Phoenix thought he could get used to using the office computer and the sound of him tapping away at the keyboard. There was a sense of satisfaction hearing the tap tap tappity knowing that each one was contributing to easing his workload. It was strangely therapeutic picking at the keys doing the two finger bash, as Maya called it.

But then this weird feeling of actually doing something productive came to a shuddering halt when he looked up from the keyboard and realised nothing he had just typed was appearing on the screen.

"Maya!" he yelled over the sounds of the TV and the crunching of chips. "The computer isn't working!"



"Wow Nick, you're amazing! Only you'd be able to crash the computer just by typing.


She hits three keys: Ctrl + Alt + Del, and suddenly their faces are bathed in a neon blue glow. "Ah! It's the blue screen of death!


Sorry Nick, there's no hope now! She's going under! We're going to have to put her out of her misery!" And she hits the reset button.


"What did you just do?


She hits the reset button and the screen goes black. what did you dooooooo

i just reset it~



There is a sinking feeling as clicks to open his documents and sees nothing but a white screen. "Maya! I just lost all the work I did this afternoon!"

There is a digital clock shoved in the corner, red numbers saying 11:58 PM.

Pearl would usually be asleep by this time, but she can't because it's New Year's Eve and there are four too many people in the apartment meant for one. Five pairs of shoes line the entrance, when there's usually three or two or one, though more often than not there are none.

The radio's humming in the background, the words of the commentators lost amidst the laughter. There are cans of beer lying about "Don't drink those, Pearly! They make you old and dumb like Nick!" and the mess of half-eaten food on the table and pillows scattered on the floors and couch make the apartment look messier than it usually is. Pearl runs to Edgeworth and Phoenix with her arms outstretched like she wants to be picked up but it's Gumshoe who scoops her up and carries her on his shoulders with a whoop.

The numbers on the digital clock flicker as the eight changes to a nine.

The music from the radio quiets until it's almost muted, but there are voices reminding the listeners that there will be fireworks any second if everyone will all count down with them starting from ten.

Everyone in this apartment meant for one has eyes on the sky now, waiting for the fireworks. Maya and Gumshoe are counting down at the top of their lungs, but Pearl isn't to be outdone and waves her arms wildly, cheering. She nearly falls off Gumshoe's shoulders but Phoenix catches her, though he nearly drops the little girl. Maya tries to convince Gumshoe to carry her on his back and soon Gumshoe is busy fighting off two girls trying to hang off his arms.

Edgeworth leans against the rails of the too small balcony. He doesn't need to turn to know that it's Phoenix standing beside him. He can smell the faint whiff of alcohol before he feels the light kiss that misses the corner of his mouth and brushes his cheek instead.

"Happy new year," Phoenix whispers too cheerfully, gripping his empty can of beer too tightly.

Edgeworth tilts his head to look at Phoenix through the corners of his eyes. "You're too early, Wright."

And the digital clock's numbers quietly clicked over to 12:00 AM.
