The Perfect Prank?

Something I wrote while reading Mortal Coil. It's set a little bit after Dark Days I guess, but since nothing about the actual series will be important it doesn't matter.

It was just a bit of fun.

No harm intended, seriously.

Fletcher simply felt it was necessary to tell Valkyrie they were going to have a nice stroll on the Great Wall and leave her on a rock in the middle of the Atlantic.


"Alright, I think I could use a break." She said happily, taking Flecther's hand.

"Yeah, yeah you do." Fletcher agreed, smirking. "I'm sure that you've been working hard on...What you guys do."

Valkyrie laughed and lightly punched his shoulder. Fletcher gave a bark of laughter, and then all they saw was startling blue, and pleasant crashing waves.

"Whoa...How beautiful!" Valkyrie breathed, and then noticed the small rock no larger then a small trampoline she was standing on. "Hang on."

Looking around, Valkyrie saw she was alone.

"Flecther?" She asked aloud, looking around.

It was just water everywhere.

"FLETCHER?"


Valkyrie didn't seem to mind that. What she did mind was that he forgot and didn't fetch her for about two hours when he received her text late due to the vast distance between them.


*Beep beep beep*

Fletcher looked at his phone, happily munching on his packet of crisps. The screen read New Text.

"Oooh, popularity." Fletcher chuckled, selecting the new message from Valkyrie.

You better get here quickly, idiot

It wasn't really that formal, but Fletcher's brain registered it as full words. Smirking, it all came back and Fletcher stood, rolling his shoulders.


Valkyrie wasn't pleased when he arrived, barely able to fit on the small rock, beaming like it was Christmas.


"You asshole!" Valkyrie angrily punched his arm, chest and any other body part she could reach before Fletcher flopped into the water.

"Ah, damnit!" Fletcher swore. "There goes my phone..."

Looking up at Valkyrie, Fletcher gave her his best apologizing face and said lamely, "Time zones...what're you gonna do?"

Valkyrie looked at him, his spiky untamed hair wet and falling over his face, and giggled. Fletcher smirked and grabbed the edge of her left boot, and then leaned back against the wall of the building they were stood next to, water dripping from his whole form.

"You look like a puppy dropped in a pool." Valkyrie commented.

Fletcher smiled.

"A cute puppy?" He asked. "One you'd get under a Christmas tree with a bow 'n stuff?"

Valkyrie sighed.

"Seriously, go get dry." She ordered.

Fletcher nodded, turned away and said quickly, "I'm such a cute puppy."

Don't yell at me...I'll cry D:
