Jesse waited until everyone had gone to sleep before creeping out of his
room. He slipped out of the house.
He found Winne's bedroom window and knocked on it.
She came to the window yawning.
"Yes?" she asked. "Oh, hi Jesse!" He pulled her out of the window, and carried her down, and kneeled before her.
"Winnie, when a man loves a woman he pledges it to her by asking her a question. I'd like to ask you right now. Will you marry me?"
Winnie gasped, and gave him a huge hug. "Of course! Nothing would make me happier!"
He gave a large grin. "We'd better tell them to make it a double wedding, then."
Winnie yawned again. "Maybe in the morning."
"That sounds good," said Jesse.
`*`*`*`
The wedding took place the next month. It would have been sooner if the people in question had any say.
"You're immortal!" cried Mae. "What's the big rush? You should have a wedding you can remember!"
And so, the Tuck house was empty a month later save two people.
"Well, Tuck," said Mae, "I hope everyone is happy with this whole eternity thing."
"I think we're gonna need a bigger house," said Tuck.
"Jesse and Miles have two hands," she pointed out. "They can build their own."
"This is the twenty first century, they can hire someone to build their own."
"Which is exactly why I love modern times," sighed Mae.
"But they need to get money for it with jobs. They're hard to come across nowadays."
"Which is exactly why I hate modern times," groaned Mae.

Jesse and Winnie went backpacking in Europe.
They were with a friendly group, and there was an older couple in it that they had made friends with.
"You young'ins are in too good of shape for us," said Earl (one of the two), "but we've always wanted to do this."
"Yes," agreed Greta (the other), "we're finally here and living our dream. Did you say you two were newlyweds?"
"Yep," replied Jesse, "this is our honeymoon."
"Aren't you a little young to be getting married?" asked Earl.
"Well," said Winnie, "I'm twenty three and Jesse's twenty four." They didn't hear the, "Plus a bit more," that she muttered.
When they went to sleep that night Jesse said, "It's weird having people we're older than call us young-ins."
"Yes," agreed Winnie, "it is." She was deep in thought.
"Winnie, what's wrong?" asked Jesse.
"We're going to look younger than them for all of eternity, but I can't help but wonder, what if we could change it?"
"Honey, we've been over this already, you can't change it. We've tried. Now, go to sleep so you're rested for tomorrow. Goodnight"
"Goodnight," Winnie replied. After he was asleep she said, "Maybe you haven't tried hard enough."
