which was up in the mountains, when I passed by the open doors of the channeling chamber."

Hold it!

"Y-You had been walking up there?" Asked Phoenix, "why not just drive?"

"It was RIGHT THERE okay!" Yelled April, "just because I'm a woman doesn't mean I can't walk a few steps uphill!"

Franziska whipped Phoenix "stop asking foolish questions, fool!"

"When I recognized a man I thought I'd never see again—Victor Dash!"

Hold it!

"How did you know Victor Dash?" Asked Phoenix

"I read magazine's you know!" Exclaimed April "I read an article about him on: 'Oh! Cult!'

"I stopped to make sure it was him, when I saw that hippie nun shoot Victor!"

Objection!

Phoenix pulled out a map of the crime scene, with marks of where the killer and the victim were standing.

"I'm sorry Miss May, but there's no way you could've known that the victim was Victor Dash." Phoenix began to explain; pointing at the victim mark on the diagram, "he would've been facing the wall, you wouldn't be able to see his face and identify him!"

"A-a-a-AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" April yelled, jumping back a little as if being pushed by a strong wind.

Franziska began to sweat

"F-Fine! I confess! I didn't see anything! I'm not the real witness!" April admitted; "Victor Dash was my ex-boyfriend, we were so happy together. Then he dumped me! For that hippie nun chick! He said he wanted to help Kurain or some random crap like that. My friend Mori was the real witness…"

The Judge slammed his gavel down.

"Ms. Von Karma! You will have the real witness here by tomorrow! Court is adjourned!"

How was that for a long chapter? Please rate and review.
