It's party time!
*Hides under table.* don't murder me! I promise, I've been thinking really hard about this, though it will still suck... *deep breaths* here we go
Valkyrie came out from behind the stage, looking like she had never seen a murder, not to mention having killed a person. In other words, there was a twinkle in her eye and a grin across her face. This spread when she saw Fletcher and Otis laughing, Tanith, Raven, Maria and Sophia with smug looks and...
The dead men buried in sand up to their necks.
"Why?!"
"They wouldn't tell us what was so bad about the water, so we did this. Dexter and Saracen had a few drinks, so they were easy." Tanith explained.
"HELP US!" They all cried.
"TELL US WHAT HAPPENED!" Raven shouted.
"NEVER!" Came Saracen's reply.
"FOR NARNIA!" Dexter shouted.
"FOR ASLAN!" Saracen shouted back.
"A few drinks?" Valkyrie asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Look behind you." Skulduggery said.
"Well that doesn't sound like a horror movie line." Valkyrie said, "Look behind you..." she said in a creepy ghost-like voice. She looked behind her; too see her friends picking up about 40 beer cans and 1 bottle of vodka. Her eyes widened, and suddenly, her hand was out, where her mortal friends couldn't see it, and Dexter and Saracen's holes started to fill with water.
"THE ICE-QUEEN HAS US!" Dexter shouted.
"HELP!" Saracen shouted.
After 20 minutes, they had all the dead men out their lovely holes, the 2 drunks locked up at the Sanctuary until they sobered up, and people arriving at the beach.
"I have to go help sort things out. Sorry," Valkyrie said, kissing Fletcher on the cheek, then running to welcome people, and help get the cars in front of the giant screen they were going to watch the movie on.
Fletcher watched her as she took her phone out to answer a call. Her face fell as she talked, looking desperate, then annoyed, then upset. He called the others over, including a now sober Dexter and Saracen. They watched as Valkyrie went around, a lot less peppy than she had been before. Her other friends noticed and came to see what was wrong. She explained, and they started to panic, then sympathise.
"That's it! I need to know what's wrong!" Dexter said. "Hey, Steph!" He called.
Valkyrie jogged over, attempting a smile, which crashed.
"What's up?" Fletcher asked, putting his hand on Valkyrie's arm.
"The guitarist has gotten sick and can't come to the bash. I can't sing this acapella!" She sighed in frustration.
They all went silent, then realised- Fletcher wasn't there.
2 minutes later, he appeared, holding a beautiful, amazing guitar.
"What's the song?" He asked.
"Seamless, I wrote it." Valkyrie said. (A/N She didn't really, so this is basically copyright, but oh well. *REBEL, reb, reb, reb, reb!*)
"Let's see it." He said.
Valkyrie got her jacket, and took a little book from it.
"Here," She said, handing it to Fletcher. He read it quickly, while Maria exclaimed,
"HE CAN READ!"
After finishing it, he said,
"That... Is... Amazing! Who is it about?"
"Can you not guess?" Valkyrie said, looking at him in disbelief. Fletcher shook his head.
"It's about me and Skul."
"Skulduggery," Skulduggery said, annoyed by his nick-name.
"See, 'partners in crime.' 'I know all your secrets'. And pretty much all the lyrics." Valkyrie said, pointing out certain bits.
"Alright, come back stage with me. Teach me how to play it. I'll perform with you." Fletcher said. Valkyrie's face lit up.
"Really?!"
"Yes,"
Valkyrie pulled Fletcher back stage, and they got to work.
Not good, I know. But it's getting a little late and I'm revising for my Spanish tests at the same time. (You wouldn't believe how many times I've had to go back on things because I've written them in Español.) Thanks to Blufox03 for giving me the guitarist idea! Fletcher will be performing later, so what should he sing, and should he get signed to Scarlet's label?
