April 14 9:55AM
District Court - Defendant Lobby no 4

( Apollo's trial...
...Why do I feel like a rookie again? )
"...Mr Wright?"
( If I fail... )
"Uh...are you listening to me?"
( Apollo will- )
"HEY!"
( H-Huh-? ) "W-What-?"
"Finally back on earth, are we?" Bloom clasped her hands together.
Phoenix tilted his head. "What are you..."
"I'm here to help you in the trial of course!" She grinned.
"...Where's Athena?" ( I thought she was supposed to be here by now? )
"She's not here. Probably ill. But I am!" She raised her hand up in the air. "Say hello to your defence team assistant!"
"R-Right..." ( I swear she's a completely different person...)
"..." Apollo hesitantly walked up to the two.
"Apollo?" Phoenix turned to him.
"...Please don't screw up in there. Please. My life's riding on this one..." He rubbed his neck.
"Don't worry Apollo! With two of us in there, we're defiantly going to win!" Bloom cheered.
"Defence! Defendant! Please proceed into the courtroom!"
"It's time." Phoenix nodded and headed into the courtroom.

April 14 10:00AM
District Court - Courtroom no 2

"Court is now in session for the trial of...Apollo Justice." The Judge looked confused for a moment.
"The defence is ready, your honour." Phoenix stood up straight.
"...And the Prosecution?" The Judge sighed.

Nobody was there.
Again.

"Your Honour, allow me to explain." Bloom nodded her head.
"P-Prosecutor Bloom?"
"Ah...today I am not a Prosecutor. I stand here as a simple defence attorney." She played with her hair.
( Simple?! Simple?! )
"Right...go on..." The Judge raised an eyebrow.
"As some of you may know, there has been a great increase in crimes lately...and there's not been enough Prosecutors to handle them..." Bloom glanced down for a second. "...So there's going to be a temporary Prosecutor for this first trial..."
"Ah, yes." The Judge nodded his head. "You see, I was under the intention that you would be the Prosecutor for this case, not the assisting Defence Attorney..."
"Um...yes..." She put a hand over her mouth. "There were some...minor complications..."

Just then the door burst open.

"The Prosecution...is ready, your honour."

"E-Edgeworth-?!" Phoenix's mouth dropped open.

( No way...
Edgeworth is...
The temporary Prosecutor for today?! )
