This will just be a texting chapter set the day before the wedding since I love them so much. Next chapter is the wedding! I am actually really excited.

Violet and Jade

Hey I saw u going home with anton last night? Or was that some other girl who looked like u? Vi xxx

O_O. It was me. Jade xxx

Ooh. So wat happened? Vi xxx

Nothing really. We went back to the hotel, had some more wine, had sex...Jade xxx

Oh that's boring. Vi xxx

OMIGOD I JUST READ THAT AGAIN! VI XXX

Haha well it was a casual affair..I crept out in the morning. Jade xxx

Very slick! I'm proud! Vi xxx

Then I text him asking about if he'd seen my earring. Jade xxx

Not so proud. You're not meant to mention the casual sex in texts. Just accept the loss of your earring. Vi xxx

Then I said I'd talk to him tomorrow. And told him to have a Happy Before the Wedding Day. Jade xxx

What were your exact last text words? Vi xxx

have a great Before-Wedding-Day-Day. Tomorrow. Jade xxx

Poor u. Why can't u two just be happy?! Vi xxx

Bc he's a dickhead. Jade xxx

He's romantic. Ish. He's also a sexual predator but he can be romantic. Vi xxx

He said he wanted the whole hog. He wants to marry me and have my kids. Jade xxx

It'd be a bit weird if HE had your kids. Vi xxx

O_o. Jade xxx

Now I don't even know what that face is meant to be...Vi xxx

Right now it means "stop being weird and help Jade with her crisis". Jade xxx

Well then, almighty face, my advice to Jade is to tell him how you feel. Vi xxx

I tried that. Didn't you see how I rejected his proposal? Jade xxx

Yes. Rather harshly. Vi xxx

I really don't want to date him right now, Vi, never mind marry him. Jade xxx

:) I support you. So does Billy. Vi xxx

:) thanks. Jade xxx

Gotta go. My gorgeous fiance needs my hotness in the room. Vi xxx

Bye. Jade xxx

Skulduggery Valkyrie

Are you awake?

No.

Well that's just stupid.

Well you're just stupid.

And that's mean.

You're mean.

You're a bully.

Why did you wake me up at this ungodly hour?

It's 8am.

On a Saturday.

So?

It's okay for you. You don't sleep.

So?

Why did you wake me up, Skulduggery?

We have a case.

Hmm?

Hmm.

What's the case?

Oh Erskine's darling daughter.

Awesome.

Ersketta.

Yep. I remember.

It cracks me up everytime.

You're so immature.

BULLY.

Shut up, Skulduggery. When are you picking me up?

I'm outside your window now.

Jesus Christ! I'm in my underwear! How can you float and text?

Who got you that underwear?

What the hell...Tanith.

Why?

When I was dating Fletcher.

I hope you didn't use them.

O_O. No comment.

I'm disappointed.

Oh come on. I bet you've seen sexier underwear than this.

This conversation is getting weird.

O_O.

Anyway get dressed, Valkyrie.

Don't watch me.

As if. I'm not interested in your kind.

Women?

Teenagers who wear sexy underwear for boyfriends without consulting her best friend.

I consulted Tanith.

I'm offended.

I can have more than one best friend.

Ghastly's my top best friend.

But you're my top best friend.

You're forgiven. You're my top best friend too.

Now get changed lazy. I promise I won't watch. I'll hang out on the roof.

Erskine Skulduggery

Any news on Ersketta?

Nope. Why are you so bothered?

Because I'd be a good dad.

Is this about what Fletcher said? I didn't know you bothered listening to him. I don't.

I don't either normally. He's all Hair.

So what's up?

I want something to prove that my life isn't a waste.

Deep.

I know. I'm a very deep man.

No. Ersketta lives in an Irish mage town called Deep.

She's in Ireland, right now?

Yes.

Wow.

Mr Ravel, we've found your daughter.

That was Valkyrie.

I guessed. She loves those "long lost family" shows.

I'm going for a Big Mac with Valkyrie. Talk later.

Skulduggery Ghastly

Valkyrie wears sexy underwear for Fletcher.

What?

She wears it for FLETCHER!

I'm confused.

Valkyrie was in her sexy underwear this morning and I said to her where did you get this? She said Tanith bought it her when she was dating Fletcher.

Did she use them?

That's what I asked. And she said "no comment".

Ooh. What does that mean?

That she used them probably!

Should we have an intervention for her and Fletcher?

No. I'd probably strangle him.

Why do you care so much?

She's my best friend!

Okay.

It's like if you found out that Tanith wore sexy underwear to seduce Sanguine.

Bloody hell, Skulduggery, I'm not going to be disappointed at Tanith for wearing sexy underwear.

Okay so maybe it's SLIGHTLY different but still...

You make me LOL

Oh god, Ghastly, don't turn into a text language manic.

LMAO ur txts - so spesh.

English please.

Laughing my ass off at your texts - they're so special.

I'm going now.

Cya babe.

Okay, that was odd.

Didn't mean to call you babe.

Skulduggery?

Sanguine Violet

BILLY WE'RE GETTING MARRIED TOMORROW!

Oh dear. I forgot.

What?!

Just kidding, Violet! I can't wait! WE'LL BE MR AND MRS SANGUINE

I'm not changing my name.

Fine. We'll be Mr and Mrs Halliwell.

Better.

We can't magically change our names.

Mentally we can.

Okay. Love you

Love you too.

See you tomorrow. I'll be the one at the end of the aisle looking hot in a groom suit.

So I don't mistake you for Anton.

Vicar Anton in his dog collar and cloaky thing.

Yep. Love you.

I LOVE YOU TOO VIOLET! NOW GO AND NEXT TIME WE TALK IT'LL BE OUR WEDDING!
