chapter eleven - just matchmaking and silly photos

after everything, the madrigales we're looking over the home, while camila ran down to the village, past the villagers, bumping into children on the way. she burst through the door of her home. "mija, are you alright?" her mamí asked her when she saw her face. "a bunch of shit just happened to me, but a story for later. abuelita, do you still have those tools in the back shed?" she asked her grandmother.

"claro que si," she answered, putting down her knitting needles. "okay, abuela, please go grab the tools, the casita fell down, I almost died, a bunch of cool stuff." "wha-" her mother tried to interject. "I'm good, found out I can shape shift into animals as well! anyway, mamí, what I need for you is to go spread the news, por favor." her mami nodded, putting down her knife and wiping her hands on her apron as she walked towards the door, kissing her daughter on the head as she walked by.

"manuel, pablo, yo loverbirds," she called to her siblings and bestfriend. "go grab other people to come and help us." they nodded and rushed out of the home. "and xiomara, valentina, lucia, please go grab the twins and head to the casita. isabela and luisa need your moral support right now." they nodded, running up the stairs. poking her head out the door and out to the street, she yelled after her older brother, "and yo, manuel!" her eldest brother turned around. "hurry up! mirabel's looking forward to seeing you." she watched her brothers cheeks heat up with a smirk, before rushing back to the casita.

she saw her abuela and others carrying tools with smiles as soon as she got up to the casita. "I got some people." she admitted sheepishly, gesturing to the half of the town. "manuel and tony are grabbing some more people." camilo walked over and grabbed her face, kissing her cheek. "amazing, I tell you." he shook his head. "I have the best girlfriend in the world." he stated, getting a few shocked faces from the madrigales.

"girlfriend?" pepa asked in shock. "not suprised," dolores shrugged. "pay up." she opened her palm to her parents and uncle, in which they all rolled their eyes and each took a $20 bill out of their pockets, slapping it in their daughters/nieces hand. "a new sister!" antonio jumped around excitedly. "aw, you kiddos are so cute." bruno commented. "bruno? you're back?" camila grinned. "bring it in, kid." he said, waving her over. as they hugged, "ah, buen trabajo, mijo (good job, son!)!" felix smiled, patting him on the back.

"thanks, I have a good guide." the father and son grinned at each other, hugging one another.

lucia, xiomara, and valentina rushed up the mountain, xiomara proudly carrying each other the twins. lucia rushed to luisa, a huge smile graving luisa's face seeing her, hugging each other tightly, and when isabela saw valentina, she didn't just hug her, she kissed her. the whole village gasped and camila laughed and fist pumped with herself. manuel walked up the mountain as well, following mamí, and when he saw mirabel, both of their eyes lit up, running up to eachother. "hi," she greeted awkwardly. "hola," manuel smiled, before they both hugged each other.

abuela violeta yelled, "is the whole gracia family and madrigal family just hookin' up now?!"

the village laughed.

<3

for the next couple days, the whole village (including bruno) helped remake the casita. throughout the process, manuel and mirabel bonded, valentina and isabel became a couple, luisa asked lucia out on a date with camila's encouragement, xiomara and antonio met and became friends quickly ("probably the new camilo and camila." dolores quoted), and speaking of dolores, she was now dating the guzman son, and camilo and camila were still them. best friends. partners. girlfriend and boyfriend.

"I am so good at match making," camila sighed as she and camilo swept the floors of the new casita. "you really are. your main targets are madrigales, eh?" "hey, they all have trauma, and gracia's are hopeless romantics. what more could you want?" camila shrugged. "hey I'm not complaining." camilo pulled camila in from her waist, kissing her cheek. "whatever," camila rolled her eyes, cupping his cheek as he kissed her cheek.

later on, mirabel's doorknob was put into the door and the whole family (including camila) showed up on the door. "yo, bruno, nice to see you out of the walls, man." bruno smiled at the girl, hugging her. "nice to see you too, cami."

the floor dragged the family in, and antonio ran around with his leopard and camila (in leopard form).

the casita squeezed the family and camila in for a picture, and at the last second, the floor squeezed everyone together, camilo dipped camila, and antonio ran in front of the camera with his leopard.

and it was still a cute photo to cherish.

"maybe you did do something there, abuela alma."
