This one follows the first chapter which I have realised isn't very good because I cut off half of it

Skeleton Shopping Part 2

Skulduggery was still in a mood with Valkyrie and Tanith as they got into the car, he made a mental note to make a plan with Ghastly later on. He began to check his disguise in the windshield mirror as his friend climbed into the passenger seat next to him.

Ghastly, knowing his old friend, decided not to bring up their embarrassment in the underwear store and simply turned on the radio too some of their favourite music.

Bad move Ghastly, he would later tell himself. He could see Skulduggery's mood rise slowly when some of his favourite music came on.

"What the hell is this? It's so gay and old, turn it off" Valkyrie said with a look of disgust as both girls glared at the stereo.

"Yeah come on put something new on, have a change of heart and yes we know you don't have one Pleasant" Tanith said stuffing her fingers into her ears.

"Excuse me but I am older than this so called 'gay and old' music is, so therefore you are calling me 'gay and old'. So am I gay and old?" he yelled, silently both girls agreed that he was gay and old but didn't take the risk in angering him more than they already had.

"Good so how about you both put a sock in it for ten minutes, if that is possible" Skulduggery hissed while turning the Bentley sharply round a corner. This caused Tanith to slam into Valkyrie who had recently injured her arm and was not allowed any pressure on it.

SNAP. Valkyries face turned white with pain as she screamed, this caused Skulduggery to look back at his partner in worry and crash the car into a tree.

Tanith quickly called someone and then in a matter of minutes everyone was safely in a new car with Mr. Bliss, who commanded the driver to get to the Cinema where Kenspeckle Grouse was.

All Skulduggery had to do was walk in and the professor of magical science / doctor knew that Valkyrie had a broken arm again. He could also see that the other three may have some sprained bones and some nasty bruises forming.

The Injury Tree

"Detective, how many times have I told you not too take your embarrassment and turn it into anger which directs at Valkyrie which causes her to get hurt?" demanded Kenspeckle as soon as he heard the story.

He told Valkyrie to sit on one of the hospital beds and rest while he went to get the medicine (and yell at Skulduggery for being an irresponsible mentor). This is something Valkyrie found very funny at this moment, why you may ask.

It had to do with the fact he chased her into the security and embarrassing her by the fact she had to be taken outside and she was certain that she saw The Toxic Twins there. Then he put on some crap music that she had to take the fun out of and got yelled at. Then he caused Tanith to slam into her, which re-broke her arm and then crashed the car into a tree causing more injures.

So he deserved it and this time she was not going to stick up for the damn skeleton even if he apologised over and over again. Plus, she thought it was about time someone yelled at him and Kenspeckle deserved that since he had saved her life time and time again.

Come to think of it he saved her parents lives too, could you imagine if she went home with a couple of broken bones every few weeks. Wow, she thought as she thought about a life without any magic or fighting, she came to the conclusion that it would be crap and that she had no idea how her uncle did it.

This was all pondering through her head as Kenspeckle treated her after he had a long good go at Skulduggery Pleasant. He sighed as he finished and looked at the 18 year-old in front him, she seemed to be deep into thought, this was no doubt about what just happened.

He went into the room where Pleasant lay, even without the looks the professor could tell the skeleton was glowering about the fight and was slightly sulky about the fact he had to wear the elephant and bunny hospital wear.

"Well you better be glad that Valkyrie is fine no thanks to you Mr. Pleasant" he snapped while dabbing some moisture onto the bone of his arm which was slowly tearing away.

"Look I have issues okay" he snapped back sulkily and let the relief that Valkyrie hadn't died because of him and he wouldn't have to tell her parents about how. If she had and he would tell her parents he would probably be under the ground as they speak.

Thankfully that hadn't happened and the worst thing they had to worry about was him looking god awful in the hospital wear.

1 hour later

The four had returned to Gordons home, as Valkyrie still referred to it even thought it was legally hers now. But no one else had known about the fact that when it was just her Echo-Gordon would wander the halls and chat to her.

They had found Fletcher Renn waiting for them in the lounge eating a large chocolate bar while grumbling about the fact his Spanish girlfriend had dumped him because he had picked up the wrong language and instead had said "¿Cómo sobre nosotros nos vamos a la cama?"

This had meant 'how about we go to bed?' which was surprisingly not what he had wanted to say.

Oh well it was his fault for trusting Skulduggery for help in Spanish. And as soon as Valkyrie has said that Gordon had decided to make an appearance, this had caused a whole lot of confusion and yelling but they calmed down once he explained.

Well they got mad at me for not telling (*cough* Skulduggery *cough*), honestly its like the worlds out to get her sometimes.
