Please don't kill me, this is my first PW fanfic. o.o… Sorry if it sucks.


Phoenix could feel relief wash over him and the tears of happiness prickle the back of his eyes. The girl came running toward little Pearly with joyous tears in her eyes. She hugged the little girl with all of her strength. And Phoenix gave a grin.

"Mystic Maya! Thank goodness you're okay!"

It's a miracle... He couldn't help but think it… lest he forget the sinking, twisting feeling in his gut when he'd been informed of the kidnapping. He had almost fainted, he recalled his vision blurring and fading, the hotel lobby's colors had begun to smear together. But luckily, the thought of young Pearl had snapped him out of it. He honestly thought it was the end for her. He thought she was to die. She'd never just be around to talk to all the time.

Just like the Chief.

But… here she was. She was unharmed. She was alive. She wasn't dead. She was here. She was in his arms.

"Maya…!" he exclaimed. "Oh, Maya… we were so worried…" He hugged her closely, ignoring the look that Pearl had given him that clearly read, She's not your special someone, huh?

"Nick!" she cried, returning the hug about threefold. "I was so scared! I was… I am… so hungry!" Phoenix laughed.

"At least now I really know that he didn't do anything to you." Maya couldn't hold back her own tears and buried her face into his suit.

"I'm sorry…" He smiled. "I got… kidnapped and you almost had to prove a guilty man innocent… and now I'm… getting your suit wet… and snotty…" She sniffled. He stroked her head lightly and smiled fondly over to Pearl.

"I… I guess you were right, Pearls." She smiled victoriously to herself. "It's okay. Maya. About everything."

"Even the suit…?" she asked, her voice hitching lightly with a silent sob. "…and the snot?"

"Yes. Even the suit and the snot." He put his finger under her chin and lifted up her head. Using a swift thumb, he wiped away her tears. "Hey…" he crooned lightly, his blue optics staring deeply into her own deep brown. "Let's see a smile, kay?" What else should I say…? I've never really been in a situation like this before… He thought. Ah, this'll do it for sure. "Maya?"

"Y-Yeah, Nick?" she breathed, the last few tears escaping her eyes.

"Let's go get a burger. Or two… if you want," he replied. She quickly wiped her eyes and grinned widely. He'd forgotten how quickly the slightest mention of burgers could cheer her up. She really still was young… wasn't she?

"Oh, wow! Really?!"

"Yeah, really!"

"No way!"

"Yeah, way!" Why is this reminding me of something Maya showed me on the internet...?

"Pearly! We're going out for burgers! We'll each get two! They're on Nick!" Pearl's brown eyes light up.

"Thank you, Mr. Nick!" Pearl exclaimed, hugging her cousin tightly. Phoenix smiled and took both girls into his arms.

"No problem." Maya smiled lightly to herself as she saw Pearl run ahead and hug Gumshoe.

"Nick?" Before Phoenix could react properly, Maya placed a kiss upon his lips and smiled. "Thank you. So much… for everything."

I'm not sure what color Maya's eyes are... if anyone could tell me, cause everytime I look at a picture, they're different...
