Klapollo Ace Attorney *Apollo justice*

"Alita Is A Shitty FIanceé"

the judge's eyes widen in shock

'Wh-Whaaaat!?'

just then, klavier spoke up, smile and all

'That reminds me. Apparently, the Kitakis have been asserting themselves in lawful business practices... They're making quite a great deal of money... a fortune, if you will'

the judge gasped dramatically

'Nefarious! So she planned to marry him just to get her hands on this fortune?'

just then, a loud voice spoke up, apollo gritted his teeth nervously as he recognized the voice, ..his client was acting out

'You keep talking trash about my Alita... ...and I'll sue you, lawyer-man!'

he threatened, glaring daggers at apollo,

'...Huh? Me!?'

'Yeah! You said... You said you'd... You'd... You'd abuse my Alita!'

he blinked and frowned at him

'Um, I think you mean "accuse"...!'

he corrected, wocky slammed down his hands on the stand

'Same difference! Well you can't have her! She's mine! It was me! I shot that doctor! Me! He left me to die, so I left him to die, too, there in that park!'

'W... Wocky!, Just cool down a second, please!'

he pleaded with him, wocky however, refused to listen to reason

'You keep your hands off my Alita! Or I'll...'

he trailed off as they all heard a loud laugh coming from the witness stand, everyone's eyes turned to alita

'M... Ms. Tiala?'

the judge asked, very taken aback from her sudden reaction, she cleared her throat

'I-I'm sorry. I just... It's been so long since I've laughed so hard'

apollo raised a brow at her

'Something funny?'

she turned her head at wocky

'...Wocky. Wake up and smell reality!'

'A... Alita-baby?'

he said, looking back at her all confused

'The signature on the chart, the engagement... I mean, come on! It's so obvious. Even for a brainless, spoiled brat such as yourself'

she spat out, wocky looked slightly hurt at that

'Alita...'

'Your honesty is like a breath of foul air, Fräulein'

klavier commented, alita "hmph" at him

'Hey, I wasn't getting out of this clean, anyway'

apollo chimed in

'So... The Family fortune is what you're really after!'

she nodded

'That's right. I wanted the money'

wocky refused to believe that

'No way! That's wack! I ain't trying to hear that!'

'Should have done the wedding earlier. Oh well. ...By the way, can I ask you a question?'

she turned her head at apollo

'Who, me?'

'I believe you said you were going to abuse me?'

she asked, apollo gave her an annoyed look

'...Accuse'

he grumbled out

'Of what crime, might I ask?'

Apollo look at her confused

'Oh, I'm a bad girl. Sure. I got close to that brat because I wanted his money. But he was the one with the pistol. He could've fired it into the safe after I'd already left the clinic'

she said, apollo stared at her

'What...?'

'I would never do a thing like that. It was definitely that silly brat'

she said, pointing at wocky with disgust

'Wait, but-'

trucy cut him to it

'What are you talking about!?'

she demanded, getting very serious, apollo almost flinched at her glaring, she had phoenix's glaring eyes

'T-Trucy...?'

he finally managed

'You had the most to lose if that chart was found!'

'...But I didn't have a pistol, now did I?'

she said with a little sly grin, trucy huffed out in irritation

'W-Well, you could have taken Wocky's!'

'You'd think he'd have mentioned that, no? All I've heard him say is, "It was me! I shot him!"'

apollo quickly cut in

'That's only because he's trying to protect you!'

he cried out, klavier then interjected

'Sorry to intrude in this lovely conversation, But the two of you are forgetting one critical point'

trucy looked at her with glaring intimdating eyes, apollo could only guess she picked that up from her father, her glare screamed "if you think your bad, think again, i'm your worst nightmare"

'What point!?'

she demanded

'Certainly, the Fräulein wanted that chart. You assume she threatened the doctor into opening that safe. But then... ...wouldn't she have taken the chart?'

trucy stopped her glaring as she came to that realization

'You see? That chart wouldn't have been left in that safe!'

she gritted her teeth

"He... He's right!"

just then, the judge suddenly spoke up

'...Ms. Tiala'

'...Yes?'

she replied

'It is clear to this court that you are not a very good fiancée'

alita grinned sinisterly

'Oh, I'm flattered'

he shook his head on disapproval

'Perhaps it's time you told us the truth? Tell us about yourself, including your actions and whereabouts on that day'

'Don't forget! We've proven that you were at the Meraktis Clinic on the day of the crime!'

apollo warned in his best demanding voice, he made a little mental not to himself to ask his boss on how to be more assertive when this was over
