Best Friends....
That's what we'd been. Whenever we were together, we were both smiling. We were incredibly close. So close that if we'd been like 16, people would have started mistaking us for a couple. However, this closeness, soon led to a promise that we made when we were both 9. We were sitting eating our lunch with Phoenix and Larry when Miles had spoken up, "You know, (Y/n). When we're grown up, I'm going to make it one of my goals to marry you." I smiled and hugged him, "I'd love that! Promise?"
"I promise," he replied. I smiled and hugged him tighter.
However, that promise was soon forgotten.... A certain 'incident' happened and it tore away my best friend from me: DL-6. Miles' father was murdered one day during the Christmas holidays and as he had no other relatives, Miles went to live with von Karma, meaning he had to move school. I was broken when Phoenix had told me what had happened and that he didn't even say goodbye to any of us. Even though I hadn't been directly involved in the incident, it had an effect on me, whether it was a good or bad one, well, you'll just have to wait and see. I started to dig myself into my studies, only leaving my room for food or going to the bathroom.

Then, when I was 20, a specific news article caught my attention and I decided what I wanted to do as a career: "New Prosecutor, Miles Edgeworth Wins First Case!" That was when I decided I wanted to become a defence attorney, in the hopes that I'd meet him in court sometime and then I could talk to him afterwards. This happened, I got my attorney's badge at the age of 22 and Mia immediately took me under her wing once Phoenix had told her I had been looking for a place to work after he'd been freed after being accused of Doug's murder. Unfortunately, I realised once I had had my first case against Miles, that he'd changed a lot. It also broke my heart when I realised that he'd probably forgotten about the promise we'd made as kids.
-------------------PHOENIX'S POV (TS to after Turnabout Samurai)
"Edgeworth, wait!"
He turned around, "What is it, Wright?"
"I have two things actually. 1. Thanks in there, Vasquez would have gone free if you hadn't stepped in. and 2. Do you remember that promise you and (Y/n) made with each other when we were kids?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about Wright, what promise?"
"The one about you saying you were going to marry her. Do you remember that?"
He rolled his eyes, "Yes, I remember now..."
"And do you intend to keep that promise?"
"Why are you asking this, Wright? I just said that together to shut up. It was just a silly little thing and I hadn't intended to keep it from the start."
There was then the sound of papers falling to the ground and crying. I turned around to see (Y/N) crouching picking up some papers before she stood up and dashed out the courthouse, snivelling to herself as if trying not to cry. Maya turned to Edgeworth after watching the same scene as me, "Edgeworth, come here for one second." he raised an eyebrow before turning to Maya, "Yes? What is it, Miss Fey?"
