"NICKKK!!!! Guess what!!" Larry shouted, running into the Wright and Co. Law Offices.

Phoenix heaved a heavy sigh. Larry was the only other person who could make him bankrupt in a matter of seconds. He was going to borrow or steal money from him again. He just knew it.

Isn't there a law that states that being fired from thousands of jobs and then borrowing money from his best friend countless times and 'with' permission is illegal?

There wasn't. He checked. He checked every law book known to man. So. Many. Times.

"Well, Nick? Can you guess?" Larry looked excited.

Phoenix could think of so many reasons for him being there. "You got arrested again for calling an old lady fat."

"Nick!!" Larry whined, "Just because that happened last time doesn't mean that it happened this time!!"

"You broke into a bank to kill a tiny mouse. Again."

"No!! And it wasn't a mouse! It was a rat!! There is a difference, you know!!"

While Phoenix continued guessing ridiculous things Larry had done in the past and some things that he thought of doing, the door behind them opened.

"Hey Nick, I think Pearly puked on—LARRY!!! What are you doing here?!?!" Maya shouted when she saw Larry standing in front of Phoenix's desk, "Let me guess, you got dumped by a girl, again, and then you got fired from your job, again, and now you're asking Nick to file a suit against the company that fired you?"

Larry started screaming again. "That was last time!! This is now!! I'm a changed man!!"

Maya and Phoenix exchanged looks.

"Wait a minute. What did Pearls puke on?" Phoenix asked.

Maya played with a strand of her hair. "She didn't vomit on Charlie. Or on your new suit. Or your tiny Oldbag voodoo doll. Or your old letters from your mother. Or your old childhood photographs

"Okay then, what, exactly, are you doing here?" Phoenix asked.

Larry finally noticed a chair in front of him and sat down.

"Well, it's a long story but since you're my best friend, you'll listen, right?"

"It depends. Anyways, why don't you bother Edgeworth with this? He's much more…Um…Experienced than I am," Phoenix said.

Larry pouted. "Are you trying to get rid of me?!?! Besides, Edgeworth lost to you so many times. Think of all the times you guys fought in court. How many times have you won?"

Phoenix thought for a moment. "I don't know. More than I can count."

"And how many times has he won against you?"

"A few."

Larry jumped out of his chair. "See? Besides, what I came here for, he can't do."

Phoenix sighed. Maya took this time to 'borrow' Phoenix's wallet 'with' his permission.

"Well, anyways, I'll just continue because you can't answer it!! Well, I was walking down the street and I saw this pretty lady from the back but it turned out that she was a he and then punched my lights out—"

Phoenix interrupted, "You want to sue him?"

"NO!! Just let me finish my story!!! And then when I woke up, a pretty lady was walking past me and then I drooled. I walked up to her and asked her out. It turned out that she is my girlfriend's sister. She called me later that day and then broke up with me—"

Phoenix interrupted him again, "You're here for love advice?! Aw come on!! Why don't you go ask someone else?! I haven't had a girlfriend in years!! Besides, why don't you go ask Edgeworth? An old lady chases him daily asking for his hand in marriage."

"LET ME FINISH MY STORY!!!" Larry shouted, "She dumped me and then, since her father is my employer, I GOT FIRED FROM MY JOB!!!"

Phoenix can only guess what'll happen next.

"So I've decided to become an attorney like you, Nick!!!"

Meanwhile, Maya was currently in Happy Shopping Land, unaware of what was going on in the office as she made Phoenix bankrupt again with all the burgers she bought.
