I rushed over to Luke. Yet Mr. Wright picked him up anyways.
Who's the professor Luke?
*SLAP*
Oww! Athena what the heck!
"He's already upset about him/her! Don't make it worse!" Athena snapped.
(Ow my butt hurts. Guess I should shut up about the professor. )
"It's alright. Umm What's your name again?" Luke asked.
Apollo Justice, ace attorney!
Luke took a step back.
Sorry if I was a bit too loud for you.
"No it's not that. Apollo Justice. Well with a name like yours.. who wouldn't be a lawyer!" Luke said cheerfully.
" I'm Athena Cykes!" Athena continued.
"So Luke why is the Professor accused of murder, if you're ready?" Mr. Wright asked.
"If you feel like you need cheering up I can always do a magic trick with Apollo!" Trucey chimed in.
Wait I never agreed to that!
Luke snickered.
(At least she didn't have to put me in a box to make him laugh)
"Ok I think I'm ready now."Luke said still laughing in between.
We all sat on the couch except for Luke who stood in front of us to tell the story.
"The professor and the victim Comet S. Ucide were in a locked kitchen. The Kitchen was big as this office since it was for an inn. You can't see from other side since there is a wall. The Professor was only in there because he forgot something. He didn't tell me what though sadly."(Sounds awfully suspicious. Hopefully Luke doesn't testify wait. My bracelet is reacting please don't tell me he's lying!)
Luke! Please don't lie. Not now please.
Luke was taken by surprise he fell onto the piano making chords of annoyance not steel.
I glance over at Mr. Wright I guess he saw the lie too. Athena was covering her ears. I think she heard discord in his heart. Or my excessive yelling.  Probably the yelling.
"Luke... What's going on?" Trucey asked while putting her magic rings away.
Luke started to tear up.
"Luke what did he say to you?" Mr. Wright asked " It may be decisive evidence for our case."
"He forgot his... He forgot hi-*sob*"
Athena!
"Apollo,"Athena winced," Don't yell. My hearing remember?"
Oops my bad sorry Athena. Can you you your emotion scanner. You know your psychology skills?
"Ok buddy lets start up!" Athena said excited.
