OH MY GOD. I haven't updated this thing in a while, huh? I'm sowwy... I was busy... Now that school is starting to end, I can start to focus on my multi-chaptered fics now! Please enjoy drabble number 2.
Little Mia tugged on her father's jacket. Phoenix looked down from his newspaper and said, "Yes, Mia?"
She said shyly, "Um, Daddy? Could you tell me a story?"
He closed his newspaper and motioned for her to sit on his lap. "Well, sweetheart, what kind of story do you want to hear?" After seeing Mia struggling to climb on his lap, he carried her and placed her there.
"One of your court stories! I wanna hear one about Uncle Edgeworth. Please," she quickly added.
He smiled and started to think. "Okay, I have one."
Mia smiled and got comfortable on Phoenix's lap. She looked up excited as she saw her father dramatically getting ready to tell one of his epic court tales.
He started: "Do you remember watching the Steel Samurai with Mommy? Yeah? Of course you do. Well, I had to defend the Steel Samurai one time! The Steel Samurai was blamed for a crime, and people keep saying that he killed the Evil Magistrate. And not on TV! The Evil Magistrate was actually dead! Everyone believed that the Steel Samurai killed the Evil Magistrate, but I didn't believe that. I believed what the Steel Samurai was saying, and said that he didn't kill him. Your Mommy and I had all kinds of fun investigating and collecting evidence for the trial.
"When it was time for the trial, I was facing your Uncle Edgeworth for the first time in years! I'm pretty sure all of us know that Uncle Edgeworth is a diehard fan of the Steel Samurai, right?"
Mia giggled. "Of course, Daddy! I remember that sometimes Uncle Edgeworth comes over to watch the Steel Samurai with Mommy and me. He'd let me sit on his lap while we watched." She smiled.
Phoenix smiled back. "Well, when Uncle Edgeworth saw that he was prosecuting the Steel Samurai, the whole courtroom could tell that he was freaking out! On the inside, of course."
Mia cut in, "Of course it was on the inside! Uncle Edgeworth always acts really calm and cool!"
He continued: "I could tell that he really wanted to get the Steel Samurai's autograph. I think he held his inner fangirl in during those three days, but at the end of the last day of trial, I saw him and the Steel Samurai behind the courthouse. I saw that Uncle Edgeworth was sneaking an autograph from him. It was hilarious!"
Mia laughed beautifully and gave her father a hug. "Thanks, Daddy! I was just really bored, and Trucy's with Mr. Polly, so I didn't know what to do."
Phoenix returned the hug tightly. "Of course, sweetheart! I love telling stories to my daughter! Now, let's get some food. I'm hungry."
"How do burgers sound, Mia?
Nick, I heard the word 'burgers'; you know you can't keep me away from that offer!"
