~~~Millard's POV~~~

 I was putting on my colored contact lenses, that quite honestly are difficult to put in, but essential to blend in. Not that I like blending in. Well it comes in handy, but my invisibility is my most treasured trait, other than my intelligence. 

"I still can't believe you had the balls to ask Emily Williams out." Hugh said from his bed. He and Jake were currently playing the video game, Halo. Jake was obviously in the lead.

"We're friends. This is what 21st century friends do. How do I look?" I stepped out of the bathroom to show Jake and Hugh my outfit. What a mistake.

They burst out laughing.

"Millard this is 2014. Not 1914. Lose the bowtie" Jake took my bowtie "And put on a  flannel and pair of jeans." Hugh said as he shuffled around his room looking for clothes and tossed me jeans and a flannel. "Go change" I quickly changed into the clothing and stepped out for inspection.

"Better" Jake said. "But don't gel up your hair." He messed up my hair. "And wear converse." He tossed me my normal everyday shoes. 

"There we go." Hugh said. I looked at myself in the mirror.

"I'm wearing exactly what I wore to school today!" I exclaimed.

"Damn," Hugh said. "You dressed up." I rolled my eyes and made my way downstairs.

~~Bronwyn's POV~~

"Just a little bit of mascara and voila!" Emma said as she finished my make up.

I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked incredible!

"Oh thank you guys!" I hugged Emma and Fiona as tight as I could.

"Wyn-can't-breathe" Emma breathed out.

"Oh sorry" I said, letting go of them. Sometimes I forget my own strength.

"It's alright Wynnie. Say why do you want your make up done anyways? You're just going out with Millard and his date. And her friends." Fiona asked while eating her second Butterfinger.

"I just want to look nice. Why have you eaten two chocolates? In an hour." I asked.

Fiona dropped the candy bar and smiled.

"Oh no reason. I just didn't eat lunch." She lied. She ate a huge lunch, I should know, I was there.

"Sure..." I narrowed my eyes. She was lying, but I'll find out what later. Right now I had a movie date. With nine other people.

"Bye, guys! I'll see you later" I yelled as I ran downstairs.

"Ready?" I asked Millard.

"Yes, come on. We need to go over the plan." We walked towards the movie theater as Millard went over ' The Plan'. For the third time. Today.

"Okay Bronwyn the plan is simple. I will sit by Emily, Victoria, Luke, and Max, while you sit by Natalie,Charlie , Percy, and TJ. You will talk to each of your people and make mental minutes of their personalities. I will be doing the same. Also try to get a strand of their hair. Just Natalie, Percy, and TJ's. Charlie and Natalie are related so her hair will count for all four of them. It will be easier to get a strand of her hair since it's blue. Or red. Or whatever color. After we collect all 5 strands, we will go to the Florida loop entrance and make our way to Miss Peregrine and she or any other ymbryne will test it and we will know everything about them, more importantly their ancestors. Is the plan clear?"

"Yes, Millard, the plan is clear." I said.

"Okay good." He said as we walked up to the theater. We immediately spotted the crowd of eight sitting and waiting, except for two who were fighting.
