It was a dull, dreary Monday morning as Phoenix Wright stepped off of the school bus along with Larry Butz, one of his two best friends.
‘Well, here we are, Nick – first day back at St Crapfords!’ said Larry.
‘Yep,’ Phoenix said glumly, ‘Hopefully Oldbag has finally quit or been fired or died or something...’
‘’Fraid not, Nicky boy,’ Larry said, pointing to the bike racks where the old grouchy caretaker Mrs Oldbag was yelling at Doug Swallow and Dahlia Hawthorne for kissing.
‘This is no place for your filthy shenanigans, you dirty whippersnappers!’ she screeched. Doug and Dahlia quickly hurried away, with Dahlia’s twin sister Iris trailing behind them.
‘Iris is so cute, man!’ Larry sighed, ‘I swear she’s got even cuter over the summer!’
Phoenix grinned. ‘Larry, will you EVER stop being so obsessed with girls?’
‘Hey, I can’t help being attracted to hot chicks!’ Larry said, ‘Surely you think they’re fit too, Nick?’
‘Yeah, I guess so…’ said Phoenix, ‘Well, d’you think we should find Edgy?’
‘He’s probably skulking around in the library.’
The two teenage boys headed inside the school building and up the stairs to the library. Their other best friend Miles Edgeworth – who everybody called ‘Edgy’ – was always at school ridiculously early, thanks to the fact that he got dropped off by Mr Von Karma, the much-hated maths teacher. At least the early hours saved him the embarrassment of being seen getting out of a teacher’s car.
Sure enough, Edgeworth was sat at a table, reading a thick book on Law. Usually he would be sat alone, but today there was a small girl sat next to him, reading an even bigger book about the legal system.
‘Hey, Edgy!’ Larry called across the library, causing the librarian to glare at him, ‘Who’s the babe?’
The young girl looked up. She had short bluish-grey hair, a pale face and piercing eyes. Her school uniform was immaculate, her blazer buttons all done up and her tie pulled right up to her collar.
‘Foolish fool!’ she snapped, ‘Do not refer to me as a ‘babe’!’ Suddenly she pulled out what looked like a whip, and whacked Larry across the shoulder. He yelped in surprise and jumped backwards.
‘Nick! She hit me! I got hit by a GIRL!’
‘That ought to teach you not to be such a foolishly foolish sexist fool,’ the girl said icily.
‘Franziska, do you mind not whipping my friends?’ Edgeworth said quietly.
‘Hmph!’ The girl named Franziska put away the whip and turned back to her book.
‘Sorry about that,’ Edgeworth said, putting his Law book to one side, ‘Phoenix, Larry, meet Franziska Von Karma. I guess you could say she’s my… foster sister.’
Franziska’s eyes flitted across the text of her book, refusing to acknowledge that someone was talking about her.
‘Uh… hi Franziska,’ Phoenix said nervously.
‘So, this is the Von Karma kid in Year 7 everyone’s been talking about?’ Larry said, ‘Man, it must REALLY suck to be Von Zombie’s daughter!’
Franziska whipped him so quickly that she didn’t even appear to move.
‘Ok, ok! I won’ insult you OR your Dad! Jeez!’ Larry sat down at the table, and Phoenix did the same.
‘So, have a good summer?’ Phoenix asked Edgeworth.
‘It was OK, I suppose,’ Edgeworth said, ‘Let’s see, what time is it?’ He glanced at the clock. ‘Ten to nine already! We’d better get to assembly!’ He shoved his book into his bag and stood up, followed by the others.
‘Hmm, I wonder which teachers we’ll get stuck with this year?’ Phoenix said as they walked down the stairs towards the main hall.
‘Dunno, but I really hope we don’t get maths with Von –’
Larry was interrupted as Phoenix whacked his arm; Franziska was walking right behind them.
‘I’m not going to pretend I didn’t notice that you almost insulted my father, the esteemed Manfred Von Karma,’ she said, ‘I don’t like you, Larry Butz, and I won’t be forgetting it!’
‘Franziska…’ Edgeworth said weakly as the little girl walked off into the small hall where the year sevens were being rounded up.
‘Man, that chick’s got issues!’ Larry snorted, ‘Not surprising, I guess, since she has Von Creepy as a Dad…’
The three boys stopped walking as they heard a deep cough coming from behind them. Mr Von Karma was stood there, looking formidable with his pale wrinkled face crumpled into a frown and his cold eyes staring at them.
‘M-Mr Von K-Karma!’ Larry stuttered, ‘I… uh…’
‘Detention. My classroom. Lunchtime,’ Von Karma said, then turned and walked off.
‘He’s so… scary!’ said Phoenix, ‘How the hell do you put up with him, Edgy?’
Edgeworth was about to answer when Oldbag appeared behind them and started yelling at them to hurry up and go into the hall. The school bell rung; the new year at St Lawford’s had officially begun.

Maya gulped as she looked up at the huge secondary school looming above her. It was so much bigger than her primary school; she was sure she was going to get lost right away.
‘Excited, Maya?’ Mia asked. Maya looked at her big sister, who had walked to school with her. Mia looked so confident and grown-up in her school uniform, whereas Maya just looked gawky and uncomfortable.
‘Mia, do you ever get lost on your way to lessons?’ she asked. She knew it was a pointless question; Mia wasn’t the kind of person who got lost trying to get to class.
‘It’s not as big and scary as it looks, honestly!’ Mia laughed, ‘Although… I’ll admit that I did get lost on the way to geography once on my first day here. I was in big trouble with Mr Payne when I turned up late!’
Maya looked even more worried. What if the teachers all hated her and gave her detentions?
‘Aw, Maya, it will be fine! I promise! It’s not a bad school, really!’ Mia reassured her, ‘You’ll be fine! Come on, year sevens have to go to the small hall over this way!’
She led Maya in through a doorway, down a corridor and into a hall which was actually quite big despite its name. The head girl, Lana Skye, was ticking off names on a register. Maya recognised her as Mia’s best friend and smiled at her.
‘Hi Mia!’ Lana said, ‘Oh, hi Maya! Let’s see… Fey, Maya! Ok, I’ve ticked you off!’
Mia quickly hugged her sister. ‘I need to go now Maya, see you soon! Good luck!’
‘Thanks, sis!’
They had arrived at school fairly early, and not many year sevens had got to the hall yet. Maya noticed a girl with dark brown hair and a white coat which looked a lot like a lab coat stood by Lana’s side.
‘Maya, this is my little sister Ema,’ Lana said, ‘It’s her first day today too. Ema, this is Maya Fey – she’s my friend Mia’s little sister.
The two girls said ‘hi’ and smiled at each other nervously.
‘Why don’t you two go and sit down?’ Lana suggested. Ema and Maya walked over to the corner where some other kids were sitting.
‘Wow, you have a Steel Samurai backpack!’ Ema said, ‘That’s so cool!’
‘Thanks! I like your badges,’ Maya said, pointing to the colourful badges pinned onto Ema’s coat.
They sat down, and immediately knew that they would be friends.

Phoenix, Larry and Edgeworth sat next to each other in the school hall as more and more students began to fill up the rows of chairs; the traditional start-of-term assembly was infamous for being totally boring. The teachers were sat up on the stage; Mr Von Karma looked as terrifying as ever, and Mr Gant, the deputy headmaster (and chemistry teacher), was staring at everyone over the top of his pink glasses. Dr Grey, the dull biology teacher, was trying to stop his own glasses from falling off.
‘Why can’t he just get some glasses that fit properly?’ Phoenix whispered to Larry, who shrugged. Mrs Oldbag happened to walk past at that moment, and yelled at them to be quiet.
Phoenix turned his attention back to the stage. The French teacher Mr Armstrong was flexing his muscles at Mr Misham the art teacher, who twitched his nose and looked unimpressed. Ms Vasquez, who taught history, was smoking her pipe whilst the geography teacher Mr Payne tried to strike up a conversation, without much success. The grouchy sports teacher Mr Kudo was sat next to the ICT teacher Miss Basil, who was trying to avoid getting hit by the seeds he seemed to constantly throwing, whilst also trying to dodge Ms Fey the RE teacher’s large, poofy black hair. Ms Bikini, the DT teacher, was sat on the end of the row, her cheeks wobbling as she laughed at nothing in particular. In front of the stage, Dr Hotti was skulking around, eying up the female students. Since he was only the school doctor, he wasn’t considered important enough to sit with the teachers, but he was still expected to be there for the first assembly of the school year.
Suddenly there was a loud throat clearing, and Principal Judge stepped out onto the stage. The teachers and students all fell silent.
‘Welcome to another wondrous school year at St Lawfords!’ he began. Larry groaned as he pulled out a long reel of paper with his customary start-of-year speech written on it. ‘It is good to see so many bright, happy faces eager to learn. I hope that this year will be one of prosperity and enlightenment…’
Phoenix slumped back in his chair, beginning to daydream as the headmaster’s speech droned on in the background. The sound of doors swinging open made him sit up straight; the Year Sevens were being led into the hall.
‘Whoa, those year seven girls are real cuties!’ Larry whispered, watching as a long trail of boys and girls followed the head girl Lana Skye, and sat down in the front few rows of the chairs in the hall.
‘Aren’t they a little young for you, Larry?’ Edgeworth whispered.
‘Pretty girls can never be too young, Edgy!’

Maya gasped as she walked into the main hall, with Ema close behind her.
‘Wow! It’s so huge!’
She looked around the gigantic hall, which was filled with unfamiliar faces. Mia was sat on one of the back rows with the other year elevens, but Maya managed to catch her eye and she gave her a small smile.
Ema’s big sister Lana directed them towards the front row of chairs, and they sat down, feeling the eyes of the rest of the school burning on their backs. Maya turned around slightly and saw a lanky, spiky-haired boy watching them. He winked as he saw Maya looking at him.
‘Larry! She’s a bit young to be your girlfriend!’ Maya heard a boy with spiky black hair whispering. Another smartly-dressed boy with greyish hair was next to them; he smirked at them both.
‘Greetings to all the new students here at St Lawfords!’ said a man with a bushy grey beard who was in the centre of the stage, ‘As I’m sure you are aware, I am the headmaster, Principal Judge.’
Lana got up on the stage to stand with the head boy, a strange young man with purple hair and dazzling jewellery.
‘This is the head boy Redd White and head girl Lana Skye. They are here to help any new student who gets lost or has a problem, so don’t feel afraid to ask them if you’re in trouble,’ Principal Judge continued, gesturing towards Lana and Redd. Both of them smiled; Redd’s white teeth seemed to flash and sparkle when he opened his mouth.
‘So, now that all the new students are here, I’d better continue with my speech!’ The headmaster coughed, and then started waffling on about motivation and education. Maya wasn’t listening, and was glad when the speech finally finished. Mr Judge sat down, and a tanned, grey-haired man in an orange suit stood up.
‘To all of those who don’t know me, I am Mr Gant, the deputy headmaster. Great speech by the way, Udgey! Now, Reddo is going to read out your names in alphabetical order, and you will come up to collect your new timetable from Lana.’
Maya tried not to laugh at Mr Gant’s weird nicknames.
‘Ooh, a timetable! I can’t wait!’ Ema whispered excitedly. Maya didn’t really see what was so great about a timetable; she was just worried about the embarrassment of going up on the stage to collect it.
‘Once you have received your timetable, you must head off to lessons immediately,’ said Mr Gant. He handed a long list of names to Redd White, who began to read them out.

Phoenix was practically asleep by the time Mr Judge’s speech ended. Edgeworth nudged him when Mr Gant stood up.
‘They’re giving out timetables,’ he hissed.
‘Oh,’ Phoenix said, ‘This is so boring! I hate being a Wright!’
Since his surname was near the end of the list, Phoenix always ended up sitting around until nearly everyone had gone.
‘Aw, I wish I was at the end of the alphabet!’ said Larry, ‘Then I could see all the cute girls getting their timetables!’
He wolf-whistled as Adrian Andrews went up onto the stage. She glared at him.
‘Berry, Regina,’ said Redd. A blonde haired girl with bright blue eyes got up to get her timetable.
‘Man, she is SO cute!’ Larry gasped, ‘I’m gonna ask her out at break time!’
‘She’s only a year seven!’ said Phoenix, ‘Year tens CAN’T date year sevens! It’s like… the law!’
Larry was about to answer when his name was called out. There was a small snigger throughout the hall at the word ‘Butz’, but Larry didn’t appear to notice. Edgeworth’s name was called out not long afterwards, and Phoenix was left alone. Matt Engarde… Terry Fawles… Phoenix watched intently as he heard the name ‘Fey’ being called out. He sat up straight, his eyes on the stage. A small, dark-haired girl got up and collected her timetable; this wasn’t what he’d been expecting.
‘Hey, is that gal Mia Fey’s lil sister or somethin’?’ Lotta Hart was saying from somewhere behind him. But Phoenix wasn’t listening, because the next name had been called out, and an angel was walking past him and up onto the stage.
Mia Fey.
He thought to himself that she’d got even more gorgeous over the summer, if that was even possible. To Phoenix, Mia Fey was a living perfection. Everything about her was stunning. She was in year eleven, and a model student, yet for some reason nobody teased her about being the teachers’ favourite, or about the fact she was head of the after-school debate club. Somehow she managed to look absolutely amazing in her school uniform, even though it looked awful on everyone else. She had a great figure, and the most gorgeous pair of legs. Phoenix couldn’t help staring as she walked past, in her usually fitted blouse and short skirt, with a pair of high heels on her feet. In fact, he could’ve sworn that she looked at him as she collected her timetable from Lana. He drank in every detail; her beautiful face, her brown eyes, her perfect lips, her shiny brown hair, the cream coloured scarf she always wore around her neck, her-
‘Phoenix, you just drooled on your tie,’ said Kristoph Gavin. Phoenix blushed, quickly wiping off the saliva and hoping not too many people had noticed him drooling at Mia Fey. But from the looks on their faces, it seemed that pretty much the whole school had noticed. He looked up; to his disappointment, Mia had already gone. He just hoped she hadn’t seen him dribble down his school tie…
‘Hehehe! He’s, um, gone, totally, like, bright red!’ Ini Miney said.
‘Oooh, naughty boy, I see you still have a huge crush on Mia Fey!’ April Maya giggled, ‘I bet he takes photos of her and pins them on his bedroom wall! He certainly looks like the pervy type!’
‘Shut up, April!’ Phoenix snapped, ‘You think you’re so great, but everyone knows you’re a slut!’
‘Heehee, calm down! Looks like someone’s getting a bit overexcited…’
‘May, April!’ Redd called.
She tapped Phoenix on the nose as she stood up. ‘Sorry, big boy, but I don’t think Mia Fey is gonna fall for YOU anytime soon!’
He blushed as he heard Ini Miney and Cindy Stone laughing behind him. But April was right… Mia Fey would never even think twice about a guy like him, especially since he was younger than her. But he just couldn’t help fancying her. The worst thing was, he felt like this was more than a crush… he was irreversibly in love with Mia Fey.
