This one is rather unique to my other stories. Heheh... I will make OneShots like this more often.
Larry: Where I'm the main character? Go ahead!
Apollo: P-Please take that back, Mr. Butz.
Larry: But Apollo, there should always be media where I am the main character!
Phoenix:
(You're not the main character in this one...) Why are you always so happy to be here? Appearing is a curse, not a blessing.
Larry: Because I'm more normal than you guys. *smiles*

-August 17, 4:00 PM-
-Wright and Co. Anything Agency-
Phoenix: Did they just fuse all the names the agency has been through? It's the Wright Anything Agency.
Apollo: It seems like it.
Edgeworth: Well, this is just a wonderful start.
Quote:
It was a stormy day. Lightning was striking the same place too many times, as giant pillows keep exploding. Phoenix was sitting in his office, drinking coffee as Maya was sitting on the couch. Phoenix was-
Phoenix: Lightning struck the same place too many times and giant pillows kept exploding...?
Larry: Huh, is that some kind of metaphor?
Edgeworth: Larry, it's amazing that you still don't notice
why you're always dumped.
Larry: W-WHAT?! How dare you! H-Have you even had a girlfriend? Oh yeah, you and Nick think you're better than me because you're always with cute girls, huh? W-Well....I have a new girlfriend already and her name is Jess.
Phoenix: Why'd you drag me into this?
Larry: Because I bet that's what you think too.
Everyone but Larry: *Speechless*
Quote:
"No, no... Bad idea," said Athena.
Phoenix: Wait, so we jump from a normal day at the office to Athena saying this is....a bad idea?
Edgeworth: This is a fic about Athena, remember?
Speakers:
Yo, Edgeyworth-dawg, where'd you find that out?Apollo: The title, we all figured out atleast this much.
Edgeworth: And it's Edgeworth, not Edgeyworth.
Speakers:
We can call you what we want, Ruffley Prosecutor.Edgeworth: *glare*
Quote:
Athena presses the backspace button for a bit. "Hm..." said Athena.
Oh, it appears our friend Athena is typing fanfiction!
Apollo: Our friend...?
Phoenix: Great, now we have a narrator. This keeps getting better and better.
Edgeworth: Well, at least the exploding pillows are gone.
Quote:
"Ugh... This is just too hard..." said Athena. "... Wait, I think I got a hilarious idea."
Phoenix: So we go from a pairing to a "hilarious idea"? I think they got the essence of fan fiction writers down very well.
Edgeworth: I have to agree with you, Wright. But I doubt they did this on purpose.
Phoenix: *sigh* Of course.
Quote:
She opens Widget, but turned to the Documents Icon instead. She then closes it.
"Now, time to force a random pair of people together!" exclaimed Athena.
Apollo: Great idea. "Hey, random civilian #1, I want you to fall in love with random civilian #2!"
Phoenix: "Okay person I've never met, wish me luck!"
Edgeworth: This will actually happen in the fic, won't it?
Phoenix: Probably.
Quote:
Athena then walks out to find a random pair of people.
Apollo: Welcome to "How to Write Fan Fiction 101"
Edgeworth: This is pretty accurate, from what I can tell.
Quote:
...
Phoenix: "..." indeed.

-Gourd Lake Public Beach-
Edgeworth: G-Gourd Lake...? Why here of all places?
Larry: To find the great Larry Butz of course!
Edgeworth: I think most people would try and get AWAY from you. *shakes head*
Larry: Since when do you know anything about other people? *sticks out tongue*
Edgeworth: Ngh...
Quote:
Athena was hiding in a bush, with keeping Widget less bright, but not too dark she couldn't see the screen. A keyboard appeared on screen. "Ok, now time to wait," said Athena.
Speakers:
*Muffled speech* Never do something like *speakers turn off*Apollo and Phoenix: A-Athena?! *look up at speakers*
Speakers:
*cough* Errr...Hey dudes, we got some errr....minor....difficulties at the moment, we'll have to pause the fic for a little bit....[
The lights turn back on]
Apollo: T-This is too far...even for them...
Edgeworth: Ngh...and there's...nothing we can do.
Speakers:
No don't you dare- if you- Ha! What'll you do? Hit us? I'm sorry, but that won't work.*The speakers went quiet and weren't heard for another hour*Larry: We need to rescue her! I can't leave a damsel in distress all by herself!
Apollo: That's really err...nice of you, but I doubt that'd do anything but put you next in line for a punishment sporking...
Larry: If it means getting another smoking hot girlfriend, then it's completely worth it!
Phoenix: S-She's 18...
Edgeworth: That's not a valid argument, Wright, however I do agree that it would just end up getting worse if you attempted this, Larry.
[
It took a whole hour to dissuade Larry, and by the time they had the speakers came back online.]
Speakers:
Hey dudes, everything has been...fixed. Haha, you may re-enter the Sporking Theater.Phoenix: Stop with the act, I think I know who you really are.
Speakers:
Well, it's about time, I got a bit bored making stuff up. Thank you, Wright.Apollo: Wait...him? Why
him?!Speakers:
Because I'm so cute, how could they not want me?Edgeworth: He's insane... drop this line of questioning, we should return to the sporking....so nothing happens to us or Athena.
Speakers:
Aww, Worthy, why must you ruin my fun?Larry: Okay...who
is this guy?
Phoenix: A horrible person, that's all you need to know.
Speakers:
Aw...now you've hurt my feelings!Apollo: I didn't know you had feelings.
[the lights dim]
Speakers:
Now, if you want your item to stay safe, I suggest you continue.And she seems to really enjoy the room we put her in. It's like a more cramped, even more fun for us Sporking Theater. How cute.Quote:
She realized she made an awful mistake, as only Larry was there.
Larry: Heh, why would a girl be so sad about this? It is me, the Great Butz-ini after all!
Edgeworth: I can think of millions of reasons.
Larry: Y-Yeah...but your opinion's usually silly! Eheh...
Apollo: This coming from you?
Larry: Y-You don't even know me!
Apollo:
(I think I've learnt enough in this session...)Quote:
"... Huh?" asked Larry.
He turned to the bush to see a long ponytail stick out of the bush, with a blue bow attached.
Phoenix: And the Best Hiding Spot of All Time award goes to.......Fic-Athena!
Speakers:
Hey, it's better than something you could come up with.Phoenix: Is that Athena or not?
Speakers:
Hmmm...is it?Quote:
"...!" exclaimed Athena. She jumped out. "Ok, time to go to another place to type fanfiction!"
Apollo: Yes, just
exclaim your plans in front of one of the people you were planning to write about...genius!
Speakers:
Like you mouth-breathers know anything about genius.Larry: Nick, Edgey, why does his voice keep changing?
Speakers:
Hey, no spoilers, dawg...*laughs*Phoenix: *grits teeth* I'll tell you later, Larry.
Quote:
"... Fanfiction?!" exclaimed Larry. He followed her.
Apollo: Yes, what the heck is "Fan Fiction"?
Speakers:
And why does it sound so wonderful?Edgeworth: *wags finger* Anything would sound wonderful in that warped mind of yours.
Speakers:
Oh, Edgey-Poo, how could you say something like that to me?Edgeworth:
(I would actually prefer that old woman right now...)Quote:
-August 17, 4:20 PM-
-Tres Bien-
Larry: I've never heard of this place...Hey Edgey, you're always going to fancy restaurants can you tell me anything about it?
Speakers:
Ooh, za it is my restaurant! It's ze wonderful, za?Phoenix: That's a horrible impression of Mr. Armstrong.
Speakers:
Well even one as perfect as I makes mistakes sometimes...however rare they may be.Edgeworth: Mr. von Karma would never admit to making a mistake, so add another failure to your list. *smirk*
Speakers:
EDGEWOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARTH!Quote:
"Why are we here again?" asked Athena.
Apollo: It seems we're all thinking the same thing...
Speakers:
Speak for yourself, pal! I personally love Tres Bien!Edgeworth: Your impressions seem to be getting worse and worse. *points*
Speakers:
Well you all already know who I am, why would I be doing my all?Edgeworth: *crosses arms* Touche.
Larry: I don't know who he is...
Quote:
"Because, French-ish Restaurants have many couples," said Larry. "That's a good idea to get your Fanfiction started."
Phoenix:
Since when does Larry know so much about fan-fics?
Larry: The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma, you should know this, Nick.
Edgeworth: *smirks* He has a point.
Quote:
"But... No one's here..." said Athena.
"... Alright, but let's order some cheese puffs before we go," said Larry.
Larry: This does sound like something I'd do...
Edgeworth: Hmph, I agree with you there.
Phoenix: No objections here.
Apollo: None here, either.
Larry: What the hey, guys? You're supposed to say, "No, Larry is much smarter than that".
Edgeworth: So you want us to lie? *shrugs*
Quote:
"(Cheese puffs? Now I understand the Ish part,)" thought Athena.
...
Phoenix: Wait a minute....are those ellipses the line breaks? That's stupid!
Speakers:
Come on, Nick, line breaks don't have to be lines, stop being so narrow minded!Apollo: M-My head...
Phoenix: Let's just try and get this over with as quickly as possible...

-Prosecutor's Offices-
Edgeworth: Prosecutor is Offices?
Phoenix: I've got it...Edgeworth, in reality you are Office-r Edgeworth!
*crickets*
Speakers:
Ah, Wrighto, you think after last time we wouldn't fix the speakers and cameras? Please put more faith in us.Quote:
"Larry, why?!" asked Athena with an angry expression.
Edgeworth: My thoughts exactly, but I must know why is Ms. Cykes on a first-name basis with Larry all of a sudden?
Phoenix: It's not even really worth commenting on first-name basis problems anymore.
Edgeworth: I do it in hopes of them fixing it.
Quote:
"Because, you dating Blackquil will give you ideas for your fiction," said Larry.
"... Larry, Cykesquil was meant to be a touching heartwarming story, and then the fan base went overboard to make someone who used to... Ugh, I can't explain this. Ok, so he's 28, and fans are shipping him with an 18 year old girl," said Athena, who turned to see Larry peeping into an office.
Phoenix: And then the fourth wall died.
Apollo: Rest in Peace.
Edgeworth: Why is Cykesquill supposedly a heartwarming story here? If the two names are fused together, it is clearly a shipping.
Phoenix: This is hardly like you at all, Edgeworth. That doesn't always mean a shipping.
Edgeworth: Yes, but this is fan fiction, and she is apparently looking for a shipping.
Quote:
"Athena, hide somewhere near this door," said Larry.
Athena hides behind a potted plant. A large one.
Apollo: Athena really likes hiding behind plants in this fic. First a bush, now a potted plant.
Speakers:
What the heck, Apollo? I only hid behind them two times!Quote:
Larry hides with her, and presses a camera icon, and puts it next to the document.
Edgeworth: What document? This makes less sense by the minute.
Phoenix: The door-cument!
Apollo: Mr. Wright...please stop.
Larry: Hey, since when do I use cameras? I'm not a stupid journalist!
Quote:
"What?" asked Athena.
Larry presses a button to use a camera inside that office.
Edgeworth: "To use a camera
inside the office?"
Phoenix: Larry has super powers now, apparently.
Larry: I always have.
Speakers:
Hmph, reduced brain capacity, perhaps.Larry: What the heck, Edgey?
Edgeworth: *crosses arms* That wasn't me, Larry.
Quote:
A teal haired woman was making out with someone in a green coat.
Edgeworth: What?
Phoenix: Is that....and....why? I just...no...of all the pairs...
Larry: Is it that detective and Franzy?
Apollo: Hmm...?
Larry: B-But I'm much better than that stupid detective! Franzy was supposed to be mine!
Phoenix: What happened to your new girlfriend? And Athena?
Larry: They're old news, Nick!
Phoenix:
(Darn it, Larry...)Quote:
"What am I looking at?" asked Athena.
Edgeworth: My thoughts exactly.
Phoenix: I really hope it's not what I think it is.
Quote:
"Gumshoe and Franzy, making out!" exclaimed Larry.
All: ...
Apollo: Wait...is it that detective you're always talking about? And that von Karma?
Phoenix: *head in hands* Yes...it is...
(Brain bleach...please)Edgeworth: *staring blankly* What?
Larry: I never knew those two liked each other.
Edgeworth: Maybe they do. But not in
this way.
Speakers:
What a foolishly foolish piece of foolish fiction, I can't believe someone could be this foolish!Edgeworth: That's a bit too many "foolish"es.
Phoenix: Maybe to you, but she uses even more "foolish"es when speaking to me...
Quote:
"... Larry, this is unable to help me at all," said Athena.
Edgeworth: What you set out for was a pairing. You should be happy now.
Apollo: Because then we wouldn't have to suffer through more of this.
Quote:
"... Oh, you don't want my help anymore? SEE YA, B-" started Larry before Athena slapped him until he was unconscious.
Edgeworth: That's quite an amusing image *rolls eyes* ...But it's not like Larry to swear.
Larry: Edgey, are you okay? You like you're about to explode.
Edgeworth: Well, I feel like I'm about to appear and say something incredibly stu-
Quote:
"... Ok, now to look elsewhere-" said Athena.
Edgeworth was in front of her. "O-oh, Edgeworth..."
"Miss Cykes, you realize you were hiding behind a large potted plant in the hallway, right?" asked Edgeworth.
Edgeworth: ...I really didn't want to be right.
Phoenix: Well you were.
Apollo: This is just grand.
Speakers:
I agree, sir! And it's just going to get better!Edgeworth: ...
Quote:
"... GUMSHOE'S MAKING OUT WITH FRANZISKA IN HER OFFICE!" exclaimed Athena.
Phoenix: So what, Fic-Athena? You would be the one in trouble for
watching them make out, not them for being in love.
Edgeworth: You're right, Wright.
Phoenix: Yes, I am Wright. *grins*
Edgeworth: *facepalms*
Quote:
"... What?" asked Edgeworth.
Edgeworth: What indeed.
Quote:
"You two are like brother and sister, so I felt you need to know," said Athena.
"And with that, I'm protecting my sister from my cousin," said Edgeworth.
Edgeworth: .............What? What did he just say? Gumshoe is my
cousin?Apollo: M-Mr. Wright...I think he's just about snapped.
Phoenix: Calm down Edgeworth...
Speakers:
Oh this is grand, it seems he's finally snapped. Join the dark side, Edgeworth.Phoenix: Well, Edgeworth's not the kind to get this angry, he's going to calm down...right?
Edgeworth: ...Y-Yes...I'm fine.
Quote:
"Edgeworth, Gumshoe's your cousin?" asked Athena.
"Yes. Why do you think he still has a salary?" asked Edgeworth. He walks into the room, as Athena walks off back to the office.
Edgeworth: No. He's a friend, even if I struggle with admitting it.
Apollo: You just admitted it...
Edgeworth: I suppose I did. *crosses arms*
Quote:
...
-August 17, 5:23 PM-
-Wright and Co. Anything Agency-
Phoenix: Wright Anything Agency...
Edgeworth: You're lucky they only butchered the name of your agency, and not your family.
Quote:
Athena sat back down at her desk. Her fanfiction is flawed... Because nothing was there.
"..." went Athena.
Phoenix: What a well thought out sentence.
Edgeworth: Why can't she just write about Gumshoe and Franziska's relationship which exists in this universe?
Apollo: That would make too much sense.
Quote:
"Hey, Athena," said Apollo.
Apollo: And what will they do to my character now?
Quote:
Apollo just returned from Trucy's Play.
Phoenix: Two things, firstly, Trucy wouldn't do a "play" unless it involved magic. Secondly, why would Apollo go and not me?
Edgeworth: *points* Just be happy you haven't appeared yet.
Phoenix: Good point.
Quote:
"... Oh, hey Apollo," said Athena.
"... What's wrong?" asked Apollo.
Phoenix: "Oh, I just wasted my entire day running around with Larry Butz."
Larry: Wasted? She was with
me. How is that a waste?
Speakers:
It's almost like you want us to make fun of you.Larry: You're so mean today, Edgey.
Quote:
"I spent the last hour trying to get a fanfiction idea," said Athena.
"What are you writing about?" asked Apollo.
Phoenix: "Nothing, just have a look at my draft where I wrote nothing! Yay!"
Quote:
"A Romance Novel..." said Athena.
"Let me see your draft," said Apollo.
Phoenix: N-Novel? I'm speechless.
Edgeworth: As am I.
Quote:
Athena hit the undo button for a while.
"... Athena, Fanfiction is stuff you make up. Not stuff that already happened," said Apollo.
Apollo: Mr. Wright, it's not even worth commenting on "that" any more. They clearly forgot they said that.
Phoenix: ...You're right...I hope this finishes soon...
Quote:
"..." went Athena.
Phoenix: Another incredibly well thought out sentence.
Quote:
Apollo kisses her on her forehead. "Well, I'm off to buy groceries for the mini fridge. Just needed to get my wallet."
Apollo: ...What? It just
casually says I kissed her on the forehead? *holds head in hands*
Phoenix: Maybe you've been a couple for years in this fic. I mean, apparently Edgeworth is Gumshoe's cousin so it wouldn't be that far fetched.
Edgeworth: Don't remind me, Wright...
Quote:
He picks up his Wallet he left on his desk.
"See ya, Athena," said Apollo.
Edgeworth: They couldn't say he just picked up his wallet?
Apollo: No, they needed to know where I put it. *rolls eyes*
Larry: If I ever need money I'll just take that.
Apollo: ...
Quote:
"Bye..." said Athena.
Apollo closes the door. It took one minute for Athena to realize Apollo just kissed her on her forehead.
"... OH!" exclaimed Athena.
Apollo: This will only end up making it worse, won't it?
Phoenix: I think it's probably nearly over.
Speakers:
Is it?Phoenix: You tell us, is it?
Quote:
She then types random Justicykes Fanfiction.
"... Wait, what the heck?" asked Athena. "This is literally a memoir of my love life."
Edgeworth: Random? So she didn't even know what she was writing?
Phoenix: Well, I guess it might be pretty realistic as to what goes on in the heads of bad fan fiction writers...
Speakers:
Come on, Mr. Wright! Why would you say that about me?Quote:
She secretly posted under Pearl's account.
"Yep, now Pearl will be responsible for this fiction," said Athena.
She relaxes as she logs out quickly. "... Hang on... Wasn't I expecting a story I could post to make my account more popular...?" asked Athena to herself.
Athena sat in silence as a sudden video appeared. A 10 Hour Extended video of Fukkireta.
...
Phoenix: Wait...that's a line break...does that mean there's more?
