Bad luck seemed to be the definition of the two of us being fused together. The whole time we had had weird and bad things happen to us, starting with the accident that caused all this. This took the cake. This was probably one of the worst things to happen so far. Edd had just destroyed one of the walls and when he climbed in, grinning like an idiot, he stepped on Susan, breaking the guitar neck like it was nothing.

"NOOO, MY BABY!" I screamed, staring at the bass I had just repaired a few days ago from the last 'accident' Edd had had with it. "What have you done, Edd?! What the hell have you done?! How could you?!"

"Oh... hehe, sorry about that, Tom." Although he said that, Edd didn't seem to care as much. His apologetic smile was replaced by a large grin again as he walked forward to us. "Soooo... you have secrets you want to share with Matt, but not with me? Why is that?" Silence. Neither Tord nor me really wanted to bother with a response. "And what is this whole becoming one person thing?"

Oh, so you are basically ignoring what you just did, Edd?! Is that how things work now?! Asshole...

Tom, calm down. Please, it's not worth it.

No, I won't, you stupid commie! Haven't you seen what he just did?! He doesn't even care about it! But when I drink one sip of his 'delicious' cola, he can freak out and-

We have no time for this. Edd just found out a little more about our problem than we wanted him to know. We could have went to the neighbours with our problem and it would've been less complicated than this. Besides, YOU deleted my hentai. I'm not going to feel sympathy for you.

An image of us standing in front of the neighbours house, talking with them about our problems flashed through my mind. Tord was right. It might have been ridiculous, but still better than having to deal with this bullshit.

I totally agree. Ugh, we have the worst luck anyone could have.

Oh really? I thought you'd never notice.

"Hello? Could I have an answer from you?" Edd asked, his tone annoyed.

"No," I answered, shaking my head. "No, you can't." I tried to calm myself down, but I couldn't and kept glaring at Edd, who either didn't notice or just ignored it.

"What? Why?" he asked, frowning back at us.

"Because we obviously don't want to." We were both completely done with all of this bullshit and honestly? I just wanted to sleep now, not caring if it was a bit early for that. At least then I wouldn't have to deal with Edd.

Edd sighed and turned to Matt. "What did they tell you?"

"I don't know, I forgot about it as soon as you interrupted the conversation." You can't imagine how much I wanted to hug Matt in this very moment. His forgetfulness was finally useful for something and didn't make me want to yell at this dumbass. For once.

"Come on, Matt! You have to remember something!" Edd groaned, obviously very disappointed, and all we could do was watch them, grinning smugly. He glared at us, but we didn't care. We were finally amused instead of being angry or scared. This was fucking hilarious.

"Alright, I will go get myself a can of coke now and when I am back here I'll make SURE you guys tell me what's going on!" He left with clenched fists, glaring at us one last time before he walked out of the door. I had to keep myself from bursting out into laughter.

"That... that was hilarious," Tord smirked at Matt. "Matt, you're the best. Seriously, that was amazing."

"I know, right?" Matt replied with a smile. "Now you need to give me one of your inventions."

"W-what? No!"

"Hey, I didn't tell Edd about your secret. Be grateful I only ask for that. I could ask you to be my personal slave..." That smug bastard...!

"So you basically just lied to Edd so you could take advantage of the situation? I never thought you'd be capable of doing so. Good job! But still...no," I answered, crossing my arms.

He smiled. "Okay..." Then he yelled as loud as possible, "EDD, I THINK I JUST REMEMBERED WHAT TORM AND I TALKED ABOUT!!"

"When will you realise our name isn't Torm?!" I hissed at him.

That's your priority?!

"Awesome!" Edd shouted from the kitchen. Oh shit, he would find out if we didn't let Matt do what he wanted... Ugh, this was a mess. We really didn't want him to know. He seriously thought this whole being fused thing was good for us.

Tord, we need to make sure he doesn't tell Edd! I don't think it's a good idea if he knows... let's just do what he wants.

I know, Tom, but I can't just give him my stuff that I need-

The inventions don't matter! I don't care if they're dangerous or anything like that and if you almost lost an eye because of one years ago and the same might happen to Matt and- oh no.

Nonono! You shouldn't know that! You shouldn't-!

We can't...

I can't...

No, what's happing to us?

"Are you okay?" our ginger friend asked, frowning as he stepped towards us. Great, now even the narcissist in our friend group pitied us.

We looked at Matt, but we really didn't think it was a good idea to tell him about our problems. Maybe we should just figure this out on our own. Getting others involved just wasn't a good idea.

"Yeah, we are... we are fine..." we replied slowly.

"Are you sure...? You don't seem very-?"

We just wanted him to leave... we just wanted to be alone... we just wanted to get some sleep...

We grabbed one of Tord's inventions that was near us , some weird purple box from the size of an eyeball - Actually that's a- I don't care, commie! - and gave it to him. "There you go! Now please leave!"

"Thanks, Torm!" he squeaked and ran out of our room, triumphantly holding the invention over his head. Finally some peace!

"That's not our-" We stopped mid sentence and sighed. "Let's just go to sleep..."
