Author's note: Trucy and her date! Enjoy!

14 Phoenix Wright: Ace Father

Phoenix rushed out the door and jumped on his bike. Maya stood in the doorway.

"Nick! Wait up!" Maya said waving. He was already gone. Pearl looked up and Maya.

"Did Magic Trucy do something wrong?" Pearl said.

"No Pearly." Maya reassured placing her hand on her hand. "Nick is just really protective of Trucy. Now come on before Nick does something stupid." she said grabbing Pearls hand and running out the door.

Phoenix ran into People Park. He sprinted through the park looking around. He didn't see her anywhere. He sat down on a bench. He soon heard a familiar voice. He looked up to see Trucy talking loudly to a guy she was holding hands with. Trucy looked completely different. She was wearing black shorts with a blue blouse and her hair in a pony tail. Phoenix furrowed his brow as he observed the boy. He was wearing a pair of black dress slacks with a bright red Hawaiian shirt. The boy laughed at what she was saying and wrapped his arm around her waist. She giggled. Phoenix sat up and walked over to them. Trucy noticed him.

"Hey daddy!" she said waving. He frowned. "What are you doing here?"

"I was just in the area..." he said. Trucy shook her head.

"Really daddy? That's a terrible lie."

"OK Pearl told me where you were so I came over." he admitted. The guy just watched the two of them go back and forth.

"Why?"

"I'm a concerned father sorry." he said becoming serious.

"Well alright." she said thinking. "Well daddy this is my boyfriend." she said presenting the guy.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Wright." he said warmly.

"Trucy were leaving." Phoenix said coldly. He was very protective when it came to Trucy and boys. He had never had much to worry about however until now. Trucy mouthed 'I'm sorry' as they walked away.

"HOLD IT!"

Phoenix turned to the boy.

"Now if you are intending to prosecute my client." he said holding Trucy's hand as she moved to his side. "Then I must know the charges in order to defend my client and myself."

"Is this a trial?" Phoenix asked smiling.

"It's whatever it needs to be." he said looking into Phoenix's eyes.

"Are you studying law?" Phoenix asked raising his brow.

"Yes I am." he stated.

"How are old are you?" Phoenix asked becoming very concerned.

"Just sixteen. I hope to become a lawyer at an early age."

"And you are willing to fight a veteran attorney in a mock trial in order to continue to date his daughter?"

"If it is necessary." he said not backing down.

"Do you care for my daughter?" he said becoming very serious.

"Yes." he stated staring at Phoenix. Phoenix smiled.

"Alright then." he sighed with relief. His Magatama rested in his palm. "Phoenix Wright." he said shaking the young man's hand.

"Chris Hughes." he said smiling.

"Are prosecutor Hughes' son?"

"No He's my uncle."

"Oh OK." Phoenix was glad he didn't have to meet with that crazy guy again. "How long have you two been dating?"

"About a week." Trucy answered finally being a part of this conversation about her.

"What!? really?"

"Yep." she said smiling bouncing on her toes. "What's wrong daddy?"

"I was just a little surprised that's all. Well I leave you two to your date. Sorry to bother you." he said going out of the park. Maya ran up to him and grabbed him.

"NICK! STOP! Don't do anything crazy." she said attempting to calm him down. Oblivious of the actual events.

"Maya everything's fine look." he said pointing to the couple on the bench Trucy had her head rested on his shoulder.

"AWW young love." Maya and Pearl said at the same time.

"Now let's get home, you and I have some unfinished business." he said whispering in Maya's ear.

"I'm sorry about my dad." she said looking up at him.

"It's OK he meant well." he said.

"I'm glad we are a couple." she said hugging him.

"Me too Truce."

She remembered when they first met.

Two Weeks Ago

Chris sat in a cafe looking over old case files. A girl walked in wearing a magician's costume. She looked very cute and he was intrigued by her.

"Hello." he said waving.

"HI!" she said waving. He's cute! She purchased her coffee and walked over to him."Do you mind if I sit here?" she said smiling.

"By all means." he smirked gesturing to the empty seat. She noticed his papers sitting down.

"What are you reading?" she asked intrigued.

"Oh just some legal stuff." he said catching himself staring at her eyes. Their eyes locked again. She turned away blushing.

"So are you a lawyer?" she asked nervously.

"No but I'm studying to become one."

"That sounds neat." she beamed.

"Yea...i guess it is." he said smiling becoming red.

"So are you a magician?" he said eying her costume.

"Yes I am!" she smiled. He chuckled at her excitement.

"That's really cool actually I love magic."

"I'm Trucy" she said extending a hand.

"Chris." he said shaking her hand. They sat talking for hours about everything from magic and law to the Steel Samurai and cats. He looked at his watch and stood up.

"I have to go, sorry." he said frowning. He really didn't want to go.

"Well OK." she said disappointed.

"Well can I have your cell phone number and maybe we can get some lunch or something some day?" he asked shyly.

"Sure!" she said scribbling it on a napkin. "There you go!"

"I'll call you later. Bye Trucy." he said exiting.

"Bye Chris!" she called after him. Trucy raced to an apartment. She burst through the door.

"Trucy? What are you doing here?" Ema asked as she stood up.

"I need some advice." she admitted.

"About?"

"Boys"

"Oh." Ema said surprised. "Well sit down let's talk." she said gesturing to the couch. Ema made tea and they sat down.

"OK what's the problem."

"Well...there's this guy I met and I like him."

"So?"

"So I don't know what to do!"

"Just tell me what happened." Trucy explained the events and Ema smiled.

"He said he's call you it seems like this guy likes you too, just be patient that's all."

"Thanks Ema." she said hugging her.

"Just curious why did you come to me with this?"

"Well I didn't want to tell Maya cause she'd tell daddy and also you and Polly like each other right?"

"Um...no that's.. not true..." Ema said becoming flushed.

"Well don't wait until it's too late." Trucy getting up to leave.

Present

Pearl scoured Trucy's room looking for her diary. She couldn't find it anywhere. She grabbed a crumpled piece of paper and crayon.

I'm so happy for everybody! MR. Nick and Maya are together,Mr. Polly has ms. Scientist, and now Trucy and Chris are special someones. This is great. I th

Pearl's head hit Trucy's pillow and she passed out exhausted. She slept all night smiling.
