The moon took the stage,
Camilo and (Y/N) headed back to Casita and enjoyed the beautiful celebration.

Camilo parted ways with (Y/N) to support his brother before Antonio finally receives his gift.
(Y/N) on the other hand walked around the bright place, her eyes glistened every time she found something pretty or something that amazes her.

The girl also found Mariano with Isabella so she decided to let them be and have fun with herself that was until a little boy bumped into her.

"Oh, lo siento-" (Y/N) looked down and examined the boy who stared at her in shock. The boy had black wavy hair, tan skin, and brown hazel eyes. The little boy's nose was small and wasn't much of an upturn, he lips were plump and he wore a white t-shirt with a red scarf, a brown belt and brown pants along with black shoes.

"Oh my gosh, You're (Y/N)!" The boy smiled before quickly ushering his other friend to join in "oh, hello" (Y/N) smiled, he found the child's excitement quite cute and the way the others also jumped up and down.

"I told you she's nice!" A little girl scolded. The little girl's curly black hair was in a braid, her tan skin complimented her dress. The little girl wore a white flowy top with a pink skirt along with pink shoes. Her cheeks were tinted ted and her eyes were big like a doll's blue orbs, her lips curved into a pout as she gazed at the ground.

"May I ask, how do you know me?" The confused but flattered girl questioned. For all she knows, she hasn't been hanging out with other people other than Camilo.

"Antonio told us all about you!" The little boy gave a big smile "oh, really?" (Y/N) questioned, she seems super flattered to have someone talk about her in a less negative way "Yeah-He said Camilo loves to talk about you!" The little girl smiled and pushed the boy away so that she was the main focus.

"He...does?" (Y/N) covered her lips in shock, she never knew Camilo liked to talk about her, she guessed he just liked his family and was so proud he'd brag about them.

"Yeah he does," The little boy shouted, The little girl furrowed her eyebrows before gasping and pushing the little boy away making (Y/N) question their relationship whether they like each other or not. The little girl waved her hands to mention that she wanted to whisper something to (Y/N). (Y/N) bent down a little and offered her ears to the little girl who covered her mouth sideways "Between you and I," The little girl looked side to side to see if anyone was eavesdropping, the little boy wanted to sneak in but the little girl kicked him
"I think, Camilo has a crush on you..."

(Y/N) quickly stood up straight and coughed "That's just absurd" The girl felt her cheeks burn, she was looking down at the little girl and scoffed "I think he does..." The little girl smirked slyly but the little boy pushed her aside and grabbed (Y/N)'s arm "Enough of the girl talk! Let's go have fun!" with that, (Y/N) was hanging out with the little kids. Soon enough, other people started to join making (Y/N) smile.

The little girl (now known as Caira) pushed the little boy (Klaus) so that she was besides (Y/N).
"I must say, why do you too always fight? I mean, friends don't treat each other that way. Is what Camilo said" (Y/N) asked before biting into her corn barbecue. Caira shrugged and rolled her eyes "He's my twin brother, I'm allowed to physically hit him" Caira replied making (Y/N) giggle at her sarcastic remark.

On the other hand, Camilo stood besides (Y/N)'s (h/t) priest. Abuela let Camilo off greeting people to talk with the priest, she thought he might help for (Y/N) only talks and hangs out with him. They held conversations for the last 10 minutes or so, The priest wanted to have a word with Camilo, tell him everything he knows.

"You should teach her things you know before it's too late" said the priest intertwining his hands together behind his back "I do but you know, math can be pretty hard-" The priest chuckled and looked down to the ground, a habit he has when thinking.

"That's not what I meant, Camilo" The priest pursed his lips and thought of the young child "(Y/N)..." Camilo turned his head to the priest and stared "You need to teach her what's right and wrong, The lessons I couldn't teach her"

"What do you mean 'before it's too late'? does she have a sickness?" Camilo frantically asked, scared to lose his friend. A long pause, the priest sighed and pointed at an arched tree "See that full grown tree over there, I want you to straighten it" The boy thought it was absurd and shook his head "I can't do that, it's big compared to me! The wood is hard to be straightened back up" Said Camilo, trying to reason with the priest "If I could've straighten it when it was just a seedling then-"

"Yes," The priest nodded, Camilo took a second to fully realize "If you wait for too long to teach her rights and wrongs, she'll be too wrapped up in her head to understand who's right and what's wrong" The priest nodded, agreeing with himself and what God teached him.

"Will you do that?"

The night began, Camilo went back and joined in with his family while (Y/N) joined in the party with other people she met.

"(Y/N)?" The girl looked around and saw a shocked Priest in front of her.

(Y/N) excused herself from the children who groaned like a child would when they want to hang out with someone more but alas, she promise she'd have fun with them tomorrow, quite happy that she made new friends and the children were also quite happy to play tomorrow.

(Y/N) threw the corn in the trash and walked with the priest outside for some fresh air.
"You've change so much, I barely recognize you!" The priest happily cried, he was happy to see (Y/N) in good shape "Will I still have to go back?" (Y/N) frowned, looking down at the ground hoping she'd hear was she wanted to hear.

"But, what about the company?" The priest questioned, does she not want to continue the Dela Cruz legacy?
