Tord went and grabbed Meg and went off to find Tom and fix things, for real this time. Hopefully. Then, he seen Matt walking around. "Matt!" He called to get his attention. Matt walked over to Tord and asked with slight worry, "Hey Tord...Um...do you know where Tom went?" "I don't know. But I'm going to find him." Tord said holding up the gun. Matt looked at it. "Are you going to..?" "Yes. I'm going to give his memories back." "And Edd's?" "Yes, and Edd's." Matt sighed thankfully. "Thank you Tord. For a second there I thought you would never give their memories back." He smiled. "What friend would I be if I didn't?" "A really bad one. Heh... Now go find Tom!" "Oh- oh...right! I'll come back soon!" Tord started speed walking towards the exit. Matt watched him leave.

The wind started to pick up, the cold breeze bit at Tom's face. His hair started to move with the wind. He looked up and saw dark clouds coming in. Rain for sure. Tom thought, If it's going to be a thunder storm, I don't think it's a good idea to be under these trees... And just like that, a loud boom could be heard in the distance. Thunder. Tom walked away from the trees and put his hood up. Rain started pouring hard and fast. Tom continued to walk, he didn't care where. He just wanted to get away from everyone. He wanted to be alone for once. Tom went up a hill, probably a bad idea but he didn't die yet so that's good. He went to the top and looked over the edge. It looked so unnatural for a hill like this. At the edge it was slanted on such a weird angel. It was most like a cliff than anything. The hill went father up than expected. Which made it hard to go near the edge without feeling uneasy. Tom looked over the edge to see what was over there. Nothing interesting.

Tord walked near the area where Tom was, the storm was still going hard. Tord left it red army uniform back at the base and only wore his red hoodie. He also tried to cover his robotic arm from the rain as much as possible. It would be bad if it started to brake, it'll start doing random stuff, shocking him, or it'll just shut down completely. We wouldn't want any of that happening, would we? Tord looked around and saw a hill, and up the hill he saw a blue hooded figure. The hoodie was the same blue as Tom's hoodie. It's Tom. He went up the hill to meet Tom at the top. "Tom!" Tord yelled so he could get Tom's attention. Tom turned and looked at him, his face looked bitter. He was not happy to see Tord. "What do you want, commie? Came to erase my memories, again?" Tom spat out angrily, he clearly noticed Meg in Tord's hand. "No, Tom...I came to do the opposite..." Tord said while rising Meg slowly. "Fine. Give my memories back. But that won't change what I think about you." Tom said. Tord mumbled quietly, "I know" and he shot at Tom. Tom looked as if he was about the fall over, but he remembered that he was right by the edge so he moved away from it. The rain started to calm down, it didn't seem so dark anymore either. "Tord..." Tom mumbled. "I know what you're going to say, you're going to be mad at me for what I did. And you have every right to be mad! I was stupid, selfish, and...and..." Tom cut Tord off by hugging him. They were both still for a moment. Then, Tom let go. "I'm sorry for the sudden action...I just didn't want you to get worked up and stuff..." Tom apologized. "mhm...that's totally why you hugged me."   "Shut it, commie." "Do you...do you forgive me..?" Tord asked hopefully. "Well, let's see what Edd thinks. Then we'll talk." Tom said starting to walk away. "Hou coming or what?" Tom was already a few feet ahead. "Yeah...I'm coming..." Tord replied. The rain completely stopped and revealed the sun. They both walked back to the base.
