Peeking through the flower curtain two five year olds look out at all the people inside their home all watching as some members of their family performed shows with their gifts like their cousin Isabella, who had kids surrounding her and looking at the flowers that appeared in awe.

The five year old girl moved her head back and began to fiddle with her fingers nervously when a hand was placed on her shoulder causing her to look at the woman in a yellow dress, a pair of sun earrings and curly red hair. Seeing her daughters nervous expression she knelt in-front of her and held booth her hands in hers.

"Elena, mi haija, calm down for me you will be fine just like your brother will be" her gentle tone eased someone of the brunette's worry's as her eyes stopped looking at the curtain and her mother. "You will receive a beautiful gift that will allow you to join the family and help out those around us, ok?" In return to what her mother said Elena nodded.

Camilo, her twin brother, walked up to her and placed his hand around her back and pulled her closer to him so that they were side by side. "We're going to get the best gifts ever El" he exclaimed causing the twins parents and sister to laugh at him.

Dolores walked towards them and ruffled his hair in one hand and stroked Elena's hair in the other. "Your going to make the family proud I know it" she said before standing up to join her parents. Tilting her ear upwards the oldest child in the room told the others "it's time" and walked out after giving a reassuring smile to the twins.

Their parents gave them encouragement as they walked out of the room to join their abuela at the top of the stairs.

Abuela began her speech to the people of Encanto "forty years ago, in our darkest moment, this candle blessed us with a miracle. And the greatest honour of our family has been to serve this community" Elena stared in wonder with her twin at what their abuela said as excitement grew in them. "Tonight, we come together once more after four years as two others step into the light and make us proud" after she said that the flower curtain the two children stood behind opened allowing those around them to stare.

Feeling nervous Elena grabbed her twins hand and looked over at him nervously hoping he would do something. Camilo turned and smiled at her and whispered "come on I'll be with you every step" he walked forward a step, still looking at her, and waits for Elena to follow him.

Gulping the five year old walked forward swallowing her nerves and looked straight ahead after smiling at her brother. They both walk hand in hand, not letting the other go, as they made their way up the stairs leading to two glowing doors. The people of the town all awed at the twins even their family couldn't help the soft smiles on their faces.

When they reach Alma she smiles at the two and holds the candle, that gave their family gifts, in front of them so that they can place a hand onto it "will you use your gift to honour this miracle? Will you serve this community and strengthen our home?"

Camilo nods with a quiet "yes" before taking his hands of the candle and walking towards his door and touching the doorknob. When he turns it a light began shining on his door as three figures appeared one in-front of the other a man, woman and Camilo himself on the door. Many looks of curiosity and confusion were passed around not knowing what the door meant until they saw Camilo turning to his twin with a huge smile and suddenly turn into her.

Elena stared in shock as she looked at the copy of herself in front of her. Seeing her look Camilo looks down at his and hands and body to see that he was wearing the same clothes as Elena and had the exact same hands and arms.

"Shapeshifting" Elena mutters in surprise causing her twin's eyes to widen in excitement and let out a yell of happiness. Though he calmed down slightly and nudges his sister towards their Abuela, who now stood in front of her door with her parents behind her.

She walked over to them and smiled slightly when the candle was lowered in front of her allowing her to place both her hands onto it.

Her Abuela now with happiness in her voice spoke to her granddaughter "will you use your gift to honour this miracle? Will you serve our community and strengthen our home?"

Elena stared into the older woman's face as she answered her "I will" and removed her hands from the candle to stand in front of the door and place her hands onto the door knob and turn it.

The same light that was on her brother's door appeared and showed a older Elena with her hands on her hips whilst being surrounded by snowflakes inside a glowing diamond.

When taking her hand if the doorknob a snowflake appeared in her palm floating before turning into a snow ball. She looked up and saw everyone looking at her door not knowing she discovered her gift yet and threw the snowball at her distracted brother who then let out a yelp of surprise.

"Ahh who did that?" He exclaimed whiling the snow off him until he saw the smirk on his sister's face and a look of realisation hit him. "It was you!, you can make snow cool!"

This got everyone's attention and they all stared at the girl in wonder as she created another snowball and looked around her family with the guests and throwing it at Dolores landing on her head and into her mouth, that was open from shock already.

"We have two new gifts!" Alma told everyone with a cheer causing everyone else to cheer as well. "Now whose room shall we enter first huh?" She says turning to the twins who looked at each other for a second before they ran to Camilo's door with everyone following him.

When entering the room everyone could see it begin to form and create things that would help Camilo with his gift. A stage was beginning to form with red curtains tied to either end to show the performing space. A large bed appeared aswell as seats infront of the stage and many mirrors all in different shapes and sizes.

Everyone stared in wonder when the room had finished being created and looked around whilst Camilo ran around to look at everything whilst shifting into different people due to his happiness.

When he returned back to his other half he grabbed her hand and pulled her out the room hoping to see hers. His family laughed as they walked towards the girls room as it looked like he was more exited the Elena herself.

"Go on El open it please" Camilo begged as he nudged the girl forward electing a chuckle out of her as she went and opened the door beginning to walk in with everyone.

Whilst the room was being created a cold air blew through causing everyone to shiver apart from Elena, whose eyes were open in wonder, earning a raised eyebrow raising from her older sister. Icicles began to form around the room as snow fell gently down onto the floor adding to the snow that was there. Trees formed with ice for leafs that touched the ground and made a jingle when they touched each other. A large pool of water was seen further back into the room and began to turn into ice.

None could speak taking in the beauty of the room all thinking it as the best they had ever seen. Elena walked around as the wind blew in her face earning a laugh as she was pushed around the room. Camilo joined his twin and ran around to look at everything he could see.

Though everyone began to shiver and walked out of the room into the warmth whilst abuela walked over and placed a hand on Elena's shoulder "we think it might be best to party in Camilo's room as it's to cold in here Elena" she spoke softly guiding her out join everyone.

"But it's not even that cold Abuela" whined Elena as her door closed. Her response earned a laugh from her grandmother and walked into her brother's room for the party.
