Future Eddsworld in THEY'LL KEEP YOU RUNNING AU

✯*The Next Day.*✯ CHAPTER 2

*Edd wakes up to talking in the distance while wondering what's going on he hears footsteps approaching him*

Future Matt-"Good morning Edd, how did you sleep, I hope that it wasn't so bad for you..."

Future Edd-"Heh, thanks for your concern Matt, but I guess it was fine...."

Future Matt-"What's wrong?"

Future Edd-"Huh, oh nothing...."

Future Matt-"Come on Edd I'm your old friend, I know something's bothering you right now."

Future Edd-"Yeah it's just, I don't understand why it had to go down like this..."

Future Matt-"I completely understand what you mean Edd."

Future Edd-"I mean, don't you think that there's a reason to why "Red Leader" is doing all of this?"

Future Matt-"I've often wondered that."

*Red Leader walks in the room.*

Red Leader-"So, you guys talking about me huh?"

Future Matt-"N-no not at all Red Leader sir!"

Red Leader-"You two are getting pretty close again I must say, but hey don't get to close now Matt, you understand?"

Future Matt-"I-I understand Red Leader sir."

Red Leader-"Good, now I trust that you'll feed and watch him right?"

Future Matt-"Uh sure thing sir, why?"

Red Leader-"Because I have important things to discuss with Tomas."

*Red Leader walks off leaving Edd and Matt alone.*

Future Edd-"Matt, you still count me as your friend?"

Future Matt-"Of course I do, why wouldn't I?"

Future Edd-"Because you work-"

Future Matt-"Yeah, yeah I work for Tord, what does that have to do with me being your friend though Edd?"

Future Edd-"Heh, you still haven't changed have you Matt?"

Future Matt-"No not really..."

Future Edd-"Can I ask you one question though...?"

Future Matt-"Yeah, you can..."

Future Matt-"What is it?"

Future Edd-"What happened to your eye and chin?"

Future Matt-"What do you mean?"

Future Edd-"I mean, why are they metal?"

Future Matt-"Oh that, well all I can say is that's what happens when you work for and army..."

Future Edd-"O-Oh, I'm sorry Matt..."

Future Matt-"No, don't be I chose this life..."
