(AN: This is the second in my series of Phoenix Wright crackfic challenge. While most of my crackfics are humorous in nature, this one ended up being on the fluffy side. I don't write fluff generally, but I do like this one.

Mia Fey often times found herself wondering how Phoenix Wright had managed to worm his way into her life. Their first acquaintance had been as Attorney and Defendant, her, the rookie eager to prove his innocence and him, the rather troublesome defendant (Mia hoped to whatever god was listening that he'd be a better attorney than a witness). After the case was won and his innocence proven, she'd figured that would be the end of it, but she couldn't quite shake their parting.

As they walked out of the Courthouse, he'd turned to her and rather abashedly handed her his address and number saying, "In case you want to contact me…and since I know how to get in touch with you…would you mind if I asked you for help sometime?"

Mia looked at him as he'd stared at his feet, he meant well, even if he was a poor judge of character, and it wouldn't hurt to help him out. So she'd smiled and said, "Sure, I'd be glad to help."

And initially he'd done just that, asked her for help when he'd had problems on assignments, questioned her on her cases so he'd get a better understanding of what the real thing was like. Gradually it went from a friendly acquaintance to a strong friendship. After throwing himself into law, Mia'd been surprised to see how much Phoenix (or Nick, as she'd affectionately come to call him) had matured. He was focused and driven, yet still retained some of the compassion and sensitivity that he'd shown during his trial. His rather melodramatic tendencies were all but gone. However, every once in a while he'd do something that would cause her to question both his sanity and her own.

One of these incidents found her at a small festival in Gourd Lake Park. Mia found herself wondering how Nick had managed to pull her away from her rather large pile of case files sitting on her kitchen table, and talked her into coming to this. Oh, that was right…he'd used that voice. Over their friendship, Nick had developed a tone that sounded disappointed and hurt, and it got her every time he used it. She knew what he was doing, but couldn't help but cave.

The man himself was standing to her right and grinning like an idiot, "Isn't this great, Mia?"

Mia shook her head and groused, "It'd be better if you hadn't dragged me away from those files to get me here. Why did you want to come to this thing anyway?"

Nick actually looked a little embarrassed and suddenly found the ground fascinating as he said, "I thought you'd like it. You're always so busy with the cases Grossberg piles on you, I though you might like some down time."

Mia looked at him, standing there and shuffling his feet as he tried to avoid her gaze. She found a slow smile spreading across her face; he really was sweet sometimes. "Alright then, if I've got down time I might as well enjoy it. What do you want to do, Nick?"

Nick head shot up and his grin was back, "Alright! Well, there's the game booths over there…"

They ended up just wandering the booths, trying a few games here and there, and Mia found herself thinking it was the most fun she'd had in a long while. She couldn't remember how it happened, but at some point her hand ended up in his.

Since she'd proven herself a good defense lawyer in Phoenix's case, Grossberg had been steadily piling her with cases to the point where she'd been unable to kick back even if she'd wanted to. Nick had, as the load got heavier, come by more frequently to try and give her a hand and give her someone to grouse to, and he put up with her irritability quite well. He'd really been a blessing, she though idly as she watched Nick get verbally assaulted by a guy working the fried noodle stand. She had to bite back a chuckle at verbal battle's abrupt end, when the noodle guy pulled out a very large spatula and smacked Nick hard on the head. Defeated, he wandered back over to her, rubbing the back of his head.

He looked at her rather abashedly, "Well, that didn't go as planned…"

Mia just smiled and patted his shoulder, "It's okay. We can grab something on the way back." A chuckle managed to escape as she finished, "After all we can't have you getting mauled by all the food stand workers, now can we?"

Phoenix gave her a rather offended look, but Mia just laughed and slipped her hand into his. She watched as a blush crept onto his face and he hastily started off.

After another hour or so of just wandering together Mia sighed, "It's starting to get late, we should probably think about heading back into town."

Phoenix looked disappointed for a moment before he saw a certain booth. "Alright, but there's something I want to do first. I'll meet you by the car?"

"Sure, but-" She didn't get a chance to finish as he quickly headed off out of sight. She sighed as she watched him go, biting back an unfamiliar sense of disappointment. Surely it was just because the night was ended, not because Nick had left, wasn't it? She found herself questioning that as she headed out to her car. Nick didn't like driving and had never had anything beyond his trainers permit, so he generally carpooled with her or took a taxi. A few minutes after she'd finally located her car (she refused to admit it but she had a tendency to forget where she parked) Nick ran up panting and holding something behind his back.

Mia found herself laughing again as she said, "Nick, you didn't have to run back to the car, it's not like I was going to leave you here."

Nick had finally caught his breath and simply grinned before saying, "I know that, but I wanted to give you this before we left."

He held out a small teddy bear that he'd been hiding behind his back. He looked a little uncomfortable, "I saw one of the game booths had it and I thought, you might like a souvenir, you know? I mean, you don't have to take it if you don't want it…"

Mia smiled as she took it from him, and she wasn't sure if it was the gift or just the fact that he CARED that made her hook his head down and kiss him. He made a surprised sound when their lips touched, but he quickly reciprocated. It was a short but intense kiss that found them both out of breath and tangled up in each other.

Mia ran her fingers through Nick's thick hair and idly wondered how much hair gel he used in it before speaking, "Thanks Nick."

He blushed but pulled her closer, "For the gift or for tonight?"

Mia pulled his head down closer before whispering "Both." And pulling him into another kiss.

(AN: Yeah, in case you were wondering I do support this pairing (dodges flying fruit from Phoenix/Edgeworth fans and Maya/Nick fans), There were a lot of overtones for it in the first game, and I think, if events had gone differently, they would have ended up together. So, yeah, expect some more Nick/Mia stuff will probably show up on FF soon. Please comment and review, but no flames please!)
