"We leave next week, on Gordon's private jet." Replied Ghastly, going into the kitchen for tea.
"Your only telling me this now, why?" Valkyrie said, leaning back on her chair, raising an eyebrow.
The others looked sheepishly around until Anton rolled his eyes and said "They wanted it to be a surprise. I was okay with this until I remembered that you would need to pack. Needless to say I was the only one to think about this." She nodded and chatted with them for what Valkyrie thought was about an hour and a half, but turned out to be three hours. When she realised this, she stood up and said "Right, the lot of you, out. I need to go shopping for stuff."

As they said goodbye, Valkyrie noticed Skulduggery trying to sneak out the door, unsuccessfully. "Oi, Skulduggery, you're coming with me." Valkyrie said, and as soon as the words left her mouth, Skulduggery went to bolt for the door, but Valkyrie shot her energy across the front of him stopping him temporarily, and while he was stopped Erskine put an air bubble round him and brought him back to the living room. "Good luck, Valkyrie" he said then left with the rest.

"Awwwwwwwwwww, why do I have to shopping with you. Why not take Ghastly or Anton with you? I'm sure they'd be glad to help." Skulduggery moaned once the door was closed.
"'Cause they aren't as fun to annoy as you are. Now get in the Bentley." Valkyrie ordered getting her house keys, phone and purse.

About three hours later, Valkyrie had bought varying shorts, t-shirts, dresses, shoes, books, underwear, sunglasses, bikinis and hats. She also got her ears pierced because she spotted a pair of earings she liked. They were in the car home when Skulduggery looked at Valkyrie quizzically saying "Do you really need all that stuff? We are only going for a month." Valkyrie just looked at him, shook her head in disappointment and looked out the window and was silent the rest of the way back to Gordon's.

About ten o'clockish that night, Valkyrie was still up eating crisps and watching T.V when her phone rang - Ghastly.
"Hey, Ghastly. What's up?"
"Hey, Val. Do you think Tanith would want to come along too? I know she's in England right now but she'll be back in two days"
"Yeah. It's Tanith did you really think she'd pass up and opportunity to go touring a whole load of hot countries"
"K. Thanks Val. See you later" Ghastly said before he hung up.
'Well looks like my sisters coming along too.' Valkyrie thought before heading up to bed.
