AN: well. This chap has no narumitsu(if we count out the fact that they're married in this AU). Also *shows off bloodstained clothes, wearing a blank face* i killed off some characters. Again.

Trucy walked back into the livingroom, a bowl of fresh popcorn in her hands. "I'm back!" Maya glanced back at her momnetrily from the television and trucy swore she could see stars in her eyes when her gaze landed on the bowl.

"Tonight is getting better and better!" Apollo rolled his eyes, his gaze not leaving the screen even for a second. "It's kinda amusing that you still can eat a bowl of popcorn after stuffing burgers in your mouth." Maya threw him a glare as trucy plopped down next to her brother and maya.

"What if i tell you i saved up some space for those fresh popcorns trucy made us with her magic?" Apollo snorted, reaching out to grab some popcorns.

"Unbelievable." Trucy spoke up before a fight could arouse between the two. "Shhh, guys! Things are getting interesting." The two turned to the tv so quick that for a moment trucy worried they might've snapped their own neck.

The room fell back into a comfortable silence, with only the crunch of them chewing on popcorns and the distinct humm of the tv as the background noise.

But the universe didn't seem to like the peaceful silence, as it was quickly broken by the sharp ring of a ringtone. Both the girls turned around to glare at the attorney, who in response gave a sheepish smile before fishing his phone out of his pocket. He stared down at the caller ID, brows furrowing in a thoughtful frown.

Trucy seemed to notice that, as she gave him a worried look. "Polly? Is something wrong?"

"It's detective gumshoe." Apollo's scowl deepened. If this guy was calling him...that meant he had to brace himself for some bad news. Trucy must've known that too because she suddenly went quiet, her eyes fixed on the phone laying on his hand.

The young attorney hesitated, as if contemplating to answer or not, before his thumb firmly pressed the accept button, lifting it up to his ear.

"Apollo justice speaking." He paused, listening carefully as gumshoe spoke, his fingers tightening around the phone. He was quick on his feet, his voice carrying an edge of worry as he replied to whatever the detective had said over the phone.

"What? Why?" Apollo asked sucpiciously, though his voice betrayed none of the worry evident in his eyes. Trucy and maya shared a worried look before both of their gazes shifted back to apollo, who was suddenly too stiff for moment. He started pacing around the room, a habit he picked up since he was a kid.

"Can you please be more specific?" Whatever he heard in reply had him freeze on his spot, his phone slipping from his numb hand and he must've been too shocked to even notice the muffled THUMP that came when his phone hit the floor.

"Polly!" Trucy got up first, her hand gripping her brother's shoulder and turned him so she could see him face to face.

Apollo looked pale as if he saw a ghost, eyes blankly staring down at the carpet as he trembled under his sister's grip. His hand came up to cover his mouth as he lowered his head.

This can't be true! Was all that went through his mind as he clenched his fists, shaking even harder as he struggled with the grief, the shock.

It was a stupid jock, he thought bitterly. It had to be.

"Polly." Trucy called him again, her voice this time calm and controlled as she watched him with a serious expression on her face. If maya didn't knew any better she'd have thought the magician was the older sibling.
