Chapter 3: Happenings
Trucy woke up bright and early with the sun in her eyes making lazy patterns across the room. She looked at the time: 6:47 AM. She sighed and got out of bed with Apollo snoring next to her. Quickly she grabbed her purse and went into the kitchen. Poured herself a glass of orange juice and noticed some bacon in the fridge. Oh Polly, I'm sorry. I really am. But I can't stay for breakfast. I need to get out of here. And fast...

Trucy opened the door to the Wright Anything Talent Agency and found Phoenix sitting on the sofa in his normal sandals, black pants, gray sweater, and of course, a blue beanie and drinking his so called grape juice. Phoenix glared at Trucy as she walked in.
"Where were you last night?"
"Uh... I was at Polly's..." Trucy flustered and started to blush. Looking down at her shoes in utter silence. She looked up again and noticed that Phoenix was still glaring at her.
"Daddy, what's wrong?"
"Oh, I don't know," Phoenix said sarcastically. "Let's just say that you scared Edgeworth away yesterday. Then you go and sleep over Apollo's house without telling me. Then you don't tell Apollo that you two are half brother and sister. You don't end your relationship, and who knows what else!" Phoenix frowned and took another swig of grape juice and still stared at Trucy.
Trucy shook her head sadly. "You don't understand," Without another word she marched off to the kitchen. Phoenix followed her.
"No, you're the one not understanding. Look, we need to talk. Now."
'No! I'm, um... Sick! We can talk, when I feel better?"
Phoenix frowned, "Trucy, you look fine. Just please, let's talk about this."
Trucy shook her head while opening a packet of soup. " No, Daddy! Soup first! Pleeease?"
Phoenix scowled and threw his bottle of grape juice in the trash. "Fine. But before that, I'm going to tell you something else," He leaned against the wall with his arms crossed and tilted his head toward the ceiling. He sighed and shut his eyes. "I'm going to retake my bar exam."
"What!?" Trucy shrieked and dropped the packet of soup on the floor. Soup powder and vegetables scattered everywhere. "B-but you can't do that! That's stealing Polly's job!"
"I'm not stealing his job. He'll still have it," He looked down and played with the zipper of his sweater. "These seven years, from when I first lost my attorney's badge when your father was my client... All I tried to do was gather evidence to lock up Kristoph Gavin. Now that he's in jail where he belongs, I want to become the lawyer I used to be. Now after seeing Apollo, I can't help but think about it again. Y'know? Also a... friend contacted me."
"Yeah? Who? Mr. Edgeworth?"
"Well, now that Edgeworth is back he might be able to help me..."
"Oh, so you're just going to use Edgeworth just to get your badge back? What a great way to treat a friend."
Phoenix frowned, and came over to her. "No, it's not just Edgeworth. It's mostly Maya. Trucy, what's gotten into you?"
"N-nothing! I just want some soup..." She sadly looked down at the soup powder on the floor.
Phoenix obviously didn't believe her but sighed and opened a cupboard. "Go upstairs and get some rest. I'll make the soup."
"Really? Thanks Daddy!" she grabbed her purse and was running up the stairs when there was a knock on the door.

Earlier
Apollo woke up around 7:30 and smelled the morning air.
"Good morning Herr Forehead. You sleep rather long, ja?" Apollo's eyes instantly flew open and he sat up straight. Staring at Klavier Gavin sitting in a chair. Apollo gulped and looked around the room.
"Where's Trucy!?"
Klavier frowned "I don't know what you're talking about."
"It doesn't matter. How did you get in?"
"The front door was unlocked. You should really be more careful, ja?"
Apollo leapt to his feet in record time and opened the door.
"I'm sorry Klavier but I have to go. Bye!"
"But, I have some important information to give you about the-"
The door slammed shut and Apollo was already running down the street before Klavier could even finish his sentence.

Phoenix opened the door to Wright Anything Talent Agency, so to return to its second and best known name, Wright and Co. Law Offices. Phoenix was quite shocked to find Apollo standing at his door without his usual red vest and suit and his hair perfectly flat.
"W-where's Trucy?" Apollo blurted out, his voice shook with panic.
"Upstairs, why?"
Apollo sighed in relief the he quickly became angry.
"Excuse me Mr. Wright, but can I go talk to her for a minute?"
Phoenix grinned, "Sure, of course. Go right ahead."
Apollo thanked Phoenix and ran up the stairs right to Trucy's room and opened the door, without knocking. Trucy was sitting on the floor staring at a photo. Trucy looked up and saw Apollo with the same exact clothes he fell asleep in yesterday. She quickly shoved the photo back into her purse.
"P-Polly! Um, what are you doing here?"
Apollo leaned in and she could see that he was angry. "The same could be said to you, why did you leave without telling me? I had bacon and everything. I thought you were kidnapped!"
Trucy laughed, "Oh Polly, you overreact too much. I'm fine, see? I'm just kinda sick. Daddy is making me soup," She looked down, "You can go home now. I don't want you to catch what I have."
Apollo frowned and stood up, "Well, okay... Trucy, do you mind if I ask what you were looking at when I came in?
"Oh, err that? It was nothing! Really! Just something that I found on the street. That's all!" Trucy said as she managed a sheepish grin.
Apollo felt a familiar sensation on his wrist. His bracelet was tightening.
"Trucy, I know you're not telling me the truth, since last night I know something's up. What is it?"
"Nothing! You're just overacting, again." Trucy stood up and began to push Apollo out of her room. She managed to open the door and nearly fell over when she found Phoenix in front of her room. He grinned.
"Apollo, I think Trucy has something she needs to tell you."
Yay I finally finished chapter three! I know, I know. I made Phoenix sound like such a bad/mean father. :( And I also have no idea why I added the part about him wanting to retake his bar exam. And I also made Klavier sound like such a stalker watching Apollo sleep. And before you ask, no. I am not a fan of Klavier/Apollo, It's Klema for me all the way! :D Please review?
