"So, what exactly were you trying to achieve with that lighter?" Fulbright asked. "I mean, it was to expect that they would want to check it at some point, wasn't it?"
"Shut up." Phantom replied. " What's going to be today, stopping cat-fights or putting out a fire?"
"I've found in your wrongdoings list that when you were on fourth grade, you didn't go to the birthday party of one of your classmates."
"That probably was the excluded kid, and nobody went."
"You bully! We're going to make up for that right now!"
"How, may I ask?"
"Obviously. You're going to throw the best birthday party ever!"
"And for who's birthday?"
"Let's search in the database who's birthday is today. Woah, three hundred millions results. I'll put the filter on this city and then I'll select someone randomly. And the winner is...Myriam Scuttlebutt!"
"Not the most popular girl in town. It'll be difficult to find many people for that."
"You'll have to deal with it. First, let's find her friends! In justice we trust!"
The phantom and Fulbright flew to Themis Legal Academy's courtyard, where Hugh and Robin were talking.
"And he made them pay a new Chinese vase!" Robin shouted.
"Mouth-breathers." Hugh scoffed.
"Now posses one of them and get to work." Fulbright said.
The phantom entered Hugh and spoke: "By the way, about Myriam's birthday..."
"Where did that come from all of a sudden, maaaaaaaaaaaaan!? And we've already talked about it. The four of us are going to watch her favorite movie T-O-N-I-G-H-T."
"And that's okay, but it sounds too ordinary to me."
"Too ordinary?"
"Yes. Think about it. It's her first birthday with us. We have to make it special. We should throw a party for her. And not just a party, a first-class party."
"But we can't organize a party in a single day, maaaaaaaaaaaan!" Good point.
"Maybe it's an impossible task for common people, but for someone who can win an archery contest one-handed and without missing a mark, is piece of cake." Easily said than done.
"You know what? You're totally right! We have to give her the best party E-V-E-R. And I've just had an awesome idea, man!. We have to bring THE Klavier Gavin to it."
"And how exactly are we supposed to do so?"
"Leave it to me! We prosecutors are all buddies!" She ran away and started shouting even louder: "Party at Themis' courtyard tonight! 8 PM! With Klavier Gavin! Best party ever, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!" Wait, you can't decide everything on your own. Damn, now everybody will be waiting for Prosecutor Gavin and there's no way he's going to come. I have to do something.
The phantom left Hugh's body and flew fast towards the Prosecutor's Office. As he arrived, he saw a girl climbing up the wall and a man yelling at her from a window.
"Kay! Come here immediately and give me back my phone!"
"But I just want to see your contacts list, Mr. Edgeworth! What's the problem? You have a secret girlfriend you haven't talked me about or something?" Contacts list? That gives me an idea.
"Come here or I'll cut your salary!"
"What salary? You don't pay me. Having fun is my assignment, so just let me do it!" She kept climbing without listening to anymore of Edgeworth's scolding.
When she arrived to the rooftop, the phantom entered her body. Then he picked Edgeworth's phone and searched the contacts list until he found Prosecutor Gavin. After that, he picked Kay's phone and texted Gavin's number.
To: Unknown number
Hi.
From: Unknown number
Who are you?
To: Unknown number
That doesn't matter. All you need to know is that I know your phone number.
From: Unknown number
?
To: Unknown number
You're going to receive a request any time soon. You will accept it and you will fulfill it the best you can, or else your phone number will be leaked to the press.
And we also know where you live and where you work, so don't call the police unless you want to spend the rest of your life surrounded by stalker teenaged fangirls.
"What are you up to today, Faraday-dono?" The phantom turned to see Simon Blackquill. Damn it. Why him of all people?
"Hi..." Wait. I don't know what kind of relationship these two have. How should I call him? In this cases, is better to go with the basics."...Prosecutor Blackquill. What brings you to the rooftop?"
"My companion wanted to stretch his wings." Taka, who was flying around, perched on his shoulder. "Now answer my question. What are you doing with that phone?"
"Nothing important, really. It's my friend's birthday and I'm looking for a good place to buy a cake."
"Who's this friend?"
"Myriam Scutlebutt."
"Box Girl? I wasn't aware you two were friends." Neither was I, to be honest.
"So, do you know where to pick a good cake or something?"
"Actually, there was a fellow in the clink who used to be a master pastry chef."
"Cool! It's up to you bringing the cake to the party. 8 PM at Themis' courtyard. Bye! " He left jumping and running through the nearby rooftops. When he was far enough, he left Kay's body and came back to Hugh.
At the time of the party, there were lots of people at Themis' courtyard. In addition to Hugh, still possessed by the phantom, Robin, Juniper and a cardboard box, there were the Wright Anything Agency guys, lots of Gavin's fangirls, and some others men and women.
"So, Ema" Apollo Justice asked. " Are you friends with Myriam or have you come to see Prosecutor Gavin?"
"Screw the fop." A woman in bat lab replied. "Where's the cake?"
"That's it, pal!" A big man agreed. "It'll be nice to have something different from instant noodles for dinner."
"You've come here to have dinner for free!?"
"That sounds totally like Gumshoe." Phoenix Wright said.
"Nick!" Another man shouted. "It's been years since last time we met"
"Larry! What are you doing here?"
"Isn't it obvious? Where there's a gavinner, there are lots of hot and crazy fangirls." He gazed at Athena. "And talking about hot girls, aren't you going to introduce us?"
"She's eighteen, Larry..."
"But age is just a number, isn't it?"
"Totally!" Athena said. "I'm an adult, boss!"
"You've chosen the worst possible time to say that."
Meanwhile, Trucy Wright was onstage.
"I know you all are eager to Klavier Gavin!" She said. "But before the concert, enjoy the magic of Trucy Gramarye and the amazing Mr. Hat!" The fangirls started to boo her and throw their shoes at her. "Agh! Not heels, please! Okay, I'll prove my worth with the most incredible trick you have ever seen. Let's set this place ON FIRE!"
"Oh, no. Don't do that" Phoenix said.
Trucy pulled out a wooden stick and threw it up in the air. When it fell back, it was somehow afire. She repeated that with more sticks and started to juggle with them.
Then, Blackquill arrived, carrying a cake shaped like a box. When he saw Larry's arm around Athena, pulling her closer to him, he threw away the cake and reached for his sword.
"Put away your filthy hands from Athena, you malicious degenarate!"
Larry ran away and Blackquill ran after him. The cake stomped Trucy's face. She fell backwards and dropped one of the fiery sticks, which fell on top of the cardboard box. The fire consumed it completely, and when all the smoke was gone, there wasn't anything left.
"Wait, where's Myriam?" Juniper asked.
"So that's the great T-R-I-C-K? You've made her disappear?" Robin said. " That's awesome, maaaaaaaaaaaan!"
"Where's she, anyway?"
"I-I don't know." Trucy said, wiping the cake off her face.
"If you don't tell us her whereabouts, then it's a kidnapping, pal!" Gumshoe said. "Arrest her, Skye."
"As you wish." Ema replied, handcuffing Trucy.
"Apollo, do something!" Trucy shouted.
"Ema!" Apollo shouted. "Stop this!"
"We all knew this was bound to happen sooner or later, Apollo."
"Well, yeah, but..."
"Are you serious about this, Detective!?" Phoenix asked. "I can sue you for wrongful arrest."
"Thinking about it, what are you doing in a teenager's birthday party? That shouts suspicious, pal. Arrest him, too!"
"Wait, what!?"
After handcuffing Phoenix, the detectives put him and Trucy in the backseat of a police car and drove away. They've come in a police car?
Another police officer came and shouted: "Prosecutor Gavin, we've finally found the blackmailer! If you want to question her, I'll drive you to the detention center! Wait, where's my car!? It was here just a moment ago!"
"No problem." Gavin said. "We'll run there." They both left running and the fangirls army followed them.
Right after, the Kitaki family appeared.
"We've brought muffins!" Little Plum said, raising two bags full of muffins. Wocky and Big Wins were also carrying two bags each.
"Shame on you, Pointy-locks!" Wocky shouted. "You throw a party and you don't hire us for the catering!? You have a death wish!?"
"I'm not the one throwing the party." Apollo replied. "And I think the party is over."
"Over?" Big Wins asked. "But we've work so hard on these muffins...It would be such a waste if nobody ate them."
Apollo swallowed. "Athena, I think that plot hole you call stomach would come in handy right now."
"Sorry, Apollo, but the boss is going to need a lawyer and I'm the one to defend him!"
"Wait, Why you and not me?"
"Hmm...I know! The first to the detention center takes the case!" She ran away.
"Shoot! Always the same!" He yelled. The Kitaki family glared at him. He sat down and started eating muffins.
Suddenly, the phantom had a hunch. He picked up Hugh's phone.
Eight messages from Myriam Scuttlebut on the voicemail.
16:00:"I'm so happy to celebrate my birthday with you guys! I've even dropped my box at Themis' courtyard! I don't need it today!"
16:55:"Guys, we were coming to the 5 PM session, right? I mean, it's five minutes to 5 and none of you are here yet."
17:10:"Guys, where are you? The movie is starting. I hope you don't mind I've entered without you, I just love this movie."
19:20:"The movie just ended. Why didn't you come? Oh, I know! It's a surprise party, right? You're going to throw a party for me at my apartment!"
19:50:"Guys, are you hiding here? Well, no problem. I've always liked hide-and-seek."
20:30:"Guys, you can come out now. This is not funny anymore."
21:00:"You're still mad at me about what I wrote about you on the Themis Herald, aren't you? Is that, right? I'm so sorry. Please, forgive me! I'll do anything. You can come and pick on me all you want."
22:00:"Okay, I get it! So you don't want anything with me! Well, if you hate me, you could have just said it to my face! This is not going to end here! You've made a terrible enemy!"
I knew I was forgetting something.
"Want to know how's your good deeds account?" Fulbright asked, popping out of nowhere.
"No. I'd rather not to."
And thus the phantom learnt the true meaning of friendship.
A/N: I've been thinking that you could make a videogame from this story: Help the phantom to make good deeds. You can possess the other characters to use each one's special abilities (pickpocketing for Kay for example). I've been also thinking that I think way too many random things.
