A/N: In case 2-3, if you don't let Moe tell his joke, Maya tells Nick he's boring. I thought it might bother him, so TA-DA. A one-shot. Mild spoilers for JFA through case three, you probably need to have played that far to understand it. SORRYITMAKESNOSENSE. I almost want to do a follow-up where Fee tries to be a clown, but anyway, Capcom owns Phoenix Wright and all the characters and stuff.
"You are soooo boring."
Why is it that those words keep ringing around in my head? I ruffle the papers on my desk absent-mindedly, let out a huge sigh, and try to concentrate. Who has a motive to kill the Ringmaster? He's the one who pays them all! Regina, Max, Ben, and Moe…
"Moe is hilarious! I love clowns!"
"Arrrgh," I groan and put my head down on my arms. So in Maya's book, that crazy dolled-up old coot is more fun than the guy who saved her from murder charges. Twice. And buys her samurai burgers all the time. And takes her to the circus. And defends the random people she always drags up.
So what?
So she thinks a clown is cooler than the man who broke down a door of reinforced iron for her, that's not my problem. It's not like I'd ever want to be anything like Moe.
"I'm glad I'm not that annoying, desperate, pathetic excuse for a clown," I mutter savagely, forcing my papers into a semblance of order. "What makes him so special, anyway?" I wasn't second-best yesterday. Yesterday…Well, now that I think about it, yesterday I was a tiger.
"I bet I could be an animal tamer! Nick! Nick! Lie down! Roll over!"
Not a great improvement.
But Regina loved Regent, didn't she? He was the one who always stuck around for her, who always assisted her and cooperated with her, not Max or Moe or Trilo. So maybe I have a chance as a tiger.
I shake my spiky head. "What am I thinking?" I berate myself. "Maya isn't Regina, and I'm not a tiger any more than I'm a clown! Man, this case is really getting to me." Staring grimly down at my work, the evidence list from Maggey Bird's case catches my eye. I snort at the yellow baseball glove. A bunch of bananas, really….bananas, banana peels, clowns, Moe…
"You are soooo boring."
