I ALSO MADE AN AA5 REMAKE IDEA LIST LIKE A WHILE AGO HERE:

case 1:

- basic case, get into the grove of things

- against a payne cause LOL

- jury system trial run 2.0

- phoenix there to oversee it and heckles apollo for the lols (assistant)

- scarecrow murder

case 2

- start off with phoenix saying something ominous before disappearing for the rest of the case. trucy with apollo

- blackquill’s arrest with athena showing up at wright anything agency. she also sticks with apollo for the case

- new prosecutor. don’t know who, but they’re convinced that phoenix did forge evidence and that edgeworth is covering up for him (important later but doesn’t come up during this case beside some general goading)

- edit blackquill’s arrest to make it more political. maybe he’s a prosecutor from overseas that edgeworth brought in?

- jury system isn’t used. explained as phoenix working on something

case 3

- jury systems there. phoenix is not.

- phoenix is back and gives apollo a case then disappears again

- apollo thinks it’s simple. or he would if phoenix didn’t give it to him

- suspiciously little evidence

- phoenix shows up, gives apollo some papers, then leaves

- same prosecutor. realizes halfway through someone tampered with the evidence. accuses apollo.

- papers are a list of who came and went into the evidence locker during the investigation. apollo presents it as proof he never showed up

- prosecutor seems shocked by something and forcibly ends the trial for the day

- apollo ends up talking to the prosecutor and asks what’s so shocking. the prosecutor doesn’t answer, so apollo goes to the defendant to ask if they recognize any names. they do but won’t say who due to danger or whatever

- apollo investigated the crime scene again. miraculously, there’s more evidence around.

- apollo goes back to the agency to hear edgeworth and phoenix talking. all he manages to get before being found is “we will catch her”. when asking who “she” is, he’s told he doesn’t need to know

- second day, prosecutor shows up with a new witness, who claims to know something about the missing evidence.

- there’s a lot of stuff that happens, but eventually, apollo realizes that the new witness knows something about the evidence that they could only know if they had seen it, and they claim to have just seen it taken

- witness ends up arrested. real killer not found.

case 4

- phoenix is there from the beginning. says something about final testing for the jury system and mentions some sort of secret coming out. when pressed further, he just laughs

- jury includes apollo and trucy’s mom

- same prosecutor. shows up at crime scene, demanding to speak with phoenix. phoenix obliges, leaving apollo on his own.

- when asking the detective on site what they could be talking about, apollo is told a story about the prosecutor’s parent being disbarred for forging evidence. prosecutor helped with disbarment

- unsure of what to do with that information, apollo investigates the scene. this time, there seems to be too much evidence, and phoenix shows up to tell him he should get it all checked. mentions something about an attempt on his life before closing off and leaving

- when checking evidence, a large number of it is proved to be falsified. when asked about it, apollo denies any knowledge, and he’s let go due to the fact that he brought it in

- prosecutor shows up again. apollo asks about evidence on scene and if they knew it was faked. they did not, and apollo asks if they want to look together to find out who faked it. prosecutor agrees, but on the condition that they share evidence for the upcoming trial. apollo agrees and the prosecutor goes to ask around about the falsified evidence while he stays behind to search the crime scene.

- trial begins. apollo shares his evidence and prosecutor tells him about witnesses coming up. phoenix and edgeworth pass by, not stopping, but apollo hears edgeworth mention something asked of the prosecutor. when asked, the prosecutor admits that when they took phoenix aside for a conversation that they don’t tell apollo the contents of, he had asked them if they’d be willing to share information with the defense in an attempt to make the trial more fair. they declined up until they heard apollo say something about forged evidence. they decided to ask just in case apollo did have something to do with the forging so they could get it checked themself. when asked why phoenix wanted them to do that, they admitted that they didn’t know. apollo decides to ask phoenix at a later time.

- stuff happens, and apollo realizes a piece of evidence is forged right before the prosecution presents it. he demands a recess and tells the prosecution of his suspicions. the prosecutor brushes him off saying that he has to do more than that to throw them off their game. apollo tells phoenix of his suspicions and phoenix tells him that it’s part of a plan. when asked if the prosecutor knows that, phoenix tells apollo that it wouldn’t work if they did. apollo gets pissed off but goes back into the courtroom.

- the forged piece of evidence is presented, and gumshoe ends up coming in. he tells the judge that all the evidence that was considered forged all went through one detective and that the piece just presented was one of the few pieces that remained intact. court closes for the day to investigate

- when apollo confronts phoenix after the trial, phoenix tells him that he did tell the prosecutor but wasn’t believed. he then said that he didn’t want to tell apollo because he still believes the prosecutor is on their side but that the prosecutor doesn’t believe they’re on their side, and that if apollo knew what phoenix had told them without the full story, he probably would’ve assumed there was something wrong with the prosecutor. when pressed further, phoenix admits that he was the one who told the prosecutor of their father’s crimes, though he was anonymous at the time. however, when the first jury trial happened, the prosecutor figured out it was him and assumed he knew due to the fact that he had done the same thing, and phoenix hadn’t argued. when asked why not, he said that if the prosecutor believed that there were larger amounts of intentional forgery than there is, then they’d be more suspicious and therefore more able to catch things that edgeworth, phoenix, and apollo all missed due to edgeworth being too high up to see those things, phoenix only being involved in the jury system, and apollo being a defense attorney. apollo tells him that that’s manipulative and phoenix agrees before leaving. apollo gets frustrated and leaves to go to the crime scene

- at the crime scene, the prosecutor shows up looking pale. when they see apollo, they apologize immediately and ask if he has any more suspicions. apollo realizes that the prosecutor now being more friendly with him was probably also phoenix’s intention, but he agrees to go over the evidence after they finish investigating anyway. when they get to the scene, though, they aren’t allowed entry due to the fact that it’s being investigated due to the forgery. when protesting, edgeworth appears and allows them in. before he goes in, though, apollo asks edgeworth what his and phoenix’s plan is. edgeworth just tells them that they’re looking to end the dark age of law and leaves.

- when on the crime scene, the prosecutor asks apollo why phoenix doesn’t have his badge yet. apollo says he hasn’t thought about it. the prosecutor wonders if it’s because the dark age of law isn’t over and he believes that someone is needed that isn’t affiliated with the defense or prosecution. when apollo points out that phoenix is affiliated with him, the prosecutor mentions phoenix going to the prosecutor’s office for multiple prosecutors. when asked which ones, the prosecutor says something about klavier along with edgeworth and a few that they aren’t entirely sure about but they think have a good chance of being involved. apollo resolves to talk to klavier as soon as possible.

- they find a few more pieces on the crime scene, but the most startling is a bloody ace. when asked about it, the detective says they don’t know how it got there, and picks it up. apollo notices she’s lying and eventually pressures her to admitting that someone forced her to put it on the scene of the crime and remove it once apollo had seen. the prosecutor asks apollo if he knows what it’s from and he lies and says no before heading back to the wright anything agency.

- when back, he tells phoenix about the ace. phoenix says he’s surprised that that’s the route she went with and reassures apollo that nothing will happen, and if it does, phoenix will just tell them that it was him who did it and never told apollo. apollo tells him that that isn’t better and phoenix disagrees, saying that a few more years in ruin won’t be much. apollo says something about trucy and phoenix tells him that since he has yet to get his badge, it won’t change much. apollo argues that it’d be more charges against her father and phoenix tells him that at least they’d be correct. finally, apollo asks phoenix why he doesn’t have a badge and phoenix just tells him that there’s more he needs to do before that can happen then leaves. trucy then reveals to apollo that she was there the whole time and admits that she’d rather phoenix not go through that again. apollo agrees and tells trucy that he’ll look into ways of making sure it doesn’t come out.

- conclusion of the trial. no new news comes out, and the mother doesn’t make herself known

case 5

- news of the forged ace comes out

- phoenix tries to take the fall but apollo does before him

- he says that he knew kristoph was behind phoenix’s disbarment and that he killed the victim in that trial but he had no way to prove it so he had the ace placed there

- phoenix tries to argue that since the ace was found on the scene the day of the murder, that was impossible, but apollo points out that he could’ve just followed kristoph. when asked why he didn’t report as a witness, apollo says that he was afraid of what kristoph could do.

- it gets taken to trial, and apollo tries to take his own defense. before he can do that, phoenix reveals that he already has his badge and has since his acquittal. when asked how, he says something about edgeworth

- it’s decided to be a jury system trial. the prosecutor is the same as throughout the game, though they visibly have doubts about the whole thing.

- the prosecution has a witness to bring to the stand, but before they can, klavier shows up.

- he says he can’t prove or disprove apollo did anything but he can give character testimony and why he believes that guilty or not, apollo shouldn’t be punished.

- the jury grants his request and he admits that about four years into phoenix’s disbarment, edgeworth had approached him. originally, he had thought that edgeworth just wanted to yell at him, but instead, he had told him about the current evidence they had against kristoph. it has convinced klavier of his brother’s guilt, and from there on, he had worked with edgeworth to decrease his reach.

- phoenix hadn’t known about this and is visibly shocked. he gets upset, but before he can say anything, klavier reminds him that he kept much worse from edgeworth and that if anyone has the right to be mad due to those seven years, it’s him. phoenix reluctantly agrees but still says that he doesn’t agree with how that happened. klavier tells him that it doesn’t matter and that it already happened.

- klavier continues on to say that they did find evidence against his brother but that it was always disposed of before anything could happen, even when it wasn’t possible for kristoph himself to get his hands on it. he says that catching the people who took care of that evidence was what he and edgeworth were doing and names a few people they arrested, including the prosecutor’s father. when the prosecutor asks phoenix about it, phoenix just says that he figured he was the best target for the prosecutor’s anger and he didn’t really feel the need to correct them.

- klavier then says that by the time phoenix got arrested for murder, they still hadn’t got everyone, saying that’s why he decided to come back to the states. he tells the court that the only way they could’ve gotten kristoph arrested was by either taking away his entire network or forging something, and since they hadn’t taken away his entire network by the time phoenix got arrested, they were considering forging evidence themselves. klavier says that prior to apollo’s arrest, he had believed phoenix forged the ace, and that no matter who did it, no one deserved to be punished before leaving. phoenix reiterates that it was him and apollo once again disagrees.

- the witness finally comes in. she seems shocked to see phoenix at the defense stand and apollo as the defendant. phoenix tries to goad her into saying that he was the one who forged the ace but it doesn’t work. the witness says she saw apollo put the ace on the scene somehow someway, look, the point is, she’s covering for someone due to being threatened, and once this is discovered, someone (edgeworth or gumshoe) comes in with a list of people who have been put under similar threats.

- witness from case 3 is on the list

- when asked the meaning of this, whoever came in simply says that this witness testimony must be thrown out and that without it, they don’t have the proof needed to punish apollo.

- there’s a short recess and apollo approaches gumshoe to ask about someone with the description of the detective who pulled the ace from the crime scene of the fourth trial

- gumshoe admits that he knows no one with that description and says he’s going to check for her

- she’s the blackmailer. woo.

- shit happens, and blackmailer gets into the courtroom and eventually gets caught. she leaves with a warning abt the dark age of law and phoenix laughs at her

- apollo ends up being found not guilty by the jury on the grounds of them not thinking any real proof was found and that even if there was, he still wasn’t guilty of anything

- there’s a cut scene of apollo and trucy’s mom on the jury, selecting not guilty

- at the end, apollo and phoenix are outside the courtroom, talking and apollo ends up asking for more clarification on the dark age of law

- phoenix ends up explaining that the only reason this is considered the dark age of law is bc the corrupt ppl keep getting caught, causing faith to be lost in the court system. he tells him that this’ll be what they need to enact systematic change and it’s a necessary step for his and edgeworth’s plans to move forward

- when apollo asks about said plans, phoenix just says to make things better. apollo gets frustrated, saying he should be allowed to help, which causes phoenix to laugh and tell him that he’s already helping

- ends with athena coming in and asking to join wright anything agency

end notes: not 100% on all of this (phoenix having his badge and klavier helping jail his brother r the most questionable) but the idea of following the theme of corruption and struggling to help when you don’t have all the info (sorry apollo lol) along with moving forward the dark age of law plot feels like it’d! be! so! good! anyway, aa6 in this universe would probably revolve more around restoring ppl’s faith and the enactment of phoenix and edgeworth’s efforts to overhaul the court system (think letting defense attorneys have access to the same info as prosecutors and not being allowed to present evidence in court unless it’s examined by the police). ends with a final trial where apollo’s mother is on trial and ends up revealing herself to him and trucy which includes an instance of apollo having to choose between presenting unexamined evidence (since the new system isn’t fully implemented) or not presenting it, leaving it 100% up to the player. either way, it goes to be examined (prosecutor demands it if presented, apollo gets assistant (trucy) to get it examined if not), and comes up as fake. ends court for that day and shows an actual investigation into the forged evidence instead of just blaming apollo (with phoenix there mentioning he wished they did that for him) and it ends up leading them to the forger, who ends up being the killer and admits to being the killer in case of 5-3. phoenix and apollo talk at the end and phoenix says that that person was the last of their list of what they assumed to be kristoph’s group and that, for the first time since he got disbarred, he is no longer hunting for corruption. says he’ll still keep an eye out but that he trust that the changes to the system he and edgeworth added along with the new blood in the field such as apollo and athena (athena will mostly be a judicial assistant in this due to her still learning to be a lawyer). phoenix reveals that he and edgeworth are still doing research into new systems they could possibly implement, but since edgeworth can’t research in other countries, he’s going instead. he repeats mia’s line in aa3 telling him he’s all good as a lawyer to apollo before entrusting him with wright anything agency. ends with something with trucy, apollo, phoenix, athena, and lamirior (maybe them seeing phoenix off to his research?? idk) and some sort of conversation with trucy, apollo, and lamirior, tying up that loose end somehow. most of the other cases will revolve around learning whatever system edgeworth and phoenix decided was chill and will feature different prosecutors in each case to show how it affects each of them differently

apollo justice trilogy ideas

because capcom fucking WASTED the potential they had with aa4 and the storytelling of the trilogy deserved to be replicated with more characters

What ia Malevolent, the art you reblogged looked amazing and I want to know what the context is

YES THANK YOU FOR ASKING

its a podcast it was made as a sort of game for patreon supporters of a different podcast which is like a ttrpg play podcast called dice shame

ttrpg podcasts arent rlly my thing i havent listened to one since taz balance lol

anyway ill circle back to that but heres the premise: a man wakes up in an office without his memory or his eyesight, and theres a voice in his head. the voice has control of his eyes

they both want to figure out what happened, and how to separate themselves

its quickly established that arthur is a private investigator in the city arkham (from lovecraft mythos not like. batman lol)

also that theres a dead body in the office with them

i wont get into it too much but they like. have to learn to work together and trust each other and. oooh its so good. it gets. pretty messy and codependent 👀

you know what i mean?

its based off a ttrpg called call of cthulu but you dont have to be familiar with that to like it

and i said it was a game. the free version of the podcast is released like once a month in like hour ish long chunks

but for the patrons theres a 10-15ish minute episode every week, and at the end of each episode they get to vote on what arthur and the entity do

HIGHLY recommended i even made a patreon account so i coulr vote i love interactive fiction

OH OH and the guy that writes it also performs ALL THE VOICES

and you think ok a one man show i kinda know what to expect but like. its IMPRESSIVE. like. he HAS the range. like obvi he uses audio effects to like supplement the fact thats its all him but DAMN ITS STILL RLLY IMPRESSIVE

I know podcasts arent for everyone tho but if you like horror and like. monster and human cooperation in your fiction (i go nuts for the stuff) highly highly recommended i went fully insane for it and listened to it twice back to back

sorry this took so long im at work i hope i did a good job describing it and making it sound good cause it rlly rlly is ok byyyye

◠◡◠◡｡･:*:･ﾟ★,◠◡◠◡

Your eyes narrowed and you furrowed your eyebrows as you noticed Karl in the distance, he looked as if he was moving towards you so you were wondering what business he was up to.

“Karl! What’re you doing?” You called out to him but he snubbed you and ignored your question “Fine, ignore me then asshole!” You scoffed and returned to what you were doing, you try to act nice and he doesn’t play along!

You went back to crafting, putting the sticks together and cursing yourself once you realized you didn’t have all the correct materials. You sighed and held onto your nose bridge in annoyance “I can’t believe I forgot to get the red stone!” You grumbled.

This meant more work for you today and you were already tired of it, you sat down and tried to think of a way to get out of doing more hard labor for the day. You got an idea and stood up, there’s got to be someone on the server with red stone right?

You exited your humble house and approached the first person you saw outside which happened to be Purpled “hey! I’m sure that you’ve probably got some on you so I was wondering if I could borrow some red stone? Or just take it from you..” you asked politely “oh I Uh- I actually ran out, I used the last of it on this build right here!” He stood back and presented the stupidest thing you’ve ever seen.

You nodded “oh alright then- thanks anyways” you passed him and walked down the trail, perhaps Eret had stolen some off of someone and could let you borrow a few? You walked up to him and smiled “greetings! Do you have any spare red stone that I could please use?” You bowed down slightly.

“Oh no, I’m afraid that I don’t have any! I know who does have a whole supply of red stone though!” Eret’s voice sounded condescending and almost patronizing “oh really? That’s great! Who is it?” You smiled excitedly “It’s Karl!” Eret replied.

Your face fell and you frowned, your happiness was wiped from your face and you gave Eret a deadpan look “why does it have to be him?” You groaned “oh I’m sure someone else will have some, you’ll just have to check around..” Eret then scattered away.

You knew that Eret is normally right, she won’t let anyone prove them wrong, so you knew that Karl was probably your best bet at retrieving some red stone. You wiped your face and made your way over to Karl’s whereabouts.

You knocked on the door of his house and waited for him to open the door, you watched as Karl peeked through the curtain and then quickly ran away to pretend that no one was home. You banged on his door angrily “Karl, open up! I just need some red stone!” You yelled out.

“No ones home!” He screamed back at you, you sighed and lowered your head “what a fucking idiot..” you thought out loud, Karl gasped and opened the door “that’s quite rude, don’t you think??” He crossed his arms and huffed. “Oh great- you’re home, can I have that red stone now??” You gave a fake smile “what makes you think I’m gonna give it up so willingly?” Karl rose an eyebrow. What a pretentious fuck.

“Because if you hand it over now then I’ll leave you alone for the rest of the day!” You had hoped that your plan would work “who says that I want to be left alone? Maybe I want to pester you all day!” Karl teased “oh come on! I just need the red stone, give it up!” You held your hands up in defense “oh nuh-uh! That belongs to me!” He blocked the doorway.

You pushed him gently and tried to steal his red stone but he tackled you to the floor, you kicked him off you and then stood back up to dust yourself off “listen here- if you do something for me than I’ll happily give it to you” Karl offered.

“Fine, asshat, what is it?” You had already expected him to send you doing something horrible or incredibly dangerous “I need you to just give this to Quackity, he said he needed it” Karl handed you a bag full of just dirt “he needs a bag of dirt? This seems like the most useless task ever!” You exclaimed.

“It’s not useless if you’re getting something out of it, come back here when you’re done” he shut the door on you and left you to go on your quest. You knew it’d be an easy task, so why did Karl send you to do it? Did he not think you could do it? Did he underestimate you?

You walked back to your house and equipped yourself with some leather boots, they should help your feet with the long walk. You got back up and got back onto the trail, you flung the bag over your shoulder and coughed as some of the dirt came out.

You arrived in Las Nevada’s pretty fast to be honest! Your eyes glanced over the beautiful sight, Las Nevadas is a wonderful place! If you weren’t a traveler than you’d like to settle somewhere like this.

“Quackity!” You came up to the building and called out for him, yelping and jumping back when a little green man appeared behind you “AH!” You screamed and dropped the bag “Oh! You have my dirt! Thank you, Mx. Jacobs!” He ducked down “what?! What did you call me??” You bent down.

He popped back out of the dirt “Mx. Jacobs, Karl Jacob’s partner!” He smiled cheerfully “I’m not dating Karl! And my name is Y/n!” You spat out “oh really, you’re not?? But I heard Karl talking about how much he loves you! I must’ve misunderstood, goodbye Y/n (not the partner of Karl Jacobs)!” He sunk back down but you pulled him back up.

“Hey- no! I wanna talk!” You desperately spoke “oh sure! I have time to kill anyways!” He stuck his tongue out “who are you?” You asked curiously “I’m Charlie slimecicle! You’re Y/n the traveler, Karl’s partner!” Charlie stated incorrectly.

“Hey- no. I hate Karl” you crossed your arms “really?? I was getting the impression that you liked him from the way that you stare at him lovingly from afar” Charlie shrugged “WHAT- HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT? I DONT DO THAT!!” You quickly tried to defend yourself.

“Don’t defend yourself, I already said that Karl likes you too!” Charlie was a chill guy “then why does he purposefully irritate me so much?!” You complained “I dunno! I’m gonna go with my bag of dirt now..” Charlie disappeared and this time you weren’t able to catch him.

You continued to sit there for a while, just thinking to yourself about things ‘does Karl really like me?’ You thought. You shook the feeling off “hold on- I don’t even like him! Charlie was talking non-sense!” The words coming out of your mouth did not match the way you were feeling.

Your heart was in your mouth, your chest was sore and your lungs were gasping for air as your hair was beating faster and faster “oh god- shit.. maybe I do like him! I mean.. those times that we don’t fight are really nice” you were conflicted. You decided that it’d be better to just confront your problems so you stood up and went back home.

You knocked on the door of Karl Macon’s house, he answered immediately and snickered “great, you made it back, thought you might die out there” he teased you. You rolled your eyes “cut the shit, Slime boy told me all about you” you accused “oh yeah? Told you what?” Karl backed up a bit “he told me that you had a little crush?” You leaned against the doorframe.

“Maybe I do, what about it?” Karl looked away and lowered his head a bit “well maybe I like you too. I don’t know, I still find you annoying and irritating!” You confessed “I wouldn’t like it any other way. Would you consider dating me?” Karl reached out and grabbed your hand gently “oh fuck-“ you cursed.

“If you’d of asked me any other day than my answer would be so clear! If you’d asked me yesterday than I’d say no but- maybe I like talking to you and arguing with you a little too much to just be your enemy.” You dropped your head and started to blush.

This was a very embarrassing situation for you and you didn’t know what to do “so you’re not sure if you like me or not?” Karl asked “correct. I mean- I’d stare at you from far away and blush but that doesn’t necessary mean that I like you, right?” You hesitated.

“Are you afraid that you might like me?” Karl walked closer towards you “maybe a bit. We’ve been enemies for so long, I’m afraid of what will happen between us if we stop” you answered “I’m sure we’ll still find things to fight about when we’re together” Karl smiled “well- than yes! I’ll go on one date with you” Karl squealed with joy.

“Yes! You’re making me the happiest man alive!” He hugged you “yeah, yeah, am I gonna get that red stone anytime soon?” You pestered him “sure thing! Can I pick you up later tonight?” Karl asked you “8’o clock and no time later than that” you replied before walking off with his red stone.

“Hey wait!- can I kiss you? Just this once?” Karl had started to annoy you with the way he was trying to explain why it’d be better to kiss him now instead of on your first date so you decided to shut him up. You grabbed him by the collar and pressed your lips against his.

This relationship of yours was gonna be a real hassle but you knew you’d make it out alive (not sure about Karl tho)

(OC’s name: Peyton Morris)

Word Count: 1,289

It was another gloomy day in Ipswich, Massachusetts and just another day at Spencer Academy for one Peyton Morris. She exited her family car rather dispassionately, while genuinely thanking her driver. This has been her daily routine for the past year after her family’s move from Manhattan, New York.

She never got around to asking her parents why they moved but there was a part of her that like the simplicity of Ipswich. Spencer Academy was a different subject, entirely. It almost disappointed her when she discovered it mirrored her old school. Well, the zip codes may be different, but douche-bags are the same wherever you go. Meeting Kira Snider and, subsequently, Aaron Abbott didn’t turn out to be an overall good first impression.

She’d been waiting for class to start when a shadow fell over her desk. She knew then that she definitely wasn’t going to like the person responsible.

“Hi, I’m Kira Snider. You must be new,” a barely contained sneer marred an otherwise average female face.

“Peyton,” a tight smile formed on her own face, unwilling to back down from a would-be instigator.

All eyes were on them. Peyton wasn’t the first to go through this and she doubted she’d be the last. Private school politics were becoming such a pain.

“Ipswich is a long way from Manhattan. What is it that your parents do, by the way?” The mock-interest was clear; so was her intention.

Peyton smiled as she began, “Listen, Snider, um, there are some things,” she nonchalantly regarded Kira, “we need to clear up.” She paused to give some semblance of a chance for the other girl to get a word in. Peyton stood and faced the seemingly self-proclaimed Queen B, “I don’t care if you run this school or think that you do. I don’t care who you are, who your parents are, and I certainly don’t care about what anyone in this school may think of me. What my parents do is our family’s business, no one else’s, least of all, yours.” Kira’s reddened face amused her immensely. A slight smug grin appeared on Peyton’s face. “Furthermore, you’re right, Ipswich is a long way from Manhattan and I hate to break it to you, because I’m pretty sure you have low self-esteem already, that’s like comparing Chihuahuas to grey wolves. And that means whatever you dish out,” Peyton tsked, “I can dish out way worse,” she finished in a stage whisper.

There were hushed snickers that descended upon the classroom.

A boy appeared behind her, sneering, “We could make your life hell.”

“I vacation there. It’s actually quite nice in the summer,” Peyton countered easily.

The teacher chose to walk in then. Her practiced, cold stare visibly unsettled the pair and she watched them walk back to their seats. The rest of her classes were uneventful. Then, she met him. More like heard him.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone execute a takedown as good as the one you pulled on Kira,“ the male voice sounded as giddy as his owner looked. He stuck out his hand, “Reid Garwin.”

One look at him and she knew he was trouble. And that devil-may-care grin didn’t win him any brownie points.

“Peyton Morris,“ she informed as she walked passed him

Reid Garwin was attractive with his blonde hair and blue eyes. She didn’t exactly hate him but they didn’t exactly have a friendship. Reid made Peyton wary. There were so many mixed signals they were sending each other. She’d think there’d be a spark but the next minute, it’s gone, nowhere to be found. And Reid was a player, a flirt, but Peyton wasn’t a saint either. Though she’d never slept with any of her male peers, she was positive Reid had atleast sampled a few their female peers.

In the weeks that followed, there were whispers about the pair. The rumor mill was producing so much salacious gossip, even Provost Higgins had to step in. The provost issued a kind of gag order, one that would be enforced by school officials, and teachers, coaches, etc. The rumors stopped but the otherwise-stable friendship continued.

A year later, this is where they are. She sighs thinking of her attempts at relationships while at the Academy. All very promising young men but she could never get the one she actually wanted out of her mind. It earned her the female equivalent of Reid’s reputation, except hers didn't afford her bragging rights. An arm slung over her shoulders broke her chain of thought. She didn’t have to see who it was but she turned to look anyway.

“I thought I was having a shitty morning but the I saw you," he winked.

She smiled ruefully, “Funny mine continues to be a downhill slide." She shrugged off his arm.

There were people looking, freshmen girls by the look of them. It always made her jealous but he wasn't hers so there was nothing she could do really.

“Don’t you have fresh meat to spoil or something?" She tried to make it sound flippant but lately she’d lost her touch. And it seemed the bastard had almost caught on.

“Nah, 'm not really interested in training when I know someone already knows the tricks,"he barked a laugh, “Hey, Peyton, what's -?"

She power walked to her first class, intent on ignoring Reid for as long as possible. Alas, the universe had it out for her; there was some conspiracy for sure. That's what her mind immediately went to when Peyton Morris saw one of the new class sidling up to the recently shunned blonde-haired, blue-eyed wonder. The freshman wasn’t even trying to hide it; she wanted people to know.

Fuck. Me. Sideways.

She walked up to them just as the freshman laughed at something that was most likely not funny, if the faces of the rest of the group were anything to go buy.

“Hey guys, " Peyton quickly acknowledged the guys before turning to Reid, “Reid, can we talk for a second?"

“Who are you, his girlfriend?” she asked, as if Peyton very existence was a personal affront.

Peyton took a second to collect herself and adopted her best patronizing demeanor. She looked right into the freshman’s eyes, “I’m the one who can and will make you immediately irrelevant.”

She doesn’t have time to hear the younger girl’s response. She’s being carried through campus over Reid’s shoulder. At least he’s got the decency to hold her skirt down. It’s some time until the blonde finds a private enough place, somewhere behind a school building.

“What the hell was that? Back there?” The question came from the deepest part of him, Peyton could tell.

She sighed, “What do you think it was, Reid? You’re smart. It’s part of the reason I-” She’d almost said it, almost let it out into the damn universe.

An incredulous look descended upon his face, “You what? You always act like I’m your worst option. There’s no way in hell. No. Way. You can’t be jealous because you don’t-!”

“You don’t get to tell me that shit! We’re both idiots because we know I’m jealous because I love you, you massive idiot!” She hadn’t intended on getting so impassioned by her declaration; she got louder than anyone had ever heard her and she was out of breath.

For once, Reid was speechless He’d never heard you cuss before either. Peyton realized then what she’d done and only felt mortification. Well, she did until she heard him laugh.

Her head between his hands, he put his forehead against hers. “We’re probably the biggest idiots Spencer Academy has ever seen,” blue eyes sparkled with mischief, “but we'll be each other’s idiots.”

Peyton spoke then, his lips barely a centimeter from hers, “What a fucking pair we make.”
