By the age of 17 Tony had gained the reputation of a bad boy. Getting into bands like Kiss, Rolling Stone, Metallica, AC/DC and Pink Floyd just to name a few. He started becoming a little more arrogant and he knew it. The sass that came out of his mouth was inappropriate and said at the wrong times. He had taken up to the habit of being with a bunch of different women. Just not for long.

Rhodey and Pepper were still close to him. Even Harold "Happy" Hogan. They were all good friends sticking by Tony through thick and thin. Jarvis was still proud of Tony. The boy had so much potential. Yet, he was young and of course he had time to grow up eventually. But for now it was normal for a young man like Tony to have fun. Although Jarvis had heard rumors of Tony showing up to class with a hangover. He doubted it. Although it wasn't impossible to imagine. His father was trying his best to stay away from Tony. Jarvis could understand. Howard was a very secretive man, and people were out to get his company. He had a feeling that Obadiah Stane was one of many. But didn't say anything.

"Jarvis school is so boring." Tony whined over the phone.

"I see. Well you don't have to worry about it much anymore do you sir?" Jarvis replied. "You will be graduating in a couple of weeks."

"Yeah and at the top of my class too." Jarvis could practically see Tony grinning from the other end.

"I know so don't complain too much sir. Once you're home I'll prepare hamburgers and junk food."

"Jarvis. Now I can't wait to go home. I've missed your cooking. For a bunch of elite cooks. Their food doesn't compare to yours."

"I'm flattered sir. And once you return you wouldn't mind fixing my watch again would you?"

"Jarvis do you really need to ask?"

"I believe not sir."

Being the youngest to graduate MIT was a really big achievement. When Tony was called up he looked out to the crowd of parents and just when he thought no one he knew would be there. He spotted Rhodey, Pepper and Happy clapping the hardest. Tony couldn't help but smile. He made a peace sign as he exited the stage and was quickly being swarmed by his friends. Almost all of his friends.

"What the hell are you guys doing here?" Tony asked surprised.

"To see you graduate." Rhodey explained like it was the most obvious answer ever.

"Yeah but how?"

"Jarvis got us together and so we're here." Pepper explained.

"Yeah, congrats buddy." Happy said.

"Thanks. But where is Jarvis?" Tony asked looking at the crowd of people. Trying to find his butler.

"Right here sir." Jarvis stated beside Tony.

"J you actually made it!"

"Of course sir. I wouldn't have missed it for the world." Jarvis smiled. Tony couldn't help it. He just hugged Jarvis. For an awkward amount of time that is. Until Rhodey coughed.

"Oh yeah, sorry about that J…" Tony stated letting go of Jarvis.

"It's quite alright sir. Now I suggest we get home you did say you wanted to eat my cooking."

"Hell yeah!" Tony stated. Holding his diploma up in a triumphant manner.
