It's been a day since the argument with Tom. Tord hasn't regretted not apologizing to him still. He still believes that he should be treated more fairly by him after all that he's been through. 

But then again, he did try to kill him in a giant robot, but that's all in the past. Tord is different now. He's not that crazed man that wished to rule the world. He's just Tord, the fun loving guy in the group.

There was a knock on the door. Tord got up from the couch and opened it. To his surprise, the person at the door was Matt. He jumped when he saw Tord, which earned him a wince from Tord. 

"H-hey Todd!" Matt said. Tord narrowed his eyes."Tord." he corrected his friend."Is Edd inside?" "Right here!" Edd's voice chirped. Tord turned his head to see his green hoodied friend get off of the couch and walk over to them."Hey Matt! What do you need?" Edd asked.

Matt smiled at the sight of Edd."I was wondering if you would like to go to the mall with me." Matt asked."I heard there is a make-up artist there and I want them put make-up on my beautiful face!" 

Edd smiled."Sure!" he said. Tord smiled, but the pain from not having a pain pill for the day stopped him midway."Can I come with you guys?" he asked, hoping not to stay a day alone with Tom. Matt and Edd looked at him."I don't see why not." Edd said happily.

Matt opened his mouth to reply, but quickly closed it. "While we're out we can pick up Tom's prescription." Tord added."Oh, that reminds me." Edd said, digging a hand into his hoodie pocket. He pulled out a pill bottle and put it in Tord's robotic hand.

"Tom gave me these saying that you can have them." he said. Tord blinked. That was unlike Tom. Maybe he just doesn't need them anymore. Whatever the reason, Tord was just happy to have them back. He popped the cap off and took a pill. 

He then recapped the top and stuffed it in his hoodie pocket. Tord then looked at the two of them."Are we ready to go?" he asked. The two of them nodded. Together they exited the apartment and down the hallway.

They reached the red car that belonged to them and hopped in. Tord sat in the passenger side of the car, Edd sat in the driver seat, and Matt sat alone in the back. Edd turned the car on. It purred with a start of life. Tord looked out the window as they pulled out of the parking lot and into the road.

The ride to the mall was long and silent. The three had nothing to talk about. Especially Tord since he's sorta the outcast of the group at the moment. Tord sighed. He thought about that flashback where he hit Matt. He felt so angry and anxious for them to stop. He wondered how he triggered that flashback, and how to prevent more coming. 

He doesn't want to know what he did. He doesn't want to remember and be that terrible person Edd had described. Trying to kill Tom and taking over the world. Well, killing Tom doesn't sound that bad, but taking over the world? That's the top of any bad guy's to do list, and Tord's not evil!

Tord turned to look at Edd. At least he forgives him for his actions. Unlike Tom. Tord shook his head. This is supposed to be a relaxing day. He should't be thinking of him on a day like this. "So, did you know what kind of make-up job you want Matt?" Edd asked, which shot Tord out of his thoughts.

"I'm hoping to do some blush, eye liner, maybe a brow wax..." Matt answered. Tord turned around to face Matt."You do realize this stuff is for girls." Tord asked. Matt glared at him."Just because I am not a female doesn't mean I can't use that stuff." Matt declared. Tord smiled at confidence of Matt speaking to him. 

Maybe he's getting over his fear of him. "We're here!" Edd said. Tord turned around and saw the mall. "Yay!" Matt screamed, quickly unbuckling himself and rushing out of the car. Tord unbuckled as well. He stepped out of the car and onto the pavement. He stared happily at the mall. 

He just knows he's gonna have fun today. Tord heard Edd step out of the car. He turned to him and saw in horror someone else. It was Paul. He was hovering over someone with a gun to their face."Please, don't do this." the person pleaded. 

Tord opened his mouth to scream out no, but instead orders to do it came flying out. Paul nodded his head. Tord shut his eye tight to not see what happens next. "Tord? Tord?" Tord heard his name being called out. He opened his eye to see that he was back in the mall parking lot.

Edd and Matt were staring at him. Confusion and worry lining there faces. Tord looked at them."Are you okay?" Edd asked. Tord nodded."Just....Had a light headed moment." he lied. Edd looked concerned at him."Okay...." Edd said. Matt smiled."Well what are we waiting for? Come on!" he yelled, taking a run towards the mall.

Edd sighed."Matt, watch out for cars! Matt!" he screamed, running after Matt. Tord stared at them. Horror filled thoughts ran through his mind. What did he just see? Another flashback? Why did he say that to Paul? More importantly why where they going to kill that person? 

"Tord are you coming!" Tord jumped at the sound of Edds voice. He realized that he was looking down at the pavement. He looked up to see Edd and Matt waiting patiently at the door of the mall. Tord cupped his hands together."Yeah, just wait a second!" he hollered at the two.

"Okay!" Edd yelled back. Tord sighed. He began to walk towards the two. Maybe today wasn't going to be such a relaxing day after all.
