Miguel set Héctor's phone on the table, and pressed the live stream button.

"Is it ready?" Héctor asked as the boy walked back to him, and picked up his guitar.

"Yes."

Miguel sat on the stool next to the man, and both of them looked at the camera nervously as they held their guitar tight.

"Hola!" said Héctor, "Welcome to my YouTube channel!" he looked at the boy next to him, "This is my great great-grandson Miguel, and this song we wrote called 'Vida Aventura'.".

It was a middle pace, and hopeful song about the thrilling feeling that exists in both life, and after life even on just an ordinary day.

Héctor did some vlogs, and 'modern music reacts' along with releasing his own new song. He tried inviting his family to join him as the guest on his channel, but the only people that accepted the offer were his Coco, Miguel, and the twins(Both Óscar, Filipe, and Benny, and Manny.).

So he wrote a theme song for the twins called " Double Squad." with both young, and adult twins showed off their dance moves in the music video. Héctor wanted to write another lullaby for his Coco, but people at the market kept calling them kids because of their youthful face, and lively attitude, so they wrote a ballad called " Lively Old".

"Proud Nerds" was written for Victoria, and Rosa, and "Por Nuestro Amor" was for Carmen, Franco, and Julio. He took a class in modern music, and applied what he learned in "Fashionista", his song for Gloria, but still kept some elements of his style too.

He noticed that Elena always listens to 'Soledad y El Mar' by Natalia Lafourcade when they cook, so he contacted the artist, and together they wrote "Comida Familiar". Berto wanted a song to cheer his son in a soccer game, so the whole family helped him with the lyrics, and Héctor worked on the melody, he'll never forget Abel's reaction to the whole family singing " Our Boy!" at the fútbol match.

"Will you write holiday songs for Las Posadas?" Miguel asked as they were working on a chancla.

"Maybe." Héctor answered as he marked the fabric, "I'm still working on the song for your parents, and sister, mijo.".

"You don't have to rush, Papá Héctor." said Luisa.

"Best stuff always came last," Enrique added.

~ Rivera Courtyard, 24 Dec 2018.

Héctor gasped after he opened the box, and screeched at Enrique.

"Oh! OH! DIOS MIO I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!" he squeaked, and pulled a mug with a print of a shoe playing guitar out, "WHERE DID YOU GET IT!?".

"I'm glad you like it, Papá Héctor, I really like the song you wrote for me, and Luisa!"

Elena shook her head as her son hummed the melody of "Amable Amor.", and then looked down at the box on her lap. 'To the strongest granddaughter, ELENAAA!', the note was held on the box by a goofy emoji sticker, she didn't have to guess who it was from.

She ripped the wrap, and opened the box. It was a photo of Elena's selfie with her familia on Héctor's 118th birthday. She smiled, and looked at Héctor as he was handing Imelda a present with his shaking hands.

The oldest matriarch opened the gift, and pulled out a knit blanket. She smiled at her husband, and wrapped it around themselves before giving him a kiss. They are quite a happy couple, if Mamá Imelda didn't stood there with Héctor, there's no way that I'd believe that she married a childish man like him, Elena thought as she looked at the couple again, and then at her family.

Miguel danced around with his new straw hat, and Mamá Coco couldn't stop eating the cookie her Papá made. Gloria tried the new makeup she received, and Berto accidentally knocked the árbol de Navidad down after he tried to play his new soccer ball with his sons. Everyone received a gift, Héctor had indeed showered his familia with love.

"You had a mas raro taste in men, Mamá." Imelda turned to her, "But I can see why it's him.".

Imelda nodded in reply as they watched Héctor hitting piñatas with the kids. Elena remembered how Héctor would always help her with cooking every meal for the family, and tried his best to be there for them. Maybe he wasn't that bad after all, Elena thought, he was just young, and naive like many kids were at his age.

"Why are you guys standing there?" Miguel asked as the adults finally joined the kids in hitting piñatas, "Come join us!".

Elena, and Imelda chuckled at the boy, and pulled out one of their shoes.

~ Store Reception

And 2018 has ended beautifully with fireworks. Imelda hummed happily as she was organizing the shoe orders on the flat devil box that her family called 'iMac'. It's Monday, the day that Héctor usually publishes his new video on YouTube. She wondered what he had in store this week, is it her song? He already wrote new songs for everyone in the family, maybe this time it's hers?

~ Ding Ding ~

Imelda quickly turned to the entrance where a young man had come through. He smiled immediately after he saw her.

"Señora Imelda Rivera!?" the man gasped excitedly.

"Si? How can I help you?".

Héctor entered the reception, made the man gasp even louder, and wider.

"Héctor Rivera!?" the man squealed, "I apologize for unprofessional behavior, but I'm so glad you both are here!" he handed the couple his contact cards with his shaking hand, "I am Diego, a representative from Fox Searchlight Pictures!"

A film company? I guess they want him to write soundtracks for their film, or maybe scores? Imelda thought.

"We want to make your biographical film, so I'm here in the name of the company imploring you for the permission to create the film, and ask if you are interested in playing… yourself?"

Héctor looked at Diego in confusion. It's a really tough question, I don't want to see Héctor reliving his death, but I want to see his side of the story, what really happened during that tour before he died? Imelda thought, Everytime I asked him, he'd always make those mentecato jokes. He never spoke a word about Cruz again after that fateful Día de los Muertos, and everytime his family made fun of Ernesto, or insulting that man, he'll try his best to change the subject.

So there's quite a slim chance that he'd accept the role even if he grants them the permission to make the film, but if he does, then she'll have to join too. She didn't want to be in those telenovelas, but she won't lie, she doesn't want to see someone pretend to be her esposo's wife!

"Why don't we go out for a meal?" Héctor suggested.

Thank you so much for sticking around!

I've explained the characteristics, and the story behind most of Héctor's new songs, but can anyone guess why Julio, Franco, and Carmen shared one song that called 'Por Nuestro Amor', translated to 'For Our Love'?
