I hope you guys like the story so far! Some of you seem to, but the rest, I'm not sure. I like to know what you, the readers, think. Is it good, it is bad, does it need work (I bet it's that last one)? Are my characterizations lacking, inaccurate, etc.? I'm 100% open to constructive criticism and welcome it with open arms, and you can be brutal. I've handled brutal before (although I'd appreciate it if there were no downright flames).

Chapter 10 – Turnabout Fan girls and boy

Edgeworth found himself standing at the front of the Wright Anything Agency. He hadn't visited the office in a while. He was trying to go out and be a bit more sociable, especially after having reprimanded so many people in his bitter mood a couple of weeks ago.

He entered the agency's waiting room after knocking three times. It would seem that they have another visitor here.

The figure turned around upon hearing the door open. "Oh. Ms. Sterling. I wasn't expecting to see you here."

She nodded her head, a smile on her face. "Hello Mr. Edgeworth. I just came to return something to Maya."

Maya ran into the room before gasping. "Hey! Mr. Edgeworth! I didn't expect to see you! What are you doing here?"

"Just thought I would come by and visit."

Maya held her hands in front of her and bowed. "Thank you for coming! It's nice to see you going out more!" She frowned. "I heard about what…happened with…you know. I'm sorry for your loss."

The Chief Prosecutor had an annoyed look pass across his features. "It's in the past now. No point in grieving over it."

"Of course you would say that, Mr. Edgeworth. Always so aloof." She turned to Serena. "I can't believe you watched the whole second season in one day! That's almost as much as I can watch! You really like it, don't you? I mean, of course you do! Who doesn't love the Steel Samurai?! Oh well, I guess Nick isn't a huge fan, but that's because he's just a grumpy old man."

Steel…Samurai? This caught his interest. The prosecutor glanced over at the doctor. "You…watch the Steel Samurai, Ms. Sterling?"

She scratched her forehead, brushing a couple of strands of hair behind her ear, an embarrassed smile on her face. "Er…I just…watched it to see what all of the hubbub was about, that's all. You know, keeping up with society."

"Yeah, that's what you said when you saw the first episode!" Maya intervened. She then spoke to Edgeworth. "She finished the whole second season last night, Mr. Edgeworth! She borrowed it from me yesterday afternoon!" Maya recalled how that day went. The doctor had come in to check in on how everyone was doing.

One week ago…

Serena and Iris were talking to each other when Maya came in with her Steel Samurai DVD.

"Hey Iris! You want to watch the Steel Samurai with me?" She waved the DVD around.

"Oh, I can't, Maya. I'm sorry. I have to head down to the university today." With that, Iris left the agency.

"How about you? You want to watch the Steel Samurai with me? It's the one hour special!" Maya didn't know Serena that well, but she was willing to watch with pretty much anyone who was willing to accompany her.

"Thank you for the offer, but I'm afraid I don't really have much time to watch it right now. Besides, I haven't even watched the first episode."

"Oh...but you have seen the Steel Samurai before, right? Wait. Dumb question. Of course you have!"

"Well, I've heard of the show, but I've never watched it before." Serena noticed that Phoenix, who had come out of his office, was waving his hands and shaking his head frantically behind Maya before she answered the question. She couldn't understand what the message was that he was trying to convey.

The doctor was not prepared for Maya's outrageous reaction. The Master of Kurain gaped at her, eyes bulging out from their sockets. "WHAAAAAAT?! You've

never seen the Steel Samurai?! What planet do you live on? Pluto?!"

Serena took a step back at hearing Maya holler at her. She blinked a few times. "Well, technically, Pluto's not a pl-"

"Here!" Maya grabbed a DVD and shoved it into Serena's hand. "This has the first Steel Samurai season on it. You

have to watch it and tell me what you think!"

"Maya. Don't force it on her."

"No, no! She has to watch it, Nick, and see what she's missing out on! For you not to have seen an episode of the Steel Samurai…that is an injustice of epic proportions, practically a crime! And as a devoted Steel Samurai fan, I must fix it!"

"Maya. If she doesn't want to watch, she doesn't have to! I don't blame her. It's just an overrated kid's sho-"

"She only needs to watch one episode, and she'll be hooked! And The Steel Samurai is not an overrated kid's show, Nick! It's..."

The two of them went all out in an argument as the doctor just watched them, unable to interfere.

The argument had escalated in a matter of minutes. "Like seriously! One day, that movie poster is going to go bye-bye, and I'm going to put that Steel Samurai poster in its place! It should've been there a long time ago!"

"You do that, and I'll never let you step foot in this office again!"

"Hey! This place used to be my sister's.

My sister, Mia Fey, meaning I, Maya Fey, her younger sister, can do whatever I want here!"

"Go outside and read the sign above the building. It's called the Wright Anything Agency!

Wright, as in Phoenix Wright, the owner. Me!" Phoenix jabbed a finger into his chest, ignoring the pain.

"Um...Mr. Wright? Maya?"

"What?!" They snapped at her.

"I...think I could find some time to watch this," Serena offered, eyeing the tape before smiling weakly. "Thanks Maya."

Maya instantly brightened. "Oh don't thank me now. Thank me after you watch it and become a major fan girl like me!" She turned to Phoenix, smiling victoriously. "Ha! See? I convinced her!"

The spirit medium finished the story in a matter of minutes. Serena was turning bright red. Rubbing her arm, she knew she had to come up with some kind of justification for having watched the entire second season in one day. "You see…I didn't have work yesterday, and I was suffering from a bout of insomnia, so…I just figured I could watch some of the episodes, is all."

"Aw, come on! You can admit you like it, Serena! Mr. Edgeworth here loves the Steel Samurai. Don't you?"

"You…do?"

Both women had his eyes on him, one pair surprised and the other teasing. Now it was his turn to be almost flustered. Almost. He was able to maintain an air of nonchalance though, not that that was difficult for him. "I never said I loved it. I've just heard that it was a good show…with high production values…and may have happened to have watched an episode or two. For the very same reason Ms. Sterling cited. To see what the…hubbub…was all about."

Maya was not convinced. "Mmhm. Whatever you say, Mr. Edgeworth. Because that totally explains why you still have that Steel Samurai figurine from Ms. Oldbag in your office after all these years."

Ngh…Everyone just has to bring that up, don't they? "Well, it would be downright rude if I was to get rid of such a nice gift, despite who may have been its sender." Or what her intentions were.

"Oh really? So what about when you asked Mr. Powers for his autograph? Or how you were star struck when you met the Steel Samurai and got an autograph from him, only to find out that it was actually Larry, and you became totally ups-"

"You know? I really should be going. I have much work to get done at the office. Good day, both of you." With that, he left the office in a rush. Just how did she find out about…Larry. Of course it was him. Hmph. That's the last time I'll ever drop by for a visit.

Maya stared at the door before continuing the conversation with Serena. "That's Mr. Edgeworth for you. He'll never openly admit that he likes the Steel Samurai. I'm pretty sure he's a rabid fan boy though, especially with what I've heard from Detective Gumshoe."

Serena just laughed politely. "Well, I certainly don't blame him for wanting to hide that. We've all got our guilty pleasures, don't we?"

Maya quirked an eyebrow, an impish smile appearing on her face. "Is that so? Well then." She leaned closer. "What's your guilty pleasure?"

"Oh goodness! Look at the time! I need to go to the ER! See you later, Maya! And thanks for letting me borrow your tapes!"

Maya watched as the woman vacated the office. Hm… She thought about the prosecutor who had left. Hmmm… Then Serena came into mind next. Hmmmmm…Something's start to cook in my brain. Something good. Like burgers… "Oh! I better ask Nick if we can have burgers for lunch! Maybe some steak for dinner! And some delicious cake and ice cream for dessert. Mmm! My stomachs are going to be so happy!"

Honestly, I wrote this chapter just to address Edgeworth being a fan of the Steel Samurai. (I personally don't think he's a rabid fan boy, but I'd be lying if I said he wasn't a fan at all. That's canon.) Feel free to leave a review or private message me! The next chapter will be the magic show!
