A/N: My friend, Katelyn, gave me the idea for this one. Shoutout to her.

You had arrived to Miss Peregrine's house about a year before the loop began. Your peculiarity was very rare: you were stunningly beautiful according to all that looked at you and your singing was supposedly the best in the world. In fact, your singing was so amazing that you could convince people to do whatever you wished simply by singing when you told them to do it.
You were friends with many of the other peculiars, especially Millard. You read over one of his manuscripts the other day (he would only let you read his manuscripts). He had written a story capturing all the information in Perplexus' work combined with that of several other scholars. It was incredible, and painted a very descriptive tale of peculiardom's history. You finished it a few days back, but read over it repeatedly every night. Now you were on your way to give it back to him. You walked up to his room, where the door was closed. You smiled faintly and set the book down in front of his door before walking away.
You sat in your room for a few minutes, staring at the ceiling silently. Your door creaked open and Millard seemed to be standing in the doorway.
"What did you think of the book? Was it any good?" he asked. You nodded.
"Really good, actually."
"Thanks."
You grinned at him and your bed dipped, a sign that he had sat down with you. He rested his invisible hand on yours, and you blushed furiously.
He laughed softly and whispered, "You are so adorable." Then he leaned forward and kissed you.  You took a moment to react, and when you did he smiled against your lips. You finally pulled away, smiling. He grinned at you before standing.
"See you around," he said before walking out.
"Yeah," you muttered. "See you."
You stared at your ceiling, smiling like an idiot.
"Best. Day. Ever," you whispered.
