Phoenix opened his eyes, and saw that Maya was already out of bed.

He groaned, "Maya, where are you now?"

She walked in front of him, and was already dressed.

She replied, "Nick, we've got to get back to the office! Pearly is probably scared to death!"

The attorney lugged himself out of the bed and got on his usual attorney's uniform and they both left.

As they boarded the train, Phoenix said, "Maya, what will happen next?"

She sat down across from him. "Well, Nick, I bet we will have another client before long. There's gotta be some case we have to take sometime," she commented.

The train soon sped off towards the law office.

Phoenix opened the door and found that Pearl was playing the Nintendo 1024.

Maya said, "I seems that you have been playing video games for a long time. I bet that you should take a rest for a while."

Pearl saved the game and shut the console down. Phoenix added, "Pearl could use some 'alone time' in the back room."

Before they could leave earshot, Pearl inquired, "Mystic Maya, was your outing with Mr. Nick romantic by chance?"

She replied, "Yes. It was."

Pearl cooed, "Oh, how cute is that! It turns out that Mr. Nick is your 'special someone'! You two were meant to be together!"

Phoenix clarified, "Pearl should seriously get some 'alone time', as in right now!"

Pearl's head sunk. She said, "Fine. I'll get let you two be together all alone! Then I'll be able to prove that Mr. Nick loves you, Mystic Maya!"

Pearl walked slowly away into the back room, and she was almost smiling.

Phoenix said, "I find it strange how these cases seem to pop up out of nowhere."

Maya agreed, "I see. You don't want to have another case on Christmas, do you?"

The attorney admitted, "Sort of. I just don't want to deal with such a thing over the holidays, when people should be happy."

Maya added, "We should prepare for two things; the first being that we should make a New Year's Resolution, and the second being that we shouldn't worry. A new case will show up sooner or later."

Phoenix replied, "It appears to make sense. I have already decided my New Year's Resolution."

Before he could say it, Maya interrupted, "Mine is to stop eating so many burgers! I should try to control my hunger!"

Phoenix slowly began, "Mine is to..."

There was only silence, and his voice trailed off into nowhere.

"love you even more."

She jumped into the air and let out a cry of joy.
Maya ripped the attorney off of his feet and into her arms.

She struggled to carry him over to the couch, where she sat down next to him.

Phoenix said, "Maya, I hope that this new year will be a good one."

Maya excitedly reported, "I hope so too!"

And so, Phoenix Wright's bundle of Christmas Calamity comes to an end. It seems that there is no end to the Wright legacy, and he (and Maya) will continue to solve cases in the new year. It almost makes us want the next installment of Phoenix Wright's court battling to arrive sooner. It appears that this statement holds true.

THE END
