DISCLAIMER: NONE OF THE SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT CHARACTERS BELONG TO ME BUT TO DEREK LANDY THE AUTHOR, THE PLOT IS MINE! OH AND LENKA CRAZE...SHE'S MINE TOO!

General POV

"Wanna go say hello to the guys?" Asked Lenka, sensing the boredom radiating off of Valkyrie.

She nodded, "Sure, but am I aloud to tell them that I know them in the future?" Lenka shrugged, "If you want to, but you haven't even had a proper conversation with them yet, I would give it time." Valkyrie nodded then smiled.

"By the way, if you want to, you can call me Val. It's what my close friends call me."

Lenka's face split into a grin, "Yes! Of course i'll call you Val! Oh my god this is so cool, VALKYRIE CAIN wants ME to call her Val!" She sounded like a really over excited school girl - which is actually what she was Valkyrie thought, the other mage wrapped her in a bone crushing hug that eventually Valkyrie hesitantly returned.

Lenka grinned, "I also share dorms will the boys, it's all of them and me since our apartment is huge, Mr Grouse said that you would be sharing with us to! Won't that be fun!"

Valkyrie gave nervous smile and gave a shaky breath, the orange haired mage picked up on it, however quiet it was, "Val, you don't have to be nervous, you know them in the future and you're comfortable talking to them. Well, it's exactly the same here, they're just younger, I mean, they haven't even formed the Dead men yet!" Valkyrie raised an eyebrow and both girls walked over to the group of boys with a now confident air about them.

The boys looked up when they walked over, "Hi," Valkyrie said with a polite smile, showing off her perfect white teeth, "My name's Valkyrie Cain, but you can call me Val." She said kindly and Skulduggery stuck out a hand that she shook slowly.

"Pleasure to meet you Valkyrie." He said with a cute smile that made Valkyrie's stomach flutter.

"Pleasure's all mine Skulduggery." She replied with a small blush.

"Nice to meet you Val." Said Dexter with a wink.

"Same here." Greeted Saracen.

Over the next five minutes, the dead men had all greeted Valkyrie with warm handshakes and smiles, the brunette and orange haired mage sat with the boys and discussed some things, trying to learn more about her.

"Sooooooo, what dorm are you staying at?" Skulduggery asked, his emerald green eyes trained on her, she smiled slightly.

"Lenka has told me that I am staying with you guys." She said with a grin and Skulduggery's face lit up with the most gleeful smile.

"What magic do you have?" Asked Dexter curiously.

"Well, i'm sure Lenka has told you already, that i'm a Necromancer and Elemental."

"He probably wasn't listening as always." Said Skulduggery with a grin, Dexter glared at him.

"Anyway, it's Saturday today, so what should we do?" Asked Erskine.

"Market?" Offered Anton.

Ghastly nodded, "Yeah we might as well go into town and kill some time."

"Oooo yeah, I want to show Val around." Lenka said excitedly.

"Market huh, what type of things can you buy there?" A curious Valkyrie asked.

"There are loads of different stalls each selling something different, so you're bound to find something you like." Answered Saracen.

"Do you still use euros?" Questioned Valkyrie, she was a millionaire after all and had put loads of cash in her suitcase, since they were going to France where they also had that currency.

Skulduggery nodded, making his hair flop around, Valkyrie fought back a giggle as she thought of Fletcher Renn's ridiculous hair on Skulduggery. Her bottom lip trembled with laughter and she bit it to stop herself from breaking into a fit of giggles, her orange haired friend noticed.

"Are you okay?" She asked with a concerned voice, suddenly the flood gates opened and Valkyrie broke into a hysterical laughing fit, she fell off her chair and continued to laugh. The dead men raised their eyebrows at the girl whilst Valkyrie whispered something into Lenka's ear.

"Fletcher Renn's hair on Skul." She whispered so only her friend could hear. She pulled back and landed on the floor yet again laughing, Lenka giggled a bit and then broke down into a crazy laughter just like Valkyrie. The two girls rolled around on the floor with tears of laughter, Valkyrie's top rolled up and the boys could see her six pack in clear view.

Dexter whispered to the rest of the boys, "Best body ever." Skulduggery had to agree and he found himself blushing thinking about it.

Valkyrie gasped for breath and Skulduggery, ever the gentleman, held both of his hands out to help her up, she grasped hold of them and fireworks went off in his head as he pulled her up, never taking his eyes off of her chocolate brown ones, that he could oh so easily get lost in.

"Thanks Skul." She said joyously and kissed him on the cheek with her soft plump lips.

Skulduggery's 2017 POV

I paced up and down the airport corridor, a million things running through my mind. Would Valkyrie ever get back? Alive? Dead? Is Lenka Crazes a psychopath? Where are they both?

Suddenly a strong hand placed itself on my shoulder and I turned on my heel to see Ghastly, my worried face was probably evident as a sad smile quickly made its way onto his face.

"Look Skul, I know you're worried, we all are, Tanith's about to start crying, Saracen's beating himself up because his power isn't telling him if Val's okay, Dexter's on the phone to every sanctuary in the world for information, I'm barely holding up since I don't want her to get hurt as much as you, and you, you my friend are breaking down." I sighed shakily and kept my gaze down on the floor.

"Of course i'm breaking down." I sighed and closed my eyes, "Ghastly I - I- love her." I slowly opened my eyes expecting a punch and a lecture from Ghastly saying how wrong it is and how stupid I am, but surprisingly I got a comforting arm around my shoulders.

"Well it's about time." A new voice spoke, I snapped my head up as I saw Dexter, Saracen, Erskine and Tanith in the doorway to the corridor, "We all knew you loved her, it was obvious you dim-witted skeleton." The realisation dawning on me when I realised it was Dexter. I put my facade's face in my hands and sighed again, one of them was bound to tell Valkyrie when she got back...if she got back. I shouldn't be thinking like that but I know it's an option - a very high in possibility option.
