Klapollo Ace Attorney *Apollo justice*

"The Fiancée's Testimony"

to say apollo was a nervous wreck would be a huge understatement, his mind was so focused on this case, he barely noticed trucy walking towards him

'This is it, the big day! Did you get any sleep?'

she asked in her usual cheery voice, apollo nodded once as he tried to sound energetic

'Yeah, I went to bed at 1:00 AM or so'

'Oh? What time did you wake up?'

he hestiated before he answered her

'...3:00 AM'

he was up all night worrying about this case, he was studying so much he crashed into his book, falling asleep, trucy looked at him with a worried expression, apollo hated it whenever people would do that, that's why he was never really open about himself, ..about his depression and anxiety..

'That's only two hours, Apollo... But, at least you have me! ...And the Amazing Mr. Hat!'

she smiled as he pressed down on her bag, and mr hat appeared as if it was magic, which it probably 

'Here's looking at you, kid'

apollo rolled his eyes at them, but appreciated the support, then, he heard a very familiar voice in the distance, that was slowly approaching more and more closer 

'hey apollo'

 he turned his head around and his eyes shot out in surprise, apollo stumbled on his feet as he quickly straightened up his back, his boss was right their in front of him, tall and intimidating as ever, dressed in his usual black/dark blue attier

'...M-Mr. Wright! Sir'

he greeted respectfully, phoenix nodded a "good morning to him", he looked more better then before, less tired but still slightly anxious

'I wanted to see your skills for myself so i checked myself out for the day'

"h-he's going to be watching me?!, i better not show any weakness!"

this was his chance to show jsut how great he was in front of his boss without his help at all, trucy beamed, excited to have her dad watch her and apollo in court

'Daddy! Do you know who Prosecutor Gavin's witness is today?'

she asked, phoenix nodded

'Alita Tiala. Your client's fiancée'

apollo's eyes widen slightly

"She's going to be a witness!?"

'But that seems odd... Why would she testify against her own fiancé?'

she asked, phoenix narrowed his eyes at both of them, apollo really wished he knew what he as thinking, mr wright was a mysterious guy, and very hard to read

'You have to wonder what Gavin's up to.'

was all he said, apollo nodded nervously

'Something's going down today, that much is clear!'

he grumbled, trucy then patted him on his beck encouragingly

'Well, not to worry. I've got my panties back. If we can't find a killer, I'll pull one out of there!'

phoenix patted her daughters head, smiling at her a little, then gave apollo an encouraging look before heading inside of the courthouse, apollo took in a deep breathe and mumbled to himself

'i'm fine! i'm fine!'

the judge banged down his gavel as he announced the start of the trial

'Court is now in session for the trial of Wocky Kitaki'

apollo nodded confidently, trying his best to hide his nerves

'The defense is ready, Your Honor'

klavier snapped his fingers together into a music rythum motion as he smiled his usual smile

'...Prosecution is warmed up, and it's a sold-out house'

the judge nodded

'Very well, to recap... While yesterday's witness seemed more guilty than any other party...'

he trailed off, not really sure on how to put the words together, trucy pouted as she huffed out in irritation, still satly about the while thieving incident

'Guilty of panty-snatching!'

'We did find out one thing for certain. There were three people in the park at the time of the murder: The witness, the victim, and the defendant'

the judge added on, klavier continued the rest from their

'...Correct, Herr Judge. And today, I'd like to do something a little new age. I'd like to look at this horrible crime... from the outside'

apollo looked up at him a little confused

'The "outside"...?'

'The acquisition of the murder weapon... The preparation for the act... Our poor defendant told all, you see. ...To his betrothed'

the judge tried to repeat this words

'His... bee trove?'

klavier blinked at him

'...His fiancée, Herr Judge. His partner for life... with no chance for parole'

the judge nodded, agreeing to klavier's request

'Very well, you may show the erm... "lucky" lady to the stand'

the judge said polity, though he wasn't sure just how lucky the lady could be marrying a wanted criminal

apollo watched as alita made her way to the stand, as proper and posed as ever, klavier turned his to face her, putting his one hand in his pocket

'...Your name and occupation, Fräulein'

he aksed, alita put on her fake smile as she introduced herself to the court

'Alita Tiala. My occupation... is future wife'

the judge nodded understandingly

'Ah, traditional values! I respect that. Too many brides these days can't even weave baskets blindfolded... underwater. Yet you're here today as a witness for the prosecution?'

'To be honest, I didn't want to testify at first. But... I couldn't hide the truth'

she admitted, apollo wasn't sure why, but he felt something off about that

'Hmm. Honesty! Another admirable trait'

the judge admitted, from the corner of apollo's eyes, he could see klavier was studying alita like she was a puzzle book

'...Fräulein, is it true that, on the day of the crime... ...the defendant, Wocky Kitaki confessed his plans? His plans... for murder?'

'...Yes'

she said, the judge then banged down his gavel

'The witness will please give her testimony to the court!'

the judge ordered, apollo wasn't sure what he was expecting, but he had to roll with the punches, he took out his notebook and pen, and started to write as fast as he could
