Hello everyone! I read this amazing fanfiction called "It's Been So Long" by Yanmegaman and thepudz. It revolves around Apollo's return to the Wright Anything Agency after being in Khura'in for 2 years. It was great (probably because if it's Justicykes. I love it), but these two amazing authors got the idea to make Trucy and Pearl the "Ace Shippers," which is so accurate. Thus, the idea for this fic came to me.

This is my first fanfiction, so feel free to review it. I want to produce some content for this site because I just thought it was amazing how all these good authors joined forces to make this community. Also I finished SoJ a few weeks ago and I am going into depression with no more PW games (I can't seem to figure out how to get the fan translation for AAI2). Anyway, enjoy!

Fey Manor

Dining Hall

The 7-year-old girl quietly ate her dinner, alone in the massive dining hall of Fey Manor. Her mother, Morgan Fey, had been sleeping for the last hour, leaving the girl to produce her own food. Normally, her cousin would eat with her, but she was attending a "tri-ahl". The girl had no idea what it meant, but she wasn't home yet, and that was lowering the spirit medium's spirit (ironic, isn't it?). She picked at her food. How much longer would she have to wait?

Suddenly, the door came busting open. The child ran to the front hall and was greeted with the sight of her cousin, Maya.

"Pearl!" she exclaimed. Maya sprinted toward her and picked her up in her arms. "Sorry I'm late for dinner."

"That's okay, Mystic Maya. I'm just glad you're back!" Pearl happily stated. Maya carried her back to the dining hall, setting her down in a chair and then sitting opposite from her. "What did you do today, Mystic Maya?" Pearl inquired, now regaining her appetite. "I got acquitted in the trial today, by Nick…" Maya's speech drifted off. Pearl didn't even need to say that she didn't understand a word she said-instead, she just gave her a look that clearly said, "Can you speak in English?" Maya received the message and translated it for the younger girl. "Basically, people thought I killed Sis, but her student proved them wrong." The older cousin started to get teary-eyed. "Oh, Sis…"

Desperate to keep Maya from crying, Pearl continued the conversation. "Her… student? Who's he?" she asked.

Instantly, Maya's stature straightened, and she wiped her eyes. "His name is Nick. He has spiky hair and he wears a blue suit. And… well, he saved me!" Meanwhile, Pearl's mind was pondering these statements. A man, who saved Maya, and she has a nickname for him? It all led her to one final conclusion.

"Mystic Maya, is he your special someone?"

Wright Anything Agency

Living Room

"Trucy, wait!" shouted Apollo, sprinting after the magician.

There were only so many places to hide in the Wright Anything Agency, and it certainly wasn't big enough to run around in without getting caught. Taking these facts into account, Trucy resigned, coming to a halt in the living room (A.K.A. magic prop storage).

"Now give it back!" commanded the attorney. It had been a rough morning, and he needed it so bad.

Looking around, the magician thought of an idea. "Sure. But first… let me make your coffee disappear!" Trucy took the mug and lifted it to her mouth. Immediately, she spit it out and started coughing.

"You drink your coffee black? That's disgusting, Polly!"

Apollo smirked. "It's an… acquired taste. I see you aren't really into it," he teased. "And you can clean up the rug, too. I don't need your saliva on the rug, and neither does Mr. Wright."

Trucy had no escape. The red-clad attorney grabbed the coffee, took a sip, and waited expectantly for her to get some paper towels.

Defeated, the illusionist started to walk to her father's desk, which had 3 paper towel rolls in it (He was "just preparing for his agency's shenanigans").

The lock on the front door slid back and the door opened, revealing Phoenix, Athena, and a small girl who was wearing a lavender robe, and had the strangest hairstyle.

"We're back!" called out the spiky-haired legend. Getting no response from Apollo and Trucy, he explained the girl's presence. "This is Pearl Fey. She's the, uh, cousin of my former assistant." That sounded a lot less stupid in my head, he thought.

Trucy, being the energetic, friendly, girl that she was, offered her hand to the girl.

"My name is Trucy Wright, Ace Magician!"

"Oh! Uhm… my name is Pearl Fey, Ace Spirit Medium."

And so, a new friendship blossomed in the Wright Anything Agency. In time, they would bond together, and become best friends. But they had no idea of the shenanigans to come.

So there you have it! The first chapter of my first fanfiction! Of course, this was a super small chapter, but I felt I should give a bit of backstory first. I promise to update this before next weekend, because this chapter was so small. The Ace Shippers will start to sail the seas very soon!

(P.S. The meeting of Trucy and Pearl takes place after the Shipshape Aquarium case. Phoenix, Athena, and Pearl all had to stay at a hotel because they were at the Detention Center for too long (acquitting an orca takes a lot of paperwork!).
