Hehe, first post in a long time, eh? Don't worry, I haven't forsaken my other stories yet; I'm just getting this one out of my head for a little while, though it shouldn't be too long before another chapter is up (if it is well-received). I haven't decided on any pairings yet, so that will come later. Anyway, enough of my ranting, let's get on to the story.

See profile for generic disclaimer.

All was finally well in the world, thought Phoenix Wright, defense attorney extraordinaire, or as he liked to refer to himself as. He had just finished one of the most difficult cases in his career, and had his assistant returned to him after three whole days of anxiety. Now he was feasting upon some of the greatest food that he had ever tasted in his lifetime. Never mind that he had lost the case, and that he was tonight's patron, those troubles seemed insignificant next to the celebration that was well due.

Edgeworth had left a little while ago, though only touching little of his meal. 'Lucky bum,' he thought. 'He must have food this good so often that he thinks little of leaving it here.' But even though he thought that, he noticed that he himself was leaving a sizable amount as he was approaching his limit.

"Hey Nick, are you going to finish that?" Apparently Maya had noticed too, though her mouth was more or less stuffed with food.

"Well, you could have some if you like." Even before the words had exited his mouth, Maya had already scooped off half the plate. Phoenix sighed. He should have seen that coming. He was surprised that the girl could eat that much, but he supposed being starved for three days could do that to a person. Probably. "Hey, I said you could have some, not all of it!"

As opposed to the earlier excitement, the rest of the party ended peacefully. Everyone had become tired and full, now wishing for a bed. The bill arrived, much to Phoenix's sorrow, and was paid with a tear-stained check and some crumpled bills for tip. 'At least everyone volunteered to pay tip…'

From there, everyone went their separate ways, aside from Phoenix, Maya, and Pearl, who waited for the leftovers to be packed up. Maya went to go get the food while Phoenix waited by the exit with Pearl. He felt a tug at his sleeve and turned to see Pearl's excited eyes.

"I'm so happy that you were able to help out Mystic Maya, Mr. Nick!"

"Yes, I'm so relieved too. It was a rough three days."

"And I'm so happy for the two of you!"

"N-now Pearl, me and Maya…"

"Speaking of… I heard that this place was popular for honeymoons, so… I made reservations for the two of you… just in case…" Pearl hid her eyes behind her open fingers in a shy way. Phoenix stared at her dumbfounded.

"Wh-what? H-how did-?" The shock of Pearl's statement made him stammer. Maya showed up behind Pearl with bags of food.

"Hey Nick, what's wrong? You look as if they added an extra zero to the bill."

"Pearls reserved a honeymoon suite for you and me at the hotel." Maya nearly dropped the bags of food.

"Wh-what?" she looked at pear in surprise. "How? I didn't even know you knew how to reserve rooms in a hotel."

Pearl shook her head. "I didn't. Ms. Camera Lady did it for me." Phoenix could almost picture Lotta laughing in revenge for not paying for her camera.

Phoenix held his head in his hands. How was he going to pay for such an expensive room? Maybe he should have paid for that camera; it would have been a little cheaper. Maya addressed his problem for him.

"Pearly, who's going to pay for the room? Even though Nick likes to spend his money, I don't think he could afford something so nice for himself." As Maya said that, Phoenix felt two invisible arrows piercing him. 'A, it's not like I like spending money, you always force me, and B, even though I really can't afford it, can't you say it a bit nicer?'

"Don't worry, Mr. Nick doesn't have to pay anything." The comment made the two of them pause, and then they looked at Pearl in confusion.

"Huh? Then, who's paying for the room?" Phoenix went through a small list of possible suspects. 'Lotta would never take a joke this far, not when she could be spending it on her camera. The Kurain family was never this rich, so that was out of the question. Edgeworth... couldn't be because he doesn't have that much of a sense of humor anyways...'

"It's free."

Both Phoenix and Maya stared at each other in confusion. "Huh? How is it free?"

"I won it."

Pearl then explained to them how this lady was distributing this thing called a "ser-vay" and that if someone filled out the "ser-vay," they could win fabulous prizes. The lady wouldn't give Pearl one, but she picked up one that someone had just dropped. Mr. Scruffy Detective helped her fill it out, and also handed it in for her, in a game called a "raf-ful." Her "ser-vay" won the "raf-ful" and Mr. Scruffy Detective picked up the prize.

"And the prize was a three day, two night reservation for a honeymoon suite. Mr. Scruffy Detective gave it to me because he said he didn't need it, because it said the offer only lasted six months. And then he started crying for some reason." 'Poor Gumshoe, too busy with his job that he can't get a girlfriend…'

So the reservation was free. However, even though he wasn't paying for it, he still couldn't imagine staying in a honeymoon suite with Maya. He just didn't see her in that way. "Pearls, I don't think we can-" Maya effectively silenced Phoenix by slapping him on the back. Hard.

"Pearly, do you think you could watch the food for a few minutes? Nick and I need to talk about something."

Pearl eagerly nodded, thinking that they were going to exchange words of love. She covered her eyes with open fingers as they walked beyond earshot.

Phoenix could contain himself no longer. "What was that for? It really hurt, you know." Phoenix swore that he would be able to accurately describe Maya's fingerprints from the stinging sensation on his back

"Oh, suck it up, Nick. You were about to turn down Pearly's offer! You can't do that, not after all the work she did to get that room! Can't you imagine how disappointed she'd be?"

"Well, yeah, but it's a honeymoon suite, and…"

"So what? How much different could a honeymoon suite be from a regular room?"

"B-but it's for honeymooners and…" Come to think of it, he had no idea what a honeymoon suite was supposed to look like. "Well, I've never seen one, so I don't know the difference."

"Then what's the problem? Besides," she let out a small smile. "Think of it as a well deserved, all-expense paid vacation. Would you ever turn down a free vacation?"

Phoenix was starting to "Well, a vacation does sound nice…"

Maya clapped her hands. "So then it's settled." She dragged Phoenix back over to where Pearl was waiting. "Hey Pearly, we decided that it would be nice to stay in the hotel for a few days. Thanks a bunch."

"Really?" Pearl opened her eyes wide in excitement. If Maya hadn't been able to convince Phoenix into accepting the room, he had a feeling that he would have anyway just to see Pearl happy.

"Yup, we accept. Thanks very much." How bad could it be? It's not that him and Maya were awkward semi-lovers or anything. It was just going to be a relaxing vacation…

…Right?

It's a bit generic and repetitively annoying, but please supply me with some feedback and review.
