Chapter One: The Visit.

"Even after Dahlia Hawthorne was found guilty of murder, I still believed in you."

The girl played the message over and over again in her head. Holding tight to her collar, tears brimmed in her eyes, as she looked out into the drab surroundings beyond the window. Dark clouds were gathering.

"Ms. Iris?"

"Oh Feenie, did you really mean it? Even after I had deceived you for half a year, you still believed in me?"

"Ms. Iris?"

But she was not paying attention. Engrossed in her own dialogue, she was deep in thought about how her Feenie may still have—

"MS. IRIS!"

She jumped out of her cold, hard, bed, and looked at the guard who had yelled her name. She stared at him for a moment, and then put her head down.

"I'm s-sorry, I was deep in thought." She apologized. "Is there something I can do for you?"

"Ms. Iris, you have visitors."

She looked mildly surprised at that. The only visitor she could think of would have been BDikini.

"Ok, thank you."

"They're here with a package for you too."

"They're?" she pondered. "Oh, could it be—"

"Ms. Iris! Ms. Iris! It's so good to see you again!"

The little girl in pink training clothes with two loops of hazel brown hair tried to jump into her arms, but a man in a blue suit stopped her.

"Pearl? These are bars. Are you expecting to headbutt these open?"

"Huh?" The little girl looked confused. "Oh, I'm sorry. Sorry Mr. Nick!" She put her head down.

"Hi Iris." It was Phoenix Wright. He was standing next to a Detective dressed in very shabby clothing and had what appeared to be a bandage on his right left cheek. "How are you doing? We made something for you so you wouldn't be too lonely in your cell."

"M-M-Mr. Wright, i-it's so kind of you to c-c-come and v-visit m-me." Inside her heart, she felt a tingling sensation she didn't before. "T-thank you so much." She looked about ready to cry.

"Well, here it is!"

"SURPRISE!!!!!"

Behind Phoenix and the Detective, who she knew as Mr. Gumshoe, a slew of people, the ones that had met her in her murder case, jumped out with confetti in their hands, which they released into a colorful rain. Some of it got on her face. Behind them, the two people who hadn't jumped, the two prosecutors, walked out from behind them in a fixed pace.

Iris began to sob.

"What's wrong, Ms. Iris? Why are you crying?" The little one, Pearl, seemed concerned about her. "I can't bear to see you sad. Is it something I did?" Pearl began to cry too.

"N-n-n-no, it's n-not that. I-i-it's jus that I-i-I'm so touched…"

Phoenix interrupted. "Pearl, don't cry. She's crying because she's happy".

"Oh, *sob*, thank you Mr. Nick."

The older girl in purple training clothes burst out with a very robust voice. "IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT's TIME!" she drawled. "Mr. Edgeworth, please show her what we made!"

"This, isn't really formal, you know."

"Oh, just be quiet and present it to her. You know you want to!"

"Hey why don't I get to do it?" interrupted a delinquent looking man in an orange coat.

"Oh, it's Mr. Lau—"

"No no no, it's just Larry now. Larry Butz, at your service." He drawled while giving a thumbs up.

"Um—"

"Say no more! Edgeworth, give her the present NOW!" Maya interrupted.

Edgeworth sighed. "Alright. Iris, this is something all of us made together." From behind his back, he pulled out a massive teddy bear, one reminiscent of the ones Phoenix had seen in the hotel when he was defending Matt Engarde.

"We hope you like it Ms. Iris!" Pearl's tears had seemed to have dried almost instantaneously.

"Yup!" Phoenix's face lit up with an awkward smile. He took the doll and pushed it in through the bars.

"Oh, no, don't do that. It might break." Iris protested.

"Don't worry" Grunted Phoenix. "I trust my own abilities as a def—there we go". He said as he forced the huge plush bear, the size of Maya, through the bars.

Iris' eyes were once again brimming with tears. She looked at the bear, and hugged it.

"Did you help, Feenie?"

"Yup! I was the one who bought all the materials." He said. And then grumbled something about money to Maya.

"Oh don't be a party crasher Nick! Look at her! She loves it!"

"I guess she does" said Feenie.

"Ha! That's nothing. In Germany this kind of a present is—"

"Franziska, you must remember that we are not in Germany." Edgeworth said with while wagging his finger with a smile."There's no need for that kind of a boast"

Franziska growled and brandished her whip.

"I have already told you, Ms. Von Karma, I am not afraid of that pitiful excuse for a farce of a weapon. Why don't you go attempt to intimidate a couple of schoolchildren? I'm sure you'll have no trouble being the dominant being there!"

"Why you—"

"Now now, we're not here to argue" mediated Phoenix. "We're here to visit the sister. Remember?"

Edgeworth smiled in satisfaction.

Von Karma whipped Phoenix twice.

"O-ow!" he yelled. "What was that for?"

"Feenie!"

"Very well Mr. Wright." She said with clenched teeth."I shall resist the urge to punish Miles here. I shall deal with both of you when we get back."

"M-me? But why??" Phoenix complained.

Maya was on the ground rolling and laughing. "This is turning out to be the best visit I've ever had!"

Iris looked down. But secretly, she was smiling, and crying, at the same time.
