Ch 1: A Walk In the Park

In the morning, The Wright Anything Agency is extremely abnormal when compared to other homes. On the weekends, many other homes get to wake on their own time but this is never the case about the Wright Anything Agency. Every day at 6:00 AM sharp, a young attorney by the name of Apollo Justice wakes up and begins his daily Chords of Steel exercises. These exercises are so loud that they wake everyone else in the Agency: the veteran attorney Phoenix Wright, his adopted daughter Trucy, and the newcomer attorney Athena Cykes. Normally, they pay no mind to Apollo's loud yelling, but today Athena had just about reached her limit.

Athena climbed out of her bed and slipped on her usual attire of a yellow suit and skirt with a white blouse. After adjusting her tie and placing Widget around her neck, she walked out and began down the hall to give Apollo a piece of her mind. As she walked, she could hear Trucy and Phoenix groaning about how it was the weekend and that it was too early to do anything. She found Apollo's door and flung it open with an expression of serious anger on her face.

Just after Apollo finished his Chords of Steel workout, he realized that something was very, very wrong. He turned his head upon hearing a loud sound and saw Athena. Apollo, not knowing why Athena was so angry, simply said "Good morning".

"Yeah, a great morning indeed. Being woken up at 6 AM ON A SATURDAY is just how I wanted to start my day" responded Athena. "

"Sorry, but you know I HAVE to do my Chords of Steel or else my voice gets soft", replied Apollo in a somewhat whiny tone.

"Really, because sometimes your voice gets very raspy and it's hard to understand," Athena said, "And you sound like a singer from one of those rock bands."

"That may be true but how would you like it if you couldn't have orange juice after a workout?" countered Apollo.

"I would hate that! It's like taking away Widget," Athena whined.

"And that's how I feel when I can't do my Chords of Steel!" replied an annoyed Apollo.

"But you don't need your Chords of Steel in the morning on the weekend," Athena said, lunging for Apollo's CD player.

"Don't touch my CD Player!" Apollo yelled using his Chords of Steel, causing Athena to cringe.

In this moment of hesitation, Apollo grabbed the CD player on his desk and began for the door. Just then, Phoenix walked into the room confused and a bit annoyed.

"What going on here?", he asked with a coffee mug in his hand.

"I was practicing my Chords of Steel and then Athena showed up" replied Apollo.

"More like you woke up the entire city before suggesting I can't get my orange juice!" Athena responded in a fiery manner.

After a few quiet moments, Phoenix took a sip of the coffee and mulled over the situation until he came up with a brilliant idea. "Now now, let's not argue", he stated, "I have a solution to the problem".

"What is it?" exclaimed the two younger attorneys.

"I propose to the both of you a challenge to go this whole weekend without something you see as essential to your lives. For you Apollo, no Chords of Steel or yelling for the rest of the weekend" stated Phoenix.

"No way! I NEED to practice Mr. Wright! The weekend is when I get my power training in!", exclaimed Apollo.

"And for Athena no orange juice for the weekend" Phoenix continued unmoved by Apollo's antics.

"Mr. Wright you can't possibly do this!", responded an astonished Athena.

"As I stated earlier this is a challenge. In challenges does the winner not get a reward?", Phoenix remarked. Now he had the interest of both younger attorneys. "The winner gets to make the loser do whatever they want for a day", Phoenix proclaimed with a large smile across his face.

"First one who breaks and performs the forbidden action loses. I am the judge of this challenge and Trucy will assist me with this", stated Phoenix. Trucy walked in the room, dressed in her magician's outfit. The smile on her face was telling Athena that the young girl would very much enjoy this contest and how it played out.

"The challenge begins now!" Trucy exclaimed, eagerly looking forward to the outcome.

"Man this will be a piece of cake!" stated Apollo with an aura of confidence about him.

"That's what you think, but for me it will be a walk in the park!" cheered the equally confident Athena.

The four people at The Wright Anything Agency sat down together to have breakfast and after getting a slice of toast, Apollo reached for the orange juice and started to pour a glass for everyone at the table. Realizing what he was up to, Athena grabbed the jug of juice and put it back in the fridge before he could pour it her glass. "If he's going to go on the offensive then I will too!", Athena thought to herself. She smirked quickly and then grabbed at the two horns of hair on Apollo's head and pulled them with all of her strength. Apollo normally would have yelled at Athena in this situation, but he remembered Phoenix's challenge and instead cleverly replied "Nice try". Athena released her grip, realizing her tactic was not working, and left the room to create a new idea. In her mind, there was no way she was going to lose this challenge.

Apollo finished breakfast and without his Chords of Steel to work on, he felt clueless on what to do next. While thinking about where to go, Trucy took the opportunity to start a conversation.

"Hey Polly, are you trying to think about what to do?" she asked innocently.

"No. I'm all good", he bluntly responded.

"You look awfully perplexed to me", Trucy remarked.

"You don't say", Apollo said in a sarcastic manner.

The girl took no notice and replied, "I have an idea. What if you and I go to People Park? It's not that far and we can have fun together!"

"That's actually an excellent idea", replied Apollo and the duo set off to the park that was close to the agency.

Athena was finding her side of the challenge easy to uphold but there was always that need for a drink. She had to consciously remind herself not to work out so as to avoid the orange juice. She needed ways to get Apollo to fold but how would she find them. Destroying his CD player? Viable but Mr. Wright would make her replace it. Telling him Klavier Gavin was more awesome than him? A really good idea but Apollo would probably respond by ignoring it and waiting to take vengeance. She lay on her bed hopelessly thinking and it was in this moment that she came up with a solution. "I got it!" she exclaimed to nobody in particular. All she needed to do was remove his bracelet from him and hide it! That would send him into a flying rage for sure! "It's so evil that it's perfect!" chirped Widget. Now all she had to do was find Apollo.

Apollo and Trucy were walking through People Park and enjoying themselves. They already had several fun experiences that included climbing trees, playing with a Frisbee that Trucy conjured from her magic panties and currently they were throwing water balloons at each other. Apollo had no idea where Trucy got the water balloons from and the fact they were already filled presented an even greater mystery. Apollo managed to hit Trucy several times but the young magician didn't have the best aim and kept missing.

The challenge Phoenix had proposed was still in his mind and he had to get Athena to lose. He just didn't know how. A water balloon whizzed by his head and exploded when it hit a tree behind him. Suddenly, he thought of a great idea that he hoped would work. If he got hit by a balloon and feigned unconsciousness then Trucy would go back to the Agency and tell Phoenix. Athena's sensitive hearing would cause her to pick up the whole conversation causing her to rush to him. Then she would be so tired, that she simply could not resist the temptation of orange juice.

"Hey Trucy! I'm going stand still now so it's easier for you. You should be able to hit me with that wonderful aim of yours" Apollo jested.

"Come on Polly that's not very nice!" Trucy complained with a bit of anger. She pelted a water balloon and hit him square on his large forehead. She was horrified when Apollo staggered a bit after the impact and then fell to the floor, seemingly unconscious. She rushed over to his body and shook him a bit.

"Polly". No response. "Polly". Again no response. "Polly come on, wake up!" Apollo did not stir and laid motionless. Trucy began to grow nervous and after shaking him a few more times, she bolted straight back to the Wright Anything Agency to get help from either her father or Athena. After running for about one minute, Trucy flung open the door and screamed "Daddy! Athena! Polly's unconscious!". Phoenix heard the news and quickly rose from his desk. Athena did likewise, concerned about the well-being of her partner. By the time they got to the door, Trucy was beginning to cry.

"I hit him with a *sob* water balloon *sob* and he fell *sob* and he won't *sob* wake up" she cried.

Phoenix rushed over to his daughter and gave her a hug in order to quell the tears that were spouting from her eyes. Athena empathized with Trucy, but realized this would be her chance to get at his bracelet. When Trucy stopped crying, the trio rushed out to People Park to get Apollo back to the Agency.

Apollo laid there for what seemed like an eternity. He had planned this all too perfectly. His fake unconsciousness disguised by him sleeping under the shade of a tree, he was able to relax and let all his worries evaporate. That lasted until he heard three distinct voices of Phoenix, Trucy and Athena. He felt Trucy shake him and then heard a peculiar conversation arise.

"How do you plan to get him back to the Agency?" Phoenix inquired to his daughter.

"Maybe we could carry him!" replied the magician.

"Leave that to me, after all it would help me work out my arms as well" replied a confident Athena.

"Are you sure? Because that would look really awkward and it would be hard to handle the task alone" Phoenix replied, dubious of Athena's suggestion.

"Yeah I am sure. Over the past year Apollo and I have bonded so much that I wouldn't hesitate to be kind to him. And plus it's not like he'll wake up in my arms" added Athena.

"That would be really awkward if he did. You and Polly would look weird but hey I can see some chemistry!" Trucy giggled.

"You can't seriously think, t-that Apollo and I would" stammered Athena before she was cut off by Phoenix.

"Now now Trucy. Let's not tease them" he stated calmly. After that he leaned into his daughter's ear and whispered "Yet". Both father and daughter laughed while Athena furiously responded "You guys know that my idea comes from the kindness in my heart!"

Apollo then felt a weird tugging feeling on his wrist. No it couldn't be! His bracelet was reacting to Athena's statement and at this moment in time there was only one thing he could do. He had to find the truth. He felt his senses dull and his eyesight became superhuman, all he had to do was to perceive Athena's tell and figure out if her actions were really based on kindness. Apollo kept his eyes as closed as he could and carefully searched for something that would give away her ambitions. When Athena said kindness, her right hand seemed to slightly twitch so Apollo zeroed in on the area. For the rest of the statement the tell repeated itself so Apollo told himself "Gotcha Athena!" and began to think of what could make her want to carry him.

Apollo immediately thought about the challenge and thought about what Athena would do that would make him yell. At first he thought she would drop him on the road but the wondered if she could even lift him. What else could he not part with that was essential to his life? The bracelet! Upon this realization he slipped his bracelet off his wrist and placed it in his pocket.

"Athena you should run back to the agency and set up a couch that we can lay him on" commanded Phoenix, "Trucy and I will lift him and carry him back".

Athena glanced at Apollo to make sure he had his bracelet on so she could steal it for later. She was shocked to find that somehow, his bracelet had vanished from off his wrist. Wondering what happened to it, she sprinted back to the Wright Anything Agency, the only place where she thought it could be.

After Athena left, Apollo knew it was time to make his move. As soon as Trucy touched him, he quickly stood up and explained his whole plan to Phoenix who smiled appreciatively at Apollo's cunning. Trucy was relieved that the water balloon did not cause any serious damage and the three left the park together, laughing all the while. During the walk, Apollo slipped his bracelet on just in case he needed it again.

Athena ran in to the Agency and swiftly cleared a few files off of a couch for Apollo to rest on. The combination of her running and doing some moderate lifting made her work up a sweat and the craving for orange juice beckoned more than ever. On the inside she was dying for orange juice and used the fact nobody else was at the Agency was beneficial. She snuck over to the fridge and grabbed a tiny paper cup from on top of the fridge. She quickly poured herself a glass of juice and was about to drink it when the door opened.

"Hey Athena! We're back!" yelled Trucy.

"Apollo woke up just after you left. So we don't need that couch now. Your enthusiasm is certainly appreciated though" added Phoenix.

Apollo walked into the kitchen and saw Athena milling about with a cup in her hand.

"What's in the cup?" Apollo asked.

"Water" Athena calmly lied, noticing Trucy approach the fridge with her heightened hearing. Athena dumped the contents of the cup down the sink, hoping Apollo would notice. Trucy had now reached the fridge and opened it to grab an apple. Athena became very nervous when Trucy eyed the orange juice, but the nerves were gone when Trucy picked up the red fruit and began snacking.

The rest of the night was permeated by a tense atmosphere as both Athena and Apollo stayed away from each other in order to try and get through the day without losing the challenge. Apollo became bored extremely quickly and realized that if he challenged Athena to a competition, she would naturally be inclined to participate and would try to win at all costs. Apollo ran over to Trucy's room to ask for a certain item to set his plan in motion.

Athena decide to spend time writing in her diary to chronicle some of the crazy events that had happened and upon finishing her entry, she went to her bedside to put the diary away in her nightside table. As soon as she looked up, she saw Apollo on the sidewalk with 3 gallons of orange juice and a black bag. Wondering what he was up to, she tracked him walking down the sidewalk and turning the corner towards the agency. Believing that the juice was for temptation purposes, she rolled her eyes and thought about how idiotic Apollo could really be.

Apollo walked into the Wright Anything Agency with his orange juice and black bag in tow and headed straight for the kitchen. He dumped out the contents of his black bag, which contained water balloons, bananas and paper cups. He knew Athena was upstairs so he took the time to fill the balloons with orange juice. Then he took the bananas, peeled them and stored the edible portion inside the freezer. All he had to do was wait.

Apollo made sure to finish his dinner early so he could set up his trap just right. He quickly went to the stairs and placed the banana peels at the top and waited on the office couch. To make it look he was doing something, he picked a random issue of National Geographic and began to read. He saw Phoenix and Trucy head to Phoenix's office on the lower level so all he had to do was wait for Athena to go up the stairs.

After dinner, Athena was in a pleasant mood and began to walk up the stairs to take a shower. When she reached the top of the stairs, a pleasant surprise was waiting for her. She slipped on the banana peel and yelped as she fell down the stairs. Apollo sprang into action and dumped a cup of orange juice on Athena after firing at her with several orange juice balloons. Several of these balloons and the cup found their mark and some of the juice went into her mouth, allowing the young attorney to savor the taste of the forgotten beverage only to realize a second later that she lost the challenge. Her competitiveness kicked in and in the moment even a draw was better than a loss. She saw Apollo planting the cup beside her, and realized he was staging the entire scene. Without any other option, she pulled Apollo down by the arm.

"AAAAAAAAAAGH" Apollo screamed as he fell to the floor.

His face was only a few inches in front of Athena's and for a moment their eyes connected, his brown eyes gazing into the ocean of her blue eyes. He swore he could have seen a smile come across Athena's face but was soon snapped back to reality by Trucy's giggling.

"Daddy you were right. It is like a match made in heaven" Trucy said while Phoenix smiled knowingly and laughed along with his daughter.

Both young attorneys rose with their faces a deep red in color and Phoenix stated "Well since both of you lost the challenge-"

"OBJECTION" yelled Athena, "I never drank any orange juice!"

"OBJECTION" yelled Phoenix, "I have evidence in the form of video footage that you did!"

Athena piped down knowing that it was probably true and that Trucy set up a video camera. Apollo couldn't even object because he knew his scream was audible and that any denial would be useless.

"Anyway, since both of you lost, it looks like you guys are both going to have to do what I say!" Phoenix stated gleefully. Both of the younger attorneys groaned as their boss listed the number of chores they would do around the agency tomorrow. Trucy stood by her father's side and filed away in the back of her mind the scene that had just unfolded in front of her. Blackmailing both of them now would be just like a walk in the park.
