Turnabout Troublemaking:



Maya: How's the view Nick?



Phoenix: -Struggling- Can't... Breathe.



Pearl: Sorry. I forgot how strong my grip was.



Phoenix: Just put me down please.



Maya: Aw... but Nick you're so cute!



Phoenix: OBJECTION! I find your definition of the word "cute" resentful!



Maya: Uh Nick? You know we're not in court right now don't you?



Phoenix: How did this happen anyway? I was gone for two minutes.



Maya: I think my magatama's broken.



Phoenix: WHAT?!



Pearl: Mine too.



Phoenix: Could one of you please explain this to me?



Maya: Do you want the long version or the short one?



Phoenix: Humor me.



Maya: Alright, I guess I'll start with the long version. Pearly and I were practicing our spirit channeling until the energy shifted from my crystal to hers and it caused the crystals to shatter. After that an energy surge surrounded our bodies and made you look so cute and tiny.



Phoenix: I don't care how much you enjoy this. If we don't reverse it's effect to normal people are going to laugh at me and treat me like a loser.



Maya: Weren't you already treated like one once?



Phoenix: That's exactly why I don't intend to make the same mistake twice!



Pearl: Um... I don't know how to break this to you but I don't think it can be reversed.



Maya: But from what I've read it should only last several hours before we return to normal.



Phoenix: Great. Well then I'm going home to get some sleep. You guys do whatever it is you do when I'm not with you.



Maya: -Whispering- I want to stay this way.



Pearl: Me too. It's so much more fun.



Several hours of meditation later...



Phoenix: Ok I'm ba -spews his coffee- What happened to you two?!



Maya: Umm. Nothing?



Phoenix: Do I look stupid to you?!



Pearl: No?



Phoenix: I thought you said you would be back to normal within a few hours.



Pearl: We did. I'm so sorry Mr. Nick! Mystic Maya told me to do it!



Phoenix: -SIGHS- I guess that's not going to be a problem just as long as you make sure you don't break anything important.



Maya: Define "important"



Phoenix: Well for starters, me most importantly. Second most important the office, and third most important the crime scene.



Pearl: Wouldn't the crime scene be the most important?



Phoenix: Anyway you get the idea. From this moment on I'm not letting either one of you out of my sight got that?



Maya: I'm not even sure you could if you wanted to.



Several hours later...



Phoenix: ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?!



Maya: I guess this time the effect is permanent.



Phoenix: Ugh... -passes out-



Pearl: Mr. Nick?



Maya: Awww. He's so cute when he's asleep while you're holding him.



Pearl: -murderous stare- Mystic Maya! I will not allow you to bully Mr. Nick!



Maya: -Frozen- S-Sorry!
