The next day out on the deck everyone was gathered to say farewell to me. The kids had formed a group in the center of the deck while everyone else was scattered everywhere else. I started to walk to the kids when Edgar and Sabin came to me and gave me a hug, which I felt like I was being squeezed by a giant bear.

"It's not going to be the same without you Terra." Edgar smacked my shoulder and Sabin laughed.

"You promise to write to us?"

"Of course I will. I'll see you two later..." The two walked off as Cyan and Celes walked up to me. "Hello Cyan, hi Celes."

"Hello Terra. We're going to miss you a lot." Celes confessed, pulling me into a hug. When she backed off, I saw tears in her eyes, which made me choke up a bit. Cyan just shook my hand and smiled.

"Thou has been a good friend to thy. Will thou keep contact?" I nodded my head and cried a little bit, when Cyan decided to pull my into a hug like Celes did. When he backed off and the two of them walked away, I freely cried for a bit but wiped my tears away the best I could when Gau, Mog, and Locke came up from behind me.

"Gau loved adventures with Terra! Will Gau see Terra again?" I slightly kneeled to get to Gau's height and I forced him into a hug, which at first scared him, but he relaxed and hugged me back. When I stopped, he jumped back and I nodded.

"Of course you will Gau. And thank you for everything Gau...you too Mog." I patted Mog's head and he looked back up at me happily and with a hint of pride.

"Kupo!" He cried out, stepping to the side to let Locke talk to me. He looked at me with pain, and I almost cried again, but stopped when Locke hugged me tightly. He kept hugging me and spoke gently.

"I'm going to miss you, very much..."

"I'm going to miss you too." I cried out, letting my tears fall to the ground. Locke held me tighter and tighter the more I cried. When he finally released me, I saw Setzer on the deck above waving to me.

"The ship is ready to leave now Terra. You better get going."

"Farewell Terra. I'll see you later." Locke walked off a foot away from me before folding his arms and watching me walk to my kids. They all looked at me; I saw they were not just happy but also sad.

"You sure you don't want to stay? We all know, and we're ready for it." Dearon asked me, trying to convince me again. I was about to answer when Greya came up to me and smiled.

"We know you want to stay...maybe it's better for you."

"What? What about you kids..."

"Sometimes you need to take care of yourself too, you know?" Jasiline lectured me, and then Randiy joined in smiling.

"Come on Terra! You're not taking care of yourself, so we are for you! Stay here with them...we'll write to keep in touch. Please...we want what's best for you Terra." The kids walked ahead of me and off of the ship. I straggled behind them, wondering what to do. As the kids danced off and waited for me to make up my mind, I leaned over the edge and thought...maybe I could stay...

"Terra, making up your mind now would be a good idea." I heard Setzer call from the deck above. The kids looked up at me and smiled; I smiled back and waved to them.

"I'll write, I promise." I started walking away from the edge when I heard Jasiline call out.

"See you later Terra!"

"Bye!" Greya sobbed, accepting that I had to do this. As they walked away from the ship, everyone came closer to me and stared, confused.

"Um, Terra...shouldn't you..." Sabin started but Edgar cut him off.

"Are you...staying with us?"

"Yes, I am." I grinned, and everyone sudden rejoiced, hugging me and crying happily.

"Are you saying I flew to a place for no reason...again?" Setzer groaned, making Sabin huff in slight anger.

"Come on Setzer! Terra is staying with us!" Setzer smiled in joy, but before he left to return to the room, Mog jumped off of the ship and raced after the kids, making them stop and wonder.

"Mog, what you doing?!" Gau called out, standing on the edge of the ship.

"Kupo, po! Kupo!" Mog jumped excitedly and smiled.

"Are you going to take care of my kids for me?" I asked him, figuring out what he was doing. Mog nodded his head and Jasiline hugged him tightly.

"We'll take good care of him as well!" She called out to me as we were taking off again.

"See you later Mom!" Greya waved good-bye, tears of joy falling from her cheeks. I cried happily and smiled, waving to them all.

"See you all later! Don't forget to tell the others, and Mog, take good care of them!"
