DISCLAIMER: Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney belongs to Capcom.

A/N: Remember when Manfred von Karma tells Phoenix "My grandaughter has a dog named Phoenix, does that make you her fiance? She is only seven years old!"

-- A Dog Named Phoenix --

"So, why did you drag me to the airport with you, again?" Phoenix asked, looking sidelong at Edgeworth.

"I've told you about a hundred times now... Franziska is getting back from Germany today," Edgeworth replied, not looking at Phoenix.

"WHY?" Phoenix bellowed. "WHY DID YOU DRAG ME HERE FOR THAT?! DO YOU THINK I WANT TO SEE HER?!!"

"She asked me to bring you," Edgeworth replied calmly. "Would you mind being quiet? People are staring."

"I'm leaving!"

"No, you're not." Edgeworth grabbed Phoenix by the wrist. "Look, here she comes..."

Phoenix looked, despite himself. He spotted Franziska moving through the crowd, but noticed immediately that something was strange. She was leading a young girl by the hand, a girl who appeared to be about Pearl's age...

"Mr. Phoenix Wright, allow me to introduce you to my niece."

Before Phoenix could react, the little girl tugged on Franziska's hand and said, "Aunt Franziska, why does that man have the same name as my dog?"

Wait, you mean he wasn't lying when he said that?!
