R&R!
Reborn
Phoenix Wright watched as his best friend, Larry Butz ate away his hospital food, with the lawyer only watching as his friend attacked the food with the fork. "It's not like I don't like to share, Larry, but…" the lawyer began, only to be ignored by the eating monster. "LARRY!!" Phoenix cried, trying to get the attention of the other man. Larry turned and faced his friend, his mouth stuffed with food.
"Munch…munch…wa?" Larry asked, looking back at his friend with a mouth full of potato and chicken. Phoenix looked at him, and then sighed.
"…never mind."
"Larry Butz! Put that fork down now, this instant!" Both friends turned around and spotted Karen on the doorway, tapping her foot angrily at the floor. Larry jumped, quickly putting the plate and fork back on the tray that sat close to the hospital bed.
"Braby!!" Larry called, with a mouthful. He ran towards Karen, only to be stopped by the latter with a hand.
"Don't baby me! You knew that food was for Phoenix, Larry! Boy, what would I do with you?"
"Rove mre, braby!!" he cried again, full of food.
"Well, Karen, look at the bright side, if he chokes it would be enough of a lesson for him," Phoenix told her, laughing.
"Would it, now?" Karen nodded, laughing with him.
"What now, sweetheart? Wanna get your man killed?" Larry asked her sweetly, his mouth finally free of food.
"You mean fat man if you keep on stealing our patient's food," Karen told him, shaking her head. She turned back to Phoenix. "So, leaving the food talk aside," she said this as she was looking at Larry, "how are you doing? All fine, stomach empty I suppose." Phoenix nodded.
"Can't complain."
"Well, that's good to hear, because, you have visitors!" Phoenix looked back at her, confused, and it was the only look he gave Karen, as Maya and Pearl ran past her towards the bed were Phoenix lay, both jumped towards him and hugged him. "OW! MAYA! PEARLS!!"
"Mr. Nick! Mr. Nick!!" Pearls cried in his arms. "WAAAHHH!! WAAAHHH!!"
"There, there, Pearly. I told you Nick is like a stone! Hard to break and carry!!"
"Hard to break, alright, but to carry?" Pheonix asked her, confused. Maya shrugged.
"Hey, I needed to cheer Pearly up, so I thought of that!"
"….you know, I could have sworn you were making fun of me…" Maya smiled, innocently.
"Come on, Nick! Why would I?" Pearls looked back at the lawyer, staring back at him with an angry stare.
"Mr. Nick, how could you!? After Mystic Maya worried sick for you!" Phoenix opened his mouth.
"Now, I'm the bad guy?"
"Let's hope not anymore," a voice told him, making everyone turn around. Derek Stiles and Angie Thompson were standing in the doorway, behind them was Mark Othello. "Glad to see you're awake." Phoenix nodded back at Dr. Stiles, smiling.
"Glad to be awake in the first place, Derek."
"Well, you wouldn't be the first," Othello told him, as he went over to check on him. "the last two patients of Kardia are up and running. Thanks to you, of course."
"Well, glad I was of help…" Phoenix nodded, then added jokingly, "no prize?" The older doctor laughed.
"No prize, I'm afraid," he told him.
"What!? Had you not operated on him no one would have cured this thing!? No sickness with his name at least? What a rip-off!!" Larry told them, shaking his head. Maya thought about it for a while.
"The sickness of the Phoenix? No, that wouldn't have sounded right…"
"No, it wouldn't have." Phoenix answered, shaking his head at Larry.
"Well, you might not have a disease named after you, but at least you have your life." Derek said, nodding.
"Yeah, I wouldn't know how to thank you guys, and that other doctor, Niguel, was it?"
"Sent him a card." Angie said, rolling her eyes. "He's probably sealed inside his lab at this time; wouldn't want to see anyone, not even you."
"And on the thank us part, don't worry," Derek told him. "We were just doing our job."
"But still…"
"Hey, I got an idea!" Maya blurted out, excitedly. "If you guys ever need a lawyer, you got one here with Nick! For free!!"
"You guys really don't have to do it," Derek told them, Phoenix only shrugged.
"Don't worry to take the thanks," he told him. "it's not like I ever charge, anyway." And then, the room roared in laughter.
