OK well I finished this yesterday so now I'm putting it up before we find something else to do to satisfy our boredom problem. Endings pretty bad but should be more up tomorrow.

Ughhh 12.20pm and not even tired :( Anyway enjoy! I hope ;)

Valkyrie was sitting in the lounge room of her Uncle's old mansion which she now officially owned as a 19 year old. She'd had it for a year now and had made no changes except for the bedroom she slept in.

In the lounge room sitting in various seats were the rest of the crew, Tanith, Ghastly, Skulduggery and unfortunately for them, Fletcher. Tanith was next to Ghastly, of course, after the remnant was basically sucked out of Tanith, she and Ghastly became a cute couple. Fletcher sat, what seemed impossibly close to Valkyrie on a different lounge to Ghastly and Tanith. Skulduggery sat on the other side of Valkyrie just staring at the TV.

Someone who calls me cute or beautiful, not hot or sexy. Someone who wants to protect me not run away from what's going to hurt me. Someone who says I love you, not you're a babe. Valkyrie thought. As if to hear her thoughts, Fletcher spoke.

"Hey sexy, how about you go out with me?" Fletcher asked Valkyrie. She just rolled her eyes and tried to ignore him. She glanced at Skulduggery who shifted a little in his seat as soon as Fletcher asked her. He kept nudging her until she answered and this too, aggravated Skulduggery.

"No Fletcher, now stop bugging me." Valkyrie replied simply with no emotion to her tone.

"C'mon babe!" He tried.

"Fletcher! Do you not understand the words coming out of my mouth! I don't love you! I LOVE SKULDUGGERY!" She clapped a hand over her mouth and her eyes grew wide. Skulduggery's head snapped up and Fletcher looked annoyed. Ghastly and Tanith just looked up slowly.

Tanith knew this already of course but she was still surprised by the sudden reveal.

"Fine! I don't even care you're ugly anyway." Fletcher replied smirking, happy that he had thought of such a great comeback. Well, great to him anyway.

"I know." Valkyrie whispered tears coming to her eyes. She wasn't crying because she revealed she loved Skulduggery, it was because even though it was Fletcher who called her ugly, it still hurt. She broke down in tears and ran around the corner out of view and slid down the wall.

She had always thought of herself as plain and nothing special. Now she had confirmation from someone else.

"You're and idiot you know that?" Skulduggery said angrily that he'd upset his Valkyrie. He walked around the corner and almost tripped over Valkyrie if he hadn't heard the quiet breathes she let out. He slid down the wall next to her and grabbed her hand resting it on his lap still grasping it with his own hand.

"Valkyrie, do not listen to that idiot okay?" Skulduggery said firmly, "You're beautiful, and yes me too." He assured her.

"You think you're beautiful too?" She sniffed smiling a little.

"What? Oh no I meant 'Yes me too' as in yes I love you too." He put an arm round her and pulled her into a hug and she smiled.

In the next room Tanith was now sitting next to Fletcher punching his arm as hard as she could until he apologised.
