Apollo sighed with content as he returned to the office with another trial victory under his belt. It had been a grueling case, and the so-called "witnesses" weren't exactly helpful in providing a good explanation as to what had happened (not to mention his client was deaf and didn't have enough money to pay for an interpreter), but he managed to get through it all somehow and was able to get his client off the hook. Now all that was left for him to stress over was filing out the dreaded post-trial paperwork, avoiding being put on toilet duty for the eighth time that week, and going home to decide what to have for dinner. As he made his way to the entrance, he noticed his partner Athena Cykes strolling up to the office at the same time, humming a happy tune to herself; strange, considering she was just getting back from a crime scene, but then again, this was Athena. Her emotional responses to certain events were 86% unpredictable (yes, he did his own scientific research on his coworker in his free time. Ema Skye would be proud).

"Heyo, Apollo." Athena sang as she strolled up to the door just as he did. "You look pretty happy. Did you win your trial?"

"Yep." Apollo grinned. "A lot of trouble and frustration to put up with, but he was found innocent in the end. Turns out, it was his ex-wife who committed the double murder."

"Oh, wow! You'll have to tell me more about it soon."

"How about over dinner? Just one more trial, and you owe me Eldoon's."

Athena sighed. She had hoped Apollo would forget about that silly, little bet she had made when she was high off of caffeine and sleep deprivation, but evidently he did not.

"Just unlock the door." She said, her jovial tone immediately dead.

Apollo chuckled as he pulled out his key from his shirt pocket. Just as he was about to insert it into the lock, he noticed a small piece of paper taped to the door. It had a note on it, written in Trucy's handwriting.

"Come to the backyard." He read aloud.

"The backyard? For what?" Athena asked.

"Only one way to find out. Come on."

Apollo, full of anticipation, turned his heel and power walked towards the backyard with Athena following not too far behind. When the two of them went to the designated area, they found Phoenix sitting on a plastic chair, a stack of towels next to him . Instead of his formal attire, he was wearing a plain, white undershirt and black shorts. Trucy was in the back filling a bucket with water and dumping in ice cubes. Both of them immediately had a pretty good idea what was about to happen.

"ALS Ice Bucket Challenge?" Apollo and Athena asked amused.

Phoenix nodded slowly, an indifferent expression on his face.

"Oh good! Polly and Thena are here!" Trucy exclaimed as she shut off the water and hauled the bucket over towards them. "You guys have the fun part! You're going to dump this water all over Daddy!"

"Yes!" Athena jumped in the air with excitement, but Apollo had an uncertain feeling about this. He glanced over at his boss, who just shook his head.

"It's for a good cause." Phoenix said. "I'm not going to fire you."

"Well in that case…" Apollo couldn't prevent a devious smirk from forming on his face. "I'll gladly dump ice cold water on you."

"Alright, guys!" Trucy took out her phone and activated the camera. "Daddy, you have to make a small speech. And make it interesting!"

Phoenix sighed. He really wasn't looking forward to this at all. "Okay…um…my name is Phoenix Wright, attorney at law. Need a lawyer? Call me and I'll set things 'Wright' with the law!"

Apollo and Athena were barely able to conceal their laughter. They couldn't believe he just used that corny slogan Trucy had suggested for their agency in his speech.

"Anyways, I was nominated to do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge…" He continued, trying to sound as amused as he possibly could. "I'd like to dedicate this to my great aunt who passed away from the disease a while ago. Love you Aunt Betty! And, uh, that should be it. Okay…I'm ready now…actually, wait, I don't think I am—"

Too late. Apollo and Athena, each holding one side of the bucket, crept up behind him and dumped the freezing cold water all over his body, drenching him from head to toe. Phoenix's eyes went wide as the chilling rush raced through his system. All of the air left his lungs from being doused in the freezing waters. He coughed as some of the water got in his nose, and it brought back unpleasant memories from that time when he fell off Dusky Bridge.

"Jesus C-C-Christ that is…c-c-c-old…" His teeth chattered.

"It's the Ice Bucket Challenge! What were you expecting, hot water?" Athena laughed.

Trucy was beside herself with laughter at seeing her poor daddy shivering and trying to catch his breath. Apollo and Athena high fived each other while Phoenix couldn't take anymore and yanked his soaking wet shirt off his body. He grabbed all of the towels and bundled himself up in them like a newborn in blankets. His skin was covered in goose bumps and turning slightly red from the cold. The previous chill was fading away, now leaving an uncomfortable numbness behind. On top of all that, he wasn't really enjoying all of the laughing that was directed at him. Why did he feel like an idiot now?

"Okay, Daddy!" Trucy said, still giggling. "Now you have to nominate someone to do the challenge next."

Phoenix sniffled; great, a cold was already beginning to come on. Well, at least he'd be able to have some fun with this. An evil grin came to his face as he blurted out the names, "I nominate Trucy, Maya Fey, Miles Edgeworth, and my understudies for this challenge."

Apollo, Athena, and Trucy instantly stopped their laughing fit as they looked at him in disbelief.

"You have twenty-four hours." Soon, it would be Phoenix's turn to laugh.

PX: Now this story has officially begun! Next up is Miles Edgeworth! And who's after that? You, that's right you, the person reading this behind that screen, get to decide! Remember, one character per person and it can be anyone in the series, dead or alive. Till next time, readers!
