Chapter 6: The New Girl

The next day, we see Miguel exploring the entire city and is having conversations with all of the people about why he and his friends came here in the first, but first he told them about their first journey to El Dorado. "We had a great adventure there", said Miguel, "We met some great people who think we're the gods, but we're not." "Well, we believe you", said citizen #6. "You do?", asked Miguel. Suddenly, something hit him on the head and as Miguel looks down, he sees an apple and picks it up before hearing running feet in the bushes. He goes to see who it was and it turns out to be a girl. "Why, hello", said Miguel, "What are you doing in the bushes?" "I was... trying to keep an eye on someone who tries to hurt me." "I'm not going to hurt you", said Miguel, "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Miguel. What's yours?" "Rosie", said Rosie, "I uh..." Then, she smiles at him. "I think you're cute", said Rosie and kisses Miguel in the cheeks, causing him to blush and trip backwards into the ground. "I have to go now", said Rosie, "I'm really sorry about that." "Will I ever see you again?", asked Miguel. "Well, sometime later", said Rosie and runs from Miguel as quickly as she can and Miguel becomes dazed and is now in love with that pretty girl. As he continues to explore Nahuatl, the song "I Want Love" plays on the background.

I want love, but it's impossible
A man like me, so irresponsible
A man like me is dead in places
Other men feel liberated

I can't love, shot full of holes
Don't feel nothing, I just feel cold
Don't feel nothing, just old scars
Toughening up around my heart

But I want love, just a different kind
I want love, won't break me down
Won't brick me up, won't fence me in
I want a love, that don't mean a thing
That's the love I want, I want love

I want love on my own terms
After everything I've ever learned
Me, I carry too much baggage
Oh man I've seen so much traffic

So bring it on, I've been bruised
Don't give me love that's clean and smooth
I'm ready for the rougher stuff
No sweet romance, I've had enough

The song ends and Miguel decides to go back and see how Tulio, Chel, Altivo, and the armadillo are doing. While Altivo is hanging out at the pool, we see Tulio and Chel holding each other. "That party was...", said Chel, but Tulio finished the sentence for her. "Spectacular", said Tulio, "El Dorado sure had the same thing and it was great too despite this city being different. Chel, now that we have the gold, should we take it back with us back to Spain?" "Probably", said Chel. Then, Miguel appears at the top of the palace and the two lovers saw him. "Hey, Miguel", said Tulio, "How's your tour to the city?" "Pretty good", said Miguel and becomes dazed. "What is it?", asked Chel. "Ah, nothing", said Miguel. "Come on, Miguel", said Tulio, "Tell us. We promise we won't tell anyone." "Alright, if that's what you want", said Miguel and tells Tulio and Chel about the girl she met at the market of Nahuatl today. "His name is Rosie", said Miguel, "I didn't know where she came from, but when she looked at me, I felt like... I got carried away from a wind." "Way carried away", said Tulio, "Besides, you might even have a crush on her." "A crush? On her?", asked Miguel, "Don't be silly. I'm not in love with her." "Admit it, Miguel", said Chel, "Because if you do, you might have the chance to marry this "Rosie". Miguel thought they were only doing this just to tease him, but he finally realizes that he really is in love with Rosie. "You're right", said Miguel, "I am in love. Besides, I would talk to her in about... a day or two so I can get to know her better." "You've got it, Miguel", said Tulio and Miguel smiles at him. But Miguel was wondering about something. What if he gets embarassed? Looks like he would have to find out for himself. "You'll have the chance to get your own true love", thought Miguel to himself.

Later that night, we see Miguel sleeping and he dreams of something pleasant. He dreams of being in a beautiful fertile land where he can see the most beautiful flowers he could find. He picks out a rose with a lovely red shade color on it. Suddenly, there came a howling wind and he turns around to see Rosie walking in the field and he run towards her. "Rosie", said Miguel, "What brings you here?" "I hear your senses", said Rosie. "You do?", asked Miguel, "What did the senses say about me?" "That you're the most handsome man in the history in Nahuatl", said Rosie. Miguel smiles and he and Rosie kissed each other in the most beautiful moment of their life ever before the dream comes to an end and we fade to black. Miguel continues to sleep happily the next morning until he wakes up to find that Tulio and Chel are gone. Only him, Altivo and the armadillo. "Hey, guys", said Miguel, "Do you know where the others went?" The horse and the armadillo shook their heads no and Miguel weighs down his head. "You're going to do this, Miguel", said Miguel to himself, "You can do this."

I'll update on wednesday... I hope. Oh, and if some of you are wondering why I used one of the songs from the movie soundtrack, I've edited the song just in case I made a mistake. So, if you understand, tell me what you think of "I Want Love", another song sunged by Elton John himself and I'm sorry for not explaining why I forgot to add that this is also a musical just like the first (which only had one musical number). Please forgive me.
