"Scorch, get in the bath."

"No."

"Scorch. Bath. Now."

"No."

"Bath."

"No."

Valkyrie and Scorch stood arguing in front of the bath tub in Skulduggery's house. Valkyrie was trying to get Scorch to take a bath. It wasn't going well.

She sighed. "What is it going to take to get you to take a bath?"

Scorch thought for a moment. "No more healthy treats."

"Can't do that."

"Then no bath."

Valkyrie huffed angrily. "Then what will it take other than that to get you to take a bath?"

"Nothing."

"Oh come on, there has to be something that you want."

"Well….."

Five Minutes Later…

"Hey Skulduggery?"

"Yes Valkyrie?"

"Can I have your leg?"

"Excuse me?"

"Can I have your leg?"

"No. Why do you need it?"

"Because otherwise Scorch won't take his bath."

"Well make him take a bath. Use necromancy to pick him up. It isn't like when he was a puppy and you could just pick him up and drop him into the water and listen to him complain."

Valkyrie sighed. "Alright, fine."

In the Bathroom…

"Scorch, I'm going to ask one more time nicely. Take a bath."

"No."

"Alright then, I'm sorry I have to do this."

Valkyrie waved her hand and the shadows wrapped themselves around Scorch and picked him up.

"What!? Hey! No fair!"

"Well too bad."

The shadows went to put him into the water but Scorch stuck all four paws out and braced himself on the sides of the tub.

"Get. In. The bath."

"NO!"

Valkyrie sighed, took a deep breath then jumped on Scorch.

"SPLASH!"

The shadows disappeared as Valkyrie tried to hold Scorch down in the water as she grabbed the shampoo. The walls and floor were completely covered in water and soap.

She squirted a bunch on him and scrubbed his fur until they were both covered in bubbles.

Scorch had finally stopped struggling and had resorted to angry grumbling. Valkyrie grabbed the shower head and turned on the water. She rinsed the bubbles off then grabbed the conditioner. She squirted some on Scorch's head and rubbed it all over his body. Once she had rinsed all of that out she drained all the water out and gave him one more rinse then grabbed a fluffy white towel. She scrubbed Scorch's fur until it was dry then stepped back.

His fur was fluffed up and he looked like a black ball of fluff.

Scorch glared at her. "Never do that again."

"No promises."
