Mirabel Madrigal was not having a good night, after her gift ceremony failed, her Abuela Alma decided to banish her from the village of Encanto.

After minutes of crying by the river where her Abuelo Pedro sacrificed himself, she decided to leave here and find somewhere else to live.

She found a hot air balloon and jumped into it, it flew away from Colombia to an island called Avalonia, she suddenly got lost on a field of glowing green balls as she does not realize that she was on someone's farm, she sat by a house and started sobbing again, quietly.

Suddenly, three people, a man, a woman, and a six-year-old boy, walk out of the house and see her next to it and walk to her.

Finding a young child on their farm was not something they would expect to happen.

"There, there, dear, it's alright, you're safe here," The woman, Meridian, said to Mirabel as she soothed her.

The boy, Ethan, looked at Mirabel and thought to himself, "Am I in love?"

Humans can be cruel sometimes, especially to their own children, Meridian was sickened by it, though not nearly as much as other people who detested anything remotely cruel happening to children.

The man, Searcher, was also sickened by it, it reminded him of the time his father, Jaeger Clade, left him up the mountains.

…

In the house, Mirabel was on a comfy couch with a children's book about a plant called pando and a mug of cocoa, the family took her in as their guest.

Meridian was talking to Searcher as she said, "We couldn't just leave her out there, Searcher. It was nighttime and there might've been kidnappers or something."

"And what do we plan on doing with her, honey? Neither of us will kindly handle working together to care for her, think about Ethan, he would feel like we replaced him," Searcher explained.

Meridian put her hand on Searcher's shoulder as she said, "We're not gonna replace Ethan, we still love him, also this Mirabel girl mentioned something about a miracle her family was given. I will look into that, I'll ask is that you watch her, we've always had a soft spot for children, if nothing else."

Searcher nodded and replied, "Oh, alright, only because we need more information, before this village of hers gets an earthquake or something."

While Searcher and Meridian were talking, Mirabel entered Ethan's room and found him.

"Hola," Mirabel greeted.

Ethan turned to Mirabel and replied, "Hi, I didn't get your name yet."

Mirabel walked to Ethan and introduced herself, "Sorry, Mirabel, Mirabel Madrigal."

"Ethan, Ethan Clade," Ethan introduced himself and then turned around as he continued drawing and coloring something.

"What are you drawing?" Mirabel asked Ethan.

At that moment, Ethan showed Mirabel the drawing he was making as he asked, "Is this the house you were talking about when we found you?"

Mirabel nodded and answered, "Sí, that's Casita."

"Casita?" Ethan questioned.

Mirabel nodded again and answered, "Yep, it's the name of the house I was kicked out of."

While Mirabel was talking to Ethan about Casita and the Encanto, barking was heard from outside of Ethan's room, but it was not very loud like a big dog's would be, it was Ethan's bernedoodle, Legend.

"Legend, Legend, it's okay, come here," Ethan said, commanding his dog.

Legend walked into the room and hopped onto Ethan's bed.

"Is she allowed up there?" Mirabel asked Ethan.

Ethan turned to Mirabel and answered, "Legend's a boy, Mira, and yes, he is."

Legend put his nose close to Mirabel and began licking her face.

"That tickles," Mirabel said as she chuckled.

"Legend likes you, which is great news for you," Ethan replied as he and Mirabel go back to playing together with Legend now cuddled up next to Mirabel.

At 8:00 PM, Mirabel and Ethan climb onto the bed and start reading some books about Jaeger Clade's adventures until 10:00 PM. When the hour came, they finally fall asleep.
