Last time
Mirabel said as she kept eating hoping that the conversation was over and it almost was with everybody in there own head, that is until Dolores decided to speak*
Dolores:your leaving something out
Now
Mirabel squeeled as Dolores had a small smirk on her face picking at her food*
Mirabel:w...well I uh... might've started things out with...pretending the food i made came from you mami. Father Alves caught me and asked why I lied
Agustin:why did you lie? I didn't raise you to lie
Mirabel"you didn't raise me at all Casita did more of a job then you"
Mirabel thought before that thought was smashed to the back of her head*
Mirabel:because I thought they wanted mamis magical food, boy was I wrong. Father alves didn't care who made the food he just wanted more hands to make the food, he didn't realize you were so busy that you couldn't do it. Pretty sure he asked for your forgiveness
Julieta:he did? When?
Mirabel shrugged not knowing since well she wasn't there for it. Julieta looked down at her food in thought*
Julieta"god what else did I forget this year?"
Mirabel:a..anyway after that, I uh help clean a house some of the kids my age threw eggs for fun and then I came back home
Felix saw Camilo lip twitch he was suppressing a small smirk. Felix kept his mouth shut sadly for camilo, feliz wasn't the only one who saw it*
Alma: something you would like to say Camilo?
Camilo:what me? No no of course not!
Dolores:he did it with some friends of his
Camilo:snitch!
Dolores shrugged, alma glanced at Dolores with mixed feelings*
Alma"I didn't even ask her and she still told me, why did she do that?"
Alma thought, she was starting to get frustrated with herself she felt as if the pieces were all there but she couldn't put them all together right. She shook her head and looked at Camilo frowning at the younger boy. Camilo shifted in his seat at her gaze*
Camilo:she started it the owner of the house is always so mean to everyone
Mirabel:now that's just not true Mrs. Rodriguez is a lovely woman, she's 85 Camilo, what would she have done if people didn't come to clean her house for her? And she's mean only to you and your friends since you walked all over her flower bed and left running without even apologizing
Mirabel said matter of factly, alma gave a small smile to Mirabel for her honesty, then went back to frowning at Camilo*
Alma:after dinner you will be in charge with cleaning every dish, utensils pots and pan your aunty Julieta used to make dinner after that you will go to your room and give me the names of those friends of yours. Tomorrow you'll go to serñora Rodríguez home with your friends and apologize to that poor woman. Isabela go with him and makes sure he does that and offer her to make a new flowerbed
Isabela:yes abuela i would love to
Mirabel:um...abuela? That's kinda not needed the flowers bed I mean, the apology is completely needed. But the community already made her a new flowerbed
Alma:they did?
Alma said her attention back on Mirabel much to isabela's annoyance*
Mirabel: of course, when I told some people what happened more specifically the flower shop we all came together and made her a new one.
Alma:you organized that?
Mirabel:w...w... well I wouldn't say organized I just told a few peoples what happened, serñora Rodríguez was very happy though that bed means a lot to her since her late husband made her that before he passed. I just... couldn't let her live without that, since it kinda reminded me how abuelo left the candle for you
Mirabel muttered and went back to eating wanting to go to the nursery as fast as possible completely out of her element having everyone look at her. Alma eyes couldn't be wider if she tried seeing Mirabel, she got up and walked up to her, Mirabel looked up just in time to see something she and everyone in the table hasn't seeing since before her ceremony, alma kneeled down and kissed Mirabel's forehead giving her a soft smile*
Alma:I'm very proud of you Mirabel...
It took a second for what alma just did to reach everyone's brain when it did they still didn't believe it. Least of all Mirabel herself, her eyes looked as if they were about to leave her body, her lip quivered a little as she looked back at her food not Knowing what to say or do anymore her mind was on autopilot*
Mirabel:t..thanks abuela...
Mirabel said softly, alma turned around and walked to her chair, when she wasn't looking Mirabel cleaned the tear that managed to escape her eye socket. After that no one could say anything, too shocked to even speak, so they just ate in peaceful...well in shocked silenced. Once everyone was done and Camilo grabbed all the plates, Mirabel was the first to walk to her room in the nursery, with the other kids joining her going to there room, the adults were about to join them in that action*
Alma:stay a moment I need to talk with the 4 of you, Julieta could you make us some tea? Pepa is gonna need it for this conversation
Julieta nodded and left, Pepa looked at her mother confused*
Pepa:mama what's going on are you ok?
Alma:I'm... conflicted but I'm fine, we'll discuss what we need to discuss after Julieta comes back
Meanwhile with Mirabel
We see her on the bed that's 2 sizes too small for her anymore staring up at the ceiling, her hand on her forehead where alma kissed her. Her mind still processing just what the hell happened on dinner a few moments before, she was taken out of her thoughts when the door opened she looked and held a soft smile on her face as it was antonio with his jaguar parce*
Mirabel:hey Toñito what's wrong buddy?
Antonio:i got lonely in my room can I sleep with you?
Mirabel bit her lip, she wanted to say yes she really did, but she knows Alma won't like it. She looked at Antonio and his big puppy eyes and sighed*
Mirabel:just make sure your out of here before abuela sees you, you know how she is
Antonio smiled brightly and snuggled next to Mirabel, Mirabel looked at parce who was looking at them. She didn't need Antonio's gift to know what he wanted, so she petted the bed*
Mirabel:come on you too
Parce gave a slow blink to Mirabel and hoped on top of them both it was cramped and snug for the 3 of them but they made it work as they fell asleep*
Back down
Camilo was busy with the dishes so he couldn't hear even if he wanted do and he did want to. Julieta returned with the tea, she placed one of each of the other adults and herself before she sat down. Alma grabbed her drink and drank it*
Alma: it's...been brought in to my attention that the villagers of the encanto has...ranked us on who they like the most where you all landed is not important so pepa don't even ask i dont need you and Julieta arguing on who's higher
Pepa huffed with her arms crossed indignant that he mother had that little faith in her*
Pepa/Julieta"I know I'm higher then her anyways"
Alma:what matters the most and the reasons why I asked you all to stay is on who's number one and who's number 11 aka the last Mirabel was number 1 and...and Dolores was on last place
It took a few moments till the information reached them, Julieta had a small smile that her daughter was at least appreciated outside Casita. Pepa on the other hand she was drinking her tea, her hand firmly on her cup a little more pressure and she would break it. Felix started rubbing pepa's shoulders to help calm her down. Alma shad to bit her tongue not to tell Pepa to control herself as she almost did*
Pepa:there hating her for something she cannot control how is that fair!?
Agustin:how was it fair for your brother since that's basically the same thing
In the walls Bruno smiled softly Agustin was always a good man that defended him. Pepa scowled looking at Agustin who gave her an glare of the same size*
Pepa:that is completely different...
Agustin:your right, Antonio and Camilo don't blame Dolores for her gift like you and your wedding
Alma;enough both of you, Pepa control yourself and accept that he's right
For a what must be a 4th time tonight the adults were shocked at alma and her admission*
Alma:yes. I... I'll completely take the blame for this one, since I am to blame for them hating her so much and...and I was to blame for Bruno leaving I didn't protect him as I should've
Alma said with a scowl on her face it takes a lot for alma to admit her faults, not wanting another one of her family to leave is a lime alma doesn't want to cross again. In the walls Bruno was completely taken back by her mother's saying that like Mirabel he didn't know how to react*
Julieta:then...then how do you plan to fix this problem? You must have a way to make people have a change of heart over Dolores
Alma:I do. I also expect the 4 of you to start screaming at me so please control your emotions I'll hear your complaints and listen do what you have to say but I will not tolerate screams at my face am I understood?
The 4 nodded, alma sighed looking at the ground before he looked back up at her children her eyes hard and cold since it what was called for*
Alma:I want Dolores and Mirabel to marry
