Summary: Valkyrie gets drunk at a high school party and calls Skulduggery to pick her up.

Tw:depiction of being drunk and hung over (I have never been either of those things so sorry if anythings inaccurate)

Third person pov:
She was drunk. Very drunk. And she didn't like it one bit. She hated the feeling of not being in control of her own body, of feeling like she was going to be sick every few minutes, of not being able to fight and god she wanted to sleep. She wanted to sleep so bad, but she couldn't go home like this. Oh, idea!

She went outside and called her parents, saying that she was going to sleep at a friend's. Then, she called Skulduggery, told him the address and said to come pick her up. She wasnt sure if he agreed or not because she went into an alley beside the house and fell asleep. Stupid, she knew, but Valkyrie was drunk and tired so her survival training didn't mean mutch right now.

Time skip

She woke up ten minutes later to someone picking her up. Valkyrie was about to fight them, until she felt the unaturally skinny arms, frail and lack of warmth coming from his body. The comforting hum of Mrs Jones made her fall back asleep again, just as he put her in the Bentley.

Time skip

She woke up again on the sofa of his house. When Valkyrie finally got her eyes open she saw there was a glass of water on the table. She realised how dry her throat was and drank it. Someone in front of her cleared there throat. Skulduggery. Shit. Her head pounded  and her vision was blury, but there was no mistaking that it was the skeleton detective that sat before her.
"Don't look at me like that." She croaked. Her throat was so sore.
"I don't have a face to look at you with."
"Yeah, well you look disappointed to me."
"I am disappointed."
"Do I get a reward?"
"Depends. Is a lecture a reward?"
"No."
"To bad." She groaned at him but he continued. "What you did was extremely dangerous. I'm glad you called me, but falling asleep in an alleyway! You could have gotten seriously hurt!"
"I just wanted to be a normal teenager for a night." She whispered. His face softened. Or she imagined it would if he had one. His voice did anyway.
"I know. And you can. But that does not mean you can put your safety at risk like that! What would I do without you Val? I need you! You promised 'until the end' but you seemed to forget that."
"Omg! Your making it sound like I tried to kill myself! All I did was fall asleep in an alley. I know it was stupid and I won't do it again, I promise. And yes, i will always call you if I ever do anything stupid like that again. Happy now?" She sighed. He paused for a minute before replying.
"Fine."
"Good. Now can you get me one of those leaves, my head is about to burst open and you'll have to clean up my blood and brain slodge." He got up and gave her a small green leaf to chew on. She put it in her mouth and the effect was almost instant.
"Want to watch  film?" He asked.
"Yes please."
