Alfonso had continued to stay with the Madrigal’s for a little while to get used to their family dynamics. He was adjusting to the loudness and craziness that the family had been. 

“Tio Alfonso!” Antonio shouted. Alfonso was a little surprised by the given title, but he looked around then looked down to the floor until he finally saw him. “I-I did something that I probably shouldn’t have.” 

“Well, what did you exactly do?” Alfonso asked. 

“Follow me!” The little boy ran to his room while Alfonso followed behind him. He opened the door to his huge jungle of a room and let him enter. Antonio looked over his birds. “Please, show him.” one of his birds flew to the top of the tree then soon flew back. Alfonso noticed there was a weirdly shaped stuffed animal and opened his hand as the bird dropped it onto his palm. He looked at the partly ripped up tiger. Antonio looked down as the bird flew to his shoulder. “Tio Bruno is going to kill me…One of the new birds wasn’t behaving and stole it to take a few bites! I really didn’t mean for it to happen.” 

Alfonso examined the stuffed tiger. It wasn’t exactly in the worst condition he’s seen. 

“So you’re asking for my help?” Alfonso asked. Antonio gave a sad nod. "It's not too bad. I'm sure I can sew it back up."

"Y-You know how to do that!?" 

Alfonso gave a nod and hid the tiger's ripped parts in his hand. He got out of his room and went over to knock on Mirabel's room. 

"Coming!" Mirabel shouted as the sound of her footsteps could be heard. She opened the door and looked up.

"Oh! Hi there. What can I do for you?" Mirabel asked.

"I need to do some…fixing. Could I possibly borrow your sewing kit?" Alfonso asked. Mirabel smiled and gave a nod. She ran and grabbed her small basket filled with needles, thread, cushion and more. Alfonso grabbed the handle and walked back to Antonio's room. Alfonso sat on the grass and started to work. Luckily, Mirabel had the exact color of the tiger since she had made it for Antonio in the first place. When Alfonso had finished, he showed the final project to Antonio.

"Whoa! It's like nothing ever happened!" Antonio stated. Alfonso stood back up and dusted his pants.

"Your secret is safe with me." Alfpnso said, walking over to him and patting his back before leaving his room.

"Thank you, Tio!" Antonio's words were heard from the back of Alfonso. He gave a little smile then shut the door. 

The three siblings were cooking together for the family. Pepa was washing the fruits and vegetables in the sink while Julieta washed the rice next to her. Bruno was busy peeling the ingredients by the trash can.

"So…" Julieta said. "How'd you fall for him?"

Bruno looked up from the apple he was cutting and over at his sisters. They both looked at him, seeking for the answer. Pepa tried to hide her teasing smile while Julieta just looked at him. Bruno gave a slight bush. 

"I… I'm not too sure. I just naturally liked him when we went on the adventure.." Bruno answered.

"What exactly about Alfonso did you like? Is it because of his face!? Muscles!? His voice?" Pepa poked towards Bruno. 

"I liked Alfonso for his heart. He's really kind…"

"He really seems kind. Especially towards you." Pepa teased. Julieta laughed and smiled.

"Does he make you happy?" Julieta asked.

"He makes me really, really happy." Bruno answered as his heart beat paced, just talking about him. "He treats me really well."
