A young girl's scream rang through the halls of the Wright Anything Agency. Trucy sat bolt upright in bed a cold sweat on her forehead, and the scream ringing through her ears. She wondered if it was Pearl who screamed and hoped she was alright. Soon a different sound filled the halls of the Wright Anything Agency; it was the sound of light switches flicking on, doors opening and closing and faint mummers or Trucy's family and friends. A bright light crept into Trucy's room as her dad and everyone else entered, she then realised that it was her who screamed...
"Trucy are you ok" asked a very worried Phoenix
"I-I-I'm fine Daddy" said Trucy
"Well can we go back to bed now?" asked Maya groggily
"N-N-NO" said Trucy in a raised voice
"Why not is everything ok?" Phoenix asked his daughter
"Y-Yes" Trucy stammered trying but failing to keep her fears hidden. Apollo, Athena and Phoenix were still half asleep so didn't catch Trucy's lie the first time, but now all three of them heard it. Phoenix flashed his magatama at his daughter, Apollo rubbed his wrist just below his bracelet and Athena pulled up the mood matrix (not the best thing to do if you don't want the person who lied to know that you know they lied)
"You can't lie to us Trucy" said Apollo
"Aw shoot! Here I was thinking that you wouldn't have them with you at..." Trucy stopped and looked over at her clock "HALF TWO IN THE MORNING!" Trucy said in disbelief
"Only three hours till I need to do my Chords Of Steel exercises" said Apollo
"Can't you skip those for today!" said Athena annoyed
"No because otherwise my voice will go all quiet" said Apollo annoyed at Athena's outburst
"Well I would rather your voice be quiet than raspy" said Athena
"Oh do you now" said Apollo in disgust
"ENOUGH!" screamed Phoenix "Trucy why did you scream?" asked Phoenix
"N-No reason" lied Trucy
"You can't lie to us Trucy" said Athena recovered from her outburst at Apollo
"Fine I had a bad dream ok" said Trucy afraid to admit it "Something I saw at the crime scene today started it off, I didn't want to tell you guys because it's a stupid fear!" Trucy finished
"It's ok Trucy everyone has irrational fears. I'm scared of electrical things because I think they might blow up" laughed Phoenix
"I'm scared that Mystic Maya and Mister Nick will never get married" said Pearl from the shadows. Apollo, Athena and Trucy stared at her, Maya and Phoenix in turn, the latter two trying to cover up their embarrassment
"I'm scared that I'll be all alone again, like after my mum died and Simon was sent to jail" said Athena sadly
"I'm scared that the world will run out of food" said Maya recovered from her embarrassment "And that Nick here won't let me use his credit card"
"What's scary about me not letting you use my card?" questioned Phoenix
"That I'll have to use my OWN money" Maya said shivering a little
"Okaaay. I'm scared of rollercoaster's because I'm afraid that they'll stop working when the car is upside-down and I'll fallout" said Apollo
"See Trucy, we all have fears, don't be afraid to have them its normal" said Phoenix caringly
"Ok, my bad dream, my fear is that my cape and hat... are GREEN!" shivered Trucy.
As soon as everyone heard that Trucy's biggest fear was that her outfit would be green they all walked out of her room and went back to bed leaving Trucy to adjust her eyes back to the darkness that surrounded her alone. Phoenix was happy now that he knew what his 'fearless' daughter was afraid if but he was also worried that her biggest fear was green clothes. (Let's not invite Gumshoe over) he said to himself before climbing back into bed.
