~Third POV~
"So?" Miss Peregrine asked as Derek walked in. "Uh yes. These are for you and will be your best friend tomorrow" Derek said, handing the bag full of objects and the bouquet of flowers. "N-" Miss Peregrine was about to say but was cut off. "Okay great!" Derek interrupted, avoiding what she was about to say.
A few moments past and Jake managed to choke up a few words. "How did you even get that car?" Jake questioned, still in shock. "Ah what a great question Jake, how did you get all on of this stuff when your credit card thingy was here the entire time" Miss Peregrine asked, trying to show her serious face as much as possible for she didn't exactly know if it was called a credit card or not.
"Well obviously I bought the car from where everyone gets their car which is at a vehicle shop and here's how I bought it" Derek answered, showing a few notes in his hand, also handing it to Miss P and straight away she knew something. "Are you telling me that you stole my money." Miss Peregrine stated, it wasn't a question, she already knew the answer of course.
"Mhm" Derek responded, he knew better than to lie so instead of denying it like he would usually do so, he decided to admit it because he knew if he were to lie to her, he would meet his death sentence. Hardly anyone lied to Miss P.
"But that car cost like 3.4 million dollars! How can you even have that much?" Jake exclaimed, overwhelmed but before Miss P could answer, not that she was going to, someone interrupted. "Holy mother of cupcake god!" Emma randomly blurted out. "Did you just say 'Mother of Cupcake gods?" Enoch tried asking due to his laughter. "No more questions children" Miss Peregrine waved her hand dismissively as the children trudged their way into the living room and they waited for a knock to be expected.
"You cannot just do that" Miss Peregrine hissed, keeping her voice down so it was only audible for Derek. "I just did that" Derek mocked in one of his sassy voices. "The last time I checked you had more mon-" Miss Peregrine was about to say but stopped in her sentence after noticing what she was saying. "Well looky here, you looked at how much money I had and I stole yours, seems pretty equal" And a plastic chubby smile was making their way onto his face. "Ugh" Miss Peregrine muttered and walked over to finish off the rest of the preparation for dinner.
Around 20 minutes later the time was now currently 5:30 and an expected knock was audible.
All of the children was brought to their feet as Jake walked over to the door but slightly frowned when he saw his father's car now parked outside beside Derek's new car. "Grandpa and dad is here" Jake exclaimed and he put his hand on the knob, flinging the door open.
Instantly, Franklin and Abe were hit by a heat wave of food. "Miss Peregrine!" At this moment Abe couldn't see Miss Peregrine but he knew she was here as his voice sounded throughout the house until it reached Miss Peregrine's figure. "Abe?" Miss Peregrine mumbled, making her way into the entrance.
"Miss Peregrine!" Abe exclaimed, pushing Jake aside and moved to hug his dear head mistress, the person he had been longing to see. Of course he acknowledged everyone else but right now he needed to see his headmistress, it had been over 50 years or so.
"Woah what's that smell" Franklin dreamily said, opening his eyes and came to shock for about 14 pairs of eyes were on him "And so many people" His eyes darted towards his wife. "I know right! It's amazing how Miss Peregrine can make all of this food. She even does it 3 times a day" Maryann answered, whispering at the end of her sentence so that Franklyn can only hear and his eyes grew wider. "Damn" He mumbled.
After the slight embrace, Abe let go of his fragile headmistress. "Dear Abe, it has been so long since we have all seen you" Miss Peregrine stated, facing the rest of the children. "We agree" Millard said, walking up to the elderly guy and squeezing him, followed by the rest of the children.
"Abraham?" Derek called as his head popped out of the kitchen doorway. "Derek? Is that you?" Abe squinted his eyes, making sure he wasn't dreaming. "Abe!" Derek shouted and full sprinted towards Abe, tightly wrapping his arms around the elderly figure. "What are you doing here?" Abe asked, utterly confused. Derek frowned for he could only stick with the lie he made up towards the children. "Business" He answered.
After making small conversations, Miss Peregrine looked up towards the cloak located somewhere on the wall and right now the time was almost 5:45 which means the oven was almost done with the food. "I better go, food is nearly ready" Miss Peregrine excused herself. "But the ding dong noise hasn't even gone off!" Franklin shouted. "You'll see" Miss Peregrine said, holding three fingers up as if she were counting down to three, which she was and when her final finger went down, the 'ding dong' noise went off, leaving Maryann and Franklin mind blown and she signaled Derek to help her with the rest, leaving everyone else in the room.
"How did she even know?" Maryann questioned, shock overwhelming her, so many things has happened in the past few hours she doesn't even know if she was imagining it all. "Well that's Miss Peregrine for you" Enoch said in his Scottish accent, causing Olive's cheeks to flush red.
"Miss Portman, do you have like a big open wall somewhere in your house?" Horace asked, thinking about where he would present his dreams. "Of course, just need to move a few things and then it should be enough space. Why?" Maryann questioned but only got a shrug in return.
"Why are there so much people here" Franklin whispered as he leaned towards his wife. "Because she looks after them" Maryann responded, stating the obvious.
By the time it was 6pm, Miss Peregrine's voice sounded throughout the house, calling for everyone since dinner was now being served.
It took a few times for everyone to finally get seated for the table wasn't as big as the one back in Miss Peregrine's house but in the end, Claire ended up sitting on Miss Peregrine. Maryann, Franklin, Derek, Abe and Caul ate in the living room, Miss Peregrine offered for herself to do so but Claire was literally clinging onto her. Olive and Emma were beside Miss P. Next to Emma was Fiona and The twins. On Olive's side it was Bronwyn, Millard and Hugh which Enoch was sitting at the other end of the table, facing Miss Peregrine.
Maryann and Franklin had already started eating ages ago for they didn't really know the dinner rules towards Miss Peregrine and they wondered why no one else was eating. "Why isn't anyone eating?" Maryann asked Abe. "Because no one starts until Miss Peregrine says so" Abe answered, loud enough for Franklin to hear as well and the two of them slowly put their forks down and stopped chewing until they were apparently given permission.

~Emma's POV~
"Millard, where are you?" I hissed. We were playing a little game of hide and seek which led Millard to take his clothes off and now we had to find him before Miss Peregrine thinks he's missing.
"He could be anywhere!" Fiona complained, falling backwards onto the sofa.
"RAWR" With that random boisterous noise Bronwyn, Claire, Fiona and Hugh screamed slightly. "I totally got you scared" Millard said with an amount of sass noticeable in his voice and in this moment if we could see him, he was probably smirking.
"Jesus Christ Millard! Where the heck have you been" Enoch flared his hands in the air. "Uh well I thought we were playing hide and seek, if you didn't know the rules you could have said so. Because you were supposed to fine me." Millard said as he snatched his clothing from Horace but wasn't putting them on.
"Uh well you're obviously deaf because we had been screaming your name!" Enoch mocked. "Hey hey calm down! Lets go back to the lounging area before Miss Peregrine notices and also, put your clothes on Millard" I hissed. "It's to hot" Millard argued. "Well that's your choice Millard but I can tell you that Miss Peregrine probably won't cope with your decision" I said and with that, Millard probably rolled his eyes and got his clothes back on as we made our way downstairs just in time since Miss Peregrine called for Millard and Olive to help her with the hot chocolate and the rest of us decided to remain seated in the lounge.
After a while, Olive and Millard came in with our hot chocolate and was soon followed by Miss Peregrine who told Horace to start since the lights were already off.

"Aren't we going to do the reset?" Fiona asked since we still remained seated in our position when we would usually be doing the reset.
"Fi we aren't in the loop, remember?" Hugh said. "It's feel so weird not watching the reset!" Claire exclaimed and got up from where she was sitting and sat next to Miss Peregrine. "Can we show our peculiarity's to Mr and Mrs Portman, Miss Peregrine!" Bronwyn asked as a smile curled onto her face.
