Hey! This is my first Encanto fic. I hope you like it. This part is just the beginning.

Please rate and review. Thanks.


Mirabel was trudging towards the sitting room, trying not to drop the enormous pile of boardgames she was carrying. The Madrigals hadn't had a proper family gamenight since Tiò Bruno had left. Now that he had returned, Mirabel was extremely excited to restart their family tradition.

Through the boardgames, she glimpsed Tiò Bruno walking towards his room and approached him.

"Hola Tiò Bruno! Where are you going? it's family gamenight remember," she said excitedly, slightly disappointed that he didn't return the excitement.

"I don't know about that Mira..." he responded, scratching the back of his head.

"What do you mean?" she asked, putting the boardgames on a nearby table because they were getting heavy.

"I'm not that good with gamenights. I'm not a big fan of competition," he told Mirabel, hoping that getting out of the gamenight would be that easy.

Unfortunately, with Mirabel nothing came that easily.

"It's not all about the competition Tiò. it's about spending time with family and making the most of the time we have together," she said trying to convince him.

Bruno glanced at the pile of boardgames and sighed.

"It won't get competitive right?" he asked.

"Not at all. I promise," she said. Then she grabbed the boardgames and forced Bruno into the sitting room.


The whole Madrigal family was waiting for them in the sitting room. Mirabel and Bruno entered and she put the boardgames on the table. Bruno sat next to Julieta on the sofa and Mirabel sat next to him and Louisa.

Mirabel was just about to open her mouth when...

"Welcome welcome Familia Madrigal!" Camilo said with the most dramatic tone he could muster. He stood up. "After 10 years of no gamenights, I present to you The Madrigal Family gamenight back and better than ever!"

"Are you done?" Mirabel asked playfully.

"Not yet." he said. "I hereby start The Madrigal Family gamenight!" Then he blew a foghorn he had hidden in his poncho.

"Camilo!!!" Dolores yelled from the other side of the couch, clutching her ears.

"Oops sorry. Forgot." he said sheepishly as he sat back down.

"Now that that's over. Let's get this gamenight started!" Mirabel said.

"The teams for tonight are..." Julieta said as she pulled out names from a bag.

"Luisa, Camilo, Felix and Abuela."

"Also known as the winning team!" Camilo yelled. He high-fived Luisa and slightly yelped when he felt his hand crack.

Julieta continued. "Antonio, Pepa, Agustin and Isabela"

"And finally Bruno, Dolores, Mirabel and Mariano."

Mariano, who was standing next to Dolores, looked up from his poetry book and smiled. "Let's win this mi amor," he said as he kissed Dolores. Camilo silently barfed and Isabela groaned.

Everybody gathered into their respective teams.

"I'll keep the scores," Julieta said. "So which game is up first?"

"Charades," Mirabel said smiling at Tiò Bruno who smiled back uneasily.


Who do you think will win? Who are you rooting for?
