JULIETA- "Mirabel!"
PEPA- "Julieta, come quick!"
Pepa called out for her older sister, and Julieta was forced to choose. Leave her youngest here alone or find out what had her younger sister so upset. She didn't get too much time to choose.
PEPA- "Julieta!"
Pepa called out to her sister once again but this time much sterner.
"Couldn't you let her check on her daughter," Alonso asked with an upset tone. Pepa looked at him and saw a frown on his face, already looking at her. Pepa didn't like the frown on his face, it didn't suite him at all. This is my nephew-in-law and he shouldn't be frowning, she thought and swore to always make sure he has a smile on his face.
JULIETA- "Don't move. I'll be right back."
She reassured her daughter before rushing off to her sister quickly.
PEPA- "How did this happen?"
As both Camilo and Tío Félix walked off it left Dolores and Abuela on the screen
DOLORES- "Here, let me help you. Let me help you."
Dolores gently helped Abuela sit on top of some of the debris before walking off to find the rest of her family.
Alma wanted to tell Dolores to not help her up, she deserved to be on the ground for what she put her family through. As if reading her mind, her grandson-in-law put his hand on her shoulder to reassure her. She looked up at him and he smiled at her, which she returned.
The screen zoomed in on Abuela as she sat there. She stared at Casita, at their home, gone. Nothing but a fallen mess.
AGUSTĺN- "Everyone okay?"
PEPA- "Antonio, don't cry, papito. Don't cry."
FÉLIX- "How is this possible? The Encanto's broken."
The family's confused and frantic comments filled the screen before switching back to FMirabel, who stared at her Abuela. FMirabel looked like she was about to break into tears. Everyone made a move to hug her, but Alonso did it before they could.
PEPA- "What do we do now?"
CAMILO- "My powers. They're gone. I don't... What about Antonio? What is he going to do?"
The screen cut to Julieta, she pulled out a small box filled with even smaller bottles of what anyone could only assume were what was left of her magical gift.
She turned around, looking for her daughter.
JULIETA- "Mirabel?"
"Why do you sound confuse Julieta," Pepa asked worried. Julieta now had a worried look as well, though no one notice the guilty look on FMirabel's face.
Mirabel wasn't there. Mirabel wasn't where she was supposed to be.
Here everyone looked at FMirabel. She laughed nervously.
JULIETA- "Mirabel!"
She called out again, this time with more volume. It caught the attention of Félix, who stopped his conversation to look at his cuñada. Once he had realized why she was calling out for his daughter he began to look around, hoping to catch a glance at her.
JULIETA- "Where's Mirabel? Where is she?"
Julieta's voice slowly became more desperate. As she called out for her daughter again.
"Sorry mama," FMirabel said, looking at her mom. Julieta just smiled tensely at her.
JULIETA- "Mirabel!"
Once again the screen flashed away to Mirabel scaling the mountains of the Encanto. She had tears falling down her face.
Alma paled, watching as her granddaughter leaving the Encanto.
FÉLIX- "Mirabel?"
Félix's voice could be heard echoing from down below. Mirabel ignored it as she kept pushing forward. The screen began to pull away and zoom out as Mirabel walked through the fractured mountain.
FÉLIX- "Mirabel!"
His voice echoed on more time as Mirabel's silhouette disappeared from the frame leaving only a split mountain in it's shot.
"Mirabel, you left the encanto?" Her Mamá asked in concern.
FMirabel only nodded
The screen then faded to black, pulling a few confused comments from the family.
"That's it? That's the end?" Camilo said, waving his hands in front of himself.
"No that is not the end," FMirabel said reassuringly.
LUISA- "Mirabel?"
LUISA- "Mirabel!"
Luisa could be seen in the distance searching for her sister. The camera then paned down to the three children.
"I wonder how long we searched for you," Alma whispered quietly. No one answered.
FÉLIX- "Mirabel!"
Félix's voice could be heard in the distance, calling out for his sobrina. The fallen frame of the house could be seen in the background, seemingly untouched from the previous night.
CECILIA- "They haven't found her yet?"
She asked in concern. Her friends shaking their heads and looking down in concern.
"Awe, they're adorable," Julieta said, before shaking her head remembering her youngest is missing.
The screen cut to Mirabel's parents calling out for their youngest child as they scaled a small hill.
AGUSTĺN- "Mirabel!"
JULIETA- "Mirabel!"
Just behind the house Félix and Dolores were also searching for Mirabel. Félix yelling out and Dolores straining her ears to hear the best she could.
FÉLIX- "Mirabel!"
Dolores winced, looking at herself not being able to hear her youngest prima. The one time she would've been grateful for her power.
Suddenly a thorny branch appeared on the screen. A pink thread in the shape of an 'M' sat on a thorn. A shadowed figure appeared before the scene changed again. Mirabel sat on the edge of a rock, her body all pulled together in a tight hug. Water ran gently from just below her.
The longer that the screen showed Mirabel, the closer she pulled her legs tighter to her chest and sob.
It zoomed in on Mirabel crying.
Alma winced, seeing Mirabel cry like that is too hard to bare, but she must, for she is the cause of it.
ABUELA- "Mirabel."
Alma perked up, seeing that it was her who found Mirabel. Hopefully I won't still blame her for this, she thought.
Abuela appeared from behind Mirabel. As she heard Abuela she pulled her head up slightly before wiping her tears away quickly. She then turned her head and body away from Abuela in a defensive manner.
MIRABEL- "I'm sorry."
"You have nothing to be sorry for, I am who should be sorry," Alma told her granddaughter.
She said, turning back straight forward as she did.
MIRABEL- "I didn't want to hurt us. I just wanted to be something I'm not."
"You didn't hurt us," everyone basically shouted. FMirabel just laughed nervously.
Mirabel dropped her head back to her knees as she cried.
Abuela looked at the river, then down at her granddaughter. She took a moment before walking towards her and sat down.
ABUELA- "I've never been able to come back here."
As she said that, Mirabel lifted her head just enough to be off of her knees. The screen cut to behind the two women. It showed the serene waterfall dripping down the small rocks, into the river itself.
"Where were the two of you?" Agustín asked, unfamiliar with the setting.
To answer his question FMirabel pressed play.
ABUELA- "This river is where we were given our miracle."
Gasps could be heard from the triplets as they realized exactly where the two on screen were.
MIRABEL- "Where Abuelo Pedro..."
Mirabel questioned, trailing off at the end not daring to finish her sentence.
ABUELA- "I thought we would have a different life."
A faint, almost ghostly figure appeared from behind Abuela. Walking past the two slowly becoming more and more opaque.
Alonso looked at his grandmother-in-law in sadness, for he couldn't even imagine what loosing a spouse would feel like, and he hopes to never lose his wife.
ABUELA- "I thought I would be a different woman."The scene transitioned into young Alma walking through her hometown, before the Encanto was built. She walked up to another lady who handed her a candle, which she accepted before continuing on her way.A soft guitar tune played in the background as Alma stood up on a lamp post to gain a better view. When she did she saw a singular yellow butterfly flying above the citizens of the town.
Everyone perked up at the sight of the butterfly. Does it have meaning, everyone thought.
As she watched the butterfly's path she saw it cross in front of a young man, similar to her own age. He saw it two. Watching the butterfly as it passed. As it left he noticed Alma staring as it flew by. He gave her a small wave and a smile, one which she happily returned. She slipped slightly, just managing to catch herself before she fell.
It cut back to Pedro laughing at Alma as she went, causing her to laugh too before shrugging.
"Is that?" Pepa asked.
"Papá." Bruno finished.
Background Music:
Dos oruguitas enamoradas
Pasan sus noches y madrugadas
The entire family watched as it showed the two eating food and laughing together by a fountain. The Madrigal triplets watching the closest. For this might be the only time they see their parents together.
They had never seen their Mamá so happy.
Tears began to swell up in the triplets eyes, Abuela already lost with emotion.
The three began to cry, mourning for the father they never had. Mourning for their Mamá too.
The screen transitioned to the pair getting married. Both standing there in front of friends and family then to the two sharing their first kiss as husband and wife. Holding a white candle in their hands.
Llenas de hambre, siguen andando
Y navegando un mundo
Que cambia y sigue cambiando
Navegando un mundo
Que cambia y sigue cambiando
Everyone was moved by the music, and by the scene. They wished that Pedro hadn't perished and Alma to never lose her husband.
The image of the pair had been framed and placed on a bedside table before showing Alma picking up a small cut out image of a baby. Pedro sat on the bed with his eyes closed. As he opened them a large smile spread across his face.
Alma opened up the image of the baby to show that there were three. Pedro's mouth dropped open and his eye began to roll around before he dramatically fell backwards onto the bed.
Alonso looked at the Madrigals, and knew that they is a chance of triplets. He was surprisingly okay with this fact.
Alma's face twisted into one of concern until she saw her husband laying eyes wide open, a goofy grin spread across his lips. She laughed before he pulled her down with him into a tight hug.
Dos oruguitas paran el viento
Mientras se abrazan con sentimiento
The screen changed again to show Alma holding her three babies as Pedro tenderly rubbed what everyone could only assume Julieta's head. Pedro then placed a hand behind Alma and began to say something to her before an orange flash behind them caused them to turn and look.
As they did they found multiple riders on horseback throwing lighted torches at a few of the homes before immediately riding off. People ran from the scene, fleeing as fast as they could.
Alonso's face hardened when he saw the scene. He wished he could turn back time and stop this from happening.
Looks of horror filled the couples faces as they watched what was unfolding before them.
Siguen creciendo, no saben cuándo
It then showed a room with three cribs all sat in one corner as the duo closed the door and left.
Buscar algún rincónEl tiempo sigue cambiandoInseparables son
El tiempo sigue cambiando
Alma, who held her triplets in her arms, walked ahead of the group with her husband beside her holding out a lantern, lighting the way. It showed them all walking around mountains, then cut to everyone crossing the river that Mirabel and Abuela were at.
Everyone shivered at the thought of them at the river where lost a great man.
Suddenly, multiple people began to run past the young family. Everyone scattered to get away from the impending danger. Alma and Pedro looked back to see what everyone was running from. Pure fear spread across their faces as Alma held her children that much closer to her chest.
A shot of four riders on horseback charging to their destination was back to Alma and Pedro. Pedro was seen yelling something out before running with his family, desperate to get away.
Alonso hugged his wife to him tighter, thinking that if this happened to them, he also would have done the same as Pedro. He would do everything to keep his wife and soon to be child safe and alive.
The two ran, ignoring those around them who fell, doing their best to put distance between them and the enemy.
Ay, oruguitas, no se aguanten más
Hay que crecer a parte y volver, hacia adelante seguirás
After a moment, Pedro stopped running, tears began to pool at his eyelids. Gently slowing Alma down, he looked at her for a moment before looking down at his children. Quickly he planted a kiss on each of their foreheads. He looked up at Alma before giving her a kiss, swiping his thumb across her cheek before saying something to her.
"He is a great man," Alonso said, which caused Alma to look at him with a smile, agreeing with his statement.
Upon realizing what had been said to her Alma teared up, realizing what her Pedro was going to do. He passed her the candle from their wedding day before walking away, towards the danger.
As Pedro disappeared from shot, Mirabel appeared. She watched the events unfold, her face in shock as she witnessed what her Abuelo was doing.
"No!" Pepa called out as she stood up and reached a hand out for her Papá. Alonso had tears in his eyes, knowing that the ones responsible for the triplets to be fatherless might've never been punished for their crimes.
Félix stood up, doing his best to console his wife.
Vienen milagros, vienen crisálidas
Hay quе partir y construir su propio futuro
Pedro walked towards the riders, his hands held in surrender. In return they all pulled out their machetes and aimed them at Pedro.
Ay, oruguitas, no se aguanten más
Hay que crеcer a parte y volver, hacia adelante seguirásVienen milagros,
Alonso's jaw clenched, trying to keep himself from crying. He buried his head in his wife's hair. She patted him gently, knowing this is hard for him to watch, as he hates it when good people are killed.
Alma screamed out in anguish as she watched her husband die. Mirabel who was now standing in the scene couldn't believe what she was seeing. Alma fell to her knees in complete despair, holding her babies as she fell.
Vienen crisálidas
Hay que partir y construir su propio futuro
The candle that Pedro had handed to his love mere moments ago now sat on the ground. Magical golden sparks engulfed it as a beautiful pattern of butterflies magic that the candle had released flung the riders back.
Well that must have come as a shock to the nervous system, Alonso thought.
Mirabel looked up at her surroundings to find mountains growing from the ground. The mountains of Encanto. She turned back to see her Abuela in absolute hysteria, holding her babies. She looked up as the mountains grew taller and taller, concealing the river that now had so many painful memories attached.
She stood up, holding all of the children in one arm and holding the candle in the other hand. The townspeople now coming closer, all confused as to what had happened and to console Alma.
The candle then became the main focus of the frame, sitting on the windowsill. It slowly shifted to focus on Alma, who held her triplets in her lap. She gazed emptily towards the floor. Her gaze then shifted to her children, all sleeping softly.
"Miss Alma, just want to let you know, I don't like it when you seem so empty, you look better when you smile and are happy," Alonso said honestly. Everyone looked at him and agreed that she does look better like that.
Dos oruguitas desorientadas
En dos capullos bien abrigadas
Her gaze shifted upwards. Still empty but this time with more determination. It showed as Alma picked up her black shawl and exited her room, candle in her hand. When she did, Mirabel stood on the other side. A glowing door, the same as before you gain your gift glowed next to her. She looked down in shame as Abuela passed her.
ABUELA- "I was given a miracle."
As a beam passed through the shot, Alma then aged back to her current age now. A faint guitar still playing in the background.
ABUELA- "A second chance."
She passed her son. Her Bruno. Who stood beside his door, looking so small, so afraid. Desperate for his mother to notice him. She passed him without sparing a second glance. He looked down, upset as she passed.
"I'm sorry Bruno, you didn't deserve that at all," Alma said to her son. He smiled timidly.
Another beam showed on the screen, this time with Isabela standing next to her door, flowers surrounding the frame. As she passed, Isabela stood up straighter and put on a brave face.
Another beam.
ABUELA- "And I was so afraid to lose it,"
"Ah, now I understand why you were like this, fear can control you, but you must control it," Alonso said wisely.
Luisa. Stood holding a large bag of something heavy. Similar to her sister, standing up straight. Desperate to please.
One final beam appeared as Abuela walked past. This time to a young Mirabel on her ceremony night as the door faded away.
ABUELA- "That I lost sight of who our miracle was for."
Mirabel turned to look at her Abuela, eyes widened in fear and confusion. So afraid of what she was going to say.
At this Alonso's eyes harden as he glared at Alma for treating Mirabel like that instead of comforting her.
The only light that was now being emitted was that of the candle in Abuela's hands.
ABUELA- "And I am so sorry."
The candle in her hands disappeared and everything around her went black. Mirabel was gone now too.
ABUELA- "You never hurt our family Mirabel."
The darkness then changed to Abuela in the fallen remains of Casita as she fell to her knees.
ABUELA- "We are broken, because of me."
Alma looked down in shame, but agreeing with her future self.
Abuela looked down in shame. Mirabel Stared at her Abuela, not sure what to say. She turned back to face the river, finding a yellow butterfly landing on a small reed sticking out of the water.
MIRABEL- "Abuela. I can finally see."
Alma looked up in confusion.
Mirabel held her hand out for her Abuela to take them, leading her towards the butterfly.
MIRABEL- "You lost your home."
She looked down at the butterfly, pausing before she continued.
MIRABEL- "Lost everything. You suffered so much, all alone, so it would never happen again. We were saved, because of you. We were given a miracle, because of you. We are a family, because of you. And nothing could ever be broken that we can't fix... together."
Alma smiled warmly at her granddaughter, agreeing with her. Julieta looked at her youngest with pride.
Mirabel took her Abuela's hand, squeezing it just that little bit tighter. The sun began to come out from behind the clouds, shining brightly in the two women. Abuela smiled at Mirabel before coming to a realization.
ABUELA- "I asked my Pedro for help. Mirabel. He sent me you."
He truly did, she thought happily.
The two held each other in a tight embrace as the sun shone even brighter as though holding them tight too.
Everyone cheered at the hug.
Background Music:
Ay, mariposas, no se aguanten más
Hay que crecer a parte y volver, hacia adelante seguirás
As the two pulled away they found themselves being surrounded but a kaleidoscope of butterflies. They looked upon them all in awe watching as they all flew towards the Encanto.
Everyone was looking in awe at the butterflies.
Ya son milagros, rompiendo crisálidas
Hay que volar, hay que encontrar su propio futuro
As Mirabel helped Abuela out of the river a voice could be heard.
BRUNO- "She didn't do this! Woah! She didn't do this!"
Everyone looked at Bruno, but he just shrugged, mentioning that this was the future for him too.
Bruno appeared from the bush, riding on horseback. The two Madrigals stared at him, surprised.
BRUNO- "I gave her a vision! It was me! Ah!"
He climbed off of the horse, not very well, but doing his best.
Everyone laughed at this, especially Bruno.
BRUNO- "I was like, 'go' and she was like, 'fshew'. She only wanted to help. I don't care what you think of me! But if you're too stubborn to...to..."
Bruno was cut off by his mother wrapping him up in a warm, tight hug. He looked down at his mother in shock.
Need to make sure to hug him more, along with the rest, Alma thought not remembering when the last time she hugged her family.
ABUELA- "Brunito."
BRUNO- "I feel like I missed something important."
Everyone snorted at this.
MIRABEL- "C'mon."
Abuela gave her son a kiss on the cheek before leading him back to the horse.
BRUNO- "What... What's happening? Where are we going?"
Bruno was completely confused. Mirabel took a breath out before a determined look spread across her face.
MIRABEL- "Home."
Everyone once again cheered at the fact that Bruno comes back into their lives.
