54 Pink Princess

“Pink Princess”
Sung to the tune
of the
Sailor Moon
TV show theme

 It was Saturday at one in the afternoon, a time that Maya would typically look forward to every week since that was when they’d air new episodes of the recently rebooted “The Pink Princess: Warrior of Little Olde Tokyo“. However, unlike other weeks where Phoenix couldn’t pry his bubbly assistant away from the television to save his life, the spiky-haired attorney actually had to literally drag the petite spirit medium to the couch- a task made especially hard by the fact that she was pressing her feet against the ground as hard as she could.

“Come on, Maya, don’t be like this. You like the Pink Princess.” Phoenix pleaded, only to be met with the ebony-haired girl’s icy glare.

“The Pink Princess is dead to me, Nick!” Maya huffed with crossed arms. “The only action hero I know is the Steel Samurai!”

“Look, Maya, I know you’re still a bit upset about losing that theme song contest last week, but you’ve got to move on.” Phoenix calmly stated as he gently put his hand on his assistant’s shoulder. “It’s one thing when you keep your anger to yourself, but it’s another thing when you start scaring away potential clients by asking them things like, ‘Why do we form friendships, only to be betrayed?'”

“You don’t understand, Nick! It was one thing when Edgeworth won that “Steel Samurai” song contest last month, but I am the Pink Princess! Without me, that show wouldn’t even exist! But how do they repay me? Instead of choosing my idea which is filled with action, and electric guitars, and people singing ‘yo’ over and over, they give the Pink Princess this girly song that makes her look like some girly girl who does girly things!” Maya yelled as she puffed out her reddened cheeks.

“Maya, that’s how the Pink Princess has always been.”

“She is not, Nick!”

“What show have you been watching? When she’s not in her Pink Princess persona, Aiko is a college student who’s studying to be a vet and has a deep love for cute, fluffy animals and fashion. Heck, I remember all of those filler episodes that you made me watch in the original series where Aiko would engage in some kind of fashion trend to impress her crush…” Phoenix cocked his head to the side for a few seconds in an attempt to recall the name, only to come up with nothing. “Ok, I can’t remember his name, but that really short, angry guy who always wore a suit for some strange reason.”

“I don’t care, Nick! That new theme song is not my Pink Princess and I refuse to watch it!” Maya pouted with crossed arms.

“Just give it another chance. Who knows, maybe it’ll grow on you after you give it another listen.” Phoenix optimistically stated as he turned on the television, the screen glowing pink as the new “Pink Princess” theme song started playing.

Fighting under the full moon,
Falling in love at high noon,
Doesn’t ever give up very soon,
She is known as the Pink Princess.

 She will always fight to save the city,
Calling on friends when things get tricky,
They aren’t afraid to get dirty,
She is known as the Piiink…

 Pink Baroness,
Pink Countess,
Pink Marchioness,
Pink Duchess.

 Blessed with skills,
That are a real thrill,
She is known as the Pink Princess.

Footage of the Pink Princess fighting various villains was shown as the music continued to play before the lyrics started up again.

 Fighting under the full moon,
Falling in love at high noon,
With the Pink Nobles she won’t lose soon,
She is known as the Pink Princess.
She is known as the Pink Princess.
She is known as… Pink Princess!

 “I still hate it, Nick!” Maya fumed with clenched fists. “I can’t believe that they chose this lame theme song over mine!”

“That’s what you can’t believe?” Phoenix chimed in with a surprised look on his face as the episode started. “Personally, I’m more surprised by the fact that Prosecutor Blackquill was the one who submitted it!”
