Well…I'm giving you guys a surprise. I've decided to post a couple chapters. I loved the story "Objection!" a lot, and I hope I don't mess it up with the sequel. Anyways without further ado, I present you "The Continuous Objection!"

Phoenix woke with a start. His head was leaning over the couch as his eyes adjusted to the light. Getting up, Phoenix walked to the kitchen, which was in a mess. Phoenix's memory finally came back to him. He had invited everyone to the office after the victory in court. Pearl and Trucy had a failed attempt to bake a cake while everyone talked or watched tv. Smiling, Phoenix remembered how beautiful Maya looked that night. However, he didn't confess to her. It's best that way…for now. After his trip down memory lane, Phoenix went to the bathroom and took a shower.

Christian Lumarta was pacing back and forth in the basement of an abandoned house. He was infuriated with what had happened during yesterday's trial. His accomplices, Gary and Kelsey, were both taken to jail, charged with multiple crimes. "I can't believe it! This isn't what was supposed to happen! You were supposed to be the master already!"

"I know…brother, but be patient. As long as we remain free, Maya Fey will never be truly safe. And the best thing…Mr. Wright has no idea about our plan."

Phoenix managed to tear himself from the shower. After putting on his hoodie, Phoenix left the bathroom and went into the living room. Turning on the tv, he watched the morning news.

"Yesterday, Phoenix Wright managed to pull off an upset victory in court, extending his perfect record ever since he came back to law. Not only did he find the real murderer, he also found the culprits of a far more nefarious scheme. We now send you to Leslie Dousley with the full details."

"As you said, Morgan, Phoenix Wright extended his perfect record with his return to law. After what appeared to be an unwinnable case, Phoenix Wright stunned the world with his comeback victory, with the slip of the tongue. I managed to interview the judge of the case and this is what he said."

*plays recording*

"If the witness had never slipped the tongue, it very well might have been a victory for the prosecution. I was already willing to give her the guilty verdict and—"

Phoenix was interrupted with the opening of the entrance door. Getting up, Phoenix saw Edgeworth walk in. "Wright, I heard about your victory yesterday in court. Impressive."

"Thanks Edgeworth. It wasn't just me, however. If Jonathan had never testified, it would have been a guilty verdict."

"I see, well, I just came by to say congratulations to you and see how Maya is doing."

"She's still sleeping. It was a long night last night, and she was completely exhausted."

"Ah, well, is it okay if I wait here until she wakes up?"

"Help yourself."

Phoenix led Edgeworth to the living room. The story about Phoenix's trial was still playing as they sat down.

"…so that means that the whole studio owes Phoenix Wright an apology after the report we aired before."

"I agree, so, as a studio, we apologize Phoenix Wright."

Phoenix gave a lopsided grin to the tv. Suddenly, he heard footsteps. Looking up, he saw Pearls and Trucy walk into the living room. Phoenix chuckled as he noticed that they were basically sleepwalking. "Tough night?"

Trucy growled, "Pearl just wouldn't stop snoring."

Pearl gave Trucy an evil glare as she said, "No, that was you."

Both Phoenix and Edgeworth laughed as they two started bickering. "By the way, you guys get to clean the kitchen after dirtying it up last night. "I know Dad!" As they walked away, Phoenix looked at Phoenix. "So, have you told her?"

"Told who what?"

"Told Maya how you really feel?"

"Oh…no, I haven't. I thought about it yesterday, but she had been through so much, I decided she didn't need me giving her more than what she could bear."

"I see…well, you might want to hurry up and tell her. I did some research on Lloyd Grescham last night. Turns out, he's been engaged a couple times in quick relationships."

"He has?"

"Yep, all of those engagements occurred after about a week of dating."

"I—I see…thanks for the heads up Edgeworth."

They sat in silence afterwards as they both watched tv, until Maya came into the room.

"Edgeworth?! What are you doing here?"

"I came to see how you were doing after the trial yesterday. It must have been tough on you."

Maya shrugged. "It wasn't the best day of my life, but it wasn't the worst."

"Oh? Why's that?"

"You already forgot the Hazakura Temple?"

"Oh…yeah, I would say that would be worse. Anyways, I just came to see if you were alright. I'll be leaving now. I have a trial I have to prepare for tomorrow, and I need not any distractions. I'll see you guys later."

With that, Edgeworth walked out of the office. Maya went to the kitchen and tried to scrounge for something to eat. Phoenix turned back to the tv and watched the remnant of the news broadcast. Finally, it's all over.

Phoenix was still in the living room when Maya came back in, having just showered. "Maya, I need to talk to you about something."

"What is it?"

"When are you planning to go back to Kurain Village?"

"Oh…not for a while. After all, Lloyd lives here and he doesn't want to make the train ride every day to see me."

"I see, anyways, I was just wondering."

"Is that it?"

"Yep."

"Sure?"

"Why wouldn't I be sure?"

"…nothing." With that, Maya went back to her room. That was strange. After finally becoming bored of watching tv, Phoenix got up and went to his office. Looking over the transcripts of the previous case, Phoenix smiled. He kept rereading Kelsey's slip of the tongue. That's what won the trial…right there. Phoenix went off to his own dream land as he was engrossed in the files.

He didn't take the hint… Maya took out the latest edition of "Cultastic" started reading. Don't worry, he'll eventually confess to you Maya…just be patient.

And that ends the first chapter of "The Continuous Objection!" Please review and tell me what you think. Thanks for reading.
