Encanto: Por el Amor de La Familia Madrigal

Chapter 7 - Pepa, Bruno and Julieta

Note: Sorry about the writer's block. I was debating about my ideas for the chapters. Thank you, everyone!

Everybody in town witnessed what happened to Mirabel with a donkey.

They are puzzled about the missing cart.

The Madrigal children are scared to death at first. Then, they are soothed that their tio saved her.

Bruno brought his sobrina by horseback back to the casita. Luisa helped her hermana off the brown horse. She hugged Mirabel in her big arms. Poor Luisa cries for her hermana. She was just happy that Mirabel's alright. Their tio gets out of it awkwardly. He falls down from the brown horse again.

Julieta embraces Mirabel for awhile. She comforts her daughter. Mirabel had a frightful day of her life. She sobs on her mother. "Mama...Isa's somewhere out there...I thought..." Mirabel whispers. She sniffs.

Julieta expresses her bewilderment. "You thought what, carino?" She wondered.

Mirabel sighs emotionally. "I thought I heard my sister telling me to 'Get off the cart'." She replied.

Bruno became astonished.

Julieta glances at her youngest hermano.

He glanced back at his hermana.

Is Isabela really still in Encanto somewhere?! Was she trying to rescue her sister from the runaway donkey cart?! If Mirabel believes that Isabela IS somewhere around here, then someone has to find her no matter what happens.

Julieta glimpses at her daughter. She gets solemn. "Are you sure it was Isabela who said that to you?" Julieta asked.

Mirabel does not lie. "I think Isa was trying to help me." She believed.

———————————————————————————

In the near nightfall, Julieta invited Pepa and Bruno over to the kitchen.

The townsfolk headed their homes after today's helping work with the Madrigals.

Whatever occurs with the missing donkey riding a cart is a mystery.

Will Mirabel be okay after her near-death experience with a runaway donkey cart?! She just had an unexpected day. Luisa was in relief that her sister was unharmed. She can't resume to the donkey barn afterwards. Luisa seems afraid to lose another hermana after Isabela. Mirabel's cousins checks up on her. Dolores was glad to see her prima in the nursery room. She's actually gladder that Mirabel is in one piece. Camilo looked pitiful. He ran to her for a hug. His prima hugs him back. Poor Camilo was worried sick. Mirabel appreciates his sympathy. Antonio hops on his prima's bed. He brought out his stuffed leopard toy. She pulls out her stuffed toucan toy. Antonio wants to play with his prima. Mirabel seemed to love his idea.

Bruno and Pepa arrived in the kitchen. They glimpsed at Julieta.

Pepa doesn't get it. "Julieta, what's the matter this time?" She inquired.

Julieta faced her youngest hermano.

He encounters his hermana. Bruno nodded his head melancholy.

Julieta nods her head back at him. She faces her eldest hermana. "Mirabel thinks Isabela is still in Encanto." Julieta uttered.

Pepa don't buy her belief. "We don't talk about Isabela." She argued.

He gets disbelieved.

Julieta was dismayed.

First, his mother told her only hijo to step aside. Because his gift wasn't helping his family. Abuela Alma put Mirabel under quarantined in her bedroom. Because his sobrina didn't get a gift. And then, how Isabela departed the casita. Because his mother set her up for arranged marriage with Mariano Guzman.

Bruno shook his head a few times. He became resolute at his eldest hermana. "Pepa, there IS a lot to say about Isabela." Bruno argues back.

Julieta and Pepa looks at their youngest hermano overwhelmingly.

"She made a decision for herself. I have no clue Isabela can grow cactuses ten years back. That's why she asked ME for her another vision. Our mama set her up for arranged marriage. Isabela chose to be true instead of perfecta for Mariano." He added, getting solemn. "And Mirabel wanted to help her sister. And now that Isabela vanished without a word, she wants to bring her back home. Mirabel still would have if it wasn't for today's disaster. I got scared of losing her again. I think Isabela and I both saved Mirabel. She might not be around when that happened. It proved that Isabela loved her sister." Bruno said.

Pepa gets astonished. "You're crazy!" She exclaimed.

Julieta sighs pleasingly. "Our hermano's not wrong." She aforesaid.

He made a sad smile at Julieta.

Pepa glanced at her hermana bizarrely. "Are you serious about your daughter with flowers?!" She added, exclaiming. "Why?!" Pepa inquires.

Julieta did not changed her mind. "If Mirabel can sense her sister is still somewhere in Encanto, there's a chance to find Isabela." She said determinedly.

Pepa gets disbelieved.

Bruno became curious. "So the candle stopped working. We got no gifts of ourselves. The casita is a looking-vintage photo background. And Mirabel believed Isabela isn't really gone." He added, facing Julieta. "What are we going to do about our mama?" Bruno wondered.

His hermana shrugged. "There's only one thing that we can do by tomorrow morning." She added, becoming definite. "We're telling her that we go look for Isabela at dawn." Julieta said.
