Phoenix's POV
Wright and Co. Office
7:15 am
I lightly wobble the young sleeping girl back and forth. Her body springs up, whipping my face with her long black hair. I inform her about the 'Andrew Drinkwater' man as she rubs her youthful eyes.
"Got it. Luckily I was already going back home today anyways!" Maya grins.
"Ok... Wait, what!?" I glare at the 19 year old girl who acts like she's 10 normally. Maya blinks a few times, still waking up.
"Wait, I didn't tell you? Oh well. I'll be there for two months since soon I'm gonna learn how to be a leader!" Maya gets off her white bed and starts putting the pillows back in place. "Sorry I didn't tell you earlier Nick."
"It's fine." I smile. Now I can finally spend more time with Edgeworth with her out of the way. "I just wished you told me earlier." I help Maya make the bed again. We pack her bags and make our way to the train station

Train station
10:00 am
Maya twiddles her thumbs as we wait for the train to come. The leather suitcases lay at our feet. The wind lightly blows as Maya looks up at me.
"Hey Nick... I know this is kinda sudden and all but I have a question for you..." Maya turns a little pink as she steps forward. "I, uh..." I step closer as Maya grabs my ear.
"I, uh, kinda love you..."
The air around me freezes, as well as time. Everything comes to a stop as a feel one million sets of eyes stare at me from all directions. They stare at me, giving their silent judgement. The eyes pierce through me as I return to reality.
"Uh...." I stare into outer space, clueless what to do. Maya's breath climbs up my neck and around my ear, warmer than the breeze. Then a warmth came to my right cheek. A kiss was there, warming my whole face up. But it only lasted a second as I felt a pair of cold grey eyes stare into my soul even I saw none.
With as much force that I could I pushed Maya back. Maya tumbles back, tears staining her face. Her legs shake but not from the cold. She collapses onto her knees, turning into a teary eye mess.
"I'm sorry Maya." I whisper to myself as I ran away as fast as I could. The wind pushed me forward, almost like the world wanted me to break her heart. Tears soar on the wind as I get away from her as fast as I could.

Edgeworth's POV
Train station
10:00 am
I sat at the train station with a slender man named Andrew Drinkwater. He was the CEO's son of a water purifying company. His father just passed away so I hooked him up with Maya so he could ask his dad for the company's secrets.
"Gee wiz, thanks Mr. Edgeworth for bringing me here!" Andrew grins. But that wasn't the only reason I had them come together. "So I'm gonna meet a cute girl who laughs at everything!?"
"Yes." I nod. "She's a dear and she'll love you. Especially the present I got for her. She'll love you more if you give it to her." In the small box was a little vile filled with air with the Steel Samrai printed on it. Also inside was a cookie filled with chocolate chips.
I look around and spot Wright and Maya talking. I couldn't understand them but I stared at Wright anyways. Then Maya leaned in and...
Kissed him on the cheek.
I swear my heart skipped a beat as I stare at Wright. All I see is Maya stumbling towards my direction and Wright bolting off. A soft smile forms on my face as the train pulls up. Andrew boards the train.
"Hey Andrew, you don't really have to give the cookies to her."
"Really?" Andrew tilts his head.
"Yeah. They actually were a burnt batch so they aren't very good."
"Whatevs. If she likes cookies, she gets to have 'em. Burnt or not, they're still cookies!" Andrew grins as the train doors close. My hand reaches out as the train leaves with the cookies.
"I'm sorry Maya." I whisper to myself as the train goes into the distance. "I'm sorry."
