Encanto: A New Start

New Bonds Building

I have read some pretty interesting theories about the movie on social media. I'm gonna try and put them on here as best as I can. If you want me to include something else, let me know.

Everyone was enjoying the party at the new rebuilt "Casita Madrigal". After the family picture was taken they all enjoyed themselves. Abuela Alma was talking to Bruno. Pepa and Felix were dancing while their children were mingling. Luisa was resting on a hammock while Isabella was making flowers and plants grow almost all over the house. Augustin and Julieta were watching happily as Maribel showed the town children the entrance door.

Maribel was proud of herself for doing that but had two questions. What did it mean that she was the one able to return the magic?? Why now and not when she was 5 years old??. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Isabella approaching Luisa's hammock. As they were talking they looked at the same direction and gasped. Mirabel wasn't sure what they were looking at. When they both giggled she went to investigate.

"Hey Luisa, Isabella" she greeted

"What?" They both said startled

"Oh hey sis" Luisa said turning pink

"What are you doing here?" Isabella asked nervously

"I was about to ask the same thing" Mirabel said "I find it hard to believe that you of all people aren't dancing around"

"She has entertainment of her own" her older sister teased

"Luisa!!" Isabella scolded "You're one to talk, you have been staring at Natalia since she walked in" she whispered

"Shut up!! We don't want Dolores to hear" Luisa said pulling Isabella into the hammock with her

"Whoa whoa whoa wait, Natalia?? The handyman's daughter??" Maribel whispered sitting on the other side of the hammock next to Luisa

"Yep, our sister here has had a crush on her since they were 15" Isabella said playfully

Maribel gasped "Oh my god"

"Speak for yourself sis, you didn't want to marry Mariano because you have a crush on Fiona" Luisa said to Isabella before turning to Maribel "She's the florist arrangements girl near the church. Isa grows the flowers and Fiona makes the bouquets and things" Luisa says glaring at her sister

"That's the real reason I didn't want to marry Mariano" Isabella says sadly "Go ahead, make fun us because we like girls"

"What??!! I'm not gonna make fun of you, you're my sisters. I support you" Mirabel says then Luisa brings them into a tight hug

"Thank you sis" Luisa said

"Sooo, when are you make a move?" Mirabel asked mischievous

"Are you crazy??!!" Isabella whispered "I'm not gonna go embarrassed myself in front of her"

"You won't embarrass yourself, you have excellent social skills" Maribel said

"This is different" Isabella told her

"Ugh!! Luisa?" Maribel asked her oldest sister

"I'm not going either, I don't know what to say" Luisa said

"Oh come on" Mirabel facepalmed then you took her two sisters arms "You are just gonna make friends other than the family members and you will succeed" she said and then pushed them towards Fiona and Natalia.

Maribel smiled victorious when she saw her sisters talking to their crushes and dropped on the hammock. She was startled by a voice "Hey mija" Julieta sat beside her

"Mamá hi" she said nervously

"I saw you talking with your sisters, I was surprised you didn't end up fighting" Julieta chuckled

"I think after what happened we have become closer sisters" she said smiling

"I'm proud of you mi vida" Julieta said hugging her daughter

"Thanks mom" Mirabel smiled

A while later Luisa and Isabella came rushing towards Maribel and their parents "Sis, guess what??" They both exclaimed

Agustín chuckled "What has gotten you so excited girls"

As they slowed down, they smiled "Isa honey, you're petaling like crazy" Julieta said worried "you're nervous or anxious?"

"Both" Isabella told her nervously "It's nothing we were just talking to Fiona and Natalia and we got invited to hang out with them"

"Making new friends you know" Luisa said also nervous

Julieta chuckled "Well that good but you can't forget to do your chores"

"We won't" they both said

"Mamá If there is anything I can do to help them finish faster than I'll do it. They won't go out until after" Maribel said

"Alright but not too late" Agustín cut in as he and Julieta walked away

The sisters turned to each other "Well?" Mirabel asked

"I asked Natalia to hang out tomorrow afternoon and she said yes!!!" Luisa whispered

"That's great!! And Isa?" The younger sister asked

"Well she asked me if we could go for a walk in the forest after we're done working" Isabella said "of course I said yes"

The three were lowly squealing excited "You know what that means? They like you!!!"

Luisa shushed Maribel "Id anyone finds out, I don't know what we'll do"

"Leave it to me, I think I got a few ideas" Maribel said

"Like what?" Isabella asked

"I can't say it now, let's meet up in the kitchen tonight" Maribel suggested

"Done" Isabella and Luisa said in unison

"Abuela!! Abuela!!" Antonio suddenly yelled while riding on his pet leopards back toward her

"Que pasa Toñito? What's going on?" She asked, everyone gathered around Antonio

Antonio was excitedly telling everyone "There are 10 glowing doors!! I remember there used to be 9 for each of us with gifts and now there's 10!! That means-"

"The last one is Maribels" Abuela Alma finished, her eyes wide. She looked at Maribel who was equally shocked.

"A door for me? How?" Maribel asked, everyone was looking at her. Her parents excited but worried so were Luisa and Isabella.

Alma walked to her then held her hands "Let's find out" she said "Casita help us out please" casita made a flight of stairs appear next to the door in the middle of the hallway. Abuela guided Maribel up the stairs, they were both nervous. When they stood near the door, abuela momentarily went to get the candle.

"I don't understand" Maribel asked abuela when she was back

"Another miracle" Alma said softly

Mirabel looked at the doorframe in wonder. Everyone around them were looking intensely at the moment.

A silence fell until abuela broke it "This doorframe is proof that miracles can still happen. The magic is giving us a second chance so we must take it" she said to the crowd then turned to her granddaughter "Mirabel, you brought this family back together and this is your reward. However, gift or no gift, you are still just as special" abuela smiled "Will you use your gift to honor our miracle? Will you serve this community and strengthen our home?"

Mirabel nodded and slowly touched the candle. Suddenly the candle burned brighter and touched the doorknob. Mirabel stood in the center, holding the candle inside a heart. The door had butterflies all over it, including the frame. All the family names surrounding her. It was similar to the front entrance but smaller, the crowd and family gasped. Mirabel was stunned and abuela smiled wider.

"We have a new gift" she said

Right then Mirabel heard a voice in her head "Hello Mariposa"
