"The court is now in session for the trial of Ijizzin Mipants," announced Judge Salsa. "And the prosecution is too busy laughing his ass off."
"HOLD IT!"
Gumshoe took to the stand and said to Klavier, "Klavier pal, I'm happy for you and I'll let you finish but Edgeworth is the best prosecutor of all time!" The courtroom gasped and gossiped about Gumshoe's act. The were shocked, but some of them were giggling. Gumshoe out of words to speak, erupted in outburst with, "MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!"
"You son of a bitch!" sneered Judge Salsa. "You think you're gonna get your salery raised by trying to impersonate Kayne West?" he ranted throwing his arms in the air. His shoulders relaxed and he smiled at Gumshoe. "I love you man, you're so funny. Very stupid, but funny."

A cool breeze hugged them in delight outside the Kitaki's mansion. Pearl was on top of Wocky, kissing him passionately. Vera concentrated on her sketchbook as Apollo and Trucy stood waiting for Pearl's friend Cody to show up. The silence felt out of place, and the conversation just felt dead. Trucy marched on the spot flashing her new figure while her cape and hat where safe with Apollo.
Trucy's black dress and high heels and given her more of a slender figure. Phoenix had banned Trucy from wearing those high heels in the house, and she wasn't allowed to wear make-up either. He had pacifically told Apollo to watch over her to make sure she didn't get too drunk. Trucy had disobeyed Phoenix's rules for tonight. But Apollo was still going to keep an eye on her. If Phoenix had seen her dress only just covering her polka-heart panties, he would have banned her from going all together. The only person who had make-up in the house was Iris. Trucy had made a lot of effort into her appearance compared to Apollo. He wore a simple red shirt and some jeans; no need for the complicated stuff.
Machi was smartly dressed in a tight suit with aqua tights to match his ballet style shoes. A very feminine look for a boy. He had held a red rose in his hand for a while and his cheeks glowed red whenever Trucy smiled at him. It had been quite an eventful year for him as well; he had been reunited with his mother and he changed his surname to Skye. He was Ema's nephew and Lana's son and it was noticeable how Machi had Lana's eyes and her warm tender smile.
"Is there going to be any alcohol?" asked Trucy in excitement.
Wocky pushed Pearl away and replied with: "Matt said he was gonna bring tons with him." Wocky breath had been taken away.
"If you thirsty Trucy," Machi mumbled. "I... can... vodka you." Trucy received a turquoise bottle, wrapped in violet. The graceful font made it seem as if it were for expensive tastes. He also gave Trucy the rose that vibrated in his hand. "You are fat maiden."
Wocky laughed at Machi's broken English. Which lead to Pearl's palm causing a sharp shock to Wocky's cheek. "Be nice Wocky!" Pearl demanded. "You know it's not very easy to confess your feelings to the one you love."
Wocky groaned and paused for a few moments. "... You kinda just ruined it." Without another word, Machi leaned towards Trucy and pressed his lips against Trucy's lips and his hand slipped on her hips. The jump from Trucy made it obvious that she didn't expect that at all. Trucy's dress slowly got higher and Machi's hands crawled to her underwear. A sudden flash that sounded as it came from a camera startled Machi, and ending the kiss. A boy with short black hair dressed in green approached the group with a gigantic grin. His eyes were wide and aggressive. He looked like he was in his teens.
"WOW WE'VE GOT SOME ACTION GOING ON!" cried the boy.
"SUP CODY?" Wocky yelled back.
"Hi there Cody!" Pearl jumped up to hug him as fast as she could. "It's nice to meet you again." Wocky, Vera and Apollo quickly followed Pearl. Machi and Trucy stared at each other's eyes for a few seconds, then went to greet Cody, holding hands as they walked.
"Okay Cody, these are my new homies, they're Vera, Apollo, Trucy and Machi," Wocky introduced his friends to Cody. "One's an artist, one's a lawyer, one's a magician and one plays the piano."
"That is awesome!" Cody grinned. "And you're the gangster," Cody told Wocky. "Pearl is the spirit medium and I'm the awesome person! Okay all of us are awesome."
"Let's go round to the park now," Wocky said, grabbing onto Pearl's hand. "Matt's gonna meet us down there. He's got a lot of alcohol."
"And I've got my camera, Nintendo DS and some manga books as well."
"That's cool," Apollo commented.
"This Vodka tastes amazing!" exclaimed Trucy who was gulping the bottle down.
"You shouldn't gulp it down like that Trucy," advised Apollo.
"Why?" whined Trucy.
"Save a bit for everyone else at least," replied Apollo. "And your dad said I had to watch over you."
"Now I've two people who can watch over me," Trucy reacted. "You, my big brother and Machi."
"Don't forget us too, Trucy," reminded Pearl. "We can all look after you for Mr. Nick too. We have four very strong beautiful men and Vera to look after us."
"You're so nice," Vera whispered. This was the first time Vera had been out with friends for a long time. "So how long are we staying out for?"
"Till 2:AM," Wocky said.
"That's pretty late," Vera said, hugging her sketchpad harder.
"How cool is that Apollo?" asked Trucy.
"Yes," Apollo replied a bit quieter, "Phoenix would love to see you lying about drunk at 2:AM."
"That's cool then."
"...Trucy, I was being sarcastic."
"I've got loads of stuff with me," Cody reminded them. "So we won't get bored."

Ace Detective says:
Zvarri! On your phone I see.
The Hobo says:
Mr. Atmey???
Ace Detective says:
Yes that is me.
The Hobo says:
How on earth are you on MSN?
Ace Detective says:
I am on my blackberry of course.
The Hobo says:
Ah, those stuff.
The Hobo says:
Well, I certainly didn't expect a chat to you on MSN. I wouldn't think they'd let you have a blackberry in jail.
Ace Detective says:
... Well, where I am doesn't really matter.
The Hobo says:
You escaped again didn't you?
Ace Detective says:
Just our little secret, yes?
The Hobo says:
It's not my problem if you get caught or not.
Ace Detective says:
Being the man of experience I am, I have it all worked out. :D
The Hobo says:
You do? :O
Ace Detective says:
Oh yes ...If ever I have to take the fall, Sir Apollo Justice will help me.
The Hobo says:
I feel sorry for him already. Lol
Ace Detective says:
Wocky said that he was a mad man, but did a dazzling job at defending him.
Ace Detective says:
Perhaps a bit more dazzling at the trade more than you. I know he will do well.
The Hobo says:
Out of curiosity, why did you befriend Wocky?
The Hobo says:
Cause you being friends with him is kinda odd.
Ace Detective says:
I assure you Sir Hobo,
Ace Detective says:
My friendship with Sir Wocky is genuine.
The Hobo says:
You surprise me Atmey.
The Hobo says:
But you and Matt Engarde is one of the most unlikeliest couples I've ever met.
Ace Detective says:
I work in magnificent mysterious ways, Sir Hobo.
The Hobo says:
I'm not sure about magnificent, but defiantly mysterious.
Ace Detective says:
ZVARRI! You'd dare to deny my greatness?
The Hobo says:
Yes, cause you're not that great.
Ace Detective says:
You are obviously jealous.

The night was filled with dusty clouds with the odd sparkles glistening like diamonds in the sky. Matt Engarde's face had been decorated with scars. He grinned at his own mirror reflection as the car, he stepped out of his car, and blew a kiss to one of the passengers. "Have fun with my boyfriend," he cackled. The passenger was tied up so none of them could hear his cries.
"Here comes Matt!" Wocky yelled out.
Matt grinned as he went to shake hands with Wocky. "Hello there Wocky, how are you doing."
"So you've got alcohol?" Trucy asked, jumping as she grinned at Matt.
"I've got tons of it, don't you worry sweetheart," Matt assured in a deep dark husky voice. The cackle in his voice gave Apollo a rather poor first impression. He carried two crates in his hand. "It's either vodka or whisky," he hissed. "If you're adventurous, you can a mixture of both!"
"Cool!" Trucy exclaimed.
"So you need any help with that alcohol?" Wocky asked.
"Don't worry," Matt replied. "You just sit down and relax, I'll get everything we need."
"I know him somewhere," Pearl whispered to Vera. "But I can't remember where..."
