Larry stood in front of the door to the Wright and Co. Law Offices. He'd been here many times before, but never with the same intentions he had today. He swallowed the lump in his throat and fiddled with the two pieces of paper he held behind his back.

C'mon, Butz! You've asked a hundred different girls to a hundred different shows like this. Why ya turning to Jell-o over this one!?

He took a deep breath and finally brought his hand up and knocked on the door. To his relief, exactly who he was looking for opened the door.

"Oh, Larry! How's it going?" Maya said, smiling her usual cheery smile. It made Larry's heart flutter.

"Hey there, Maya-baby! Lookin' good as always!" So far so good!

Maya let out a cute giggle. "Oh, Larry, you're such a suck up. What'd you do? I'm sure Nick will defend you without having to butter us up."

Larry put on his famous crooked grin. "Nah, I didn't get in any trouble this time. And I don't need to talk to Nick, either. I wanted to talk to you."

Maya looked shocked at this, jumping back in her usual manner. "Huh? Me? What about?"

Alright, Butz-head, it's now or never. The orange clad man squeezed the two tickets behind his back. "Well, it's just. There's a-"

"Maya, are you ready to go?" Phoenix suddenly appeared in the doorway. His eyes widened when he caught sight of Larry. "Larry? *sigh* What'd you do this time."

Larry began to bear his fangs. "Why do you always act like I did something!?"

"Because you usually did!"

Maya cut in. "Nick, he said he didn't do anything. I believe him for once." She then turned her attention back to Larry. "Look, Larry, Nick and I have plans to go see the Steel Samurai on Ice. Can you make your question quick."

Larry's heart sank. "Oh, uh, I-I was just wondering if … You knew what time it was."

Both Phoenix and Maya sighed.

"Larry," Phoenix said. "You came all the way here to ask the time? It's 8:35."

"Yeah, which means we need to get moving, Nick!" Maya quickly hooked her arms through Phoenix's and began to drag him down the hall, Phoenix barely had time to close the door to the office behind him. Maya glanced over her shoulder. "See ya later, Larry!" And just like that, they were gone.

Larry quickly pulled the two Steel Samurai on Ice tickets out from behind his back and tore them into pieces, tossing them onto the floor before storming out of the building, heading for whichever bar happened to be closest.
