Yep, this is a really short Ace Short. I didn't want to stretch it out too much because stuff like this gets boring after a short while. Anyway, enjoy. ^^
Dahlia Hawthorne(well, really Iris Hawthorne) and Phoenix Wright were what seemed like the most randomly paired couple in the history of the universe. But it seemed today, Dahlia was fond of Phoenix - which wasn't particularly normal (although she was really Iris at this point). After about an hour walking around the park, Phoenix turned to look at her, a confused expression on his face.
"Hey, wasn't your hair ginger yesterday?" He asked, particularly confused. He was sure the day before that it was black, as well. And then the day before that it may have been ginger. Phoenix was very confused. Did she really need to dye it that often? He pondered this, while Iris(in disguise as Dahlia) stuttered to think up an answer.
"Well, um, yes... I-I'm sure it was this colour yesterday. M-maybe you're colour blind? Yes, that's probably it..." She bowed her head, embarrassed(well, actually, appalled that she could lie to Phoenix so easily).
"Woah! You know, you could be right. I've always thought this world was less colourful than it could be..." Phoenix seemed to take this pretty well, which shocked Iris, but she tried not to show it. He bought the lie - she didn't want to have to lie to explain why she had to lie to him on top of that. So she just nodded, and tried not to make herself feel too guilty about it.
Doug Swallows stood in front of Phoenix that dreaded day - the day Doug died, killed by none other than Dahlia Hawthorne. But, of course, that's not relevant right now. So let's just get to the main point.
"She's bad news, Wright. I'm not particularly fond of you, but it's for your own good that you stay away from Dahlia Hawthorne." Doug told Phoenix as sincerely as he could, but of course, Phoenix Wright wasn't one to ever believe the one thing he needed to believe.
"Y-you're lying! Y-you're j-just jealous!" Phoenix stuttered - partially from denial, and partially because he was freezing out in the rain. Of course, he had become pretty suspicious too, but, being Phoenix Wright, he didn't really take that very seriously at all.
"Oh, come on, Wright. Surely even you weren't dumb enough to not notice the way her hair just suddenly changes from black to ginger all the time." Doug sniggered slightly at this, and it insulted Phoenix incredibly. How dare he! Obviously, he wasn't aware of his condition, either. Using it against Dollie like that - it was just cruel.
"Surely even you weren't dumb enough to realize you're colour blind!" He shouted. Phoenix was absolutely furious. How dare he! Doug's face went blank as soon as he heard this.
"Colour-blind? Really?" He replied, staring at Phoenix like he was crazy. Does he actually buy this crap? Doug had heard that Phoenix wasn't the brightest crayon in the box - more a grey than a yellow - this was just unbelievable. Either he was really into Dahlia...
Or he was just plain stupid.
"Listen, Wright. I don't want to be the one to break it to you, but that's a load of bull. Obviously she's been lying to you - can you not see that?"
"I can see it about as clearly as I can see colours." He smiled cockily at Doug, as if he'd proved a point - although he hadn't, not even in the slightest. He decided to drop that line of thinking and move on, giving up on ever showing Phoenix he could see colours perfectly fine, it was Dahlia (and partially Iris, although Doug didn't really know a heck of a lot about her) that had been in the wrong. He patted him on the shoulder lightly.
"Yes, yes, okay, the world is just colour-blind. Whatever you say."
Despite the obvious "let's move along" sarcasm, Phoenix considered to smile in his "I told you so" way.
This guy really is clueless...
