Notes/Warnings: This is a little bit of a AU, expeccially towards the end….Actually, maybe a whole lot towards the end. But anyway…uum…Edea might be a little OOC or not. Anyway, enjoy.

They think I don't know what their up too. They think I don't know that two of them are hiding up in the clock that will rise soon.

They don't know that I made this so, that I, was the one who really planned how to assassinate myself.

They don't know that I can feel them with all my being, that I know where the are, who they are, and what they are doing.

Little disrespectful children. They don't remember.

They don't remember me. Of course, that was the plan, wasn't it?

Get them to go to the Gardens so they can junction GFs so they will forget all about their childhood, their time at the orphanage, and me. Send them away, away from me so that I don't corrupt them when I sold me soul to Ultmecia.

Now…I've changed my mind.

I raised them, and I want my children back.

You never expected that, did you Cid? You never expected that when I sold my soul that I would keep my feelings for the children, my children.

You probably thought that I would only care about World Domination and finding Ellone.

Yes, at first I did…but then…really, why would a mother want only one of her children when she could have all of them.

My dear husband, you must have been shocked when you heard about Seifer. I bet you even knew I didn't kill him…

And that when you sent Squall and the others to assassinate me, Seifer would be my Knight, kneeling before me…willing to die for me.

I bet you didn't expect that, my husband when the planned was formed to take them away from me, their right full mother.

But it isn't enough. No…

I want all of my children again, and I want them all to remember. I want them to remember me for who I really am.

Their Matron…their mother!

I raised them!

…And I can feel his reluctance. I can feel his despair.

He remembers me. He knows who I am.

You never expected that one Cid, my husband. No. You didn't.

You knew that even if one remembered I could get them back, one by one.

But you never made sure that they all forgot, did you? Because you thought it wouldn't matter, that I would care about my children after I did what I had to do to protect Ellone.

And he fires…

And, guess what Cid? Guess what?

I never finished my Protect spell. It wasn't me who saved me.

You know what that means don't you? Even though you are hundreds of miles away.

You know what is happening right now, what will happen. While you may not beable to sense them, but you can sense me.

You stupid old fool.

I am going to get my children back, and they are going to remember who I am, and will love me. They will fight with me, not against me. They will be my allies. They are my children.

And children can never hate their mother.

I have won.
