She woke up the next morning to see that Skulduggery was still passed out on her bed, she quickly got dressed and walked down to see a note from her mum

'LEFT EARLY HUN, SEE YOU TONIGHT.

MAKE SURE YOU EAT

XX

MUM

P.S DAD SAID BYE X'

She sighed with relief and walked upstairs with a bowl of cereal for Skulduggery. "Morning" he sounded sleepy as she handed him the bowl, he smiled and tucked into the bowl without hesitation. "I was thinking, we could spend the day here until my parents get back then let my reflection out, then we could go back to yours…maybe" she suggested. His smile grew wider "I would love that!"

He slid out of bed "how about if I invite Ghastly, Tanith and Fletcher…" He asked and she nodded and slipped into a black casual dress that Ghastly had made her, within moments Ghastly, Tanith and Fletcher were standing on the landing. "Vallllllll, Skuuullll" Tanith boomed from the other side of the door.

Valkyrie opened the door and Tanith leaped on her and enveloped in a massive bear hug while giggling like crazy. "So guys, what you wanna do?" asked Valkyrie while trying to tickle Tanith. "Truth or dare!" Fletcher shouted and ran downstairs, Tanith followed carrying Valkyrie and Ghastly then Skulduggery soon followed and sat in the circle the two girls and fletcher had made.

"Fletch, truth or dare" Val said

"Dare me!"

"Okay then, I dare you to…" she put her hand on her chin and thought from a moment "To….swallow a spoon full of dry coffee with mustard on them" His face fell from a smirk into a 'wut' face, Skulduggery stood up and fetched a bucket, Mustard, coffee and a spoon. Val poured the coffee and mustard then handed it to fletcher. "Go on then" they all cheered.

He shoved the spoon in his mouth and then threw up in the bucket that was placed on his lap. The whole gang burst out in laughter and Skulduggery had to catch Val before she hit her head on the coffee table.

"Tanith, truth or dare" Fletcher asked.

"Eh, give me a truth" she responded.

"Is it true that you can kill anybody?"

"What, no! I can't kill Ghastly I might cry and kill myself" she leant over to Ghastly and gave him a peak on the cheek and sat back down.

"Skull, Truth or Dare" Tanith asked

"Come on then. Give me a good dare" He smirked.

Ghastly and Tanith leant in to whisper to each other. "I'll say that then."

"WE…" she pointed at Ghastly and herself. "…dare you go have your way with Val right now, in the closet" Valkyrie looked down at her hands and felt Skulduggery pick her up and carry her to the closet, his lips were pressed to hers and their hands where exploring each other's bodies like it was a undiscovered planet.

Val and Skulduggery sat down 30 minutes later in the circle and looked at them.

"Ghastly, truth or dare?" Skulduggery asked while playing the Vals hair.

"Dare"

"I dare you to end every sentence with 'in bed'"

"Hey, guys lets go watch a movie" Tanith said, "in bed" Ghastly added onto the end of what she just said. They spent around 30 minutes arguing about what to watch and with Ghastly still saying 'in bed' at the end of everything.

"wow, this movie is good" Val said "you're amazing skul" ghastly added "in bed" she giggled lightly to herself and murmured in agreement, then everyone burst out laughing. His arms were wrapped around Vals waist keeping her close as everybody carried on watching the film. His lips kept brushing the edge of her ear making her shiver.
