Enoch and Olive are in their small apartment.
September 3rd, 2046
"You know what today is, sweetie?" Enoch says. Pulling Olive out of bed early in the morning. "Why did you have to wake me up so early, Enoch?" Olive whispers rubbing her eyes. "You didn't even answer my question, Olive."  Enoch said. "You don't need to tell me again, Enoch. This day isn't important to me any more. I've lived it thousands of times." "But, Sweetie! I've already invited Claire, Millard, Jake and Emma over here for dinner. It's tradition, Olive. "You know what, Enoch. Let's move on with our lives." Olive stated. "is it time for your walk?" "Sure tie the rope around my waist."  "Also I wish The Bird could come but she's got other plans."  " I don't want The Bird to come anyway! If I didn't want to see Millard, Claire, Jake or Emma why would I want to see The Bird?" "I don't wanna hear it. Let's go. You know I never expected to have a girlfriend that I have to walk every morning. Now get your shoes on and let's go." "Shut up, Enoch!" Olive got her shoes on and Enoch grabbed the rope and stepped onto the long, green grass of Peculiartown. A town of apartments and peculiar stores such as Horace's store where he sells men's suits. All occupied by peculiars. No monster or human being could step in or out with the electric fence set up at the end of town and no monster or human being could even see the town. Through the eyes of humans and monsters the town is just an empty street with no stores or apartments. It was the safest place any peculiar could be. All peculiars from Miss Peregrine's home lived there. Even Miss Peregrine lived there herself. Enoch tied the rope around Olive and they started walking to Horace's store. Millard was posing as a headless mannequin in one of Horace's suits in the display window. Everybody knew he wasn't a mannequin but Horace was paying Millard a pretty high salary to stand in the window all day. "Hey, Horace! Long time no see, buddy!"  Olive looked at Millard in the window. "Hey, Millard." Olive said with a depressed look and low enthusiasm. "What's up, Enoch?" "My girlfriend." Enoch answered. "Funny joke, Enoch." Olive said sarcastically. "Pull me down." Enoch pulled her down. Enoch and Olive are back at home. "Olive, would you help me set the table? Our guests will be here soon." Enoch said. "Sure." Enoch and Olive set the table and the doorbell rings."Can you get that, Enoch?" Enoch goes and opens the door and Millard walks in with Claire holding their baby. "Enoch, I don't think you've met Lana!" "She's NOT peculiar!" "Oh be quiet! She's perfect just the way she is!" Olive walks in. "Why are you so grumpy, Olive?" Horace exclaimed "It's just that, they're making a movie about us and now I have fire and Emma has air." "OH MY GOD!" "What is this?" "Is this a joke? Everybody screamed. Enoch is smiling "But I'm the same!" Enoch proudly stated. "Except you are older, Enoch!" "Oh my god! If they're gonna make a documentary at least be true to how it went in real life!" Olive walked up to Enoch and gave an upset look. "Enoch honey, this isn't a documentary. It's being shown all over the world. This is making me even more upset." "That's okay by me. Humans will think it's just fiction." Enoch said. "Jake, I have something to tell you about this too." "Oh, crap!" "You know your psychiatrist/bus driver/ lawn care guy/your grandpa's "blind" neighbor who was mowing his lawn on the day Abe died./ The wight who you shot dead in the lighthouse?" Olive stated. "Yes." Jacob answered "He is a woman in the movie." "WHAT THE HELL? Who is this director anyway? Probably some no-name director that nobody even knows about." Jake replied. Olive chuckled. "Yeah! About that it's Tim Burton." "This is the most messed up movie ever." "Shall we eat?" "YES!" They walk in and Enoch serves the meal he prepared. "Carrots and peas from Fiona's garden and some pasta." Enoch said looking proud of what he had made. "Mmmm! My mouths are watering just by the thought of it!" Claire said. "Enoch! It's too cold! I'll heat everybody's up." Emma stated. She went and heated everybody's food up with her hands. "Oh Emma! When I married you I knew it would come in handy." Jake whispered. Emma took out her knife. "Don't use me!" Emma yelled. "Oh my god, Emma! You still carry that thing around?" Jacob said nervously. "Oh my god! Did you see the photo that Bronwyn posted on Peculiargram?" Claire said. "Oh yeah! She went out into the human world and won a bodybuilding competition!" Horace answered. " I still can't believe she's a bodybuilder." "She's frugal as hell though!" Olive yelled like she had something against Bronwyn. What was going on that Enoch didn't know about Bronwyn and Olive? Enoch ignored that and he decided to go on with what he was doing. He ran to his room and pulled a tiny box out of the drawer. He ran downstairs again. "Enoch, what's in that box?" Enoch walked to her and said. "Olive, since I met you hundreds of years ago I knew you were the one for me." Horace and Claire gave each other a look. They were wide eyed and knew what was going on. Enoch continued. "Just because you're sweet and I'm a savage doesn't mean we can't be together." Enoch opened the box. "Enoch, you aren't really-" Olive said nervously. "Yes I am. Olive Abroholos Elephanta, will you make the happiest peculiar in the whole world and marry me?" Olive started crying. "Yes! Oh my god." Olive cried more than ever with tears of joy. Horace and Claire clapped. "I'm so happy for you guys!" "Sometimes opposites attract."
THIS IS THE END. THERE WILL BE NO CHAPTER 2.
