A/N: Just want everyone to know this is going to be a fun story and is meant to keep you guessing. So please just keep an open mind and don't go in thinking "oh this is a *insert pairing* story, bleh" because the obvious pairing may not be the final pairing. I plan to do a lot of teasing ;)


Apollo huffed loudly as he put the last file of the year in the cabinet and slammed it shut.

"WE'RE FINALLY DONE!" He yelled out, making Athena jump.

"Could you please warn someone before you attack with your chords of steel?"Athena shouted back balling her fist up at him.

"I'm sorry I'm just really excited that we finally finished all of our cases for the year."

Athena nodded. "It has been a really hard year. I got accused of murder, twice. You got blown up and knocked out with a brick."

Apollo grimaced rubbing the back of his head. "Ouch, I know. We definitely deserved this week off we're getting."

"Oh come on guys, it wasn't that bad. I thought you'd both see it as a stimulating challenge to improve your skills as lawyers." Phoenix piped in, putting the closed sign on the front door.

"It was very stimulating boss!" Athena smiled throwing up a peace sign. "Still though, you have to admit it's nice that we're going to get to do absolutely nothing for an entire week."

"Yeah, besides you weren't attacked or accused of murder this year you know." Apollo added, taking his red vest off tossing it over the side of the chair. "Plus you can go back to wearing your favorite hoodie."

Phoenix rubbed his chin. "Well, now that you mention it, it would be really nice to take this suit off for a couple of days. Who knew it'd be so busy as soon as I got my badge back."

"Well, I think you both know what time it is now…." Apollo smiled.

"NOODLE TIME!" Athena exclaimed, clasping her hands together.

"Okay, calm down guys. Can someone else offer to pay this time at least?" Phoenix but grabbed his wallet anyway because he already knew the answer.

"Not a chance Mr. Wright. The tradition only works if you pay." Apollo insisted.

"You know next year, that excuse isn't going to work anymore Apollo. Trucy, do you want to come with us?"

Trucy had tuned out of the conversation a few minutes ago. "Huh? Oh! No thanks daddy, I'll just hang out here with Pearl, but you can bring us some noodles back."

Phoenix considered asking her what she was in such deep thought about, but decided against it. Probably some teenage thing he didn't want to know about anyway. Once they were gone, Trucy hopped down off the chair she was sitting in to pace back and forth along the one path that was currently viewable in the office.

"I want to do something for daddy, Athena and Polly. But I don't know what to do." She frowned.

Pearl shared in her frown but for entirely different reasons. "Ugh, this is hopeless. No matter how many times I clean this place up, it never looks any better. I don't understand how four people can be so messy." She sighed hopelessly trying to arrange some of the magic stuff that was in the corner.

"Pearl! This is important. This year has been so special. Daddy got his attorney's badge back, Athena joined us. I want to do something to celebrate it." Trucy whined.

She stopped straightening up and nodded. "Okay, okay. How about you throw them a party? They love to eat and it'd be a good way to relax."

Trucy considered the idea. "A party is okay but I want to do something bigger….."

By that time Pearl had gone back to cleaning, she just couldn't believe how disorganized this place was. "I just straightened out these drawers two days ago. I swear the only way I'm ever going to properly get this office into shape is if no one is in it.

Trucy was listening to Pearl complain when suddenly a hand flew to her mouth. "Pearly! That's it!" She exclaimed bouncing up and down happily.

"It is…what is?"

"A vacation! That's what daddy and the others need. To go on a vacation, far away from all of the crime scenes, far away from the courthouse and far away from the Wright Anything Agency!"

"And I would finally be able to get it clean!" Pearl smiled, now equally excited.

"Quick! Help me find the computer Pearl; I've got to start looking up places right away." She asked, quickly searching the mess of the room for the computer. "I want it to be somewhere that's really secluded, so daddy can't possibly be called into work."

"How about going to a cabin up in the mountains? The landscape covered in snow, a fireplace." Pearl sighed dramatically. "So romantic…."

And almost like a bolt of lightning, it hit her. Trucy squealed loudly and charged over to the other girl, nearly knocking her down. "That's it! That's it!" She screamed hugging Pearl tightly.

"Wait…wait, what's going on?!" Pearl asked, confused.

"Think. What is something that daddy, Polly and Athena all have in common?"

"They're all lawyers?"

"Something else they all have in common."

Pearl put her hand to her head and thought for a minute. "They….all have really weird hair-dos?"

"No! Well…..actually yes but that's not what I was talking about." Trucy responded shaking her head. "They're all single! Don't you see? This vacation is not only the perfect way for them to relax; it's the perfect time for them to find love. Like a…romantication!"

Pearl gasped. "Love for Mr. Nick. Ohhhhhh it's so exciting!" She gushed putting her hands on her face shaking her head with a smile.

"And for Athena and Polly too. Definitely Polly, he might be the most helpless of them all." She rubbed her hand on her chin pacing the floor again. "And I know just who to invite! Oh this is going to be so perfect, I'm so excited." She beamed before frowning. "Except…I don't know who to invite for daddy…."

Pearl smiled. "Oh don't you worry about Mr. Nick, I think I have the perfect person in mind."

Trucy clapped and went back over to the computer. "Now all I have to do is find the perfect cabin and everything will be all set." When she was done finding them a cabin on the computer that was perfect, she quickly got out her magic panties, making two pieces of pink paper appear to write a letter inviting the other guests she had in mind. When she was finished writing the letters, she quickly sealed them in little red and pink envelopes and put them under her magician's hat.

"I have to go drop these off Pearl. You stay here just in case daddy gets back before me. And remember, don't say anything." She smiled and hurried out of the office.


"I bet if we go through all of those files, it will prove that I finished more cases than you did this year." Apollo boasted as Athena put her hand on her hip and rolled her eyes while they walked back inside the agency.

"Ugh, you didn't. I bet it's even, or even better, I probably did more cases than you."

"Well if we include all of the cases that I supervised or helped you two with, I'm sure I'd be the winner." Phoenix laughed, shutting the door behind him.

"No fair boss!" Apollo and Athena shouted in unison.

"Hey Pearl, still trying to tidy up I see. Where's Trucy?"

"Oh….she had to drop something off, that's all…." She said, trying to sound as innocent as possible.

"Hmmm, she's not telling us something."Apollo remarked, rubbing his bracelet.

"I got the same thing too." Athena added, holding onto Widget.

Well this was a fine mess Pearl had gotten herself into. She should have known better than to try to lie in front of these two. Then again, she wasn't lying; she was just being very vague.

"Oh….I don't know what you guys are talking about." Pearl mumbled backing away from them.

Phoenix rubbed his chin. "Hmmm, I should have guessed Trucy would be up to something with how strange she was acting earlier. So spit it out Pearl, what's she up to."

Thankfully, Trucy had come back just in time to interrupt Pearl's interrogation. "Oh hi daddy, I see that you're back." She smiled, coming over to him kissing him on the cheek.

"Hi Trucy, we were just asking Pearl what you were up to. Athena and Apollo got a few weird senses out of her."

Trucy covered her mouth before smiling. "Well, I guess I might as well tell you. I planned a surprise vacation for us all!"

"A vacation? Just for us?" Apollo asked smiling.

Trucy didn't want to get caught by Apollo's bracelet or Athena's hearing so she simply nodded her head as if she confirmed his statement.

"Oh wow! A vacation with the boss, it sounds really exciting!" Athena smiled, clasping her hands together.

"Are you coming too Pearl?"

"Oh no Mr. Nick, it will finally give me a chance to get things straightened up around here without the interruptions from you all."

Phoenix smiled and hugged his daughter. "And you planned all of this by yourself?"

"Yes daddy, with your credit card!" She smiled bouncing happily.

"So where are we going?" Apollo asked, putting his finger to his forehead.

"The mountains! So make sure you dress warm Polly!"

"That's right Apollo, wouldn't want those two pieces of hair to freeze and break off." Athena teased.

"Hey! Leave my hair out of this. And the mountains huh? That sounds cool."

"Oh, before I forget, I was wondering daddy, can Athena please invite Juniper Woods? She is like Athena's sister and she's my friend too." Trucy asked sweetly. Juniper had spent a lot of time at the agency hanging out with them since she was cleared of the courtroom bonding. She loved watching Trucy's magic shows.

"Of course she can."

"Wow, then this is going to be really great!" Athena grinned, throwing out another peace sign.

"Well, we all better get home and pack. We leave tomorrow!"


They were all up bright and early the next day, agreeing to meet up at the Wright Anything Agency so they could all drive up to the mountains in the same car.

"Thank you for inviting me Thena. After everything this year we can finally take the time and catch up with each other!" Junie smiled.

"It was really Trucy's idea but I'm so glad you get to come too!"

"I hoped you remembered to pack a scarf Polly." Trucy giggled.

"Of course I did. I wasn't sure what else to bring so I just brought the basics. I assume you girls would over pack anyway so it seemed like a safe choice."

"We girls do not over pack!" Trucy, Athena and Juniper all said in unison.

"OBJECTION!" Phoenix yelled out as he was over by the car, trying to stuff all of the bags into the trunk of the car. "All the defendants are lying and I have the evidence to prove it." He huffed, finally squeezing them all in and shutting the trunk.

Apollo laughed shaking his head. "Just as I thought."

Trucy stepped back inside the Wright Anything Agency to check in with Pearl. "Okay, the two other guests should come here soon and you can give them instructions. What about your invite?"

"She's ready to go. I think Mr. Nick will be so excited to see her." Pearl gushed.

"Thanks for all of your help Pearl." Trucy giggled as she went back outside. "Okay, before we go there's just one rule. First, Daddy. No answering calls for work, we're on vacation. Athena and Apollo? No Widget and no bracelet. I don't want you guys analyzing… each other on this vacation."

Apollo and Athena looked at one another before agreeing; handing their things to Pearl as they got in the car. Trucy climbed into the front seat with Mr. Wright, who was driving, while Juniper, Apollo and Athena sat in the backseat, Junie sitting in the middle. Being that close to Apollo, was nearly too much for Junie and she coughed most of the ride, breathing into her sunflower. Athena was rather amused with the spot she put her friend in.

It was a long drive up to the mountains, probably longer by the fact that Phoenix had gotten lost. There was light snow when they reached their destination.

Apollo got out of the car first, stretching his legs. "Man that was a long ride, I should have driven. Leave it to Mr. Wright to not be able to follow the GPS."

"Yeah, seriously boss, what happened?!"

"HEY, that GPS was trying to drive us off a cliff, I was just being cautious.

Before Apollo could respond, there was a loud screech and suddenly, a hawk landed on his head.

"…WHAT IS IT?!"

"It's a hawk." Athena responded. "But wait! T-this hawk has a black bandana around his neck!"

Just then, there was a whistle behind them and the hawk flew off Apollo's head. They turned around to see…

Prosecutor Blackquill?! But he wasn't alone. He had been accompanied by Klavier Gavin?! Before anyone could respond, a young woman stepped out from behind the two bigger men. Maya Fey?!

Apollo, along with Athena and Phoenix's mouths were hanging open. "WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?!"
