Nothing, the skulduggery pleasant version.

Fletcher and Valkyrie had been split up for around 2 weeks, both hiding behind a strong shield that formed whenever the other was mentioned, but once down they silently pleaded they were together;. Skulduggery was claiming that they are just teenagers and once you live for a few hundred years, the curse wears off slightly. Valkyrie knew different though.

Even she knew that she had been a grumpy cow ever since she had screamed him out of her room, so Tanith decided that it would be a good idea to take her out to the local pub to take her mind off things. At the slight mention of pub, Skulduggery and Ghastly instantly flashed into view, hurriedly putting overcoats on.

Although she didn't want to go, she followed. Finding it hard to not drag her feet at her uninspired actions, they eventually made it to the Pub where she rapidly fell into the succulent trap of jack Daniels and friends.

Around 5 hours later, roughly 2 am, they were pushed out of the pub and sent on their way. It was probably because of her misery but Valkyrie had definitely drunk the most out of everyone, you didn't need to have been out with them to know, you could smell it.

She suddenly became aware of her mobile phone in her pocket, she pulled it out and after flicking through old messages randomly as they crossed numerous streets, she could feel her blood going cold then piping hot then freezing with anger and confusion. Why wasn't she with Fletcher? Even though she was drunk, she should tell him, even if they are slurred. She dialled but. Nothing.

As she followed them through the park, still determined about her and Fletcher, she saw a bridge approaching. Around 20 from the water with a low edge. The endless rounds of shots encouraged her to climb on top. She rang his mobile for a second time. Nothing.

With that she screamed as loud as she could "I STILL LOVE YOU FLETCHER!" With that the group turned around just in time to see Valkyrie throw her phone as far as she could, burst into a sob and dive headfirst into the icy-cold water. This slick action flicked an instant switch in all 3 friends to run after her. The water was too deep to wade in, even for Skulduggery, he also had a new suit, so they sprinted with the air behind them down to the side of the river so pull the uncoordinated girl out of the river.

As soon as Valkyrie hit the water, she could feel herself lose energy and use of her limbs. She started to flail and then felt too tired to continue, her eyes started to droop, she let them. Her feet wanted to stop kicking, she let them. Then suddenly she looked around and she could swear that Fletcher was in the water with her, he gently swam underwater towards her, his hair looked the best it had ever looked, not up like a electrocuted porcupine but shaggy and naturally styled. His hands held onto hers, then his right moved to her hip, he began rotating them round and around like they were waltzing underwater. He leaned in. They both closed their eyes and puckered their lips in synch and..

"VALKYRIE! VALKYRIE CAN YOU HEAR ME? PLEASE OPEN YOU EYES?" the voiced that belonged to the skeleton she owed her life to many a time, but suddenly she despised it for rescuing her from a, no it couldn't have been a dream about her and Fletcher. Could it? She opened her eyes and managed a smile to Skulduggery. Tanith and Ghastly were also their smiling with seemingly unnecessary glee. "well done Valkyrie, you managed to know yourself out from jumping into the water, I had to jump in the groggy water and save you. This suit was clean you know!" Skulduggery declared. "Sorry, I don't know what came over me." Answered Valkyrie. She turned to Tanith, "what's his problem?" "He is just angry because a duck stole his hat" They all had to laugh at that, except Skulduggery who just grunted indignantly

As they walked back through the park back the Ghastly's, Valkyrie saw something in a bush. She leaned in to pick it up, it was her phone. As she simply smiled she tried once more to contact Fletcher, when no one replied she threw the phone into the river where it sank, cutting off all power to the phone, staying down in the darkness.

The saying 3rd time lucky never effected Valkyrie, and it would have done if Fletcher had called a few seconds earlier. You see, as the phone flew through the sky, he called, Valkyrie didn't know of course but once it hit the water, it cut off leaving Fletcher to believe she didn't care, although she did and Valkyrie to believe he didn't care after not answering any of her calls, when he did..
