The next morning, all the Madrigals were up and greeted each other, good morning, as they took a seat at the table.

"Good morning everyone, I hope you all sleep well," greeted Alma.

"We're good Abuela," said her grandchildren.

"Sí Mama," replied her children.

"Yes, Alma," said one of her sons-in-law.

"Abuela last night we went over Dolores's dress with the necklace," Mirabel says knowing how excited the old woman was about it.

"It fits perfectly Abuela, Mirabel did a great job," Dolores praised.

"That's wonderful. I'm sure Señora Guzman would love to see it," Alma says to her granddaughter.

"I just hope I didn't ruin things again like last time," Mirabel said with a small smile.

"Oh, mí Vida. That is not true. Last night's interruption was from the magic not you," assured Julieta.

"Yeah, but I was the one that found the room," Mirabel confessed.

"I'm still surprised that so much of their stuff survived," said Camilo.

"It is a magic house," Isa pointed out while eating breakfast.

"Yeah, remember when the magic returned? All our damaged or gone stuff went back to normal," Luisa agreed. "Somewhat."

Swallowing his food Miguel spoke, "But how does the magic work?" asked Miguel sitting between Alma and Bruno.

"Miguel, how much were you told about our family?" Inquired Alma, with a smile since she was most excited about one of her great-grandchildren being here.

"Which one?" Miguel asked since he had a lot of families. "The Madrigals, cariño," Alma clarified.

"I know the story about my Bisabuelo, Pedro Madrigal, and you Bisabuela." He replied, "They said that on the day of Papa Bruno, and his hermanas birth, a civil war started. Bisabuelo tried to buy everyone time to escape but at the cost of his own life and the magic of his love gave life to this house," Miguel said.

"Magic of his love?"

"Tía Angie, says that love is one of the most powerful magic there is," said Miguel and the adults agreed.

"That is true Miguelito," said Alma admiring how he spoke about her Pedro and that the triplets were so honest with him.

"What else did they tell you?" Asked Pepa.

"After the magic house emerged and the mountains formed. The people started to build more homes that would eventually form the town. On the triplets' fifth birthday, each got a gift, and when their children turned five they got gifts too!"

"And do you know what everyone's gifts are Miguel?"

"Um, I know Abeulo can see the future," he turns to Pepa, "Tía Pepa affects the weather, Tía Julieta can make healing food and it's delicious!" He continues to list their powers, "Papa has levitation, Tía Angie has wings on her back, and Tío Iggy summons fire. Isa can control plants, and Luisa is super strong & smart. Dolores has super hearing and is very empathic. Camilo can shapeshift which causes him to eat a lot." the shapeshifter continues to eat his large portion. "Tío Félix and tío Augstín have no magic but are good men who love their families. Mirabel is the next gift giver after Bisabuela which is why she has no powers. And I just learned that Antonio talks to animals, which is an awesome power cause-"

"Wait, what was that?"

"What was what?" asked Miguel.

"What you said about Mirabel,"

"Was it wrong?"

"No, it's just-"

"How did you?"

"Well, they said that since Alma was getting older they figured Casita had selected the next candle holder," the four-year-old explained.

Before anyone could respond to that they were interrupted by the sound of a struggling Zano who was being shoved by Casita.

"Hey! HEY! What the!" shouted Zano.

"Look who finally decided to join us," snickered Mirabel.

"Morning Tío Zano," Miguel greeted the disturbed bed-headed teen.

"Yeah Morning," greeted Zano as he mumbled, "Great, stranded in the middle of nowhere and I'm still being rushed," he fixed his clothes and sat down to eat some food.

"Funny I thought you would have been up earlier," said an amused Isabela.

"Yeah you even said 'First thing tomorrow morning we're leaving," added Mirabel mocking his tone.

"Don't you have a dress to make?" He said before taking a bite.

"Excuse you?" Said Isa glaring. With Luisa looking intimidating.

"Lo Siento, I'm not a morning person unless I have my coffee," he said not intimidated but noticing how protective they are of their sister.

"What's this about leaving?" asked Alma.

The children didn't know how to respond to this so they tried to explain all at one at the same time. But it got more confusing until Mirabel told Abuela about what happened last night.

"You see Abuela when we were going over Dolores' dress design, Zano came to give Luisa her night stuff," explained Mirabel, "And told us that he and Miguel had to leave because their family still doesn't know where they are so-"

"I left them a note," Miguel interrupted.

"A note is not enough Miguel. You still left and you dragged me into this mess. We have to go back," said Zano. "But Abuelo Bruno hasn't given me his answer," Miguel pleaded.

"¿Que respuesta?" asked Alma turning to Bruno who looked pensive. "Miguel wants me to go with them," said Bruno.

"But Tío you just came back," said Isa.

"I know and I have enjoyed these last months with all of you but..."

"You want to be with your whole family," concluded Alma who knows what her son is going through.

"Sí," He said still torn. His mother holds his hand, "The choice is yours Bruñito, but I hope you'll at least look into it before you decide," said Alma.

"I was planning to after breakfast,"

"You are going to do a reading?"

"Can we see?" Asked Miguel curious about his grandfather's visions.

"I don't think that-" both Zano and Bruno said together.

"What if we did it like last time but in your room?"

"Yeah, how about it Tío?" Bruno was nervous his vision wasn't something easy to handle and especially to first timers. Yet as he gazed at Miguel's hopeful face he saw his kids and how they were never afraid. "Okay, but I warn you it can be a bit much for first-timers."

"I have to share a bathroom with my grandfather," stated Zano. "Believe me there's nothing that can scare me."


The family went to Bruno's room to see him perform his reading. The sand started to swirl around in a vortex causing a dome around him. After he was done he held an emerald tablet in his hands.

"So what's it say?" Asked Miguel standing by Bruno's side. "How did you? When did?" Miguel just answered, "I move fast."

"So what's on the tablet tío?" asked his niece.

"Let's see," as he looked down what he saw surprised him. There in his hands was an image of him and his children but he wasn't alone. "I can't believe this."

"What is it?"

"I reunite with my kids," he says looking at the vision.

"So you are going," concluded Alma.

"Yes, but not alone," he replied.

"What do you mean?"

"Mirabel is there, and so are Isa, Luisa, Dolores, Camilo, and Antonio,"

"Why are they?"

"Not just them but all of us," Bruno stated, revealing the tablet with all the Madrigals reunited on it.


After the session, everyone gathered in the foyer to discuss what do to about the vision.

"We all leave the Encantó?" Asked Pepa her brother, while holding her son's hand. "Well not all at once. First, it's me, and the kids," Bruno said showing them the changing tablet. The shifts were not just between two, but three images, "After some time you all join us. Even Mariano."

"You hear that Antonio!" Exclaimed Miguel, "I can show you my house and share my room with you."

"Hooray!" Excited Antonio.

"No. No hoorays. First off Chapa can barely carry us back home. How are we going to bring back half a town?" Asked Zano.

"Chapa can carry me and Antonio," Miguel answered "While you take Abuelo, and the others on the train."

"Miguel there is no way I'm letting two kids fly by themselves," argued Zano.

"Camilo can change his size so he can be with us."

"Fine with me," agreed the shapeshifter.

"Don't encourage them," Zano scolded and turned to the others, "Besides I doubt there is a train station in this town."

"There's not," Mirabel replied, "but there is one outside the Encanto, and it's only a day's travel."

"And they can lead us back to México?"

"Of course," she quickly answered, though unsure since she never used the train before.

"This is insane," He rubbed his head. "Look I'm willing to take the old man with us but taking all of you guys is going to complicate things," doubted Zano.

"Okay," Mirabel began as she placed her hands on Miguel's shoulders, "I know that to you, we're just strangers that happen to be related to your sister's nephew," Then she grabbed Zano's hand making him look at her, "but we need to speak to them and mend the bridges that were burnt," Keeping eye contact as she spoke, "Please help us meet them."

After hearing her words Zano still said no but for some reason, he couldn't deny those pleading brown eyes. "I must be out of my mind," Zano sighed while rubbing between his eyes, "Fine, but if we are going to do this we're going to travel together and we need a plan and a route."

"Of course," agreed Mirabel, "Papa! do you still have the schedule Tío Carlos sent you from his job?"

"Sí, Mija," confirmed Agustín "They're still in my room I'll be right back," he headed to his room to get the schedule.

Mirabel then notes to her cousin, "Oh, Dolores I'm so sorry you and-"

"It's okay Mira," assured Dolores, "I was planning to speak to Mariano about it anyway besides spring is months away. So we still have time."

"I'll go with you. I want to share this with Sofia," Said Alma as she left with Dolores to the Guzman's.

"All right, getting your personal affairs in order would be first, second would be tickets and passports," Zano pointed out, "I have my I.D. Which should be okay, and I know Miguel has his own. Any chances of Casita making magical documents?" He inquired.

"Uh?" Camilo thought, "We never really thought about that."

"Usually the only people that we do know, that leave Encantó, are Señor Osvaldo & Señora Perez," said Mirabel.

"And they are?"

"Osvaldo is one of the merchants and Perez is one of the traders that bring in new products to the Encantó," she explained.

"I thought this was a hidden village?" questioned Zano, "Cut off from the outside world."

"It is," assured Mirabel, "The mountains only allow those who are harmless to travel in and out."

"Which is good," said Félix "That way our families can visit us."

"Okay but do any of you have passports or not?"

"After I started seeing Agustín," Added Juielta, "His family offered to help us with documents in case we wanted to visit them, and that somehow extended to the whole town."

Zano was starting to get a little irritated but didn't want to be rude to the nice lady, "And did any of those documents involve passports?" he asked with strained patience.

"Yes," Julieta said "All of our children have one. However, Antoñio will have to get his made when you meet with Agustín's brother."

Agustín returns with papers in his arms, "Okay I got the schedules and the passports," he places them on the table and hands a folder to Mirabel, "These are to help Antonio get his Passport."

"With that settled, I'm going to make a call, is there a phone in this house or...?"

"Oh huh... no, we still use letters for communication and our radios sometimes," he said, "Why do you ask?"

"Is this man serious?" thought Zano, "Because a phone is faster to tell my parents where we are or your brother."

"Oh, well don't worry. I sent a messenger bird to let him know you're on your way and to get the tickets ready," he said understanding the Teen's confusion "And I have his address and maps to where he lives so you can go over the routes while we wait for his response."

"Great. How long does that take?" Zano said looking down at the maps.

"Depending on the time of day," Augstín said thinking "I'd say around the afternoon or evening, give or take a day or two," This caused the teen to slam his head on the table.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Just Fine!" he strained but continued following through, "So! Since everything seems to be in order I guess that leaves packing."

"I don't have any chores today," said Isa "I can start after I break the news to the farmers and my friends."

"Same, I'm gonna have to speak with my book club and let the other residents know I'm going to be out."

"I'll go with you girls," said Pepa "Oh, we can also catch up with Dolores and Mama to let them know," Pepa kissed her husband and sons as she went out with her sobrinas. "Ciao."

"I'll be making you some arepas to bring with you," she said heading to the kitchen.

"I'll help you tía," said Camilo.

"Milo," warned Felix. "Relax papa, I'm not gonna eat everything. Promise," he assured his father as he joined his aunt in the kitchen. Félix signed while he was proud of his son for taking an interest in cooking food instead of hoarding it. 'I just hope he remembers to pack his bag with clothes and not arepas' he thought.

"Don't worry tío Félix, Mama will keep him out of trouble besides he has been a great help in the kitchen," assured Mirabel.

"I know but I still worry," Félix answered as he turned to his youngest child, "Toñito how about we show Miguel around the town? that way you can show him all your favorite spots to play while also saying your farewells."

"Okay, Papi. Is that okay with you Miguel?"

"Sure," he turns to his grandfather, "Abuelo Bruno can you come too?"

"Sure kid, how about you Zano?"

"Thanks, but I'll pass," he said looking down at the maps, "I need to go over all these maps and schedules."

"Well, I'll take that offer. I'll join up with you guys when I'm done going over these folders with Papa," said Mirabel.

"Great," Bruno said as he walked with his grandson, "and Zano if you change your mind you can come to."

"Uh-huh," Zano said uncommittedly only focusing on getting home until he felt the presence of a certain stubborn cat. "Miguel!" But the group had already left.

"Great," he sighs being stuck cat sitting.

Chapa growled sensing the white-haired teen's problem with them in the room, "Oh c'mon Señorito Gruñón, I'm sure Chapa's not that bad," said Mirabel as she petted the black jaquin, who purred pleased with the glasses-wearing girl.

"You can keep them if you want?" he said annoyed at the cat and the nosy girl, only to be met with a blank stare and a growl.

"Okay!" Agustín interrupted, "This folder contains everyone's medical information just in case," he pointed to the folder.

"Even Tío Bruno?" She asked her father.

"Yup, hasn't been updated in a while but I'm sure he'll be okay," Agustin assured.

"Can we go over which train routes are the fastest way to get to San Ángel, POR FAVOR?" Zano pleaded.

"Well, this is the path my family uses to..."


Walking around the village made Bruno nervous especially since he was introducing his grandson to the same village that disliked his gift. Alma walked with them to help out till she parted with them to the Guzmán house.

After the introductions to the kids and some curious adults that saw the mural, everyone had questions. Especially Miguel.

"I have so many questions!" Miguel asked Abuelo Bruno.

"Where is he from?" a villager asked. Which started this whole Q .

"Why is he here?"

"How did you get here?"

Miguel responded with his questions about the triplets "What did they eat?"

"How did you fly with such a tiny little frame?"

"Honestly, I have just as many questions as you do and so does he."

"Where were they born?"

"What's that I hear?"

"Does he want a bite of fruit?"

"How are they here if the mountains say they can't be?"

"It's all much bigger than we know"

"How, why, what do you mean?"

It's only just beginning to unfold

I'm so confused.

There's more to know.

So let it all unfold,

I never knew there was more to know

Isn't all so amazing?

There's a world mysterious, there for you to find

Out of the blue, there was room to grow

Isn't it all kinda crazy?

All we are is curious, there's nothing wrong with that

So go around every corner

Do people still have art?

Search every part of the sky

What is he doing?

Let him try

Miguel shows them pictures of the outside world everyone was intrigued.

Because a life that's full of wonder

Is a wonderful life

The rest of the walk Miguel learned a lot about his papa, Tío, and Tía when they grew up in the village. Some nice...

"Javier was such a sweet boy who always had a book in his hand."

"Ignácio was such an energetic youth and so creative."

"Angelina was a beautiful girl who loved children."

"Talented musicians!"

Some not-so-positive words...

"At times they would get..." Osvaldo started in a 'well' tone.

"Headstrong."

"Hotheaded."

"Smart."

"Nerd."

"Show off."

"Mocoso."

"La Blanca Cuervo."

"Bruta."

And half of those traits were for a certain female that was very headstrong. Each word made Bruno and Félix cringe but...

"Aléjate de mí hija," Stated old man says squinting at Miguel.

Never mind.

"Señor Rojas Miguel is four. Tu hija esta casada y tiene hijos," explained Bruno.

"Oh, lo siento fuerza de la costumbre," the old man apologize with a smile to the little boy, "Aléjate de mí nieta," he added while keeping the friendly smile.

"Okay," Miguel complied innocently before asking "¿Pero Que Hizo mí papa?"

"Oh look at the time," They interrupted while guiding the boys away to avoid any unnecessary information, not suitable for kids.

"Abuelo, what stories do you have of them?"

"Yeah Papi, what do you remember?" Antonio said to Felix.

Now this was a question both Bruno and Félix were comfortable answering.

"Where do I start..." Bruno started to tell them. As they continued to walk around the village.
