Tom's POV:

"...What..?" Was all I could manage to say. I carefully picked Tord up and we went into the room. We were all terrified of what we saw... A lab... Lots of potions, pills, syringes and other dangerous stuff.

"What- How did this get here? What is this!?" Edd seemed shocked. Matt was scared while looking at one of the potions that kept changing colours. I came closer to an open bottle that was full of pills.

"Did Tord eat some of these.?" I asked, looking back down at Tord that was passed out in my arms. "That could explain what happened. What are these pills?" I turned my attention back to the bottle and read the label on it, but all it said was 'Work in progress'.

Did Tord know about this lab? I meant the adult version of Tord.. Why was this here? "I'm confused! What are all these for?" Matt asked, picking up another potion and examining it closely. Edd did the same.

I started spacing out, feeling Tord struggle to wake up. He opened his eyes slowly and looked at me. Well, that didn't last long. He was already waking up. "Ow..." He whined in pain. I carefully laid him down on the bed and told him to go back to sleep. He needed rest after all. He ate some weird pills, who knew what it did to him..

I turned around, only to see Matt about to drink a green potion and Edd desperately trying to stop him. I helped him and threw the potion on the floor. "Matt, are you crazy? Who knows what that potion was!" Matt looked offended. "Well excuse me! But I just wanted to find out what it did!" He protected himself. "Matt, that could've killed you!" "But it didn't have to!"

I rolled my 'eyes' and just ignored them acting like little kids. "P-Paul...?" We heard Tord mumble. We all went quiet and saw him sleeping on the bed and mumbling. We decided to listen since we were curious. Who was Paul?

"Where's Pat..?" I tilted my head. We didn't understand what he said after that. Probably norwegian again.. Seriously, I should learn it. "Du hater meg likevel..." Edd and Matt looked just as confused as I was.

He didn't say anything after that. Maybe he was just having a dream. It probably didn't mean anything. After a few minutes of silence, we turned back to the potions. "...I'm going to try this one!" "MATT, NO-"


Tord's POV:

I woke up. I still felt really tired though. As if I wasn't sleeping in years. I noticed it was dark outside, it was probably late. Dad was in the room with me, he was sleeping. I didn't want to disturb him.

I stood up and decided to get a glass of water. But the pain in my head almost made me cry out in pain. I couldn't see much so I quickly found the wall and followed it towards the door. I opened it, making a faint creak sound and tip toed out of the room.

I went into the kitchen and opened a window to let some fresh air in. I took a deep breath and got the glass. I tried to reach for it, but it was too high up. I sighed in annoyance when I heard a loud crash.

I jumped and turned my head at the source of the noice I heard only to see... "Blue!" I shouted, grinning and hugging the small white pup. "I completely forgot about you, buddy!" Blue licked my cheek, I just kept on smiling.

She barked when I realized she coudl wake the others up. "Shh, calm down!" I put a finger on my mouth to tell her to be quiet. She didn't seem to understand it and barked again. I covered her mouth. "Shh!"

I then looked on the floor, only to find a broken plate there. "So this was the loud crash I heard." I said to myself. Blue cuddled to me, sticking her tongue out. I petted her soft fur ad hugged her again.

"Look, I'm glad you're here, but look at the mess you've made! I need to clean this up." I let go of her and started picking up the broken pieces of the now broken plate. I was being really careful not to hurt myself accidentally.

I threw them in the trash and look at Blue who was on the kitchen counter. "Blue, get back down!" She just looked at me, panting. Her face was literally saying 'Come up here'. I tried to jump up on the counter as well, but failed.

After the fifth try, I gave up and dragged one of the chairs close to it. I crawled up on the chair and since I was high enough, I stepped on the counter. 'Yay! Now I can reach the glass!' I thought, grabbing it and closing the cupboard that was above me.

"Tord!" I flinched when I heard Edd. "What are you doing? Get back down before you fall!" He ran up to me and picked me up. I sighed. "I'm fine." He set me and Blue down, crossing his arms and looking down at me. "What were you doing up there?" I looked down, ashamed of myself. "Sorry.. I just wanted to get a glass of water." I answered him.

His face softened. Blue barked to get his attention. "How did she get here?" Edd questioned, pointing at the white fluffy ball. "She just came here through the window." I scratched her ear, smiling.

Edd, smiled. "Well, okay then. Are you feeling better?" He asked me. I raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?" "After what happened yesterday. You know, you ate some weird pills.." I was confused. What the stars was he talking about?

"You...don't remember?" He asked. I just shook my head in responce, genuinely confused. He scratched the back of his neck. "That's strange..." "What's strange?" "That you don't remember." Okay, now it was getting annoying.

"What happened?" I asked him, hugging Blue again. He didn't answer. "Look, it's nothing important, okay? Don't worry about it, just forget it. Now, let's get you back to sleep." He grabbed my hand and I followed him back upstairs with Blue following behind us.

I walked back into the room adnd crawled on my bed, hugging Blue and closing my eyes. She licked the tip of my nose and I smiled. "Goodnight, Blue." I said before falling into a deep slumber. 'Tomorrow is another day...'

What I didn't know was that the next day was going to be a little bit different from any other.


Hey, guys! Sorry for not uploading for a while. I was still recovering. I'm okay now. I'm sorry that the chapter was a bit shorter, but hey, I'm tired. The next one will be longer, I promise.
