{Occurs during what would have happened if Zemus didn't try to destroy the Blue Planet} {FFIV fanfic} He was still an arrogant little boy. She was the perfect daughter. He was the heir to a kingdom. Her mother was the Leader of a village with ancestral roots. Imagine Zemus never brainwashed Theodore, and Cecil had never been abandoned. Edge's parents weren't murdered. Anna and Tellah lived. And Rydia still had her mother. There was no Final Fantasy; no race to save the Blue Planet. But somehow, they still meet at a party thrown in honor of the young Eblanese prince's tenth birthday. (I changed Edge's age, so he's closer to Young Rydia's age.) (Oneshot.)
