Klapollo Ace Attorney *Apollo justice*

"Floral Tea"

back at the office, apollo was sitting by the window seat, watching the outside view, the birds flying around, the glass and trees moving to the wind, ..it was, ..calming, and after that trial, that's what apollo needed, ..calmness, trucy was making herself and apollo some tea to drink, her papa recommended her floral tea, which was now starting to become her favourite

'...What a train wreck that was. I'm glad we made it out of that trial alive'

he said, his eyes still glued to the window, he thanked trucy as he took the cup of tea from her hands

'Really? I had fun! And Wocky made it through the day, too!'

she said as she sat across from him from the seat, she had never been in a courthouse before, it was fun

'...Everyone was too obsessed with panties to bother with the real case'

'But it was good publicity! Imagine the crowd at my show tonight! You should come, Polly!'

she cheered, looking on the bright side of things, apollo wasn't really sure on what else to say

'Yeah...'

trucy then smiled as she pulled down her pouch, and out came mr hat

;The Amazing Mr. Hat will be making an appearance!'

she started to move her pouch up and down

'Hi, folks! I'll be here all week!'

apollo sighed as he had enough mr hat for one day

'That's about enough of him'

suddenly, a knock came at the door, and a woman stepped inside

'Hello...?'

alita said polity, trucy smiled as she greeted her

'Ah! Ms. Tiala!'

'Thank you for today. The trial... went well'

she said, not trying to make apollo feel bad, ..it had went better then she had expected, apollo straighted up his back as he put away the tea up, getting up on his feet

'Oh, right! No problem!'

'Do you think Wocky will be OK?'

apollo wasn't really sure on what to say to that

"Well, he's not guilty... yet"

she then frowned as she begged once more

'Please, you have to help him! We're supposed to get married next month...'

'Oh, congratulations!'

"Gah, way to put the pressure on a guy..."

he thought anxiously, it was already bad enough his life was basically on the line if he lost, ..and now, he had to worry about an upcoming wedding, ..great..

'Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help!'

'Are you sure about marrying into the Kitaki Family...?'

he asked, ..not really understanding why anyone would marry into a very dangerous crime family, she simply smiled at him

'I'm fine with it. And I love Wocky with all my heart'

she said in a dreamy like voice, trucy beamed at her

'Aw, that's so sweet!'

'So it doesn't bother you that you'll be, erm... ...Married to the mob?'

she simply shrugged

'I don't think so... My parents are against it, of course'

'Say! Where did you and Wocky first meet, anyway?'

trucy asked her

"Good question... Ms. Tiala doesn't look like the type to have gangster connections..."

'Oh... We met at my old job, actually'

'Ah, office romance!'

trucy said, as if this was some sort of love tv show, apollo was expecting her to say more, but that's all she really said, 

"She's not very forthcoming with information about herself, is she?"

alita then changed the subject to somehing else

'Did you know that the boss is trying to get out of the "business"?'

'R-Really?'

"Mr. Kitaki wants to quit being a gangster!?"

'He's trying to transfer his assets into a normal company. He only announced it recently, out of the blue... I hear there's quite a lot of confusion in the ranks'

"Hmm. I wonder if this explains that apron?" 

'...I can't imagine Wocky going along with that'

he said, remembering how wocky was talking to his father eariler

'Hee hee. He's highly motivated, isn't he?'

'Um, that's not the word I would have used'

'He said, "I'll be the next Big Boss, and keep the Family alive." I think he's at that age when boys want to make a mark on the world'

she said with such happiness and glee, it made apollo question her sanity

"That's not the way I would have put it..."

'His father moves in a lot of circles... He's really focused on profits. The Kitaki Family's been making a killing recently!'

"Again, not the way I would have put it..."

'But Wocky says it's not about the money. They have the gangster tradition to uphold'

trucy "oohed" at that

'Ooh, a generation gap! They've even got the ever classic "what about the family business" thing going...'

'Usually, it's the father worried about tradition...'

apollo said, but then quickly changed the subject

'Can I ask you a question about Wocky? I understand he was operated on by the victim, Dr. Meraktis'

she nodded

'Apparently, ...Yes, it sounded horrible. Wocky has always been fond of fighting, I'm afraid...'

she grieved, putting on a sad face

'I'm not sure it qualifies as "fighting" when pistols are involved'

he said, but then, apollo remembered, about what mr gavin had said to come back at the courtroom

'Mr. Gavin was saying his life might be in danger, wasn't he?'

alita shook his head as she stuttered on her words, apollo couldn't blame her to much for being in-denial, it must be hard to know that the love of your life was at risk of dying

'N-No, that can't be right! I'm sure he was just trying to scare us'

trucy said, not liking this, and neither did apollo

'It's scary to think that a surgeon might make a mistake... ...but it's even scarier when he tries to hide it!'

"I'd like to know a little more about this "operation". Maybe it's time to pay the Meraktis Clinic a visit"

she then spoke up, cutting him off from his thoughts

'I should be getting home now. Wocky's in your hands, Mr. Justice'

apollo jumped a little as he anxiously replied

'R-R-Right! L-L-L-Leave it to me!'

trucy then lightly nudged at him with his elbow 

'Apollo, I think you're only making her more nervous...'

'Sorry! I'm new at this, OK?'

he apologized, alita laughed at the two

'Tee hee. It's alright. I believe in you'
