Miss Headache

Fiesta

The girls returned home and brought back the clothes that they'd be wearing in their stay as well as clothes for the party at the Madrigals.

"A magic fiesta from the magic familia in a magic casa! Can you believe it, Lisa!?" Karina said in excitement.

"I prefer the sound of gift. Sounds less immature. Personal opinion, of course. No offense." Said Elizabeth.

"Oh! Oh! Do you think I could find myself a boyfriend there? I heard parties are the best places for that!"

"Calm down, Karina. You don't need to rush. You have your entire life to find a boyfriend. Beside, we're only 18. We're barely adults."

"But I want a boyfriend now! Can you see how boys look at me? They all seem to want to avoid me!"

"Technically, everyone wants to avoid you and I guess they feel threatened by your impulsive behaviour." Elizabeth stated.

*knock knock*

"Karina? Are you done yet? If we don't go now, we might not arrive before the party starts." Said Karina's sister behind the door.

"Yep! We're done! Let's go Lizabetha!" Karina said as she dragged Elizabeth out.

"Just how many nickname do you plan on giving me?" Elizabeth questioned.

"A bajillion!"

----------

Elizabeth and the sisters arrived to the party.

"Dios mío! I. Am. So. Excited!" Karina exclaimed as the girl approaches Casita.

Elizabeth notices Karina's sister's nervousness. It was as if she was deaf from a thunderstorm and blinded from a cloudy atmosphere and an unending rain that keeps blurring her sight.

"It's going to be okay. The party is going to be fun and you and your sister will bond again, I'm sure." Said Elizabeth. "Perhaps not necessarily tonight but sooner or later, you will bond again. If you can't even enjoy it yourself then there'd be no point coming. So try to have fun, will ya? I'll make sure to look out for your sister, so don't worry much. You know. I still haven't known your name-" As Elizabeth was comforting Karina's sister, Karina dragged them inside.

Her sister felt relieved holding her sister's hand.

----------

-flashback-

"Sister is shy and very scaredy cat but that's okay! Because Karina is fearless! Karina will protect sister and no matter what she goes through, Karina will go with her! Sister promise!" Karina said holding her sister's hand.

"You promise to never let go?" Her sister asked.

"Yup! And I promise I would never leave you behind!"

----------

-end of flashback-

The girls went to the entrance and was greeted by Casita. The house's tiles slid them inside as Karina cheered over how fun it was. Her sister scared held onto her arm as Elizabeth tried not to lose balance from the unusual tile movements.

Karina saw Isabela and Luisa and decided to greet them. Her sister was dragged along as she was holding her hand.

"Hola, Isabela! Hola Luisa! We've met Mirabel and learnt about how awesome your family is! You're all so awesome! Can you- can you show us your gift? Please! Please! Please!" Karina begged as she jumped up and down with her sister on her arm.

Karina then notices Pepa, Bruno and Julieta and she rushed to them. Her sister who was holding her hand almost lost her grip but was able to keep up with her.

"You must be Pepa, Bruno and Julieta, right! I heard about you and dios mío! You're all so fantastico! You can see future right, Bruno? Can you see my future?!"

Karina then sees Dolores and Antonio and ran to them quickly through the crowd as her sister couldn't push through the crowd, she was left behind.

"Karina!" Her sister called but wasn't heard and couldn't be seen. She ran through the crowd trying to find her but found herself in a different part of the room. She was lost and scared but she remind herself of what Elizabeth told her. "I can't enjoy myself if all I do is clinging on Karina, can't I? I should try to have fun."

The timid girl tries conversing with people but no one notices her trying to start a conversation nor could they hear her mumbling voice.

She then decide to get some food. The food was delicious but she was too shy to get more than one arepa.

"If Karina was there, she wouldn't be afraid to get more than what she could eat and stuff herself. And I would eat her left-overs. Sometime I wonder if she intentionally got more than she needed just for me."

And for the last challenge of having fun in a party, she'd have to go to the dance floor and dance among people. She approached the floor but was unable to join in. She couldn't dance. She couldn't hear the music. She couldn't see the ground. She felt anxiety as dark clouds blocked her view. The loud thunderstorm hidding the sound of the music. Only a lost feeling left in her mind. She was all alone among strangers and inside a storm she couldn't see through. The rain had began to pour down as well as her tears.

But then, through the storm of people, she saw Karina. She approached her sister and held her hand shyly.

"Karina. You said you wouldn't let my hand go." She whimpered.

As the clouds dissipated in her head, she looked at the dancing people and saw her sister dancing like crazy in the center. She shrieked and let go her hand of the stranger who she now sees as a boy with fluffy hair who was wearing a yellow ruana. Camilo Madrigal.

As she was going to go to her sister, a hand grabbed hers.

"Hey, why leaving so fast?" Said the boy.

"(BOI, DON'T TOUCH ME-)"

She pulled her hand away from Camilo who had released it as she awaits for what he had to say. "Hey, I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean to make you confuse me with someone you know. But is everything alright?"

"I'm... I'm alright. I'm just not much of a party person." She replied hesitating if she should stay to not be rude or excuse herself, while sneaking away little by little.

"What's your name?"

"I-" Before she could reply, Karina came rushing and held Camilo's hand.

"Hola! That's airhead and I'm Karina Martinez! You're Camilo Madrigal, right? I heard you could shapeshift! That's sound so cool! Can you shapeshift right now?!"

The timid girl sat in the corner of the house as an arepa was handed to her.

"Hey. I'm Roberto. What's yours?"

She accepted the arepa.

"Mira...sol."
