Sick Of Miracles [Discontinued?]

Start of the Chameleon's Dress

Hi sorry to interrupt your reading but if you wanna see the dress, it's the picture at the top. You can also leave it up to your imagination. Back to your regularly scheduled reading.

"Oh! And chameleons on the bottom of the dress with some of my family's own like, symbols on it." Said Camilo, his uncle drawing and coloring in the details with a careful and quick hand.

After a good minute, with Mirabel making Camilo pick between the many hues of yellow fabric for the dress, Bruno grinned and showed his niece and nephew his drawing. "Ta-da!" He said, grinning and showing off his drawing like a child would.

The teenagers marveled at the drawing, amazed with all of it's intricate details and beautiful colors. "It's perfect!" Said Camilo, getting up from his seat and hugging his tío. Bruno, who definitely didn't expect this, took a second before hugging back.

Mirabel picked up the drawing and folded it, folding in the fabrics Camilo chose and stuffing it in her bag. After the two Madrigals stopped hugging, Mirabel and Camilo headed to the door, Bruno ready to see them out.

"Well, this was great." Said Bruno, hugging Mirabel and Camilo before letting them go. "Yeah! I didn't realize my Tío Bruno was amazing!" Said Camilo, rocking on his heels. "That's a bit over the top, mi sobrino." Said Bruno, pulling up his hood.

"Well, it's getting a bit late so it's good if we leave because, dinner is soon Cami." Said Mirabel, a bit of a sad tone in her voice. Bruno smiled, patting Mirabel's head. "Tell me if dinner was good, alright? And leave a plate for me. I'll drop by the kitchen at midnight or later." Said Bruno, leaning on the old doorframe.

"Got it. See ya Tío." Said the cousins, waving goodbye. Bruno waved goodbye to them as well before closing the door.

"I wonder what's for dinner?" Asked Camilo, skipping a bit. "We can just ask Mama." Said Mirabel.

Turns out, they didn't have to. Dinner wasn't even getting prepared. The ones who had been doing their daily chores just got back, having all brought lunches with them.

"Well, that means I have time to start on this." Said Mirabel, patting her bag. "How can I help?" Asked Camilo, nearly bursting from excitement. "Calm down, is one of them. The second one is do as I tell you." Upon the first sentence, Camilo stopped rocking back and forth.

"Alright, let's go Cami cameleón." Said Mirabel, grabbing her cousin's arm and rushing the both of them up the stairs.

"Okay! What now?" Asked Camilo, just watching Mirabel take out her measuring tape. "Now, I measure your dimensions so I can make this beautiful dress." Said Mirabel, posing Camilo so he looked like the letter T and checking his measurements.

After a few minutes, Mirabel let Camilo sit down and she started working on the the layout of the dress. "This is so exciting. Are you excited? Am I the only one excited?" Ranted Camilo, shifting randomly into Mirabel, Bruno, then back to himself at random intervals.

"Woah! Calm down Cami. This dress is probably gonna take weeks! Days if you don't include the fact that I need to eat and sleep." Said Mirabel, holding out the layout to get a better look at it. Camilo sighed. "You're right. Just tell me anything I can do to help."

"You can bring me my dinner, so I can work on this." Said Mirabel, looking once more at her Tío's design and drawing it onto the fabric with tailor's chalk. "On it!" Says Camilo, running off downstairs. Mirabel shook her head at her cousin's antics before focusing once more at the task at hand.

A few minutes passed, and Mirabel already got 1/5 of the entire dress. It was a complicated dress with a lot of tassels and designs, give her a break. A rhythmic knock on the door signalled that Camilo was there, probably with a plate or bowl of food. "Come in!" Said Mirabel, working on the bottom of the dress, when a bowl of Arroz con Coco Titoté was placed just within her eyesight.

She looked up to see her dad, looking at the drawing for the dress. "Pa!" Said Mirabel, standing up in a slightly pathetic attempt to cover the drawing. "Hey Miraboo." Greeted Agustin to his youngest, stepping back when Mirabel shot up.

"What's that you're hiding huh?" Asked Agustin, trying to peer behind Mirabel to see Bruno's drawing. "It's nothing Papi! Just go downstairs, and eat with the family. I promised Camilo I'd get this finished quick." Said Mirabel, scooting Agustin out of the nursery.

"Bruno's really good at drawing, huh?" Said Agustin, making Mirabel freeze and glare at him. "Are you kidding me Camilo?" She said, clearly annoyed.

"Wow, took ya long enough Mira." Said "Agustin", grinning before shape shifting back into Camilo. Mirabel glared at her prankster cousin before sitting back down at her sewing table and grabbing the bowl and eating.

"C'mon, I was just joking you." Said Camilo, sitting down on the floor beside the sewing bench. "Well, one prank equals one more day on working on the dress." Said Mirabel, making Camilo's mood sink a little. "You're joking, right?" Asked Camilo, sweating a bit.

"Nope. So if you want this dress done, you'll leave me out of your pranks." Said Mirabel. She was joking of course, but Camilo didn't know that and he probably never will. "Noted." Said Camilo, shifting a little in his place on the floor.

After Mirabel finished eating, she went right back to work, and at midnight, she already finished the base of the dress, the basic colors and general design of the dress on. "It looks great Mira!" Said Camilo after being woken up by Mirabel, admiring the dress from all angles.

"Why thank you but right now, I need sleep." Said Mirabel, stretching her arms and yawning. "You really should. It's almost 3 am actually." Said Camilo, glancing at the clock Casita moved closer to the candle.

"Yeah, I should. Your choice to sleep here or not." Said Mirabel, removing her glasses and flopping onto the bed, not even getting undressed. Camilo stood there for a good minute before shrugging and flopping onto the empty bed adjacent to Mirabel's. "Buenas noches mi prima mariposa."

"Buenas noches mi primo cameleón."
