It was the week of the christmas party. Trucy, Phoenix, Apollo, Athena, and chief prosecutor Miles Edgeworth were setting up for the company christmas party, each of the five set up different doors in their signature colors, After decorating the offices, the five of them went out to get pizza at their favorite pizza restaurant and talked about the christmas party a little more. Apollo left the place early while the rest of the crew stayed a bit longer.
The next day at the office, everyone showed up early except for Apollo. Athena suspected that Apollo must have fallen ill since he had not called in when the rest of the crew had arrived. A few hours later, Phoenix told Athena, "Listen, i should give you a few hours off to see what is happening with Apollo." Athena left the office and went to Apollos home to see what was going on and her suspicion was right.
After a while, Athena called Phoenix to let him know that Apollo came down with a bad cold and would not be able to come into work and Athena requested someone check on him later. Phoenix decided to do it after he was done running errands and he was having trucy run a few of the errands for him so he can see Apollo. After a few hours, Phoenix got off work and headed out to run an errand and then went to Apollos house.
