The next day, Valkyrie finds herself sleeping on the sofa, she rubs her eyes and sees skulduggery on the other sofa facing away from her, sleeping... meditation huh? she thought sarcastically. She was too tired to do this, so she went back to sleep, but as she was about to close her eyes, Tanith and Ghastly stormed in with happy faces,"guys, good news, new movies out!" "huh?!" Skulduggery then fell off the sofa, "what?!" Valkyrie screamed. Skulduggery rubbed his head then looked at Tanith, "that's a dumb reason to wake us up!... is it good?" "yep! nightmare before Christmas... 2! Ghastly help me look all night to find it!" "Ghastly! you said you were busy!" skulduggery cried,"i was busy until Tanith phoned and she said this was an emergency, it was a trap basically..." " so Tanith... you were free! Movie night isn't movie night, if it doesn't have at least several people, that wont make it awkward... wait... where am i? am i still here... wait... wheres here... errrr... so tired" Tanith raised an eyebrow, "what did you guys do last night, hmm?" "we watched a movie and skul taught me to dance... prom... oh my god i forgot! Ghastly make me a black dress!" Ghastly rubbed his head, "is it important?" "Yes!prom, prom, prom, prom, proomm!" his eyebrows and hands were up. "OMG! prom! Ghastly you have to make her the dress! i'll help you with your hair, makeup and... jewelrryyyyyy... shopping! " Ghastly snuck behind Skulduggery shaking, watching the girls hold hands jumping up and down like little girls going to their first party, who knew girls were so controlling and... prom crazy, he thought. "OK... i'll make the dress. oh dear, i'm too busy, i cant drive them to the shopping center skulduggery, just don't just stand there, take them there" he said in a sarcastic manner. He ran out the door "your dress will be ready tonight!" he shouted whilst running.
skulduggery looked at the girls, they looked mentally challenging, come on skull he told himself, you've fought faceless ones, bad guys... you even killed a man... OK i killed several... OK more than several but you can do this... wait there's one more thing i can try... "do i have to drive you?" they both nodded. "do i have to go in?" they nodded again, with a bigger grin on their faces. Skulduggery sighed "do i... have to carry bags?" he said scratching his neck (spine), "oh yeah" Valkyrie said deviously. well... that failed he thought, he stuck his disguise on then dragged his feet to the Bentley, "come on" he said grumpily, the girls somehow were changed... really damn fast, brushed hair, teeth cleaned, the lot. grins on their faces rose and their handbags hung from their shoulders. "off the the shopping center then" they got in and were on their way.
