-Nervous? — Ren asked.
-Nervous? Who? Me? No. I’m not nervous. — Phoenix answered.
-Right… I’m the one nervous here. — Ren replied.
-Ren, sarcasm called. He wants his job back.
Ren laughed. Of all the people, he couldn’t imagine his mentor could bring such an answer.
-Ouch… And people said I’m the sarcastic one.
-You’re always sarcastic Ren. That’s a fact.
-Yeah, right. Like I was the only one.
-True, but at least I hold myself on, unlike you.
-Yeah, you know you’re dodging the question, right?
-I know, I know… It just…
Phoenix sighed tiredly. He knew he could count on Ren's help, but his nervousness was bestowing him. Of all the times, Phoenix wished to not be nervous at that one.
-Hey, relax. She accepted your proposal years ago, so what do you think she’ll say no?
-It’s not about Sae I am worried about. Is about me.
-Really?
-No Ren, I’m worried aliens attack the church when I was going to say yes.
Ren squeaked with his mentor's answer but laughed.
-Ouch… No need to be harsh… I was- No I am worried about you.
-I know… Sorry ‘bout that…
Ren smiled at Phoenix.
-Relax… I know how you feel.
-Tae’s unshakable behavior, huh?
-Until that day. She never saw that one coming from me.
-You took too much time to ask her in marriage.
-Do you know we banged on our first date, right? It was more too soon.
-But she accepted. Anyway, is not about you and Tae. I had got off the topic, again. — Phoenix sighed again. — I am worried to freak out. I love Sae, and of course, I want to marry her, but…
Ren sighed and smiled at Phoenix again, that time a gentle one.
-Phoenix, you had come this far to get frightened now. I know how is to get nervous like that, but at times like that, we need to remember what is the most important things in our lives. The reasons we’ve made us come so far and keep fighting. That’s what we need to do.
Phoenix smiled back at Ren.
-Thank you. You always managed to remind me of the most important things.
-Well, that is what friends are for, right?
-Yeah. Phew! Now I feel ready… Except for this damn tie. I tried to fix it but to no avail.
Both Ren and Phoenix heard a knock and Apollo, Klavier and Miles went inside the dressing room.
-Mr. Wright.
-Herr Wright.
-Apollo, Klavier. — Phoenix and Ren said. Miles glanced at Phoenix’s tie.
-You’re not going to your wedding ceremony with your tie like that, right?
-Sorry. I’m nervous.
-I figured it out. Let me handle this.
Phoenix gave Miles the black tie and Miles enlace the tie around Phoenix’s neck, making the tie knot.
-So, you still nervous?
-I was. Ren helped me to calm down.
Miles raised an eyebrow.
-Really?
-No, Miles. He was contacting aliens to attack the church during the ceremony.
-In preference when Chief Nick was going to say yes, Chief Miles. I want to see the place burns.
Apollo, Phoenix, and Klavier laughed as Miles just sighed seeing Ren chuckling.
-You two honestly… — The chief prosecutor commented with disappointment. — Well, done. With that, you are finally ready for the ceremony.
-Wow. You truly look dapper Herr Wright. Especially with your hair down. — Klavier commented. Phoenix toyed with a lock of his hair like Ren usually does when he's nervous.
-Well, thanks… I decided to change my look a little just for today. Besides, is good to change once in a while, won’t you agree.
-Ja, I totally agree.
-I agree with Klavier. I imagine how Sae is looking now. I bet she’s stunning than ever.
Phoenix laughed.
-I agree with you. Just don’t let Ema hear you right now.
Apollo gets embarrassed and everyone laughed at Apollo.
-Ouch… I do hope Ema didn’t hear me right now.
-Relax Pollo. She’s not here. Besides, it is Sae day as well, so is the rule she looks stunning as ever. I’m waiting to see her as well.
-Klavier, Trucy’s behind you.
Klavier jumped and everyone laughed at the Rockstar prosecutor.
-Achtung! I’d never expected that Herr Forehead. — Klavier commented.
-Hey, when since you started to call me like that again? — Apollo asked.
-Since you put my girlfriend in the middle of a joke.
-Well, excuse me prince, but she is my sister and…
-And what Polly?
Apollo jumped frightened. Trucy was stood in front of the dressing room entrance, bouncing slightly on her feet. At her side was Thalassa, smiling at everyone.
-Since when you two were standing there? — Phoenix asked.
-Since Apollo reply. — Trucy answered. — So Polly, what were you saying to Klavier?
-Nothing! Nothing at all… Please don’t make me your assistant again. — Apollo begged. Trucy laughed.
-Relax Polly, I’m just teasing you.
-Trucy Wright, you better run, because here comes Justice!
Trucy ran away laughing and Apollo went after her. Everyone started to laugh at the scene.
-Hah… I’ll miss those moments… — Thalassa commented. — Apollo is married and now Trucy is dating… I’m getting old.
-Thalassa, you look excellent for someone in your middle-forties. I dare to say you look even younger than before. — Phoenix commented and Thalassa chucked.
-Thank you for praising me Mr. Wright, but I have to accept the fact I’m not getting younger.
-True, but you still stunning as always. — Ren said.
-Thank you, Phoenix, Ren. Speaking of you, I saw Tae.
-Yeah, I bring her to Los Angeles to meet the city, aside from the marriage, of course.
-I see… How you two are doing?
-We’re doing great. I’m so happier with her.
-Yeah, we can see that. — Miles commented. — I can’t believe two years passed.
-True. Two years… — Klavier, Apollo, and Ren said.
-But I’m happy. I going to marry today and is one of the happiest days of my life.
-True.
-Yeah, I agree with you, Chief Nick. And nothing can go wrong.
-Ren, for God’s Sake, don’t say that. Every single time you say that something goes wrong. — Phoenix begged desperately, scaring Ren.
-Okay, okay! I’m sorry, all right?
-All right… — Phoenix sighed. — I truly hope nothing goes wrong.
-Us too.
Phoenix checked the time on his wristwatch.
-It’s almost time. Let’s go, everyone.
-Let’s go, Daddy! — Trucy exclaimed, walking back with her brother.
-You two are back.
-Yeah, Polly tickled me. That’s was low, even for him.
Apollo laughed.
-Is not my fault if you are so sensitive.
-DO you want to be my assistant, Polly? — Trucy threatened and Apollo raised both hands.
-No… Please… Thank you…
Everyone laughed.
-Let’s go. It’s time.
At the chapel, Phoenix stood with Miles and Apollo, Maya and Thalassa, waiting for Sae to enter.
-Nervous? — Thalassa asked.
-No. Not anymore. — Phoenix replied.
-Good. I’d hope you like Sae’s look. She looks gorgeous than ever.
Phoenix chucked.
-I heard that from everyone.
-Do you don’t believe Nick? — Maya scolded, slapping his arm and Phoenix chuckled again.
-Of course, I believe, is just… I want to see it by myself. Although I am still a little anxious to see her dress.
-Of course, since you refused to see.
-Seeing the dress before the marriage gives bad luck, Maya.
-Superstitious.
-Just a little. The real reason is I want to get surprised by her.
-Oh! Such romantic… — Maya said, imitating Pearl’s gesture, sighing with exasperation. Phoenix chuckled seeing such a scene.
-Hey, can you blame me? Besides, is good to be surprised in a good way for once.
-I agree with you, Wright. Is good to be surprised sometimes. — Miles said.
-You’re saying that because of Maya, right?
-Yes…
It was a rare sight to see Miles sighing noting in frustration. Phoenix remembered his and Maya’s marriage when Maya appeared wearing a beautiful white yukata with a cherry blossom stamp waistband. She never looked so gorgeous and Miles never looked so surprised at her sight. For once, his smile was genuine of happiness and amusement, something rare from the chief prosecutor.
-Well, I can’t blame you. After all, we all expecting Sae to surprise us. Especially you, Wright.
-Well, you be sure of…
Then the music starts and Sae appeared, being escorted by Ren. For Phoenix, she was radiant as ever. Wearing a white evening gown wedding dress and a simple bun, she enters the chapel with Ren escorting her along all the hall. Once they arrived, Ren took his position as Sae’s best man, and she and he stood in front of the priest.
-You look stunning as ever. — Phoenix commented.
-As well you. You also look stunning. — Sae answered. — Ready?
-Ready.
-Greetings to everyone here present. Today is a special day, the day we’ll celebrate the marriage of Phoenix Wright and Sae Niijima under the roof of this church, which is God’s house. In this sacred place, we’ll witness the union of those souls who decided to spend their lives together.
The priest looked to Phoenix and Sae and smiled at both.
-May His love and compassion guide you both at this new point of your journey, and give to our bride and groom a life of health and prosperity. Now, Mr. Wright and Ms. Niijima, you may deliver your vows to each other to your loved one. Mr. Wright, you first.
-Sae, since the first we met I knew you were special, and over these years I was sure I want to spend all my life with you. I take you today as my life, and I promise and I will always love you, no matter what happens to us. I’ll stay by your side, with your faults and strengths, and I will love you for all eternity, even after the end of times. — Phoenix said, slipping the wedding ring on her finger.
-Now you Ms. Niijima.
-Phoenix. Since we met, I felt a connection between us, a bond that only deepened over time. I take you as my husband, but if I could we’ll be together since we met. I accept you with your flaws and strength, and like you, I promise and I will love you no matter the circumstances, for all the eternity, with the same intensity as you. — Sae said, slipping the wedding ring on Phoenix's finger.
-If anyone has something against this union, say it now, or remain silent for all eternity.
-OBJECTION!
To (not) everyone's surprise, it was Larry who shouted.
-You have something against this marriage? — The priest asked surprised.
-I have, and I’ll say it!
Then Gumshoe took Larry by his wrist and cuffed him, whistling without any worries of how absurd was that scene at the church chapel.
-Hey! What’re you doing?!
-Taking you to a calmer place, pal. You’re disturbin’ the ceremony.
-But…
-No Butz, pal. — Gumshoe chuckled at his lame pun. — Now, come with me.
-No!
-You don’t have any choice.
Gumshoe threw Larry over his shoulders and carry him out of the church. Everyone except Phoenix, Miles, Ren, and Sae watched the scene perplexed.
-That guy… — Phoenix and Miles commented shook their heads in disappointment.
-Do you know that man? — The priest asked.
-Unfortunately, yes… — Ren answered. Outside, some screams could be heard by everyone. — Just ignore it, please…
-Okay… As I was saying… — The priest cleared his throat. —…If anyone…
-Hey free me! I was joking!
-It didn’t sound like a joke, pal.
-Please… Don’t let me cuffed on this his pole… Please…
“Damn… That was rough, even for Gumshoe…” Everyone thought.
-Now, as I was saying… If anyone has something against this union, say it now, or remain silent for all eternity. No objections, I see. Well, for the power of God I hereby declare you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride now.
-Gladly.
Phoenix embraced Sae by her waist and took her into a lovely kiss. Everyone celebrated and after that everyone went to the Gatewater Hotel, to celebrate the marriage of Phoenix and Sae. At the party hall, everyone was talking and the newlyweds were talking with the guests. Athena hugged the couple.
-I’m so happy for you two! I almost cried. Almost.
-True. She almost cried until that Mr. Butt decided to almost ruin everything. — Simon said annoyed;
-True. I almost kicked him. Almost…
-Simon hold you tightly, didn’t he? — Phoenix asked, chucking.
-Yes… — Athena said disappointed. — Damn… If you don’t hold me.
-You don’t have any patience whatsoever. True, but I dare to say, you should have done that. Especially because as your husband, I’ll be proud to see you kicking his gluteus.
Athena laughed.
-Well, better me than you. I don’t want to see you in jail again. We have a daughter.
-I know. But honestly, he’s so annoying. I’m impressed you guys haven’t strangled him yet today. — Simon said with a sharp grin.
-Oh, you have no idea, Simon. — Phoenix said with a smile.
-You truly don’t have an idea of how close we are to do that. — Miles said.
-Speaking of your daughter, where’s Metis? — Sae asked curiously.
-She is with my sister. They should be here at any moment.
-Hey, I brought Metis as you two asked, it wasn’t like I was invited. — Aura said, coming from the toilet.
-But you were invited.
-True. Mr. Wright, Mrs. Wright. Simon, Queen…
-Who? — Apollo asked confused.
-Athena. She’s a queen now.
-WE both queens Aura, or do you forget?
Aura laughed at Athena’s statement.
-True. How could I forget?
-Aura? The one who hit on you Pollo? — Ema teased.
-Ema! — Apollo screeched.
-Yes, I need to say you two have good taste for partners. — Aura teased as well.
-Aura!
-Justice-dono… There’s no need to shout. As much I understand your behavior…
-Simon… — Aura scolded.
-You’re dating Sojiro, and yet you act like that… How he doesn’t end the relationship of yours? — The youngest asked.
-Well, I have two convicting arguments… — Aura chucked.
-Aura… If you…
At that moment, Metis started to cry and Aura looked afraid of the baby.
-Hey, calm down… — Aura said with a melodic tone. — Shush… Shush…
Metis started to calm down and started to sleep again. Aura gave Metis to Athena, who took her child.
-Wow… — Phoenix said impressed as he saw Athena taking care of Metis.
-Heh. I learned a few tricks with Ren and Sojiro. Especially with the Queen here. I never expected she has such parental skills.
-I had to babysit my youngest cousins sometimes. It was quite the challenge but, hey, I’m here. I survived the wrath of my little cousins.
Simon laughed, slapping his knee.
-That should be quite a scene.
-Well, you haven’t seen me in action yet.
-Oh, but I saw you in action, and I dare to say you were excellent at it.
Athena blushed, but she smiled.
-Thank you.
-You’re welcome. — Simon looked around. — Talking about our children… How is your baby, Maya?
Maya caressed her belly.
-Gregory is doing great. He kicks a lot sometimes.
-At that rate we'll born with a lot of wrinkles like the father. Phoenix joked.
-Nick!
-I'm just teasing you two. But seriously I'm happy for you both.
-Thank you, Wright. I'm happy to hear that from you. — Miles said with a smile. Maya looked around.
-Hey, did you guys have seen Ren? — The medium asked.
-Yeah… I haven’t seen him for a while… Actually, I haven’t seen you since the ceremony. — Athena commented.
-Neither us… — Phoenix and Klavier said.
-I heard from he had planned a surprise for us. — Sae commented. — For him to disappear like that…
-Do you think…? — Apollo asked.
-I can’t imagine what he planned… I mean, is Ren we’re talking about. — Ema said.
-Hey, lay your hands off me…
-Pal, stop that…
Gumshoe and Larry come in their direction, being followed by Maggey, that was at a certain distance from both.
-Mr. and Mrs. Wright. — Gumshoe said and chuckled. — Is funny to call you by your name now sir. — The giant detective commented, chuckling at his comment. Sae chuckled as well.
-I can sympathize with you. Even I find that odd sometimes. But you call me Mrs. Niijima as well.
-You kept your maiden’s name? — Simon asked astounded.
-Yes. It was Nicky’s idea.
-I thought would be nice for her to keep her family name.
-Since I don’t want to change my name, he suggested me to add his family name. Now my full name is Sae Niijima Wright.
-Niijima… Wright? — Maggey asked, then murmured Sae’s name. — That has a ring to it. I like it! — She commented.
-I thought you’ll like it Maggey. By the way, how are your children?
-Our children are great. Just being the little balls of energy, they are. I never saw two kids mess a house like them. — Maggey commented and Phoenix laughed.
-Well, you’re lucky to at least have them. They’ll be excellent officers in no time, I assure you.
-I hope so. They are quite the artists you know.
Phoenix laughed again.
-At least they’re creative.
Maggey and Gumshoe looked around.
-We didn’t saw Ren after the ceremony, pal. Do you saw him? — Gumshoe asked.
-No, why?
-I thought that’s from him. — Gumshoe said, showing Ren’s hat.
-That’s not from Ren. — Phoenix stated.
-What? But I saw him usin’, pal…
-Detective… That’s from Raymond. — Miles said. — I can recognize his fedora miles away.
-When you said that…
-Hey, my hat! Thanks for finding it.
Raymond came with Katie and a kid who was holding Katie’s hand tightly. Gumshoe gave back the fedora hat to Gregory’s apprentice.
-Hello Miles. Phoenix. I’m happy for you and your wife. — Raymond said, holding his hat against his chest. — I happy for you both.
-Thank you, Mr. Shields.
-Please, call me Raymond. Say… Can I hug you both?
-Ray! — Katie scolded. — I’m sorry for that…
-It’s okay. You can hug us.
Both hugged Raymond.
-I’m proud of you two.
-Thank you.
Raymond broke the hug and looked at both.
-I can’t believe you two are married. I mean, you two took a lot of time to get together in matrimony.
-It wasn’t like we wanted to postpone our marriage. We need to do. — Sae said with a sigh.
-True. It was a nightmare back then, we simply couldn’t marry because of Kristoph and the Phantom.
-I don’t need to comment about the psychotic breakdowns caused by Masayoshi Shido… I can’t believe the phantom thieves…
-Phantom thieves… Can’t believe it was two years ago…
-Who are these guys? — Maggey asked.
-It’s a long story, honey. I’ll tell you later. — Gumshoe said. — Now, back to the original question, did you guys saw Ren? I know I asked, but I thought I saw him.
-You saw him? Where? — Klavier asked.
-I saw him coming to the Gatewater Hotel, but I haven’t seen him since then. He was carrying some cases. — Gumshoe answered.
-Now you mentioned it, Herr Amamiya asked me a favor.
-What favor? — Apollo asked.
Suddenly the lights went out and a smoke bomb filled the stage on the end of the hall, when Ren appeared, with an electric guitar in hands. With him was Machi on the keyboard, Ryuji on the drums, Minato with the bass, Yu with the Saxophone, and Franziska in the middle as the single. The lights went on once again and Franziska took the microphone.
-Greetings to everyone. Today we witnessed a beautiful ceremony, won’t you all agree? — The German woman asked and everyone nodded in affirmation. — And a certain friend of mine thought for a long time how to celebrate that union between our newlyweds, and come to the conclusion of giving them a special show in celebration.
Franziska lends the microphone to Ren, who promptly thanked her.
-Franziska is right. I thought for a long time to give you two a special gift, and I-We decided to make a show for you guys, playing your favorites songs.
Everyone applauded, and both Phoenix and Sae were astounded. They never saw that one coming from Ren and their friends.
-Sorry to keep that a secret, but hey, a surprise is a surprise. — Everyone laughed. — Well, if that too much to ask, may the newlyweds dance another waltz at the song of Fly Me to the Moon?
Everyone applauded once again and the couple nodded their heads in agreement. Walking to the middle of the wall and the band started to play as the Phoenix and Sae bowed to each other and the groom holds gently her waist and the bride put her hand on his shoulder.
Fly Me to The Moon
Let me play, among the sky.
-Let me see what spring is like, on a Jupiter and Mars. — Phoenix singed.
-In other words, hold my hand. In other words, baby, kiss me. — Sae singed and Phoenix kissed her, as they spun.
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for evermore
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
-In other words, please be true…
-In other words, I love you.
The melodic and soft voice of Franziska echoed over the hall, as the couples were dancing, but none here impeccable as Phoenix and Sae, with danced with perfection, as they spun over the hall.
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for evermore
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true…
In other words, in other words…
-I love… You. — Both Phoenix and Sae sang in unison and kissed again. Everyone applauded the couple, who bowed to the “public”. After that other songs were played as the band played and Franziska sang Marvin Gaye, Phil Collins, Frank Sinatra, and other musicians.
-Okay, now it’s time for the bride to throw the bouquet.
Sae stood in the middle of the hall and all the women go to the middle to try to catch it.
-Athena… Do you really need to catch it? — Simon asked.
-Well yeah, it’s the tradition. — Athena replied.
-Even you are married to me?
-Oh, don’t be a bummer, Simon.
-Not you too Aura.
-Don’t start it. — Aura hissed. — Well, let’s go. I want to grab that bouquet.
-I wonder if I catch it… — Trucy said.
-Don’t worry. I’m sure you’ll catch one day.
-Okay, I’ll throw it. One, two, three…!
Sae threw the bouquet and it landed on Trucy’s arms. She blinked surprised and she was applauded by everyone. Ren winked at Klavier, who cleaned his throat.
-Trucy.
-Yes, Klavier?
-You are the woman I love, and I want to spend all my life with you. Do you marry me?
Klavier showed a black box, and open it, revealing a diamond ring. The magician’s eyes glittered with the tears and she kissed him.
-Yes, yes! I will marry you.
Everyone applauded the newest couple and Franziska hit gently the microphone, calling everyone’s attention.
-In other to celebrate the newest couple, we decided to play one more song for you two. We hope you enjoy it.
Ren started to play the first accords as Klavier slipped the ring in Trucy’s finger.
-I love this music. Hey, come, let’s dance. — She said grabbing his hand, making the Rockstar prosecutor laugh gently.
-Let’s.
-I happy for both. — Phoenix said.
-Me too. I hope they can be happy as us. — Sae said.
-Me too. Me too. — Sae kissed him and whispered in Phoenix’s ear. — One more dance?
-Yes.
Where have you been?
Been searching all along
Came facing twilight on and on
Without a clue
Without a sign
Without grasping yet
The real question to be asked
Where have I been?
-I'm a shapeshifter, at Poe's masquerade. — Sae singed.
-Hiding both face and mind, all free for you to draw. — Phoenix singed.
I'm a shapeshifter
What else should I be?
Please don't take off my mask
Revealing dark
-Moments of calm, nothing left to be found. — Trucy sang singed, being admired by Klavier, who was listening to her sweet voice. — A mirror right in front of me, that's where I find
-An empty glass, reflecting the sad truth… — Klavier singed, following Trucy’s lead. — It's telling words not to be told, I need the mask
I'm a shapeshifter
At Poe's masquerade
Hiding both face and mind
All free for you to draw
I'm a shapeshifter
Chained down to my core
Please don't take off my mask
My place to hide
-I can't tell you, how to see me… — Phoenix and Klavier sang sung in unison
-…Just a cage of bones, there's nothing inside… — Trucy and Sae continued to sing.
Will it unleash me?
Burning down the walls
-Is there a way, for me to break? — The couples sang in unison once again.
I'm a shapeshifter
At Poe's masquerade
Hiding both face and mind
All free for you to draw.
The couples were dancing and Ren saw Tae staring at him. He just smiled. In the end, everything went well. At that point, Phoenix imagined what will happen if Maya hasn’t decided to invade the office that day. He just smiled.
-Something wrong? — Sae asked.
-No. Everything is okay. Is just…
-Just what?
-Is just… For once I wish the music never end.
Sae smiled at Phoenix and before she kisses him, she said:
-Me too. Me too.
I'm a shapeshifter
Have no face to show
Please don't take off my mask
My disguise
THE END
