A/N I am sorry I haven't updated in forever, I have just been busy and I ran out of ideas. Plus I have been busy with school (trying to act cool around a boy :O ) and shite.

Chapter 24

The engagement – General POV

"Do you think she will like it?" Skulduggery asked, showing Ghastly the box.

"Um... it's a nice shade of red... but why would she need a box this small?"

"Open the box Bespokes." Skulduggery said, shaking his head.

Ghastly opened the box and smiled.

"She will love it."

Skulduggery nodded and got into the Bentley.

"Today is going to be a big day." He said to himself.

Once he got to Valkyrie's he started to panic. What if she doesn't like the ring? What if she says no?

He got to Gordon's and knocked on the door.

"Ready for our date?" Skulduggery asked as Valkyrie opened the door. She was wearing a little black dress with her hair tied up in a messy bun. She wore black high heels. She had red lipstick on and a bit of eye-liner.

"I'm ready." Valkyrie said, a giving Skulduggery a little smile.

"You look beautiful."

"I know."

They both got into the Bentley and he drove them to a fancy restaurant.

"Won't it be a bit suspicious if you don't eat?"

"It's a Mage restaurant, don't worry."

"What's the special occasion?" Valkyrie asked, turning her head to look at Skulduggery.

"Nothing, just thought you deserved a nice night out."

"Darn right I do."

"Darn right?"

"Mhm."

"You amuse me."

"Why thank you."

They arrived at the restaurant and everyone started clapping. Skulduggery waved his arms around and they stopped. When Valkyrie turned around, he shrugged his shoulders. Once she looked ahead again he shook his head slowly at everyone.

Valkyrie ordered Lamb and some red wine (I dunno, okay, I have never been in a fancy restaurant so, yeah).

Once she finished eating everyone stared at her.

"Um...Hi?" she said, waving at everybody.

Skulduggery shook his head again.

"Why are they all staring at me?" Valkyrie asked, getting worried. Skulduggery didn't say anything, he stood up, walked besides Valkyrie's chair and knelt down onto one knee.

"Oh my god, what is happening?" Valkyrie asked, looking at Skulduggery.

"Valkyrie Cain, you have been my partner and my best friend for 8 years and I don't know what I would do without you, will you marry me?"

Valkyrie's eyes started to water and she nodded up and down, putting her hands over her mouth.

"Yes."

Everyone cheered and clapped, confetti went off as Skulduggery out the ring on her finger and kissed her. Tanith, Ghastly, Violet and Fletcher jumped out from the table behind them, popping a champagne bottle.

A/N I'm sorry it's short but I am running out of ideas.
