Phoenix walked down the hallways of the temple, the darkness was already overtaking the temple, and with that snowstorm about to hit, Phoenix knew it was just best to stay in his room all night.
He stumbled around for his phone in his pocket, he wanted to call Maya and inform her he wouldn't be home until tomorrow. He did care for her after all…Not in a romantic way he told himself, just as a big brother kind of way. He finally found his phone and dialed the office.
The phone rang for several minutes until it eventually reached the answering machine, "Huh? Thats kinda weird, I thought Maya would be in the office. I wonder where she is?"
With Maya
"Um…Are you sure this is a good ideal detective Gumshoe?" Maya and Gumshoe looked at the abomination that was cooking on Gumshoe's stove, he had asked Maya to come over to assist in a science project of some sorts and she happily agreed(Anything to get her mind off of Nick.)
"Of course Pal! The box said to mix all the ingredients and then heat at boiling temperature for ten minutes!" Gumshoe gave a inward chuckle, though Maya still kept her concerned face. Finally the timer rang and Gumshoe carefully removed the pot from the stove.
"So um…Detective, what exactly are we making?"
"Well pal it's a love potion!" Maya gave a confused look to Gumshoe who kept his goofy expression on.
"A…love potion…As in a potion to make someone love you?"
"Yeah pal!…Although in this case I'm using it to cure my love for instant noodles!"
"Love for instant noodles?"
"Yep! I eat them all the time, so I figured I would make this and drink some, so that away the first food I see I will fall in love with it instead!"
"I…see…(Does this thing even work on food?)" Gumshoe lifted the lid off of the pot and Maya could have sworn she saw a skull lift up from the pot when he did. Finally he gently poured some into one of the nearby cup, causing the cup to slightly melt.
"Um…Here Pal! Give it a sip first!" Gumshoe gave a chuckle as Maya looked at him horrified, he asked her to do what!?
"What? It's your love potion why don't you try it?"
"Well um…I just want to make sure it works pal! Since you don't have any romantic relationships of the sort right now I figured you wouldn't mind giving it a try!"
"What! What do you mean I don't have any romantic relationships currently going on!? Are you implying I'm not attractive?!"
"What? No I'm not suggesting that pal!" Maya was fuming, In her mind Gumshoe just said she wasn't attractive enough to score herself a romantic partner! Well she would show him!
"Well guess what? I can score myself a romantic partner! Here give me that stupid cup!"
"I-It's ok pal you don't have t-"
"Give me it!" Maya grabbed the cup out of Gumshoe's hand and looked down into it, she was sure this stuff was from Hell itself but she didn't care! She was going to show Gumshoe! She held her nose as she downed the cup, after it was all gone she dropped the cup and started gagging like a mad man.
"Hey um Pal, are you ok?"
"I'm *Cough* Fine…Here give me something to drink!" Gumshoe looked around his kitchen frantically trying to find something, finally he looked over and saw some old coffee sitting on the counter and handed it to Maya.
"Here pal! Try this!" Gumshoe gave Maya the cup and she instantly drank the entire coffee, despite the face it was colder than the North Pole. Maya slowly lifted herself up from the coffee with a small smile starting to form on her face. "Um…Pal, are you alright?"
"Yeah…Hey Gumshoe…What flavor is this?"
"Huh? Oh thats um Blend #107 I believe pal…"
"I see…Who made this?"
"Well um, Prosecutor Godo- I mean Prosecutor Armando Pal, he was over the other day and must have left it behind." Maya gave a full on smile with a small blush forming.
"I…see, where is Prosecutor Armando right now?"
"Uh…He should be over at the prosecutors office, why do you want to know pal?"
"Haa….Just wondering…Thanks for letting me help you Detective Gumshoe, I hope we can work together again~" Maya giggled as she skipped out of Gumshoe's kitchen, a second later he heard the door open and close.
Gumshoe looked over at the instructions for his love potion and read them aloud "After potion is completed, the first thing your mouth touches is what you shall fall in love with, if somebody else had their mouth on it then you shall fall in love with that person…Oh…Pal…."
With Phoenix
"Eh, I'm sure she's fine." Phoenix opened the door to his room and looked around, the room was relatively small with a lone bed in the middle of the room that seemed big enough for two people…If even that…. Phoenix went over to the corner of the room and pulled his shoes off, if he was going have to spend the night their might as well get comfortable.
Phoenix decided to also take his jacket off and throw it on the ground, he looked at his arms and made a mental note to work out some more. Phoenix threw his tie on the ground and looked outside, the storm was already setting in so it was going to be a cold night. Phoenix went over and turned the lantern on for some light and heat.
He sat down on the bed and figured Bikini would be in soon with some dinner(She did promise some!) He closed his eyes for a moment to think over his current situation until he heard the door open, he was expecting it to be Bikini but to his surprise it was Edgeworth.
"Huh? Edgeworth, why are you still here?"
"I could ask the same for you Wright, I was under the impression you had accomplished your goals and was long gone."
"Same here Edgeworth, I figured after I left you just set on home, not even worrying about Iris."
"Really Wright, what kind of man do you think I am? A gentleman always follows through on a promise to a friend…Even the most stupid of them."
"Uh right, anyway how was Iris?"
"She was…Well, her affection has not died down, that I can assure you."
"Uh great…"
Edgeworth looked over the bed Phoenix was sitting on and gave a deep sigh "I..see we are going have to share the bed…Just fantastic Wright."
"Well it could be worse, it could only be big enough for one of us."
"In that case you would be sleeping on the floor!"
"What!? Why do I have to sleep on the floor!?"
"Because I would not risk getting my clothing the least bit dirty, the fact I have to sleep in my current garment's is honestly torture within itself."
Phoenix just gave a long sigh, "(Of course Edgeworth would worry about his garments of all things, well it's not like it could get much wo-)"
Phoenix then realized something, if Edgeworth was going to be sleeping in the same room as him then…! "Wright, are you alright? You're all of a sudden acting like you have seen a ghost!"
"Edgeworth I um…I have to go talk to Sister Bikini!"Phoenix immediately got up and ran to the door but was stopped by Edgeworth's hand.
"Wright, If you leave this room, won't Iris see you?" Phoenix mentally face palmed, of course, if Iris saw him then well…
"Uh…Don't worry Edgeworth, It's in a closed building, I can use the walls to hide! It's what I did when I had to escape the girls locker room!" Phoenix then opened the door and ran out leaving Edgeworth by his lonesome.
"I swear Wright is…Wait, did Wright just say he had to escape the girls locker room!?"
—-
Phoenix silently crept down the hallways of the temple, the snowfall had intensified outside which resulted in the place being even colder than usual! Phoenix mentally cursed himself for taking his jacket off and peeled around a corner, and their he saw Iris working on what he presumed to be dinner. He couldn't let her see him, but he didn't know how else he would be able to get to Bikini.
Although as if on cue, Bikini walked through the door carrying some ingredients and handed them over to Iris.
"I suppose Mr Edgeworth will be getting some of the stew tonight sister Bikini?"
"Hm…? Oh yes I forgot you told me he was staying here for the night, that is correct Iris, Mr Edgeworth will be having dinner with us, although in his room alone I'm afraid."
"Yes of course, he is a very private man after all." Iris began humming to herself as she started putting the ingredients into the pot, Bikini started assisting her but stopped when she saw Phoenix around the corner beckoning for her.
"Um…Iris dear, I have to take care of something, please finish the soup for me."
"Of course sister Bikini." Bikini quickly ran around the corner and into Phoenix, who backed up a little so Iris couldn't see him.
"Mr Wright? Why are you out of your room? What with the snow fall and Iris…"
"Yes yes I know, it's just um…Remember how I change every night?"
"Well yes, that is the whole reason your here, is it not?"
"Yes it is, and the thing is, I'm kinda sharing a room with Edgeworth and…you know…" It took Bikini a minute to realize what Phoenix meant, but immediately clasped her hands over her mouth when she did.
"Oh Yes, of course Mr Wright! I understand, here let me run to the restroom and grab something real quick!" Bikini quickly ran off to the restroom, leaving Phoenix all by his lonesome. He peeled around the corner and noticed Iris was still tending to the soup, he kept his watch on her the entire time Bikini was gone, lest he be sentenced to a faith worth than death, a lovestruck woman.
Finally Bikini returned holding a bottle of some kind of pills and smiled at Phoenix "Um…Sister Bikini what are those in your hand?"
"These are special Kurain spiritual pills, taking one will mute the curse on you for one night only. Of course I suppose you will only be here for tonight anyway, their is one left so I'm ok with letting you take them."
"Oh thank you Sister Bikini, this is just what I need!"
"Oh no problem Mr Wright, it's the least I could do!" Phoenix gave a small nod as he quickly ran back to his room to avoid Iris, Bikini began walking back when she had a quick thought "Hm…I hope I grabbed the right bottle, if I gave Mr Wright the wrong one then that will only make his female self more outgoing…Nah, I'm sure I gave him the right one."
—
Phoenix quickly open the door to the room and closed it back when he was inside, Edgeworth was leaning back against the bed drinking tea and reading the newspaper(How Edgeworth had gotten tea and a newspaper was any ones guess).
Phoenix quickly went over to his jacket and pulled out a bottle of water from his pocket, he took the last pill out of the bottle and plopped it in his mouth before downing some water with it. Edgeworth never looked up but he did speak "Wright, must you make so much noise? I am trying to read about a new book called "Filling the Void", it looks rather interesting."
"Uh, sorry Edgeworth, I was just taking um…cold medicine…yeah…."
"Well whatever you are doing please quiet it down, I am trying to concentrate." Phoenix just sighed as he pulled out a Steal Samurai comic and plopped against the bottom of the bed to begin reading. The pair sat their in silence, until finally Bikini came in with their supper.
Phoenix and Edgeworth both thanked her as they took their bowls and began eating, the light on the lantern began to die down, and clock struck ten at night. Phoenix and Edgeworth both sighed as they laid their bowls on the table next to them, then they looked at each other.
"Wright…I hope you realize you are not sleeping directly next to me."
"What? Then where will I sleep then?"
"Easy, We shall take sides, I shall have the top of the bed while you can have the bottom. Their are two pillows so I see no harm in it."
"Yeah I guess…But I don't exactly want to sleep next to your feet."
"Either you sleep at the bottom of the bed, or you sleep on the floor. Either way your not sleeping directly beside me, I don't want to be the victim of sleeping beside you."
Phoenix grumbled as he grabbed a pillow and placed it on the bottom of the bed, he loosened his shirt and pulled his socks off as he climbed under the covers and laid down onto his pillow. Edgeworth did the same and laid down as well, although he was going to make sure he was comfortable "Wright, do you really have to place your atrocious feet right next to me?"
"It's not like your feet are sunshine and roses either Edgeworth!" Edgeworth just gave a small muttered as he positioned his head on the pillow and turned away.
"(Ugh, sleeping right next to Wrights feet is horrible…Their is no way this night is going to get better. Not unless the Steal Samurai himself came and saved me.)".

Later in the night.
Edgeworth tossed and turned in his sleep, while he was accustomed to sleeping in places other than his own bed, he wasn't accustomed to sleeping in below freezing temperatures! Edgeworth awoke panting heavily from the cold, he could easily see his breath and feel the air hit against his skin. He wondered why he had gotten so cold until he realized that Phoenix had taken all the cover and had encased himself in a cocoon with them, much to Edgeworth's dismay.
"Oh the love of…Wright!" No answer "Wright, why in the blazes did you take all of the-…Huh?" Edgeworth noticed something when he turned his head over and saw phoenix's foot. It looked…different…It seemed smoother, their seemed to be no hairs on it and…it had a manicure? "What in the blazes? When did Wright learn how to take care of his feet?"
Edgeworth moved a bit closer, he looked Wright's foot over and noticed how it seemed to had taken a entirely different shape, Edgeworth rubbed his eyes wondering if he was dreaming the entire thing. He slowly removed the covers from Wright and then he saw Wright's legs. They were perfectly shaven, and seemed softer than a babies bottom, Edgeworth again rubbed his eyes thinking he was sleeping.
"Alright now…This is….Unexpected, did Wright go and get a full makeover while I was asleep?…Then again, maybe Iris found him and done this to him…for whatever reason…." Edgeworth looked up at Phoenix's face and noticed…long black hair? Just when did he not have spiky hair? Edgeworth more confused than ever gently nudged Wright tying to awake him, and thats when he heard a very soft, feline yawn that froze Edgeworth. "What in the blazes? That didn't sound like something Wright…or any man for that matter would ever make."
Edgeworth gently got out of bed and quietly walked around the over side to see just what in the blazes was going on, when he finally got to the other side though he froze when he saw Wrights face "No it…What?"
Edgeworth was jaw struck to see none other than Perry curled up under the covers, quietly snoring like the little angel she was. Edgeworth struggled for words and started back up, along the way he slipped on Wright's jacket falling down onto the floor making a thud.
Perry moved a bit before opening her eyes and seeing Edgeworth on the floor, crimson red and looking like he just saw a ghost. "Edgeworth…? What are you doing?"
Edgeworth just stayed still as he looked at Perry, and made eye contact making him blush even more "(It…It can't be….Perry but how…? I thought Wright was…) How…Did you get here?"
"Huh…? What do you mean? I'v been here all night."
"(All night? Was this some kind of set up by Wright? Did he know about the snowstorm and set this all up so I would just get with his sister? If so…Then I should thank him later…But now I need to figure out what the hell to do!) Uh…You been here all night Perry?"
"Hm…?(Perry, why is he brining her up of all ti-)" Phoenix, or rather Perry caught herself in her thoughts and immediately got wide eyed, she looked down and sure enough, she was no longer Phoenix Wright the dunce lawyer. She was now Perry Wright, the apparently sexy lawyer. She panicked a bit when she realized what this looked like "Um..well you see…"
Perry struggled for words but that all ended when her eyes locked with Edgeworth, she grew a tint of red and was lost "(Wow…His eyes are….So alluring…Has Edgeworth always been this dreamy?….WAIT? WHAT AM I THINKING I HAVE TO SOMEHOW GET OUT OF THIS SITUATION)"
Despite Phoenix trying to argue himself(Herself?) Her body arose from the bed and slowly made her way over to Edgeworth who was looking over her half-undressed body, she bent down onto her knees and looked Edgeworth into the eyes, making both of them grow red. "Miles….Did I ever tell you…How dreamy you are(NO…PLEASE GOD SAVE ME, IS MY BODY ACTING LIKE THIS?)"
"Uh…No I don't think you ever did…(Don't panic Edgeworth, Don't Panic Edgeworth, Don't Panic Edgeworth, FOR THE LOVE OF THE STEAL SAMURAI DON'T PANIC EDGEWORTH!)"
Perry got closer to Edgeworth touching foreheads, mouths inches from each other "Well…I should have…."
Despite the protesting in her mind from her other self, despite Edgeworth being redder than Furio, despite the snowy weather, Perry didn't care. She leant forward and locked her lips with Edgeworth's.

JordanPhoenix-I''m glad you liked the Iris personality I decided to fresh out I had a lot of fun with that! Indeed Nick is incredibly foolish fool who is horrible with women, yet his female side is quite the opposite it seems XD and indeed it was genius! Also yeah Edgeworth is incredible daft(Would you believe I got that from Trials and Tribulations? XD)
Akky-nee-chan-Hm...I guess that is possible, it was never directly stated it had to be with different people...Hm, Nice you would make a great Ace Attorney lawyer :P
Mihoshi 2.0-X3 Phoenix has the worst of luck out of anybody, Of course his female side would come out like a time like this! Also I guess Alba would fit into that category, but honestly I kinda saw him as the villain from the start.
IForgetMyNick- I could see Nick trying to escape, but no he decided to trust a old women and her pills XD. I thank you for the concern, I have actually found time to write at school X3. Those are not bad particularly paring, I'm not going to say if any of them were right but I will say it's not bad :P And the Dalhia thing isn't a bad ideal either...Although I don't think it's Gregory XD
