felix picked up a book called 'a second chance- which had a 5ish looking mirabel on it.
"Mirabel walked around aimlessly, trying to ignore the music and laughter coming from Antonio's room. She peered into the room from downstairs, since his door was left wide open. She frowned watching everyone celebrate.
Now she'll be all alone in the nursery. And Antonio will have to constantly be around town, so she won't have anyone to comfort her when she was sad or frustrated. Now she was alone.
She loved her family. More than anything. But she couldn't help but feel they didn't love her the same.
Her mamá and papa love her, of course. And Antonio loves her. For now, at least. Luisa loves her. Well, she likes her enough to not glare at her all the time unlike Isabela.
She used to be close with Camilo, until he got his gift and strayed away from her. She hopes he still loves her and remembers the times they had together.
She didn't know if Dolores really cared for her. She doesn't necessarily have anything against Dolores, and as far as she knows, Dolores doesn't have anything against her.
Her tío Félix.. Hm. maybe. He definitely doesn't dislike her. Tía Pepa loves her. At least a little bit.
But she knew Abuela didn't love her. And thats the reason why she has doubts on what the rest of the family thinks of her. Abuela says or does something and everyone follows.
She was knocked out of her thoughts when a clank sound came from near the wall. She looked up towards the sound, and found a small tile on the floor.
"Casita?" She whispered as she slowly walked to the tile. She picked it up, cutting her hand on the sharp edge.
"Ow!" She started to stand up to tell her family and get an arepa, when suddenly she felt really dizzy.
"Casita.. Help.." She choked out before collapsing"
"i wonder what's happening" mirabel asked herself.
Julieta took the book. "only one way to find out" she said.
"Casita waved its floors and its tiles, trying to get someones attention. Casita was tired of the treatment Mirabel was getting, and how the family failed to see Mirabel's true purpose. So it turned her back into a four year old, giving them the opportunity to try again.
Little Mirabel sat on floor, confused and scared. Wheres her family? Why is Casita rattling the floor and walls so aggressively.
"Hello..?" She called out, hoping someone would hear. She noticed a door open, leading into a jungle, where there was.. A party? Who's room was that, and what are they celebrating?
"Mamí? Papí? Anyone?" She called, too scared to go into the party incase she couldn't find her family in the crowd.

Dolores looked around for someone in a panic. It felt like all her family had just disappeared now that she was trying to find them. Then she spotted Isabela and Luisa.
"Isa! Luisa!" She said as she ran up to them.
"Hm? Are you okay?" Isabela asked, slightly concerned.
Dolores sputtered out something that Isabela and Luisa couldn't understand.
"Qué?" Luisa said, also concerned on what had made Dolores so panicked.
"One of casita's tiles fell and when Mirabel picked it up it turned her into a four year old again!" Dolores said, much clearer this time.
