"............ "Upon thorough analysis, the fingerprints... ............ ...were found to belong to Athena Cykes." So says the report."
Thena? Why would her prints be on it?
"You have got to be kidding me, right?"
"Unfortunately, Wright-Dono, that's what the report says."
Athena was then brought to the detention centre without another word. Me, Trucy and Mr Wright returned to the agency to think.
--------------
"It's not Simon you'll be defending, it's that little princess behind the glass there."
What? Thena?
"Me?!"
"Yes! I indict Athena Cykes on the charge of murdering her own mother! Also, is that detective listening?"
"Yes! In justice we trust! I did want to say, unfortunately all the courtrooms are in session. There isn't a single one free."
"What?!"
Wait a minute! "Mr Wright, what about courtroom No. 4? You know the one that was blown up!?" I piped up.
"I didn't think of that! I'll go and get it set up!" With that Fulbright left, leaving us and Athena.
"Don't worry Thena, Mr Wright will get you out of this!"
It was then that I realised she was shaking and Widget had gone black.
"What?!"
"What is it Mr Nick?"
"Five black psyche locks!"
"Huh?!"
--------------
"Mr Wright, can I help defend Thena?" I asked when we were in the Defendant Lobby.
"Yes! Of course, you can, (Y/n). I was actually hoping you'd be willing to help, I have a feeling Edgeworth won't go easy on me."
"I'm going to try my best to help! For Thena and for Trucy!" I replied sticking my hand out in a peace sign.
"If I didn't already know, I would have guessed you and Athena were related, you act the exact same as each other."
"That's probably because we've never been apart. Well, apart from now, you'll never see me without Athena and vice versa!"
"That's something I can testify to."
We were then called into the courtroom and we took the defence stand, me somewhat nervously. I gave Athena a thumbs up to shoe she was in good hands.

Witness Testimony --Aura Blackquill's Theory--
"Simon isn't the murderer. He was trying to cover for someone. Someone else was at the scene at the time they say Simon committed the murder. I mean, if he really was out to steal that moon rock, then why the rolling case? Because he was using it to hide someone inside. That's why. And the only person small enough to fit inside that case... was Athena Cykes!"

"Your Honour, there's something off about Miss Blackquill's theory."
"And what is that Mr Wright?" The judge asked.
"It's not only the defendant the would have been able to fit in the case."
I facepalmed, knowing where this was going, Mr Wright, I'm sorry to say this but you are an idiot. It seemed Edgeworth knew where this was going as well because I noticed him smirk, "In that case, Mr Wright, who is this 'other person' that would have been able to fit?"
He finally realised what he'd done and started sweating slightly before looking at me and mouthing, 'Sorry about this, (Y/n). You're not going to like what I'm about to so.'
"Well, Wright? Who is this other person?"
"The defendant's twin sister. "
"Wright, you do realise this now makes your co-counsel a suspect as well, right?"
"I know that Edgeworth. I wasn't thinking when I objected."
Do you ever think before you object though, Mr Wright?
"Can the defence's co-counsel please take a seat next to the defendant." Good luck, trying to free both of us, Mr Wright.

The trial eventually came to a close and me, Thena and Simon were all declared innocent. We went back to the Space Centre. We were all happy when the hostages were released; Trucy ran up to Mr Wright and hugged him, "Daddy!"
"It's good to see you too Trucy, I'm glad you're safe." I was happily watching the scene unfold when Athena nudged me on the arm, "Watch it, Athena! I'm standing here!"
"I was trying to get your attention, wasn't there something you wanted to say to Trucy?" she asked with a smirk on her face.
Well, here we go. "Trucy, can I talk to you for a minute? Alone?"
"Yep!"
"You guys start walking back, we'll catch up after I've talked to Trucy," I said to the rest of the group.
"And we can't hear it because...?" Apollo asked. I was going to answer but Athena got there first, "Apollo! If she wasn't to talk to Trucy in private, then you don't ask her why you can't listen! Come on!" she spoke pushing them all out the Space Centre. I turned back to Trucy, "Trucy, first of all, I'm glad you're safe. Secondly I have something to confess to you."
You can do this, (Y/n). Just tell Trucy, you have a crush on her. Not too hard right?
"I have a crush on you!" Gah! No Bridget! "I'm sorry about that, Trucy. Bridget doesn't know when to-" I was shut up by her wrapping her arms around my neck and kissing me. My face went bright red but I soon melted into it, wrapping my arms around her waist.
"I love you too, (Y/n). There's nothing to apologise for."
"Really?"
"Yep! Now let's go and catch up with the others!"
You know, Bridget, sometimes you do come in useful when you speak my thoughts.
