The next morning Ghastly, Valkyrie and Fletcher made their way down a very pretty street toward a little house right at the end of the street. It had a cherry tree in the front garden and a porch that the sun shone on all day. Valkyrie was very surprised, "That's Billy-Ray and Tanith's house?" Ghastly nodded. "Wow. I wasn't expecting that."

They reached the house and rang the door bell. Then they heard footsteps coming, and Tanith was coming to the door. She was wearing slacks and her hair was curlier and brighter than normal. She opened the door,

"Yes?" She looked up and she looked very shocked. "Val? Fletcher? Ghastly? What...What are you doing here? I haven't...seen you guys in...Like...two years."

"Is your boyfriend home Billy-Ray?" Valkyrie asked.

"Um...No he isn't, please come in." She held the door open and stepped to one side. "Skulduggery isn't with you? I thought he would have come to beat up my fiancé if he tried anything." Everyone looked at her,

"Fiancé?"They said in chorus.

"Yes look" she sat next to Valkyrie and showed her the ring. Valkyrie had to admit, it was gorgeous. Ghastly sat there and Valkyrie could see that his heart had just been crushed into one million pieces. But he smiled an empty smile. Tanith looked at Ghastly. She put her hands on her lap. "Um... why don't you two have a quick look around or go to the park or- You know what, leave I need to talk to Ghastly in private."They nodded and left the room.

Fletcher and Valkyrie stood in the hallway, an awkward silence drifted by. Then Fletcher broke it,

"Um...shall we go to the park?"

"Ok." Fletcher grabbed her hand and teleported to the park. It was a nice park. There was a huge field with a big park in the middle. Valkyrie went and sat on the spider web next to Fletcher.

"So, going well with Max, seems that way."He smiled like he wasn't bothered with the fact that she was going out with his friend.

"Yes it going great. Max is really nice; it looks like you two get along great." He put his hands behind his head and looked at the sky.

"Yeah, he's alright I guess. I mean I don't hate him but...y'know I guess he is a mate." Valkyrie smiled. "Does he do must shape shifting for you? I can remember once, it was quite late at night and Skulduggery had been getting on his nerves. So he shape shifted into him and started acting like him. He was prancing round the room saying stuff like "Look! I so smart I can make fire! Oh noes! I set da house on fire oh wells I will blame it on Valkyrie! Tralalalala! Once I finally caught a breath I told him that he should get a job in acting. Then Skulduggery came in before he could change back. Well, you could imagine how that went down." Valkyrie laughed a little, then it built and soon they were both laughing their heads off on the spider web.

Valkyrie rolled on top of Fletcher and they stared into each other's eyes. Fletcher couldn't hold himself back and he kissed her. Valkyrie leaned back a bit to try and break the kiss, but, she ended up kissing him back. Fletcher didn't want this moment to end. Valkyrie stopped and ripped herself away from him and stood up,

"You shouldn't have done that Fletcher. That really shouldn't have just happened."

"What I'm not that bad now am I?"

"No, I'm with Max now scatter brain! You shouldn't have kissed me!"

"So what? It didn't matter to you when you kissed Caelan behind my back!

"But remember how much It hurt you! I don't want to do that to anyone else. You shouldn't have kissed me!"

"Why do you keep saying "you shouldn't have kissed me!"? You kissed me back Valkyrie and you know you could have stopped me but you didn't."

"Fletcher, if you are trying to imply that I still have feelings for you, then I'm sorry but I don't." A single tear ran down the side of her face.

"Valkyrie, if it wasn't obvious enough. I still have feelings for yo-"

"I KNOW THAT! AND ITS DESTROYING ME FLETCHER! Every time I see you my heart crys, and when I see Max it does back flips. The reason that I kiss him so often after seeing you is to make sure that I feel the way I think I do. Fletcher you are making me have second thoughts about every thing I do and you are always in my mind. But I do like Max and I want to be with him!"

" Well maybe I should just leave and never come back so you and Max can be happy together?"

"Fletcher, thats not what I sai-"

"Well what do you want me to do Valyrie, because I cant stop loving you and you know full well that you cant either."

"We need you. The team needs you I dont know what I want you to do but I dont want you to leave."

"Oh so that you can get transportation to where ever you want to go and have quick get aways from places? I don't think that the team wil mind if I go. I don't even think that they will notice, because all I am to all of you is a car! You can love a car but it isn't real love. Maybe that is why our relationship failed. Because you thought of me as a caar and Caelan as your hot vampire boyfriend! So yes I am going to go. Delete me from you contacts because I wont pick up the phone if you call. Good Bye Valkyrie for the last time." Then he vanished.

Anger filled Valkyrie. She was about to scream when Ghastly came around the coner, he looked the way she felt."You two come on we are leaving. Wait were is Fletcher?"Valkyrie ran up to him,

"Don't worry we don't need him. Where's Tanith did you get her back?" Ghastly turned to her,

"No and she's not coming back."
