"Oy! Coco!" Julio called.

Across the dozens of people crossing Coco was spotted, walking slowly, for even despite the release of flesh, her bones weren't that sturdy.

"Julio!" She said said giving him a hug and an even bigger kiss.

"Oh so long, you had to keep me waiting 20 years?" He joked kissing her repeatedly.

"Hehe, well i'm glad i was around to tell Mi familia mi papa's stories." She said looking at Imelda who had a big smile on her face.

"You and Miguel surprised us like no one else when Hector stopped glowing." Imelda said pulling Coco into another hug.

"So is what he said true? He met papa here?" Coco questioned. "And where is papa?"

"He's fine, but we'll talk about that later," Imelda said. "If i'm correct he won't be here, but you'll see him soon."

"Yeah, he's not here," Juanita said coming forward with her message. "He said he couldn't come today, but hopefully soon."

"Let me guess, he's out performing music? The mariachi as you would say mama?" Coco joked. "I hope he's once more a part of the family."

"Don't worry, everything's fine with your father, now i would like you to meet your mama Juanita." Imelda stalled bringing Juanita forward.

One week later

"Well it has been a week." Imelda muttered walking down the path that took her to Shanty Town.

It seemed like the entrance was seemingly blocked off. Imelda suspected Hector kept close to the entrance along with the rest of the residence, she made sure to keep Pepita watching from a distance in case anyone tried to gang up on her.

"Hector?!" Imelda called.

Imelda was confused, surely he hadn't left, she was counting on him. After another fifteen minutes she found something that shook her. No Hector, but instead his clothes.

"No, NO! NO! NO!" Imelda cried fearing the worse. "YOU CAN'T BE FORGOTTEN!"

Imelda dove to the ground cradling the clothes, heartbroken.

"I'm sorry," She whispered "El amor de mi vida."

"I-imelda?!" Said a voice behind her.

Imelda turned around and her jaw went slack to see Hector, fully alive, or uh, undead, in a pair of boxers, dripping with water.

"Uh, why are you hugging my clothes?" Hector said confused

Imelda jumped up and basically tackled him grabbing her shoe to beat him.

"YOU STUPIDO IDIOTA!" She cried smacking her shoe on his chest while he tried to defend. "You said you'd remain in Shanty Town! YOU SAID!"

"I went for a swim! I had to keep clean and clear my head!" Hector said defensively trying to block the hits of her shoe.

"I thought you were forgotten! Coco is here, but then i can't find you! I find your clothes! Stupido!" She began muttering tears in her eyes before she hugged Hector.

"I'm sorry, Imelda, i'm so sorry," Hector said fearing he had made even another mistakes. "But i am here now, and you are here."

Imelda let up and when they both were on their feet he gave her a hug.

"I'm going to dress real quick," Hector said grabbing his clothes. "Didn't Juanita tell you i was here?"

"It doesn't matter if the whole world said they saw you, if i can't find you, I find your clothes, and Coco is dead with no one left to remember you, what is my first instinct?" Imelda questioned.

"I know, i'm sorry," He said pulling on his vest. "Do you forgive me?"

Imelda sighed, remember why she was here.

"You waited to see Coco, all for me, i guess i can't say no to that, can i?" Imelda said pulling out the guitar before setting it at his feet. "You know the twins said history was repeating itself, and maybe so, but almost going back to you wasn't the mistake when repeating history."

"What was the mistake? If i might ask to avoid it?" Hector said putting the guitar on his back.

"You and I ever being apart, now lets go see your daughter," Imelda said smiling taking his hand. "And Hector? Make your own choices, you silly mariachi, got it?"

Hector smiled and nodded before pulling out his guitar and strumming it while they walked.

Meanwhile following behind was Diaz and Juanita.

"I don't see why we're here?" Diaz said confused.

"Because you can't play matchmaker, but i can." Juanita said smiling, for it was time to make things perfect.

She pulled out of her pocket a few small stray alebrije that she had trained for this. She whispered to them a few words before letting them go.

The alebrije were to small to be easily seen or heard.

"Oh, um sorry?" Imelda said slightly being bumped into Hector.

"No worries mi amor, i love it when you are close." He said winking which Imelda playfully rolled her eyes at.

Juanita was thankful Hector put away his guitar, so the alebrije could coax his and Imelda's hands together. After a few seconds an alebrije gave a particularly hard bump, causing her to put her hand on Hector's shoulder for support.

"Are you doing this?" Imelda questioned.

"I may do stupid things, but tonight is not one of them." Hector chuckled before putting a hand around her waist.

"Hm." Imelda said still suspicious.

"You look beautiful tonight." He said wiggling his eyebrow which would give her a blush if she had blood to cause a blush.

"You were always such an idiota." Imelda said smiling, leaning in to kiss his cheek.

At this last second, the alebrije bumped her head forward, while the other alebrije turned Hector's cheek so his lips were facing hers when the kiss occurred.

Hector was shocked, as was Imelda, but neither pulled away, and simply chose to deepen the kiss as the alebrije flew back to Juanita who pocketed them.

"Perfect!" She confirmed to Diaz who's jaw had dropped, heavily shocked at how well that went.
