A/N: Continuing off of "Saving Mirabel";
Once Dolores set Alma down, she finally understood what had happened. The Casita was in ruins, everybody was frantic, and she saw poor Mirabel. Oh, her granddaughter. So full of light and joy. And Alma extinguished it like the Candle. Mirabel had a depressed look in her eyes.
When Julieta walked away from Mirabel, Alma saw her granddaughter get up and look at the family. The two locked eyes and Mirabel's eyes welled up with endless tears. She then sprinted out of there.
After everybody left to find Mirabel, Alma got up and walked towards the path Mirabel took. And she knew where she was going to go.
As she walked she heard Pedro's soothing voice. Well, not soothing. More like stern.
"Alma.", Pedro said, stern. His spirit was there, glowing yellow and walking alongside her. Alma got used to this.
She sighed and said, "I know, amor. I messed up."
"Yes you did!", Pedro said, "You had no reason to say those things to her! To any of them!"
"I know, Pedro!! *sigh* I...just-"
Then, Pedro held hands with Alma and looked into her eyes.
"Look, Alma. I died to save you. To save the people. To save our children. I know you were raised to be perfect, but that doesn't mean you should instill it in the family. It stops them from being who they are. That house? Your blessings? It's not from the magic. It's from your familia. Our love, Alma, is our Miracle. Not some magic Gift. You made Juli grow up too fast, you made Pepa bottle her emotions, and need I bring up Bruno? You forced Isa to be perfect, you forced Dolores to use her Gift even when she pleaded to take a break, you never gave Luisa a break. Look, mi vida, I know you were looking out for the miracle, but family is more important.", Pedro explained.
Alma hung her head in shame and Pedro smiled. He cupped his hand on Alma's cheek and kissed her lips, just like he did before he died.
"Now, I need to go and comfort the family, but please talk to Mirabel. And apologize.", Pedro said sternly.
Alma chuckled and nodded and just before she was about to go on, she heard clopping hooves in the distance. Turning her head, she shook it off and saw a pink thread hanging from a spiky branch.
Then, in the distance, by the river where her love died, she saw Mirabel curled up into a ball, sobbing. Her heart was broken. She didn't mean those things. Alma then realized she had treated Mirabel JUST LIKE BRUNO.
Taking a deep breath, she walked up to Mirabel.
