Monster Eyes

Summary: When Apollo and Trucy return to the Wright Anything Agency, returning from a trial, they find Phoenix searching for his missing contact lens. It's up to Trucy and Apollo to help Phoenix search for his missing contact or forever suffer under Phoenix's cursed monster eyes.

Apollo had just returned back to the office from his recent trial. It was exhausting to say the least. Trucy was a lot of help and he was glad to have been getting more clients since the jury trial that solved the case from seven year sago. Apollo was certainly proud of himself and relieved that his mentor's name was cleared. Unfortunately, Apollo was about to face yet another huge problem as soon as he opened the door.

"Hey, Mr. Wright. I fi-" Apollo greeted, before being cut off.

"HOLD IT!" Phoenix cried out in panic mode. He was on his hands and knees, eyes staring at the ground with his open hand at Apollo and Trucy.

"Daddy, what happened? Wait, don't tell me you lost your cap!" Trucy shouted, noticing that Phoenix was not wearing his beanie.

"No, the cap is fine. It's much worse. I lost my contact lens!" Phoenix replied, frantically searching the floor of the office, which was chunk full of stuff.

"Oh no! That is bad. Don't tell me..."

"I'm afraid so, Trucy," Phoenix said sadly.

"Can I have a moment to catch up? First off, you wear contacts? Second, don't you have a pair of glasses?" Apollo asked, looking dumbfounded.

"Just one and why would I need glasses? I see perfectly fine," Phoenix asked, still searching the floor, then under the couch.

"But, you just said that you wear contacts or... well, one at least. Why would you need them anyways?" Apollo asked, pushing his index finger on his forehead.

"Polly, don't you know!? If Daddy doesn't find his contact soon, he'll be cursed with the Daddy Monster Eyes," Trucy said, showing her puffy cheeks and glaring eyes.

"The Daddy Monster Eyes? Wha?" Apollo asked, looking more confused.

"She means these," Phoenix said, looking straight at Apollo, showing two different colored eyes. His left eye being brown and the right eye being blue. That was enough to give Apollo a jump scare.

"Eeeek!" Apollo almost screamed. He heard about people having different colored eyes like that, but seeing it in his own mentor he idolized was enough to make his skin chill.

"Told ya! Now, don't just stand there, help Daddy find his contact lens!" Trucy glared, her hands on her hips.

"G-Got it," Apollo replied, getting down on his hands and knees with Trucy to find the missing contact lens. "When did you last have it before losing it?"

"Hm... I was watering Charley, then I felt it slip just when I was pouring my coffee," Phoenix said.
