District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 1, 2:24 PM
Nick's POV
I just stood there, looking at Mia. I wanted to say something, but my body and mouth wouldn't move.
Nick: M-Mia?
Judy: Correction. It's Maya channeling Mia.
I just hugged her and I could feel tears in my eyes.
Nick: I'm so sorry! I'm so…
Mia: It's okay Nick. You couldn't have known that I was going to be murdered. I saw the trouble you and your friends went to help me… and Maya! Congratulations Phoenix!
Nick: Yeah man. Thank you so much. I'm just sorry I put through that much trouble.
Phoenix: Don't worry about it. I'm just glad I got you off the hook, but I couldn't have done it without Judy and the Chief.
Mia: *giggle* I'm the Chief anymore Phoenix. So just call me Mia! You guys are lucky I was born a Fey.
Nick: Thanks to you too Carrots. By the way, where did you guys get that list?
Bogo: It was me.
Judy: Chief! You!
Bogo: Remember that I told you I was in a meeting? Well I told Clawhauser to bring me a list of people that White had blackmailed. I thought about what Wilde had said and he's right. The only way to let go of your fears is to stand up to it. I got to tell you I was smiling the whole way through. Seeing the blackmailer to get blackmailed himself.
Nick: Chief… *Laughing* Oh wow Chief! I didn't think you had it in you!
Bogo: *sigh* I still feel bad about what happened 15 years ago. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. And Mia, I'm so sorry about your mother…
Mia: Bogo. I forgive you 15 years ago and I still forgive you now. And I'm very grateful for all of you for what you did for me and Maya. I'll never forget this as long as I live.
Nick: Well we had a good teacher. We were just doing our jobs Ch… I mean, Mia.
Mia: … Well my time here's running out.
Phoenix: Huh?
Mia: Maya's powers are still weak. I can't stay here that long.
Phoenix: W-what!? No! There's still so much to say!
Mia: Don't worry. I'm sure we'll meet again.
Judy: We're going to miss you Mia. The office just won't be the same.
Mia: Don't worry. I'm sure you guys will to great without me. As long as you three just believe in your clients and work hard enough, everything will be fine.
Bogo: Oh, by the way. Nick, Judy, and Phoenix, can you guys stop by the police station at about 5:00?
Mia: And can you also stop by my office tonight… say, 9:00?
Nick: Sure.
Bogo: Thanks, see you two later.
ZPD Police Station, 4:55PM
Nick's POV
We were at the police station and I saw a podium and tons of other officers. Most of them were congratulating me, Phoenix, and Judy for getting the case solved. Some even gave us gifts and wished me and Judy some luck out there.
We sat down in a seat and saw the Chief making his way to the podium.
Bogo: Fellow officers, this week has been an interesting week for us. I'm sure some of us are still missing Mia a lot. She was a great defense lawyer, a great person. She would always help people in need even if it's tough. She was always there for us for the past 15 years. I've helped her a lot, as she helped me. She will be gravely missed, but thanks to the finest officers, Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps and the defense lawyer, Mr. Phoenix Wright. They were able to find the true killer and put him in jail after all these years. Mia was surely proud and that's why we are honor to reward our heroes with the best defense team award!
I stood up and the Chief handed me, Judy, and Phoenix the award. Wasn't anything special, but I did felt the honor on having it. Everyone was shouting "Speech!" I looked at Judy; she just waved her arms, as I made my way to the podium.
Nick: Thank you everybody for your support. I must say, one month of being in the force and already it's changed my life for the best. If you would have told me as a kid that I would be joining the police. I would have believed you. If you were to tell me that as a teenager, I probably laugh, but really the real people you should thank are my partners and friends, Judy Hopps, and Phoenix Wright. They've done as much of the work as well as I did and if it wasn't for them I probably would never have done any of this. They're the real reason on why I'm here and why I will protect the people in need. Thank you.
As soon as I was done, the crowd was cheering even more. I turned and saw Judy almost ready to cry. I just looked and she just hugged me and Phoenix just look at me with a handshake.
We stayed for a little bit and had a party. By the time we were done we left and head to the Fey & Co. Law Offices.
Fey & Co. Law Offices, 9:02 PM
Judy's POV
It's feels strange being in here. It's hard to image that Mia was murder in this very place, it feels so... normal.
?: You came!
Phoenix: Mia…?
?: I was kinda worried you might not.
Judy: Of course we came…
?: Well then! I'm pretty hungry. How about a burger?
Nick: … Okay Maya, come on out.
?: Oh poo! How did you know?
Nick: Trust me. I know the real Mia and I would try that trick too if I was a tod. Thought I must admit you almost got us.
Maya: Hmm… Maybe I should be a little bit more careful on how I sound.
Phoenix: Anyway, what are you doing here?
Maya: Because of this! See? Mia wrote you guys a letter.
I picked up the letter and began to read it.
Judy: "Dear Nick and Judy, please take care of Maya for me. She'll be living with you two in your apartment for now on. Also take care of the office; it belongs to you and Phoenix now."
I looked at the last bit one more time.
Judy: Wait… so are you saying that…?
Maya: Yep, I get to live with you and I'm you're guys' co-worker. Maya Fey, reporting for the Wright and Co. Law Offices! ...Mother.
I looked at her and I get see a tear in her eyes. Nick just walked up and hugged her; I always like this side about Nick.
Maya: And Phoenix. I hope you mind me on calling you Nick. Mia says that's what your friend Larry calls you.
Nick: And what am I to you?
Maya: A father.
Nick: Father it is then.
Phoenix: Wright and Co. Law Office. I like it. What about you guys?
Judy: I love it.
Nick: It suits you. Partners?
He put his hand out and I just joined in.
Judy: Partners, always.
We all joined in. The more I think about, I am going to miss Mia a lot, but not all of it looks like it'll be too bad. I still have Nick, Phoenix, and a new member to the group. I wouldn't have any other way.
Maya: Hey! Let's go out to celebrate!? Burgers are on me! I know a good burger joint around here. Let's go!
Phoenix: Hey wait up!
Mia: Good luck everyone. I'll always be here… watching.
