I hope that this will live up to peoples expectations. This is my first fanfiction and I don't really read much romance, but I have a whole story about these two that I just had to put onto paper. You will find that the story begins with their college years and ends after Apollo Justice. I have to say that I don't have that many great stories about them in college, so if you don't like those days, please don't judge the rest of the story. I mainly used it to add a bit of story. Constructive criticism is always welcomed, but I would prefer if you kept away from flames. I hope that you all enjoy "Through the Years"

Another day for Iris Hawthorne, just another work day. Not to say that she didn't enjoy herself, she just wanted to have contact with more people, other than Sister Bikini and the visitors. She supposed that was the reason she decided to call her sister. It's not like they were friends, but they were family. That was enough for her. The phone rang for a while before Dahlia finally picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Dahlia. It's Iris."

"Oh, Iris. What do you want?"

"I just wanted to see how you were doing. Are you still being tracked? I do hope you stop with all of this Dahlia. You really should come to the Temple with me and be cleansed."

"What nonsense are you spewing? Iris, you're my sister, so I talk to you about my life. But don't be an idiot."

Iris looked down and apologized.

"What is happening then?"

"I told you about that lawyer right? The one who knows too much. Well I poisoned his coffee. It wasn't easy either, since I obviously I had to carry the poison around somehow. So I took a bottle and attached it to a necklace. Due to the police though, I had to get rid of my poison necklace to some moron. You should have seen it! I went right up and said 'Hello, my name's Dahlia, who are you?' I knew that I had him from the beginning! We talked for a while and I got rid of my evidence saying that it was a symbol of love. The idiot believed it! Now the only problem is getting the necklace back. I thought it would come to this though, so I plan to silence him on our first 'Date'."

Iris paled at this. "B-but Dahlia, Y-you can't!"

"Don't tell me that this sounds like a surprise to you. By the way, you better keep quiet or else."

"Of course Dahlia, but…"

"Great! I am so glad I got that of my chest. I think he and I are going out next week."

"Wait Dahlia…"

"I hope you visit soon. You are the only one that I can talk to about these sorts of things. I guess that's it though, I'm going to hang up now 'kay."

"DAHLIA!"Iris screamed.

"Ouch! WHAT!"

"Dahlia, why don't you just try to date him and get the necklace back that way, instead of putting another crime on your head?"

"HA! You have to be kidding me! I will never date that spikey haired idiot!"

Iris thought for a moment. She couldn't let the poor boy die. He had nothing to do with her twin's actions. "Wait a second, twin…"

"Dahlia"

"What now?"

"What if I try?"

"You mean try to date that buffoon? No way. He's better off dead anyway."

"Don't say that. Just let me try! I could pretend to be you. I could dye my hair and everything! Just let me try, please Dahlia."

"No. Just stay out of it Iris!"

"Please! I beg of you!"

"NO!"

"But if you kill him, you just give the police another reason to find you. Please."

"…"

"Dahlia?"

"…"

"Say something?"

"…fine"

"Oh, Tha…"

"But you better not take too long with it. And you have to dye your hair on your own. Don't expect any help from me."

"Absolutely! Thank you Dahlia, thank you so much!"

"Just shut up and hurry to get down here. The date is Tuesday."

"All right. Thank you Dahlia. I will begin packing immediately! Goodbye my dear sister!"

Dahlia hung up while Iris smiled. "I may save her yet…"

Iris was packed and ready to go. She even dyed her hair since she knew her sister would be upset if she hadn't been completely prepared. She had also been excused for as long as she needed by Sister Bikini. Iris was now ready to set off. She said goodbye to her beloved home and nearly cried. She knew though that she could be saving someone and then she would soon return.

"I wonder how far the train is. I know that I have directions in here somewhere…" She fumbled through her bag "Here we go! Let's see… What! B-but that will take me an hour on foot!" She sighed "For Dahlia…"

And her trip began. The train ride took her about four hours in-and-of itself. Luckily where she would meet Dahlia wasn't in the middle of nowhere like the Temple was.

"She wanted to meet me in the forest? But where…"

She looked around. She found a few trees in the distance and headed that way. When she got deeper into the wooded area she saw a glimpse of white and pink.

"Dahlia!"

Her twin jumped then ran to her and covered her mouth. "YOU IDIOT!" Dahlia said in a loud whisper "Don't yell!"

"Sorry"

"I can't believe that you wanted to do this…" Dahlia sighed.

"I know that you said you didn't want to help me but, could you at least tell me how to get to the university?" Iris asked.

"Fine… by the way, you brought your clothes and stuff right?"

"Of course I did."

"Great, hand them over."

"WHAT!" Iris had a look of shock.

"I told you not to yell!" Dahlia said angrily "besides, if you are going to be me you need my clothes. If that happens I will have nothing to wear. So I will use your clothes. Now fork them over!"

Iris looked down and nodded. This really was happening. She would be Dahlia Hawthorne. The thought made her shudder. She handed her clothes to her sister and sighed.

"Great" Dahlia said "now get undressed, we need to switch what we are wearing right now as well."

Iris sighed again.
