A/n: Hello everyone! I hope y'all are having an amazing week so far! I'll try to make this chapter happier than the last haha. I don't know about y'all but I need to read something fluffy after reading angst and this is hopefully what that's going to be! Also I'd like to thank the people who have reviewed so far. I really appreciate it! Anyways let's get on with the chapter!
Camilo and Mariana go out to see a frantic Pepa pacing and Félix trying to calm her down but obviously failing. Bruno is curled in a corner being sad with his rats, there are cacti and other various plants that Isabela made all over the place, Luisa is crying with Bruno and Isabela in the corner, and Mirabel is trying to help them feel better. Then you've got Augustine being his accident prone self, being covered with bee stings and other various injuries and Julietta making arepas for everyone.
Isabela is the first to notice Mariana and Camilo watching all of them intently. She smiles softly at the two of them and they smile back. Camilo mouths 'Don't tell them I want to see how long it'll take them to notice.' Isabela smiles and winks at them. Another loud crash of thunder booms and Mariana continues to cling onto Camilo while shaking slightly. Julietta and Augustin come in with all the arepas and they see Mariana clinging onto Camilo with a scared look on her face. Both she and Camilo look at them and mouth 'not a word' and they wink and give them a thumbs up. Camilo goes to get them some of the delicious food their tia made. He gives 3 arepas to Mariana and eats the other 3 himself. As they eat the arepas they can feel all the lost energy coming back to them.
After everyone notices Mariana is ok they all run over and give her the biggest hug ever. Bruno takes Camilo aside from everyone else. "I need you to promise me something." Bruno doesn't look the younger boy in front of him in the eyes when he says this and that makes Camilo nervous. "Umm… What is it Tio Bruno?" Camilo looks at his Tio who still looks as calm but uncharacteristically serious as ever. "Promise me you will never let Mari use her power for too long, especially now… Por favor?" (Por favor= Please, though you probably already knew that and I'm just wasting you guy's time) Bruno looks at his nephew and he looks serious to let him know he's serious when he asks this. Camilo gets the same seriousness about him and nods his head. They go back over to the rest of the family and get back in with the hug.
All the people who live in Encanto notice the abrupt change in weather, from hurricane to rainbow. They immediately knew Mariana woke up and they smiled to themselves. "Good thing Mariana woke up, now she can get back to using her power for us." Dead fish girl (I don't know her actual name if she even has one so any time I mention her I'm going to refer to her as 'Dead fish girl') said to the priest. The women ran and burst into Casita. When she ran in she saw the whole family in a group hug. They all look over and frown as they all hover around Mariana protectively. Camilo keeps her in his embrace so he can get her out as quickly as he could. He can see the fear in her eyes (No one likes dead fish girl including me so I'm making her evil lol, well not really evil she's just one of the main antagonists). "Get Mari out of here Camilo…Luisa you go with them…" Bruno whispers just loudly enough for them to hear him and they nod their heads and they run out, Camilo grasping Mariana's hand. Luisa picks both of them up and runs out with them in her arms.
They get to the lake and she puts them down. They all smile at each other. "I hate that woman…" Camilo mumbles and Luisa nods her head. "I hate her too…" Mariana looks confused about why her cousins hate that woman so much. "Why do you guys hate her so much?" Camilo and Luisa look confused and then they realize that she wouldn't remember that Bruno 'killed the woman's fish'. "Basically she claims that Tio Bruno's vision killed her fish and she's basically insane because of it." Camilo explains matter-of-factly. Mariana frowned and she got this angry aura about her and her cousins noticed. "It's ok to be mad but hate her in secret ok?" Luisa says while rubbing her younger cousin's back and she looks up at her and nods with a slight smile.
Back with the rest of the family and we see them trying to get dead fish girl out of Casita. "You aren't welcome here, why are you here?" Mirabel asks while trying to push the woman out of Casita with the help of her Tio Félix (I'm a firm believer in the idea of Mirabel being the next matriarch of the Madrigals). "It's simple, Mariana woke up and the town needs to make good use of her power." She explains while being unfazed by the people pushing her out of their home. Félix and Mirabel manage to get the woman outside of their house. "Casita don't allow her into Encanto ever again." Casita obeys Mirabel and dead fish girl is flung outside of Encanto.
Mariana, Camilo, and Luisa are sitting under a tree just talking about life. Luisa and Camilo are telling Mariana about what all has happened since she died. "Oh wow I've missed out on a lot…" Mariana says with a sad smile. The cousins both put a hand on her shoulders and smile at her. "All that matters is that you're back now!" She smiles back at them. They decide to head back to Casita after talking for a little while longer.
When they walk in Mariana runs over to Bruno and buries her face in his neck with tears brimming her eyes. He hugs her back and smiles softly, rubbing circles into her back. "Papa I'm so sorry… I had no idea you went through so much because of me…" (The people of Encanto loved Mariana to death because her power was so pretty even more so than Isabela so they blamed Bruno for her death. Also I don't know if it was obvious or not but Bruno never left because he wanted to be able to first handedly watch Mari grow up) Bruno frowned at his daughter's statement. "Querida what happened had nothing to do with you… those people were after me you just so happened to be the one that saved my life… I'm just glad to have you back with me…" He said while rubbing her cheek.
The mail carrier came to the door of Casita. "Mail for Pepa, Julietta, and Bruno Madrigal!" The man called out. Pepa came over to grab the letter from him. She opens it and reads it out loud so the whole family can hear it. "Dear Pepa, Julietta, and Bruno, this is your tio Ivan. Me and my granddaughters will be coming to stay with you and your family for a little while. We don't know how long yet though but we will be arriving in about a week. Sincerely Ivan of Arendelle" (I don't know if I spelled that right or not but I tried) All the kids and husbands look at the triplets with confused looks on their faces. "That's mama's brother, he moved to Norway before she and papa had to flee their village but he still visited every once in a while so that's how we still know about him." The kids and husbands nod in understanding. "I guess we should prepare for their arrival since tio Ivan said they'd be here in about a week."
~Time skip to when they all arrived in Encanto~
An old man who looks to be in his early seventies walks up to Casita with 2 girls, one with long white slightly wavy hair and a long flowy white sparkly dress. The other with long slightly wavy red hair in a half up double crown braid and a purple dress with a very regal quality as she is the queen of Arendelle. The first woman looks around 23 and the other looks around 21. The man knocks on the door and Mirabel comes to open it. "Hello sir, what may I help you with?" She asks with a smile on her face. "I'm here to see the Madrigals. Can you tell me where they live please?" He asks politely. Mirabel gets a huge grin on her face. "Mama! Tio Ivan's here!" Julieta comes to the door and smiles. "Hi Tio Ivan! It's been so long! These must be your granddaughters Elsa and Anna!" The 2 sisters smile at the older woman and she smiles back at them happily. "Why don't you 3 come in and get settled! You can get to know the rest of the family!"
Julieta leads them in and immediately goes into the kitchen to make lunch. Ivan goes to talk to Bruno and Pepa, Elsa goes to talk to Isabela (I feel like they would really hit it off ngl), and Anna goes to talk to Luisa and Dolores. Mariana, Mirabel, and Camilo are in town playing with the kids so they don't know that Ivan, Elsa, and Anna showed up.
