Headcanon: Miles Edgeworth trick-or-treated with Phoenix and Larry while all three was wearing the Traffic Saftey Samurai costumes.
In the Ace Attorney anime the “Neo Olde Tokyo Traffic Safety” is a thing right? Well, the DL-6 incident happened in December which means that Miles Edgeworth had one Halloween with Phoenix and Larry back in grade school. I bet that all three of them dressed up as the three traffic saftey samurai.
This headcanon includes:
- Phoenix and Larry talking about how they’re going to dress up as the blue and yellow traffic saftey samurai a week before Halloween
- Miles admitting that he wants to go as a defense attorney
- Phoenix and Larry pushing Miles to be the red samurai so they can be the set.
- Miles end up agreeing that he will ask his dad if he can
- Miles going home and shyly asking Gregory is he could get the red traffic samurai costume
- Gregory is confused so Miles explains that it is of request from his friends.
- After Gregory hear the word “friends” he is overjoyed
- Gregory: My boy, has freinds! I know he has friends but like!! Friends! FRIENDS!!! And he wants to dress up with them for Halloween!!
- They go immediately and buy the costume
- For the entire week Gregory has been trying to find a way to meet Miles’s friends. He comes up with excuses like “Do you need an adult with you?” “Do you think you’ll need a ride? I can be the ride.”
- However, Miles denies him each time and Gregory is ok with that.
- In all honestly, Miles is afriad to show Phoenix and Larry to his father because he feels they aren’t the type of friends he’ll accept (but Gregory would in a heartbeat)
- Halloween falls on a school day so all the kids go to school in their costumes
- Gregory is carious about Miles friends so when he drops Miles off at school he lingers a bit to see if he can find the blue and yellow samurai (you bet he sits there and watches the show with his boy)
- He sees them and sees Miles walk up to them and once again is overjoyed
- Phoenix, Larry, and Miles spends Halloween together from school to late at night after trick-or-treating
- Since them three are traffic saftey samurai for Halloween, Phoenix and Larry played their part as the blue and yellow samurai but it took awhile for shy Miles to get comfortable
- When he did get comfortable them three were talking and acting like the samurai in the show
- Before they go home the boys dumb all their candy out and trade some between each other.
- However, they’re on Miles side of town and it’s too dark to walk home so Miles ask his dad if he can give his friends a ride home
- After dropping them off Miles is afraid of his dad’s judgement but Gregory only says “I like your friends. They’re really nice.”
- This makes Miles open up because, hey, my dad likes my friends. He ends up talking about everything that day
- Gregory once again is overjoyed as he listens and laughs along side his son
