This is where Skulduggery meets Ghastly. Because I always wanted to know how it happened. Don't forget, your reviews (hopefully) make for better chapters. This is set before the War, when Skulduggery was still alive. Set in 1800's. If Skulduggery is over 400 years old, and it is 2012 now… then Skulduggery would have to be born in the 1600's.

Skulduggery Pleasant looked at his wife, Moon Ivory. She had her coal black hair pulled back off her neck in a bun. Skulduggery wrapped an arm around her waist and kissed her cheek. She turned to him and smiled. Her brown eyes sparkled as she looked at him. He felt the bump of her stomach and smiled. Skulduggery kissed her gently on the lips. "It's a girl, Skulduggery," she said in her faint French accent.
"Nonsense. I know it's a boy. And Skulduggery will be a fantastic name for him." He said. He ran a hand over his blond hair.
"Skulduggery, she is a girl."
"Well, if he has the bad luck to be a girl, then we can still call him Skulduggery." Moon laughed and pushed him away.
"Go, you'll be late.'' Skulduggery kissed her again. Moon reached out and fixed his hat, tugging it straight. Skulduggery leant in for another kiss, but Moon pushed him away. He stepped out of the door and walked over to his car (not the Bentley, seeing as Skulduggery is over 400 years old and the Bentley is a 1954 R-type contintal, only one of 208 ever made, etc.).He opened the door and paused before sliding inside. He gave one last look at Moon, who smiled and raised her hand. Skulduggery waved and slidinto his car, and started the engine. He beeped his horn and waved as he drove off.
Skulduggery walked through the Sanctuary doors. An agent nodded to him, but Skulduggery didn't notice. He walked past many doors, and entered the one he was looking for. Three chairs sat in an otherwise empty room. Occupying those three chairs were the Grand Mage and his council. The Grand Mage was a tall, stern, woman whose brown hair was streaked through with grey. Her name was Extol Scribe and her council members were Buffer Prince and Drey Imminent. Prince had fiery, red hair and a temper to match. Imminent was his polar opposite. Calm and steady, with his dark brown, almost black hair and unwavering stare, he balanced the council out. "Detective Pleasant," Scribe said by the way of greeting.
"Grand Mage Scribe, Elders Prince and Imminent. You sent for me." Skulduggery replied.
"We did. We have a new case for you. A group of pirates have been attacking the coast. They need to be stopped. They have resisted several arrests and killed as many agents."
"If they can't do it, then what makes you think I can do it?" Skulduggery asked.
"We have faith, Detective."
Incase you don't know me, I write shortish chapters, but I do try to work on making them longer. But yes, it is another Skulduggery Pleasant fanfic. My third to be exact.
