Luckyduckylulu: Sooo I was wondering, what about a one-shot in between the time Ernesto gets all grumpy frumpy on Miguel when Miguel is like: "Bye bye fake dad" and Ernesto's all like: "Oh no you don't my little rake" and kidnaps him. And the time just before Hector and Co find Ernesto walking out of the closet? Because I am curious, I mean as easy as it would be to kidnap a screaming kid and bring him to a busy town in a busy building past everyone unnoticed, I can't quite picture it: (Of course this is fiction so maybe everyone was distracted by an albino squirrel acrobat who dresses like a clown)

(HAHAHAHAA I'm broken, no disrespect intended, you are a wonderful author and this is a serious request)

Ps: just to be clear the squirrel is not part of the request, just a perfectly normally example that is not owned by anyone and is, therefore, free to use with proper credit, but I don't need proper credit cuz I created it... hehe... I'm done babbling now.

(Chapter 9: Lavender's Blue - Chapter 10: The Sunrise Spectacular)

"You want me to be the bad guy? Fine." Ernesto growled softly, "Now I'm the bad guy,"

Either Miguel didn't hear his former Papa or was just ignoring him, he didn't stop walking until a large hand grabbed his hood.

Was he really getting abducted by the same man twice?

"Let go of me!" Miguel cried out as he tried to pry the large hand from his hood. Ernesto yanked harder causing the boy to fall to the ground and making it easier to drag him around.

The two were almost to the exit when a loud and angry snarl came from the stairs. Both Miguel and Ernesto looked up to see Dante running down the stairs with his teeth bared. The Xolo dog grabbed Miguel by his pant leg and tried to tug him away from the madman.

Ernesto growled and kicked the dog away, hard.

Miguel watched helplessly as Dante skidded across the floor and slammed against the wall. His whine of pain could be heard before the Xolo passed out.

"DANTE!" the boy cried out in concern and desperation.

Once the pair had reached the exit, Ernesto picked Miguel up and held him tightly against his chest. The child struggled more as the man began going down the stairs.

"LET ME GO, PSYCHO!"

De La Cruz gently shushed the child and brought one hand up to his collarbone. Pressing a nerve point in his neck, the man smiled as the child went limp in his arms.

"Congrats, mijo," De La Cruz said darkly and draped Miguel over his shoulder, "You finally get to attend one of my shows."

If there's one thing that a decade of being famous had taught Ernesto, its how to travel through towns without drawing unwanted attention. More specifically, alleyways and backstage doors where no one would be and find the famous musician carrying an unconscious boy in his arms.

With his son draped over his shoulders, De La Cruz quietly snuck into the arena where the Sunrise Spectacular was taking place.

All of the workers and musicians were busy preparing for the show, so they didn't even see Ernesto enter his dressing room with Miguel over his shoulder.

Upon entering the room, Ernesto gently placed Miguel on the ground against the wall. The child abductor then opened a small box in the corner of the room and pulled out a chained handcuff.

Ernesto hated that he had to lock his own son up but if he didn't then Miguel would leave him, Ernesto couldn't let that happen. He worked too hard.

"You never belonged there, mijo," Ernesto whispered as he locked the cuffs around his boys' limp wrists, "That family would have wasted your talent and made you a shoemaker. You were meant for much more than that, you were born for music. I saved you, you belong with me,"

As the man gently stroke his sons face, Miguel began to wake up. The boy pulled away from his touch only to realize the restraints around his wrists.

Miguel struggled to remove the chains to no avail. The boy looked up at his former father with despair, "Why are you doing this? I thought you loved me or was that another lie?!"

"You Left Me No Choice!" Ernesto boomed quickly silencing the boy, "You are all I have Miguel, and you were going to leave me, just like Hector did! How could you do that to your own father?"

"Because you're not my father! You Kidnapped Me!"

"Enough! I will hear no more of these lies!" Ernesto then stood up and grabbed a piece of cloth from his desk. Miguel struggled as hard as he could but he couldn't prevent the gag being tied around his mouth. His chances of escaping were dwindling to nothing.

Just then there was a knock on the dressing room door.

"Senor De La Cruz? You're on in five minutes,"

Miguel tried to cry out for help but his cries were muffled by the gag. Instead, the stagehand only heard Ernesto's reply, "Si, si! I'm on my way!"

Turning back to the boy, Ernesto tried to pat his head but Miguel flinched away. This made the man more upset as he stood up.

"When we get to our new home, we are going to have a serious talk about your behavior, understood?"

Miguel did not answer or even look up as Ernesto closed the door.

Right as Imelda turned the corner.

And you all know what happened next.

;)
