Diego's POV
I Was In The Middle Of Fighting Someone That Killed My Friend In His Apartment When Suddenly, We Trip On His Body And Break Through The Window And Start Falling As We Continue Punching Each Other As The Fight Stopped And We Both Freeze.
"Yup, That's Me, Diego Madrigal, Part Of The Amazing Madrigals, As You Can See, I'm Fighting Someone And Suddenly Started Falling To My Death, You're Probably Wondering How I Got Into This Situation, Well, It Starts At The Beginning, The Very Beginning," I Explain Off-Screen.
The Screen Shows My Mama, Julieta Madrigal Holding Me At Birth In Her Arms As I Say Off-Screen, "No, Not At That Beginning, This Beginning."
FIVE YEARS LATER
Five-Year-Old Me Was Jumping For Joy In The Nursery, Tonight Was The Night, I Was Getting My Gift Today, Needless To Say, I Was Excited As My Abuela Alma Walked In And Said, "Alright, Nino, Tranquilos, Por Favor."
I Chilled Out And Sat On My Bed Next To Abuela And Asked, "Abuela, What Will My Gift Be? Will I Be Able To Heal Like Mama? Control The Weather Like Tia? Will I Get Something New? Like Being Fast Or Reading People's Minds?"
Abuela Chuckled And Said, "You Remind Me Of Your Mama At Her Gift Ceremony."
"Mama's Quiet, You're Thinking Of Tia," I Reply.
Abuela Patted My Head And Said, "You're Probably Right, But It's Not A Bad Thing, It's Okay...To Be Excited For Your New Gift."
"New Gift! New Gift! New Gift!" I Chanted.
Casita Suddenly Bounced A Clock Over Towards The Two Of Them, Indicating Them It Was Almost Time For The Ceremony To Start.
"Sí, Sí, Casita, We're Going," Abuela Said As She And I Start Moving Off The Nursery Bed.
"Now, Diego, I Don't Know What Your Gift Will Be, But What I Do Know Is That Is That You Will Receive A Gift, Just As Special As You, And It Will Make Your Family Proud," Abuela Explained.
"It Will Make My Family Proud," It Echoed Through My Head.
With That Mantra In My Head, I Make My Way To My Door, A Door That Would Change My Life Forever, And That's Where My Journey Begun.
