Valkyrie's high pitch squeals benefited her nothing. She was soon short of breath, and filled with garbage odour. Desmond threw out a lot of old socks. Smelly old socks that were probably mouldy. Despite the hardships, however, Valkyrie devised a plan. She had a small window of opportunity. About the size of a doggy-door, to be precise.

Then Valkyrie jumped.

She landed perfectly into Ghastly's front pocket, forming a V-shape as she flew through the air. She concluded that if anyone saw her, she'd receive praise and applause. Especially him. He'd say something witty. Blushing, Valkyrie worked her way so she could see out of Ghastly's pocket.

To Valkyrie's utter surprise, Ghastly was back at the place garbage trucks live. The dump, or something. Valkyrie didn't actually know where garbage trucks went. She knew they had a heaven, but she didn't know where they lived. She thought it was strange.

Ghastly had left the truck, said goodbye to his fellow workmate Anton Shudder, and was headed towards the Batmobile. He waved goodbye to Batman as he spun his tyres and drove off, revealing Ghastly's red 1981 Mustang. Ghastly jumped into his car, causing Valkyrie to almost vomit. She remembered the smell Desmond's socks had, and did vomit, making the bottom of Ghastly's pocket gooey. Ghastly took no notice.

As Ghastly turned the keys in the ignition, the motor engine exploded, making Ghastly jump back. Which in turn make Valkyrie jump. Which in turn made more vomit slosh around in Ghastly pocket. Unfortunately, being a garbage man, Ghastly knew nothing about car engines. So he left his car, and walked home grumpily.


Soon, Ghastly was past halfway. Which was about 30 metres away from the home of the garbage trucks. To Ghastly absolute horror and demise, a huge black three headed dog jumped in front of him. Ghastly hated dogs. Not as much as Ravel, who was a postman, but Ghastly hated dogs quite a lot. Running back the way he came, flailing his hands in air, Ghastly screamed like a terrified little girl. The three headed dog followed.

The dog was actually attracted to the scent of Valkyrie, who smelt like dogfood flavoured ice-cream (thanks to Desmond's invention!), but Ghastly didn't know this. Valkyrie did. And was screaming in the same pitch as Ghastly, which was really, really high. If she was bigger, and not safely in Ghastly's pocket, she'd be running too.

They ran, and ran, and ran, and ran, and ran. For about 200 words. Then a strange, powerful voice that sounds like Gary Oak spoke:
"Fluffy?! Here Fluffy! I've got a sacrifice for you!" said a smiling Andro Zeus.

Luckily for Ghastly and Valkyrie, Fluffly loved sacrifices. So he ran off back to his master. To make things worse, Ghastly was now more than 30 metres away from the halfway point. To make things even more worse, it started to rain. It was good that Valkyrie no longerhad to hang out with her vomit, but bad that the rest of Ghastly's shirt now had to wear it.

Somehow lightening the mood, Ghastly's phone rang with this tune. Ghastly chuckled.

"Hello Ghastly?" said the caller, in a voice that sounded like Dexter Vex.
"Hey there, Dex," Ghastly said glumly.
"We still cool for tonight?"
"Sure thing. :)"
"Great! I'll see you there. You me at six?"
"You know it. :)"
And then Ghastly hung up, a smile on his face.

Valkyrie then realised what just happened. Ghastly had just confirmed his bromance date with Dexter Vex. And Valkyrie was going to have to tag along. She swallowed some vomit in a gasp and a gulp.
