Title: Can't Beat the Classics
Prompt: #24-Orly?
Characters: Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice, Trucy Wright, Miles Edgeworth
Author Notes: Time for a less serious drabble. This one was fun. :D And for the record, In case you're wondering about his behavior here, I think Phoenix would start acting more like his old self again after finally taking Kristoph down for good. That's my theory, anyway. Also, I love Apollo. And I'm letting him pick on Phoenix for a change. That is all.
Disclaimer: I'm running out of clever ways to say I don't own this stuff. D:
Summary: "Mr. Wright…is that really your ringtone?"
Dun dun duuun dun dun, dun dun dun DUN!
Phoenix heard the familiar tune from across the office and moved to grab his cell phone. Just as he was about to pick up, however, he saw a very incredulous-looking attorney staring at him.
"What?" he asked Apollo.
"Mr. Wright…is that really your ringtone?"
"Huh? Yeah, what about it?"
"Is it what I think it is?"
"Is what what you think it is?" Trucy asked, walking into the room. At this point, the phone had stopped ringing.
"I think it was the Steel Samurai theme song," Apollo said.
"The Steel Samurai? Oh, I love that show! I watch reruns of it all the time!"
"I loved it too," Apollo agreed, "When I was a kid. Mr. Wright, why is it your ringtone?"
"Uh…it's not."
"Oh, come on, Daddy," Trucy said, giggling. "Now that I think about it, it really does sound like it."
"You're both hearing things. My ringtone is not-"
His phone rang again.
Dun dun duuun dun dun, dun dun dun DUN!
Trucy and Apollo looked from the phone to Phoenix, smug, I-knew-it smiles on their faces.
Phoenix picked up the phone hurriedly.
"Yes, hello?"
"Ah, Wright. There you are."
"Sorry. I, uh…Trucy and Apollo had something to ask me."
"His ringtone's the Steel Samurai, Uncle Edgeworth!" Trucy shouted.
"Hmm. So that's what they were asking you about?" There was a hint of humor in Edgeworth's tone.
"I was just about to tell them," Phoenix said, more to Apollo and Trucy than to Edgeworth, "That the Steel Samurai only plays when you call. Since it's your favorite show and all."
"…Throwing me under the bus, are we, Wright?"
"I don't know, Daddy," Trucy said, giggling again. "Uncle Edgeworth must call you an awful lot. That's the only ringtone I've ever heard on your phone."
"As soon as he hangs up, I'll call him," Apollo said, grinning. "I want to know what my ringer ID is."
"Please don't," Phoenix said to Apollo, then to Edgeworth asked, "What did you want, anyway?"
"I've forgotten," Edgeworth replied, "But I find your family's misadventures much more interesting, anyway."
"Oh, you're so funny, Edgeworth," Phoenix muttered.
"So, Daddy?" Trucy asked. "Are you going to admit it to us?"
"...Alright, fine. It's the Steel Samurai theme."
As Trucy and Apollo exchanged hi-fives, Phoenix added, "But I worked with the Steel Samurai on a case, so the song is more than just a TV jingle-"
"A likely story!" Trucy said, jokingly.
"It's true! Just ask Edgeworth!"
From the phone, Phoenix heard, "I have no recollection of such a case."
"…You do too!"
