Gumshoe was nervous to spend his first Christmas with his girlfriend, Maggey Byrde. Earlier that year, he gained the courage to ask her out. She had said yes, and everything went on from there. The sudden knock at the door interrupted his thoughts. There was no getting out of it now. Gumshoe opened the door to his small apartment. The sight of Maggey eased his worries as she smiled brightly at him. She stepped inside, holding a small box that had been hastily wrapped.
Shortly after, the timer for the oven went off. It had been several months since Gumshoe could cook a proper meal due to all the monthly pay cuts. Edgeworth's gift gave him enough money to get a small turkey and other supplies. He silently prayed to himself as he opened the oven. Burnt, just like he feared. "Sorry, Gumshoe. I think I accidentally gave you some of my bad luck." Maggey said, looking into the oven.
"It's not your fault. I just haven't cooked in a long time." Gumshoe responded as he took out what remained of the turkey. Out of the corner of his eye, he watched as Maggey reached into the cupboard and pulled out a couple of packs of ramen. At least there was the classic. Gumshoe ed her, grabbed the pot, and filled it with water. It wasn't what he had hoped for, but spending time with Maggey more than made up for it.
