once there valkyrie and kenspeckle hide the machine and people had started to arive, first to show was ghastly.
"hello valkyrie, kenspeckle"
"hello ghastly, so glad you could come!"
"i just had to, seeing as how my number one clients were here and one is suposedly in need of a new fitting suit."
"he will be if he decides he will have his body once more..."
"it may be hard to convince him but seeing as how well you managed to make this happen, he just might."
"i hope so.."
about an hour or so later skulduggery arrived.
"valkyrie?"
"skulduggery! im glad you acctually came!"
"why wouldnt i?"
she just gave him a look that said 'seriously'
"okay, okay... i admit i didt feel all too happy knowing you were up to something!"
"well, if anything you may end up loveing this!"
while everyone was chatting amongst themselfs valkyrie snuck away with skulduggery to show him the machine. once there all he could do was stare at kenspeckle.
"h-how?"
"this machine my dear man."
"but thats impossable!"
"not entierly..."
"this is what i wanted to show you...and why i asked if you would ever want your body back"
"valkyrie...i dont know what to say..."
"i knew you'd be happy to have this option"
"kenspeckle will you give us a moment?"
"yes yes you two talk this out, im going to go and join the fun."
once gone skulduggery turned to valkyrie.
"why?"
"i thought you would want to..."
"no...thats not why you did this.."
"...i did this so you would be happy...with us, and not just be the one who can't feel anything when we kiss or when we hug... i wanted you to be able to feel what i do."
"stephanie...you didnt have to do this just for me...honestly "
"but i wanted to!"
it was silent for a moment.
"do you want your body back?"
"...kind of..."
valkyrie switched the machine on.
"which would you rathe use? one of your bones or a bit of your magic?"
"magic sounds less painful..."
once he put a drop of his magical entity into the machine his being came forth from his skeletal frame and dissappeared.
"i see you got him to agree."
"yea..."
but a second later he came through the small door. "how do i look?"
"s-skulduggery?"
"in the flesh and blood."
