Edd's POV:

"Ugh..." I lift my head and look around at my surroundings. This must be Tord's place.

"You're awake." I heard a voice from beside me say.

"Who are you?" I ask.

"I should be asking you. Which roommate are you?"

"Roommate? Wait, you know about the switching?!"

"Yeah. Your roommate Tom told me." Wait why is she saying roommate instead of friend that's wired.

"Sooo this is Tord's place and you are...?"

"Well I asked you first but I guess I'll just say who I am first, my name is Rose and I work for Tord." She calmly said while getting up.

"Are you his maid or something?"

"Ha! No." She exclaimed, "I'm captain of army section B."

"Army?"

"Yeah didn't he tell you he's a le-"

Knock knock

"Ugh I got to get this." Rose heads to the door but before leaving she said. "Don't leave this room you got that."

"Uh yeah, don't worry." She then left the room leaving me alone in the mostly dark room, the only light coming from an old lamp that would flicker ever so often. Should I head back to the house. Oh wait I can't I have to wait here... damn it.

I layed back down on the bed, laying on my back and looking up at the chipped ceiling. I'll call them in a bit I'm just going to take a nap for a bit due to the headache I was having; most likely because Tom was drinking...

Tom's POV:

Matt pulled me into my room and plopped us onto the floor in the middle of my room.

"Huh, it is pretty messy here." Matt glanced around.

"Like yours is any better."

"Well mine isn't full of useless trash like yours."

"Really." I scoffed.

"Whatever." Matt took a minute to think of something. "So how's being handsom- I mean me."

"Well if I have to be honest it's." I look at him, "it's not that bad, not as bad as being Tord."

"Yeah his place is scary and his face, it's horrible. Bla kind of makes me want to throw up thinking about it." Matt looked like he was about to puke.

"Y-yeah I did quite a number on him with my harpoon gun."

"I wonder what Edd is thinking about it?" Matt questioned. Shit... Edd, we should probably get him back instead of wasting Time. "Tom?"

"Hmm?!" I looked back over to him.

"We can switch again if you want to see Edd." Matt looked a bit sad, he must like talk and spending time with me.

"What, no, I- I'd like to stay, I'm just worried about Edd that's all." I fumbled my fingers a bit. "And it just feels weird looking at yourself you know..."

"No, not really." Matt looked me in the eyes. Sweat began to drip down my face.

"Is it just me or is it getting hot in here. I should probably turn on the AC." I was about to get up but Matt pulled me back down.

"Tom wait, are you alright, you don't seem okay is it me or-"

"No no! Matt I-I lik- like you it's just I, er-"

"What?" Matt instead to hear me out.

"I just, uhm, don't, like... me..." I sighed looking down at the ground.

"..." we sat there in silence for a bit as Matt slowly let go of the fabric of the clothes. "Tom... your cool and nice to your friends you know that."

"Yeah right, but I hurt you guys tho."

"Yeah but I know you don't mean to." Matt held my hand as he told me this. "And you look so cute when you get flustered but even better when you're having fun." I smiled at these. Matt's not a bad guy even though he is selfish and narcissistic he has some good to him to. Not everyone is a 100% bad I guess but then again not everyone is 100% good earthier.

"Thanks Matt but can you just not look at me when you are you know, me..." I pulled my hand back. "It's just your personality with my looks, it just does match."

"Well ok."

*object thing starting up noise.*

I looked up over to Matt and he was holding the object.

"Matt what are you doing?!?!" I said surprised.

"If you go back to Tords place make sure to call." Matt asked, then we blacked out.

Tord's POV:

I sat on the couch as Tom and Matt chatted I heard they were going to Tom's room, so I decided to have a snack. Wait do I even deserve to eat I fucked up my friends life's. No no just eat something so we can move on from this.

I headed to the kitchen and look in the fridge. I don't want to take anymore from them so I decided just not to eat and grab a glass of water. But I am in Edd's body so it wouldn't be necessarily taking from them. So I put the glass of water down on the counter and head back to the fridge.

Nope this still doesn't feel right, I then close the fridge again. Grab my glass of water and take a seat. A few minutes passed and I had finished my glass. I wonder what Tom and Matt are talking about. Probably how much of an ass I am.

"God damn it!" I yell angrily and drop my face down onto the counter. I'm supposed to be a god damn leader why am I feeling guilty for my old friends... scratch that there probably, most definitely not my friends anymore they said it themselves.

And I said it to...

I said it first...

Well actually Tom said it first to me but I actually betrayed them...

I destroyed there things and home...

I hurt them...

I almost killed them...

What would I need friends for if I've got an army!

I got up from my seat and head for Edd's car. Oh wait I got to get the keys. I headed back inside and found them. Yes ok time to get my job back. I opened the door and sat back into the seat. But as I was about to start the car and turn the key I felt a familiar dizziness.

Shit... so close...
