Time seemed to slow down as Tord was falling to the ground in his robot. Everything was so silent, but yet so loud. There was a small ringing that seemed to get louder as the time slowly continued. The ringing began to get louder and louder, Tord could hear some one calling his name. And then, nothing. Everything went blurry after that.

"TORD!"

Tord snapped his head up in suprise only to see a child in front of his desk. "Come on sleepy head it's time for recess!" Tord looked around confused. He was in a classroom with a red shirt with a robot logo on the front. He's definately much more smaller than how he was before. The boy that woke him up dragged him outside to the playground where more children were at, playing, swinging, sliding, etc.

But what really caught his eyes were a person in green with chocolate colored hair being yelled at by another kid to get off the swing. Tord remembers this. This is how he met Edd, he helped him then.

But what now?
He wasted Edd's life with him only to betray him and die in the end.

What would happen if he hadn't helped him? Guess he'll have to find out.

Tord walked right passed them, minding his own buisness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tord looked around wondering where he was now. He was in a hallway with lockers and was wearing a long black trench coat and reeked of cigarettes. Middle school.

All of a sudden he got pushed against the lockers. "Haha, hey guys look! It's the new nerd freak." The man said with his arm pushed up against Tord's  neck. "Come on guys, leave him alone." Tord looked over his shoulders to see a man in blue and void eyes. This is how he met Tom.

"Or what, huh? What're you gonna do about it?" He turned slowly to Tom and let Tord go. Tom made direct eye contact with Tord and quickly and silently tilted his head to the side as a sign to run. Tord gulped. What he did last time was stay with Tom so he doesn't get hurt.

But why do that when in the future you both will be hurting eachother? You'll die losing a fight that you've been having with him for years.

Tord nodded, and ran.
Not looking back at what injuries they're currently giving him that didn't happen before. Only making this choice for the better. Not soon but for the future.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now Tord was at College? He remembered he dropped out to become red leader.

Tord was outside of the building with a laptop open in front of him. "Mind if I sit here?" Tord looked up to see a ginger with freckles in all the perfect places, bright blue eyes and dressed nicely. Has to be Matt.

But he was introduced to Matt by Edd? I guess they would have met either way and he didn't become the red leader this way. "Yeah go right ahead." Tord answered. Matt took a seat in front of Tord and set his stuff down. "Hello, my name is Matt." He said as he held his hand out for Tord to shake. Tord looked at hid hand and thought. He already made sure he has no future with Edd and Tom, might as well do the same with Matt.

"Tord." He said as he looked back at hid laptop without shaking Matt's hand. Matt pulled his hand back and began to work. Tord saw the work he had to do but he didn't know how. So, he just went to minecraft.

The two sat in silence until it was time to go.

Now everything is white. Tord just did that. They won't know who he is anymore.

And so, up high in the sky Tord watched over them as they lived their perfect lives with one another in the same house with the same grey cat.

Although something seemed off. Like something is missing for Tom, Edd and Matt. But none of them mentioned it. They did their adventures and they're all friends, there's nothing else they really need.
