A/N: I wanted to write something Christmas-y… So here we go, it's a little crazy.
Also, anything in a singing voice is in italics. :)
Disclaimer: Leave me alone, I own nothing.
Ema shrugged, walking in a group of all of the other Phoenix Wright characters.
"I don't know Mr. Wright, caroling?"
Her and many of Phoenix's other acquaintances had been walking to People Park, Phoenix had called them all the day before and told them to come to the park, though he didn't state why.
"Why not?" Phoenix replied, smirking. "It's Christmas eve." He even replaced his beanie hat with a Santa hat.
"B-but I have cards to send out and Lana wanted me to visit her and-"
"But wouldn't you want to spend Christmas Eve with your friends, Fraulien?"
Ema jumped out of her skin. "F-fop! When did you get here?!"
The Rock-star prosecutor simply smirked in reply.
Ema didn't notice how large the group was- She spotted Maya, Pearl, Larry, even Detective Gumshoe. Then there was Miles Edgeworth, Franziska Von Karma, Klavier, Apollo, and Trucy.
"Come on, Miss Skye! It'll be fun!" Trucy bounced. "I even worked out a duet with Mr. Hat!"
She pushed the secret switch hidden in her purse and Mr. Hat appeared.
"Jingle bells, Jingle bells, jingle all the way!"
Ema just stared at the wooden mannequin.
"But I can't sing!" She cried, still trying to wiggle her way out of the situation.
"But Fraulien, I have heard you sing often when you are alone in the office; you are quite good at it."
Ema nearly fainted.
"Y-you heard that!?"
The rock-star gave her a toothy grin. "Ja."
She pushed him away and caught up with Mr. Wright.
Maya smiled at her. "Ema, Mr. Nick even set up a special surprise…"
"Surprise?" Suddenly she felt eager.
Trucy bounced up to her father. "So, Daddy, what song are we going to sing?"
Phoenix closed his eyes to think for a moment.
"Hmm," He thought. "How about 'the Twelve days of Christmas'?" He didn't need to think too long, he had already planned all this out.
"Mr. Wright… I know I have cords of steel, but singing?" Apollo suddenly spoke up.
Ema grabbed his shoulders. "You too?! See, Mr. Wright? No one wants to sing…"
Apollo peeled her off his shoulders and looked ahead.
"Ema… Look!" He exclaimed.
She turned to see a large gazebo in the middle of the park, beautifully decorated with lights and garlands. Poinsettia flowers lined the railing, and small, merry berries hung in the leafy décor above.
Ema gasped in awe, there were even finely wrapped gifts all stacked neatly in the corner, some even had her name on them.
Pearl gasped too. "Mr. Nick! Are all of these for us!?"
Phoenix nodded and Pearl ran up to the gifts, taking one with her name.
"Not yet, Pearls," He said. "We have to sing while opening them, it will be fun."
"… Sing?" The now fifteen year old girl appeared to be confused.
Suddenly, Phoenix turned on the radio and the song he mentioned earlier began playing, the odd thing was, it didn't have the words.
"On the first day of Christmas, my best friend gave to me," Phoenix sang, nodding to Pearl to open her gift.
And she did, "A book about pear trees…?" She half-sang, confused on why she was given a book when everyone knows she can't read.
"On the second day of Christmas, my best friend gave to me," This time he nodded to Trucy.
She opened the box. "Two new outfits?!"
"And a book about pear trees…" Pearl sighed.
"On the Third day of Christmas, my best friend gave to me,"
Now Franziska opened a box. "Three electric whips?!" She hugged them, getting zapped in the process.
"Two new outfits!"
"And a book about pear trees…"
On the fourth day of Christmas, my best friend gave to me,
Apollo opened a red-wrapped box, "Four hair combs…?"
Three electric whips!
Two New outfits!
And a book about pear trees…
On the fifth day of Christmas, my best friend gave to me,
Now it was Maya's turn, she gently opened a purple-wrapped box.
"Five Burger coupons!!" She jumped for joy.
… Four hair combs.
Three electric whips!
Two new outfits!
And a book I can't read about pear trees…
On the sixth day of Christmas, my best friend gave to me,
Now Edgeworth opened a box, "…"
"Come on, what did you get?" Phoenix asked.
"Six boxes of 'Just for men' hair dye…"
Five burger coupons!!
Four hair combs…
Three electric whips! OW!

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my best friends gave to me…
Phoenix opened the box; he acted surprised when it was found empty.
"Really, having everyone here caroling together was enough…" He laughed.
"But daddy!" Trucy exclaimed. "That won't fit in the song!"
He chuckled. "Yes, it can, twelve of my friends!"
A booklet with eleven jokes!!
Ten packs of jerky !
Nine noodle packets, pal!
Eight bottles of powder!
Seven new picks!
Six boxes of dye.
Fiiiiiivvve buuuuurrgeeeeerrrrrr coupons!!!

Everyone fell over, laughing. Most of them were out of breath.
"See, now wasn't that fun? And you all got gifts."
"Gifts we don't want." Apollo coughed.
"Mr. Nick, I don't like my gift…" Pearl sighed.
"Ah, you guys should just be happy I brought you together."
Klavier inched over to Ema.
"Fraulien, I believe you and I are standing beneath mistletoe." He grinned.
"Wh-what?!" Ema shoved him away and ran to the other corner of the gazebo.
"I can't wait to use my coupons!" Maya exclaimed happily.
"Seriously, hair dye? You guys must really hate me…" Miles sighed.
Franziska actually fell unconscious from holding her electrified whips too long.
"Merry Christmas, everyone!" Phoenix exclaimed.
"Merry Christmas!!"
A/N: It's a bit early, but Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone!!
