Dear diary:
Today makes two years since the Hazakura incident... And it's taken its toll on all of us. I've spent my fair share of days depressed, Pearly's all broken down, and even Iris, who's usually a calm and collected person, has been moping each time we go visit her. Sister Bikini's not too happy either, she's had a very long face every time I see her either here at the Manor or whenever I go to Hazakura for training. Somehow, y'know, this doesn't feel right.
So I've made my decision. Pearly's grown enough already, and she's responsible way beyond her age. And now that we know she and Iris are half sisters, and that I know the kind of person Iris is, I know for a fact she's not going to leave my dear Pearly alone... I've decided to give her the title of Kurain Master.
I know it's a bit sudden, but hey, everybody who's known us has clearly noticed that her powers are WAY beyond anything I could ever dream of. Plus, I SWEAR the constant bickering among the elders and the branch family is one of the reasons my monthly cramps have been getting worse. (Don't ask.) So I thought if we made her the Master, all of this nonsense would end, and we'd all be happy, right? After all, it's not like I really wanted the title of Master, either.
It'll be tough for all three of us -- me, Pearly and Iris. I'll have to show her the ropes, teach her stuff about diplomacy and stuff, and tell Iris how everything works around here, since Hazakura and Kurain don't exactly work alike. But I feel it's the best choice, in the end. Kurain gets a powerful Master, the branch family gets to shut up, Aunt Morgan gets her wish, and I get rid of this weight on my shoulders. It's a happy ending for all of us.
And it gives me the chance to fulfill my own dream: helping Nick full time with the office. I've been toying with the idea of becoming a lawyer myself, but I'm not sure if I can do it... But still, I want to be near him. I love everything we've done together, and I don't think I've ever enjoyed it more than when we were out there investigating cases. I'd like to go back to those times, and, well, you know, maybe something else will come along the way...
And it would also give me a chance to find out why the hell Nick's been avoiding me so keenly. Ever since a few months after the stuff at Hazakura, he's been giving me the slip incredibly fast every time I call him. I mean, it's all the usual greeting, how are you, I'm fine, and before I know it, he comes up with some weird excuse and hangs up before I can really talk to him. I know he's doing fine, since I'm sure he wouldn't lie to me, but I also feel that there's something missing here.
...Mom, I love you so much. And I miss you so much.
Love,
Maya

Dear diary:
I've finally filled both Pearly and Iris on the Master duties. I'm going to make the announcement tonight, at the village council, that there's gonna be a transitory period, and that I'm renouncing my position as Master and handing it over to Pearly, and leaving Iris as her guardian and advisor. Since I'm the current Master, there's little they can do, although I don't think they'll actually want to do anything, 'cause after all, it's what they want.
And I STILL don't know what the hell is Nick up to. I wish I could talk to him seriously.
Love,
Maya.

Dear diary:
Today's takeover ceremony was a success!! Officially, Pearly's the current Master as of today, with Iris as her guardian and main advisor, and me as an additional advisor. That way I can do whatever I want without letting go entirely of my authority in the village, since I'm SURE Pearly's gonna need some help eventually manhandling this bunch of old geezers and farts. Yay!
Now I gotta call Mr. Edgeworth and ask him to help me find a place in the city while I organize stuff here so I can move out. I wanna surprise Nick when I show up at the office.
Man, speaking of Nick, I wanna see him so hard it hurts.
Love,
Maya

Dear diary:
I finished moving today. Mr. Edgeworth discovered a small hotel with open rooms nearby the office at a really nice price, and I doubt Nick's going to imagine what I'm doing, so it's doubly convenient for me. Speaking of Mr. Edgeworth, he was very nice -- not only did he discover this place for me, he helped me with all the packing and stuff, and even gave me a ride here with all my things. He's an awesome friend, and I'm really thankful for all he's done for me, and for Nick, and for all of us. Tee hee, it was really funny when we finished carrying the stuff to my room; Mr. Edgeworth, always the gentleman, said, "anything else I can do for you, Ms Fey?" So I said, "well, there's one -- it feels, um, you know, a bit weird having you call me Ms. Fey all the time, so is it okay if I ask you to call me Maya?" Oh my god, he was so taken aback at this, and I was giggling so hard, but he ended up smiling and saying "very well, but only if you promise me to call me Miles -- I think, as friends, you have earned that right" and that made me blush so hard.
Hmm... I'm starting to think that, had I known him instead of Nick in the first place, I think I'd have fallen for him, y'know. So when we said goodbye, I gave him a small kiss on the cheek -- as thanks, you know, for all he's done for me. I had to hide my mouth behind my hands after that -- he got so red in the face, and that made such a weird and clashing contrast with his magenta suit, he looked so funny I was about to burst laughing.
I can't wait to let Nick know I'm here. Tomorrow's gonna be a big, BIG day.
Love,
Maya

Dear diary:
I am... Astonished. Or rather, at a loss for words is more like it.
No wonder Nick didn't want to talk to me.
When I got to the office and found this little sign "Wright 'Anything' Agency", I brushed it off as a joke. But when I saw that little girl open the door, and saw Nick coming out of the back rooms like that -- in sweatpants and a tank top and a beanie and STUBBLE, I don't know what came over me. Nick told me he'd been disbarred, and that he'd adopted that little girl. Oh. My. God. I was so shocked and angry and shocked and confused, I seriously don't know what came over me. I started yelling at him. I asked him why didn't he tell me sooner, why he'd hidden this for so long, and I don't know what he said, because he tried to yell back his answers to me and I kept rising my voice and yelling over him and screaming stuff I didn't mean and calling him names and then I slapped him and I stormed out and threw the door when I left and oh my god, I feel so guilty now.
I shouldn't have said all the stuff I said back there. By now I'm sure Nick's probably cursing himself and trying to explain everything to his daughter and brooding over this, and god damn it why can't I stop crying I need to stop crying it was all my fault I wasn't here when he needed me god damn why does it hurt so much I need to stop cryi

Dear diary:
I feel a little calmer now. Sorry I ended up sleeping on you last night, but I felt so horrible. Today I'm gonna go to Nick's and apologize... I shouldn't have said all that stuff in the first place. I know it was not his fault he got disbarred, and it wasn't his fault he had to end up with his little girl either. And... I dunno, I just want to be with him.
So wish me luck, dear diary...
Love,
Maya

Dear diary:
Nick and I made up. I told him I was so sorry for all the stuff I screamed at him the other day, and I told him that even if he wasn't a lawyer anymore, I still wanted to help him -- we could use my channeling powers for the Agency, to help with the income. And even though he didn't need to, he apologized to me for all the stuff he yelled at me too, although he had every reason to do so. Man, it just feels so... unbelievable. I just never thought I'd see the day where Nick wouldn't be a lawyer anymore. (And oh god, he looks so weird with that PaPa beanie of his, but at the same time it just... fits. It's so hard to explain, but it feels so weird and so fitting at the same time...)
I also properly met his daughter today. Her name's Trucy, and she's a lovable little thing. She was a bit scared of me at first because of what she saw the other day, and I don't blame her. But Nick talked her over, and told her I was an old friend, and that what she saw was just something that happened to people who haven't seen each other for a long time, that it didn't mean anything. She considerably warmed up to me after that, and told me she's been with Nick for about two years now, ever since her previous "daddy" disappeared. And if Pearly's any indication, I'm sure Nick's been taking very good care of her. She seems to absolutely adore him, at any rate. And she's an adorable little girl herself -- I could barely keep my hands off her face, and she kept showing me her little magic tricks. She's soooooooooooooooo cute.
I think we're gonna be good friends, and now that I finally drilled into Nick's head that I'd work for the Agency, I think things are going to start looking up. I can only hope, but I do have hope.
Love,
Maya

Dear diary:
I've finally finished moving to Nick's place today -- getting all the stuff I brought with me and some of the stuff I asked Iris to send from Kurain. Speaking of Iris, I spent nearly two hours with her on the phone tonight -- she's such a lovable person. I explained everything that was going on with Nick right now, and she was so sad for him, and I think she was also a little angry at him for not saying anything. Ha! Goes to show that I was at least a little bit right in getting mad at him in the first place.
Anyway, I told her not to mention anything to Pearly yet. I first want to stabilize myself here before I tell her anything, since if I'm to judge, her reaction at Nick having a daughter won't be something easy to handle. I'm gonna have to think real hard about how I'm going to tell her.
Love,
Maya

Dear diary:
Pearly surprised me today, she rang me to my cellphone. I had no idea she'd listened to my conversation with Iris the other day, and she apologized properly for this. I was still a bit mad, but I told her I wouldn't scold her because at least she'd saved me the trouble of explaining everything to her. Apparently she's really happy at the village -- the elders have stopped their constant bickering and Iris keeps showering her with the love Iris herself never had from her sister. I know Pearly's never going to ditch me, but this makes me a bit sad -- I mean, I kinda won't be Pearly's favorite sister anymore (even though we're really cousins, haha). But this is all for the best.
Pearly wants to come by and meet Trucy -- she was so excited when she was talking about it. I'm gonna ask Nick about when we can set up a free day for all of us to go out for a picnic or something. I hope it's soon -- it hasn't been that long since I left Kurain and I miss Pearly and Iris already.
Love,
Maya

Dear diary:
Jesus Christ, what a month! Ever since I started working for the Agency, my life has been turned upside down, it's been so damn hectic in here! Phoenix has to take care of Trucy, Trucy has to take care of her homework, and I have to take care of the both of them, the office, and the jobs I keep getting here and there channeling people. Man, I thought being the Master at Kurain was hard, but this kind of thing should be made illegal!
...But I still enjoy it though. Seeing as I'm with Nick and all. :)
Love,
Maya

Dear diary:
I had no idea taking care of two people was going to be so hard, and that I'd love it as much as I do. It's almost stupid -- Nick keeps lazing off and getting up real late, and ends up getting with Trucy to school barely on time every day, and I have to keep the office clean and organized, and then send Nick to his new job at the Borscht Club (I had no idea he could play piano), and then I have to pick up Trucy at school and help her with homework and make dinner and watch TV with her while we wait for Nick and OH MY GOD THIS IS SO CHAOTIC!
But even if it is, I feel so happy right now, so I don't think it's that bad.
We're planning a family dinner for Christmas' Eve. We're going to invite Pearly and Iris over, I've already got it all planned out: Pearly can squeeze in with Trucy (besides, I'm sure the girls are gonna love having someone their own age to play with before bed!), Iris can take the bed couch we bought at that yard sale last week, and I already pummeled Nick enough into accepting us two sleeping in the same room (he insisted on sleeping on the floor though -- dunno why, the bed's wide enough for both of us). It's gonna be awesome, I swear.
Love,
Maya

Dear diary:
Sorry I won't be able to write much today, but I'm totally wasted. The girls took on to each other immediately, and from that point on, it was almost impossible for us three (Nick, Iris and me) to keep control of them for long. It was a fantastic dinner, though -- not much to pick from, given our budget, but we all felt so at home. As hard as life is hitting us right now, I'm starting to really think I can seriously dig life like this. And Nick looked so cute and when he was reading stories to the girls before bed on Christmas Night. Iris agrees he's a great dad.
Love,
Maya

Dear diary:
We took the girls to the fireworks shows on New Year's and on the next day too. They loved it so much, we had to buy a few fireworks ourselves and set them off for them. I have to admit, though, that show was gorgeous. The way the night sky shined with all those colors was incredible.
Also, Nick gave me a surprise two days ago -- turns out he got his driving license a good while ago, so he asked Miles for his car so we could go for a ride. He was a bit reluctant at first, but Nick said something to him I couldn't hear and Miles finally gave Nick the keys. (I'm sure he thinks we didn't notice, but I saw him giving Nick some cash for the gas along with the keys -- now THAT is what I call a friend.) We went back home and packed up Pearly's and Iris' things and got them down to the car, then drove around for a bit and ended up in Kurain to drop the girls. After we got there and unloaded the luggage we helped Iris look around for a job -- she got one pretty quickly, actually, as a librarian in the local bookstore. She says she doesn't want to feel like a freeloader in Fey Manor, and I totally understand her. The master librarian at the store was a relatively old grandpa, but he was sooo nice. He asked Iris a few questions about her background, then asked Nick and me if we trusted her, and didn't ask anymore and hired her on the spot. She's gonna work mornings to 2PM every day, and saturdays until noon. Since Pearly's at school during the mornings as well, I think that works out pretty well for them.
We got back right on time for Trucy's favorite TV show. We all sat on the couch and snuggled with each other and ended up all falling asleep right there. I loved seeing Nick's and Trucy's sleeping faces yesterday morning when I woke up -- thank god it was sunday and we had nothing to do.
Speaking of sleeping faces -- Nick's been getting lazy lately, and hasn't been properly shaving regularly. But he looks so freaking HOT with that stubble... And I think I'm blushing more than I should right now.
Love,
Maya

Dear diary:
Today marks the third anniversary of my mom's passing. And it hurt so much, I spent almost the entire morning crying. Trucy even got scared and started crying herself, and when Nick came back from getting some vegetables for dinner, he was completely disarmed when he found the two girls at home in tears. He hugged me hard, and he explained to Trucy that today, three years ago, my mom had become a star in the sky, and that I was happy for her to have become a star, but that I missed her a lot and that I felt very lonely and that's why I was crying. And he never let go while he was saying this. I felt so nice, so safe in his arms. I couldn't stop crying, but I didn't feel so lonely anymore. And when Trucy asked me if what her daddy said was true and I said yes, she hugged me so tight and gave me a kiss in my forehead, and said "you don't have to feel lonely anymore, 'cuz me and daddy are here" and I hugged her and I think I cried even harder.
I love this girl so much. So so much. And I love her dad as well. I love him so hard, so stupidly hard.
Love,
Maya

Dear diary:
Today was Mother's Day. I spent the day a little down in my mood. Apparently Trucy noticed somehow, because she spent the entire day clinging to me. I have to admit, it was pretty nice to have her around to chat and stuff.
But the real killer was when we went out for dinner -- Nick managed to get Miles to invite us all to a fancy restaurant, even Franziska was there. And I was SOOOOOO embarrassed when we got home -- I started crying like, right in front of everyone in the restaurant, because Trucy gave me a present, and I told her that it wasn't my birthday, and she said "but today's Mother's Day, and you're my mommy, right? She's my mommy, right, daddy?" And Nick said yes and I was so happy and embarrassed and happy and blushing and happy. I hugged her so tight and kept crying so hard, my makeup was running but I didn't care.
And when we got home and I opened the present, I was so stupidly happy I cried a bit again. Guess what it was, dear diary -- a handmade pink beanie, just like Nick's, with the word MaMa in blue letters, matching his. I don't really know how it happened, but in the little time I've known this girl, I've grown to love her so much, it's almost retarded.
Love,
Maya

Dear diary:
I'm sorry I won't write much today, but you will SO NOT believe what happened today. We were out on a picnic for Father's Day, and everything was going awesome -- the weather was great, I worked my hardest to make Nick's favorite dishes -- all was cool. And when I got the little bottle of fizzy wine (no alcohol, so Trucy could have some) out of the basket and served us our disposable glasses and toasted for Nick's fatherhood, he actually hugged me close and he KISSED ME SO HARD and I was like so flustered and blushing and it was so good and oh my god oh my god oh my god... I think we hadn't kissed like that since that time a few days after my mother died. It felt so freaking good, I felt like I was melting in his arms, and when we pulled away, we were both blushing so hard and the mood was so awkward, and Trucy ended up (again) fixing it in like a second, 'cause she was blushing even harder than us and she pulled her hands off her eyes and said, "well, mommy, you were my mommy before, but I guess now you're my mommy even more, right?" We were laughing so hard at that, I could barely breathe and the tears were coming out of my eyes like a drainage pitch.
I love these two weirdoes so, so, so, so, so, SO much. Don't ask me why, dear diary, I just do.
Love,
Maya
PS: I think given what Nick did today, I guess we're officially a couple now. Pearly's gonna be delighted. -M

Dear diary:
Today we moved to Kurain for a week, since the school year starts on September and Pearly wanted to see us all. I couldn't be more proud of her -- she's been growing into a fine Master and even finer young lady, and Iris has always been by her side. We got one of the Side Rooms for ourselves while we stay at the Fey Manor; Pearly wanted us to take one of the master bedrooms, but they were designed for a single person, and there's no way all three of us would fit in there with all the stuff we brought.
Plus, I wanted to come, because the day after tomorrow is little Truce's birthday, and I want her to have the happiest birthday party she's ever gotten, and having Pearl around to play with her will certainly increase the appeal of the party. Oh lord, look at the time, it's so freaking LATE -- I gotta get to bed early 'cause there's lots of things I'm gonna have to do tomorrow to prepare the party for my little girl.
...Holy cow, it feels so awesome to say that. I love my daughter. I love her so much.
Love,

I'm SO FREAKING SPENT! The party was a huge success, we even invited some of the kids from the village, and they had so much fun, their parents actually had to come by and pick them up from the floor and carry them to their houses. It was great. I'll write some more tomorrow, I'm so tired I can barely read what I'm writing now.

Dear diary:
Nick took me out for a walk last night, and told me he loved me. I was SO nervous and SO excited and SO happy! He said he'd gotten Iris to take care of the girls and that they'd be sleeping in her room that night, so we'd have the night and our room for ourselves. We went to the well near the back of the village, and he sat on the well and pulled me close and kissed me there under the moonlight. It was nothing short of DELICIOUS, dear diary. It felt so awesome, so so awesome... And then we went back to the manor, and we got to our room, and we kissed so hard, and before I know it he's taking off my clothes and I'm taking off his, and he's lying on top of me and we ended up having sex (!) for the first time... At first, it hurt a lot, but Nick was SO lovely and delicate and concerned and attentive, he kept asking me if it hurt, if I wanted to stop, if I felt good... The first time, well, it did hurt, but as the night moved on, the pain eased a little, and it felt really, really good -- we ended up doing it like five or six times, and it felt so much better each time. I guess I know now why everyone keeps saying sex is so damn distracting... I don't think I'm gonna get bored of this any soon. :)
Oh whoops, I think I'm shaking the bed too much writing -- Nick just shuffled and mumbled something. I'll tell you more tomorrow, dear diary -- in the meantime, I have a couple of arms waiting for me to cuddle in them. :)
Love,
Maya

I woke up today in Nick's arms. Gosh, he just feels so GOOD! But today, since we have nothing to do and the girls are on a camping trip with Iris, we're gonna simply laze around in our room and-----------------
Dear diary, Nick here. I just wanted to let you know that I love this weird girl so much. I hope she's not writing anything weird about me in you. Love, Phoenix
Dear diary: I absolutely love this man, but you'll have to excuse me today, I had been planning to spend the day lazing around with my so-called boyfriend, but seems I'm gonna have to swap that for getting a bat and clubbing him over the head so hard his eyes will only be able to see stars for a good while.
Love,
Maya
PS: As much as I hate to admit it right now, I love my life with my hobo and my little girl. :) Had things ended up in some other way, I don't think I'd ever be happier than I am right now. Phoenix Wright, Trucy Wright, I love you guys more than anything else in my life, and I wouldn't change you two for anything in the world.
With all my love,
