Strange Dreams

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 23:55:54 GMT

I had several odd dreams last night. I thought I would share them with my loyal readers (lol).

In my first dream Phoenix and Iris were married. I don't know why I would dream about this because this is on my pairings I don't particularly care for list. Anyway, in my dream I believe Dahlia possessed Pearl and somehow got Iris to give up her house keys. Iris was dumb and gave them to her sister; therefore, she was locked out of her apartment and had to wait for Phoenix to get home so she could be let in.

In another dream I remember I applied for a job as a substitute at the private school my friend works at. I remember it being a very chaotic day, almost as if it was the first day of school. I vaguely remember being interviewed by someone and then later found out I got a job as a teacher's assistant (they called it an instructional assistant in the dream). I remember being overjoyed because I would now have full time work, but then reality set in. This is where it gets a little bizarre. One of my thoughts was about how to get to the job since naturally it was far away and my car is craptacular. The bizarre thoughts started when I realized I wouldn't be able to sub for my friend's classes at the other school district I sub at because of the time conflicts. WTF? I have a full time job and I'm worried about part time crap? Then my dream kind of changed to where I wasn't going to start until some old guy retired, so I would be able to sub for my friends?

The final odd transition my dream took was some hostage situation at a friend's wedding. I don't even remember which friend it was, but I was the maid of honor. Some psycho guy was pissed about something at the wedding and then tried to attack me at the alter. I remember trying to choke him and calling him worthless scum, but that didn't deter him. Then he dream transitioned into some kind of chaos and I was supposed to go find my sister-in-law so we could go eat with our cousins. However, I couldn't leave because we still had wedding stuff to take care of despite the wedding being ruined by that crazy old guy (he was an old guy and he looked kind of like a professor I had once).

I'm never sleeping in again.

I can't believe it fits so well.

I felt like doing this again. This time I just listened to my favorite yahoo radio station (1980s Alternative). If I had an mp3 player, I'm sure all of these songs would be on there anyway.

Here are some old kink meme entries from yours truly. I would do more if I could think of anything in the way of words or images, but sadly I think I'm all tapped out of ideas for this.

I was inspired by the first set of fills this received. To that anon, who ever you are, you are awesome.

The theme was 4Kids trying to change Phoenix Wright to fit better with society in general. That kind of company is notorious for editing characters into something they are not for the sake of being kid friendly.

I re-colored her skin, eyes, tie, and glasses. I also covered her pin with something a little more festive.

http://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r404/Lunaria42/4Kids/kevingarrison1copy.png
I took off his earring, his thumb rings, and his chains. I also gave him an undershirt and softened the tip of the "G" on his necklace.

http://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r404/Lunaria42/4Kids/DerekCrenshawcopy.png
I cut his hair, tamed his boots, and made his zipper festive.

http://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r404/Lunaria42/4Kids/NicholasWrightcopy.png
I made him some proper shoes, gave his hoodie some patriotic flare, and made his button a reference to one of the other fills for this meme.

http://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r404/Lunaria42/4Kids/WendyOlsencopy.png
Not much of an edit here. I think I spent most of my time getting the dress cleaned of its background.

http://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r404/Lunaria42/4Kids/KennethGarrison1copy.png
Again, not much of an edit. It took me a while to find a picture that would fit with this head.

I can live with that.

Unexpected

Sun, 07 Sep 2008 01:52:20 GMT

Pairing: Phoenix/Maya
Original Prompt: They have been dating for a while. On date, Maya has unexplainable pains. What they don't know is that she is pregnant and having the baby now. http://teagueful.livejournal.com/38756.html?thread=11340132#t11340132
Setting: After TT, but AJ events have already taken place. Phoenix is not quite a hobo yet. He still shaves and wears his suit.

I wrote this because the original fill did not match the prompt. I felt bad for the OP, so I threw this together. It's not as well paced as I would prefer it to be, but the OP was happy.

This version has some slight edits (corrected typos and such).

Phoenix arrived back at the Wright Talent Agency with Trucy. She had a huge grin on her face; proudly holding her art project in one hand and her daddy's in the other.

“Do you think Mama will like the picture I drew for her?”

“Now Trucy, what have I told you about calling Maya your mother?”

“That since she's only your girlfriend and not your wife that she's not my mommy,” she said. Her facing turning down and a frown replacing her smile.

He fumbled with the little black box in his pocket as he spoke, “Maybe one day she'll be, but for now she's just. . .” Phoenix trailed off when he caught sight of Maya. She was wearing a beautiful purple and pink Chinese style dress.

“I'm ready for our date when you are,” she said with a smile.

At that moment Detective Gumshoe showed up. His income had been severely reduced again, and started to babysit to earn some extra cash.

“Yay! Uncle Scruffy is here,” Trucy showed him the picture she made at school that day.

“Hey Pal! You guys have fun on your date tonight.” He gave a huge wink to Phoenix. Luckily for him, Maya was absolutely clueless as to what the gesture really meant.

#

“Hey look! Isn't that Larry?” Maya pointed toward an ice cream stand.

“Well, yes it is.” Phoenix looked toward his childhood friend. He fumbled the box in his pocket. Larry was the last person he wanted to talk to right now. The former attorney had been nervous throughout his dinner with Maya. It was now or never.

“Hey Nick, go get us some ice cream from Larry.”

“But Maya-”

“I'm going to sit down, I feel tired.”

Phoenix knew there was no point in arguing with Maya about food. They had just had desert not twenty minutes ago and now she wanted something else. He approached the stand.

“Hey Nick, on a hot date?” Larry looked past Phoenix to stare at Maya.

Phoenix gave him a look of frustration, “You could say that.”

Larry's eyes grew wide and his mouth moved in a small “o.”

“Dude, maybe you should go check on your girl. She don't look too hot now.”

Phoenix turned to see what Larry was rambling about. He was met with a frightening sight. Maya was on all fours clutching her stomach, face twisted in agony. Phoenix ran to her.

“Maya, what's wrong?”

“I don't know Nick. I've been having these strange pains in my back and stomach all day. But now they're getting worse.”

“Really?” He knelt to Maya's side. Phoenix began to rub small circles on her lower back. He hadn't noticed anything strange at dinner.

“The pain has been off and on, but now it seems like it keeps getting closer and. . .” her eyes grew wide and her mouth dropped.
“What is it Maya?”

“Nick, I think I might have just peed on myself.”

“We need to get to you to the hospital,” he helped her up. Larry had run to them to see what was wrong.

“Dude, is she gonna be alright?”

“Do you have a car, I need to get her to a doctor?”

“Yeah dude, here you go!” Larry tossed him the keys.

#

Phoenix had to carry Maya into the emergency room; the pain had become unbearable. A nurse helped her into a wheel chair and began to ask them questions. Maya's breathing had become labored, so Phoenix answered all of the questions. As he described her symptoms, the nurse felt Maya's abdomen.

“We need to get this woman to a delivery room!” s she yelled more nurses and doctors came.

They transferred Maya onto a gurney and a doctor began to examine her. “She's at ten centimeters, and fully effaced. She's in active labor.”

Active labor? It can't be possible. Maya couldn't be pregnant? She would have told him, would have known, right?

“What do you mean active labor?” Maya asked.

“Honey, your having a baby!” the nurse said.

“But. . .I didn't even know I was pregnant.” Maya began to chew her lip.

“It's going to be okay Maya.” Nick wiped her brow with his hand.

#

The baby didn't seem that eager to come because they had time to bring Phoenix and Maya into a proper delivery suite. Phoenix called all of their friends to let them know what was going on.

“Nick, I'm sorry.” Maya said, clutching his hand tight as another contraction flowed and ebbed.

“Don't be Maya, its okay.” He tried not to cry as her grip tightened.

The doctor came into examine her again. “Okay Mom and Dad, it's time to bring this baby into the world.”

In Phoenix's opinion Maya was very brave. She pushed without much complaint despite the fact that the doctors did not give her any medication.

“I can see the head Maya, I think we just need a few more pushes and we'll be finished,” the doctor said.

After a few more well timed pushes the baby was free from Maya. They placed the baby in Maya's arms. It was the most disgusting and most beautiful thing Phoenix had ever seen. He cut the cord of his new child. They cleaned the baby and brought it, no her, back to Maya and Phoenix.

“We need to run some tests to make sure the baby is okay, but we'll have her back in just few minutes,” the doctor said.
“Is she doing to be alright?” Maya asked, her eyes tired, but wide with worry.

“She'll be fine.” Phoenix smiled, but only to ease the worry in Maya's eyes.

#

After the delivery, it calmed down enough for Phoenix and Maya to have a real conversation. The new parents stared at the perfect little girl, who only a few hours ago they didn't know existed.

“This explains why my breasts were growing.” Maya said as she began to feed her daughter.

“I can't believe we had no idea you were pregnant. But the doctors say she is a perfectly healthy, full term baby.”

“Well I had no symptoms other than breast growth, and now that I think about it, fatigue and a little weight gain. Which I attributed to my training and diet.”

There was a knock at their door. Detective Gumshoe walked in with Trucy. He held a bouquet of flowers and she had a teddy bear.

“Daddy, I guess now that I have a little sister, there is no excuse why I can't call Miss Maya my mommy?” She gave a huge grin.

Maya and Phoenix shared a laugh. Feeling in his pocket, Phoenix suddenly remembered the task that had not been completely
earlier that afternoon. He was about complete it, but was interrupted by a curious Gumshoe.

“So Pal, how could you not know you were pregnant?”

“Well, apparently, my uterus is turned in such a way that I couldn't feel the baby move.” Maya answered.

“Daddy, you didn't answer my question. Is Miss Maya my new mom or not?” Trucy crossed her arms.

“I guess that will be up to Maya when she gives me the answer to my question.” Phoenix said, pulling out the box. He opened it to reveal a simple, yet elegant engagement ring. The band was white gold and the diamond was a half carat princess cut.

Maya's eyes grew wide and tears began to well up as Phoenix placed the ring on her finger.

“I think that means yes?” Phoenix asked, a broad smile growing on his lips.

Maya nodded in agreement. At same moment, their new daughter finished feeding. Maya covered her self and burped the baby.
“Does this mean I get to name the baby now?” Trucy asked.

“What did you have in mind?” Maya asked.

“We should name her. . .” Trucy's brow furrowed as she thought of a name for her baby sister, “her name should be Morgan, like the unicorn from my books Daddy. Again, a huge smile beaming across her face.

Phoenix and Maya both looked at one another, reading each others thoughts, and answered at the same time, “I don't think so.”
“Why not?" Trucy pouted.

Phoenix said that he would explain later, but that now it was time to celebrate. He had an idea for a name already, but he wasn't sure if Maya would agree.

More friends showed up the meet Phoenix and Maya's surprise. First came Miles Edgeworth and Franziska von Karma.

“Only you two fools could wind up in a situation as foolish as this.” Franziska said.

“Franziska, what did I tell you on the way over here? Behave yourself this instant or-” Miles began to scold, but was cut off when she pulled out her whip.

Larry entered next. “Dude you so owe me for this. I had to take two buses just to get here.”

“That's not a nice thing to say Uncle Larry!” Trucy frowned.

“I'm just kidding. I brought your baby a present. Is this trippy or what? Nick is dad, that is just messed up.”

Trucy frowned again. She was used to Larry's idiotic comments, but sometimes even he was too dumb for words.

“Larry, what is our baby going to do with free ice cream coupons?” Phoenix asked.

“What, babies got to eat!” He shrugged.

Phoenix just shook his head and pocketed the items.

“Have you two decided on a name?” Edgeworth asked.

“I was thinking of Mia, in honor of my sister.” Maya answered.

Phoenix nodded, “I would like that very much.”

Edgeworth, ever the observant prosecutor, suggested that the new parents should have some time alone with their baby. Trucy protested at first, but promises of ice-cream persuaded her to leave the room.

Phoenix took his new daughter from Maya's arms and held her close to him. Never in his life had he imagined having his own child, or family for that matter. Now he had them in abundance. Sometimes the unexpected surprises were the best.

Constructive critism is always welcome, and appreciated.
