Shelves (Skuduggery Pleasant, Valduggery)
The day had come.
It had happened one morning, and Valkyrie hadn't even been expecting it. She had been taking a shower, and reached over to place the shampoo on the shelf.
It was a nice shelf. It was Skulduggery's shelf. She had been showering at his house, after a case. He had called up the stairs that he was going out, and she had yelled back that she had heard. The shelf was made of glass.
Valkyrie had placed the shampoo on the glass shelf, and it had promptly shattered.
She yelped, trying to dodge the falling bottles, and stepped on a piece of glass. She cursed this time and nearly fell, catching hold of the shower curtain rod.
That had

Motorcycles (Skulduggery Pleasant, Valduggery)
Once, Valkyrie had been afraid of motorcycles. She was afraid of the way they bit into the road with two wheels, bent at impossible angles, weaved like they were alive through traffic. Once, Valkyrie had been afraid of a lot of things.
Now, Valkyrie loved to ride. It thrilled her to kiss the ground, soar over the pavement. It was a lot like horseback riding; she and the machine became one. It was a lot like flying—what she remembered it to be. Freedom.
Of course, not quite to the extent that flying had been like. Never like that.
Flying had been something else. She had danced like a god above the heads of everyone, suspended by nothing.

Longing (Skulduggery Pleasant, Darquesse)
Darquesse missed Lord Vile.
She hated that she missed him. She thought about this as she looked through a hole in the rock. She hated a lot of things. A bad mood, that's what Valkyrie had called her. Now Darquesse was all bad mood.
She hated this place, for one. When the Faceless Ones weren't tearing her ligament from ligament, she was stuck with nothing to do but heal herself and gaze upwards at the sky.
When she had been back on Earth, she had thought blood was so pretty. Sometimes, the way it caught the light reminded her of a sunset, or one of those abstract paintings, and sometimes it was just pretty.
The sky here was always red. Even at

Traffic (Skulduggery Pleasant, Valduggery)
Valkyrie Cain had saved the world.
It wasn’t anything she liked to brag about. She didn’t get up in the morning with the express purpose to remind everyone nearby that she had saved the world—numerous times.
“We’ve saved the world.”
Skulduggery’s head moved a centimeter in her direction. “I’m sorry?”
Valkyrie continued to gaze out of the car window, watching the man in the next car over pick his nose.
“Well, it’s just that we’ve saved the world, Skulduggery. Everything.”
The car inched forward, engine purring with impatience.
“I… fail to see your p
Sollux lay on the floor in his room, slowly dehydrating himself from the crying that pursued. He’s been listening to that god awful song on repeat for days now, and you’re sick of it. In fact, he worries you. He hasn’t come out to eat or use the ablution trap which is gross and not to mention unhealthy. You are completely done with his crap, even if she was the love of his life. Just as you reach for his door knob, you hear the faintest noise of him weeping.
“Oh for Gog’s sake…” You mutter.
You quietly open his door.
“Listen, I know this is really hard for you, but for the sake o

You tell your new friends that you'll be back for another couple laps of skating in a bit. You figured that you should hang out with the person who gave you the idea to meet up here in the first place. You go outside with Sollux to get a nice breath of fresh air. You both lean against the brick outside under the huge lights that spelled out the name of the building. The moons' light bright rays flickered through the clouds and the crisp wind made goosebumps go up your arms. You smile and rest your head back on the building.
"Had fun with thothe moronth?"
You giggle and nod.
"Yeah, we had a blast. You should skate with us when we go back in."

"Hey you. Whats your problem?"
You look up and notice one of those gray skinned people from the group you were going to talk to.
"What you cant speak English?" The fellow snipped and crossed his arms looking down at you. You scan him and noticed that his horns were similar to Sollux's. After a minute or two his face tinted red and took a step back.
"Are you checking me out?!" He yelled, thank god that no one could hear him over the music blaring in the back ground. You stand up and shook your hands trying to recover.
"No! No, no, no, no! I was just seeing how similar you are to one of my friends!"
"Pft, I doubt your friend looks good as me

You walk up to a wide building that's bright neon lights are now displaying their magic. The buzzing is all you can hear until you open the glass doors into the building. This is your first time skating here and first time skating in general. You go and buy your way into the skating rink along with the fee for skates. You walk into the hallway noticing the three different doors that led to different sections. One to the skate rink, one to the food court and one to the arcade. You took in a deep breath and walked into the arcade section, nervous for the result of people who will look at you funny.
It was practically dark and the smell of
