Chapter 1

Maya

"Another win for Phoenix Wright and his lovely assistant Maya Fey!" I say as Nick and I walk into the office. "And just in time, there's a Pink Princess marathon starting in 5 minutes!" I hop onto the couch and turn on the TV.

"Yeah, I'll join you in a minute, I just have to finish this paperwork." Nick says, walking over to his desk.

I run to the kitchen, pop some popcorn and sit down right as the theme song for Pink Princess starts. I've seen this episode so many times I can recite every line. About halfway through the episode, Nick sits down on the couch. He begins to talk and I tune him out. After all, he should know better than to come between me and my TV shows.

"Easy case….stupid Payne…… you look hot…

Wait…what?

"Huh?"

"I said you look hot. Seriously, it's hot enough outside to fry an egg on the sidewalk, and you're still wearing those crazy clothes!"

"Hey! This is the official acolyte uniform, and I'm proud to wear it! Besides, I don't have much other clothes. I mean, I've got my pink princess pajamas, and some underwear, and I should probably buy a bra because I think my bo-"

"O-kay! Ever heard of 'too much information'?"

I ignore him, then after a couple of seconds I snap my fingers. "Hey, I know! Let's get some ice cream!"

"Hmm…" Nick says, obviously not wanting to go.

"It's either that or bra shopping." I say, blackmailing him.

Nick sighs in defeat. "Fine. It's better than watching this lame show anyways." He gets up and moves towards the door.

"Says the guy whose idea of a good time is cleaning the toilet." I reply sarcastically, also getting up.

"Ouch. Just for that I'm only getting you a single scoop." I can't tell if he's joking or not, so I run over and hop on his back. I try taking him down, but he's a lot stronger than I had expected, and he stays up.

"H-hey! What do you think you're doing! I'm not giving you a piggyback ride, you can walk. Now get off!" Nick says, trying to tug me off, but I keep my grip.

"Buy me a double scoop!"

"Get off my back!"

"Buy me a double scoop!"

"Get off my back!"

"Then buy me a double scoop"

"Maya, I'm serious, get off!"

"PHOENIX WRIGHT, BUY ME A DOUBLE SCOOP!" I scream.

"Ok, ok, just get off me!" Nick says.

"Ok." I hop off his back and skip out the door. Nick mumbles "You didn't have to yell," and follows behind me.
