Description: Iris has been released from jail, only to face another turnabout and some more chaos. A Phoenix x Iris story, more chapters to come, takes place two years after Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations.

Chapter 1: Release and Bad News

Iris sat in her cell, "what am I waiting for?" She wondered, "I still have 18 years left in jail, and I deserve to be in here."

Then a letter came for Iris, a letter from Sister Bikini, Iris ran her fingers along the top of the envelope and opened it. Only to have mixed feelings about what the letter said:

Dear Iris,

Good news and bad news, I guess I'll tell you the good news first: you're going to be released from prison, for a reason, now I'll explain the reason and bad news.

Iris stopped right there and began to cry tears of joy, she thought that no matter what the bad news was, it could never spoil this moment. Sister Bikini overreacted sometimes, but she did seem pretty serious in the letter, so she continued to read it:

The bad news and the reason you're being released: the case you were in plus the DL-6 incident have spread bad rumors about Kurain, people think the mediums here are frauds and less people come to hire the mediums to channel others. To clear our name, a "sinful" medium has to marry a man from another medium village to show our purity. We had a meeting to decide who this medium should be, with only one choice: you, Iris, we have to! You are an eligible bachelorette, and you were involved with a recent case. That's why you're being released Iris, I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Take care,

Sister Bikini

Iris was now crying out of sadness, she was happy to be released from prison, but she didn't want to marry some guy she didn't even know!

"Ms. Hawthorne" said the guard, "so I see you've read the letter? You are now released."

Iris left the prison and boarded a train to Kurain with a heavy heart, but before she arrived at Kurain she knew there was one person she should call…

So that's the end of chapter one, please rate and review. Yeah I know it was pretty short, it really depends on what I have in mind for the next chapter how long it is going to be. Thank you for reading the first chapter!
