Turnabout Farewell
By: xKirarax
A/N Sorry for being so inactive these past few months x3; But I'm back with a new story I wrote it while I was in Colorado bored out of my mind. I hope you guys like it C:
"Hurray!"
"Guys, you might want to tone it down a bit. What if we get kicked out?"
"Ah, don't worry about it Nicky!" Larry drawled, throwing his arms around Phoenix's shoulders. Totally wasted, he realized.
"Hey Nick, can I try some of that?" Maya asked me, reaching out for my beer.
"N-no!" he yelled, slapping her hand away. "You're only 17!"
"Oh, lighten up Nicky!" Larry said, snatching up my drink and handing it to her. "Let her have some…"
"Wai-" Phoenix started to object, but Maya was already chugging it down. He took the now empty bottle from her, but Larry swiped it back and shoved a full one into his hands. "Come on, have some fun Nicky!" he cried, handing another to Maya.
Phoenix sighed. How was it that he ended up here with this band of idiots? Well, he had gotten dragged here in celebration of Edgeworth's innocence in the trials over the previous days. It seemed as though he and Edgeworth were the only sane two of the bunch.
Phoenix glanced over at him and noticed that he was just sitting there staring out the window. He started to try and strike up a conversation with him, but unfortunately for him, Larry had beaten him to it.
"Hey, Edgy!" he slurred, sitting down next to him and throwing his arm around his shoulder. "Have a drink!"
"Ah…no thank you." Edgeworth replied. "I…have a low tolerance for alcohol.
For some reason, Larry found this extremely hilarious. He busted out laughing. "Really? Who would have thought?" he took a glass of beer from the table and shoved it into Edgeworth's hands. "Come on, at least have one!"
Edgeworth stared at the drink in disgust. "No, really. I-" he was cut off by Larry pushing the glass up to his mouth.
Phoenix stared at the two and watched them bicker. Edgeworth had been acting very different since the incident had started… he was starting to see the demon prosecutor in a new light. Maybe now that this case was resolved after all these years…well, maybe would finally be able to start to heal.
He turned his attention back to the two and saw that Edgeworth had finally relented… he was gulping down his second beer.
Phoenix looked over to his left and saw that Maya had slumped over in her chair with her forehead resting on the table. He started to shake her shoulders. "Maya!" he called, but she didn't stir. Phoenix saw Detective Gumshoe and Lotta looking at him guiltily and he knew the reason at once. "You guys gave her more drinks! She's never had alcohol before!" he cried, shaking Maya once more. Still no response. Sighing, Phoenix realized that it was about time for him and Maya to go home. He stood up. "Guys, I think Maya and I are going to head home now. Thanks for dinner, Gumshoe. It's been fun." Now... fun wasn't exactly the word he would have picked first, but he was being polite. Interesting might have been a better choice.
Phoenix leaned down to pick up Maya bridal style and nearly fell over. He groaned and winced. She didn't look that heavy… "Maya," he grunted, struggling once more to pick her up. "Maybe you should lay off the burgers, huh?"
At that, everyone at the table laughed. But a voice stood out from the group.
"Need some help?"
Phoenix looked up and saw Edgeworth standing beside me, looking down at the two of them.
"Yeah…" I replied. "That would be great, thank you."
A/N:
