Luny POV
I was investigating a murder. And not just any murder it was the murder of my best friend Tarnin Lynett, the only thing I could think of was that who ever did this is going to pay dearly for there crimes. I remember the first time we met. I had bumped into her at the mall, the first one ever built Southdale .
The year was 1956.
~Flash back~
"Oh I'm sorry miss I wasn't paying attention to were I was walking." I sheepishly said "Thats fine no harm done. My name is Tarnin, Tarnin Lynett." she said with a ghost of a smile on her face.
"My name is Luny Bird." I looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to us and said "Do you by any chance know Skullduggery Pleasant?" she laughed and said "I would answer but you would laugh at me If I did."
"No I don't think I will, I have seen many strange things in my life time." I gave a little laugh of remembrance. She had looked at me and reluctantly answered my question. "Yes I know him, but we are enemies. And hes a skeleton." she said obviously expecting me to laugh at her and call her crazy. But in stead I had said
"I knew I had heard that name before. And I bet you have heard of me, The deranged General Luny Bird who served faithfully under her brother. Also known as Luna Bird." I laughed and said "I have always wanted to meet you,But perhaps we could get to know each other at my house?" she had nodded.

I smiled sadly at the memory and started to rack my memory for any potential enemy of hers.
I remebered this one time we were talking about instruments.
~Begin Flash Back~
"Luny why do you play the clarinet?" I answered immediately "Because I love the sound it makes, the way music sounds when you have a clarinet in it, Plus" here I had paused and said with a laugh "i can bash someones head in with it. It makes load sounds and is a weapon." I looked at her and said "why do you play the violin?"
"I play it Because it sounds beautiful." she said with a dreamy smile. It was some time later when we were done playing that she asked if I had any enemy's I had answered "I have to many to count, how bought you who are you enemy's?" she answred "A couple areGhastly Bespoke,China Sorrows, and Dusk." I laughed and said "We must act the same around them then because they try to kill me every time I am near them."

We had laughed for hours at that one. I bent down to get a closer look at her corpse. I wanted to run away, but I owed it to her to try and figure this out. I bent a little closer noticing some thing sticking out of her pocket. I took a picture of it then pulled it out. It was a note to me. From her killer. Who ever this sick bastard was knew that this would get to me.
I immediately read the note.
Dear Luny I'm sure you have figured it out by now,No well I'm not surprised I didn't leave a clue.
How dose it feel to have you're best friend, you're only friend might I add, murdered by me a necromancer. The same one who murdered you're parents. I cant wait to see you.
Sincerely, S.W.
I knew that hand writing from anywhere. I got up quickly and went out the door revenge on my mind. I ran home to change into the proper attire, Black knee high boots, Neon pink short shorts, Neon yellow halter top that said I'M NOT INSANE YOU'RE JUST NORMAL!, and a neon green and black top hat with red lace on the rim.
My entire outfit screamed 'INSANE WOMAN' before I left to go beat that bastards ass I saw a picture of me and Tarnin laughing together.
~Begin Flash Back of That Day~
She was wearing her signiture out fit of Purple and Darkblue Scrubs with solid black shoes that I had written on with out her knowing. They said 'Danger I woke up this morining with one nerve left, AND YOU'RE GETTING ON IT!' she had laughed with me when she relised what I had done. We were tacking a picture so we would always remember our happy times together.
~End of Flash Back~
I shook my head to get my ming back on the task I had set before my self. I was pissed and ready to murder. With all my memories swirling around in my head I stormed out of the house of to kill the killer.
-time lasp-
I don't know how I knew exactly were he was or how I got here for that matter but I stormed into the warehouse interrupting a fight between him and my twin Skullduggery Pleasant. I graved the back of his shirt turned him a round and punched him square in the jaw before he had time to even register what I was doing I pulled out one of my double sided rapiers and slashed his side.
He finally got over the shock and said "Ah Luny how nice to see you. I see you got my note." "Wreath you dont have the right to call me by my first name. Why did you kill her?" I asked. I guess he could tell I was pissed because his eyes started to dart around looking for an escape route. I shook him hard and said "answer me damit!" he sighed and said "I did it because I had to. She was you're friend and I am going to break you one way or another sweet."
I pushed him away then pulled out my other sword and said " All you did was piss me off Wreath." with that said I jumped towards him and started fighting him.
The fight was pretty short and ended up with a beheaded necromancer. Skullduggery came over and said "Who did he kill?" "Tarnin, Skully he killed Tarnin just to get me to break." I laughed bitterly and Skully said "well you got you're revenge come one you need to bury her." I smiled sadly and nodded we walked out leaving Solomon's body to be found by the police who will never solve his murder.
However pissed I may be I do make sure that I will never be caught.
~The funereal~
"She was the best friend one could ever have. She may have seemed strict but when you get to know her she was a really fun person, the only thing I have to say know is that I'm sorry I wish it had been me instead of her." I said this with a heavy heart to the only people to show up,her only family left, her friends. We had buried her next to her family. After the funereal I walked away with a very sad heart and a sad smile remembering what her head stone said
Here Lies Tarnin Lynett
Born:3/21/1806

She was the best at everything. And she learned to play the clarinet so she could bash peoples heads in. May she kick ass in the after life.
