Thanks all for your reviews, (Mademise - I had to put him in after reading My Immortal xD) and I'd like to add I don't hate Fletcher, I actually love his character, it's just so much fun to make fun of him :)

I got one of the lines about Chris Colfer off another fanfic, I don't know which one though :L

Since this is Valentines Day, I thought I'd write a date chapter ;)

Also, I am way underusing Amara, so I have to put you in!

''VALKYRIEEE!'' Valkyrie got off the couch and laughed at how her best friend's voice echoed down the street. She opened the front door and saw Tanith standing on the step beaming with a giant pile of cards. ''Happy Valentines!'' ''Hey Tan, how're you?'' She hugged her and they went inside. ''I'm good, I can't wait for the date tonight!'' She threw herself down on the couch Valkyrie had vacated. Valkyrie sat beside her. ''Me neither. Do you know who all's coming?'' Tanith shrugged. ''Well, I know about you, me, Ghastly, Skul, Fletcher, Leo, Amara, Tariana, Ravel and Reia but that's it.'' ''It was great of the guys to book tables at Butter for us,'' Tanith sighed. ''Yeah. What did you get Ghastly?'' ''A pair of the loafers he wanted and some shoe polish.'' ''What loafers were they again?'' The blonde girl cocked her head to the side. ''I'm not too sure, but they were described as the 1989 Gucci loafers Italian-type Europeans, one of 93 pairs ever made, it has a four-lace, three-material fabric and they're retrofitted with modern applications like water-repelling soles, rocket boosters and GPS system.'' ''That sound like something he told me about his obsession.'' ''Skulduggery told you that about his car?'' Valkyrie shook her head. ''Nah, it sounded like what Fletcher always says about his hair.'' ''Mmmm.''

They spent a few hours reading the numerous Valentines cards sent to them then chucking them in the bin. ''How many did you get this year?'' Tanith yawned. ''A hundred and twelve. Staven Weeper sent me six though, so that doesn't count.'' Val checked the clock. ''C'mon, we're meeting the girls in half an hour.'' They left the house and arrived at the mall they were meeting Tariana, Amara and Reia at. Valkyrie and Tanith slowed down as they saw the three girls with their backs to them, dancing to Baby It's Cold Outside beside Subway. ''Every time we go to the mall...'' Valkyrie said sadly, shaking her head. Tanith went up to the girls and put off the music. ''Chris? NOOOO HOW DARE- Oh. Hi, Tanith!'' Tanith smiled and they all walked into the nearest shop for Valentines presents. ''So who are you going with on the date?'' Valkyrie asked Tariana as they looked over cards. Tariana raised an eyebrow at her and Valkyrie sighed. ''Ah yes, Ravel of course,'' she muttered as they made their way through the shop.

Meanwhile, Amara, Tanith and Reia were looking at novelty t-shirts. Tanith looked down at the shirt they had forced into her hands. ''Guys, I'm not too sure about this...'' Reia and Amara looked at the hot pink shirt with the word 'supermegafoxyawesomehot' splashed across it. ''Nonsense. Ghastly'll love it.'' Tanith mumbled her protests but they marched her up to the till and made her buy it. As Valkyrie paid for her present for Skulduggery Amara turned round and gasped. ''I have a red alert, red alert situation, two threats at a three o' clock bearing heading this way!'' Tariana, Reia and Tanith looked at her. She sighed. ''Dusk and Caelan headed this way!'' Everyone 'aaaahed' and jumped behind an aisle. They peeked up as they saw Dusk wrap an arm around Caelan's waist. Valkyrie - who still hadn't seen the two - turned round, saw them walked down the aisle and passed out. ''Not again!'' hissed Tanith as they dragged her to some nearby seats. ''This is the second time she's done this!'' (A/N - If you want to know the first time she passed out at a mall because of a crack-ish pairing, look up chapter 6 of Tariana Grace's drabble series. It's hilarious xD)

After nursing Valkyrie back to consciousness after her shock they snuck behind Caelan and Dusk. They were looking at different types of flowers. ''Hunneh, they just won't go with ma eyes!'' they heard Caelan exclaim. ''This is scarring,'' whispered Tariana. ''Not as scarring as when Skulduggery asked what the song Jizz In My Pants was about.'' They all winced at the memory. Reia shook her head. ''Nah, the most scarring thing was when we went to see that Harry Potter show where Harry and Voldemort team up on Broadway.'' ''Dark Lord of the Dance?'' ''Yeah, that's the one.'' Valkyrie rolled her eyes. ''Can we get back to the stalking now?'' ''Sure.''

Caelan went over to the chocolate aisle and picked up a chocolate heart He smiled fondly. Dusk really liked chocolate hearts. The five females observed him. ''This is some crazy assed shit,'' whispered Amara. The vampire turned around and saw the five of them staring at him. He blushed and kicked the ground with his left foot. ''Guys, there's something I have to tell you...'' Unfortunately, Reia and Tariana's Caelan-hating obsession/compulsion kicked in and they both conjured up pitchforks and torches from somewhere and leapt on him, screaming things like ''I will destroy you, broody goth! You put Enoby to shame!'' ''I'm gonna wash away your gay!''

Reia turned to Tariana. ''Hey, nothing wrong with some gay love, what about Chris?'' They both went starry eyed for a minute, clutching their hands over their hearts then snapped out of it. ''Yeah, but I don't think Chris is gay...'' Reia gasped in understanding. ''You think so too? He is soooo not gay. He's a bisexual in denial. When I marry him you'll see.'' Tariana looked worried and grabbed her friend's arm. ''You're marrying him? Hell no, I thought we were both marrying him with Erskine!'' Reia nodded wisely. ''Of course. And with Matt Bellamy and Darren Criss obvs.'' Amara sat down beside them. ''I'm so marrying all you too if Darren's involved!'' she yelled. Tariana began to say something then noticed Caelan slowly dragging himself down the aisle. ''HE'S GETTING AWAY!'' she roared. They sprinted towards him and began hitting him over the head. Tanith and Valkyrie looked at each other then joined in. After several minutes of Caelan-bashing they sat down exhausted and Reia started making a list. None of them saw Caelan inching away.

Reia finished the list. ''Ok, the three of us are getting married to Erskine, Chris, Darren, Matt, Cory, Mark and Emmet in the summer, happy?'' Tanith got to her feet. ''What? I thought I made it clear that Emmet's MINE!'' Meanwhile, Caelan had recovered somewhat and launched himself into his boyfriend's arms, tears running down his face. ''Whose ass am I kicking babe?'' growled Dusk. Caelan bit his lip.

Tanith, Amara, Tariana and Reia were still arguing when Dusk rounded the corner. He stalked towards them, hands upraised. ''You tried to hurt my boyfriend? My boyfriend? He's the only person I have left!'' Valkyrie turned to Tanith, shocked. ''Aren't these almost the exact same words Bliss said about China when he was beating up that member of the Diablerie?'' Tanith's jaw dropped. ''Oh my God. BLISS FANCIED CHINA!'' Tariana, Reia and Amara heard the end of this. ''What the he-'' Tariana began, but had to duck a punch swung by Dusk. ''How could you?'' he yelled, and he forced them out of the shop into the main mall area. Caelan joined them and everything exploded into action. Amara and Tanith was repeatedly kicking Dusk who had pinned Valkyrie to the floor and Tariana and Reia were on Caelan's back hitting him over the head. Skulduggery and Ghastly walked past, took one glance at the scene, shrugged, and continued on.

The fight ended with Dusk stuck inside a hot dog cart and Caelan in the front window of Victoria's Secret wearing only a leopard print thong and feather boa. The five girls left the shopping mall cackling madly. ''Oh my gosh, these are SO GOING ON FACEBOOK!'' laughed Valkyrie, waving her phone with the pictures of Caelan and Dusk on it around her head. They went back to Tanith's apartment and started getting changed into the clothes they had bought with Dusk's stolen credit card. Just as the clock turned eight pm, they all looked into Tanith's loor-length mirror. The swordswoman had her usual leather jacket on, over an emerald shift dress. Tariana was in her amazing purple dress that was cut mid-leg with a ruled hem. Reia wore her usual red, with a short dress and black blazer and Amara stood beside her in a miniskirt and gorgeous crop top. Valkyrie who was wearing a deep black v-neck dress put her bag onto her shoulder. ''C'mon, we should go meet the guys.''

The five males - Skul, Ghastly, Fletcher, Leo and Ravel - were waiting for them as they entered the resteraunt. Tanith, Val and Tariana immediately moved off to meet their boyfriends, leaving an uncomfortable Leo with the obsessed Amara and Reia, and the very jealous Fletcher. They all got their seats and started talking. Very quickly, the gang began to get drunk. Reia was draped across Leo with her head on her friend's shoulder singing ''I love my Amara Calla, oh yes I do...'' Fletcher was just as drunk and was wearing Caelan's feather boa, talking to Thrasher and Scapegrace who were also on their date. Ghastly left his seat and he saw Caelan and Dusk at their own candlelit table. He stared at them as Dusk put his hand on the younger man's and leant in to kiss him. Ghastly yelled ''Duuuuuude WTFFFF?'' and ran out of the resteraunt. Tanith and the other non-drunk ones stared after him. ''We better go,'' she sighed. Fletcher whooped as they left Butter. ''Now let's go get shitfaced!''

At the nightclub everyone was on the floor. Amara and Reia were boogeying down with Leo who they had gotten extremely drunk for that reason, Ghastly was spinning a giggling Tanith around, Tariana was slow dancing with Ravel and Skulduggery and Valkyrie were sitting on a bench talking in low voices. Suddenly, Valkyrie got up and stormed away. Skulduggery groaned and leant back, hands runing through his hair. Tanith saw Valkyrie go into the bathroom and she whispered a few words to Ghastly before running after her. She pushed open the bathroom door and found Valkyrie sitting on the floor, legs drawn up to her chest. She sat beside her.

''You ok?'' Valkyrie shook her head. Tanith pulled her best friend's head onto her shoulder and stroked her hair. ''What happened?'' Valkyrie sighed into her shoulder. ''Skulduggery and I were talking, and I gave him his Valentines present and he said he didn't think we were doing the whole Valentines thing, and the whole thing was overrated, even though we were talking about it last week, and he just laughed, right in my face. He laughed at me.'' Tanith was silent for a few minutes. Fletcher suddenly walked in and staggered around. ''Heyy guyyysh, I di'n' know you were duuudes,'' Tanith and Valkyrie started laughing, holding onto each other for support. ''Fletcher the shemale,'' Tanith mused. ''I have to admit, I did see it coming.''

She pushed Fletcher out of the bathroom and turned back to Valkyrie who had a sad expression on her face again. ''Forget him.'' The brunette looked at her. ''Seriously, Val, forget him. Skul loves you, we all that, but he can be a total twat sometimes.'' Valkyrie laughed and Tanith pulled her up. ''Now come on. Let's party.'' Arms wrapped round each other's waists they arrived back on the dancefloor. Tariana, Reia and Amara were smashed out of their faces and were in a giant huddle on the floor while Erskine and Leo looked down at them in amusement. Valkyrie and Tanith went onto the floor and started dancing to a Fall Out Boy track. After a few more songs the music quietened down and the DJ stepped out of his booth. Everyone in the club looked to the stage as Skulduggery stepped to the front of it, holding a microphone. ''Hey everyone,'' he began.

The whole club stared at him. He chuckled nervously and adjusted his collar. ''Tough crowd, huh?'' Someone booed. Valkyrie thought it was Fletcher. Skulduggery sighed. ''Look, I know I'm interrupting all of you, but I have something to say, and I'll try to make it short. See that girl over there?'' he pointed to Valkyrie who was still standing with Tanith in the middle of the crowd. ''That girl, she's my girlfriend. And she's amazing. She's beautiful, and funny, and smart, and talented. She's one of the best things that's ever happened to me.'' ''The Bentley's the first,'' someone else called out. ''And she doesn't know how messed-up I am. Today, I made her seriously pissed off with me, and it's because I didn't do Valentines. The reason for that's because I don't want to scare her off. I want her to be with me for as long as possible, before she finds out how mad I am about her, before she finds out how much better she can do than me.''

He stared with a smile into her eyes. Valkyrie began to smile happily, but saw Tanith shaking her head sternly, so she adopted a look of fierceness. On the stage Skulduggery looked around the room. ''So I have to show her how much I appreciate her.'' He got off the stage and made his way through the crowd to where she was. ''I love you, Valkyrie,'' he announced. ''I've loved you for a long time, and I don't know if I'm ever gonna stop loving you.'' He stopped and looked over Valkyrie's shoulder to where Ghastly and Leo were making the 'gay' hand gestures and prancing about fluttering their eyelashes. They are so dead,he thought. ''Valkyrie, I just want you to know that. And,'' he reached into his pocket to take out a small beautifully wrapped present, ''happy Valentines day.'' He handed it to her as the club erupted with applause. Skulduggery picked her up in his arms and kissed her for so long she had to smack his face to stop. He grinned ruefully and set her down. ''Want to dance?'' Valkyrie nodded and as he lead her into the crowd as the music started again, she saw Tanith smile at her as she and Ghastly moved off.

''I saw what you did for Val,'' whispered Ghastly into her ear. Tanith looked at him. ''What?'' He smiled as they began to sway to the music. ''You went after her. That's why I love you. Underneath all the awesomeness and mad battle skills and sexy hotness, you've got a huge heart. That's why so many people love you, Tan. You're like the sun. Every time you smile, you light us all up, and you're the best friend, and sister, and girlfriend, anyone could want.'' Tanith laughed and shoved him. ''I guess this is a night for soppy romantics, then?'' Ghastly gave her a crooked smile. ''I guess so.'' He slid his hand into his front pocket and brought out a small, gorgeous ring. It was silver and had tiny emeralds encrusted into the surface. Tanith gasped. ''Ghastly...what-'' he placed a finger against her lips. ''It's not an engagement ring. I just saw it when I was searching for a Valentines present, and I thought it would look great on you.'' He took her right hand and placed it carefully on a finger. ''It's a promise ring. And I promise you, I'm gonna be here forever.'' Tanith kissed him softly, as the word forever that was carved into the inside of the ring seemed to burn with a higher temperature.

Tariana, Amara and Reia were hanging out at the front of the club when the door opened. They kept on talking between themselves, but then heard a few snatches of a duet. The trio looked up, and saw two boys, one brown haired and one black, pass them. They all screamed.

At the end of the night, Skulduggery, Val, Ghastly, Tanith and Fletcher got into the Bentley. The three girls had disappeared several hours ago to go off with two certain TV show stars. Fletcher sulked as the two couples cosied up to one another. He sat in silence or several minutes, but when Tanith and Ghastly started making out he seemed to find it too much.''EEEEEEEEEE!'' he shrieked. ''Shut it, Queen Fletcher,'' Ghastly sighed. ''Stooooop it!'' Fletcher screamed again. He jumped out the car and bounced several times before rolling to a stop and getting up, only to be hit by Scapegrace and Thrasher's vehicle. ''That's the last we'll see of him tonight,'' Tanith grinned beore leaning in or a passionate kiss with Ghastly. Skulduggery caught Valkyrie's eye. ''Motel?'' She nodded with a flirty smile. ''Motel.''

And sexy times ensue ;)
