Everyone in the room went outside to see what was going on but when everyone is out, the walls... The doors, and the candle is alright. In that moment, only you can see on the corner of Luisia's room, the cracks that Mirabel mentioned. You sigh as you noticed that Alma brushed it off and continued the party, "Cami, I'll talk to Mirabel... I'll see you tomorrow?" You said to the curly boy beside you, "Alright, I'll see you tomorrow, Hermosa." He said with a lovingly smile as you wave and went to Mirabel and her mother.

"If it was all in my head, the how did I cut my hand?" Mirabel complained as you examine the cut on her palm. "It is definitely a cut from a sharp object." You said as Mirabel complaint more. "Is that really what you think?" Mirabel asked Julieta as she placed the arepa con queso to the stove, "What I think is that today was very hard for you." Julieta said as Mirabel grunts, "I was looking out for the family." Mirabel said as you sigh, "Mira, some things like this can get you get hurt." You said as Mirabel grumbles. "I might not be super strong like Luisa, or effortlessly perfect like Senorita Perfecta Isabella..." Mirabel said, "You're more than that." You said encouraging her as Julieta went to her side. Casita then moved her tiles to Julieta's side with her arepa and some sugar, "I wish you could see yourself the way that me and Y/N do." Julieta commented as she gave the arepa to Mirabel, "You're perfect just like this." Julieta continued as Mirabel took a bite of the arepa, "Your mother is right, Mira. You're just as special as the rest of the Madrigals are." You said as you three looked at Mirabel's cut to disappear. "You just healed my hand with an arepa con queso." Mirabel said as you went your way to get an arepa, "I know what I saw." You heard Mirabel saying and you don't want to hear the rest but you suddenly have an idea, "Hey Mira... Can I stay for the night?" You asked so suddenly, "Why?" Mirabel asked in response, "Well.. We have a lot to talk about... Cami..." You said mumbling the last name as Mirabel just grinned, "I see... Alrighty then!" Mirabel said as she took your hand and walked out of the kitchen to the middle of the house where you two saw the guests leaving.

"Ma! Pa! Can I sleep here with Mirabel?" You asked your parents as they looked at each other, "I don't see the problem." Your Lola Flora said as your parents turn to her, "Are you sure, Ma? Paano ung pampalit nya?" Your father said as Gabriel volunteer to bring it later. "Salamat, Kuya Gab. You're a lifesaver." You said to Gabriel as he smiles, "It's nothing, Little sis." He said but you lean onto his ear, "It's also an excuse to see Mirabel~" You whispered, leaving him very blushy and can't look Mirabel in the eyes, "I'llgetyourclothes!" He said fast as he ran to your house to get the clothes. You laugh at his tactics, "I'll be home in no time!" You said as you wave at your parents. Then Mirabel slides her arm onto yours to steal you to her room when Camilo saw the both of you, "Y/N? What are you still doing here? I thought you went home." Camilo asked as you and Mirabel looked at each other before you blushed, "I-Uh.. I'm..." You wanted to explain but your best friend beat you to it, "I invited her over to a sleepover. No boys allowed!" Mirabel took you away to her room. You waved with a smile to Camilo before going off with Mirabel... On the other hand... Camilo just stood there, dumbfounded... "Dolores! Sis!" Camilo called to his older sister to help.

"So... I need details!" Mirabel asked as you giggle, "But Mira, the thing is... I believe that the miracle is also in danger." You said while you change into the nightwear Mirabel let you borrow. Mirabel's eyes widen, "You-You believe me?!" Mirabel whispered hoping Dolores didn't hear about it, "Yeah, I also saw tiny cracks on Luisa's door... I don't know how but I saw it somehow..." You said as you both sat down on her bed, Mirabel then flop down to her bed in her nightwear as she sigh. "Let's check the candle, just in case." You suggested as she nods and stood up. Both of you went out of the night and sneak to the window where the candle stood tall. Mirabel checked the candle and it seemed to be fine when you saw Alma coming close to the window, "Mira." You whispered pulling her gently to your spot as Alma stand on the window, 'Muntik na yun ah...' You thought as you and Mirabel listened to what Alma is saying, "Ay, Pedro. I need you." Alma said as she holds her necklace with her late husband, Pedro, picture in it, "If our family knew how vulnerable we truly are... If our miracle is dying... We cannot lose our home again." She continued as she sighs. "Why is this happening? Open my eyes. If the answer is here, help me find it. Help me protect our family. Help me save our miracle." She finishes by kissing the necklace and went back to bed. You felt so sorry for the Madrigals, taking such big responsibility and yet... No one can really see that they're hurting... You turn to Mirabel and you saw her face, filled with determination. "I will save the miracle." Mirabel said as the both of you returned to her room to get dressed but when she was about to leave, you stopped her, "Wait Mira. How do we save the miracle?" You said as Mirabel just stared at you, "Whoa whoa whoa, wait a minute. What do you mean 'WE'?" Mirabel said as you scratch your head, "Mira, you can't do this by yourself!" You said as Casita's tile inside the room click clack meaning that it agrees onto what you said. "But Y/N..." Mirabel wanted to protest but you stopped her, "Mirabel, I'm going to help you... Whether you like it or not." You said as Mirabel sighs and nodded with you having a big smile about it. "Now, we have to find out what's happening to the miracle first before we figure out how to save it." You suggested as the windows of Casita clapped then stopped, "Oh, I have no idea. But there is one person in this family who hears everything about everything. So, if anyone would know what's wrong with the magic..." Mirabel said taking the picture frame on her desk to let you see it and you saw a particular person. You smirked, "Yep..." You said as you both smile to each other.

"It's her..."
