Tom's POV:

"Breakfast!" I heard Edd yell from downstairs. I groaned, slowly opening my pitch black 'eyes' and carefully sitting up. I took a breath and stood up, leaving my room and going downstairs. I walked into the kitchen to see Edd and Matt there.

Edd was making some bacon and Matt was admiring himself in one of his million mirrors. Just a normal day. Edd heard me come in and turned around. He smiled at me. "Good morning, Tom! Did you sleep well?" He asked. I only let out a tired groan, earning a small chuckle from him.

I sat down next to Matt who finally looked away from the mirror he was holding and looked at me. "Oh hey, Tim!" I rolled my 'eyes', not bothering to correct him since I was way too tired. I answered him with a small nod.

Edd and Matt chatted while I was just trying to wake up completely. I hated mornings... Sometimes I just wanted to sleep and do nothing else. Well, except for drinking. Edd finished making breakfast and we started to eat. I noticed that somebody was missing.

"Hey Edd? Where's Tord?" I asked. They both looked at me, even Matt looked away from his lovely face. "You care about him?" Edd asked, smirking after wards. I glared at him. "No, just curious. When you're making bacon for breakfast, Tord is usually the first one here."

Edd didn't answer. It looked like he didn't realize that. even notice that Tord didn't come here. Heh, I knew they secretly didn't care for him. "Well, now that you mention it, can you go check on him? I didn't see him come out of his room ever since he came back yesterday." Edd sighed.

I didn't understand, what did he mean by that. "Came back? Where was he?" "I don't know. He just said he needs to go clear his head so he went out for a walk." He responded, rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

'Hmm, that's strange. Tord was never the kind of person to go out for walks.' I thought. It made me feel kinda curious about if something hapened to him, but I brushed the thought away. We never got along, so why should I even care about what was he doing?

I didn't say anything else, just continued eating my breakfast in silence. When I finished, I got up and washed the dirty plate. When I was about to go back up the stairs, I heard Edd say behind me. "Don't forget to go check on Tord!"

I rolled my 'eyes' in annoyance, walking back upstairs. I went into my room, not caring about what Edd just told me to do and closed the door behind me.


Tord's POV:

I was sitting on my bed, staring into nothing while holding a book. I wasn't really reading it, I was way too lost in my thoughts. Yesterday, my army kicked me out. Great. They didn't even tell me the reason!

'Oh well, at least I don't have to leave.' I thought, sighing softly and looked back into the book. I tried to relax, but I couldn't. I gave up and closed the book. I put it under my bed and went to my working table.

I liked inventing. It could be useful and I was kinda good at it! I even built a giant robot for the army since I wanted to...take over the world, but then stopped the plan. I didn't want to 'rule' the world... Why would I even do that? That was way too stupid and I would probably regret it later on.

I looked down, resting my head on my palm and started spacing out again. I was thinking about my latest invention. I created a gun that was suppose to make whoever shot someone with it immortal. It sounded crazy, yeah, but giant robot was not actually that normal either.

I wanted to test if the gun was working, but didn't want to accidentally hurt any of my friends. Not even Tom. Even though we never got along, I still cared about that idiot. He was a part of the group after all. And besides, Edd didn't want us to fight or argue.

Since I didn't want to use it on my friends, I could just try it on myself. But oh boy, what could happen to me if I tried it? Nobody knew the answer to that. But I needed to test it somehow! I sighed, snapping back to reality and grabbed the gun.

I slowly pointed it towards my head and closed my eyes. This moment could ruin my whole life or the opposite, make it better. It was worth a try, right? I placed my finger on the trigger and fired.


Tom's POV:

I left my room when I heard Edd call me. I was just playing my Susan, but since he wouldn't stop yelling my name so the whole house could hear, I gave in and went into the kitchen. Edd was there, glaring at me with crossed arms.

"Uhh, hey Edd. Are you okay? You look a bit angry. Did you run out of cola again?" He shook his head. "Thomas, where is Tord? Did you do what I asked you to?" I froze. Thomas... He only called me that when he was angry, he was not just joking around.

I looked around nervously, only to see Matt looking at Edd with wide eyes. He seemed pretty scared so he didn't say a word. Edd was maybe the type of person to joke around and make puns all the time, but when it came to his friends, he could even kill. I looked back at him. "Well, uhh.. I forgot, sorry." I answered. He sighed, shaking his head.

"Well, go get him now. You know Tord is usually waking up early and stuff, but it's 1 pm and he still hasn't showed up." He said in a serious tone, not looking away from me for a second. I just smiled nervously. "Sure, Edd. I'll go get him."

I walked away, heading back upstairs towarsds Tord's room. I stopped when I saw that the door to my room was opened. I knew that I closed it behind me when I left. Did Tord do this!? I ran inside to see nobody there... But I also noticed something else...

Tomee bear was not there. I crossed my arms. That Commie... I left my room, heading towards Tord's room. 'Wow, what a beautiful day.'
