A/N: Bwehehe… my first fic. I hope you people enjoy this. I don't really have a plot yet, so I'm making it up as I go. But I promise that I will try to keep you guessing who the murderer is. Or at least try. Hehehe…Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Phoenix Wright or any of the characters in the Ace Attorney game. I only own the yet-to-be-thought-of-plot and my yet-to-be-thought-of OCs and my sanity.


I, Phoenix Wright, stood in the courtroom sweating bullets. How did I get into this mess? I was cornered once again. By Winston Payne no less, the worst prosecutor working for the prosecutor's office-according to my assistant, Maya Fey, that is. There was no way out.


It was a normal day at Wright and Co. Law Offices. If you count two spirit mediums bursting through the office door without warning and shoving a newspaper article in your face thus pushing you backwards into the going-to-be-washed toilet bowl, that is. Ugh. I smell like a dead animal carcass now. I need a bath.

"Nicknicknicknicknicknicknick!," Maya shouted all in one breath. Where does she get all this energy from? I wonder if she had an overdose of coffee this morning. Then again, she's always like this so that would probably mean that she has an overdose everyday. I think I'm going to need to prepare a grave for her. She'll probably die of overdoses of caffeine.

"Mister Nick, why are you so quiet all of a sudden? You should listen to what Mystic Maya has to say! After all, she is your special someone, right?" Pearls, Maya's cousin who is also a spirit medium in training said as she put both her hands to her face cupping it and dozing off to Lala Land.

I sighed. Clearly, this little girl has not forgotten that Maya and I had worked a few cases together in the past, but I don't have any special feelings for her. I think.

Maya, who had just came back into my office, holding a plate of cookies and had left sometime when I was thinking to myself, continued what she was saying earlier.

"Nicknicknicknicknicknicknicknicknicknicknicknicknicknicknick!!" she said again, this time with more 'Nicks' and more energy. I made a mental note to myself that sugar rushes give you more energy than an overdose of caffeine. "Look at this! Franziska is back! According to this, she said that she'll be looking forward to taking her revenge on you! I can't wait for the face-off! I wonder how long you'll be able to last her whipping this time..."

"NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" I mentally screamed. The evil Franziska and her even more evil whip is back! Go to your happy place. Go to your happy place.

I looked at the grinning Maya standing before me. Evil glinted in her eyes. The worse possible thing that could happen now was her running toward Franziska, asking her to give her whipping lessons. Since Pearls practically lives for Maya, she'll join her and that will make up three people whipping me non-stop. Sigh. I'd better get started on my will soon…

"Is that all?" I asked her.

"Nope!" she said, grinning again, "I've got a present for you!"

I raised an eyebrow. Where did she get the money to buy a present? Hmm…I wonder if she has another job I do not know about. A shoplifter, maybe?

"Here!" She handed me a neatly wrapped present. It was rectangular and smooth. She probably got me a book or something made from paper. My eyes lit up. It could be a certain book I saw the other day at the book shop.

I carefully unwrapped the gift with Pearls and Maya watching nearby. It was a big brown envelope. If inside this envelope is another envelope, I'm pretty sure the gift would probably be just envelopes in envelopes. Knowing Maya, this is the most likely possibility. I opened it and inside was an autopsy report. Oh, oh dear. Who did the authorities suspect she 'killed' this time?

I looked at Maya. She and Pearly were in a corner talking about getting burgers later. I know that I'll be paying. "Maya, what's this supposed to be?" I asked her.

"Glad you asked, Nick! Hee hee hee..." Maya said as she clapped her hands together and nodded her head eagerly. "Well you see, I was watching the news last night and I saw this man getting arrested by Detective Gumshoe! So, since no one was going to take his case…"

"You thought that I would."

"Yep!" she grinned again. Seriously, is that smile glued to her face or something?

Pearls padded up to us. "So, when are we going to meet your new client, Mister Nick?"

I was about to say that I was not going to take another case until I finish cleaning the toilet but I looked at Pearls who was giving me her cute puppy-dog eyes. She was just too cute to say 'no' to. Curse her cuteness.

"We'll go now, but where'd you get the autopsy from?" I turned to Maya who had eaten the plate clean when I had my very short conversation with Pearls.

"Huh? Oh. Well, I met Detective Gumshoe on the way here and, after a veeeeeeeeeeery long beg, I persuaded him to give me a copy of the report. He looked really sad about it too."

I sighed again, picturing Maya shouting 'please' over and over again until Gumshoe's head was at the verge of explosion. "Well, we'd better get going then. I think we should go meet this new client of mine."

We all headed toward the detention center, wondering who my client would be like and what he was like. At this rate, I won't get a chance to clean the toilet…


A/N: So how is it so far? Whether you like it or hate it, I don't mind. It is my first story after all. I need to make up names and places now. I'm no good at that. Please review! I will really appreciate any review whether good or bad. But please tell me what I did wrong if you don't like it, so that I can correct it soon. Thank you! ^^ Um... that's all for now, I think.
