"Señora Julieta, is it really okay for me to eat with you all? I mean I haven't been here long and if feels like I'm intruding." You help the older woman set up on the table.
"What? No way! Our family will be very pleased to have you. If you feel bad, I could always get you to slave away in the kitchen, but today, you and your mother are our guest." She takes a hand and pats your shoulder. The feeling of anxiety you had suddenly washed away.
"Okay. Thank you." You continue to help set up
"Please, just call me Julieta, Señora makes me feel old hahaha!" She nudged you and you both laugh a bit. "You can play the guitar right?"
" I can. Did my mom tell you?"
"No, I saw the case with all of your items. My daughter Louisa found you when she was helping with a run away donkey. Took all of your stuff here by herself!"
"That's alot! I really have to thank her." You finish up the last plate and start setting up the utensils. After your finished, you turn to Julieta. "I'm finished."
"That's good, I just about finished the food too. Delores should be telling everyone that dinner is ready now, so we should be expecting everyone soon."
"Thanks again."
"No problem! This seat is for you, and this one is for your mom. It might take a bit for them to get here, so don't wait up for us okay?" Julieta sat you on a seat and left the room. You felt your back crawl, was someone looking at you? You need to calm yourself... Let's try this.
"Umm... Casita..?" You say to the floor, the tiles move around in response. "Do you mind getting me my guitar? Please?"
The house shudders in response. After a few seconds, the house delivers your case to your feet.
"Woah! Thanks Casita. Your so cool! Your totally my favorite Madrigal!" The house looks happy. "Do you want to hear a song?"
The tiles move around. It looks like it wants to hear.
You start to strum the strings
"You are my light
You are my dark
You are my day
You are my night
You are my life
You are my heart
So why do you let yourself fall apart?I've looking at you
Staring out the window
Your sitting right there
Yet your mind is so far awayI tired to ask you
What do you dream of?
But you always laugh my ask away
and say that your okay.You are my light
You are my dark
You are my day
You are my night
You are my life
You are my heart
But why are you falling apart?
Why are you breaking yourself apart?
Why are you beating yourself up?
Why can't you just see how see you?
So, why do you break yourself apart?"The doors of the building open like someone who's jaw dropped. It freaks out. You think it likes it.
"It's just a demo, but I think it would be a nice single to put out. I'm glad you like it Casita!" You continue to strum the cords as him your tune.
"Hey, I heard that song just now." A buff lady comes into the room. Her hair swept into a ponytail "I'm glad your okay. I'm Louisa. I found you in the forest, hope your not to shaken up by the, 'passing out in the forest' thing."
She comes thumping in and sitting at a seat.
"I'm fine! Thank you so much for helping me out! I really appreciate it! If there's anything I can do to make it up to you please tell me." You smile at her and looks at you a bit shocked.
"I bet your the stubborn type. It was really no big of a deal, but if you insist, I'd like to hear more of your playing. It makes me feel vulnerable." She leans back into her seat. You nod and start to strum your strings.
Soon, you get aquatinted with The All Hearing Delores, The Shape Shifter Camelio, The Animal Whisper Antonio, The Weather Forecast Pepa, And her husband, Husband Felix. You also get to meet Not-So Princesa Perfecta Isabella, Normal Mirabel, Strong Louisa, Mother Julieta, and of course Husband Agustín.
"He's late! He should be here now but he's LATE. Today of all days! When we have company!!" Pepa fidgets in her seat. A cloud starts to form over her head. Felix puts his hand on her back; trying to calm her down.
"Mi sol, I'm sure he will get here soon! Don't worry. Remember, clear skies."
"Right right... Clear skies... Clear skies..." The clouds starts to fade as she calms down.
A woman in purple comes in with your mother. Everyone stands up and starts to welcome the too.
"Aieeee! Mi bebé! I haven't seen you in YEARS!" Your mother comes over to you in a hug. Her curly hair sprawling all over the place.
"Hey Ma. It's been a while, hasn't it?" You pay her back and she pulls away. She starts to kiss your face. "M-Ma... That's embarrassing..."
She laughs and slaps your back "Nonsense! You need a bit of motherly love!" You shake your head and she claims a seat next to yours as the elderly woman introduces herself.
"My name is Alma, but feel free to call me Abuela like everyone else. Casita! Bring in the food!" The house rattles and groans as the food rushes on the floor and launches on the table.
It's a spectacle, really, seeing a house serve itself. "Please, dig in." The family starts to pass the food around to each other. You and your mother pick at what you both can. The families food fills your plate as you get more food than you ever thought you could eat.
"Hey everyone, sorry I'm late. Another goldfish died and it was Bruno's fault. Again!- uhhh. Who the girl?" A man in green comes in. His clothes were worn and his hair was in an orderly mess. His beard was unkept as he scratched it and sat down at the table.
"This is Missa's Daughter, Bruno." Abuela shoots him a look and he flinches. He gets on his best behavior mode.
"Riiiight. Sorry I was late." He started to dig into his food.
"Thank you for inviting us over. I'm forever in your debt for saving Y/N's life. If you ever need anything ANYTHING. Just ask me." You mother smiles at the family.
"Don't worry, we don't mind helping out the community with our gifts." Abuela says in a smile as well.
After the dinner you and your mother step out of the house. The Casita gives your a wave away with the rest of the family who stood at the door. The warmth of the place was nice.
"Ma, why did you ask for me to come? You said it was an emergency right?" You walked behind your mother and turned to look at you.
"We can talk about this at home."
"Uh... Yes ma'am..." She turns back around and you follow her to your childhood home. You haven't been here in ages.
"Come in Y/N! Your not a stranger." She opens the door for you as you walk in. It hasn't changed a bit.
