Footsteps echoed as Valkyrie ran laughing down the plain halls of the sanctuary and towards Ghastly's office with Skulduggery chasing after her. She burst through the door, still laughing mind you, and hid behind Ghastly.

"VALKYRIE CAIN, YOU GIVE ME BACK MY HAT!" Skulduggery shouted.

Ghastly turned to Valkyrie,"What have you done now?"

"I stole his hat, duh." She made a face as he rolled his eyes.

Skulduggery ran through the open door and ran towards Valkyrie, tackling her down to the ground.

"Give. Me. My. Hat." He said.

She just laughed and kept the hat just out of his reach as they rolled around on the floor with Valkyrie on top.

Ghastly just sighed and continued with his work, trying to ignore them and also trying not to laugh. He and the Dead Men, along with Tanith, knew how those two felt for eachother but they all knew that they would need a little push to get them to open up...

Skulduggery shifted and got on top of Valkyrie and started tickling her. She laughed and rolled over, getting Skulduggery underneath her but eventually she gave up and she let go of the hat and got him back on top of her.

They froze for a second, looking into eachothers eyes or for Valkyrie, his eye sockets. Butterflies swarmed Valkyrie's stomach as she looked at him, she loved Skulduggery Pleasant but she knew that he didn't love her in the same way that she did. But what Valkyrie didn't know was that Skulduggery thought of her in the same way.

A few moments later they both got up and recollected themselves as they calmed down and tried to stop giggling.

Ghastly looked up,"Are you two done now?"

"Yeah." Valkyrie responded, then she turned to Skulduggery and mouthed,"This is so not over."

He punched her arm lightly and looked at Ghastly,"Sorry about that. We shall leave you to your boring paperwork now."

"Thank you. Now get out, I have a meeting in five minutes." He sighed.

Skulduggery looked at Valkyrie as she backed out of the room and followed her. Ghastly smiled as he heard them laughing as they sprinted down the corridor. And Skulduggery laughing even more as Valkyrie yelped and fell over.
