Location: Defence Lobby, California

Apollo walked into the defence lobby briskly, only to find Emma already there, lying on one of the sofas. She got up as she heard the door open.

"Hey Polly Pocket! You ready for today?" She asked, smiling at him. Apollo was about to answer, when the door opened and in stepped Liam and Trucy followed by Miles and Phoenix. Miles looked at Emma and frowned slightly.

"Did you sleep in your contacts again Emma?" He asked. Emma sighed and took off her glasses before rubbing her eyes.

"Yeah. They were really red and sore this morning so after taking my lenses out I had to put about half a bottle of eyes drops in each before putting on my glasses." Emma put her glasses back on. They had black frames and made her look very sophisticated. Just then Apollo realised what Emma had said to him. He slouched, his hair drooping.

"H-h-hey! Did you just call me "Polly Pocket"? How did you even come up with that?" He asked. Emma grinned while the other stifled their laughter.

"Yep!" She said, popping the 'p' and shrugged her shoulders. "Polly Pocket was a doll that loads of girls used to have when I was a kid. You could dress her up and stuff, like a mini version of a Barbie doll really." She smiled as Apollo just raised an eyebrow. Emma then cocked her head to the side. "I actually remember my sister having a game boy game about Polly Pocket…" She said trailing off. Trucy then spoke out.

"Auntie Emma, what's a Gameboy?" She asked. Emma shook her head and looked down at Trucy with a surprised look on her face. She then smirked and shook her head from side to side. She placed a hand on Trucy's shoulder.

"Trucy, Trucy, Trucy, I have so much to teach you about." She grinned. "The Gameboy was the first handheld games console ever made." She took her hand from Trucy's shoulder and put it up to her chin, while her other hand went to her hip and had a reminiscent look on her face. "I might have Emma-Lee's old Gameboy somewhere that you can play with. Mine has been… Adjusted slightly…" Emma trailed off, scratching the back of her neck, looking slightly sheepish.

"As in you took it apart and it is basically rendered useless?" Phoenix commented. Emma glared at him before turning back to Trucy, who smiled at her.

"Okay thanks Auntie Emma!" She said before giving Emma a hug, which she returned. Just then the door opened. Everyone looked towards the door and Klavier poked his head in. He looked over at Emma. He raised an eyebrow at her and Emma sighed.

"I slept in my contacts last night so I had to put on my glasses." She said, pushing said glasses up with her thumb and forefinger.

"Ach, okay. Emma could have a word bitte." Emma raises an eyebrow but nods and walks to the door. She leans on the door frame with door still open and Klavier outside.

"Hey Rocky, what do you need?" She asked. Klavier handed her a small bunch of papers. She looked over them and noticed they were all written in Borginian. She frowned and looked up at Klavier. "I take it you want me to translate this for you, right?" She asked raising an eyebrow again. Klavier sighed and nodded.

"Ja, I can speak some Borginian, but not enough to translate all this. I know you have knowledge of many languages, ja?" He asked. Emma nodded slowly and looked over the pages. "It is about my special guest for my next concert so…" Emma interrupted.

"Don't let anyone else find out what it says, got it." She looked up from looking over the papers and smiled. "I can get them done for you by the end of the day, depending on how long the trial goes on for." Klavier smiled back.

"Danke Emma." He said before looking over her shoulder and winking. "See you in court." And with that he walked off. Emma had a bemused look on her face as she turned her head to look behind her. Apollo was looking at a wall, crossed arms and red cheeks. Emma looked over at the others in the room and held up a finger, signalling for them to be quiet. Phoenix raised an eyebrow but smirked, realising what she was about to do.

"See you in court Herr Forehead." She said in such a way, that it sounded exactly like Klavier. Apollo jumped and looked over to where the voice came from, wide eyes but scowled when he saw that it was just Emma pretending to be Klavier, hands on her hips, bent towards him. The others, including Emma, started laughing.

"Sorry Polly Pocket, but that was so worth it." Emma managed to say while still laughing. After a couple of minutes everyone calmed down and Emma went over to her bag to put the papers in. Phoenix then cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.

"Talking about Prosecutor Gavin, I happen to know that he will be calling Alita as his witness in today's trial." He said. Emma nodded with a slight smile on her face.

"Okay thanks Nicki. You, Miles, Liam and Trucy should head up to the gallery, the defendant should be here any minute." Emma said looking over at them. They nodded and headed out the lobby. Liam was the last to leave and gave Emma a smile. Emma smiled back and Liam left the room, closing the door behind him. When Emma looked back over at Apollo, he had a smirk on his face. "What?" She asked, glaring slightly. Apollo just chuckled and shook his head. Just as Emma was about to protest, the door of the lobby opened again and a guard walked in with Wocky.

"Yo was' up dogg? You got this chick with ya again?" He said. The bailiff then came in and informed them that the trial was about to begin.

"Well, shall we?" Emma said, nodding her head towards the door. Apollo nodded and they, along with Wocky walked into the court room.
