Sorry for not posting this yesterday; my wi-fi was playing up.
Hope you are having a great Advent so far! :D
Pearl Fey was over the moon on the morning of the 11th of December; her cousin, Maya, and her good friend Phoenix Wright- whom she was staying with for Christmas- had gone to get some food in preparation for the coming week. Pearl was certain that the two were, as she put it, 'special someones'- in fact, she was much more than certain- and tried everything in her power to get the two together, so Maya and Phoenix going shopping together really kindled her determination.
After yet another bout of daydreaming, Pearl decided to put her plan into full action- she had been thinking on it for some time now, and after buying what she needed at the local market she had visited with Phoenix and her cousin, it was now or never to start it up. Walking across the room to fetch a chair, Pearl grinned widely.
This is going to work! I can't wait until they get home, and then when they see it, they're finally going to kiss, and…ah, it's all so exciting!
Clapping her hands together, she pulled a chair into the middle of the Wright and Co. Law Offices, took a plastic bunch of mistletoe out of her pocket, and hung it by its thread from the ceiling, standing on the chair to give her a temporary boost of height. After repeating this action several different times, she stood proudly and looked at her handiwork before turning and hiding behind the office sofa as she heard the door creak open.
A spirit medium clad in purple by the name of Maya Fey and a lawyer with incredibly spiky hair entered, setting their bags down and looking at each other wearily.
"Wow, that was a lot to carry, Nick! My back hurts…"
"I know, doesn't it?"
"…Nick! Can we get some burgers?"
"Not just yet, Maya."
"Oh, pleeeeeeease?"
Both people stopped as they saw the mistletoe hanging from the ceiling, Pearl's breath catching in her throat.
Maya looked at Phoenix.
Phoenix looked at Maya.
Both stared at the mistletoe.
Maya looked back at Phoenix quickly and, without saying anything, gave him a short peck on the cheek. As Phoenix's face started to rapidly turn red, Maya marched over to the sofa and immediately looked behind it, finding an awe-struck Pearl with a grin on her face. Maya promptly started to tickle her dazed cousin on the side of her neck, causing Pearl to laugh out loud and try to stop Maya's hand with her own, but to no avail did she do so.
"Ahhh! Mystic Maya, stop that! It tickles!" Pearl laughed, only to be replied with a curt shake of the head from Maya and a small smirk.
"This is your punishment for making me kiss Nick, OK?"
"Ahhh!-but-but-it wasn't-you love him, so- oh, that tickles!"
Maya laughed before letting go, looking in the other direction to see Phoenix unpacking the bags with an extremely crimson face, and turned back to Pearl.
"Serves you right!"
