A/N: Just a cute little one shot I thought up! Hope you like it!

The little girl looked out onto the deserted Dublin street from the old tenement building. It was night and the rain was pouring down the window distorting the world outside.

The girl turned around to see the most beautiful woman she had ever seen and a skeleton in a suit arguing. The woman turned away from the skeleton to face the girl.

"Hello there little one. Would you like something?" She said in a sweet voice.

"No thank you," Said the girl, she did not like this woman. "Why were you arguing with Mr. Skeleton?" She asked.

"It's not important child." The girl did not like being called child. She was a big girl of three now, she could walk, talk and write her name.

"I'm not a child!" She protested but her words fell on deaf ears. The woman had turned back.

"Skulduggery, the child simply cannot stay with me!" She cried.

"Why not?" Said the skeleton "Stephanie's no problem are you steph?" He asked turning to the girl.

"Nope no problem at all!" She said quickly, hiding a glass statue behind her back.

"Well if she's no problem then you can take her with you can't you Skulduggery," The woman said while ushering them out the door. "Bye Bye now!" She called taking the sculpture of Stephanie.

"Well that didn't go as well as expected." The skeleton sighed while taking off his hat to brush it. Stephanie grabbed the hat and put it in her mouth running away.

"Hey, come back with that!" The skeleton shouted running after her.
