Playing with Easter eggs

DON'T try this at home…

It was Easter morning. Valkyrie looked out of her window, waiting for her friends (and Fletcher) to come. Suddenly, something splattered against her window. It was an egg. She opened her window and saw him.

"FLETCHER! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"

Fletcher laughed.

"Try it." He said, walking away. He was too busy mocking Valkyrie to see the lamppost. He walked straight into it. Valkyrie almost died laughing. Fletcher scowled.

"Happy Easter, Fletch!" Valkyrie laughed, shutting her window. She walked downstairs and opened the door. Fletcher was rubbing his head. He walked over and handed her a bag.

"Thanks, Fletcher." Valkyrie said. Fletcher shrugged. He walked in and sat on the sofa.

"The others should be here soon." He said. Next thing Valkyrie knew, she was being hugged by Tanith.

"What's with the hugging?" Valkyrie asked. Tanith shrugged.

"Felt like it." She smiled.

"Can I have a hug?" Fletcher asked. Tanith thought.

"No." She said walking off. Fletcher scowled.

"No fair!" He whined. "How come you get one?"

"Because I'm not annoying." Valkyrie laughed.

Once everyone had got there (All the people from the Christmas one…) and exchanged eggs, they started to talk.

"I would say I'm bored, but I don't want another Christmas experience." Fletcher whispered to Valkyrie. She laughed as the memory came into her head…

FLASHBACK…

By the end of it all, Scapegrace had singed hair, Sanguine had a broken leg and Fletcher had had 20 bb bullets shot at his arse.

END OF FLASHBACK…

"OK!" Tanith yelled, cheerily. "Let's play truth or dare!"

They sat in a circle.

"Fletcher," Tanith said. "Truth or dare?"

"Dare." He smiled.

"I dare you to kiss Valkyrie."

Valkyrie gaped. Fletcher merely shrugged and kissed her. She stared at him and punched him. Hard. Tanith laughed. Fletcher rubbed his cheek.

"Okay," He started "Valkyrie, truth or dare."

"Truth."

"Do you love Skulduggery?"

Valkyrie blushed. She didn't want to seem stupid, but she didn't want to lie either. Luckily, JJ interrupted.

"Fletcher, she's obviously not going to say anything. She's still paralyzed by your pathetic kissing."

Everyone laughed.

"You startin' a fight, JJ?" Sanguine asked. "You didn' bring yer gun. This is gonna be easy."

Sanguine and JJ stood up. JJ bent down and pulled a small gun out of her sock. Sanguine laughed.

"What'er you gonna do? Spray water at me?"

JJ smiled and at pulled the trigger. A bb bullet hit Sanguine in the face. He fell over. JJ turned to Fletcher and Scapegrace.

"You two are next." She smiled.

All you could here from outside was a loud…

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
