Tom's POV

Matt- did he notice it was me... I did say my name so most likely. I set the phone off to the side, not wanting to answer it. I gave a sigh and grabbed my boze.

Some more time later
Time -7:05am

"Hey Tom." Rose appeared out of nowhere.

"Huh *hic." I rubbed my head.

"You alright." She placed herself on the seat next to me. "You didn't even dance, and you set up this party. Who called Anyway."

"Nobody..."

"Come on, tell me." She begged being out of her ruff army personality and into a more fun personality. I sighed.

"It was Matt, one of my fr- roommates." I took a sip but nothing came out.

"You know what, I'm sure that's enough for you." She took the bottle from my hand. "This was a good party, Emma even asked me out." She blushed a bit.

"Nice, but if she hurts you though."

"She's good, don't worry... Hey Tom?"

"Yeah?"

"Want to be friends?"

"You're alright so sure."

"Well you want to get out of here or?"

"I'm going to stay for a bit *hic*, how about you?" I asked, sitting back in my seat.

"I'll stay here and make sure you don't make a mess."

"Fair."

Edds POV:

Tord called and called but no answer even on Matt's phone.

"God damn it! Why does he answer Matt but when I called he doesn't answer."

"Well like you said it might be on silent." I said while sitting on my bed. Tord gave up and sat next to me. "Do you think we should do the next plan."

"Fine if we have to." Tord sighed.

"So which one do you think we should do?" I asked. Tord hesitated for a second to think of his answer.

"How about we try switching again."

"You sure?"

"Yeah, why not?"

"What if Matt ends up at your place then goes back to his normal body?" I reminded him.

"Well you were the one who promised that to him."

"Well, let's just hope it doesn't end up like that again. Anyway I think I left it in the living room." I got up and headed there. "Oh bye the way." I turned around towards him. "You know those two things you were going to tell me."

"Hmm?" Tord forgot what I asked.

"I asked what you found on Tom's phone but I don't really care about that as much as I care about the second one."

"What was the second one again?"

"You know, how Tom turn into that creature thing." I gestured.

"Oh, yeah... can we talk about that after we fix this first." I gave him a face like 'really?'. "You can still call me you know."

"You sure your going to pick up or will it be on silent mode." I joked.

._. - Tord

"Ok, ok fine I just going to start up the object so get somewhere comfortable." I headed out.

Tord POV:

I smiled, he seemed to be lighting up a bit and acting less like Tom. Maybe we could hang out again after this. Just hopefully I can get some free time from the base. And hope he's fine with how I look.

Shit...

He might not like it, seeing me in person again...

Matt's POV:

I exit Edd's room to get his cola. But before I could enter the kitchen I saw the object again, lying on the brown wooden coffee table. I don't like that thing. It ruined everything we could have had a somewhat of a normal life and Tord could be gone, instead of Tom being gone. Why did I have to go to that dum shop. I plopped myself onto the red couch putting my head on my hand. I look down at it.

Everything could have been better if I wasn't so selfish...

I pulled my legs up on the couch and rested my head into my arms.

...

"Matt?" I heard a voice say as I was tapped on the shoulder. It sounded like, Tom! But then I remember he wasn't here. I wiped my face with my sleeves and looked over to the voice. "You alright Matt?" He sounded worried. Tears started to form again as I looked into the two black voids placed in the middle of his face. "Oh, uh, Matt-" I look back down at my legs still curled up on the sofa.

Then out of nowhere I was hugged from the back. I stopped and sat up at this sudden motion. Then the hug was released, the pressure was gone.

"Matt." I looked over to him as he appeared beside me.

"Oh! Uh, sorry Edd I forgot to get your cola." I was about to get up but then Edd signed me to not.

"It's fine." He sighed. "We're going to switch again Anyway." I got scared when he said we were going to switch again. "Don't worry it's most likely the last time we're going to do it ok, and if you do get switched to Tord's body can you try and come back home."

I nodded.

Edd grabbed the object and started it up.

...

Tom's POV:

I was starting to get tired. Rose was on her phone as time passed. I think it was starting to be day. I wasn't completely sure what time it was. And I was too drunk to check Tord's phone. Rose also took away my alcohol too. I began to rest my head onto her shoulder.

"How you doing Tom?" She questioned looking over to me and setting down her phone.

"I feel a bit better, just a bit tired."

"Alright, should we head back?" She asked mostly because people were starting to clean up and get back to work.

"Okay." I answered. She helped me up after getting herself up.

"I can walk, I can walk." I repeated pushing myself aside from her. I then began to stumble a bit.

"Are you sure you can walk by yourself?" She asked. I catched myself and stood up as straight as I could.

"Yep!" I said proudly, and started to walk off.

"Wait up." She laughed a bit.

We were almost down to my- Tord's room/office when I started to feel light headed. I was fine and getting better on the walk here but for some reason it's back. Did Edd activate the object or something?

"Wow, Tom you alright." She put her hands out incase I where to fall.

"Yeah-" I grasped my head. "I just think Edd- we- I- about to sw-" I then blacked out.
