Larry, Phoenix and Maya continued talking for a while until eventually, Larry glanced at his watch and gasped.

"I've just realised!" He said. "I'm running late - I was planning to take Cassandra out for tea! It was great bumping into you though - we should meet up at some point, Nick! We could even try and drag Edgey out with us!"

"Sounds cool!" Smiled Phoenix. "But I reckon it'll be difficult to persuade Edgeworth to come with us!"

"I dunno," said Larry as he was beginning to leave. "Maybe he'll agree if we take him to a Steel Samurai marathon!"

Phoenix and Maya continued to walk in silence, both of them deep in thought. After a while, the silence was broken again as Maya started talking.

"Quite a story," said Maya, obviously referring to what Larry and Phoenix had just told her about. "I can't believe that you kept it quiet for so long!"

"Well, knowing what Edgeworth is like, being a fan of the Steel Samurai is not something that he would want broadcasting to everyone!" Laughed Phoenix.

"He should be proud to be a fan!" Gasped Maya in shock and disappointment.

"He's just not that guy!" Said Phoenix.

Hesitantly, Maya seemed to drop the issue, and as they walked, they continued to talk about the case. Suddenly, without any warning, Maya stopped walking and looked at the other side of the street.

"Is... is that Mr Edgeworth?" Maya asked, nodding towards a figure a distance away from them.

"It certainly looks like him," said Phoenix, looking in the same direction that Maya seemed to be looking at.

"Well, if you're not going to let me ask him in court..." Grinned Maya mischievously.

Beginning to understand what Maya was going to ask him, Phoenix tried to grab her wrist but missed. Before Phoenix knew it, Maya had run off at top speed with Phoenix running after her.

"Maya! Come back!" Called Phoenix.

"Mr Edgeworth! Hey! Mr Edgeworth!" Yelled Maya, sprinting after Edgeworth.

Edgeworth stopped and turned around to find Maya stood in front of him with Phoenix catching up with her.

"Good morning, Miss Fey," said Edgeworth. He nodded stiffly at Phoenix. "Wright."

"Hey Edgeworth," said Phoenix, still panting slightly.

"Is there anything of particular urgency that you need that cannot wait until tomorrow?" Edgeworth sighed.

"Actually -" Maya began.

Knowing exactly where this conversation was going to end up and what Edgeworth's reaction would probably be, Phoenix decided to try and jump in.

"Actually, she's completely forgotten, and we don't need anything!" Interrupted Phoenix.

Narrowing his eyes suspiciously, Edgeworth backed away. Suddenly, he heard Maya's voice behind him.

"What are you talking about? Of course I can remember what I am talking about!" Exclaimed Maya. "Edgeworth, come back!"

Sighing, Edgeworth returned, trying to ignore the look of dread on Phoenix's face. Edgeworth raised his eyebrows, wondering what Maya possibly could have wanted.

"Well, we came to see you in your office earlier, but you were away, so we went to leave, but before we left, we spotted something really strange," Maya began.

"Yes?" Edgeworth replied. "And what is this 'thing' in my office that is so strange?"

"Well," continued Maya, pausing for breath. "It's a Steel Samurai figure. On your windowsill."

Edgeworth's mouth fell open and Phoenix shifted uncomfortably from side to side. He could tell that Edgeworth was searching for an excuse.

"That's... not a Steel Samurai figure," Edgeworth lied.

"What? Yes it is!" Exclaimed Maya, visibly confused. "I'm the world's biggest Steel Samurai fan, so I should know!"

Edgeworth felt himself become redder and redder in the face as he quickly turned around and walked off, knowing that he was walking faster and faster with every step. Suddenly, after hearing footsteps behind him, Maya leapt in front of him with Phoenix standing next to her.

"Are you just like me? Do you like the Steel Samurai too?" Asked Maya.

"No," Growled Edgeworth through gritted teeth, glaring not only at Maya, but at Phoenix too.

"What are you glaring at me for?" Questioned Phoenix. "I've said nothing!"

"That's right!" Nodded Maya. "You should be grateful to Nick! He was the one who introduced you to the Steel Samurai! Right? You know, with that comic?"

Edgeworth's eyes widened as he remembered that day and realised that Maya was right. How could he forget?

"She's right, Edgeworth!" Laughed Phoenix. "You were supposed to borrow that comic! It's been 14 years, and I still haven't got it back!
