Farewell to the fire that burnt the past.

Summary:

Eustace is very happy to be with his mom.
Pops always make her go away to do her judge stuff, she was a judge after all.

She seemed very unhappy around pops, but her smile was great when she was around Eustace.

One day. Something bad occured.
Mom disappeared and pops never talked about her again.
Pops became more tough on Eustace but he didn't know why.
He was blamed for her disappearence on a dumb fire.

Huh. Weird. He can't remember anything about a fire.

Just the vague memory of what he thought was his mom.
A smiling green-eyed judge.

Notes:

INTRODUCING... Amelia Wander (Winner)!!

" Eustace! Dinner is ready! "

...
Was it a dream? Sebastian couldn't tell.
It was odd he was being called his former name.
He was clearly smaller, ten or less, probably.

" Eustace..? Are you there? "
Ok, this was definitely a dream.
So he went.
" There you are, Eustace! Please don't worry me like this again. "
The voice of a woman, he barely recognized it. The lady seemed oddly familiar, but he couldn't recognize her.
She looked similar to him in hair, strands of her hair were blue, her eyes brightly green.
It clicked all of a sudden.
That must have been his mother.
" Silly me, Eustace. Let's go to eat dinner, i made lasagna! Also, your father will come home late today, so please don't wait for him awake again, i don't want you to lose sleep, star. "
Her voice was almost soothing, if only he could remember.
He followed his mother to the dinner table, he heard something she was saying, maybe he could talk with her.
" Star, did you know that children like you need to sleep at least 9-12 hours a day? "
" Why is that, mom?. " Eustace asked almost instantly.
" Because its essential for physical growth, learning, and memory, in a sumary, you'll need it because it helps you grow stronger and gives you concentration, insufficient sleep can cause irritability, moodiness, and behavioral problems, also reducing concentration and negatively affect your studies! " She answered, as if that'd be the most easy thing to understand in the world.
" W-what? "
" Oh, silly me again! Its because it can make you not grow as strong, take off your concentration and give you mood swings! " She answered, putting it to a well summary again.
" Oh, i understand now! Thank you, mom! " Eustace said without giving it time to think.
" You are welcome, Star. " She said. Her tone full of something Eustace couldn't place. Similar to the warmth Mr Edgeworth gave. Maybe.
...

Sebastian woke up now, in his present.
He was in his bed, he was now awake.
Clearly, not in his former house, where he grew up.
He was now an adult. He had changed his name.
Ok, this was odd.
The dreams about his past wasn't as usual anymore.
He had almost forgotten about his mother, was this a reminder that he should do something?
He tried to remember everything that happened in the week, it was an odd week, either way.
Mr Edgeworth had gotten married to that man.
Eustace had attended the wedding.
Everything went as planned.
He woke up.

Cases and everything-
It all went fine.
Some doubt creeped through his mind.
And he remembered why he had that dream.

He felt familiarity around that new judge.
Huh, weird.
No, that judge couldn't be his mom!
His mom supposedly died in a fire to save him long ago.
It was better if he just went on to work as usual..
That'd be a problem for tomorrow.
