Location: Outside the Prosecutor's Office, Germany

Emma was walking up the steps of the Prosecutor's Office to the front door when her phone rang. She stopped and grabbed her phone from her back pocket.

"Wright." She answered as she went through the doors.

"Hi Auntie Emma! It's me again!" Trucy said. Emma chuckled and went towards the stair case.

"Hey Truce! What happened this time? Your Dad get run over by a car?" Emma joked, climbing up the stairs to the 5th floor.

"Ummm…" Trucy went quiet all of a sudden. Emma stopped at the door to the 5th floor corridor, holding the door open.

"Trucy…" Emma said in a stern voice. "Did Nicki get hit by a car?" She asked. She heard Trucy sigh over the phone.

"Yeah, yesterday. He is at Hic Field Clinic with a sprained ankle…" Emma had walked up to one of the offices and banged her head against the door.

"I will be there in a few hours okay?" Emma said, pulling her free hand through her hair.

"Okay Auntie Emma. See you soon!" Trucy cheerful voice made Emma smile slightly, despite the news she had just been given. The phone clicked off and Emma put it back in her back pocket before opening the office door and going in.

Sat at a large desk was Miles Edgeworth, who was back over here to clearing up more paperwork before moving back to LA. He looked up when Emma entered his office.

"Ah Emma. What are you doing here? I am almost complete with this paperwork so I should be ready to fully move back by next week." He said, as he continued to sign off said paperwork. Emma sighed.

"Yeah about that…" Emma pulled a hand through her hair again. "Nicki got hit by a car so we need to go now." Miles froze before looking up at Emma, with a petrified look on his face.

"What…" He choked out. Emma sighed again and sat down on a chair.

"Nicki got hit by a car. We need to get back to LA." She said. Before she had even finished her sentence Miles was on the phone.

"Hello I would like to book 3 one way tickets to Los Angeles please. Yes the next flight over."

Location: Hic Field Clinic Lobby, California

Emma walked in to the lobby with Liam and Miles in tow and walked up to the receptionist desk.

"Good evening. Could you tell me what room Mr Phoenix Wright is in please?" She asked, tiredness clear in her voice. The receptionist looked up from her magazine and her eyes widened. Talk about de ja vu… Emma thought to herself.

"Are you THE Emma Wright?" She asked. Emma sighed and nodded.

"Yes I am but I would really like to know where my brother is please." Emma said, tapping her foot slightly. She felt a hand squeeze her shoulder. She turned her head slightly to see Liam smiling gently at her. Emma returned the smile before turning around back to the receptionist.

"Sorry Ms Wright. Mr Wright is in room 207, down the corridor and the 5th door to the right." Emma nodded her thanks and went down the corridor with Liam and Miles following. When she got to room 207, she breathed in deeply then released the air before swinging the door open.

"NICKI! FIRST YOU GET ARRESTED FOR MURDER, NOW YOU GET HIT BY A CAR! DO YOU HAVE SOME KIND OF FLIPPING DEATH WISH?!" Emma shouted as she walked up to the side of his bed. Phoenix was sat there in shock, eyes wide and mouth open. Liam and Miles had stepped into the room, Miles walking over next to Emma.

"Wright…" He growled. Phoenix shook his head and pulled his beanie over his eyes while scratching the back of his neck.

"Ummm… Hi?" Phoenix said. Emma narrowed her eyes at him and stepped forward but was distracted by Liam.

"Ooof." Emma, Miles and Phoenix turned to the door where Liam was standing. Next to him was Trucy and a young man with his hair pulled back with two antenna like spikes. Emma raised an eyebrow at them. Trucy was looking at Liam.

"Sorry sir!" She said before turning around. Her eyes widened and covered her mouth with her hands. She gasped. "Auntie Emma! Papa Miles! You're here!" She ran over to them and gave them a massive hug.

"Hey Truce! Since when were you nearly as tall as me?" Emma asked, raising an eyebrow, her head cocked to the side. Trucy giggled.

"Hello Trucy." Miles said, a slight blush on his cheeks. Emma noticed and chuckled.

"Anyway, Trucy I would like you to meet Liam. Liam this is my niece Trucy and, as you might have guessed, the moron in the bed who looks like a flipping hobo, is my idiotic brother Phoenix." Phoenix was about to object but a look from Emma and Miles shut him up. Trucy turned back to Liam.

"Hello Uncle Liam I'm Trucy Wright. I'm a magician!" She said and, before anyone could say anything, Mr Hat popped up causing Liam to jump back a little in surprise.

"Hello Mr Liam, pleasure to meet you!" Mr Hat said. Liam chuckled and shook his head.

"Nice to meet you too Ms Trucy, Mr Hat." Liam smiled and glanced up at Emma, whose face was bright red. Emma shook her head and looked over at the red dressed attorney.

"I take that you are Apollo correct?" Emma asked. The attorney's eyes widened as he saw who exactly was in the room and cleared his throat.

"Yes I am, and you must be Ms Emma Wright?" He asked. Emma nodded and pointed her head at Miles.

"Correct and this is Miles Edgeworth." Miles bowed his head slightly but was still looking over at Phoenix. There was an awkward silence before Trucy spoke up again.

"Now you are here Auntie Emma, can you help me and Polly investigate for the trial tomorrow?" She asked. Emma gave her a confused look.

"What trial?" She asked slowly. Trucy smiled and grabbed Emma's hand and started to drag her out the room.

"Polly and I will explain on the way. Uncle Liam can come with us. Let's go!" She said, dragging Emma behind her. Emma sighed and looked over at Phoenix.

"We are not done here yet. I will be back later. Polly, Liam, you're with us." And with that Emma and Trucy were out the room. Liam cleared his throat.

"I suppose we should be going." He turned to look at Apollo. "After you Mr Justice." Apollo nodded and walked out the room. Liam nodded at the two remaining people in the room before leaving himself. When the door closed Phoenix looked at Miles.

"Hey." He said quietly. Miles sighed and sat down in the chair next to Phoenix's bed.

"Wright – Phoenix – what happened? And don't try and bluff your way out." Miles said looking at Phoenix with worried eyes. Phoenix sighed and grabbed Miles' hand.

"I was walking over to work and a car hit me. I went flying and hit my head on a metal pole and…" He was interrupted by Miles standing up, taking his hand out of Phoenix's hold.

"YOU WHAT!?" He said loudly. Miles took Phoenix's hat off and started to examine his head. Phoenix grabbed both of Miles' hands and pulled at them so he was face-to-face to the worried prosecutor. He looked him in the eyes. After a minute or 2, they smiled and chuckled at each other. Miles gave Phoenix a quick kiss on the lips. "I'm glad you're alright Phoenix." He whispered. Phoenix smiled and used one of his hands to pull Miles' head back down, and gave him a longer kiss.

"Me too…" Phoenix whispered as he pulled away. He moved over, gesturing Miles to lie next to him. Miles sighed in feigned annoyance and took of his jacket and waist coat, putting them gently over the back of the chair, before climbing next to Phoenix. Phoenix snuggled into Miles' side and sighed. Where do we go from here…? He thought.

Please review and tell me what you think! :D
