Phoenix never had a great reputation with plants. He could just about handle Charlie, the potted plant.
He knew that he was going to visit Maya and Pearl soon, and since he had a gift for Maya, he thought to get one for pearls. He didn't want to be accused off spoiling his special someone. The problem was that he didn't know what to get pearls.
The elders of the village probably would not allow him to get her something electronic or some thing fun. Food was off the list, because Maya would probably eat it before pearls had even got a chance to look at it.
That girl had nack of finding food! Who needs pigs for finding truffles? All they need is one Maya!
Phoenix smirked at his joke.
Several hours of wandering around, phoenix got bored. Really bored. He didn't even look to see where he was going. Only when he walked in to someone did he get his senses back.
'You fool! Don't you have eyes to see where you are going?'
Phoenix looked up and to his surprised he saw Edgeworth.
'Whoa sorry. I thought you were your big sis then!'
'Egh its you Wright. Surely you would have enough common sense to know that I'm older than her. I also know from our time in court that you have perfect eyesight from looking at the evidence. So why the lack of use of them today?'
Phoenix could not be asked to listen to Edgeworth's speech right now. He needed a present for pearls.
'Hay Edgeworth? Know what to get pearls as a present?'
No one could do an eye roll as Edgeworth could. He was the master of eye rolls. The man proceeded to pick up the object he dropped when phoenix had carelessly walked in to him.
'Well as she is growing up in to a young woman, she will not care for thing that she could grow out of easily, unlike your other assistant. Perhaps a plant like this one would help.'
Edgeworth showed phoenix the plant he had just bought.
'Pearls is only eight, I think... Anyway a plant like that can die easily and is probably too expensive.'
'Wright this one is fake. Made out of plastic.'
'Brilliant! where can I get load of them?'
Edgeworth showed phoenix to the shop where he had bought his plant from and proceeded to tell phoenix forcefully which plant to get. After a bitter argument and being thrown out of the shop. The men managed to bribe a customer in to buying the perfect plant for pearls.
Soon came too soon. Phoenix met up with Maya and pearls. He gave them their presents and became deaf when he heard them squealing with delight. He them soon regretted getting Maya the steel samurai box set, for she had decided that they should all sit there and watch it.
The next morning phoenix felt like he should get a lie in. He had stayed up with Maya until the early hours watching the first season of the steel samurai. Pearl had dropped off to sleep early. Unfortunately phoenix's lie in was disturbed by pearls tiny fists.
'Mr. Nick! Mr. Nick! I'm sorry I broke it.'
Phoenix opened his eyes to see a crying pearls with her plant. The plant looked intact, so he had no idea what was going on.
'What do you mean pearly?'
'The plants not taking any water! The soil is rock hard its all my fault!'
Pearls started to cry loudly.
'Hay pearly don't get upset! The plants fake! You don't need to water it. Its for decoration use. Look I'm trying to sleep here. Wake Maya and get her to explain. She loves explaining things.'
Pearl walked away. Phoenix knew that he would have to explain it correctly later on. Maya probably would make up an answer. For now all he cared about was sleep.
