Disclaimers: As much as I may want to claim ownership of these two productions, I can't because Encanto (2021) belong to a whole lot of different companies that I can't remember the names of at the moment. Any characters that appear in this fic that are not a part of either original series, belong to me so don't take them without asking first.
Timeframe: This story is going to take place in the Encanto (2021) universe. I'm also making it so that the Madrigal family starting from Alma Madrigal going down the family list, is born in the mid-1930's instead of the original earlier time period that the series starts off in with Pedro and Alma, so that by the time Mirabel is born, she is born in the year 1990.
I am also making Julieta, Pepa, and their spouses (and Bruno) five years younger than what they were when they married and had the grandkids, so they are not in their fifties by the time Antonio is five years old.
Author's Notes: Because of the 'Wish Reboot' back to the night before her Gift ceremony, Mirabel's magic bedroom door remains and she receives a Gift this time around, as well as gained the power to become the next Candle Bearer when Alma eventually dies.
Warning: Because of their memories of their experience in the other timeline, both Mirabel and Bruno will stubbornly be completely different than what they were in canon, as they do things they didn't do in the original timeline, like being more stubborn and confident about things and not backing down and standing up more against Alma instead of quietly letting her treat them the way she did in the old timeline as one of the things they are trying to change for the better.

But thanks to the last of the magic of the Miracle candle and a wish that Mirabel makes just as she takes her final breath, instead of staying dead Mirabel and Bruno both suddenly find themselves 'waking up' years in the past inside of their younger bodies the night before Mirabel's Gift ceremony with all of their memories of the possible future still intact. In an attempt to stop the events that happened in the original future, can Mirabel and Bruno save their family and make a better tomorrow for everybody? (Papa Bruno Madrigal AU)

One Shot: Make It Work Again Lyrics
By: Sakura Lisel
======================================
Mirabel
Mmmm, he says he wants to make it work again
Let the long road back to love begin
He thinks that we can make
We can make it work again?
I've got a heart that needs to mend
And I don't know how this story ends
Oh, can we make
Can we make it work again?
I know it won't be easy
Bruno
I absolutely swear that things will be different this time around
I'm taking this second chance to fix and rectify everything
So that things won't happen the same as before
That everything will be different than what happened before
If everybody has a problem with how I do things now
While I am trying to make everything work again
I will quite gladly show them the door out
Because nothing will ever be the same ever again as before
This time around I won't let things get me down
I'm gonna properly visualize every good and bad vision
Keep an eye on every prophecy and sort them out
So that I don't make the same mistakes as before
Mirabel
I really hope that this time around I will save Casita
As well as that Abuela will finally see and hear me
Together we can fix the hearts that will get broken
So that everybody's hopes and dreams come true
I'm gonna make it work again
Bruno
I've been working on these plans for all these years
Trying to change things for the better
So now there is no turning back
I'm gonna make it work again
Mirabel and Bruno
Wonder if this time it could be real
Bruno
I'm gonna make it work again
Trying to fix every heart that gets broken
I'm gonna make
I'm gonna make it work again
Every little hour that I spend
Is gonna be worth it in the end
If I just get it
Just get it to work again
Mirabel
I've come this far without your help
Figure it out all by myself
Forgiveness sure ain't easy
Don't know what I'm gonna do
Or if my heart will find its way to you, hey!
Ohh, I'm gotta, gotta, ahh yeah!
Make it work, Ohh
(Make it work out)
Make it work (It ain't easy)
(Make it work out)
Make it work (It ain't easy)
You've got to make it work (Make it work out)
You've got to make it work, yeah (It ain't easy)
You've got to make it work (Make it work out)
You've got to make it work (It ain't easy)
Bruno
I'm gonna make it work again (Make it work out)
Got a say in how my story ends (It ain't easy)
I'm gonna make (Make it work out)
I'm gonna make it work again (It ain't easy)
Mirabel
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Make it work out)
Oh, oh (It ain't easy)
You've got to make it work (Make it work out)
(It ain't easy)
Bruno
Gotta make it work (We gotta, we gotta to work)
Gotta make it work (Work, work, oh work)
Gotta make it work again (Work, work)
Gotta make it work again, again (Work, oh work)
Chorus
Make it work out
Work, work
It ain't easy
Work, oh work
Gonna make it (Make it work out) (Work, work)
Gonna make it (It ain't easy)
Gonna make it work again (Work, oh work)
Make it work again
Mirabel and Bruno
Gotta say in how my story ends
Make it work again
I'm gonna make it
Make it work again
I'm gonna make it work again
Make it work again
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, make it work again
Make it work again
Mirabel
I'm not sure if we can make
If we can make it work again

Author's Notes:
So what do you guys think? This chapter is completed at 7 pages. This is my first attempt at writing a Encanto (2021) fanfiction story. Please tell me what you think of it in reviews. Do you guys love it? Hate it? What? Though extremely rude flamers won't be tolerated. Please tell me what all of you think of this story of mine.
So what do you guys think of this song chapter? I was rewatching a movie on Netflix called Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey that this song came from, and the after listening to the song I thought it sounded perfect for this story, and once it got it my to use it, it wouldn't go away. *lol*
Once I heard this song, I couldn't stop visualizing Bruno and Mirabel singing it instead. I think it fits the two of them perfectly, and the idea wouldn't leave me alone until I finally typed it out, with some tweaks and edits to the original version of the song so it would fit Mirabel and Bruno better.
I edited the Make It Work Again song a bit in the first beginning in the first four lines that has Bruno and Mirabel singing, but other than those parts, everything else in the song is from the original song. *lol* If you guys watched the original version of the song can you really tell me you can't imagine Bruno and Mirabel singing it, seeing what's going on with the plot line in this story?
