Y/n's POV

As me and Mirabel stand on the corridor looking at Bruno, he is getting ready to leave us. He wishes us luck as we say goodbye to him.

"Y/n? Do me a favour. Come visit after all this? Bruno then looked at Mirabel. "And you, kiddo" He smiled as I say back "No, once we're done, you're coming home" He smiled when he saw both of us nod at each other. He then sat in the frame of the painting, knocked on the wall, held his breath and crossed his fingers then fell backwards.

Me and Mirabel then made our way to Isabela's room. Once we were in there Isabela was nowhere to be seen. "Y/n" Mirabel pointed over to Isabela's bed. She then came down slowly telling us to 'get out'.

"We should just let all this anger out... and hug" Mirabel started to walk towards Isabela.

"You have ruined my life. I want to hear you apologise." Isabela looked at Mirabel and crossed her arms. "Go on, apologise..." She looked at Mirabel in a way that said you know you won't.

"Okay. I'm sorry... that your life is SO perfect! And I'm sorry that you're such a self entitled princess!"

Isabela looked at Mirabel in shock as she attached a branch to her leg. " 'Bela, wait! Stop" I tried to stop her but she put a vine on my wrist and pulled me onto my knees, dragging me out with it.

"I didn't want to marry him, I WAS DOING IT FOR THE FAMILY!"

Mirabel and Isabela argued until Isabela made a... cactus? Out of anger.. she stood there for a second.

"I just made something unexpected
Something sharp. Something new" Isabela started, picking up the cactus. "It's not symmetrical or perfect"

"But it's beautiful and it's mine. What else can I do?"

"Bring it in, bring it in. Good talk, bring it in, bring it in" Mirabel hurried towards her as I stumbled behind.

"what else can I do?"

"Let's walk, bring it in, bring it in
Free hugs, bring it in, bring it in" I stepped behind Mirabel as she tried to hug Isabela.

"I grow rows and rows of roses. Flor de mayo. By the mile"

"I make perfect, practiced poses. So much hides behind my smile"Isabela had made a lot of flower statues of herself. Lot of free time.

"What could I do if I just grew what I was feeling in the moment?"

"Do you know where you're going? Whoa"

"What could I do if I just knew it didn't need to be perfect?. It just needed to be? And they let me be?"

"A hurricane of jacarandas. Strangling. figs (big, big). Hanging vines (this is fine). Palma de cera fills the air as I climb. And I push through"

What else can I do?. Can I deliver us a river of sundew?" She pulled me away from a deadly plant as her and Mirabel stood safely on top of a tree that she had crafted. "Careful, it's carnivorous, a little just won't do. I wanna feel the shiver of something new"

"I'm so sick of pretty. I want something true, don't you?. You just seem like your life's been a dream. Since the moment you opened your eyes"

"(How far do these roots go down?). All I know are the blossoms you grow. But it's awesome to see how you rise. How far can I rise?. Through the roof, to the skies"

"Let's go! A hurricane of jacarandas. Strangling figs. Hanging vine. Palma de Cera fills the air as I climb. And I push through. What else, what else?"

"What can you do when you are deeply, madly, truly in the moment? Seize the moment, keep goin'.  What can you do when you know who you wanna be is imperfect?"

"But I'll still be okay. Hey, everybody clear the way, whoo! I'm coming through with tabebuia (she's coming through with tabebuia)"

"Making waves (making waves)
Changing minds (you've changed mine). The way is clearer 'cause you're here, and well. I owe this all to you." Isabela pulled Mirabel into a hug in front of the canldle and it lit brighter than they ever saw it. "What else can I do? Show 'em what you can do"

"What else can I do? There's nothing you can't do. What else can I do?"

Me, Mirabel and Isabela all fell down onto a pile of flowers and laughed from what had just happened. At that moment however, Abuela ran in and started yelling. We all stood up as I ran over to Camilo who was now stood by the banister of the stairs.

"What are you doing?! Isabela! What happened to you?! What have you done Mirabel!?" I saw Abuela start to get angry. Isabela backed off and stood with Luisa.

Thats when they started...
