Okay, chapter time!


On the Plane

Now that they're finally on the plane, they think that they're finally gonna get to relax a bit.

For some people, that wish comes true.

For others... it doesn't.

Isabela is one of them unfortunate folks.

They didn't manage to all get seats next to each other.

They're all in the same area, but there are a few strangers mixed in with the family.

Isabela ended up next to a super annoying kid and his mom.

She wants to strangle the kid with her vines, to prevent any air getting into his lungs, which will prevent him for shouting more.

Mirabel has to stand up in her seat in front of Isa to stop her.

Pepa is super afraid of planes and flying.

It's ironic, seeing as her room in Casita's got loads of clouds for her to float on.

She thinks it's the fact that she's stuck in a metal tube that freaks her out.

Félix has to constantly calm her down. Otherwise the plane would go down in a thunderstorm.

Pepa's also got some pills to help.

After a while she's taken too many, and she passes out.

Speaking of pills, Antonio brought his bugs on the plane.

No, those are not connected in any way, but I needed a segway.

The little critters explore, which the passengers on the plane ain't fans of.

They're not a fan of Bruno's rats either.

Bruno bought an extra ticket for the rats, so they could have their own seat.

A man was going to sit in the remaining seat in that row, but he kept moving.

The children on the row behind him like it though.

This is because he puts on rat telenovelas for them.

They're also entertained by Bruno's fascination from the tray tables.

He's never been on a plane before.

One person who actually does relax now is Julieta.

She's fast asleep in her seat.

Agustín in the seat next to her is not.

He's afraid of heights, but got a window seat.

He keeps switching between covering the window and looking out it.

Covering it makes him motion sick, but looking out makes him... also motion sick.

Behind her parents, Luisa's watching Five Feet Apart and crying.

Antonio's trying to cheer her up.

It's not helping that Abuela's scolding a flight attendant for one reason or another.

Someone else who's about to get scolded is Camilo.

He and Dolores ended up sitting together, and they started bonding.

Dolores tells Camilo all the hot plane gossip.

Tea session.

Then Dolores dares Camilo to shapeshift into a flight attendant to steal snacks.

He does.

He gets caught.

Félix can ALWAYS tell when it's his son.

After yelling at the flight attendant, Abuela notices that the passenger next to her reminds her of Pedro.

The poor guy gets to hear a million stories about the guy he apparently looks like, but he's kind enough to listen.

An hour or so into the flight, Camilo goes to the bathroom.

But then.

Goddamn door.

It gets jammed and won't open.

No matter how hard he pushes, it's stuck.

He starts shouting for Dolores, knowing that she'll hear him.

She does her him.

Does that mean that she will help him?

No, it doesn't.

She hears him and is like "lol I'ma not help him"

Instead of helping her poor, trapped brother, she keeps reading her magazine in peace.

Camilo gets his phone up and calls the first person on his calls list.

That happens to be Abuela.

He's like "Help me please, I'm stuck"

Abuela ignores him and keeps talking to the strangers.

Camilo's just frustrated at first, impatiently telling Abuela to come get him out.

Then, in a split second, it goes from that to "AH FUCK NO, HEEEEEEEELP, ABUELA, THERE'S A SPIDER!"

Camilo is quite terrified of spiders.

He leaps onto the toilet lid and retreats into the corner, pressing his back against the wall to get as far away from the spider as possible.

It also appears as if he's trying to see if he has another gift that is killing spiders by staring at them intensively enough.

He does not have that gift.

His panicking mind starts spitting out ideas.

"Perhaps if I turn into Antonio, it will listen to me."

It doesn't.

Abuela's no help, so Camilo hangs up on her and calls Luisa's phone to talk to Antonio, who's next to her and Mirabel.

Finally someone comes to the rescue.

The problem is Antonio has no idea what to do.

He just kinda... stands outside the bathroom.

Meanwhile Félix finally calms Pepa down enough, just in time for her to notice that Camlo and Antonio are gone.

New panic attack instantly woot woot!

The pilot announces "I regret to inform you that it appears we're headed in for more turbulence"

Félix is like "NO! I GOT THIS!"

And Pepa's just shouting "WHERE ARE MY SONS?!" over and over.

Luisa tries to help.

"Antonio's right here- oh shit, he's gone"

Dolores has been quietly zoned out this whole time.

When Pepa starts screaming, she zones back in and is quite obviously confused.

At least until she can make out the words "WHERE ARE MY SONS?" from Pepa's incoherent yelling.

Dolores quickly remembers that she ignored Camilo's plead for help, and now that she's listening again, she can hear him shouting to Antonio about a spider.

Seeing how Pepa's panicking, Camilo is too, Antonio's clueless and the whole family is chaos, she kinda regrets not helping her brother.

She informs her mother about the situation.

Pepa pushes herself past a bunch of people and flight attendants to get to the bathroom.

Antonio's still outside wondering what to do.

Camilo's gone dead silent in there, still staring at the spider.

Pepa's like "What's happening here?"

Camilo bursts out "MOM HELP, YOU GOTTA HELP ME, THERE'S A SPIDER IN HERE"

Pepa is his designated spider killer.

Without a second thought, she zaps the door down with lightning.

Camilo runs out, almost getting hit by another strike of lightning, that instead shatters the sink.

One of the flight attendants goes "If it wasn't illegal, I would push you out of the plane myself."

The bathroom door is officially broken, which means no one on the plane can use the bathroom in peace.

Every passenger has now aquired a grudge against Pepa and Camilo.

This shows in different ways.

Like when Pepa asks an attendant for a glass of water with ice, and he returns with a glass with one small ice cube in it.

One nice flight attendant brings her juice instead.

On the topic of asking flight attendants stuff, Mirabel is an attendants nightmare.

Or at least one kind of a nightmare.

She's not the type who yells at them for no reason.

She's the type who asks for stuff every five minutes, so they can't get a break. They get very tired of her.

Especially since she also constantly asks for nuts and dried fruit for Luisa.

In other news, Isabela's kind of started making friends with the annoying kid.

She makes him excited and happy by making flowers.

Luisa, Antonio and Mirabel look at clouds and make out shapes.

Félix, who's drunk like five cups of coffee, was energized for a while, but has now completely decked.

Julieta and Agustín are also taking it easy.

They're watching The Lion King and having a nice moment.

Meanwhile Camilo's hatched another master plan.

He shapeshifts into an adult, and is just about to order alcohol when Pepa catches him.

He's now grounded to his seat and is not allowed to move or ask for stuff from the flight attendants anymore.

Now he has nothing to do but frown and cross his arms in a demonstrative manner.

Mirabel teases him.

When she's not busy teasing him or getting stuff from the cart, she's embroidering.

Of course.

She brought her entire embroidery kit.

She's doing good for herself.

Bruno is not doing as well at the moment.

A flight attendant approached him like "Would you like some wine, sir?"

Probably because Julieta ordered some, and she assumed her brother would like some too.

Bruno's mind shuts down and won't let him say no, so he goes "Yeah"

"Lovely. Would you like Pinot Noir or Chardonnay?"

Bruno's mind goes out of order completely.

Social stuff isn't his thing.

"Pinotnay"

The attendant interprets his social confusion as him already beign too drunk.

He gets no wine.

So it all worked out in the end.

Luisa brought the entire Harry Potter series.

Through some damn fast reading skills, she finishes them all before landing.

What a legend.

A disturbing development has happened by Camilo and Dolores.

A gross monster behind them uses their arm rest as a foot rest.

Disgusting.

Camilo saves the day by turning into a foot-fetish looking guy and looking back at the foot dude.

Foot dude is scared and requests to switch seats.

It's time to land!

Pepa wakes up from her little drugged nap.

She's a mess.

If the plane doesn't land quickly, it might go down anyway.

Not even Camilo can calm her down.

Dolores is also having a hard time.

The noise on this plane is unbelievable.

She squeezes her ears shut, and has to restrain herself from crying, because it hurts so much.

Antonio hugs Mirabel to tight she can't move.

The annoying kid Isabela kind of made friends with returns to being a brat and throws a tantrum.

Isabela regrets all her decisions.

Then he spills coffee all over her.

She's mad.

Real mad.

And real mad Isabela = Flower punch in the face.

Julieta is pretty much the only calm one.

Agustín holds onto his seat super hard with one hand.

The other hand squeezes Julieta's hand to death.

When the plane lands, he claps.

Mirabel is like "Dad. Stop."

They get off the plane, and Antonio's like "Look at this!"

He shows them all a picture of him with the captain in the cockpit.

Turns out, while everyone was distracted by their own shit, Antonio asked a flight attendant if he could take a photo with the captain.

He was too cute for her to say no.

When they're gonna get their bags from the luggage carousel, Camilo does the only logical thing, which is to jump onto the conveyor belt.

A thunder cloud of Pepa's forces him down.

Agustín accidentally grabs the wrong luggage.

He doesn't even notice this until Isabela's like "Papá, can I have my fifth scarf? I put it in your bag."

He starts opening the bag when he sees a nametag with the name "Sophie Walker"

They have to rush back to the luggage carousel and switch bags with one very confused Sophie Walker.

But now they're on the way out, finally.

Nevermind.

Antonio suddenly shouts "SIMBA'S GONE!"

Simba's a stuffed lion of his, that he's now lost at the luggage carousel.

Everyone agrees that they are not running all that way again.

Rats to the rescue.

They run to the carousel and back, and retrieve Antonio's toy.

Many many people are scared on the way...
