it was 1915 when Hector sang Proud Corazon to Imelda and won her heart, and it'd be another 3 months before Miguel would sing it, for it was February, and deep in the big city in the Land of the Dead stood a great big mansion, home to many a different skeleton, and one of these skeletons was Hector Rivera. After the incident with Dela Cruz, his home was decided by officials to home the near forgotten, along with most of his offerings while shantytown was slowly being restored. Hector was granted the best room along with the best offerings, but the offerings he refused.

"The food is for the hungry." He would say smiling.

However Hector was still extremely distraught, Imelda though she accepted him as family, still had yet to call him husband, despite the constant reminders by Hector and the rest of the familia as to what she said the night of Ernesto's confrontation

"You said 'Love Of Your Liiiiife!'" Her brothers would especially taunt.

So even though Hector was with his makeshift family, and always welcome at the Rivera house, he was still an outsider, but hopefully with the approach of Valentine's day, he had a shot.

"Hey! Hombre!" Said a hoarse voice.

There was a slow *clunk* along with an even slower footstep as a stout man made his way to Hector from across the room.

"Nice place you live here now Hector." The man said making his way towards him putting most of his weight on a cane.

Hector gave a slight squint.

"Diaz?" Hector said surprised. "I was afraid you were forgotten!"

"You wish! !ou're lucky i never found you after you died, i was never in shanty town, pictures may have been expensive then, but my stories were priceless." He said giving a slight chuckle.

"Like the time you almost shot me?" Hector said laughing as he pulled him a seat.

"Be thankful i didn't shoot you!" Called a female voice.

"Imelda?" Hector said slightly surprised.

Out walked a woman you yourself might have mistaken for Imelda, she was tall, had a similar hairstyle, but she wore glasses and had grey hair, her back was also slightly hunched.

"Oh, uh this must be uh? Juanita was it?" Hector said sheepishly waving.

"I'd tell you to run chamaco, but she's blocking the exit!" Diaz said with a smirk.

"I don't believe you and i had the chance to meet? You eh, died birthing Oscar and Felipe?" He said extending a hand to shake hers.

"Yes." Juanita said looking at the hand smiling, before she pulled off her shoe and smacked his skull.

"Well better then i was expecting, she kept talking about kicking you in the pelvic bone!" Diaz said wiping a tear from his eye. "But now onto more important matters."

"Like what?" Hector said confused. "Why are you here?"

"We're here to get you and Imelda back together!" Diaz said.

(Juanita coughed.)

"Okay, I'M here to get you two lovebirds back together!" Diaz said sighing.

"Okay, well how do we plan on getting this done?" Hector said with a mix of skepticism and hope.
