Valkyrie's P.O.V

I woke the next day in my bed. Duh. And thought about the night before

Tanith is pregnant.

Fletcher was going to have a sore head today.

Skulduggery, if he could and if we got married, wanted kids.

Fletcher and skull hate each other.

Then I thought about my dream. In my dream, me and skull got married, in my dream we had kids, in my dream we were so happy, in my dream we kicked butt.

I checked that there was no dream catcher thingy, and opened my eyes. "Good morning skull!" I chirped. There was no answer.

"SKULL?" I said again. Still no answer. I turned on my side, it was empty.

I got out from under the duvet and flew down the stairs calling his name. no answer.

No one was in the house apart from me. Skull was gone. I sat down as the realisation hit. I was not having pancakes. I stood up a pored me some cereal, and then made my way to the living room. I turned on the T.V and watched 'my neighbour Totro', I ate my cereal, and realised that I had not changed clothes in what, two days, nor had I had a shower. I stank. After washing up, I went to the bathroom, my hair was horrid. I turned the shower on, got undressed, went to pee, cleaned my teeth then stepped under the warm spray. It felt amazing. I cleaned my hair with 'head and shoulders' and conditioned with that as well. I wrapped a towel around me and turned the shower off. I dried off and decided to get dressed in my koala onesie, I was having a lazy day today. I tried to call skulduggery but he would not answer. I went downstairs and carried on watching the film.

At 12:00, I thought I should have lunch, so I searched the cupboards for something to eat. When I found nothing, I called dominos and asked for a cheese and tomato pizza, stat. it arrived soon, and I sat down with the pizza and channel surfed. I wolfed down three pieces of pizza. Soon, I thought, I better go looking for him. I changed into the clothes Ghastly made, and just as I was about to open the door, the sound of fumbling for keys came from the other side. First, I thought it was Skull, but it was a human figure. I grabbed a knife from the kitchen, and clicked my figures and developed the spark into fire and hid behind the sofa. The door burst open and I threw the fire at him.

"Val!" the man yelled.

"stay back!" I cried.

I ran forward and held the knife to his throat.

"Val?"

"where is skulduggery" I growled

"WHO ARE YOU!" I yelled, I cut is arm and he hissed. The man answered

"Skulduggery!"

"LIAR!" I screamed. He then tapped some symbols on his neck and the body retracted, to reveal a skeleton!

"hi val." Skulduggery said.

"OMG SKULL! WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN YOU IDIOT!"

"Well, I went to China Sorrows and quarter to nine, to get the façade symbol upgraded. So now it allows me to have a human body and not just a face!"

I felt like crying, don't be so stupid I thought.

"why?" I asked.

"So, you don't miss out on anything human. Like going to the beach and if the relationship last's, kids!"

This time I cried.

"you don't like it? You don't want it?" skulduggery sounded hurt.

"I do, of course I do. You didn't have to do that!"

"I wanted to."

"wow, is this how you looked before?"
"yes, do you like it!"

"how…can someone…look so good!"

At this, he lent forward and kissed her.

"glad you think so to!"

I laughed, and kissed him pressing into his body.

"skull…." I said between kissing

"what…" he gasped
"want pizza!"

"pizza?" he broke away

"yea thought you might be hungry!"

"AM I! I haven't eaten in 300 years Val!"
I giggled. "taking that as a yes."

"you better!" he grabbed a slice and wolfed it down.

Soon he had finished the rest of the pizza and we were cuddled up on the sofa watching 'The Cabin in The Woods' he always put on horror movies because he knew I was going to cuddle up to him. It was 12:00pm when we finally went up to bed and we both slept. It felt amazing to um… to sleep with him!
