AN: To zeh first chapter!
Chapter One:
Roaches don't just live in our apartment.
"Okay. I'll head to the prosecutors office and you to Wright's." Ryoko confirmed so the readers knew what was going on this chapter. Naomi nodded to show that this was their plan all along.
"And remember Naomi, we can't fan girl."
"Not even a little bit." Naomi pouted and Ryoko shook her head. "Damn."
The two girls head off in different directions. Ryoko had absolutely no clue where she was going. In fact, she doubted it would have been helpful even if she did play Ace Attorney. Yes, you see, even though she was a huge Edgeworth fan girl she'd never played any of the games. Reason one, she didn't have a DS, but she did had a Wii. However reason two, she could never find the games. It made her a little weepy. Though thanks to wikipedia, Naomi telling her crap, and random doujins she was determined to make Phoenix and Edgeworth a couple. Preferably with Edgeworth as seme.
She came to a building that said PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE.
"I am to assume that this is the place." She spoke before entering the rather large building.
When she walked in there was a young lady in twenties managing the front desk. She had vague features, brown hair, brown eyes, fair skin, and a face you've seen a thousand times.
"Why how may I help you little girl?" She asked in a bittersweet tone. Ryoko was not a 'little girl' she was fifteen. People drove at her age. Just not her. Because she didn't want to take the classes.
The inventor slammed her hands on the desk.
"I need a job." She said bluntly.
"Um. I don't think we have any jobs any-"
"PLEASE! I NEEEEEEEEEEED A JOOOOOOOOB!" Ryoko pleaded. Using her puppy eyes.
"I'm sorry but-" The girl was cut off again.
"Listen, I need a job here. It can't be anywhere else. Understand?" The fan girl spoke as if she were in the mafia.
"Why here?" The brunette panicked.
Ryoko lied about how it had always been her dream to be a prosecutor. Ever since her mother, a prosecutor, burned after being slaughtered Jack the Ripper style in a high stakes game of old maid. And her father, also a prosecutor, went bankrupt and drowned in a pool of urine by some guy from the Ukraine. How the Ukrainian man filled an entire pool with 100% urine, the authorities will never know.
The naïve secretary believed the blatant lie and took pity on Ryoko.
"Wow, I'm so sorry!" She cried. "Let's see. I think both Mr. Godot and Mr. Edgeworth need assistants."
"Edgeworth." Ryoko replied.
It was amazing what one could accomplish with the combination of good acting and detailed lying. Nothing is out of your reach when you're a seme. Which if Ryoko were a gay male she'd totally be. Although given her height this was highly unlikely.
She knocked on Edgeworth's door.
"Come in." Edgeworth's voice called. The door opened to reveal a small girl with black hair cut into a short bob. She looked Hispanic, though Edgeworth had known not to judge people by what they looked like. After all the most colorful butterfly is the one that's poisonous. The young girl crept into the room.
You know this girl as Ryoko, of course.
"OMFG! Edgeworth, I love you!" Her uncontrollable fan girly-ness got the better of her. The sly prosecutor looked at her confused. "Er work. I love your work."
That was a close one.
"Really? What case is your favorite?" Edgeworth asked.
Shit.
"I honestly can't choose… ha ha ha." Ryoko scratched the back of her neck. She had to change the subject fast. "Mr. Edgeworth, I'm your new assistant."
"I see. Then you must prove yourself first. Bring me some coffee." The lawyer demanded.
"BAM! Already got it." Ryoko smiled as she brought out a coffee cup.
"Where did you even get that from?" Edgeworth looked concerned.
"You don't want to know." Ryoko replied.
Somewhere Godot was missing his coffee.
Naomi trekked across the land. The heat bare down on her. she had been traveling for hours, searching for Phoenix's office.
"I can make it any farther." She said flopping down on the sidewalk. "Let the scavengers take me. It's all up to you now Ryoko."
As she was saying her last goodbyes to the world she vaguely heard footsteps behind for.
"Um… are you okay?" A voice asked. It was certainly female.
Naomi looked up to see long black hair with a bun on top. Well, there was a face and body but Naomi was too exhausted to care.
"Ma-Maya?" She faintly said before passing out.
Although the young girl thought she'd been traveling for miles, in fact she had been going in circles. The office wasn't actually that far from the park she started out at. So, when she was lying on the pavement she was really right in front of her destination.
"Is she going to be okay?" Naomi heard more voices as she began to open her eyes.
"Ah, she's awake!"
"That's good."
"W-where am-" Naomi started but then quickly realized that PHOENIX WRIGHT was in front of her. "THE PHOENIX!"
"Eh?" Phoenix looked slightly confused.
Naomi attempted to calm herself remembering why she was there in the first place.
"Mr. The Phoenix, my name's Naomi, I need a job." She said bluntly. "As anything."
"Well, Maya's already my assistant, so I don't thi-"
"PLEASE!" Naomi exclaimed. "I need this job. Me and my friend are on our own. I need to get a job."
"But… why here?" Phoenix asked.
"Mr. Wright, I have to plan for my future. Besides, I'm sure having another assistant would take the work off Maya." Naomi explained, trying to be as convincing as possible.
"I really don't have that much wo-" Maya was abruptly cut off.
"Then I'll do things that she doesn't. I'll help with court cases, file formal complaints, type documents. ANYTHING!" All but helping with court cases was a lie.
"Okay, okay. You can work as my assistant." Phoenix really just wanted to shut the girl up. "How about you get me some coffee?"
"YES SIR!" Naomi skipped off the kitchen-like area.
When got there she quickly remembered that she didn't drink coffee, therefore she had no clue how to use the coffee maker. She stared at the machine. Which button to press? Was it the black one or the black one? What was she supposed to do first?
She looked around for Maya who might know how to work the damn thing. However the mystic was in the other room with Phoenix. The teen didn't want to look bad in front of her new employer and favorite lawyer.
Naomi opened the refrigerator. There was only leftovers and a carton of orange juice. She grabbed a mug from the cabinet above her. Then she picked up the orange juice and poured it into the cup. Hey, it was better than nothing. She sighed as she then put away the juice.
She walked into the other room where the attorney was waiting.
"Thanks, Naomi." He said as she handed him the mug. She smiled at him. He looked in the mug and back at her. "Um… this is orange juice."
"Yes."
"I asked for coffee." He responded.
"Yes, but orange juice is better for you! Coffee gives you wrinkles!" Naomi pointed out. "I'm looking after your health, Mr. The Phoenix."
"Erm, thanks?" Phoenix just shrugged and drank his orange juice.
The two fans met up later in the park.
"So, you got the job?" Ryoko asked.
"Jah." Naomi grinned.
"Great. I also found us an apartment… but it's a little shabby." Ryoko sighed.
"Nothing a little elbow grease can't fix." Her companion grinned.
"Yeah, you do that." The shorter girl responded.
"You are so damn spoiled!" Naomi sighed.
Little did Naomi know that it would take more than a little elbow grease. They went to said apartment and BEHOLD, it was a shit hole.
The neighbors could be heard from the inside of the two room apartment. The living room and the kitchen were together, there was no visible bedroom. The only other room was the bathroom. Ryoko advised Naomi not to go in. That advise was taken. The walls were discolored for a mysterious reason that even the landlady didn't know. The floor creaked with every step one took.
"A little shabby?" Naomi grumbled.
"Under exaggeration." Ryoko responded.
A roach crawled up the wall and the two girls screamed.
"There's FUCKING COCKROACHES." Naomi screeched.
"Ew!" Ryoko hated bugs. Especially cockroaches.
"Well, we'll have to face more roaches when are in the courtroom." Naomi sighed.
"Tomorrow we should ask the question." Ryoko nodded.
"What?"
"Phoenix, what do you think about Edgeworth?" Ryoko said. "And to Edgeworth: What do you think about Mr. Wright?"
"Oh… yeah. Okay."
NEXT TIME ON TO GET THEM TOGETHER:
IT'S CHRISTMAS! Not in the real world BUT HERE IT IS! Filled with awesome trees and childhood dreams. Or not. What will Naomi and Ryoko plan this time? BOM BOM BOM!
"I've never had a real Christmas tree…"
"NO ONE WANTS A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS TREE!"
"IT'S FUCKING COLD!"
"A gift?"
