Chapter 2
-----------------------
August chided over to Pearl and started to count under her breath. “One, two, three…”
“AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!” Phoenix and Maya screamed in unison and jolted into sitting up straight as August burst out laughing upon seeing their faces. Pearl, after taking a good look, couldn’t help but join August in her laughter. After about screaming for slightly less than a minute, Phoenix and Maya both knew that they would die of suffocation if they continued to scream any longer.
Then Maya, being the brighter one, turned to face the giggling Pearl and August and realized that this was probably their doing. “Pearl, did you do this?” Maya asked with a “bigger-than-Mt. Everest” hint of irritation. “Ummm…Pearl, who is that girl beside you who is currently laughing her little head off?” Phoenix joined in.
August immediately stopped laughing and walked towards Phoenix. “My name is August.” she said while patting his shoulder, having difficulty reaching it even while Phoenix was in a sitting position. “Did you know? That you scream like a girl?” she asked with a very serious expression.
“How can you scream like that in front of your special someone? In fact, you shouldn’t scream at all.” August continued, doing a perfect Pearl-clasping-her-hands-on-her-cheeks impression.
Pearl, not noticing August’s imitation, nodded her head to show her agreement. She frowned and said, “Mr Nick, you scream just like Maya does! And Maya doesn’t scream like a man.”
“B-but…” Pheonix argued, turning crimson. “No excuses.” August interrupted curtly. Maya, who had been listening to this interesting conversation the entire time, then started to talk. “How did Nick get beside my bed?”
“I transported him here.” August smirked. Suddenly, she started skipping in a circle around Phoenix and Maya, singing “Mr Nick and Maya sitting beside me, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.” Pearl, along with Maya and Phoenix, stared at her but for a different reason. “August, what does that spell?” she asked.
“Ask Mystic Maya!” she told Pearl while smiling innocently. “It’s times like these when I hate my life…” Phoenix mumbled. Pearl, forgetting all about her question, immediately stepped up to him and said with a scowl, “But Mystic Maya brightens it up, right? That’s why you keep living.”
“Umm, nononono, it’s not that…” Phoenix started to say. But before he could continue, August smacked him on the head with Maya’s pillow. “Wow, you beat Pearly to it.” Maya uttered. “Pearl! How many times must I tell you that Nick and I aren’t in love!” she wailed.
“Oh, no no. You guys have potential chemistry sparking between each other.” August grinned. “Since when did kids learn stuff so deep?” Phoenix muttered. “Since now.” August replied, whacking his head with the pillow forcefully.
“Ouch!”
“How old are you?” Maya asked, taking a good look at August’s face. “Six.” August directed her attention to Maya and said. “Do you have a problem with that?” she asked innocently. “Erm, no.” Maya answered sheepishly.
Abruptly, August presented some photos and announced, “I took these while you were asleep beside each other.” The group huddled around August’s outstretched arms and took a look. Each photo was angled such that it seemed that Phoenix and Maya were sleeping together and not beside each other.
Phoenix tried snatching the photos in vain but August was already prepared for it and had already slided them into a pouch in front of her shirt. “I could blackmail you if you ever denied that you love Maya ever again.” she beamed.

Chapter 3

Chapter Summary: Edgeworth’s turn. Mwahahahaha.
“Take me to Edgeworth’s office or I will blackmail you too.” August continued. This resulted in Phoenix, Maya, Pearl and August walking to the Prosecutor’s building at 6 in the morning. Along the way, Pearl and August explained about August’s powers and August repeated what she had told Pearl to Phoenix and Maya.
“Well, here we are.” Phoenix mumbled as they reached a tall and very modern-styled building. “You wait for us outside.” August said. Thus, she and Pearl headed towards the Prosecutor’s lobby while Phoenix and Maya discussed on how August took photos without a camera.
“I prepared these especially for this occasion.” August produced a long roll of paper from her shirt pouch although it obviously could not fit in there. “What’s that?” Pearl asked. “You’ll see later.” August replied while darting her eyes around. “What are you looking for?” Pearl asked.
“I’m checking whether there’s anyone here because we are going to teleport into Edgeworth’s office since I know what it looks like (don’t ask me) and if anyone catches us they might arrest us as aliens.” August managed to say in one breath.
The lobby turned into a familiar prosecutor’s office. August started to unroll the roll of paper, gesturing to Pearl to help her. Soon after, the completely unrolled roll of paper revealed itseld to be a long banner.
On the banner written in colorful markers were the words “Edgeworth and Franziska”. Furthermore, the banner had been decorated with many cartoon Edgeworths and Franziskas with countless hearts.
August grabbed one end of the banner and climbed up Edgeworth’s bookcase ladder. She got some blu-tack from her pouch and plastered the corner of the banner to the wall above the bookcase. Then, she made some gestures, taking another blu-tack out. The blu-tack rose in the air along with the other corner of the banner and plastered itself to the other wall.
“I should have done that earlier.” August complained to herself.
She led Pearl to under the desk and crouched there with her. “Wait for Edgeworth. I want to see his face.” she smiled as she pictured the scene. “However, I am quite upset about the high possibility of Edgeworth destroying my beautiful banner.” she added sadly.
“At least we get to see Edgeworth’s face. That’s priceless and probably worth it.” Pearl attempted to comfort August with kind words. August then smiled again and nodded in silent agreement.
The two watched the door for who knows how long until it finally gave a creak and slowly opened.
