Work Text:
Maya had been going to school at her village for most of her life due to her aunts ideals and expections but she wanted to go to a normal school.Of recent in her senior year finally was she allowed to go out only because of her older sister who had somehow convinced her aunt,well her older sister mia was a laywer after all so maybe that helped a little.
She was now living with said older sister which made her happy not being crapped up in the village walls.
Before she had only been allowed out to visit Mia at her law office.There she met Phoniex a man who she had now knew for a few years now,he was like a brother or best friend to her.He was her only friend outside of the village...she hoped this would change when she went to school....
The school she was attending was a very presdioucus school for people from high class families.Maya felt out of place there she heard whispers from other students alot but had learned to block them out. She only really know one person and that was Franziska.
Franziska Von Karma was the daughter of a famous prosecutor who had became a prosecutor at 13 but still attended school as her sister and phoniex had told her. Phoniex happened to know her brother also a prosecutor,although there was more than them just knowing each other by the way Phoniex talks about him. Her brother asked her to show her around on her first day....
(Maya pov)
The day i met her i was rather worried i had heard about her father and how he was a ruthless prosecutor...and appantly Franziska could also be like that...but the first thing i noticed was how beatifual she was and realised how screwed i was because of that.I barley spoke as she showed me around i was so nervous....she was polite to me when we first met, but as we travelled around
others she glared at with icy eyes even yelling at 2 people who asked her a question...making me more cautious.
Basically i was a disaster when i got home and hoped i could avoid her and my feelings until i finished school but ...
No
It was hard to avoid the only person you know in a strange new place and she had previously allowed me to sit with her at lunch,she sat alone.I didn't have anyone else either did she although i knew she knew people... i was so worried as whispers ran ....what did she think of me?
I was a very excitable person and i had hid that in school at least tried to,but sometimes when i would talk about class or events with Franziska i would get really excited but had to try and hold my composition....cause well more people would talk .....i was already the weird transfer girl and somehow they knew about me being a medium...i didn't want them to find out more.
"Maya?...earth to Maya?"Mia said as she stood next to me making me jump and snapping me out of my daze
"WHA-huh?"
"Are you ready to go?"
"Oh yeah sorry"
"Are you sure your ok with doing this for me again?"
Mia said as we started to walk down towards the car
"Yeah i mean I'm on break besides its cool getting to help Phoniex in court like you do!"
"Yeah but you do remember these are murder trials Maya? There serious business"
"Yes i know....so is Edgeworth gonna be the prosecutor again?"
"I don't know but Phoniex would love that"
"Yeah he would"i giggle"meeting him last time was nice i see how him and Franziska are siblings.....there both really polite when you met them but also tough and forceful"
"Yep even though there no biogical they learned from the same man... anyway i got to go,Phoniex should be inside room 3 the same as last time"
"Got it sis i will do my best!"
"Of course you will see you later Maya!"
My sister said as she walked away from the court room i head inside
I spot Phoniex
"Hey Nick!"
"Maya! You ready to see my skills again"
"Last time you almost got a guilty verdict before Edgeworth and me helped you out"
"Ok yeah i guess"
"Anyway do you know whos the prosecutor is? Is it Edgeworth?"
"Edgeworth"
"Yeah?"i ask confused then i notice Phoniexs eyes are looking behind me so i turn
"Hello Wright and hello to you to Ms Fey"
Says Edgeworth who had appeared from behind me
"Hi Mr Edgeworth!"
"H-he-ey Edgeworth!"
Phoniex stuttered as his cheeks turned pink
"So your the Defence for today"
"Yep thats us! So Mr Edgeworth your the prosecutor?"
"No not today"
"Wait Edgeworth if its not you then who is?"Phoniex asks confused
"Well its Franziska"
"FRANZISKA!"i cover my mouth...i feel the blood rush into my face along with feelings of dred and terror....she was gonna see me here...in my acolyte training wear too....
"Yes Franziska"
This is bad this is bad no no no anyone but her...this is gonna go bad...
"Maya?"
"Huh...Wheres Edgeworth?"
"Oh he was busy so he had to go...so are you excited to see Franziska?"
"No...dreading it"
"What why? Aren't you friends?i should be the one dreading it"
"Well yeah but I'm not myself at school that much so....I'm worried of how shes gonna think of me"
Phoniex gave me a soft smile "hey don't worry about that lets focus on this case ok?"
"Ok"
I stand there next to Phoniex as i see her walk in i sink into myself a little just like i do at school...i stare at the ground as i feel her gaze on me.
(Franziska pov)
Ever since i was born my father had raised me to uphold a certain image one of perfection,in everything i do.
Whether it be prosecutoring or school he said i must meet expectations as his daughter,i must not break his image.
I worked hard to meet these expectations by becoming a prosecutor at 13 and in school i had perfect grades and i was also the school council leader.
Everything was perfect everywhere i went and i made sure of it as i strike fear into those who dare disobey me but recently my own feelings had began to stray from expectations all because of her...
My little brother asked me if i could show her around on her first day,as the head of the student council it was my duty to show her around anyway.
But when i seen her something in me felt strange,i thought it would past over time but it didn't. Everytime she was around or i looked at her the feeling was there...attmpting to ruin me but i beared with it because i enjoyed her presence even if this feeling was stirring....
It was school break and i had to attend court today i thought it would be like every normal case but then i seen her... Maya
The feeling was now hitting me again in court....why here...why now...what would she think of me after this....wait why was i even worried about what she thinks....i just have to do my job...
Maya pov
The trial progressed
It was odd to see Franziska in court i had seen her get mad at school but she had a different aura cause of the court room or maybe it was the whip she was somehow allowed to have?
She may have been mean and smug towards Phoniex during the trial but it was her job and she did it well....so well that me and Phoniex were about to get a guility verdict for our client.
"I will now pass my verdict"
The judge said Franziska was smiling but also looking at me with sad eyes
"No no no i need one more chance i know sometimes wrong" Phoniex said his head down on the table
"Don't try anything Mr Phoniex Wright or contempt of court is waiting"
I knew he was right the testimony was fishy it was my last chance...i knew Franziska would think less of me after this but i had no choice
"OBJECTION!"
I yelled
"Your Honour that testimony it sucks!"
"Maya?!?"Phoniex said shocked
"The witness couldn't have been in that room when you guys said it was locked at 2pm!"
"Hm the defense does have a poin AH"
The whip hit the judge
"Judge did we not establish that if Mr Phoniex Wright spoke out again he would be put in contempt of court?"
"That is true Ms Von Karma"
"NICK DIDN'T SPEAK OUT I DID HOLD ME IN CONTEMPT OF COURT NOT HIM!AND LET HIM CROSS EXAMINE THE WITNESS AGAIN SOMETHINGS NOT RIGHT!"
"Hm ok Ms Fey you will be held in contempt of court and Mr Wright may cross examine the witness again"
"Maya?!!??!"
"Good luck nick!!!"
I say as two officers start to lead me away out of the room...i hope Phoniex will be ok......and Franziska....she definitely won't torlate me anymore than this
Franziska pov
What was she thinking....why would she want to be held in contempt of court?!?
Is it because she really believes that the defense is right? Or?
Later
"Maya"
The stern look my her sisters face did not thrill me
"Uh hi sis....i guess you heard"
"About you causing trouble in court?"
"I wasn't causing trouble i was just trying to get Phoneix more time... I'm sorry "
Mia then laughed a little
"I was just kidding though you did get arrested Maya thats serious"
"They said they would let me out on bail since its my first offense tho"
"I will take it out of Phoenixs salary since you did help him win the case"
"HE WON?!?!"
"Yep all thanks to your help maya"
"But he was against Franziska...so she lost?"
"Yep and its her first time too"
"Wait shes never lost a case up until now! T-that means i helped break her record..."
"Yeah..."
"Well i guess shes gonna hate me now...."
"Don't worry so much its gonna be fine"
I wanted to believe her but i think me and mia both knew a perfect prodigy would not be happy about losing...at least there was still a week before school returned maybe she would calm down by then....
-
I cautiously walked into the lunch room, time had passed by to fast and i was unsure whether or not i was allowed at Franziskas table anymore...i slowly walked towards the table then she spotted me so i turned aroud to run off
"Maya"
Oh frick,i turned back towards the table
"Oh uh hi Franziska"
"I didn't see you after the trial last week but i wanted to say what you did was very foolish and disrepectful to the court"
"Oh um yeah...i know I'm sorry.."i look down its the first time shes talked like this to me but i deserve it
"But i do admire your passion for justice even if it was foolish you did the right thing"
"Oh uh T-thank you? I think"
"Are you going to sit down?"
"Y-your still ok with me sitting here?"
"Of course?why would i not be?"
"As you said i was a fool and i kinda messed it up for you..."
"Don't pity me Maya if i don't win a trial its my fault for not being perfect not anyone elses....also it was a sham"
"Oh...well i don't think you should blame yourself Franzy your already perfect and amazing at prosecuting sometimes the truth isn't what you expected its not your fault..
or i guess as you say its a sham"i say as i slowly sit next to her...her brain looked like its working hard trying to figure out the meaning of my words
"Wait a second did you just call me Franzy?"
"Did i?"
"Yes"
"O-oh I'm so sorry i didn't mean to say that i always thought it would be a good nickname for you though i never was gonna use it cause i knew you wouldn't like it"
"No"
"No?"
"No its fine...you may call me by that nickname if you so wish...that is what friends do correct?"
"Friends?"
"Yes is that not what we are?"
"Oh yes i guess i thought you would just see me as a acquaintance"
"Well yes but i wouldn't mind considering you my friend... i guess"
"Really?"
"Yes..."
"Well i also wouldn't mind considering you a friend too Franzy!"
That was the real start of our friendship it made me so happy even though she thought i was a fool i was her friend....i acutally made a friend?!?
Fransizka pov
Maya Feys outburst in court was foolish she got herself arrested...but she did it for a good reason...a admirable reason...she was rather different then how she is at school...it was odd but her actions show she has a good heart that must be why i feel this way it must be admiration.I mean it feels different than admiration but I'm unsure of what else to call it.
This feeling....its odd i wanna see her happy and be around her but not in the same way i feel about others....she makes me feel warm and the blood rush to my cheeks but i don't know why or what this feeling is?
But whatever it is it confuses me?
I don't think her friendship is all i wish for but it will suffice because i enjoy it...being her friend...being with her in some way...that is what i desire
Timeskip!
Me and Franziska had been getting closer and hanging out alot more which i was glad for.I had even started to break out of my shell at school a lil cause of her seeing me like that in court...she was amazing truely and being her friend was amazing though my feelings had been getting worse i didn't wanna scare her away if these feelings ever were exposed it would be bad. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to ask her to hang out today....but i she wasn't busy and i wanna see her more...
"Maya are you sure this is ok?"
Franziskas words snapped me back into what was happening...we were going to my sisters office as i had to get something before we went to the mall
"Yeah it will be fine"
"Really? I am a prosecutor you remember?"
"Yes i know but that doesn't mean your not allowed in the offices"
"Won't someone mind me being there?"
"No? Your my friend they won't care and we will only be here for a few minutes"
"If you say so but if a defense lawyer walked into my office that would be pretty foolish of them"
"Thats only cause you have a whip in your office"
"That is true..."Franziska held back a giggle as she said that
It was sad she had to supress her laugh it was cute....
We walked into the office i knew someone would be here i didn't know who though
"Maya....and Franziska?" Phoenix said his face fell when Franziska appeared
"Hey Nick"
"Hello Mr Phoenix Wright.."
"So uh whats up you two?"
" were just stopping by cause i left my wallet here"
"Ah that makes sense"
"Maya!"Mia said as she came out of kitchen area followed by a smaller figure
"Mystic Maya!"
"Hi sis! Hi Pearly! I didn't know you were both here?!"
"It is my office i wasn't that busy today and Pearly wanted to visit the office...oh hello Ms Von Karma"
"Hello Ms Fey and..?"
"Oh Franzy this is my little cousin Pearl and Pearly this is my friend Franziska"
"Oh hello there pearl"
"Hi Ms Franziska"
"So what brings you two to the office?"my sister asks
"I forgot my wallet here"
"Ah yes its on the table in the kitchen"
I knodded as i headed into the kitchen while trying to find my wallet i heard mia talking
"So Franziska what are you and Maya doing today"
"We are going to the mall.."
"Ah thats nice I'm sure its good for you to get out of the office and be a normal teen for once"
"Yes...it is nice...but also foolish of me"
As i walked back with my wallet i seen Franziska she looked quite sober
"Well anyway we gotta get going right Franzy!Bye sis!Bye Pearly!""
"Yes...it was nice to meet you Ms Fey and you too pearl"
"It was nice meeting you too Franziska"
"Yes Ms Franziska it was a pleasure meeting you"
We started to leave
"Bye nick"
"By Maya....and Franziska"
Franziska then stopped by the door
"Goodbye Mr Phoenix Wright oh and before i go i must let you know your win was a sham and next time we met in court you will lose"
Then Franziska walked out and i followed her it was kinda funny and cute to see her stand her ground
So i giggled
"Are you laughing because you are doubting i will beat Mr Phoniex Wright in court?"
"What no no its just funny that you were so quiet then you dunked on nick before you left"
"Well i must tell a fool to prepare to be beaten of course"
I giggled again"ah Franziska i can't believe your confidence sometimes its amazing"
I looked at her face it was twisted i was unsure of why it was like that...but I'm glad mia and pearl and her got along in the end...we may have to work on nick but thats fine
Franziska pov
I had received a text message from Maya about her not coming into school today because she was sick....the whole day i felt worried and i missed her.I wanted to make her feel better but i was unsure how....i guess i could bring her the work she missed today...and maybe some medicine and drops to make sure she recovers faster....
I collected her work,went to the store for supplies then to her house.I only knew where it was because Maya was quite forgetful and had left her wallet at her home once.
I walked up to the door and knocked
"Oh Franziska! Hello Mayas sick today so-"Ms fey said after opening the door and spotting me
"Yes i know...she texted me and i was concerned so i brought her somethings"
"Oh thats so sweet of you i can bring it to her or if you would like you can come in?"
"Uh i can bring it to her i would like to see how shes doing"
"Ok if you want then come in but be warned you may catch what shes got"
"That is fine i have a strong immune system"I say as Ms Fey let me into the house
"Her rooms over there"
"Thank you"
I say as i walk over to Mayas room and open the door slowly i was unsure if she was awake or not. The first thing i heard was the tv sounds of a action tv show playing
"Sis?" A croaky voice said then a cough
"No it is me Maya"
"F-Franziska!? What are you doing here"she coughed
"I was worried about your condition so i came to check on you and bring you some things so you recover faster"
"Hehe Franziska you care about me"she coughed out i looked away feeling my face heat up
"O-of course i do you are my friend?
"Hehehe"
"Why are you laughing"
"Your pretty"
"What did you just say!?!?"i yell in shock did Maya just say i was pretty? Why does that make blood rush to my face and my chest feel warm?!?
"Hehehehe your face is red"
"No its not you fool"
Maya was probably just acting this way cause she was sick it didn't mean anything else...right?
"Wooooah my hand is two hands"
Yep she is just sick
"Anyway Maya i bought some drops,medicine,tea bags and tissues i have to go now "
"Wait! Before you go look at the steel samurai he is about to win!"she pointed at the tv
"Oh is this that show you were saying you watch?"
"Yep! Its amazing you should watch it with me!"
" you need to rest Maya"
"Please just watch one episode with me"
She coughed then made a face looking like a sad puppy
"Fine. Only one episode"
"Yay!!!!your the best Franzy!"Maya yelled jumping out of bed and hugging me making blood rush to my face and my heart beat sped up...
"Fool your sick....."
I felt foolish...for many reasons but i also felt warm inside...it reminded me of how it felt to win my first trial...i felt even more than happy just by sitting by a sick Maya watching this foolish childrens program...i didn't know something this simple could make me feel this way...i liked it.
Maya pov
I had finally recovered after a few days i barely remembered much from when i was sick.I do vaguely remember Franziska showing up and watching the steel samurai with me for hours it...i think that helped me get better some how by being with her.But i got a mad text later from her informing me she was sick because of me....
So i decided i would bring her somethings to get better like she did for me! Not just for that but to make it up to her and because i do want her to get better....
I had asked Nick for her adress since i hadn't ever been there before and she never told me where she lived.
Afterschool i got what i needed and headed to her house.
The neighbourhood was definitely one that most of the kids at our school lived in,basically full of rich and sussessful people. Exactly what i thought where Franziska lived would look like.The houses were all basically mansions with expensive architecture and gardens that looked unreal thats how perfect they were.
As i admired the houses i looked at the adressed before stopping in front of a giant house...so this is where Franziska lived.I am pretty sure its the biggest house on this street and by far is it somehow the most expressive...i thought the other houses were perfect but this one was the defition of perfect...it was Franziskas house after all.
I rang the door bell i expected one of Franziskas parent to answer the door..although the only thing i knew about them was little,i only knew her dad was a famous prosecutor.
But who answered it wasn't a parent it was Franziska.
In a light blue dress she stood there looking in a daze yet like she was trying her best to look in good health.....to look ok....
"Maya?"
"Hi Franzy! How you feeling"
"Terrible...anyway why are you here?"
"I brought you a care package like you did for me! But it also doubts as a sorry for getting you sick package"
"I see you didn't have to...."
"Well i did anyway now can i come in?"
"Fine but keep your distance we can't have you getting sick again"
"Fine"
I walked into Franziskas home it was just how i thought it would look,everything was polished and shining and the ceilings were so high.There was big elegant staircases leading upstairs and a giant chandler hung down from the ceiling.
"Your house is so big Franzy"
"Yep...but its also very empty"she started coughing like she was holding it in until she closed the door
"Oh... are you ok?"
"I'm ill...so no"she then started to cough again
"Franziska you should lay down i don't even think my cough was that bad"
"I'm fine i don't need to lay down"she said as she coughed a deathly sound coming from her followed by a few cute sneezes
"You can't trick me Franzy you sound like your dying go lay down and i will make you some soup...also take this bag"I grabbed the soup out and handed her the bag
"But-"
"No buts unless its yours in bed!"
"Fine"
Franziska then walked up the long flight of stairs coughing and sneezing as she did.
She tried to keep up a strong front but she was to sick to argue.
After 30 minutes i had finished the soup...it only toke so long because i had no idea where anything in her big kitchen was.
As i walked up to her room i noticed the pictures along the wall of her when she was younger..of course she was dressed in fluffy clothing having a adorble smug face...and there with her a very old looking man i assume to be her dad....there was none of Edgeworth or of her mother...odd.
I then had to try and find her room thankfully i had seen her walk to it before or else i would have been walking for a hour to find it.
"Franzy! I bought the soup!" I said walking into her giant room.
Her bed was exactly what you would expect a big bed with navy blue covers with gold accents.
"Oh hello Schön...i thought you gave up and left "
Schön? I guess its German for friend maybe?
"I know i toke a long time but i wouldn't give up on you and your soup needs even if it did take me a while to find the bowls"I said as i handed it to her
"Thank you...our butler is the only one here who knows anyway"
"So you do have a bulter?where is he?"
"Well we don't just have one but they are both out with vater"
"Oh i see...why isn't one of them here looking after you"
"I told them i was fine....and papa needed them both for business anyway"
"So he just left you alone in this state!?"
"Not exactly he asked Miles to come check on me soon"
"Ah..i don't know how he can't spare one person even to check on you"
"Its always been like that when i was sick"
"Really...thats sad"
"Its fine"
"Doesn't really sound fine he just leaves you here alone sick like he doesn't even care?"
"He does care....he just says that people who are foolish enough to get sick deserve to look after themselves..."
"Thats really harsh.."
"Its whats expected from a Von Karma"
"I would think that the people who care for you would wanna care for you when your sick not just tell you to deal with it by yourself..."
"Thats just my fathers mentally to insure perfection"
DONG DING DONG
"Maya can you get the door?"
"Yep"
"Danke"
I walked down the stairs and thought it was interesting seeing Franziska in that state still stubon as ever but her guard was down i don't know if it was cause i was there or because she was sick, maybe both?.
I opened the door and was met with
"Ah Ms Maya Fey!"
"Hi Mr Edgeworth"
"What are you doing here?"
"Oh i came to check on Franziska and bring her a few things i was the reason she got sick after all"
"Ah i see you don't seemed shocked to see me so i assume you knew i was coming?" he said as he walked inside what i assume was his childhood home
"Yeah" i said as we walked up to Franziskas room
"Franziska" Edgeworth said
"While hello Miles Edgeworth" she said as she coughed her soup in her hands she held onto for dear life so it wouldn't spill
"Don't overextert yourself Franziska"
"I am fine Little brother!"she shouted and then coughed some more
"Ah yes because it sounds that way... anyway what was your recorded tempture?"
"It was average"
"Really?"
"Slightly above..."
"Let me see"
"No do not i am fine"
I walked over as the two bickered i walked over to her
"May i"
"Ja.."
I put my hand on her head to see if she was warm...as i did so i looked down at her and she looked up at me her eyes sparkled..i was blushing a lil but tried my best not to.
"Schön..ich i um....ich bin fine!"
I looked back at Edgeworth to report her burning up but his face looked shocked in a Edgeworth way...maybe she said something weird in the german?
"Shes burning up"
"Ah yes that makes sense let me get a cold washer"
Edgeworth walked out the door
"Oh Franzy you finished the soup? I will take the bowl and would you like some tea?"
"Yes"she coughed "danke"
I walked down the stairs towards the kitchen when i heard a voice
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
The voice was booming and deep...it was scary.I slowly turned to see a old man in a elegant suit looming over me i realised i seen this man in the photos on the wall...it must have been Franziskas father.
"I'm M-maya Fey and i'm Franziskas friend so i came to check up on her"
"I see well i think your business is done here"
"I was gonna go make her tea-"
"Business is done here Ms Fey"
He was intimidating his words sounded like commands...before i knew it i was heading towards the door,i wanted to say by to Franziska but he trapped me blocking my way of getting back inside.
"Goodbye Ms Fey"
"Goodbye Mr Von Karma it was nice meeting you"
I say as i feel guilty for leaving Franziska...
I head back out on the street i again admire the outside of the houses...there look of perfection like perfect people and families live their...its probably all just a front.
When Franziska explained how her dad treated her i thought maybe it wasn't what i thought but...i don't think its that her fathers aura and personality was cold.If i didn't know what i did i would think thats just how he was to me but it sounds thats what he was like to Franziska....his own daughter.
It made me mad because he was clearly putting to much pressure on her just to be perfect? Its dumb but it always reminded me of my aunt...always pushing and wanting me to be the perfect medium.....the pressure was never something childern should have put on them....
I arrived at the office where i texted Franziska a apology for leaving early.I then spotted Mia
"Hi sis"
"Hi Maya...why do you look so down"
"I went to see Franziska cause she got since because of me and i didn't even get to say goodbye"
"Why?"
"Mr Von Karma kicked me out"
"So you meet Manfred Von Karma?"
"Yep he is scary"
"Thats him he is a feared prosecutor for a reason"
"I guess but shouldn't that just be in court?"
"You would think but some people think it makes him scarier cause he always acts like that"
"I guess"
Franziska pov
I thought it was weird that day when Maya left so randomly but it made sense when Miles infomed me my father was here...he didn't come to see me then since i was contagious.
But today i returned home from hanging out with Maya and my father was waiting for me....i also spotted Miles upstairs i guessed father may have had to talk to him....
This wasn't good.
"Franziska."
His tone made my legs wobble but i walked over knowing this would end bad
"Yes papa?"
"We need to have a talk"
There was a pit in my stomach
"A talk about what?"
"Your new little friend"
"Maya?"
"Yes. Ms Maya Fey,this"friendship"you have is distracting you"
"Distracting me?how so?"
"The fact you have to even ask is disappointing...you and her have been "hanging out" which has been wasting value time you could use to be studying or completing your duties"
"But father i still study and my grades have not tripped or slipped,i still make sure to revise my legal books and cases and still i complete all of my duties for the student council"
"Yes but remember that fluke trial you went against Phoniex Wright"
"Yes it was a fluke and i won't lose again"
"Are you really sure it was a fluke?"
"Huh of course it was"
" Who caused it but Ms Maya Fey even if it was a fluke with her around it seems like things always end up bad for you"
"Yes but-"
"Then she got you sick rendering you useless for three days"
"Well i did chose to go check up on her"
"But it was all part of this "friendship plan" she had she knew you would do that and that you would get sick"
"Maya wouldn't do that"
"You think she wouldn't? She's the someyimes assistant of the Defense Attorney Phoenix Wright but not only that her Sister is also a Defense Attorney"
"And so?"
"I clearly didn't teach you well enough if you weren't listening when i said this many times before but all Defense Attorneys do is lie and cheat to get criminals out scot free!"
"But she's not a Defense Attorney"
"Yes but being around would have influenced her and they have manipulated her to think just like them
Before you know it you will be manipulated too!"
"I-i"
"Those vile Defense Attorneys will do anything to let criminals roam free for their own gain this is probably planned...you were probably targeted by them so they could convert you to their ways so they could have it easier.
Your lucky i realised this before it was to late now you can distance your self"
"Wait distance myself"
All he said....is it really true....a year ago i may have agreed but it was outrageous...
"Yes get away from Ms Fey...i did always tell you to never make any friends because they will only waste time and disapoint you and i was right as i always am"
"But father i don't-"
"Franziska. You are a Von Karma. We do not let ourselfs be manipulated by criminal siding defense attonrys.We do not need friends because they will ruin our perfection with there foolish actions.Now this conversation is over go to your room and you better stay away from her or there will be consequences."His tone was stern,cold and commanding i wanted to refuse but i couldn't....i was scared...i held back the tears if i let them escape here i would be in more trouble
"Yes papa"
I said as i ran upstairs my hands shaking...as soon as i arrived into my room my foolish self let the tears roll.
Thinking about not seeing Maya....it hurt me that feeling....was hurting me....
I wouldn't be so foolish as to be manipulated it was my choice to befriend her,my choice to wanna be around her....father didn't understand but if i said this to him i would probably lose the chance to even see her and i didn't want that and i didn't know why i felt this way about her i just-
*knock*
Who... knocked on my door
I wipped my tears away trying to look presentable encase it was my father
"Franziska"
"Miles Edgeworth"
"Are you ok"
"I'm fine"
"Sure you are....now we need to talk"
"About?"
"Just let me in"
"Fine"
i say confused as i let him in
"You got a talking to as well"
"Yes.....why did he talk to you"
"You know about how me and Wright are friends"
"Yes how you are friends with that fool"
"Well he scolded me like he did to you about it...."
"So why are you here..?"
"Well i wanted to tell you that you shouldn't listen to him...i know you will call me a fool but think about how much happier you've been... i noticed it when you were sick and Maya was here even if you were dying you didn't seem to mind it"
"You are a fool...but you also do have a point i don't wanna distance myself from Maya....she does make me happy"
"Phoenix helped me open my eyes... to the truth and he makes me happy....even if he is a fool i love him"
"Ha well- wait did you just say you love Phoenix Wright?!?!"
"Did i"
"You did"
"Oops....well guess the secreats out now so yes i said that... i mean we have been in a romatic relationship"
"Y-you are in a romantic relationship with him?!?why did i not know this?!?"
"Well we have not really told anyone about us"
"And why him why such a foolish fool?!?!"
"He may be a fool but he is my fool and i love him"
"But why?"
"I admire his values,his personality,the way he looks,the way he acts,he is caring and i like being around him ... he makes me feel that fluttering happy feeling and i love everything about him"
Wait a second all of those things seem to remind me of something that feeling...the feeling I've been feeling to Maya is that-
"Wait wait all of those things you said is that what love feels like?!Does it also make blood run to your face??"
"Well from my knowledge yes"
"This ist schlecht,this is bad bad bad bad"
Thats the feeling...i love Maya?....oh my god i love Maya...i have romantic feelings for Maya...
"What is ?"
"Miles....i think i feel the same way you do about that fool but for Maya"
"And why is that bad?"
"Well- wait are you not suprised!?!?"
"Why would i be?"
"Cause you didn't know?!?"
"Franziska do you remember when you were sick and Maya was here"
"Ja?"
"Well i don't know if you remember she went to see if you had a fever and you looked up at her and said Schön and it kinda gave it away"
"Wait...oh i- i do remember...i was a fool"
"She didn't know what you said but i did and i connected the dots....thats why I'm not suprised"
"Oh.."
"Now why were you saying this was bad"
"Because papa doesn't want me to even be friends?Wait what if papa finds out I'm into girls!?!? and also she may just sees me as a friend also what if shes not into girls?!?"
"Franziska i asked myself similar things when i discovered what i was feeling and now i am also dealing with what Manfred has said so i understand the uncertainty you are feeling but i think its important you know that you don't have to listen to him..."
"I know that...."
"Well just keep it in mind"
"If you need time to think..its ok.."
"..uh Miles?"
"Yes?"
"Are you gonna do what he said?"
"Well no i will keep me and Phoniexs relationship under the radar though just incase"
"Oh..."
Maya pov
It had been two weeks....two weeks since Franziska had talked to me or even responed to my text.
But all i was met with was silence and she didn't even sit at our lunch table....she avoided me in school and in text and i had no idea why?
I just wanted to know why?
I hated that...when people just leave and don't explain it....it hurts..... a simple i don't wanna be your friend would have worked...i mean yes it would be better than be frantically wanting to tell her i was sorry over and over and wondering where i went wrong but it would have also broken me...and my heart but thats also what this did.i had a big crush on her...so it just hurt to not even be acknowledged or told what i did wrong i mean if i was never gonna even be her again friend i need closure in both ways even though i wanna be her friend again...wanna be with her beside her anyway i can...it hurts
"Uh Maya are you ok?"the voice came from the desk where Phoniex stood next to Mia,
Phoenixs question snapped me back into reality
"Yeah yeah I'm- fine"
"Are you sure Maya you have been looking lost for the last like two weeks...is there something bothering you?"
"Its nothing really I'm fine" i hoped saying it would get them off my back and maybe make me think it was fine
Mia stood up and walked over to me
"You can talk to us you know...if anything is bothering you.."
"I- well fran- nevermind it I'm fine"darn it emotions don't go now
"Well it sounded like there is something....it will make you feel better to talk about"
"I....i Franziska shes...uh i have a crush on her and I'm worried that she doesn't like girls but then it got worse cause she-"
"Wait ....you like Franziska!" Phoenix yelled
"You owe me 50 bucks Phoenix" mia laughed
"Wait you two bet on me liking Franziska? How did you even know i liked girls..."
"Maya....no one who works here is straight so it was only a matter of time...also your my sister and i know you very well ...well enough to the point i knew you had a thing for her and knew you would tell us now!"
"I could tell because of the face you made whenever you talked about her your cheeks would flush and eyes would sparkle also if only you waited a week more i could have made 50 bucks!"
Phoenix laughed and shouted
"I make a face?!? I do n- ok maybe i do but you do when you see Edgeworth to so your not one to talk! Also stop placing bets against Mia she always wins"
"I do...but anyway I'm proud of you for having the bravey to come out to us Maya we love you"
"Yes"Phoenix agreed and ran over for a hug
My heart felt a little better after that though the big thing still weighted on my mind
"Thanks guys...there was another thing though"
"What else was it?"
"Uh....two weeks ago she started to avoid me"
"Why"
That question...
"Why...i don't know...wish i did.."emotions came back and my tears started to water
"Hey Maya its ok don't cry"
My sister rubbed her hand on my back
"But i don't know why...she hasn't responded to my texts and hasn't sat with me at lunch and i think she hates me"
"She doesn't hate you"Phoenix said
"How do you know?"
"If anyone she hates me...besides you two get along so well theres no way she does"
"I mean i guess its just for two weeks and nothing... it hurts... not knowing why"
"Wait 2 weeks....oh i know why?!"phoenix exclaimed
"Wait how do you know?" Mia asked
"Well Edgeworth came to me 2 weeks ago saying we need to keep our relationship under the rader cause if Manfred knew we were dating not just friends he would-"
"DATING!"Me and Mia screamed at the same time
"Yeah?"
"Why didn't you tell me?"i asked
"Or me!"Mia say
"Oh well i kinds sorta forgot and me Edgeworth were taking things slow..."
"When?"
"When?"
"Did you two start dating"
"A month ago why?"
"A MONTH!"
Me and Mia yelled
"Phoenix why didn't you tell us! Also why couldn't have you waited another week now i owe Mia 50 bucks!"i yelled
"I already told you why also thats your fault you just told me not to make bets with her"
"I mean yeah...anyway i am glad you two finally got together.. ..congrats!"
"Yes Congrats phoenix"
"Thanks"
"Now what were you saying before?"
I asked remembering we cut him off
"Oh yeah so Manfred Von Karma was telling Edgeworth we couldn't be friends so he would be super mad about us being more than that but he also talked with Franziska about you and her being friends"
"Oh-wait why what?"
"Well apparently you were distacting her and wasting her time.Not just that but you were manipulated by us because were evil Defense Attorneys who are criminals and your trying to turn her into one of us with our evil actions also about how were trying to ruin her perfection and the von karma name"
"Wha- ok why would he say that "
"He doesn't like Defense Attorneys"
Mia said
"Ah....ok but still it sounds pretty dumb...but Franziska might have toke it to heart....and now she hates me"
"She probably doesn't hate you i mean maybe shes just taking time to think over it or something"
"Very confident sounding Phoenix....i hope your right but she still could have spoke to me"
"She was proably scared"
Mia said
"Scared...oh i yeah her father is pretty scary and she would be scared of him or disappointing him....but i still wish she did talk to me"
"Maybe you should talk to her...help clear stuff up it should go fine...just follow your heart and believein yourself"mia said
"Thats...something i should have done earlier"
Why didn't i do that....was i scared too? Probably...but i also wanna know the truth and hear it from her....if I'm lucky i will get to be around her again...i hope it goes well
-
I had gathered the courage to talk after a few days to her it was lunch so i headed to the lunch room and of course no Franzy so i walked around but she wasn't anywhere....then i remembered i hadn't checked the student council room which is most likely where she was....I'm so dumb.
I stood outside the room trying to work up the courage...
I knocked hoping she would answer
"Hello-"
It was her
"Franziska"
"Sorry I'm really busy!"
She went to shut the door but i put my leg in
"We need to talk...please..just for a sec?"
"Fine"
She sighed shakily then let me in closing the door behind her.
No one else was in the room... this was good
"Franziska why...have you been avoiding me...for 2 weeks"
"I ....my father didn't want us to be friends"
"So you couldn't even take time out of your day to even tell me about that?"
"I was-"
"You didn't even tell me why? So i was left wondering for weeks what i did to make you hate me you didn't even tell me you didn't wanna be my friend!I shouldn't have to apologisefor being hurt or mad about this..."tears welled in my eyes
"Maya please..don't cry...i don't hate you...its not that i don't wanna be your friend either its just i didn't wanna disapoint my papa but i wanted to still be your friend"
"Couldn't you have at least told me anything."
"I'm sorry...i know that won't cut it but i was also in pain i was torn Maya....i wish i could have been brave even to say anything but i....i was scared and as a von karma i didn't wanna admit it but i was..."
"...i guess were both hurt by this...but still did you really think that me,my sister or nick were capable of manipulating some one or coming up with a plan for your downfall? Seriously nick is way to dumb for that"
"Ok...that is true...wait how did you know about that?"
"Oh Mr.Edgeworth told nick about it then he told me about it as he remembered"
"Oh but why would....nevermind that makes sense"
"Wait do you know about them too?"
"Unfortunately yes..."
"So um you don'thave to say yes i was just wonder if you...um do you wanna be friends again?"
"You still wanna be my friend?"
"Yeah? Of course if we were we will probably have to hang out less cause if your dad but we can still sit together at school and get away with hanging out for shorter periods of time!"
"Hmm i guess that plan maybe would work though my father is powerful and smart man but i have thought about what i want....i will risk it...i miss our friendshipm.... and you calling me Franzy"
"I miss you calling people fools!"
"I'm so happy were Friends again Maya"she giggle
"Aww Franzy so am i"
"I know sorry doesn't it cut it but i apologise for hurt you...."
"Its fine now Franzy I'm just glad its back to this"
I hugged her my heart fluttered ...then i jumped back as i realized what i had done and my face flushed but i was happy...we were back by each others sides
Franziska POV
It was risky but the hole in my heart screamed to not be in that pain of having to avoid her and i missed this feeling...my fluttering heart in my chest and the blood in my cheeks...it made me so happy...
Maya POV
It was like we were right where we left off me and Franziska were hanging out a slight bit less but only cause we hung out when she knew her dad wouldn't be home when she was late and even if he was she would say she was studying or went for a walk in the park.it wasn't a lie i mean we walked and sometimes studied in that park near her house.
It was Saturday i was at the office texting Franziska...i smiled dumbly at her messages.
My phone buzzed as another one came through.
It talked was about how her father was going out of the country so we could hang out more!.
Then another message appeared...it was her asking if i wanted to come over and hang out today,she said Nick and Edgeworth were talking and came up with the idea for all of us to hang out since we were all free.
I of course was overjoyed and said yes.
Last time i was at her house it went badly but since her dad wasn't there it should go alot smoother.
Oh i was so excited to see her!
Wait a minute what should i wear?
Could i wear this?...my
I looked over to mia at her desk and stood up?
"Sis is my outfit ok?"
"Hm why are you asking"
"Uh I'm going to Franziskas tonight to hang out with her and Nick and Edgeworth"
"Ah i see hm yeah i think what your wearing looks good..i don't think she would care anyway though"
"Maybe...but what if she does?"
Mia giggled at me and another laugh came from the door way before phoenix walked in, i would ask for his opinion on my outfit if he had any fashion sense.
"Anyway Mia is my outfit ok?"Phoenix asked as he gestured towards his sweater and jeans
"Yes yes its fine, you two gonna stop worrying"Mia laughed
I just wanted to look good for Franziska....it was kinda dumb to worry about but i didn't care.
I was so excited to see her.
-
Later
Me and Nick were walking to the Von Karma house.I was texting Franziska as we walked and man i swear it was getting worse as i dug my face into my sweater my face flushed.We were getting closer and i knew i would see her soon.
I shook Nicks arm
"Nick I'm gonna die"
Nick laughed at me of course as we walked up to the door.
"Hello Ms Fey and hello Wright"Edgeworth said when he talked to nick i seen his eyes soften it was cute.
As we walked in i spotted something else cute, Franziska.... she looked relaxed....that made me feel so happy since she had been pretty stressed recently due to her fathers words.
Seeing her just chilled on a couch make me so happy....
The night went on as we talk and played cards,chess and some board games that we brang due to Von Karma deeming them distractions.
The night went on and we all got hungry so we ordered pizza,Edgeworth and Phoenix went to pick it up.
After they left me and Franziska were talking and she wanted to show me something so we headed to her room.
"Anyway here is the prosecutors outfit i wore when i was 13"
"Aw its so small and you didn't even have sleeves!"
"Yeah hehe i didn't even have my whip yet either, i had this riding crop"her laugh made me smile
"A riding crop aw haha its like a tiny version of your whip!"i laughed as i fell back onto her bed
"Yes...i needed a upgrade for more range" Franziska said as she giggled and sat on the bed next to me
I stared at her she was so beautiful i wonder how her hair feels...i wonder
"Hey Franziska...have you ever had your hair braided before"
"Hm no i... never had anyone there who would do that"
Franziska POV
When Maya asked me that i realised i had never had anyone do that for me i mean yes i did my dolls hair but i never had a friend or anyone else to do it for me
"Could i braid your hair?"
Maya asked and i blushed...
"Y-yeah of course" i smiled i grabbed my brush and hair band and handed it to her.
"Yay thank you"
I looked at her i was kinda nervous as she reached out and brush my hair before taking strands of it and braiding it.
She was pretty close to my face i thought i was gonna black out because of how close she was to my face.
I held it together but i think my face looked like a tomato due to the blood that had risen into my cheeks.
"Done! Take a look? Do you like it?"
I looked in my mirror that sat across from my bed and the braid was pretty cute
"Yes i love it...its very cute"i said as i looked back at Maya
I hadn't realised how close we were as i smiled and looked into her eyes...
"I'm glad....i tried to make it match you"
D-did she just call me cute?!?!
Oh my- what do i do our faces are so close...what if we kiss.
No.no. shes not into girls.
But what if she is....
Something is tell me to do it....
I might just ask and if she says no then i say she miss heard....i must be brave i wanna know...
"Uh Maya....can i K-kiss you?" I asked my voice shook as i looked at her lips and back her eyes...they softened
"Yes you can"
She responded her words increased my heart rate was she serious...she said yes...i can kiss her...
I slowly moved in as our lips met my eyes closed,a wave of love washed over me,her lips were soft and warm they made me feel at home....it felt like we were in our own world where it was just us every care i had washed away oh gosh i really was in love with her.
My eyes opened slowly and as they did i spotted a figure in the door way.
This was bad.
There was my Papa... in the door way
He had seen it.
He had seen me not only kiss another girl but that girl was Maya Fey.
The girl he wanted me away from and here i was kissing her?!?.
W-what should i do.
"Franziska i-"Maya opened her mouth her faced looked concerned oh no...did i mess up that. my instincts kicked in as i jumped off the bed and ran to the door.
I looked up at him.
My papa,my vater and the look on his face was one of disgust,disappointment and a look that told me i had failed as a Von Karma.
I ran past him down the stairs i opened the door and noticed it was raining but i didn't care i had to get out of here...i had to leave somewhere anywhere but that house.
My emotions,my heart rate everything was speeding...as i ran to the park me and Maya hung out at....it was empty.
I sat on the swing.
Looked down at my feet as the tears fell alongside the raindrops.
I thought about how my life was over.
I had failed my family name and my father by disobeying him.....but not just that...i kissed Maya and her face after the kiss...i know she said yes but what if she didn't mean it...did i ruin our friendship too,if i tried to fix it she would tell me i was confused and theres nothing there and leave me....
My life slowly crumbled before my eyes...my heartbroke in everyway as i shivered in the pouring rain.
Maya POV
Franziska asked to kiss me !?!?
What else i am gonna say but
"Yes you can"
We leaned in our lips met and fireworks!
My heart fluttered in joy as i felt her soft comforting lips....it was amazing i i was blushing so hard but it didn't matter this moment was so perfect.....
I opened my eyes to Franziska who looked...scared? Was she scared that maybe i didn't like her back maybe or?
"Franziska i-"
She got up and ran...i was so confused until i turned around.
Manfred Von Karma stood in the door way.
He had seen us.
We were dead.
Franziska was now running past her dad...i wanted to follow her but i was scared...not just of Manfred Von Karma but because him being here reminded me of my aunt....how his current disgusted face would be just what she would look like if she were here then she woule yell at me how i was unworthy of my position and how werid i was for being with outsiders....this fear i hated it.
But it held me down i stared at Von Karma in fear thinking of my aunts words.....i closed my eyes, i tried to think of something that always cheered me up after my aunts words hurt....Mia....what would she said to me now...i then remembered"no matter what just follow your heart and believe in yourself and everything will be ok"...she was right i had to believe in my heart....i had to go after Franziska who cared about what others thought i loved her.
I opened my eyes and walked up to Von Karma looked him in the eyes
"Manfred Von Karma from what i have been told you seem like the worse father ever.Franziska deserved so much better than you.you never showed her any love so i will because perfect has never existed and your just a fucking little evil bitch"
I said what i had wanted to and then smiled at him as i ran down the stairs towards the door i noticed the rain and grabbed a umbrella.
As i ran outside and along the path i wondered where she went....then an idea maybe she was at the park i mean there was no where else close she went with nothing on her person.
The rain pitter pattered on my umbrella as i stopped at the entrance to the park.
I was right.
There she was a soaked blue haired sobbing on a swing....it was Franziska
She looked like a kitten stuck out in the rain.
I slowly approached her like one hoping to not scare her off but i don't think it mattered since she was sobbing so much she didn't notice.
I had never seen her face so red or tears run so fast...i knew it wasn't just rain...
As i arrived at the swing set she seemed to notice me.
She looked at me...her eyes were red tears still falling from them.
I walked in front of the swing she sat on
"Franziska..."
"You don't need to say it....that theres nothing romantic between us...that your not into girls...that you don't wanna be my friend again"
"Franzy... why would you think i would say that? I said you could kiss me so theres somethings between us and of course I'm into girls...more specifically you....which is why i don't wanna be your friend again"
"Wait what Maya-"
"I wanna be more than friends...girlfriends"
"R-really"Franziska said as she attempted and failed to wipe her tears on her soaked sweater
"Yes...i know your probably very overwhelmed right now so you don't have to give a answer yet you can give it some thought...now lets go home"
I reached out my hand
It was met with a weak smile
"Thank you Maya...wait home? But"i helped her up
"Your welcome and my house duh"i hand her the umbrella take my sweater off i was wearing a only a t shirt but i could live
"now please put my sweater on yours is soaked your gonna catch a cold"i say as i take umbrella back,she takes hers off and takes mine putting it on.
"Is that better now"
"Yes...Thank you Maya but you don't have anything but that you might catch a cold too"
"Its fine i use to dance in the rain I'm basically ammune to it"
"Ok..." Franziska moved in closer next to me talking my hand "i need the warmth"
"Good idea...now lets head home"
We headed off to my house
"Um Maya what about Miles and Phoenix..."
"Oh- your right hold the umbrella for a sec and i shall text them about the situation....i will be vague about if you want"
"No its fine...you can tell them"
"Ok"
After i sent it we went along the way as Franziska leaned into my body our hands together.
The rain stopped the pitter patter on the umbrella as i did it up when we arrived at the door.I then remembered that Mia should be home right now.
"Franzy what do you want me to tell Mia?"
"You can tell her what happened..."
"Ok you sure?"
"Yes..."
I knocked on the door
"Hi Maya....oh hello there Franziska"
Mia knew something was up she looked down at our hands that were still together.
"Hello Ms Fey" Franziska said
"Hey sis is it ok if Franziska says here tonight?"
"Oh...of course come in you two walked all the way here? I will go make some tea you must be cold"Mia says as we walk inside and she heads to the kitchen while i head to my room with Franziska
After we arrive i look through my draw with one hand and find some fluffy pants along with a t shirt and hoodie.
"You can change into these you must be cold still...they should fit i hope"
"They will...thank you"
"I'm gonna go talk to my sister you get changed"
"Ok" she said as i let go of her hand heading out to the kitchen area
"So Maya...what happened"
My sister knew something was up and of course she asked me as soon as i got here
"Well Nick and Edgeworth went out to get pizza since we were hungry and me and Franziska were in her room when....we kissed but.... Manfred Von Karma just appeared in the doorway and seen us and then Franzy ran out.Thats why she was soaked and i yelled at him and then ran after her with a umbrella i found her and figured she would not wanna go back home so i toke her here i hope thats ok"
"Its fine Maya....can't believe he happened to show up right when you two finally kissed thats some pretty terrible timing"
"I know right guess he came back early"
"Yeah...you said you yelled at him what did you say"
"Some words i do not wanna repeat to you...because they were bad but he deserved them"
"I'm proud of you for giving him some choice words bet you your one of the only people to have ever talked to him like that"
"Probably....when he stood in the doorwall he reminded me of aunt Morgan....i started to think what she would think....i was scared but i thought of you telling me about listening to my heart...thanks sis"i say while i hugged her
"Your welcome but your the one who helped yourself out there and I'm proud of you....i know what aunt morgen would think...but she doesn't matter.... what your heart feels is right thats always the way to go Maya"
"I know that thankfully....because i had you...Fransizka hadly had anybody to be that kind of figure...i guess she had Edgeworth but he use to be cold too..."My stomach rumbled
"You never had that pizza did you?"
"No"
"You want me to order you some?"
"Yes please! Now i gotta go check on Franziska....thanks sis"
"No problem Maya"
I headed back to my room
There stood Franziska in my clothes...she looked so cute!
"I'm back Mia is ordering us some food since we never got that pizza"
"I am a little hungry..."
"So the clothes fit are you warmer now?"
"Yes...thank you"
"No problem Franzy they make you even cuter...oh oh sorry i shouldn't say that"As i said it i watched her face flush
"No...its fine...i like those comments from you...uh about our relationship"
"Yes?"
"I didn't have to do much thinking....i am very unsure of my future right now but my feelings for you are something i have been sure of for a long time ....Maya fey....i...i habour romantic feelings for you too and would like it if we could be in a romantic relationship or how you say girlfriends .....you are one of the greatest things to ever happen to me"
Her words made me flush
"Awwwwww...Franzy you are so sweet!
Yes i would love to be your girlfriend also you are one of the greatest things to happen to me too you know...I'm so glad i met you"
"Like wise" Franzy was blushing as she said this and toke my hand
"Your so adorable Frazny? You know that?"
"Maya i am blushing....your more Adorable though...your also sehr schön"
"That word again what does it mean...Schön?"
"Oh...it means beautiful..."
"Aw wait- Didn't you say that to me when you were sick?"
"Y-yes....you called me cute when you were sick so i think we are even on that"
"Hehehe i guess we are...wait i called you cute ahen i was sick!?...oh i did"
"Hehe yes....So Maya um where i am going to sleep tonight"
"Oh you can sleep on my bed I'll make a makeshift bed on the floor for myself"
"I do not wish to make you sleep on the floor"
"No its fine unless you want us to both sleep on the bed...which might be a be uncomfortable"
"That is fine"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes...sure"
"Ok....you can change your mind at anytime if you want me to sleep on the floor though i tell you I'm use to it"
"I think is sharing the bed will be fine"
"Ok then babe"
"Babe....Maya fey did you use a pet name?"
"Yes....is that ok"
"Yes...."
"Hehe ok babe well i gotta get changed into some pjs so you can go wait out in the living room for the pizza and i will join you shortly"
"Ok...b-babe"she said quickly as she left my room
She- awwwwww she is so cute
Fran POV
My world had been shattered but Maya was helping me pick up the pieces somehow....yes what had happened hurt but at least i had Maya....she was my girlfriend....thinking about that made my heart flutter.
I sat down on the living room couch as i seen Ms fey walking over to me with some cups in her hands
"Here Franziska its hot so be careful"she said as she placed the cup in front of me.She then walked over again with two cups placing them on the table as she sat on the couch.
"So i heard what happened......me and Maya also had a name to live up to and that expectation....but i became a defense attorney and broke out of the toxic idels of the family....it toke time and it will take you time."
"I know..."
"If you ever need anything Franziska....I'm here for you..."
"Thank you Ms Fey"
"You can call me Mia or you can even call me sis if you want...since you and Maya are-"
"Wait you know..."
"Of course i know me and Maya are close"
"Your ok with it?Her dating a girl and it being me....a prosecutor?"
"Well i'm not straight...and i also have feelings for a prosecutor so of course i have no problem with it also....it doesn't matter who she wants to be with as long as she follows her heart and the person is good...and your good Franziska your not like your father you are your own person...."
"Ms- mia thank you...for being so kind"
"You don't need to thank me Franziska its fine also you have my blessings and support to date my sister"
"Oh thank you I'm sorry i didn't ask"
"Its fine though if you two ever get to the marriage stage i would like to know"
That comment made me red...
"Uuu yeah"
It was confusing but her advice was geniue from the heart...something i had never received...it made me feel better...even if i was unsure it was comforting...
I heard Mayas door open as she walked out in her sleepwear....she was so cute....
She sat in the middle of the couch between me and her sister.
"Now who wants to watch some steel samurai while we wait for pizza!"Maya yelled as she grabbed the remote and turned the tv on.
She got closer to me and toke my hand...i flushed...she was doing this in front of someone else?!.
"Oh...hey i got a message....they talked to him... and then now there at nicks"
"I see..."
"I can ask more about it later"
I was concerned sbout what had happened to Miles but it sounds like he was ok....
The night went on i watched steel samurai with Mia and Maya as we ate our pizza before i knew it i was so tired....i had a long day and emotionally draining day.
Me and Maya headed to her room i was nervous about sleeping in her bed but i wanted to be close to her after what happened
"So are you sure you don't want me to sleep on the floor"
"I'm sure"
"Ok then what side do you want"
"Either is fine"
"Ok I'll take the wall"
Maya said smiling as she got into her bed and i followed also slowly getting in
"Ok well night franzy"Maya said as she laid down
"Um Maya"
"Hm what is it"
"I-i just wanna thank you again...you have gave me experiences and helped me grow out more...i hope this can continue into the future. I am so greatful for you"
"Aw Franziska i feel the same way....you know at first i was scared of you...i thought we were so different but i was wrong. I learned you are so kind with a beautiful heart and that we are similar in many ways"
"Similar?"
"Well we both never really got to have normal childhoods because we had pressure put on us to be perfect...at the village my aunt pushed me alot after Mia left since I'm the next air but thankfully i had Mia to help me through it i held a brave face but you also did that but you hardly had anyone looking out for your wellbeing.
I mean Edgeworth yeah but hardly anyone was there for you not even your own father wanted you to just be a kid...similar to how my aunt mogan wanted me to not be a normal one either...and we both got away from those people who caused just that stress and we both don't know what the future holds for us with those people...but we are both strong...we will get though it"
Her words moved me i hardly knew i was crying before she reached her hand out to wipe it
"T-thank you...you are correct i did not realise that...we saved each other i guess"
"Yes we did! Screw the expectations from others we are who we want to be and we have all the time in the world to figure it out!"Maya said as she laided back down
"Yes...we do"
I smiled as i laided next to her and felt her hand take mine i smiled.
Maya POV
The event had emotionally drained me and Franziska,she had been staying with me for the last few days and we had been skipling school...she was concerned about if her father would come find her or be mad about her missing school but i explained she was safe here.She had metioned maybe talking with him but she knew it wouldn't go well if we did.
Mia was the one who offered to take us with her to her office for the day to get some air.
We thought it was a good idea and came with her.
A little while after our arrival Phoenix and Miles came in,we had yet to discuss what occured after we left and they ran into mr von karma...and i was curious i did probably make him mad after what i said.
"Morning everyone !" Phoenix said as he and Edgeworth walked in hand in hand"
Everyone responded with a morning of there own
"I said it was fine if you wanted the day off Phoenix"Mia said
"I know but i have some files i had to come and get today anyway so"
Phoenix gestured for miles to sit next to me and Franziska as he walked over to Mias desk
"So....Miles Edgeworth....uh what happened.. " Franziska said looking at tbe ground as she spoke to him
"Well we received the warning message but i wanted to talk with him....so we went in and ....lets just say he wasn't in the best mood"
"Yeah...did kinda insult him as i left"
"Wait what?" Franziska said as she turned to me
"You ?!?"
"Oh yeah i forgot to say um i said some choice words...to him"
"Maya....w-what did you say?"
"Don't get mad but something along the lines of Manfred Von Karma from what i have been told you seem like the worse father ever.Franziska deserved so much better than you.you never showed her any love so i will because perfect has never existed and your just a fucking little evil bitch"
The room even Mia and Phoenix who were dead quiet looked over at me.
"That explains his mad state" miles says a bit shocked
"That sounds kinda badass" Phoenix says
"Yeah he deserved it" Mia said
"I can't believe you...you were able to say that to him"Franziska was shocked
"You had the strength to stand up to my pap a man feared by so many and say that to him that you love me and call him out...i wish i was as brave as you Maya...i just ran away"her eyes were sad and glazed over
"Hey Franzy you are brave...your so strong you idured him for years.."
"But i havd been hiding.. i am a coward..."
"Franzy.."
"I- i have to go...i wanna talk to him" she said before anyone could say anything she was out the door"
"Franziska you don't need to to-"i said
"Franziska!" Edgeworth yelled
"Damn it....this is bad"
"Yeah"
"No this is really bad Maya.....he is unstable..and the other day me and Edgdworth found something"
"Something? And what do you mean?!"
"Evidence...that Manfred Von Karma killed my father" the room went quiet
"He...oh my gosh"
"We came to get the case i have been building it for a while...and the evidence...i don't think its good Franziska went off to him on her own" Phoenix said worried
"I gotta go after her!"
"Maya its dangerous" Edgeworth said
"Yeah duh thats why i gotta make sure shes ok"
"But your putting yourself in harms way too.."Phoenix said
"I know but i gotta help her...please let me go"
"Fine...were calling the police on him now though"Edgeworth said as i ran as fast i could hoping to catch her.
I approached the house and seen her at the gate walking in so i ran to her.
"Franziska! Stop!" I say panting
"No. I must do this"
"Its to dangerous... Fransizka, Nick and Edgeworth found evidence that he murdered Edgeworths dad...you can't risk it"
"What...really...he...truely is not my papa.....but i must do this no matter the risk....i need to prove myself"
"Franziska don't be foolish you don't need to prove anything"
"But i want to....i need this....please...i need to finish this..."
"Are you sure? You have to be careful?"
"I will"
Franziska walked towards the front door meanwhile i stood against the front of the house hidden by a large bush
She knocked.
(Fran pov)
There was a lump in my throat but i knew i had to do this.
"Franziska." My papa stared down at me his eyes were filled with rage. I was shaking but i had to do this.
"Hello papa."
"So are you finally here to apologise for your actions"
"Apologise?"
"YES . APOLOGISE"His voice was bomming and demanding but it didn't matter
"No"
"What did you say?"
"NO i will not apologise i have nothing to apologise for"
"FRANZISKA HOW DARE YOU...i gave you a chance and you refuse? You have disobeyed me all cause of that Miss Fey she has influenced you to much,i warned you before.She is nothing but a filthy homosexual who deserves to burn in hell for her sin and she is trying to bring you with her you must go to your room now if you wish for this to change...you will be punished for your horrid behavior"
"I can't believe you would say that about her...shes nothing like you said father she is a angel,her influence has made be a better person and opened my eyes and her loving me is not a sin....from what i know now you...your the one who is sinful"
"YOU ARE NO LONGER A VON KARMA!YOUR NOT WORTHY,YOU ARE FLAWED NOT PERFECT"
"NO YOU ARE NO LONGER A VON KARMA YOUR THE ONE WHO IS NOT WORTHY, YOU SAY I AM NOT PERFECT WELL NEITHER ARE YOU,YOU FAILED TO RAISE YOUR CHILDREN AND FAILED TO BE A GOOD FATHER...YOU HAVE FAILED AT YOUR JOB OF FIGHTING FOR JUSTICE TO I HEAR. SO SHUT THE FUCK UP MANFREAD VON KARMA"
"YEAH FRANZY!" Maya yelled as she ran up and held my hand
"YOUR HERE" My father yelled
"YES BECAUSE SHES SUPPORTIVE AND AMAZING UNLIKE YOUR BITCH SELF" I caught in the moment turn to Maya and kiss her my father screamed in disgust only making me madder "I LOVE HER WITH ALL MY HEART PAPA AND NOTHING WILL CHANGE THAT JUST LIKE NOTHING WILL CHANGE ABOUT YOU BEING A WEAK COWARD LITTLE BITCH WHO IS SO FILLED WITH HATE HE CAN'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING BUT HIMSELF NOW HAVE FUN IN JAIL!"
"Yeah BITCH!" Maya yelled as she jumped at my father and punched him
"YEAH!" I then kicked him with my strength as i then joined hands with Maya as we ran away hearing the police sirens
We ran down the street as they sped by
"I did it" i was smiling
"Yep I'm proud of you....also that was so badass"
"Hehe yes... oh i am sorry" i then remembered what i did
"For?"
"Kissing you..."
"Franzy you don't have to apologise for that it made the moment cooler!"
"Yeah"
"We gotta do that in front of my aunt Morgan!"
"You want to confront her?"
"Yeah just like you did just know i need to stand up like that for myself too so we can both be out own people and be badasses!"
Ii giggled at her...i loved maya so much it was indescribable she had saved me
