Ch.1
Phoenix Wright sat in Wright & Co. Law Offices, appearing to be doing important paperwork. But of course he wasn't, cause I mean come on lawyers have to goof off sometimes. In actuality Phoenix was drawing random doodles on a pieces of paper. Some were pictures of Maya. Some of Mia with massive bazookas (man they were huge!) Then there some of Franziska von karma in a dominatrix outfit whipping Gumshoe (er, these were a secret). Then of he and Edgeworth..whether he be strangling him or hugging him. And finally a big happy family.
Phoenix sighed. He didn't know his family, he had been adopted by a random Canadian couple as a child. He wished he had a family of his own that died or done something stupid so he angst over them, like Maya, or Edgeworth, or Franziska. It just wasn't fair.
For a while Phoenix sat wondering who his real parents were. Why had they put him up for adoption? Was it because they didn't want to raise a freak with abnormally spiky hair? Or was it because they didn't want to raise a goody two shoes who was obsessed with truth, justice...AND the American way? He doubted the latter. His parents would be able to make millions off of him, so maybe it was the hair...
He wondered what they looked like. Did they look like him? Did he act like them? What would his last name be? Phoenix...Wrong? Joaquin? River? He should just drop the idea all together. It was a silly idea anyway. Laughable. Almost as laughable as the color of Edgeworth's suit.
Somewhere at the DA's office, Edgeworth twitched. "Mr. Edgeworth, sir? All you alright?" asked detective Gumshoe worried.
"I think someone just insulted my suit." said Edgeworth aggravated. "I'm cutting your salary."
Gumshoe ran off to a corner and began to cry. That was the fifth time this week. The poor lad couldn't even afford bubble gum now.
But back at the Wright & Co. Law Offices a much more important conflict was occurring.
"The Pink Princess or Steel Samurai?" pondered Maya. "Pink Princess or Steel Samurai?"
"God! Is that all you watch?! Go watch educational programming!" said Nick.
"But, Nick educational programming doesn't exist."
"...Oh yeah. Darned." Phoenix said.
"By the way, there's a letter for you." said Maya nonchalantly passing him an envelope. "It said something about being very important and this can change your life forever."
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?! When did you get it?" Nick snapped.
"Um, about a week ago." she replied.
"...And you're giving me this now?" he asked somewhat irked.
"I'm sorry Nick I forgot! I was just preoccupied..with, um hamburgers!"
He sighed. This was to be excepted out of Maya. "Let's see what it is..." he ripped open the envelope and pulled the letter out.
It read, Dear, Phoenix Wright. I wish to meet you in an unspecified dark alley outside the Grossberg Law firm, 10:00 pm at May 18th. Come alone. I think it's time you learned the truth about your origins. Show up, or else.
from,
A friend
"..." Phoenix began to sweat bullets.
"Wow! What a great friend." said Maya. "No one ever invites me to go to dark alleys!" she said sadly.
"Maya, why would- oh forget it." this girl's logic would be something he'd never understand.
Hmm, should he go? He didn't have a clue who it was calling him out. Well it did say go or else. And something about his origins? Did that mean they knew who his parents were? Okay, he'd go as they say, but not without protection.
"Hey Maya, do you have your pepper spray?" Phoenix asked.
"Geez, Nick you're silly!" she laughed.
"Huh? What? Do you want me to die?"
"No, if you wanted protection why not use the electric taser? Much more effective." she smiled mischievously.
"Oh, you're right. Wait, you have an electric taser?" he asked somewhat afraid.
"Yeah! I stole it from von Karma a while ago."
"...Well okay, I guess I'll use it."
"Yay!" Maya said excitedly. "Where would you be without me?"
'Definitely up the creek with a paddle.' he thought.
She took out the electric taser from her bra.
"You keep it in your bra?????" he stared incredulously. "Isn't that dangerous?"
She shrugged and passed the device to him. "The only thing dangerous is you looking at my cleavage." she replied.
Phoenix blushed. He had been starring at that for a while. By accident, mind you. Nothing like..that.
"A-ack. Um, uh what's today's date?" he asked changing the subject.
Maya tilted her head thoughtfully. "Um, I think today is the May 18th."
"Okay, thanks. WAIT, THE 18th?! THAT'S WHEN THE MEETING IS!" he shouted.
"Oh, yeah..."
"Omg. Omg. Omg. What am I gonna wear?! What am I gonna say?! WHAT WILL I DOOO?!" Phoenix wailed.
Maya smacked him in the face. "Nick, calm down! You're acting like a girl getting ready to go on date! You only wear blue suits for crying out loud!"
"Good point." he said finished spazzing out.
It was 5 PM so the meeting would be in 5 hours... He'd better prepare himself for whatever lie ahead.
