This chapter has me, the author, in it! Yayz! I've never really inserted myself in a fic before...

Days 20 and 21 will mostly be focusing on the adventures of Phoenix and Maya, but I'll make it up to the Mitsumei fans by making Days 22 and 23 mostly about Franziska and Edgeworth. Please enjoy!

"Ahhhh… Isn't this so odd, Nick?" Maya leaned back on the couch and sighed. "It's exactly 5 days until Christmas Day, and it doesn't even feel like it's gonna be Christmas."

Phoenix nodded and looked back at his iPad. "Yeah, I guess you're right…" He was browsing on the internet to see if there was possibly anything he could get her for Christmas that didn't cost too much. He was looking at anime stuff, and he found an anime store in Vegas called Anime Revolution. It was in Town Square.

"Maya, come over here…" He called Maya over to his side and showed her the website of the store. Her eyes widened at the name of the store, and immediately wanted to go there.

"Nick, let's go there. Like, right now." She didn't even let him say anything in this. He had just enough time to grab his wallet and jacket before she dragged him out of the hotel and grabbed a cab.

"To Town Square, please!"

The driver said that was a far ways off, and that they should probably take a bus instead. He said that it would cost less. Maya just shrugged her shoulders and said okay. Phoenix mentally sighed of relief.

They took the bus to Town Square, and found that it was a nice, outdoor shopping center. They took a map and tried to see where it was, but they got distracted along the way. They stopped by a burger shop called I Love Burgers, and they stopped by Yogurtland. Pretty soon, they actually went on a shopping spree. It wasn't really for clothing, but it was more of a food spree. Candy, chocolate, sub sandwiches, pretzels… you name it. They also stopped by the Apple Store. Maya begged for an iPod or anything to take home from there, but Phoenix slapped the hope out of her by blatantly stating "no".

Phoenix and Maya finally arrived at Anime Revolution, where they found dozens of people – of all ages – looking at the merchandise and taking pictures with the cosplayers. They mostly observed that school girls in uniforms were looking at the manga or the cute cat ears. Maya walked up to two girls that looked like the age of 12 in very preppy uniforms. Phoenix identified them as Challenger uniforms. They were arguing about something – it seemed like the DVD in one of their hands' with the title of "Fullmetal Alchemist."

"Look, I'm getting this today, okay? Plus, you're already getting an FMA DVD from Gabby!"

"Uh, no, I'm not. She's getting me an FMA: Brotherhood DVD, not FMA."

"Ugh! Taz…"

"Um, excuse me…?"

The two girls snapped out of their argument and turned to look at Maya, who smiled.

"Um, hello! I was just wondering if you know where the Steel Samurai stuff is…?"

One of the girls nodded and pointed to a shelf in the far corner of the store. "Yup! It's right back there. I love the Steel Samurai series, ESPECIALLY the Pink Princess. It's just too bad that this store doesn't have much merchandise on it." The girl smiled and held out her hand. "Oh! I should probably introduce myself. My name's S––––, but you can just call me Shai."

The other girl smiled too and held out her hand. "My name's T–––––, but you can just call me Taz."

Maya smiled back and shook both of the girls' hands. "Well, hello, Shai and Taz! My name's Maya!"

Shai clapped her hands and pointed at Maya. "I knew it! I knew you looked familiar! You're Maya Fey, right?"

Maya looked taken aback and nodded slowly. "Y-Yes… How did you know my full name…?"

Phoenix knew this was going to get a little creepy and maybe a little scary, so he stepped in. "Uh, your name was Shai, right? Well, Shai, I don't know how you got Maya's full name but-"

Taz gasped and pointed at Phoenix. "And you're Phoenix Wright! Right… Wright?"

Phoenix looked shocked as Shai and Taz giggled with delight.

"H-How do you know my name? I never said it…"

Shai giggled again. "How could I not?! You're the amazing defense attorney Phoenix Wright, protégé to Mia Fey!"

Taz added, "And you're the amazing assistant-spirit medium Maya Fey, the loyal friend of Phoenix Wright! And possibly even more…"

Both girls giggled evilly, and Phoenix and Maya started getting scared. "Wh… What? How do you know so much about us?"

Shai put her hands in a thinking position, the exact same way Maya did so. "Didn't you know, Mr. Wright? You're the most famous thing alive! Well, with us, anyway. You're THE famous defense attorney who would strike fear into the hearts of the evil, and be the hero for the innocent! You have a whole video game franchise circling around your very life! A manga series started, too, and that was one of the reasons we came here; I wanted to read that first volume right away!"

She sighed. "Wow! I can't believe I'm meeting Mr. Wright and… Ms. Fey!" Shai giggled again. "Wow! I love how that rolls off my tongue!"

Maya turned red and waved her hands. "Oh, no, please don't call me that! That title is reserved for my sister; just call me Maya!" She gave a thumbs-up.

Taz's and Shai's eyes went wide. "You're… You're not kidding? We can call you Maya?" Both of the girls looked at each other and shrieked.

Taz asked shyly, "Umm… Maya, Mr. Wright… Can we have a picture with you?"

Maya nodded and said proudly, "Of course! C'mon, Nick! That includes you, too!" She violently motioned for him to come near and take a picture. Phoenix sighed, but he took a picture anyway; he liked having fangirls who genuinely appreciated his work.

They took several pictures, actually. After more drabbles and conversation, the pair left. Phoenix and Maya left without actually buying anything, but they both left satisfied. They made two girls' dreams come true when Shai and Taz met them.

The whole time this was happening, Miles and Franziska were just peacefully sitting at The Coffee Bean in Town Square, drinking tea and reading a book. Franziska sat close next to Miles, and were reading the same book: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Even though it was short, it was a good mystery/horror book, and they enjoyed reading it together.

"On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, 7 swans a-swimming, 6 geese a-laying, 5 golden rings… 4 calling birds, 3 French hens, 2 turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree."

I just finished reading Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and it's actually a really good book. For those who love classic literature, and don't mind having to spend a little bit of time analyzing the language, this book is a really good read. ESPECIALLY if you don't know what the story behind it is...
