Phoenix Wright, still busy with work on a case he had, unfortunately, been given on Boxing Day, got a phone call at 3 in the evening from a phone number he didn't recognise. Looking at his calendar, he realised, with a shock, that it was the 30th of December. He wondered how the days had gone so fast, and what a fast year it had been, before picking up the phone.

"Phoenix Wright speaking." Phoenix stated, grinning when he heard the voice on the other end.

"Ah, hello, Phoenix."

"Hi, Miles! How are things with you?"

"Good, good. I'm just watching some Steel Samurai movies that Miss Fey kindly gave me yesterday-" Phoenix, at this, glanced over at Maya and smiled warmly as he watched her talk enthusiastically to her cousin Pearl, "-and doing some more paperwork. What about you?"

Phoenix grimaced as he remembered his own burden. "I got a new client, Miles."

"Oh, that's great! How is the case going?"

"Well, uh…I got the case on Boxing Day…"

Miles laughed softly. "Ouch. You must have been exhausted."

"Tell me about it…"

Miles cleared his throat. "Anyway, I changed my number to this one."

"Why? Oh, let me guess…Oldbag."

"Yes. Oldbag."

"Hey, Miles," Phoenix began, "this year's gone by fast!"

"It has. It feels like summer was only yesterday."

"Got any New Year's resolutions?" Miles could almost feel the force of his friend's grin on the other end of the line.

"Well, uh…to get acquainted with more of my colleagues, and to watch all the Steel Samurai series so far twice through."

"Nice! Mine are really just to stay as I am now- happy, at a perfect age, and sane. I don't think I'll be able to stay that way for long, though…"

Miles laughed again. "Of course you will; you're Phoenix Wright, you know. Anyway, are you coming to the fireworks display tomorrow night?"

"Of course I am. I wouldn't miss it for the world!"

"I'll see you there, then. Sorry about cutting this short, but I have to go now. Something's just come up and I have to-"

"That's OK. You don't have to apologize. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Thanks. Goodbye, Phoenix."

"Bye, Miles!"

After Miles had hung up, Phoenix smiled warmly, wondering what would happen on the very last day of the year.
