Turnabout Harem
A couple of things to know before you begin reading
-I funked up some things in the last chapters, so to bring it out in the open:
It's actually 13 years in the future, not 7, so here's some of the ages of the already here characters:
Phoenix: 39
Maya: 32
Apollo: 28
Trucy: 21
Pearl: 22
Just because I mentioned her, Franziska: 32
-Someone wondered if I would have Miles Edgeworth get a harem in this fic. To be honest, it sounds like something I could save for another fic. Plus the fact that I haven't play Investigations 2 due to not understanding Kanji for shit…mostly, so I can't really know who's crushing on him, and I'm not going to spoil myself until I played the damn game for myself.
Also, maybe some characters might make it into the story. Depends if I feel like keeping up with their involvement to the plot. Most likely a cameo at best, but one can hope, ja?
-Any requests for a girl and/or OC to be in the harem is allowed, but note that I may not keep up with them.
-The OCs in this story that aren't from anyone are just for show. Basically, to show how hot Phoenix and Apollo have gotten (Even if they don't know, themselves), so they're not part of the harem…gomen, desu…
-Something to note that while there are some scenes that may have lemon hints, this is not really a lemon fic, so the imagination of sex is up to you guys to imagine.
-There will be pregnancies. Who will get pregnant, well…you'll find out, ja?
Now that I've straighten some things out, enjoy the chapter!
Chapter 3: Seck-ze Tiem!
"Hey, you've reached Apollo Justice, the dude with the 'tude!...did I just really say that? Trucy, this is the lamest line ever!"
"Aww, come on, Polly! Just say it!"
"Uuuugggggh! Fine…ahem! Anyway, I can't come to the phone right now. (deadpan) I'm out either serving Justice on a Victory Plate with a side of Not Guilty verdicts…oh god…or Watching my most amazing assistant, Magician Mistress Trucy Wright and her…magical underw-"
"PANTIES, Polly!"
"…panties…wowing the audience with mind-blowing tricks and I'm enjoying every. Single. Minu-oh screw this! You know what to do, unless you suck at technology."
"Polly, you screwed up! That's not what you're supposed to say!"
"Screw what this says! This is embarrassing, and you know it!"
"You didn't even put any feeling into it!"
"Because it S-U-C-K-S! SUCKS!
"Polly!"
Beep
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! You've reeeeeally got to change that answering machine, Apollo. Anyway, this is Phoenix, and I called to ask if you could look after Trucy for me. I have to go somewhere for my case today, and I need someone to keep an eye on her. God knows what she would do if we leave her alone…again. I still have nightmares about that clogged toilet…a-anyway, see you two when I get back! If you need me, call my cell."
Phoenix clicked the end button and placed his phone back in his pocket. Apollo made that answering machine a couple of years ago, and hasn't changed it since. Mostly because he said that he was too lazy to think of something normal to say, but maybe it was secretly because he sucked at technology.
Phoenix betted on the latter.
"Hey, I appreciate you taking me all the way to the train station for free. I'll pay you double next time I see you, Ms. Taylor." Phoenix spoke to the cab driver. He had called her to come take him to the train station for his case, since it was the only way to Kurain Village, which lead to Hazakura Temple, and she was kind enough to take him there for free. She even let him sit in the front seat, which he accepted with gratefulness.
"Ah, no problem, Nicky! Please, call me Mindy. It sounds so…formal and iffy when you call me Ms. Taylor. Makes me feel…unwanted." Mindy replied, her long brown hair flowing with the wind. One good look at her, and you could tell she was a very pretty woman. All she wore was a green blouse with a skirt of a darker shade of green, with sandals to boot. She had a couple of bracelets on, a chain necklace and a ring on her middle finger. She even had a little makeup on. No one would've guessed that she was actually 35, even though she looked at least 23.
"Ah, sorry, Ms. Tay-um…Mindy." Phoenix apologized. Mindy smiled at him.
"So…um…care to tell me about yourself, Nicky?" Mindy asked. "What's a handsome guy like you going to the train station for?"
"Oh, it's for a case. I'm a lawyer, you see." Phoenix flashed his badge. "There's been a murder near a temple, and my client's the suspect. I'm going there to look for clues to see what happened."
"Oh, a lawyer, you say? My ex-husband was a lawyer once. Cheating bastard slept with every client he had…."Mindy gritted her teeth in anger and her grip on the wheel tightened. "But why are you looking for clues? Isn't that a detective's job, or are you an undercover detective yourself, handsome?" She gave Phoenix a flirty smile.
Phoenix actually thought about it. He had been doing a detective's work for his career, even if he wasn't a detective himself. Maybe I should become a detective if I ever get disbarred again… "Well…I might as well be. But no, I'm just your plain old average defense attorney." He grinned brightly.
'Average' is the understatement of the year with you, Nicky. I can see those muscles under that shirt, rippling and so well-toned…and those legs! She licked her lips. I wonder how it feels just touching them…from down up, obviously! Maybe I can get a little sample of what I can expect…and seeing this godly masterpiece in my car, I may just have to take him right here, rig-
"Oh, we're here already? That was fast."
DAMN! CURSE YOU, GREEN LIGHTS OF DOOM!
Phoenix opened his side of the door and exited the car, grabbing his items and closing the door. He walked to the driver's side and gave a wad of bills to Mindy. "Thanks for the ride, Mindy. I know you said that it was free, but I'm paying you anyway. Anyway, I hope to see you again, Mindy."
Mindy smiled and got out of the car to hug him. "Hehehe! You're too nice for your own good, you know that, Nicky?" ZOMFG! WHAT THE HELL KIND OF EXERCISE DOES HE DO TO GET THESE ABS AND PECS? I…I think I feel something in my naughty bits from the sheer feeling…
Phoenix hugged her back and backed up to the station. "Thanks, Mindy. I'll see you around, ok!" He gave her one of his big grins and went inside to get on the train, and he had the same feeling that he had when he was at the detention center…
…of someone staring at his ass again.
O…M…G! I KNEW THAT HIS CHEST AND LEGS WERE FINE BUT…THAT ASS TAKES THE CAKE! Mindy made a pinching potion on Phoenix's ass. THAT HAIR…THAT STUBBLE…THAT VOICE…THE WHOLE PACKAGE! I've never felt this way about anyone before….except my ex-husband, Ron, but he's a prick. PHOENIX IS A GREEK GOD IN MODERN TIMES! Hehehehehe…if he comes back, I think I'll just take him right then and there…
Getting back inside the cab and driving away, Mindy pulled out her cell phone and pressed a few numbers before waiting for someone to pick up.
"Hello, Ricky? Mommy wants to ask you something: How would you like a new daddy?"
(MEANWHILE, AT HAZAKURA TEMPLE! PHOENIX ARRIVES WITHOUT A COAT AND GETS SICKS BECAUSE I MADE HIM DO THAT!)
"BLA-CHOO! Ugh….forgot to bring a coat." Phoenix sniffled. Once he arrive in Hazakura, people gave him weird looks (and some flirtatious ones only to sadly go unnoticed), and he wondered if it was because of his clothes.
Well, it was half-right.
Now being at the temple, the one thing that slipped his mind was the fact that how ridiculously cold it could get, and now he's paying the price: by freezing his butt off.
"I just hope…" SNIFF! "Ugh…that someone opens the door and…l-let me in…s…s….SI-CHOO!" He sneezed again, and began to try and warm his body up with friction from his arms. It was then that the temple doors opened, much to Phoenix's relief, and waiting on the other side…
…was someone who looked an awful like Iris…only it was a smaller version. More like a teenage version.
"Um….can I…help you, sir?" The young girl asked.
Phoenix would've responded, if he had the ability to, but due to the fact that his teeth were clanking together like a beaver, all that came out his mouth was "W-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-a-a-a-a-a-a-r-r-r-r-r-m-m-m-m-m-t-t-t-t-t-h-h-h-h-h…p-p-p-p-p-l-l-l-e-e-e-e-a-a-a-s-s-s-s-s-e-e-e…" The wind decided to pick up, making everything just colder, and not any better for the freezing attorney. The young girl, thankfully, took his hand and led him inside.
"Goodness, sir! You're out here without a coat on! How did you even survive walking all the way up here like this?" The girl questioned. Phoenix tried to answer, but all that came out was a sneeze. "Oh yes, that's right. Let me warm you up first. I have to tell Sister Bikini about this before I can do anything. She may get mad if I bring another stranger here without her permission…" The girl sat Phoenix down in one the guest rooms and placed a blanket on him. "Please stay here while I get you some hot soup, ok?"
Phoenix nodded and the girl left, closing the door and leaning on the wall.
My…my goodness…that man…he…was very handsome….and his hand was rough….but I…felt a gentleness through the cold. Is…
She placed a hand on her chest. Is…this what all men feel like? Do they make you feel like your heart is thumping repeatedly? Are they all that handsome like him? I've met a couple of men in my life, but they were customers staying for a few nights or so, and they always had their wives with them. The girl felt her heart beat faster as she thought of Phoenix. They've always said that they fell in love at the first sight of them. Is…IS THIS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT?
"Feris, what're you doing here?" The girl turned to the voice. It was none other than Sister Bikini, the caretaker of the temple. Ever since the Hazakura Incident, people had taken an interest in the Kurain Channeling Technique, and many of them had come to the temple to learn more about it. Slowly, the once-distain for channeling spirits was being forgotten, and now came a new feeling: curiosity. Sister Bikini was all too pleased to have the temple publicly displayed.
"Oh, S-S-Sister Bikini! I was just…just…" Feris tried to think of an excuse. "I was…cleaning the room! It looked a bit dusty, and I wanted to clean it for…other guests, in case they wanted to stay tonight!"
"KRA-CHOO! Ugh…this cold."
"Like…this one right here!" She smiled nervously, and Bikini gave a skeptical look of disapproval. "This man…um…" I DIDN'T EVEN ASK HIM WHY WAS HE EVEN HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE! Um…quick, Feris! Think of something! "...traveled a long way to…learn of our culture! So…I let him sign in and led him to this room! I was going to tell you, but I had just finished cleaning the room…and I was catching my breath because I had cleaned it so fast! I'm sorry, Sister Bikini…" Feris looked down in guilt.
I hope she falls for it and believes me for now. I also have to get that man to go along with me while I ask what is he doing here in the first place. But…I don't want to feel like this with him right in front of Sist-
Sister Bikini instead walked past her and opened the door. "Feris, what did I tell you about taking in strangers? I told you to consult with me about these kinds of matters, for your own safety and mine! You never know what kind of men you may bring in here! They could be robbers, or rapists, or tax payers, or…"
Sister Bikini got one good look at Phoenix Wright…stared…then closed the door and whispered to Feris. "Ok, who is that hunk and why didn't you tell me about him SOONER?"
"But Sister Bikini, you said-"
"THAT DOESN'T MATTER! You should've told me that you had that hunk inside this room! You…you were planning to keep him for yourself, weren't you?"
"WHAT? N-N-N-No! I wasn't! I don't even know who he is!"
"LIAR! You said that he signed his name, didn't you?"
"Um…"
At that moment, Phoenix decided to pop his head out and speak. "Um…Sister Bikini?"
Bikini and Feris turned to him and spoke. "Yes?"
Phoenix smiled. "Hi…again. Remember me? Phoenix Wright? From 13 years ago….remember?"
Sister Bikini took a moment to think about it….then a realization hit her. Two, in fact. "Why, Mr. Wright! You have certainly gotten handsomer! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!" Her cheeks jiggled. "Why, I almost didn't recognize you there! So good to see you! I heard that you got disbarred for showing fake evidence!"
Phoenix had to laugh. "Yeah, that was true. However, 6 years ago, I was found innocent, and I just passed the bar exam last month, so I'm a lawyer again. How've you been, Bikini? I heard that you've become quite the attraction magnet." He grinned.
Bikini chuckled. "Oh, Mr. Wright, you flatter me so! HA HA HA HA HA HA! But yes. Thanks to your efforts, Kurain and Hazakura are brimming with people every day! Just last year, I had so many customers, I nearly had the whole village come help with everything! But everyone learned a thing or two about spirit channeling, and we even had some people talked to their loved ones for a small fee! For that, I humbly thank you and your friends for bringing back the respect that the Kurain Channeling Technique deserved."
"No need to thank us, Bikini. We just found the truth, and that took care of the rest." Phoenix replied.
"Oh my, handsome AND modest! You've certainly changed a lot over the years! Your wife must be proud of you right now!"
"Heheheh…sorry, but I'm still single. Been single since I dated Iris." Phoenix admitted. All these years, he never dated anyone else, hoping that he could still have Iris when she got out of jail.
Bikini gasped. "YOU'RE KIDDING! Why, surely you must have many women knock on your door, asking for your hand in marriage!"
"Nope, not ever since I adopted Trucy. I'm not too sure that many women like a man with a kid, you know."
"You adopted a child? What happened?" Bikini asked.
Phoenix just chuckled. "Oh boy…do I have a LOT to tell you…"
But before they could go down memory lane, Feris decided to speak up. "Wait a minute…are you…THE Phoenix Wright?"
Phoenix turned to the girl before speaking. "Um…yes…you know about me?
Feris looked away for a bit before nodding. Bikini sighed as she walked over to her and took her hand. "Feris?"
Feris looked at her. "Yes…I think….he's the one." Bikini nodded.
Phoenix tilted his head to the side before speaking. "Um…what happened?"
Bikini took his hand and gave him a sad look. "Mr. Wright…there's…something we need to tell you…"
Phoenix just nodded and motioned for her to lead the way. "Ok…I hope it's nothing tragic…"
"No no, not tragic. Just…surprising…"
(some time later, in the main hall)
Phoenix could've swore that his jaw hit the floor with tremendous force, and who could blame him.
"WAIT A MINUTE! So…what you're telling me….is that around the time Iris broke up with me, she was A MONTH PREGNANT?"
Sister Bikini nodded.
"And that she had the baby 8 MONTHS AFTER WE BROKE UP?"
Nod.
"AND FERIS IS THAT SAME BABY?"
This time Feris nodded.
"AND YOU'RE SAYING THAT THE FATHER IS MOST LIKELY ME?"
Nod.
Phoenix had to sit down and think it through.
Ok, so….apparently, Iris got pregnant around the time we were dating, and I know that she'd never cheat on me. Obviously, her sister caught on, and ended things around there with Doug Swallow's death. But she was also planning to kill me as well, but that never went through. I never saw her again after that, so that must mean that she had the baby after we ended things. The next time I see her, she's baby-free, and never made a hint about the kid at all. Now, 13 years later, I find out that her daughter is working with sister Bikini, and that I'm the potential father. I've only got one thing to say…
"Next time Larry gives me a condom, go and buy one at the store. Should've known that it passed the expiration date by 5 YEARS…" Phoenix mumbled to himself.
Sister Bikini stood up and walked out the room. "Now, I'm sure that you two have a lot to talk about…so I'll leave you two alone, ok?"
Feris and Phoenix nodded as Bikini left them alone.
Moments passed as silence took over, neither of them saying a word.
Finally, Phoenix spoke first. "Um…Feris?"
Feris looked up. "Um….yes…Mr…Wright?"
"…you know, you can call me Daddy, right? I mean, I AM your father, aren't I?"
"POTENTIAL father, not real father…but seeing the situation, you might as well be…"
Phoenix cringed at her bluntness. No doubt she got it from Morgan.
"We could take a DNA test and see, can we?" He offered.
Feris looked at him and just gave a smile, much like his own. "No need. Sister Bikini gave one last time you were here, and the test came out positive. You're my father, alright! But mother was right, you're pretty gullible when it came to these kinds of matters." But that leaves me with one question: if he's my dad, why did I feel what I felt before. Don't tell me I'm actually attracted to my dad! EWWWW!
"She gave one last time I was here?" Phoenix questioned.
"You were asleep."
"Oh…"
Silenced passed again. "Um…so…father?" Feris asked.
"Have you seen your mother lately, Feris? I miss her." Phoenix said.
Feris looked at him and smiled. "Yes….I went to visit her last month, actually. She's being released in a few weeks, actually. She told me about all the wonderful things she did with you in college. Even if it was part of Aunt Daliha's plan to kill you, I'm glad that it brought you two together. When I was younger, I would always ask mother about you, and she would always say the same thing…"
Your father…is, was and always will be the one man that I truly love, and for these reasons…
"Every time, she would give a different reason that she loved about you, father. I always wanted to see what kind of man made mother happy, even if she went to jail. That's when she showed me this picture!" Feris took out a small photo and showed it to Phoenix. It was him 13 years ago, when he took a photo for his victory in the Hazakura Trial. His old blue suit, his clean face and that infamous spiky hair.
No wonder she didn't recognize him.
"You looked goofy…but sincere, and honest. I think those were 2 of the many reasons mother loved you. She still does, actually. Matter of fact, she told me that her first priority was to take me to see you, but I guess that's a no-go, huh?" Feris giggled.
Phoenix gave a chuckle of his own. "Yeah…I guess not. So…would you and Iris like to come live with me?"
Feris was taken aback by the question. "Live with you? But I just met you today…and I lived here all my life. Besides, I'm sure that you're still shocked about having a daughter, anyway."
Phoexnix smiled. "Feris…after having my mentor killed, defending my best friend, taking down the perfect prosecutor, winning a trial with amnesia, getting whipped into unconsciousness, dealing with an assassin, getting nearly felt up by a gay French man, having a copy of me lost my case, getting pelted with seeds, chewing a necklace that had poison in it and swallowing it, getting tased by a powerful electric shock and getting back up moments later, nearly getting bitten by a tiger, busting down thick doors with sheer strength, running across a burning bridge, falling into a river that would've killed me, getting sick from said river, getting hit by a car, fly 30 feet in the air, smash into a pole headfirst and walk out with a sprained ankle, and losing my badge because someone raged over not being their defense attorney, I have to say that finding out that my ex having my daughter is something…normal, compared to what I've been through, and about 85% or more of that happened before I met your mother for the 2nd time. So no, it's not shocking at all for me." He concluded.
Feris was taken aback by her father's explanation. "Wow…father…I never knew that you had so many things happen to you. You must really be lucky…or unlucky…"
Phoenix chuckled and ruffled her hair. "Your dad is just your dad…nothing else." He gave a warm smile, which Feris responded back with her own.
I think I get it now…I'm not attracted to my own dad…I'm just so happy because he came here…and I finally met him, I guess…I was just nervous…and he IS pretty good looking. If mom were to see him now…
"By the way, father. I forgot to ask, but why did you come here?" Feris asked.
Phoenix sighed. "Well…you know about the murder that happened here a few days ago, right?"
Feris nodded. "The police are searching for clues right now. Are you here to help them?"
Phoenix nodded. "Yeah, kind of. I'm defending Maya, so I need to gather everything I can for tomorrow's trial."
'So, you're defending Mystic Maya, father?" He nodded. "I see…I hope that you do not fall in love with her…or mother would be sad, and I would be very upset…"
Great, another MeXFey shipper…or MexHawthorne…this time it's my daughter shipping me and her mother…which isn't bad, since we do love each other, and we've been together before. I guess this is getting back together…ah, whatever, I have a case to solve. I'll monologue in my mind later about this.
"I only have eyes for your mother, Feris. Don't you forget that, ok?" Phoenix reassured his daughter. She looked up at him and nodded. He smiled as he made his way to the crime scene. When he had his back turned, he heard her say something.
"I love you…daddy. Can we go somewhere as a family when mother gets out of jail?" Feris asked.
Phoenix grinned at her and gave her the OK.
(AT THE CRIME SCENE)
"Foolishly Foolish Fools, Foolishly messing with the foolish crime scene, not foolishly wondering how their foolish mistake can foolishly ruin my perfect record, the fools."
Franziska von Karma was a general among her subordinates. If they were out if line, she'd whipped them into shape, literally. If they make a mistake, she'd whipped then for that. Someone tried to flirt with her, she'd break his fingers. But who could blame them? Her hair grew out just barely passing her shoulders, and her skirt was now longer, reaching her ankles. She had on a white blouse with her black vest, black gloves and diamond encrusted whip. She even applied a little make-up on, but it had to be perfect. Only the best of the best was allowed on her skin.
All in all, she was beautiful.
"I swear…my whip gets more blood on it whipping these fools than the blood in all the murders I were in combined."
"Awww, come on, Franzy! Lighten up!"
Too bad she couldn't do much to Kay Faraday, assistant of Miles Edgeworth and self-proclaimed Great Thief, Yatagarasu. Edgeworth had…'matters' to attend to, and so, Kay decided to accompany Franziska on the case, and finally meet the Phoenix Wright that everyone talked about so much.
(EDGEWORTH'S 'MATTERS')
"EDGEY-POO, COME AND GIVE ME SOME SUGAR, BABY!"
"OH DEAR GOD, HOW DID SHE MANAGE TO CLONE HERSELF? THERE'S OVER 9000 OF HER!"
Edgeworth ran with all his might, and somehow ran aside Apollo Justice, who was pedaling at top speed.
"Justice?"
"NO TIME! GOT TO MOVE! MAGICIAN AND MEDIUM ON MY ASS! YOU?"
"OLD LADY STALKER!"
"POLLY, COME BACK AND LET'S DO THE NASTY AGAIN!"
"DARLING, LET'S HAVE A BEAUTIFUL BABY TOGETHER!"
They ran at a speed so fast, Sonic the Hedgehog and The Flash would've cried tears of shame at their own speed.
(BACK TO THE CRIME SCENE)
"Foolish little brother, foolishly leaving me with this foolish fool of an assistant, who may foolishly do something foolish."
"You know, I'm amazed at how you can say fool so many times and not mess up once, Franzy."Kay commented.
Franziska smirked. "A von Karma is always perfect, in and out the courtroom, no less. Now quit wasting my time and get to investigating!" She cracked her whip.
Kay jumped up and hugged the nearest thing that she could find…
…the thing having a rock-hard chest and abs.
WHOA! Like…I'm no gym instructor or anything…but this guy is RIPPED! I can totally feel his muscles bulging through his clothes… Kay looked up to see the guy she jumped on.
Phoenix looked down at Kay and smiled. "Um…not to be rude, or anything…but can you get off of me, please? I'd appreciate it, Ms. Faraday."
WHOA, LIKE, HE TOTALLY KNOWS WHO I AM, AND HE'S LIKE SUPER MEGA HOT! His hair is soooooooooo GOOD LOOKING! And his voice. SEXINESS! Is this a god sent from heaven to take me away? I think the Great Yatagarasu is being stolen…I mean, he stole my heart already…
"KAY FARADAY!" Crack! "RELEASE YOURSELF THIS INSTANT AND GET BACK TO WORK!" Franziska yelled, cracking her whip once again, causing Kay to let go of Phoenix and scurry away.
"Now…as for you…" She turned to him. "This is a crime scene, so unless you-" Her jaw dropped opened at the sight of Phoenix, and suddenly, her mind conjured up a fantasy.
(FRANZISKA'S FANTASY)
The man was standing in front of her, dripping wet as he had just got out of a pool, wearing only a long-sleeve dress shirt and skinny blue jeans, barefoot. His shirt was open, revealing his bare chest. His hair was dripping wet, and he had a grin that sent shivers down her spine. Walking up to her, he gripped her hips and laid her on the bed that just happened to be there. Shedding his shirt, he whispered into her ear.
"Franziska…you make me ache for you…you tease me, and make me yearn for this…and for that…" He started to plant butterfly kisses from her ear down to her neck, earning a moan. "I'll make you pay…with your body…" Going down further, it was only a matter of time before she was lost in the pleasure.
(END FANTASY)
Who…who is this man? I've never seen him before, and yet he already has me thinking about him, the foolish…god of a man. I don't think he's even a fool anymore. No…no…this man is not a fool at all.
He is a god among gods, and that is perfect for a von Karma to be with. I…want him. NOW!
Phoenix looked at her as she dropped her jaw. "Unless I…?"
Franziska shook her head. "Never mind…I…do apologize for my…assistant's behavior…" Damn myself for not being able to keep control around him. This unworthy of a von Karma's behavior!
Phoenix chuckled. "Um…thank you, but I don't think you needed to scare her off like that…"
But I had to! God knows what would happen if Kay stayed hugging you, that foolish wannabe thief…she would've kept this hunk to herself, had I not intervened when I did.
Franziska scoffed. "A foolish fool who foolishly gets distracted by a foolishly foolish man is foolishly a foolish fool…and that includes me." What am I doing? This…his gaze…it's making me say these words…why?
"Um, what?"
Phoenix felt his shirt being ripped open by a whip, exposing his bare chest to the world.
WHY DID MY WHIP DO THAT? I CAN'T CONTROL MY AR…OH GOD, HIS CHEST IS SO TONED! I CAN SEE EVERY MUSCLE ON HIS GOD OF A CHEST! I….I… Fransizka couldn't hold it anymore.
"HEY! WHAT TH-"
"So…tell me, you sexy…sexy…beast, you…"Franziska took off one of her gloves and traced her ungloved hand across Phoenix's chest with her nails. "You…work out often?" I give up…I tried…but his sexiness is overpowering me…damn you, you sexy god!
Phoenix couldn't believe it! He just couldn't believe it! Franziska von Karma, THE Franziska von Karma, the one who whipped his ass in court, literally after he won, kept whipping him afterwards, and is an all-around perfection queen, is actually FLIRTING with him! Either God is some sick bastard who enjoys screwing with Phoenix's life…
…or it's a miracle that's within 500 miracles, and even then it's not enough for a miracle.
But the bigger question is, what should Phoenix do? Should he:
Try to convince her that he's Phoenix (and get a face full of whip)
Play along and get her to leave so that he could investigate.
Plan A…nah, he wants to be injury free, so plan B!
"Heh…wouldn't you like to know…" He replied, putting on a smirk. DEAR GOD DON'T LET PEARL OR FERIS SEE THIS, ESPECIALLY FERIS!
"Oh, I do…I really, really do" Fransizka cooed. "Tell me…what're you doing around here? Trying to be a little…naughty?" She purred.
THIS IS SO NOT FRANZISKA! BUT I'M WORKING WITH IT! "Maybe…maybe not. I'm one of the detectives on this case. Special call from HQ. Name's Ryuuichi Naruhodou, but you, my kitten…" He lifted her chin with his finger. "…can call me Ryu…" His breath splashed all over Franziska's face. "You know, Ms. von Karma…flirting with a detective is a serious crime…and you can be punished…" His hand traced her whip. I'M SO GLAD THAT I WATCHED ALL THOSE ROMANCE MOVIES DURING THE TIME I WAS DISBARRED! But Ryuuichi Naruhodo? I've got to stop watching those japanese dramas...
Franziska eyed him touching her whip and didn't make a move to stop him. "Well…that's only on duty…but how about…off duty…Mr. Naruhodou…we can get a room, just you…" She yanked him closer and put a leg around his waist. "…me…whip cream, fruits and various…instruments for us to 'experiment' with. After all…" She licked his neck to his jawline. "I've been a very…very…very bad girl…" she purred.
Phoenix was stunned, but his brain did the talking for him. "Then…I suggest you let me do my job, Ms. von Karma. You can leave, and I'll pick up any…foolish things that your assistant may have overlooked. You can get ready for our…special night. After all…" He placed his lips near her neck and breathed. "…a von Karma is perfect, yes? Make tonight…perfect."
Franziska smirked. "Very well…Ryu. I shall do that. Please make sure that your body is as tone as it is now for tonight. I have some…exploring to do on you…" She released him and winked at him as she walked away, her hips swaying back and forth to entice him.
As soon as she was out of sight, Phoenix sighed a breath of relief and fixed himself up. "THAT was tiring, but it got the job done! I'm actually surprised that she didn't notice my new attorney badge and not ask about any I.D. Oh well, let's not look a gift horse in the mouth right now. Aside from the fact that I have to show up tonight with her…I'm just glad that I got her to leave! Now, let's see what we can find here."
It was then that he felt an aura of anger, shame…and disgust coming from behind him.
So he turned…only to see Feris, her hair wild and flowing all over the place.
Phoenix knew he was screwed. OH SHI- "Um…Feris, sweetie? Daddy didn't mean to do that! It was an act!"
Feris took out a taser. "…" Her voice was demonic.
Phoenix gulped. It was worse than Pearl's slaps.
"F…fukou da…"
His screams of pain could be heard back in the village.
Apollo barely made it to the Police Department in one piece.
"NEVER…AGAIN!" He panted. He was just chased by two love struck girls all the way to his job, while he was on a bike. God knows what they took to keep up with him at full speed.
Then again, Edgeworth ran alongside him being chased by Oldbag, and who could blame him. Apollo would run too, but he couldn't imagine being chased by an army of Oldbags that happen to equal up to 9,001 of them. He prayed that Edgeworth actually got away. Lord knows he needed it.
As for how he got away from Trucy and Pearl? Well, despite the fact that they're a magician and medium, respectively, they're still girls, and what distracts girls more than anything?
Clothes? Make-up? Boy Bands? Or all of the above.
Apollo thanked the gods that Klavier came when he did, though he did suspect that the girls would be here any minute, and the German rock star would be as well, no doubt giving them a ride.
"At times like these, I wish more women were like Ema…but then again…" He thought about how many of the world's women would be grumpy detectives using science for investigating, and throwing Snackoos at everyone and everything if they got annoyed. He shuddered at the thought. "…Maybe not…"
Sighing, he finally made it to the place he wanted to go: Ema Skye's office. After the Vera Misham case, the police department gave Ema a promotion to head detective, and she could choose her own personal assistant, and for some reason, she choose Apollo. It was anyone's guess as to why, but they just assumed that because they worked together on a few cases that they just naturally worked together.
But that was not the case.
Knocking on the door, Apollo announced his arrival. "Hey Ema! It's me, Apollo." He placed an ear on the door after a few seconds, knowing that she'd answer the door in a heartbeat. He knocked again, in case she didn't hear the first time. "Huh…must be out somewhere. I guess I'll go in and see if she needs to hand in anything." He said as he reached for his own key and proceeded to unlock the door.
Looking inside, he found that Ema was indeed out. "More than likely to go gather some more Snackoos" He concluded. "Oh well, time to see what needs to be taken out and what should be left alone." And so he began to gather what needed to be taken to the higher-ups.
"Let's see: report, report, report, memo, report, letter about a subscription to Scientists Weekly, report, diary entry about me, report, repo-wait…" He retracted back to what he put away. "A diary entry about me? Is this for real, or is the realization that I slept with my possibly pregnant sister getting to me?" He reached for the paper and wondered if he should even read it. "It looks tempting…but I shouldn't. This is Ema's stuff after all. She'd kill me if she found me reading her diary…but…" He looked back and forth, side to side, for any sign of Ema returning. "…this has gotten me curious. I mean, the only time a girl would write about a guy in her diary is if he means something to her, good or bad." With that, he began reading the page.
Dear diary, scientifically speaking,
I HATE THAT FOP! Today, he tried to make a pass towards me, and it was awful! Granted he does it every day, but this time, he tried to grope me! On the butt, no less! I gave him a Snackoo army just to send him away. Ugh…now I have to go home and shower extra hard…
But on another note, I dreamt about Apollo again. This has to be the 7th dream I had about him. This time, we were in the Bahamas, relaxing on the beach with our son and daughter. While the kids were playing, he leaned towards me and kissed me. I kissed back, then next thing I know, we're in the bed, clothes off, doing…THAT. To make it worse, I woke up with a…wet feeling. Obviously, it meant that I liked it, scientifically speaking, but I do wonder what it all means. Do I like Apollo or something? This has been going on ever since I met the guy, and every time we meet, it's always a new dream. It even surprised me that I chose him as my assistant when I got promoted, not that I didn't mind. He works with Mr. Wright and his daughter, Trucy, and I'm also sure that he sees that Vera girl as a girlfriend…
I think my heart is aching from saying that. Scientifically speaking, of course…
Anyway, I think I should try and make as minimal contact with him as possible. Oh crap, it looks like I'm out of Snackoos again. Gonna get some more and then write more in here. Later!
…scientifically speaking, of course.
Apollo's eyes widened as he read that entry. So, Ema has had dreams about him and her being together, and been having them since they met. Not only that, she absent mindedly made him her assistant and now decided to avoid him so that she couldn't have those dreams. So, in a nutshell…
Ema had feelings for him.
"This is…a crazy day. First my sister, then some random girl, and now Ema. Did something happen to make me attractive or something?" He questioned. "I think I'll wonder about that later, right now, I have to put this away and bring these reports to the higher-ups. They'd get grouchy if they don't have the reports in." Apollo remarked as he set down the entry to where it was and gathered the rest of the reports to hand in. "But this strikes me as odd. Usually, a diary page would be written in a notebook or a computer of some kind. Why is this page on a random piece of paper?" He questioned. "She knows that I come in everyday to gather her reports to take in, especially since I have my own key. It's as if..."
"I left it there for you to read, then the answer is yes, Apollo. I did."
He froze. That voice…oh crap…she's back… He turned to confirm if it was her…
…and indeed it was Ema Skye, his boss, standing in the doorway with a fresh bag of Snackoos and a blush on her face, her bangs covering her eyes.
"Ema! You're back! Uh…uh….uhm…I was just here, gathering your reports and nothing else!" He tried to explain, but he knew that she knows that he read that page. What a bold-face lie…
She closed the door slowly and locked it, then walked up to the desk and picked up the page that Apollo was reading. "….Apollo….don't lie to me…"
CRAP, SHE KNOWS! Well, duh, she knows. She walked in on you holding the page, dumbass. She's gonna kill me, I know it!
She finally looked up at him, the blush on her face red as day, with her eyes on the edge of tearing up. "…you think I'm weird, don't you?"
Apollo was preparing to get yelled and Snackoo'd to high heaven, but this was not at all what he expected. "…huh?"
Ema set down her things and walked up to Apollo, her eyes staying on his. "You…think it's weird, don't you? Me, having dreams about you…me choosing you as my assistant…and about that ever since I met you, I had these dreams… it's…almost as if I have feelings for you…but…I didn't want to creep you out…" She suddenly hugged him. "But…IT'S TOO MUCH! I couldn't hold these feelings in, and every time I think about you, I…I just don't know what to do with myself!"
Apollo blinked as Ema poured her feelings out to him. "Ema…"
"I know…you probably have a girlfriend right now, maybe that Vera chick, and here I am, telling you that I like you…You…probably think it's weird, right?" Ema's tears started flowing.
Apollo sighed as he gave her a hug back then released her. He looked into her eyes and found that she was being sincere about her feelings. "Ema…first of all, I don't have a girlfriend. Secondly, it's not weird at all. Surprising, yes, but not weird." He wiped her eyes, drying her tears. "This is just…so sudden. Today had been nothing but sudden confessions for me. But at least yours is…the most normal."
Ema nodded, not liking the confessions to him, but glad that he likes her the most.
He continued. "But that doesn't mean that I feel the same way…honestly. Currently, I'm trying to get my life together, what with my mother suddenly coming back and finding out that Trucy is my sister. While I do appreciate you coming to me with your feelings clean..." And good thing this is someone I actually know! "…I can't return the same feelings. Maybe in time…but not now." Way to go, dickhead. While you're running your mouth, why not go ahead and tell her that you prefer sleeping with your half-sister and risking knocking her up with a medium who'd kick your ass to kingdom come watching the act since she claims that I'm to marry her. THAT'LL show her how much I care… Apollo cursed himself as he talked. He was one that was never good with words, sadly, and he feared that his explanation would crush Ema's heart into fragments.
Ema sniffed and looked up at Apollo. "You…dork. You were never good with words, were you?" She said with sniffles.
Apollo nodded, sadly. "Sorry…I tried to cheer you up, though. Did it work, despite me sucking?"
Ema hugged Apollo again. "No…I….need one more thing for you to do…for me…"
Apollo nodded. "Sure. What is it?"
Ema leaned in and whispered into his ear her demands. Apollo's eyes widened and he backed up a bit.
"Ema….you…" he started. "You're….asking too much! I can't do that! Not to you!"
"But Apollo…I…I need this…" she begged. "Please…"
Apollo shook his head. "Ema…it's not right…I can't do that to you…I told you, I don't know wh-"
His words were cut off with a kiss on the lips from Ema, shocking the poor guy. As she released him, her lips lingered over his, and her eyes full of tears. "Apollo…please…" she whispered, her voice sounding desperate.
Apollo looked into her eyes for a minute, and sighed. "Ema…even if I don't want to…are you sure this will help? I want to be absolutely sure that we have everything we need for this to not bite us in the ass in the future." He warned.
She bit her lip and nodded, wishing that he'd just take the chance to have her.
With a final sigh, he nodded. "Alright then…let's do this." And began with a heated kiss…
…which led to lips being on places other than each other…
…and clothes being thrown about…
(With Klavier and the girls)
"Ok, Frauleins…while I do like taking you girls everywhere, this…"
"HE'S MINE, YOU MEDIUM REJECT!"
"HE'S MINE, YOU MAGICIAN WANNA-BE!"
"…is way too much for me to handle." Klavier replied as soon as they reached the department. Throughout the ride, he did not get a shred of silence due to Trucy and Pearl bickering for god knows how long about Apollo. He could've swore that the argument went like 'Apollo is this, Apollo is that, Apollo is the pinnacle of God reformed into a defense attorney, Apollo is hung like a horse, Apollo is etc, etc.' Honestly, the list wasn't even just a small note, let alone a paper. It could actually translate into 57 volumes, maybe more, about how Apollo was so god-like.
What they saw in him, Klavier would never know, and pretty much didn't want to know. All he knew was that 'Apollo better get them to calm down, and NOW!' Not that Klavier wasn't tired of girls hanging around him, screaming their heads off, but it was only if he was the topic.
But since Apollo isn't around (most likely avoiding them as much as he can, and the German rock star couldn't blame him, honestly), it was up to him to try and calm the two girls down.
If he could.
"HMPH! You're just jealous that I took Polly's virginity first, you slut! I bet that all you Feys want nothing more than to claim that you can summon dead people? What a load of BULL!"
"YOU TAKE THAT BACK! The Feys are a proud clan, and speaking of bull, what about you Gramaryes, huh? Magicians are SO overrated! Making things appear out of your panties, and you have the nerve to call ME a slut? Such a hypocrite!"
"At least Polly got into my panties, whore!"
"Yeah, after many others claimed the sour prize inside, ho!"
"YOU DID NOT JUST CALL ME A HO, YOU BITCH!"
"I DID, YOU BITCH! WHAT YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT?"
Trucy and Pearl were already ready to grab each other's throats and choke the shit out of each other. The insults and smart remarks were getting to the point that everyone within their radius was beginning to look their way. Some started gathering around the trio, others whispering that a fight was about to begin.
Klavier could practically feel the rage and envy radiating between the two women before him, and he felt that if he didn't stop them right now, someone would die…
…and it seemed that everyone would go with them.
So, deciding to brave the elements of female rage, he bravely, and quickly, reached for both girls' hands as they made contact with each other's throats and made a mad dash straight into the building and right into his office.
By the time that he got there and sat them down, they were still ready to destroy each other.
"PROSECUTOR GAVIN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Can't you see that I was about to teach this little girl a lesson in trying to take what's mine?" Trucy complained.
Pearl scoffed and glared at Trucy. "YOURS? You mean the poor man that you had to rape with what you can pass off as a decent vagina? First off, my darling Apollo would want someone who is pure, beautiful, and certainly NOT related to him. Second, YOU teach ME a lesson? I think too many screws must've made your mind screwed as well, because I'll kick your ass to the moon and back, 100 times over!"
"YOU WANNA GO NOW, BECAUSE SOMEONE'S ASKING FOR A GRAMARYE ASS-BEATDOWN!"
"TOUCH ME, AND I'LL BREAK EVERY BONE IN YOUR BODY, FEY STYLE!"
"WOULD YOU FRAULEINS CALM DOWN AND SHUT THE HELL UP?"
Both Trucy and Pearl froze at the venom in the yell, and turned to Klavier, who was seething with anger. Under his venomous glare, they cowered and huddled together in a corner, temporarily forgetting their previous fight about Apollo.
"ALL YOU TWO HAVE BEEN DOWN EVER SINCE I'VE PICKED YOU UP IS TALK ABOUT HOW GREAT HERR FOREHEAD IS, AND IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY! IT'S BEEN 'APOLLO THIS' AND 'APOLLO THAT', AND I'M STARTING TO GET SICK OF IT! I'M NOT NORMALLY ONE TO EXPLODE, BUT YOU TWO REALLY TAKE THE CAKE FOR THAT ONE!"
He stepped closer, towering over them as they cowered in fear. He calmed down a bit.
"Now…you two have two choices: either you make up, or I'm going to be the one who starts kicking ass in this office, and trust me…" His face got closer to theirs. "…you two won't want that…will you?"
The girls were too scared to answer at first, but Klavier asked again. "WILL YOU?"
They shook their heads like they would fall off. At this Klavier brightened again and smiled.
"Good! Now, I want you two to shake hands and make up…" His expression darkened again. "…and mean it. If I catch you two fighting again, consequences will be taken…" Then brightened, once again. "So, do we have a deal, Frauleins?"
They nodded, mostly in fear, and shook hands with each other, smiling big smiles.
"Now apologize…" Dark expression again.
"I'm sorry…Pearl, was it?" Trucy asked. Pearl nodded.
"I'm sorry too, Trucy…"
At this, Klavier's expression was all smiles again.
"Hooray! Frauleins are friends again, and we're at the department, so I guess everything worked out in the end! Now we need to find Herr Forehead and Fraulein Skye so that we can celebrate this newfound friendship between you two." He hugged them both and grinned. "They should be inside Fraulein Skye's office right now, so what do you say we go get them?"
At this, they heard a thumping noise.
"Um…did you guys hear that?" Trucy asked.
"You mean that thumping noise just now, yes." Pearl answered.
"Damn, Ema…I'm close….I…gotta pull out…"
"Is that….Herr Forehead's voice?" Klavier asked. "What does he mean by 'pull out"…oh…oh no…" His expression turned pale. He spotted the speaker hooked up in his office that linked directly to Ema's office, which was 7 floors up from his own.
The girls looked at him with confused looks, until they heard another voice.
"NO! Apollo, keep it in….ahh….let me have it all…ahn…"
"But….I'm not weari-"
"I DON'T CARE! YOU BETTER KEEP IT IN, APOLLO JUSTICE! LET ME HAVE IT ALL!"
"Arrrgh….EMA!"
"APOLLO!"
What Klavier was thinking at that moment was just transferred to Trucy and Pearl. The sounds of the two people, the words, the noises…
That could only mean one thing…
Not even thinking, all three made a dash towards Ema's office.
(In Ema's office)
"Damn it, Ema…why didn't you let me pull out?" Apollo asked, as he was searching for his clothes.
"Well, sorry! I was caught up in the moment. It felt so good…I wanted the whole package, you know?" Ema replied as she slipped on her underwear. "Scientifically speaking, of course."
Apollo sighed as he pulled on his boxers. "Well, you got that, and you even left your marks on me." He rubbed his neck, chest and arms, which all had red markings on them. His back was riddled with scrape marks that were red as well. "I just hope Mr. Wright and Trucy don't see these. They'll think that I have some sort of secret girlfriend on the side, and I'm not focusing on my duties as a defense attorney."
Ema looked at him and walked over to him. "Well…you know, Apollo…We DID just have sex right here…and I DO love you…maybe…you can make that come true?"
Apollo looked back at her. "Wait, make what come true? You being my secret girlfriend?"
Ema nodded.
Apollo sighed heavily before turning to her. "Look, Ema. I…I can't return your feelings. What we just did…um…this? Yeah, this was only to just make it so that you can move on. If anything, you should have me out your system right now. I-"
He was cut off by a powerful kiss from Ema, and sensed the passion within it. She released him, her lips lingering over his.
"Apollo…I can never get you out of my system now…you gave me what no man gave me before…and I don't care if you don't love me…just please…let me be with you…and I'll make you love me. Maybe not now…maybe not ever…but I can promise that I will try my best to do so…" She gave him another kiss.
"…scientifically, speaking, of course. " She winked at him. "So…what do you say?"
Apollo blinked and dropped his head. When Ema was focused on something, nothing could deter her from her goal, and today, her goal was his love. That to him, meant a few things.
She'd have competition with Trucy and Pearl for his heart, and knowing those girls' tempers and Ema's combined…he might as well write out his will right now, since someone could end up dead. Most likely him or one of the girls.
His life currently sucked right now.
"You know…Trucy and a girl named Pearl also love me as well." Apollo explained. "And from what I've seen, they have strength that can pretty much out-do science. Can you handle that?"
Ema gave a smirk and rested her forehead on Apollo's. You know, that fop was right. His forehead IS pretty big… "Don't worry…I'll blow them out of the water. But as for right now…" She placed another kiss on him, wanting the passion they had not too long ago back. To her surprise, she found him kissing back, his hands now roaming around her body. They could get in trouble if the reports were handed in late, and someone found them like this.
Screw those guys! I just got laid by Apollo Justice, and we're about to go for round 2, so they can kiss my ass. Scientifically and literally speaking, of course. Ema thought as she felt her bra being undone, but before it could fall to the floor…
"FRAULEIN! HERR FOREHEAD!"
"POLLY, NOOOO!"
"DARLING!"
Apollo and Ema both jumped up and looked at the door, broken down and three people stood where it once stood.
The shocked faces of Klavier Gavin, Trucy Wright and Peal Fey could not even fathom what they're witnessing right now.
Apollo Justice and Ema Skye, both half naked, making out with Ema's bra nearly falling off and the smell of sex filled the room.
Apollo's feared full expression and Ema's embarrassed busted one both had one thought in mind.
OH SHIT, WE'RE SCREWED!
Hikaru H.: Longest chapter to date, and one of the most fun to write, though it was hard trying to get everyone in here and involved. More than likely, like I said, not a lot of characters may be in here due to importance in the story.
(Kay Faraday suddenly appears behind Hikaru)
Kay: WHOA, HOLD UP! You mean that I may not get to see Gummy?
Hikaru H: Well...he MAY have a cameo, but that's about it. I'm not really fond of adding a lot of characters inside stories that won't pipe my interest in how they make the story how I want it to be, in my opinion.
Kay: Well…it IS a harem fic, so…I guess Gummy isn't the type to attract a lot of females, isn't he?
Hikaru H: No, he is not, Kay. But that reminds me, what are you doing here, anyway?
Kay: Well…seeing as how often you update your chapters and how long it takes for people to review…I've decided to become your partner! You know, to make your Author Notes exciting and stuff!
Hikaru H: Exciting? Like how, for example?
Kay: Well um…ummm….uh…..wait wait, gimma a sec…(thinking really hard)
Hikaru H: …..um…..you don't have to…it's fine, really…
Kay: DANG IT, WAIT! Hmmmmmmmmmm….I GOT IT!
Hikaru H: Yes?
Kay: You could do a short story about some of the characters! Just for laughs, you know?
Hikaru H: Hmm…(he ponders on his beard)…you…may have something there, Kay. Well done!
Kay: (grins like a monkey)
Hikaru: But…what can the first one be? And how often will these come? Not every chapter, I hope?
Kay: Aww, Hik! Don't sweat the small stuff! I got EVERYTHING under control. I have your first short story right here!
Hikaru H: You do?
Kay: Yep! Feast your eyes…on THIS!
Short Story 1: Pearl's First Kiss
It was an ordinary day at the Wright Law and Co. Offices. Phoenix was busy looking through his papers, waiting for Maya and Pearl to make their visit to him home. They would be arriving in about 10 minutes by cab, and would phone him as soon as they got to the train station.
While looking at a paper inside a folder, his cell phone began to ring. Looking at the ID of the caller, he smiled and answered with a hearty hello.
"Hello, Maya? Pearls?"
"Hey Nick! We're at the train station right now" Maya answered. "Can you come pick us up? Pearly accidentally lost our money on the train, so we can't take a cab."
Phoenix heard an 'I'm sorry, Mystic Maya…" from the background, most likely Pearl being sad over losing the money.
"Well… I have a lot of work…but sure. Give me 5 minutes, ok?" Phoenix replied.
"Sure thing, Nick! See you in 5!" Maya answered, before hanging up. Phoenix nodded and got to work finishing his files.
(Later at the station)
"Hey Maya! Pearls!" Nick called from the cab, waving to them both.
"Hey Nick! Glad to see you!" Maya called back as she and Pearl ran to the cab and hugged Phoenix, but not before Maya giving Phoenix a kiss on the cheek, and vice versa. Pearl naturally squealed at the affection.
"I knew it! Mr. Nick and Mystic Maya ARE special someones! You kissed and hugged each other! That's so romantic…" she sighed happily.
Suddenly, she felt a pair of lips on her cheek, and turned to see Phoenix's lips on her cheek. Her eyes widened and she stepped back a bit.
"Kisses on the cheek are not just for special someones, Pearls. They can be for friends and family as well." Phoenix smiled. "But just to clarify, me and Maya are NOT special someones, ok?"
SLAP!
Maya and the driver gasped at Phoenix getting slapped by Pearl, who covered his cheek in pain.
"MR. NICK! NOT ONLY DID YOU KISS SOMEONE OTHER THAN MYSTIC MAYA BUT YOU….you….."
Pearl started tearing up and ran inside the cab, crying her eyes out.
"YOU STOLE MY FIRST KISS! I HATE YOU, MR. NICK! WAAAAHHHHHH!"
Phoenix…was dumbfounded. He looked to Maya for an answer, who just shrugged and slowly got inside the cab and closed the door. Phoenix reluctantly got inside the passenger seat and closed his door. The driver looked at Phoenix covering his red cheek, then at Maya hugging a crying Pearl, and just sighed.
"You know…the drama will cost you an extra 1.50 for each minute that girl keeps crying." He said.
Phoenix just sighed as they drove to the office.
Kay: END! How was that, Hik?
Hikaru H: That was….interesting….to say the least. At least it's something…
Kay: Maybe next time, I can do something with me in it! Or Mr. Edgeworth! Or maybe even Gummy!
Hikaru H: Whoa, whoa, slow down, Kay. One at a time, alright?
Kay: Fine…but you will consider it, right?
Hikaru H: Well, it's something to past the time, so yeah, I guess.
Kay: Yay! Now to go conjure up more ideas for more short stories! TO THE KAY CAVE! (she runs somewhere…secret)
Hikaru H: (watches her go)…what a magic skirt…(blinks) oh yeah, read and review, guys. I'll…go follow Kay and make sure that her ideas are…sensible…(follows Kay)
