this is simply fabulous [very old]

“KRISSIE! LOOK AT THIS!” a young, German boy shoted, thrusting a poster into his older brother’s face. “Can we go? Please!”

The older brother sighed and snatched the poster away from his younger sibling. The Gavin brothers were almost identical, other than age, and Kristoph’s glasses. Both tall and thin, with a drill of long blonde hair over one shoulder. Kristoph looked at the poster.

“A carnival?” he asked his brother. Kristoph wasn’t one for fun and games, he was more of a hard working man. Unless he had to paint his nails, of course, then work could wait.

“Yes!” Klavier shouted as he jumped up and down, his hair-drill bouncing on his shoulder. “Please! I want to ride all the rides and drink milkshakes and have fattening food from a shady van! Please, big brother!”

“Okay. I suppose we can go for a short while. When is it? I can’t see a date on this poster…” replied Kristoph, squinting his eyes and checking over the poster.

“It started an hour ago, Krissie!” yelled Klavier, grabbing his older brothers hand and dragging him out of his armchair and towards the front door.

Kristoph grabbed his keys from a table whilst Klavier was dragging him through their house, and then watched as Klavier practically fell through the front door. He locked the door and looked around. Klavier was already half way down the long garden path.

“Klavier. Wait for me” Kristoph frowned as he slowly walked through the overgrown garden. Klavier ran back towards him and circled him for a bit in excitement.

“Krissie! What are we gonna do first?” said Klavier his eyes wide with excitement, as he imagined his time at the carnival.

“I don’t know, Klavier.” replied Kristoph, pushing his glasses firther up his nose and looking down at his brother, who had now started walking. “I don’t know what there is at a carnival”

“YOU DON’T?!” shouted Klavier, who stopped walking and stood magnetised to the spot with shock at his brother’s announcement. “DID YOU NOT SEE THE POSTER?”

“Well, yes” said Kristoph, unaware that his brother had stopped walking some time ago. “But I didn’t see what was ON the poster. You were waving it in my face.”

“Oh” replied the younger Gavin. “Well…

There’s ferris wheels, and lucky dips,

Test-your-strength and burger vans,

Happy times for one and all,

Prizzes for a special few!

Tea-cups, Walt-zers,

Sometimes even funny clowns,

Dinosaurs, magic acts,

Strong men and funny hats…”

“STOP.” Shouted Kristoph, turning around to see his brother doing an all out song and dance in the middle of the street. “That’s enough singing. You’ll never make it as a musician, Klavier.”

“But…” said Klavier, his eyes watering a little as he ran up to his brother. Kristoph could be harsh at times. They began walking upn a steep hill in complete silence. Well, silence other than the occasional whimper from Klavier as he tried not to cry at his brother’s mean words.

“Where did you learn that song, anyway?” asked Kristoph, trying not to look at his brother’s sad little face, but start a conversation to get rid of the awkwardness that had grown in the last few minutes.

“It was on the TV. There was a clown and he was talking about the- OH MY GOD!” Klavier finished as they saw a ferris wheel over the top of the hill. He grabbed Kristoph’s hand and ran down the kill and through the large, flagged gate. On top of the gate, there was a sign which read “BIG BERRY C RNIVAL” the ‘A’ was laying on the floor to the side of the gate.

Kristoph was dragged all the way around the carnival, for several hours. They did everything mentioned in the song - twice. They ate some burgers from the greasy man running the burger van (Kristoph only pretened to eat his, he really fed it to a dog), and then Klavier threw his up on the ferris wheel. After getting off the ferris wheel, they apologised to the blue haired girl who was so unfortunate as to get some of Klavier’s burger on her sleeve as it went down. She whipped them, and then left to collect her dog, which was tied up beside the ferris wheel. The dog then vomited on her shoes. Kristoph giggled under his breath. And got whipped again.

Eventually, it started to get dark, and the booths started closing one by one. The final booth left open was called “knock-em-down”. It was one of those where you had to knock down all of the bottles to win a prize.

“Krissie, can I try, please?” begged Klavier, tugging on his brother’s shirt. Kristoph sighed and handed his brother some money to pay the scary looking woman who was running the stand. She gave Klavier some balls to throw at the milk bottles on the shelf. Klavier threw the first ball. It missed. By a lot. He threw the second. The top bottle fell off. He threw the third and final ball, and knocked all of the bottles down! At least, he thought he did. After a few seconds of cheering he looked at where the falled bottles had been, and they were all standing up.

“I thought I won?!” He shouted. “They were all down a second ago!”

“Tough nuggets” screeched the woman behind the counter. Klavier started welling up again. He knew that he had knocked all of the bottles down, but one was standing again. How was that even possible?

“Excuse me.” came Kristoph’s voice. “What does that string below the bottle do?” He winked at Klavier. Klavier knew that his big brother was going to fix it. He always did.

“What string?” said the woman, standing in front of the bottles, tying to conseal the string.

“This one” replied Kristoph, hopping over the counter, ignoring the shouts of the owner.

“Oh! That string!“ She laughed. ! It don’t do anything. It’s a good luck charm.for me” Kristoph pulled on the string. Nothing happened. Klavier frowned. His brother couldn’t fix it.

“Hold on, Klavier. She’s lying. I can tell.” He knocked the bottle over with his hand, and then pulle don the string. It stood up again. “You’re a cheat” he sneered, hopping back over the counter and grabbing Klavier by the hand. “C’mon, Klavier. We’re going to tell on her”

“No! Anything but that!” She pleaded. “I’ll give him the prize, just don’t tell anyone. I need this job.”

“Klavier, will you accept this offer?” Kristoph asked, laughing.

“Of course! Pink elephant, PINK ELEPHAAAAAANT!” Klavier yelled at the woman behind the counter.

The woman fubled behind the counter for a while before producing a large pink elephant toy. She tried to give it to Klavier, but I was to big, so Kristoph reluctantly carried.

“Umm.. Krissie..” started Klavier.

“Yes?” replied the older brother.

“One last thing before we leave?”

“What, Klavier?”

“Candyfloss.”

“Definitely.” Yelled Kristoph, who wasn’t very good at hiding his secret candyfloss addiction. “Pink? To match the elephant, I mean,”

“Okay!” replied Klavier, as he hugged the huge pink elephant in his brothers arms.

They went over to the candyfloss stand, and the smiley man in the striped hat behind the machine made them extra large candyfloss sticks, in pink, to match the elephant.

“Klavier…” whisperes Kristoph, as they walked home, candyfloss in hand. "This is simply fabulous."

gross out larry [very old]

Larry and Mia go for dinner after Nick's first case is solved.

But for arguments sake, what happened on the dinner date? And what happens if Mia ISN'T killed? :]

Because Larry was like "WELL HELLO DAR!" but then Nick's all emo like "I MISS MIA!"

But then they all still meet Maya.

NOT GUILTY.

The people watching the trial cheered as the verdict was handed down. Larry Butz had been declared not guilty for the murder of Miss Cindy Stone. The prosecutor, Winston Payne was standing with his face in his hands, as his title of “rookie killer“ flew out of the window.

The defence for the case was Phoenix Wright and Mia Fey. Mia was a well know defence lawyer in town. She always fought for what was right. If the person she was defending was definitely not the criminal, she would try her hardest to get him a acquittal, if they were, in fact, guilty and just trying to pin the crime on someone else, she wouldn’t let it slide. She’d make sure they went down. She had no need for perfect win records, as long as the truth was discovered.

Phoenix Wright, however, was a complete newbie to the courtroom. Well, not completely, in his high-school years he had been on trial for murder in this very courthouse - something he would never forget,, after all, that was the first time he met Mia Fey. He was a new lawyer, though, but he did a good job, with his mentor Mia helping him along the way, he cornered the witness, Mr. Sawhit into confessing.

People began leaving the courtroom. Phoenix and Mia walked together through the large door, Phoenix with a huge smile on his face after winning his first trial. Mia was proud. Phoenix had worked hard, even if she had done a lot of the thinking, he figured most of it out for himself, plus, he was new. He couldn’t be expected to be an ace attorney from the very first case- or could he?

Phoenix kept on walking, unaware that Larry Butz had grabbed Mia by the arm and dragged her off to the side of the lobby.

“So. Now that this is all over, how about we go out to dinner?” he asked her, winking.

“I don’t think so, Mr. Butz.”

“Why not? C’mon. I’ll treat you. Uhh..” he searched through his pockets for money, or anything that might impress her. “… I haven’t got any money with me now, but I’ll get some from the bank, and we can have a nice romantic meal. What do you say?”

“Mr. Butz. I. Do. Not. Want. To. Go. Out. With. You.” she said slowly, before walking past him to catch up with Phoenix. Larry stood there alone, trying not to look like a man that just got rejected. He looked around for a second, and then a creepy smile came upon his face. He had a plan.

“Hey! Mia” He shouted across the lobby, running in the direction that she went. “Hey! Wait up! You too, Nick!”

“What, Larry?” said Phoenix, after being bumped into by Larry, who didn’t quite grasp the concept of ‘look where you are going when you are running’

“I need to talk to Mia. It’s important, about our date.” he said.

“What date?” asked Mia. She knew he had a plan, and now it was time for her to formulate her own.

“Ahaha, you!” Larry said. “We never agreed on a time. We’re so silly. How is right now? Now is good for me”

“Mia… You’re dating the Butz?” said Phoenix, trying to cover up a laugh.

“Yes. Yes I am” said Mia, smiling. “But I can’t do now. How about you pick me up at 7:30 tonight? I’ll be waiting.” She winked, flipped her hair and walked off, leaving Phoenix and Larry both standing with their mouths wide open.

“Well, Nick. It seems I have a date. See you later, I gotta go buy some stuff to make me smell nice.”

7:30 came around, and Mia was sitting on the steps outside Fey & Co. Law Offices with Phoenix. She was wearing frayed denim shorts and a lot of eyeliner. Her face was caked with foundation, and she had large hoops protruding from her ear lobes. When she turned up in this outfit, Phoenix was left speechless. She told him it was because she wanted to keep up with the fashions. Phoenix believed her. He had no idea about fashion. It was all a part of her plan. Her plan to make Larry see girls as more than pretty dolls. Mia had through about telling Phoenix about her plan, but she remembered from the case earlier that day that Phoenix and Larry were childhood friends, and she didn’t want Phoenix to let it slip to Larry that Mia didn’t really want a date with him, although, he really should of known from back in the courthouse lobby. Was he really that stupid?

At 7:40, Larry turned up in a beat-up old car. Mia was actually quite surprised that it moved. Oh well. “Lets see where he takes us” she thought. She said bye to Phoenix, and got into the car.

“Oi, Lazza. Where we goin’, yeh? she said in the roughest voice she could do. Her plan was in action. Objective: Gross out the Butz.

“Umm, we’re going to this nice burger place. It’s all I could afford, but next time we’ll go somewhere special.”

“Oh right. I well like burgers. I fink I’ll have 3. No, 4. And fries. Yeh.” she said, and wiped her nose on her wrist. Larry didn’t look at her the rest of the time that they were in the car. He just drove with his eyes looking straight forward. Mia’s plan was working.

Back as Fey & Co. Law Offices, A girl in a strange outfit with long black hair was ringing the doorbell. Phoenix was inside playing on the computer. He heard the buzz of the doorbell and got up to answer it.

“YOU’RE NOT MY SISTER” yelled the girl as Phoenix pulled the door open.

“Well done.” he said, sarcastically, to the girl.

“Where is she?” The girl asked. “Mia Fey. She said that she would be here. Where is she?” The girl shouted. She was very loud, considering she was quite small.

“She’s gone out.” Phoenix said.

“What do you mean she’s gone out? She said she would be here. 8pm she said. She said “Maya, turn up at 8pm and I’ll be there” and y’know what, I think you’re hiding her. LET ME IN.” She pushed Phoenix to the side and entered the offices. Phoenix just shut the door and went back to his game of snake on the computer. The snake had crashed into the wall.

“I can’t find her.” said the girl, as she sat down on the sofa opposite Phoenix’s desk. “I’m Maya. Fey, spirit medium in training.” she smiled at him. Phoenix could tell that this was Mia’s sister. They looked so similar.

“Hello, Maya.” replied Phoenix. “My name is Phoenix Wright. I work with your sister.”

“Does that mean that you know where she is?” asked Maya.

“I know that she is out on a date, but I don’t know where that date is taking place.” he said.

“Oh.” Maya frowned and looked down at the floor. “I can’t believe she forgot about me. It’s been so long since we’ve seen each other, too…”

GRRBRRGLEERRGG.

“What was that?” asked Phoenix. The noise seemed to come from no where, and it was terrifying.

“I haven’t eaten in a while” laughed Maya. “Umm.. Do you have any food?”

“No. Sorry.”

“Then you better take me to get some. I know a good burger place. Mia used to take me there. Come on” she stood up and grabbed Phoenix’s arm.

She had been so down about Mia a second ago, that Phoenix through she deserved a treat, and allowed her to take down to a little place named “Bear Burgre”

“Is that sign supposed to say Burger”? asked Phoenix, noting that the sign had been spelled wrong.

“It doesn’t matter. Just get in there” Maya pushed him through the door and up to the counter. “Two Burgres please” she smiled at the nice looking lady behind he counter. “Oh, and one for him, too!” she added.

They sat down at a table near the windows. Phoenix looked around the restaurant, and across the other side of the room were Mia and Larry. He made a personal note not to let Maya know that her sister was over there, because it was probably better that they didn’t have a fight whilst Mia was dressed as a slut. It might ruin her reputation a little. Phoenix was actually quite glad to see Mia. He’d missed her being around the office. She hardly ever had nights off, they were pretty much always together. Phoenix was okay with admitting to himself that he had a little crush on her, and it had really rather annoyed him when Larry flirted with her.

Mia was getting annoyed with Larry. He didn’t seem to be minding her appearance, or her manners. She had spent the last thirty minutes talking with her mouth open. She refused to give in. She started using words with lots of P’s in, so that food sprayed over him when she spoke. He started flinching a little when she replied. He was finally getting bothered by it. Good. She had had quite enough of acting like this. It was time to have a chat with Larry.

“Butz.” she said, spraying him with fries and ketchup “what made you want to go out with me?”

“Well, you’re very pretty… and.. Umm.. This is a bad time to ask that question. Are you feeling okay? You were.. Different earlier”

“Oh, dat. Yah, dat wuz my profeshinol way ov speakin’ I tawk like dis really. You gon’ eat dat? She grabbed a handful of fries from his plate.

Phoenix watched and laughed from his table with Maya. He knew what was going on now, and he knew that if anyone deserved it, it was the Butz.

“Oh. Well. Umm. I don’t think you’re what I’m looking for, Mia. I was looking for someone who doesn’t .. um.. How do I say this? Gross me out.”

Larry stood up and turned to leave. Mia laughed at him, and he turned back to face her.

“Larry, are you still going to judge girls by their looks?”

“What do you mean? Why are you talking normally again?” Larry asked, thoroughly confused.

“When you saw me at the courthouse today, and decided to ask me out, why was that?”

“Because you’re smokin’ hot. At least, you were then. You look a little trampy now.”

“All of this, Larry, was to teach you a lesson. Don’t judge a book by it’s cover. For all you know, I might have really been like this outside of court.” She stood up, and spotted Phoenix watching them across the restaurant. “Bye Larry”

Mia walked over to the table where Phoenix was sitting. He was alone, Maya had gone to the toilet.

“Hey.” she smiled and sat down with them. “I hope you weren’t spying on me

“Of course not” Phoenix blushed. Did she notice that? He hoped not. Mia leaned across and hugged him.

“I’m glad it’s over. I really don’t like Larry. I know he’s your friend and everything, Nick, but he’s kind of gross.”

“I know. It’s like we always say “if something smells, it’s usually the Butz”” Phoenix replied. Mia laughed. She put her hand over his on the table, just as Maya walked towards them, returning from the toilet.

“Hold on. I thought you said she was on a date?” Maya asked Phoenix, who went bright red. Mia gasped and put her hand over her mouth.

“Maya! Oh my gosh! I completely forgot that you were coming today. I’m so sorry!” she apologized. “Can I make it up to you?”

“I suppose there is one way, sis. You can get changed. What the heck are you wearing, I mean c’mon, tell her, Nick!”

“Uhh.. Yeah. What she said” Laughed Phoenix.

“And I want another burger, sis. Then I’ll love you again. Deal?”

“Deal.”
