Chapter 1 - Weather Is The Opposite.

The day was early, it had such a warmth in the air that made people just want to smile and take in the weather. For once, the weather had been good. But all was not well on this day. A one Valkyrie Cain was not in a good mood.

"I am not the mood for this Skulduggery!" Valkyrie roared into her cellphone.

"Obviously not..." Skulduggery answered back.

"Why do I have to go to school? I already know what I'm going to do when I get older. Can't I send the reflection?" Valkyrie complained.

"It's good to have a balance my dear Valkyrie. Remember? We had a deal. You go to school when we don't have detective work, and on the days we do have detective work, you're more than welcome to follow along and send the reflection in your place." Skulduggery said with a bit of charm.

Valkyrie could not help but smirk at how annoyingly amusing this conversation was becomming.
Valkyrie sighed. She knew he was right, but would never admit that to him. It would just add to his ego.

"Fine! I'll go. But I won't enjoy it."

"That's a good girl. Besides, what can be more fun than learning new stuff with your friends?"

"Fighting bad guys and saving the world with an awesome detective like you?" Valkyrie's attempt at last minute greasing was not gone unnoticed.

"Well I am awesome aren't I?" Skulduggery replied with a smile.

"You can't get over yourself for one minute can you?" Valkyrie stated without hesitation.

"Nope! You better be on your way, wouldn't wanna be late now would you?" Skulduggery told her.

"Whatever. I'll see you at 4 at the pier ok?" Valkyrie said.

"4 it is then. Have fun Valkyrie." Skulduggey tried to make her feel better. Actually, he said this for pure enjoyment of the fact that he knew Valkyrie hated comments like that.

"You know I won't." Valkyrie said back to him.

"I know. I just love to taunt you." Skulduggery replied with humor in his voice.

"Good-bye Skulduggery." Valkyrie replied angrily.

And with that, Valkyrie hung up her phone and got ready for a dismle day at school.
