"We're moving?!" Alastair exclaim. Holding the tired 5 year old.

"Yes! We're moving to Colombia! Mama Sofía just sent me a letter, it's gonna be a long travel, but we'll get there. Plus I can't wait to see the Madrigals again!" Mariana exclaim with bright beaming eyes, Andres making the milk for the twins in the nursery. The two had been close family friends with the Madrigals, and Mariana is close with Pepa, while Andres is close with Bruno and Julieta.

"...It's 7 am mama." (Y/n) said, clearly tired and annoyed, and it was silent for a few seconds, before Andres let out a laugh about (Y/n)'s sass.

"Well, it is a bit too early for the kids mahal. Maybe tell them when they're energetic?" Andres said, and Mariana laughed.

"Sorry! I got too ahead of myself!" Mariana exclaim, Alastair was just standing there confused.

"I'm going back to bed." The girl said, going back to her own room and sleeping the morning away.

Once everyone was awake and having breakfast, Mariana clapped her hands to gather everyone's attention, and before the messy food fight starts.

"Everyone! I have an announcement!" Mariana exclaim, standing up. Everyone turns to her. "We're moving to Colombia!" She exclaim, Alastair lightly cheered.

"Moving?! What about my friends here?! I-I can't leave them!" (Y/n) protests, in reality they're just scared of moving in general.

"New house?" Estrella ask, tilting her head.

"Mhm! New house! And new country! (Y/n), don't worry! We have family friends there, everything will be fine anak." Mariana said and went to the 5 year old girl, comforting the terrified girl.

Soon enough, they got there and met with their Abuela Sofía, who's house is big enough to fit around 15-20 people, she made it especially big because she just know she's gonna have a lot of grandkids. The kids pick their room, (Y/n) picking the room closest to the stairs to the rooftop. They're gonna be there a lot.

"So, how are you liking your new room mariposa?" Andres ask, leaning to the doorframe, watching his oldest daughter run around with her sketchbook, probably designing how her room can be.

"It's big!" They just exclaim and look at their father with big eyes. He laughed and went in the room, crouching down in front of them.

"Tell you what, the rooftop that you manage to find? Yeah it's all yours, your siblings doesn't know about that yet, so how about let's start buying what you need hm? You're the only one awake still after all." Andres said. Off the the marketplace they went, (Y/n) noticed how happy, cheerful, and friendly the people are, it's like everyone knew each other. They saw some kids playing around, but still was anxious to communicate so they just bought decorations.

"Papa! Papa! Art set!" (Y/n) exclaim, seeing the displays of canvas and paints, tugging Andres' pants.

"Alright mariposa. Come on." Andres said. He bought them an easel, paint with the whole color scheme, a palette, and brush sets. The father daughter duo decorated their places the whole day, their room looks plain and boring, but the rooftop is a comfort zone, one side of the rooftop is shaded, and one side is not, mostly used for formal events and family dinners, especially used when someone has another family coming by. The shaded part is full of their art supplies, sketching books, the paint set they just bought, and her chair is an egg shaped hanging chair, so she can paint, or relax, or even sleep in it.

Finally the next day came, and the family was getting ready to meet the famous Madrigals. Mariana basically bouncing in joy. Once they got there, it was like a reunion.

"Pepa!!" Mariana exclaim, once she saw the familiar red head. Pepa turns and a rainbow appears on her head.

"Mariana! It's been so long!!" Pepa exclaim and the two hugged, reuniting.

"She never changed about being excited all the time huh?" Bruno said, as Andres laughed and nodded, hugging Bruno, and greeting Julieta and her husband, Agustin.

"Ooh! That's Alastair right? And is that (Y/n)?! Oh they're all grown up! I see you had three more hm?" Pepa said, bumping her hip with Mariana.

"Mhm! This is Estrella, and these twins are Marisol and Marcelo!" Mariana cheerfully introduced.

"Oh you should see my kids and nieces! Kids! Come down we want you to meet someone!!" Pepa exclaim, soon a bunch of kids came down.

"Everyone, meet the Magindaras! Mama will be home in a few minutes." Julieta said. The Madrigal kids greet the family, Alastair and Estrella greeting them back. (Y/n) was too shy and was just hiding behind their mother.

"Okay you kids, how about you all play? Look (Y/n)! That's Camilo and Mirabel, they're both your age so you three will get along just well. I promise." Andres said, looking over to (Y/n).

"Yeah, and also Don't worry (Y/n), your kuya Alastair is always here for you, don't forget that." Alastair said, taking her hand. The adults left, Mariana bringing the twins with her and surprise surprise, they all actually got along. The Madrigal kids explain about their powers and showed it to them, except Mirabel. They didn't ask though.

"Hey (Y/n)." Isabela said, they turned to her, only to be showered in pink, red, and white flowers. "I knew pink suits you! So I made you a flower crown!" Isabela said, (Y/n) gasped, looking up slightly to see the flower crown of roses.

"Hey Camilo, why won't you match with her!" Isabela exclaim before throwing her hand up to the boy, and he also got the same set of red flower crown.

"It surprisingly suits your eyes!" (Y/n) exclaim, and Camilo laughed.

"Everything suits me, Mariposa." Camilo said, being overconfident before his sister interrupted.

"The short hair isn't though." Dolores said before Camilo starts trying to get her to be quiet, in result of laughing.

Everything will go well from this beginning.

Sorry if the chapter is a bit wonky with little dialogue, or too much dialogue or too much description, or whatever. It's 4:23 am by the time I'm writing this and I'm just trying to do something that gets over my insomnia and get me to sleep.

Well still I hope you like this chapter though, it's a start of a new friendship :)

And yes you'll be close with Isabela because Isabela is amazing without pressure.
