Surprise

A/n: requested by ScarletBlack1301

Summary:Val is kidnapped... with a plot twist.

Third person pov:
Valkyrie was walking down the street, like any other day. Exept it wasn't like another day, because today was her birthday! Today she turned 17, and so far, she had got gifts from her parents and a call from Fletcher, Tanith and Ghastly. She hadn't heard from Skulduggery. Then again, he usually gave her gifts when they saw eachother. They were always stupid and useless, yet she kept every single one of them. She knew he did the same with gifts from her when she went exploring (definitely not noseying) around his house and found them.

Anyway, there was no one else about, because it was still early, so she decided she had time to stop by her favourite coffee shop for, well, a coffee and a pastry. However, as she was walking, she felt someone grab her and wrap their arm around her neck. Whoever it was must be skilled because she was out in a minute, with no room to fight no matter how hard she tried.

When Val woke up she was on a sofa. Skulduggerys sofa. She sat up and before she had time to blink there was an explosion of confetti and a loss chorus of, "HARRY BIRTHDAY!" Wait. Wasn't she kidnapped? Instead of a regular kidnapper, and she had seel lots of those, there was Skulduggery, Ghastly, Tanith and Fletcher. They were holding a big banner that said 'happy birthday' and there was colourful confetti everywhere, Skulduggery didn't seem to happy about that.
"What?" Was all she could ask.
"We planned you a surprise party and kidnapped you to get you to it." Replied Skulduggery, he seemed amused by her confusion.
"You could have just invited me." She said.
"Yeah but what's the fun in that?" He asked, "Anyway, let's party. Be careful, don't make a mess and clean up after." He sat down next to her and sighed, watching the others make a mess of his house was obviously painful for him.
"You did all this for me?"
"Yes. And I'm now regretting it. FLETCHER I SAW THAT, PUT THE BOWL OF CRISPS DOWN! If they have a food fight, it's your fault."
"If they have a food fight, I'm joining in."
"Of course." He mumbled. "Here's your present." He handed her a small box. She opened it and gasped.
"You got me socks."
"With pizza on them."
"There masterpieces!"
"I wasn't expecting this, but I'm glad you like them."
"Did you not expect me to like them?"
"I don't know inwent to the, shop, picked up the first thing I saw and thought this will do. Now your holding it and calling it a masterpiece. Good on me."
"You're an idiot but thank you."
"You're just jelous that I'm better than you but your welcome." They were interrupted by a cry of
"FOOD FIGHT!" from Tanith.

Let's just say, the party ended with a very upset Skulduggery and a very messy house.
