Tord titled his head in confusion. "What is it?" He asked putting a hand under his chin and using the couch for support. "You've been...acting weird...keeping a lot of secrets..." Tom explained. "You saying I can't have secrets? Says the one who used to sneak out the old house all the time." Tord joked with a smile on his face. Tom looked at Tord with confusion and with slight surprise. "You knew I did that? I...never told you..." Tom said. Tord looked a bit worried for a moment then thought, He probably forgot he told me... "I just heard you sneak out in the middle of the night way back when." Tord explained lying. Tom looked at him for a moment then said, "I guess all these years I wasn't that sneaky as I thought I was." Tom had somewhat of a smile on his face. Tord smiled back. It felt just like old times, before Tord left, and erased their memories. "So, what does the upgrade for Meg do?" Tom asked trying to change the subject. "Oh...well-" Tord stopped himself. Stick with the plan, Tord! You can't tell him YET "It was just...I was just making it more powerful that's all." Tord explained. Once again, lying. He hated doing this, he promised the 'past' Tom that he would never lie again. But, he had to. Tord wondered how much Tom remembered. Does he even remember how they met? Tord got cut off by his thoughts from Tom snapping his fingers in his face. "Tord, you're on Earth. Not daydream land." Tom joked. Tord shook his head coming back to reality. "Right, right...right..." "So...are you still a commie?" Tom asked jokingly. Tord replied back with a smile on his face, "You still a jahovas witness?" "...Is that a yes?" "I told you...got fired." "How...how did you get fired?" "Giant robot." "Ah..."
Tord may have lied a bit there but, he couldn't tell Tom the truth.
Yet.

Around the corner there was Matt and Edd. Spying on Tom and Tord like the little spys they were. "We need to make them kiss." Edd explained with a cat like smile on his face. Matt giggled. "I agree." "I have a plan." Edd said opening a cola can silently with a determined face. "What is it?" Matt asked. "I'll try to make them look in the same direction, and when I say 'cola' you run in and push them into each other. Got it?" Edd explained the plan while taking a sip of cola at the end. "Got it. But why say cola?" "Because I like cola." Edd replied back. "Of course." Matt smiled. "Ready?" Edd asked. "Ready." "You ready ready?" "ready ready" "are we ready?!" "Yes! Are you ready!?" "Yeah I'm ready? you ready?!" "Yeah!" "Yeah!!" Edd and Matt replied to each other. "Yeah, I'm ready." Matt finally said. "Let's go." Edd said walking out in front of Tom and Tord.

What is Edd doing..? Tord thought to himself as he looked at Edd in front of him. "Guys, I have a game! Want to play?" Edd asked with a smile on his face. "No-" Tom said "Sure..?" Tord said unsure. "Okay, both of you, close your eyes." They both closed their eyes. "Now, Tord. come over here." Edd said grabbing Tord's arm and dragging him in front of the couch facing left. "Okay..? Now what?" Tord asked confused. "Wait a moment..." Edd replied back grabbing Tom's arm. "Now, come over here Tom." Edd dragged Tom also in front of the couch, directly in front of Tord. Facing right. "Now, COLA!" Edd yelled cheerfully. "Cola?" Tom asked in confusion. "What col-" Tord was cut off by two hands pushing on his back, making him go forwards.
Making his lips making contact with Tom's.

Both of their eyes flicked open, they both hesitated before pulling off of each other. Tom sat back on the couch and pulled his hoodie over his face. Both Edd and Matt were laughing like the best joke has been told to them. Tord stood still. Not knowing what to feel, anger, embarrassment, or love.
he was Probably a mix of them all right now.
"I hate you all." Tom mumbled from inside of his hoodie. "Aw, cheer up Tom!" Matt said to Tom looking cheerful. "I'm not gonna 'cheer up'." Tom walked to his room and closed to door behind him. "I'm just gonna...go..." Tord said walking out the door.

"Did we succeed?" Edd asked
"Probably not."
"Too bad."
"Oh well, at least it was fun for us!"
"I...guess..."
"You okay, Edd?"
"Maybe we went too far?"
"Tom will get over it. Tord will too."
"If you say so."
Matt brushed Edd's hair with his hand, calmly.
Edd didn't seem to mind, he seemed to like it.

"I may seem dumb, but I know we'll all be friends again. Just like old times."
"You're not dumb Matt...
not to me."
