The Lie
Title: The Lie
Summary: Pearl in denial and Trucy amused
Rating: G
Warnings: none
Update: one-shot
Other: for PWKM, promt was "We all know Pearl is the ultimate Phoenix/Maya fangirl, but what if Trucy is the ultimate Phoenix/Edgeworth fangirl? The two have an argument over who's right. Can end with inconclusive, or them somehow finding out Trucy was right."
Tell zeal it wants devotion;
Tell love it is but lust;
Tell time it meets but motion;
Tell flesh it is but dust:
And wish them not reply,
For thou must give the lie.
These pictures could not exist.
She could not be looking at them, Trucy couldn't be grinning like that, because they did not exist.
It was a fake, it was a nightmare, it was something she would burn, soon, and it was defiantly not something she was staring at.
(She didn't know Mr. Edgeworth could bend- but he didn't because these were not real.)
"20 bucks."
"You bribed them."
"20 bucks."
"You bribed Mr. Edgeworth."
The other teen raised her eyebrow, not needing to say more as they both knew there was no reason the man would take a bribe. "You brib-"
"So you're saying Papa's love for Maya is so weak that-"
"I am NOT, he must have lost a bet!"
"We both know I would have had him do something with Skye, not Edgeworth."
The slightly older girl frowned, changing gears. "This photo isn't real, because Mystic Maya and Mr. Nick have loved each other for years, and there's no way he could be gay."
"Then what about New Years?"
"We both agreed that didn't count. Or should the fact Mr. Butz frenched you cou-"
"We agreed to never speak of that again."
"Then admit these are fake, or Mr. Nick and Mr. Apollo get to see that photo!"
"You wouldn't dare!"
The two stared each other done, moments ticking by as they were locked in a stalemate. It was the young magician who finally made the next move, one she knew was underhanded. "I'll let you keep a print, if you burn those photos."
"Why would I want those lies! Why would I want something vile like that, when I know Mr. Nick and Mystic Maya share a love that pure and true and isn't based on hormones."
"Because they would go well with those copies of Be X Boy and Yuri Hime you hide under your bed."
"..."
"It's not healthy to repress, you know."
Pearl turned for the door, not dignifying that last comment with a response. Trucy merely grinned after the young medium, giving her a small wave as she left. "I'll get that 20 from you by the end of the week, Pearly!" Her grin increased as the door slammed. Checkmate.
