Encanto : mirabel leaves

two necklaces

Hugo

No , No, No

Of all the people it had to be mirabel . The one person that could never ever love me , but I know I must do what I had thought I would do before meeting mirabel . Another girl already has a place in my heart but mirabel has become the heartbeat .

Mirabel

"mirabel" Cleo cried out knocking on her door .
She jumped up , startled as Cleo Barged into her room which was filled with sketches she had made of her family , she had been viewing them remembering the good memories she had with them , Cleo stared at the drawings after an agonisingly long pause he said "you're a good artist " then his expression turned cheerful "Happy Birthday , Mirabel , here a gift for you" he brought out a bouquet along with a beautiful silver necklace which had the four elements engraved on it . She stared at the beautiful yet simple necklace as Cleo smiled . She turned her gaze towards him and was about to open her mouth but Cleo beat her to it “no , mirabel you will have to take this, it's your birthday gift you can't refuse” she sighed .
Cleo sat beside her and inspected the drawing of Antonio . “he seems pretty cool, can he talk to animals ?” mirabel nodded “last gift ceremony was Antonio's”
He nodded as he inspected Isabela's drawing and said “Wow, is this your older sister ? Cuz she kinda gives me mean girl vibes” mirabel chuckled “she used to act like one too , senorita perfecta Isabela . Turns out it was more of an abuela thing , she was just pretending to be perfect , she didn't want to be but had to , I realised this when it was too late . I hope she is okay , do you know she was almost about to throw her life away and marry a big dumb hunk just to impress abuela.”
Cleo stared at her the turned his eyes back to the picture , he then switched to her mom's potrait and said “you look a lot like your mom”

“Thanks i get that a lot.” she replied .

He grabbed her hand and dragged her downstairs ,it was already evening . Due to some reason she felt heat rising to her cheeks when Cleo's hand touched her , she felt a spark she shook her head , and the spark went away . The Martinez's and hugo had prepared a huge celebration . As they sung her happy birthday , truth be told this was the happiest birthday she ever had . She wondered what cleo was thinking when he sighed dreamily while looking at the cake , then realised what it was so she gave him some of hers and even fed him using her hands . “hey ,I'm not a kid you know” said Cleo gobbling up the huge piece of cake that mirabel held up for him , she rolled her eyes and said “Yes you definitely aren't , perhaps it was hugo who was dreamily sighing while looking at the cake”
“In my defence the cake looked delicious” she giggled, hugo came over and said “The cake is delicious happy birthday mirabel, here,” he held out a small red pendant , then saw the necklace that she was wearing and hesitated . She smiled at him and said “I can wear two necklaces at once you know” she took the pendant from him and put it on , there was a slight glow as the two necklaces merged together , the merged necklace was even more beautiful than the previous two it had the four elements with a single red centerpiece . The red centerpiece had a drawing of mirabel on it . She smiled as she looked at her necklace “beautiful . . . ”
