This was requested by a faithful and awesome reader, Prophet Mustache, quite some time ago, but I did it with my own twist! I hope it came out really good for you!


The pace in the office was rather slow. 'Surprisingly really!' Athena thought.

There was always something to do in the office. Organizing Trucy's magic props, organizing the previous court record files, cleaning her desk, morning ritual 'Chords of Steel' practice with Apollo: "I'm FINE!" Cleaning the toilet, checking her email, and even her yoga stances. But everything was complete. Sparkly clean and organized, the office was. Athena would consider this grand and relief from the usual hecticism, but her eagerness turned eventually to anxiety with nothing productive to do. She scurried down the hall to Apollo's office to see if he were in. Opening the door revealed his absence. Partially dumbfounded, she walked to her boss's usual spot.

"Boss?" Athena inquired. "Where is Apollo?"

Mr. Wright looked up at his employee, comforting her with a smile, "Apollo and Trucy went out to advertise for the 'Wright Anything Agency' and look for potential clients."

"What?!" Athena yelled angrily, her hands gripping into fists, "They went without me?!"

Phoenix was slightly taken aback by her outburst. "They said they didn't want to bother you. You seemed busy with your own office space."

She replied with a groan. "I wasn't that busy, Mr. Wright. I was actually trying to find something to occupy myself."

Wright replied with a hearty laugh. "One day the office gets all of its chores done and you don't find a way to relax."

She settled herself onto the couch. She could call Apollo and Trucy to see where they are, but by time she would probably catch up, they would be arriving back to the office.

"Don't take it too much to heart, Athena." He said comfortingly. "Maybe next time they'll take you. No doubt with you and Trucy there, a client is definite to appear."

"Thanks boss." She said happily. "I know much about heart." She clicked Widget, bringing the blue holographic screen in front of her.

"Me too." Phoenix took out his magatama, staring at the jade jewel in his hands.

Several slides and browsing her email for the third time came to a halt as she eyed her boss, staring down at the strange green ornament. "Boss, what is that?"

Phoenix looked up to Athena's face, chiseled with curiosity. "This old thing? Was from a great friend. One day you'll meet her."

Athena walked up to Mr. Wright, eyeing the piece with interest, "It must be very special."

"Yes. It is. It let's me see the secret within one's heart." He grinned.

"Wait…" Athena glanced at him oddly. "What do you mean you can see the secret's within people's hearts?"

Phoenix looked at his younger cohort smugly. "I can see the secret's within one's heart in the form of locks. Though, only the beholder can see the locks."

The yellow attorney had a hard time keeping up, "how is that even possible? Is this some sort of magic trick?"

Mr. Wright could only laugh at her confusion. "Far from it, Athena. This prized possession has been with me for years. Think of it as a lie detector… except much more complicated…"

Athena was intrigued. 'A sort of lie detector?!' She could feel the heat of excitement unraveling her chest. Widget was flashing between green and yellow, and turning slowly to pink. "So you can see into people's hearts too, Mr. Wright?!"

"I sure can." His face downward, but with a smug grin plastered right onto it.

"Wow!" She hopped, Widget became brighter in color. "We're not that different then! Boss and cohort… ergh…no… I got it! ...Lawyers of the Courthouse and of the Heart!"

"That sounds better." Mr. Wright piqued. "Just don't let it get to your head now."

"I'll try not too!" She smiled, flashing her signature peace sign. The gadget wrapped around Athena's neck stared at the green nine shaped crystal in Wright's hand. Widget kept buzzing and buzzing, almost vibrating violently against her neck. The yellow attorney finally took notice. "...! Widget!"

Widget was displaying extreme shades of pink and green. Hearts displaying over the eyes in it's face. "Do I have any new messages?"

The gadget chimed, which can be described as an contented hum, "Love!"

Athena's face reddened to a beet, emitting the heat of Mount Saint Helen's lava. Phoenix's eyes almost bugged out of their sockets as he heard the gadget repeat itself, "LOVE!"

"WIDGET!" Athena screamed. The embarrassment spread as she eyed her boss, as if he saw a bomb in front of his face. "M-M-Mister W-Wright! This is some sort of mistake!"

"Love… Love! LOVE!" The contraption kept screaming in its mechanical voice.

Phoenix remained frozen as he saw his employee almost trying to tug the thing off her neck. "Widget, stop!"

"NO!"

The mechanical voice sounded angry, flashing her with red. It began tugging her, pulling her by the neck towards Mr. Wright. "WHAT'S GOING-!"

The yellow attorney was almost being dragged by some invisible force, causing her be thrown right towards her boss. Mr. Wright barely had time to register what was happening, reflexively throwing his arms upward as she collided against him, causing them to topple over the desk.

"Love!" Widget sounded extremely passionate despite the dull robotic voice. Athena found herself splayed on top of Mr. Wright, his face tinged pink as they both tried to comprehend what was going on. Athena's head was forced downward towards Mr. Wright's chest, the necklace almost hurting from such force. Mr. Wright's mouth dropped as he realized what the gadget was after. "LOVE!"

Widget's face was rubbing affectionately at the magatama laying against his chest, a green face so happy with giant pink blushes occupied the screen. It was starting to kiss the magatama, caressing it with it's own glassy face. It sighed happily, snuggling itself against the hard green surface.

"Widget!" Athena yelled, attempting to raise herself off her boss. "Is that what you were after?!"

"Mmhmm…" The gadget chimed, hearts descending onto the screen. Athena and Wright could only stare, wondering how long they would have to be awkwardly positioned on top of the desk before the gadget had finished. After several attempts to release herself and him trying to move, it wasn't working. That gadget Metis made somehow had unworldly strength. Athena lowly groaned, "I guess we're in-laws now, Mr. Wright..."

"Stop…" He grimaced.

Just as it appeared Widget was about to run out of battery, to her and Mr. Wright's relief, the magician and red attorney came through the office door. Apollo and Trucy's face went from accomplished to overwhelming, overbearing and unfathomable confusion and shock. Athena and Mr. Wright stared horridly at Apollo and Trucy, their faces morphing with all kinds of emotion.

"Wait! Trucy!"

"Apollo! No! It's not what it looks like!"

"LOVE!"

"SHUTTUP WIDGET!"
