Mirabel twirled on her feet before pointing down at Casita.
"Drawers!" The magical house rumbled in compliance as the drawers slid out and back in again.
"Floors!" The teenager smiled widely as the floors shook beneath her causing her to stumble. "Doors!" She sang and the doors in the house slammed open before shutting once more. "Lets go!" Mirabel giggled as she slid down the steps.
"This is our home! We've got every generation!" The female sang as she bent down next to the children. "So full of music! A rhythm of its own design." She booped the red heads nose before sliding into the village square. "This is my family! A perfect constellation!" Her hands reached for the sky before she took away the cup of coffee in the little boys hand.
"So many stars and everybody gets to shine!"
"Out of the way!"
Right before the coffee child almost gets hit by a carriage Mirabel picks him up twirling him around before putting him back on his feet. "Whoa!"
"But let's be clear, Abuela runs this show, whoa! She led us here so many years ago, whoa
And every year our family blessings grow! There's just a lot you've simply got to know, so-"
"Welcome to the Family Madrigal" Cousin Dolores sing as she walks past smiling.
"The home of the Family Madrigal" Mirabel continues laughing fondly.
"We're on our way" Cousin Camilo chuckles as he nudges his twin sister, Valentina also known as (only known to him) 'Valentine'. "Where all the people are fantastical and magical" Mirabel yells to the sky. "I'm part of the Family Madrigal" Valentina sings having a fond smile on her face. "Oh my gosh, it's them!" A little boy exclaims holding his hands to his face.
"What are the gifts?" A brother asks his younger sister. "I can't remember all the gifts!" The sister replies pulling her hair out frantically. "But I don't know who is who!" Coffee boy yells to the redhead.
"Alright, Relax, relax." Mirabel chuckled.
"It is physically impossible to relax!" Coffee boy screamed. "Tell us everything! What are your powers?" The sister asked. "Just tell us what everyone can do!" The coffee boy begged taking a sip of his drink. Mirabel eyes widened, she was sure she took that drink a minute ago. "And that's why coffee is for grownups!" The teens hand quickly snatched the cup throwing it behind her.
"My tía Pepa" The woman pointed at the redhead grown adult who was twirling around Valentina who rolled her eyes affectionately as Camilo tried not to laugh. "Her mood affects the weather, When she's unhappy, Well, the temperature gets weird" Mirabel shrugged her shoulders before pointing to a man painted on a wall that pictured her entire family.
"My tío Bruno-"
Both Camilo and Valentina stopped quickly.
"We don't talk about Bruno!" They yelled along with the village. "Valentina says he saw the future, Camilo says one day he disappeared" Her hands cupped around her mouth as she whispered to the little children who were now pointing at a female cooking. "Oh! And that's my mom Julieta, here's her deal, whoa!" She stumbled over her words as she tripped.
"The truth is, she can heal you with a meal, whoa! Her recipes are remedies for real. If you're impressed, imagine how I feel, Mom!" The older woman kissed her daughters cheek before ruffling her hair.
"Love you, amor."
"Welcome to the Family Madrigal" Camilo howled as he dodged a stick on fire from Valentina. "The home of the Family Madrigal" Mirabel harmonized feeling amazing as her twin cousins hugged each other sideways.
"Hey! Coming through!" Luisa yelled causing the twins to disperse.
"I know it sounds a bit fantastical and magical! But I'm part of the Family Madrigal. Two guys fell in love with Family Madrigal. And now they're part of the Family Madrigal!" Maribel smiled as her two.. great.. uncles?
Shaking off the confused but normal state she returned to singing happily "So yeah, Tío Félix married Pepa. And my dad married Julieta! That's how Abuela became an Abuela Madrigal "
Valentina laughed quietly as Camilo twirled her around causing her dress to spin "We swear to always. Help those around us. And earn the miracle. That somehow found us. The town keeps growing. The world keeps turning" The twins harmonized as she was dipped. "But work and dedication will keep the miracle burning" Camilo's raspy but beautiful voice had the women in the village swooning as Valentina gagged.
"And each new generation must keep the miracle burning" Valentina whispered as she used her power of fire to keep the magic flame aglow.
"Wait, who's a sister and who's a cousin?" The brother whispered. "There's so many people!" Coffee boy exclaimed. "How do you keep them all straight?" The sister asked genuinely curious as her doe eyes peered up at the Madrigal.
"Okay, okay, okay, okay" She laughed. "So many kids in our house. So, let's turn the sound up, you know why? I think it's time for a grandkid round up!" Mirabel yelled knowing that her family would hear her. "GRANDKID ROUND UP!" The younger Madrigals yelled back into the air. "Cousin Dolores can hear a pin drop from thousands miles of- a-way! Her younger siblings, twins! Camilo shape-shifts, make sure he isn't your amor-a! Valentina, the fire! She'll warm your hearts but you better not cross her!"
"Antonio gets his gift today!" The twins shouted in sync.
"My older sisters. Isabela and Luisa. One strong, one graceful. Perfect in every way, Isabella grows a flower, the town goes wild.." The second to youngest Madrigal growled under her breath as a tulip crown was thrown on all her cousins. "She's a perfect golden child!" She mocked.
"LUISA! LUSIA! LUISA!"
And with that. Mirabel Madrigal perked up rather quickly.
"And Luisa's super strong. The beauty and the brawn do no wrong That's life in the Family Madrigal. Now you know the Family Madrigal.. Where all the people are fantastical and magical.." She sang sadly as she began walking back to Casita.
"That's who we are in the Family Madrigal, adios!" As she waved goobye, the children grabbed her dresses hem.
"But what's your gift?"
Isabella walking by, scoffed.
"Well, I gotta go, the life of a Madrigal! But now you all know the Family Madrigal.. I never meant this to get autobiographical.. So just to review the Family Madrigal
Let's go! It starts with Abuela! And then Tía Pepa, she handles the weather-"
"But what about Mirabel?" They begged.
"My mom Julieta can make you feel better with just one arepa-"
"But what about Mirabel?"
"My dad Agustín, well- He's accident-prone but he means well." Maribel sighed thinking about every accident.
"But what about Mirabel?"
"Hey, you said you wanna know what everyone does! I got sisters and cousins and-"
"Mirabel!"
"My primo Camilo won't stop until he makes you smile today, watch out for his twin, Valentina she may be blind but she is ready! My cousin Dolores can hear this whole chorus a mile away" She worried as she started to run.
"Mirabel!" The kids ran after her.
"Look, it's Mister Mariano, hey! You can marry my sister if you wanna but-"
"Mirabel!"
"Between you and me, she's kind of a prima donna" Maribel shrugged.
"Yo, I've said too much and thank you but I really gotta go-"
"Mirabel!"
"My family's amazing"
"Mirabel!"
"And I'm in my family, so-"
"Mirabel!"
"Well-"
"Mirabel!"
