  It's currently the evening, I've decided that instead of sleeping I'd just work out. In my room of course.

Here I am doing push ups on the floor, listening to music, because I couldn't sleep. I mean, would YOU be able to sleep if you found out that your former crush and best friend was literally the leader of a ginormous army that's currently taking over the world? I didn't think so.

"35..36..37.." I'd keep track of what number I'm on as I try to keep up with the beat. My train of thought would be quickly broke as a knock was heard from my door. I'd get up, "Coming!!" I'd yell as I rushed to turn off the music. I ran to my door and opened it. "What do you want Pa-" I quickly cut myself off before I finished my sentence. The figure who stood infront of me looked down, with an eyebrow cocked. "Oh, um, Red Leader sir, please come in." I'd step aside for him to come in. He'd nod and make his way to my bed, sitting down, before heaving out a sigh.

"What do you need Sir?" I question, sitting down at my desk. "You can drop the whole 'Red Leader' thing now. It's just you and I." My mouth made an 'O' shape as he said that. "Um okay, but still what's up?" I'd ask. "I..I just want to catch up you know..I haven't seen you in years." "Likewise."

"Well..What happened to you after I left?" He'd ask, looking at me. "I should be the one asking that question, you're the one who cut contact." I'd mumble, a little bitterly. He'd look at me with a loss for words, "I um.." He'd just sigh, "I'll explain everything." I'd nod.

"Before I left I was scheming for job ideas and just any form of money. I had come across the idea of becoming an inventor seeing how I had constantly constructed things. I was going to wait a bit longer but once I applied and got accepted they had given me a date I needed to be there. So I packed my stuff and left. I was constantly busy and had no time to chat with anyone so I couldn't message back. Soon after, business was getting slower and slower and it ended up taking money out of my paycheck so I left again. At that point I was desperate for anything, so my friend Pat reached out to me for an offering in, whats now, The Red Army. I immediately accepted it and began. I was like you, climbing ranks quickly and being rewarded. One night at a meeting with all the other armies the former leader was shot and killed, leaving me the title of "Red Leader". I took the name in honor and here we are." He'd chuckle after dropping that bombshell on me. My jaw was hanging open, but i quickly put it back. "That doesnt explain your arm or face." I reply simply. He'd his through his teeth and cringe. "Oh yeah...um.. Okay. After I became leader I set myself out for world domination, but I needed the robot for my first step. I had managed to trick Edd and Matt into letting me back but Tom had quickly figured it out. I was just gonna grab the robot and ditch but I guess they had other plans. Thomas caught me in the act and I panicked and tried to leave, also trying to get rid of evidence. Tom managed to shoot me out of the air with his stupid harpoon and I exploded. The end." My jaw was practically unhinged from my face. I was in SHOCK.

"So, what about you?" He'd ask, nonchalantly.  "Oh, um. After you left my parents broke up and I had left with my father, I tried contacting you but it was no use. I had managed to make new friends at my new school in hopes of just forgetting it, but it didn't work. Soon after I managed to get myself in multiple relationships but none of them worked out, until my last one. We were together for about 4 years before he moved to safety from the Red army, so we broke up. My father was getting worried about getting abducted so he taught me martial arts and self defense. He had full rights to be worried because they found us. He was trying to save me but..yknow..died in the process. I was scared and fled until I was ready. When I was I decided, if I cant beat 'em I can still join them, and thats what I did." He looked at me, a bit of shock on his face. "Oh, wow.. That is a lot to take in.." I'd just nod in agreement.

The rest of the time he was in my room we had caught up and decided to play some board games. It had been about 00:32 when he had left my room for some "Leader Duties." I'm just glad we spoke again, before i though it was hopeless.
